The site is a beautiful one, rind the

quainted on that side of the river. The
town wos commenced less than two jeers
ago, end its growth, uhliougli tduw, ha
been continued and is stili progrcshin
and promises to become an important busi
ness plaee at an early period of i!s youih
ful existence. A new s'ore, (the third )
mid several new dwelling houses, urc
nearly completed, and several nurewu!
be commenced soon
Several intelligent nnd highly respecta
ble German' families have settled at this
jlnce, and re among its most intelligent,
public epirited and useful citizens. Tlu-j
ure among the foremost in the establish
ment and support of schools and the pub
lic press, and other improvements wherej
the public interest demand their ui 1. A '
large increase in the population and busi

ing season.
A large uteam saw-mill has le:v, pur
chased by Mr. Charles Seeger, am", v.'iii
be put in' operation at an early day, alter
the arrival of boa! s in the spiing. A
lath loaehine, turnkin- lathe, and oilier use
ful machine will accompany the mill.
A furniture f..c!ory will also be estab
lished by John Mathews, an experienced
workmaifiu that much needed branch of
industry. Such an establishment is a
desideratum in the country, which, when
once su oril i'I. - not be easily dispens
ed with. Another gentleman by the n:.;r.
of HofTmeyer, is to put up a steam iWar
mill, of sufficient dimensions and of Midi u
quality as to dc a large amount of busi
ness in the .ery'best manner. These In.,
provements, together with such aa w.ii
spring up arouad them, will nuke St.
Mary a .desirable location for residence
and business, and open the way ior every
oilier necessary improvement in business
operations..
We trust the establishment of a flour
ing mill will be the means of encouraging
the farmer to raae a large amount of corn
and wheat ko as to prevent the nec'esi!)
that lias heretofore existed, for the impor
tation of bread stuff. This course will
keep a large amount of money in the coun
try, whicti has been sent to bi. Louis an
niuJIy, for what might just -.v.il hi v.
been produced at home. Nor is it enough
to raise what is needed for home con
sumption and no more. L:i it be raised
for exportation and sale, and the value of
land and other property will be greatly
increased, and the comforts and luxuries
of life extended far beyond their prss-v.t
limits. '

in,:, lint if tho fcllowing resolutions
(refers to resolutions pissed at Ilelleview
and Nebraska City, whioh we omit,) of
largo public meetings, indicate the public
sentiment in Nebraska, we have u
lor such a Governor. We would like to
see the Governor of Kansas imi'ate Gov.
i Cuming, so far as ordering nn election and
convening the Legislature, but no farther.
We would not like to see a census taken,
without nolilyitij the people; we would
not like lo see an appor;ionmcnt of rep

of population in erder to advance the pri

The Hotel commenced a few days since
by the IJelleview Association, is progress
ing, and the prospect is that it will be
ready fur the reception of company by the
first of May, if not before.
Claimants are busy in putting up hous
es, and if the anxiety manifesto J in secur
ing claims be a criterion by which (heir
value m.'.y be determined, we know o" no
place where they ere more valuable than
they i:re here. If the progress of im
pruvci.ient continues in the same ratio for
i.ext six weeks, that it has ft,r ihe last
J i w;, the desolation which lias so long held
j s.vvr.y over the broad prairies, will give
IP'aceto the cheerful, beautiful reign of
t joiid and domestic life.
We hope the inclination that exis's in
the minds of claim-seekers, to secure the
best claims, will not be sufficiently strong
to tempt ihern lo invade the rights of orig
inal and rightful claimants.
The question arises here : who are the
rightful claimants, and by what principle
is the title to a claim to be tried!' The
right of discovery and actual oecupuncy,
evidently constitute a complete an 1 abso
lute right. The right of discovery, wiih
out an intention of actuid possession, does
not constitute a valid right, unless the
holder furnishes Borne equivalent to the
communily, equal in value, to that which
he withholds from it. .
If a capilalist holds a large amount 0!
....id in his possession, in such a way in to
,.:event its settlement, ho diminishes the
value of every other settlement in the
community, unless he furnishes (hat com
munity, an adequate equivalent for what
he withholds, in some form or other. If
he does this, the community of actual set
ters will have no right to cofiplain.
Settlers ought not to adopt a course
that will exclude capitalists; on the other
hand, capitalists ought not to adopt a joli
ey tending to exclude settlers. Give each
a chance, and then the growth and pros
peri'y of the country will be secured.

The following paragraph taken from the

most heartly endorse.

is the most thorough paced douph-faee loeofo
co demagogue of our extensive political ac
quaintance in 'he entire weit. The Nebraska
.News endorses him. Hi and Governor Cum

the whole Territorial Legislature can remedy
in ten. -Dubuque Tribune.
That there has been a great deal of mis
chief planed, and carried into execution
already, the people have found out to
their sorrow and shame.
If the mischief, fraud and debauchery
practiced since the death of Go". Hurt,
was to be continued in the same ratio in
which it begun, for the next two years,
ten years would be a very short period in
which to recover from tke confusion, cor

Dear Sir : During ihe last summer nnd
fall I have had constructed the principal
parts of a building, Some 39 feet long by
lr) in width, of pine materials, light but
substantial, having three rooms on the
ground floor, with doors, windows, man
ties, &.c, eve. These ore all painted
numbered, and put up in suitable sized
boxes and packages for shipping, which
along with the worked flooring and ceiling
boards, are now ready for moving. Sills,
joisis, rafters, roofing, &c, being purls
left until I shall inform myself whether
they might not be had cheaper on the
ground.
I have got the materials up in a style
which I supposed easiest and cheapest to
carry, & will present the appearance, when
completed, of neatness, bile it will afford
on a very short lime, a place convenient
for my family. 1 have no doubt that most
of the sickness of a new country has its
foundation, more with a reckless want of
preparing for the change, and having to
endure discomforts, many of which mas
be avoided by timely provision. Consc
quently, 1 would not t.eem it proper to
make any change westward that would
materially jeopardise heahh, and the vvanl
of comfortable shelter, I deem us impor
tant as suitable diet
Perhaps my arrangements, so far, are
premature, or in other words, "will not
pay," but I infercd otherwise from th
fact which your St. Louis advertisements
present, proposing to furnish lumber, ma
terials.c, and the absence of timber and
convenient mills in so new a country.
Vnworkcd lumber, to a large amount
is shipped from here to Si. Louis bv steam
boat for side, and if from there sent 1

If I could be useful in bringing with
mc to your section, n lo! or fruit trees, or
any of Ihe manufactures and products of
this section, to a small extent, at the sea
son I projose coming, I would be pleased
to as far as pos.iblr, had I information that
such would be easily disused of, without
interfering wilh my main object.
I am your Resjctfully,

FauiT Taxes and Skbusbeht. One
qI the first things needing attention in a
new country, is the cultivation of fruit
trees and shrubbery. If this branch of
business is began at the very commence
ment of the settlement, as il should be, it
will not be long before the country will be
supplied with a necessary urticle of diet,
and a luxury as rare as any country can
boast of. This country is well adapted to
the cultivation of fruit trees. We have
never see young trees flourish better than
in the western pari of Iowa and Nebraska.
Wild fruit is abundant and good, but a
very superior hrticle can be produced by
a little labor from ihe cultivated varieties.
We esteem fruit a necessary article of Jiet
and not a mere luxury. We are satisfied
that if good wholesome fruit was freely
used, that those billions disorders that
sometimes manifest themselves in this
country would rarely if ever ln-ke their
apearauce.
We would therefore most respectfully
suggest, that those intending to come here
from fruit stocked countries, to come sup
plied wi'.h every variety of such fruit
trees as they may be enabled to procure,
and w hen they get here, make it their
first business to set them out and take care
of them. If this is done by every selller,
a great want will have been provided for
at the right time.
To those who are already here and yet
unprovided for in this respect, we would
refer ihern to Maj. George Hepner, of St.
Mary, who has an excellent nursery, con
taining a vast number and a goodly varie
ty of young grafted fruit trees, also shrub
bery, w hich lie will sell as chesp as can
be offered in western Iowa.
Maj. Hepner is intending to open a nnr-
kij in jM--uevicw 111 uie spring. e
hope he will do an extensive business in
this interesting and useful department of
hunian labor, and furnish 1:1 a lengthy cat
alogue of Ids nursery for adverliaerueii,
and thus advance not only his cwa iutcr-
cut !ikei."!i eus.
