THURSDAY, APRIL no, l9-7.
E1 It is plensnnt to luluuM tlic siyns
if prosperity in Bellevue, nnd to witness
llio busy bustling of our citizens, loth the
old residents and llio innny new coiners.
Several new merchants hnvo already re
ceived their sloiks of goods, nml tire only
waiting to complete tlieir Mores, to open
nnd offer their wares to the public. Mr.
V. A. Whito' large new building is nearly
completed, and will soon be in readiness
la receive bin immense stock Mr. Nye
, is alj.it t- cpc;i his Hardware an.' ftuve
store in llolloway's slono house, uhLh he
will occupy until h) can erect a suitable
building Messrs Wattle Si l'il.o urc
busily engaged putting up their new store.
Other merchants nro on the way with
blocks of goods iiH'chnnica of various
trades, tailors, saddlers, blacksmiths, &.c,
&.C., nro preparing for business every
boat brings lots of new men, anxious to
engnge in business, nnd reap tho profits
to be realized the prevent season.
Heretofore tho town has been behind
tho country, nnd ns a consequence, the
people of Bellevue, and Sarpy county,
have been obliged to go to Council Mulls
or Glenwood, for the purchase of mer
chandise, but hereafter from present indi
, cations, we have no doubt, that our citizens
will bo able to supply themselves at home,
and no longer bo tributary to our neigh
bors in Iowa. Lots ore so much cheaper
in Ilellevue, than in the neighboring towns,
that our merchants who build upon their
own land, will bo nble to undersell their
neighbors; add to this the advantage
which they enjoy, of having their goods
landed right in town, almost at their doors,
and it will be seen, that they can sell
cheaper than the merchants who have to
incur n heavy expense to haul their goods
' several miles from llio landings.
The signs of tho times' nro favorable
to Bellevue, emigration is pouring in our
' hotels nro full, and there is a great de
mand for dwellings, stores &c. It is
manifest that the superior advantages of
Ilellevue are attracting attention. With
two important railroads pointing towards
our town on lb opposite side of the river;
with the best landings, and the most beau
tiful towu site on the Missouri; with
plenty of slono and timber ; with the most
ccrta'n indications of extensive coalmines
in our immediate neighborhood, and with
a country of land back of us unsurpassscd
in beauty and fertility any where, what
. is there then, that does not promise for
Bellevue a rapid growth, and aim st tin
exampled prosperity T Ilellevue is bound
to go ahead.
Sieumboat Arrivals.
Sinco our last issue, we have had sev
eral boats up from St. Louis, among them
the Spread Engle, White Cloud, Gray
Cloud, Omaha, Florence and the Min-ne-
ha-ha, all of them with freight and pas
sengers for Bellevue. The Min-ne-hu-ha
Capt. Baker's new and splendid 6teumcr,
arrived last Thursday with a very large
amount of freight for F. A. White and
other merchants of our city, and a con
siderable number of passengers. She is
ono of the largest and most elegant boat
on the Missouri river, being in fact t
perfect palace. Under the charge of her
popular captain, she cannot fail to obtain
a liberal patroiftge. The Min-ne-ha-ha
and the White Cloud were both at our
wharf at the same time. All the cap
tains with whom we have conversed, re
port the Bellevue landing as the best on
the river. In the highest stage of water,
our levee has never been less than four
feet and a half above the surface, with
high and dry roads to nnd from it. Of
what other landing on the Missouri can
the same thing be said with truth f
IIou. i:. Hubrly.
Judge Wakely, of the Supreme Court
of the Territory of Nebraska, is now on
a visit to Bellevue, and is spending a few
days at the residence of Hon. Chief Jus
lice Ferguson. The Judge has been pre
ceded by a reputation for sound legal
learning and an unimpeachable integrity
of which he may well be proud. The
bar of Wisconsin has lost one of its
brightest ornaments, the beuch of Nc
braska has secured a strong and able etli
ctr, and the Third Jud cial District to
which he has been appointed acquires in
him a bona-fide settler whose gentleman
ly bearing and goodness of heart will
. render hiin a respected and universal
favorite.
SGWe acknowledge ourselves in
! b:ed to Hon. U. I). Chapman, f.-r favors.
Junction (II). !
The lite hii;li water has tested the value
of Junction City ns a town site, and viry
forcibly demonstrated tho wbdom of its
selection. While niot of the bottom
lands on tho luwa side have been inunda
ted, submerging some, nnd indeed most of
the towns laid out nn the flats, Junction
city his remained above the water, show
ing conclusively, that it is on higher ground
than any of tho hollom towns, except it
may be St. Marys. Not only was it above
the water which submerged other towns,
but tho ridgo of lands, on tho western
part of which it is situated, has nl. been
above the highest water affording a dry
road from Junction City, all tho way buck
to the Bluffs, whero tho Musipiito creek
comes through, tind where tho M. &. M.
11. 11. id located ; from which point it was
the only passable way to the river. The
superiority of the location is now fully es
tablished, and the effect must be, greutly
to enhance the value of property there.
Junction city and St. Marys, nro the only
bottom towns for a long distance on the
Iowa hide, which were not either wholly
or partially submerged St. Marys was
like Junction city, during tho height of
tho hito freshet, high and dry.
District Court In Oorigo and C'a
Couutlc.
The April term of the District Court of
the First Judiciul District, in, and for, the
county of Dodge, has, by order of the
J ikIl' e of tho district, been udiourncd to
the first Tuesday of June next. ThCT,i
o - - - ' . V
April term of the Court in Cuss county,
msnlso by the same judge, been adjourned
to the fourth Monday of May. Wo un
derstand that the reason for these adjourn
ments consists in the fact that our Legis-
uturo nt its lute session, repealed a great
part of our civil and criminal code, leaving
us, for the time being, without any statute
aws, regulating civil remedies, and crimes
and their punishment. Many suits had
been commenced under the repealed laws,
which were pending at the time of the
repeal, and it is a question among lawyers
whether tho repeal of the laws did not
operate to dismiss nil pending suits. In
this embarrassing state of things, we un-
erstand it to bo the wish of Judge Feh-
ci'sos, who has for some time been the
only judge in tho Territory, to consult
with one or both of his associates, before
taking action in the premises, as tho asso
ciate judges are expected to arrive soon,
we hope that there may be occasioned but
ittle delay or inconvenience to suitors, or
the public.
(ovcrnor of Kansas.
Gov. Geary having resigned his oflico
of governor of Kansas, Hon. Robert J.
Walker, has been appointed by President
Buchanan to that responsible, and hitherto,
troublesome past. From the well-known
antecedents of Gov. Walker, we antici
pate a rigorous, and able discharge of the
executive duties of that Territory. We
lo not think that he will take sides with
nny faction, but will fearlessly nnd impar
tially discharge his duties to the whole
people. It is understood that Gov. XW.
has large discrctionaay powers, and that,

The abovo named twin-cities, tho for-

I'niTon Hi i.Ltvi r. (i.mrrt,
DetrSir: Thinking a few lines from
the Capital miht interest your readers, I
write for the purpose of civing you n few
items from the city of ' Magnificent Fes
tivities, 1 nave lieen lu re several days,
and in my humble way watching what
little of tho machinery of Government I
could see from an obscure point. The
city, of course, has but a few visitors now,
coiujmred to tho thousands hero ut the
inauguration ; but there are enough left
yet. Representatives of tho "dear peoplu"
are here by delegations from every State
and Territory ; and it i.i a source of no
small interest to a disinterested spectator
to see how many watchful, eager, anxious
faces of hungry ollico expectant you
meet in the thronged hotels of the city.
It is untouching when we stop to estimate
how many have done eminent service,
hnvo agonized for their country. As fur
ns I can learn, Old Buck (ills the Fresi
denti.il chair (up to the present writing),
with the nirs of nn old, tried and expo
rienced statesman. I lind that the vari
ous offices of the Territories are more
fought after (linee the discoveries of the
many avenues open to hpeculution), than
many foreign appointments, with but few
or no p.rtpii:,ites. Kansas has her dele
gation here headed by Whitlield, who is
a man of good intellect, keen perception,
and an iron will and determination known
only to the best of western men. , Robert
J. Walker was appointed Governor of
Kansas to-day in place of Geary, re
signed. Wulkcr declines. Who stands
next the Cabinet only knows, but I be
lieve it is determined to appoint a South
ern man for Governor of Kan -as nnd a
Northern man for Governor of Nebraska.
Changing the former policy of Fierce, ns
on have heard betore this, there nre
three new Land Offices established in
Nebraska, and three dozen applicants to
fill these places. Among the number
whoso claim. ar strongly urged by the
Council Bl iffs nnd Omahn Ferry Com
pany, stands first one Mr. Ferett, now a
member of tho Nebraska Council, nnd
Mr. Furnace, nlso of Nebraska Council.
Thus wo see the reward, or hope of re
ward, these men have in tho support of
this Ferry Company (all non-residents of
Nebraska for these lucrative offices) for
their service rendered said Company last
winter on the Capital question, contrary
to the known wishes of their constituents ;
but there is about as much chaive of their
being nppointed to fill any honorable
place in our Territory ns there is of their
heintr notified of a place for them in Old
Buck's Cabinet. Among the oalance of
applicants to fill these places in tho Land
Otlices, I think I. L. Gibbs, of Nebiaska
city, John C. Turk, of Omaha, and O.
D. Finch, of Fort Des Moin, stand the
best chance, and most likely will be suc
cessful. The two first gentlemen you
know well.
f fv t A i
Mr. l inen is a gentleman I
loo wel! known, nnd favorably too. in
Iowa, to neeil a comment.. The Hon.
Augustus Hall, of Iowa, is not an appli
cant, but is much spoken of as the proba
ble future Governor of Nebraska. I un
derstand he is very strongly recommended
by many friends, North and South. I
have met him here many times, and from
my brief acquaintance with him. I should
think no better upj ointment could be made.
Mr. Hall is a line-looking man, of supe
rior ability, and a reputation for integ
rity, probity and honesty beyond a ques
tion; nnd of all the Nebraskians I hav-i
met here, I think, without excepti m, he
is their choice, though the Council muffs
and Omaha city Ferry Company, through
their organs here, all from low land
sharks and city lot and claim speculators
in Nebraska (though living in Iowa), nre
urging with a zeal worthy a better cause
the retention of our "weak, imbecile
non-resident City Lot Monopoly, directly
against the known so well expressed and
almost unanimous wish and will of the
people to bo governed by said executive,
vv !"? " monstrous toreign monopoly,
which would resort as they have done in
I lhQ hjs(ory vf lhe Trritoryi ,0
j ,m.ail4 most corri;pt and foul for the ac
complishment of their purposes, though
J when accomplished would blight and
curse evL'.r' '" the Territo-
, ry save those wan which these non-resi-
: dents are C01iliected, nnd in dollars and
j cents 0 closely allied, and while they
j despise the traitor to every principle of
ri'11 a.nJ J"s,Ke wherein thousands nre
most deeply concerned, they like the
treason which brings them gold, ami of j
course ttre saiialied with their machine.

ally carrying out the principles so plainly
enunciated in the Kansas-Nebraka bill,
of squatter sovereignty or not. We look
with confidence in the certain correction
of this wrong, for we are inspired as we
write that the will of the people shall be
done, for we remember lhat around Old
Duck, as his constitutional adviv rs, fore
most, towering above many others, the
squatters and actual residents of the west
ern Territories have an ublo advocate in
Gen. Cass.
What will interest our settlers more
than anything else except the removal of
the political stench which has annoyed
our Territory since its organization, is
the subject of tho sale of the public
lands. The information I received here
from the proper department, which I be-;
lieve to be reliaide, is to the effect that
the land will not be put in market until
next fall at least, and the policy now is to
postpone the sa'es as lonir a: possible, so,
to give a simple opinion (from what I
hear expressed by those who will have
mu h to do with these matters), I do not
think there will be a public sale of nny
considerable portion of land until the
spring of 5S.
The weather is warm and pleasant here
ns summer. Judge John Kinney, Chief
Justice of Utah, started this morning for
Nebraska, and intends to take his family
and settle there. He will be a valuable
acquisition, for I think he is a gentleman
and a statesman, nml has certainly won
for himself nn enviable reputation for the
very able nnd efficient manner in which
he discharged tho most difficult duties as
Chief Justice of that Territory. Tho
b II for n further appropriation of money
for the Capitol at Omaha was defeated in
the Senate. It is pleasant for one asking
and looking for no office here, to see how
many arujolitely taken by tho arm, how
many are see'dug introduction) to great
men, nnd devising a thousnnd ways to
bring an inlluenee to bear on Old Buck's
Cabinet to secure nn appointment.
It is reported 'Walker has accepted the
appointment of Governor of Kansas.
In haste, yours,

Pacific City is situated in Mills county,

Great valley of the Missouri, three miles east
of the moutii of Platte or Nebraska river, four
miles east of Plattsmouth. the Nebraska ter
minus of tho B. &. M. R. R., thirty miles north
east of Nebraska City, twenty-five miles south
of Council Bluffi, Iowa, and Omaha City in
Nebraska. It is adjoining the bluffs of the
Missouri river, at the entrance of Poney creek
into the bottom. It extends into the bottom
two miles and within two miles of the channel
of the Missouri river, the bottom gradually de
scending to tne river, ine uncertainty of the
river hank for a mile east of the river unap
proves of the propriety of building within that
distance of the river.
The location is a healthy, romantic, and
beautiful one, being backed by blulls two or
three hundred feet high, upon the top of which
may be seen the great Missouri bottom for
thirty miles south, and twenty miles north.
Tlie site has long been looked upon as one
of the most beautiful sites in Western Iowa
for a large and thriving City, and hag been
held by the first settlers in Iowa for that pur
pose, only awaiting the improvement of the
country, the demands for such a town, and
the Railroad facilities which are soon to be
completed.
A branch of the Burlington and Missouri
River Railroad will be built both north and
south of this place. The St. Joseph, Council
Bluffs, and Sioux City Railroad will undoubt
edly run immediately through the town site.
Stone of the best quality and most extensive
in Western Iowa les one mile south, and fndf
miles north of the town.
Four steam mills within five miles of the
town are in successful operation, sawing from
three to five thousand feet per day, besides a
number of water mills.
Another steam mill is on the way to be put
up in the town.
A newspaper will be published there by the
first of June next.
Lumber is now on the ground, and being
sawed, to erect fifteen or twenty houses.
Contracts have been made to'burn two and
a half million brick this season.
The advantages which this place has over
all others in western Iowa the Railroad fa
cilities which Pacific City cannot miss hav
ing, together with being supplied with the
best water in the world, with timber, and the
best agricultural counties in Western Iowa and
Nebraska lying east and west of it, is a sure in
dication that long ere tlie Railroad is comple
ted that Pacific City will be the largest city
west of Burlington.
Terms of sale will be one-third down ; one
third in four, and one third in eight months.
This will be the last and only chance to pro
cure lots of the Company, as the remaining
lots after tlie sale will be devided among the
members of the Company, and hence will be
come the property of private individuals, and
prices, as a matter of course, be advanced.
