BELLEVUE GAZETTE. m g u i ii cu ur A. STRICKLAND & CO., M.. TIIOS. J. OUNNISON, EDITOR. DELLEVUC, N. T. 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, in xaci, ne maue mis a commum upon jrran.hnotherly" executive, Mark W. which he would accept the appointment. Izard.

They are situated about eighteen miles south-westerly from BolWue, Plattford being in Sarpy, and . , bouth Uend in Cass county, just at the point where the Platte takes its greatest bend to tho south; they aro beautifully lo- cated in the midst of timber and stone in abundance, at one of tho best ferry cross ings over the riatte; a regular terry is about lo be established, under a charter 1 It remains to be seen whether this ad obtained last winter, and we have 110 ministration here at Wa-hington will doubt it will be more used than almost c"rlTct '!" greawron? l!' re'oval , 1 m . . 1 of Ijov.

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. .a.i..'.i n -.. iwtt...l .iM. 'I.. m,.fc.i. 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, Washington, D. C. S. CO'JIT PROCLAMATIONS.

THE Proprietors of Pacific City will offer for sale, at Public Auction, on ths ground, On Thursday, the 2Slh day or May 1S5?, sir 573 inmrnij) Mm 1 1 Sale to commence at 10 o'clock and continue from day to day until the same are sold. Pacific City is situated in Mills county, Iowa, on a beautiful plateau of ground in the 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. j. w. coolidoe.
