Spring Is coming1: Don't you hear her in the rills, Tripping gaily o'er the valley, Flying o'er the sunny hills 1 Nat lire leaps to meet her coming, With her teeming, babbling throng t (Jhiilsome Spring, with joy we greet thee, With a cheerful voire of song. SpHiig is coming ! Spring is coming I She is in the Southern breeze j M 'rrily the birds arc singing Matins in the forest trees Modest inlets are springing From the gladsome earth the while, And the butter-cups and daisies Greet her w ith a lovers smilo. Spring is coming! Spring Is coming! Tiny leaflets venture out Torrents that for months h.ve slumberod, ll.nl e n seaward with a shout. Wanton breezes kiss the flowers Bulterllies are on tlio wing j Birds have set the day to marry, And invited guests to sing. Spring is coining I Spring Is coming I Joyous beats the pulse of life t Weary ones, almost desponding, Start anew to meet the strife.

Kk3 We copy the following; excellent letter from the New York Herald, nnd as the writer speaks candidly and frankly of our town (a thing nut common among many of the Eastern coi respondents), we give it in lull, nnd ask for it a perusal. In my former letter I promised to give you, occasionally, viewa of Nebraska, its towns, cities, present Condition and future prospects. This tjwn n pujuieu in the county of Douglas, four miles north of the junction of the I'latto and Missouri river. The rnjipillion creek washes its southern base and Missouri its eastern. Tho land- ing on the Missouri is lime stone rock, and the impetuous waters dash their mad dened foam acrainbt it in vain. Tho land ing is a permanent fixed fact, as unalter able as the laws of nature, and the citi zens of this goodly city in embryo, may justly congratulate themselves on having the most accessible and unalterable land ing on the MissouriViver. Tho town is situnted on an elevated plateau of lan slightly broken by ravines in the norther!) portion, and stretching away to the south ward in a plain of unsurpassed beauty; the ground rises gently, and then swells into hills of fine proportions to tho west ward. Take it all in all, it is one of the most magnificent situations which tlio God of nature has vouchsafed to this beautiful Territory. The town now numbers fifty houses, and its population is about four hundred. It ranks third in size and in im portance, but is in reality the first settled and oldest place in the Territory. In the year 1S1.3 the Presbyterian Hoard of Foreign missions founded a miss ion establishment at this place for the con version and education of the Omaha Indi ans. The Rev. Mr. McKinney was the first missionary in charge of this work, and it continued under hid churge until 1S0. Since that time it has been under the charge of the Rev. Mr. Hamilton. The chief of the Omaha tribe, feeling a sense of gratitude to the mission for ser vices rendered, granted to the Board of Missions 610 acres of land, contiguous to tho mission house, and tho said grant wai duly ratified and confirmed to the grantees by the government. This property, there fore, has the merit of having the clearest title cf any property at the present time in tho Territory. The ceaseless race of im migration has continued to roll westward; in due time the Indian title to this vast re gion was extinguished, ai.d the Indians temoved far up to the northward oca res ervation, at the Iilackbird Hillo. The Kansas and Nebraska bill gave birth and being to this Territory, and in this very mission house, from which I ain now wri ting, uov. Hurt, formerly of hJiith Caro lina, resided, and issued his fir a procla million to the people, and established hero tho temporary capital of the Territory The Governor arrived here with his health impaired, and thortly after deceased, when T. U. Cummiivgs, Eq, tho Sccreta 7,1857. ry, succeeded him as temporary Governor, and it was under tho auspices of Gov. Cumuiiugsthnt the capital was located nt Onmha. Tho 0 10 ncres of land granted by tho Indians for agricultural purposes hns becomo tlio sito of a city, which tho future will lift into grand proportions, nnd destined to bo a city of nolo on tho Miss ouri. Tho Presbyterian Board of Miss ions havo caught tho infectious ppirit'uf speculation, and divided tho property into 100 shares, which were originally issued at iho par value of 500 each, making tho sum total of 50,000; but theso shares have continued to increaso in value, nnd nro now worth $1,000 each. Tho Board still retain unsold, about 00 shares, nnd from these fiures they will realizo about 100, 000 dollars for this deed of gift a very fair exhibit for a' missionary enterprise, and if all nro conducted with tho same exemplary prudence nnd financial skill, tho business of Indian missions will be considered ono of tho most profitable en terprises of tho day. In nccordanco with our squatter laws and regulations tho adjoining property was claimed by several individuals and Iuid ofT in town lots. A spirit of rivalry nnd a clashing of interests existed between tho two companies which has retarded natenally tho growth and prosperity of this place; this conflict of interest is now harmonized, the two companies havo parti ally consolidated, and the town is growing rapidly. I have thus given you a history of the origin and growth of Bellevue up to the present time. I will now consid er it iii its inoro important relations to the future. By referiug to tho map, you will see the great Platto river starting from its many springs in the Rocky Mountains, and by various forks and streams, concentrating avast volumo of water, and emptying fnto the Missouri a few miles south. This river is on the forty-first parallel of lat itude, is equi-distant from the North and South extremes of the Union; is in the di rect line of travel from East to West, and its mouth is the geographical center of the United Slates. Its head waters fur nish the only passes through the Rocky Mountains, tho water in its flow from some inexplicable law of nature hugs close to the blulls on its southern side, leaving a wide and splendid valley on its northern shore. If nature in its wise and far-seeing sagacity had rent the veil of the future and planned a rout for a Pacific railroad, he could not have been more lavish in her gifts. The ground is ready graded, and it is only necessary for tho art and hand of man to lay down die superstruc ture and place the iron horse on the track. Tho ground between Beilevuo and the mouth of tho Platte is low, and the oppo site shore afiords no good reliable ground for the npproach of a railroad or tho con struction of a bridge. The ground at Bello vue being an elevated plateau, firm and unyielding, the shore directly opposite high, and beyond the flood of the Missou ri, and die water compressed into a nar . ....,. ...:,i. - v. i .1..

Two railroad companies, laying their rails across iho S;it? cf Io.va, viz: die Davenport and Mi.;uuii and tho B'trling- ton and Missouri Railroad, are straining every nerve, and using every practicable means to reach he?. The Davenpcrt and Missouri rood, as planned, debouches from the bluff on the Iowa side five miles north and tho Burlington lea miles onth. It is believed dial both roads are desirous of a Pacific Railroad grant It is thought that both may terminate directly opposite our city, and merging themselves here with one inm tiu-uK, procure the grant, and speed their way via Salt Lake to the gold - eu shore of California. These fact, these thoughts and reflections have given ,..t , , i . , a stimulus to the value of real estate, and th residents of this beautiful embryo city look confidently- to the future, and see NO. 27. with tho eye of faith their streets filled with a muhifui iotts population and lined with imgnifii.ent fdurehousos; theso wasto ground.'! covered with tho palaces of mer chant princes; tho tread, tho stamp and tho shriek of tho mighty engines tlint will centre here, nnd convey and distrib ute t) all poitiou.1 of our common country tho products of tho globe. A company of capitalists, having an eyo to tho futuie, hnvo purchased, nnd nro now laying out a city on tho Iowa side. It is tho identical place- at which 5.0U0 Mor mons encamped years ago, nnd concentra ted their forces preparatory to plunging into unknown regions, and finally cross ing here, wended their weary way to tho great Salt I.uko. Tho place is known to tho world ns Traders' Point, nnd if tho hopes nnd nspiration of its projectors nro realized, and tho two roadj make this their turm'nus, a great nnd powerful city will cover the ground, and a golden har vest will reward the enterprise of its foun ders. There is now residing at St. Mar y's, a thriving Own four miles south of Traders' Point, an Indian trader Peter Sarpy, l'sip well known to tho Mormon emigration ami to tho travellers of tho North west. This gentleman has been familiar with this Western country for tlio past thirty years, has travelled over it timo and again, is familiar with hair breadth escapes and peiiloua enterprises, knows tho Indian character and its various dia lects better than an Indian himself. I had an introduction to this gentleman a few days ago, and was much interested and highly amused by his graphic description of men und things in tho Western world. P. Sarpy, Esq. was quietly enjoying him self in his trading post, hero at Bellevue; ho was tho only white inhabitant of this vust country solo monnrch of all ho sur veyed when a letter was presented to lu'm by an Indian boy. Tho incident of a letter was surprising, but tho contents of that silent messenger was still extraordin ary. It was a letter from Brighnm Young, advising him of his arrival with a troop of 5,000 Mormons, nnd soliciting his advice and protection from tho Indians. Hero was food for reflection. Hero was an in cident of no common character. For years solo whito inhabitant of these vast solitudes, sojo monarch, in fad, of Nebras ka, tho only man having the power to hold the Indians in check, and give him a pass Iort westward; tho only man that could converse in the Indian dialect and act as interpreter; the only man that could svpply their pressing necessities of food and clo thing. Hero was a subject for thought; would he, in aiding this wandering troop, injuro himself? Would it cause tho sceptro to depart from liim! Mr. Sarpy refheted; he was in dealt and uncertainty. Anoth er letter, couched in still more beseeching terms, was handed him. It portrayed the abject condition of his troop, the sufT- i cring and destitution of tho women and children. It touched the noble heart of the Indian trader, and stirred his impulses. He ordered his canoe, crossed over and had an interview with Briham Young; ; , , i . I , t ! l"Mly VViUl M lnil"'u Ior mL'm . , Y ,,, .,,...,,-,, Xu.. r Salt Lake, und actually accompanied tho irtxm two hundred miles on their iournev; The boeno of parting as described by him. is one worthy cf the pencil of die artist; wotiu u and children on their knees before him; l.'righaiu Young grasping him by the hand, siirrouudi d by youthful men and grey haired veterans in tears. This is 6ne of the incidents in die life of General Peter Sarpy. To the Indian trader vva tho whul'5 Mormon troop indebted for life, and tho uoblo impulses and generous acts cf this wanderer from civilization are worthy of being handed down to posterity."
