BELLEVUE GAZETTE. rviit. iinrn dy 8. A. STRICKLAND & CO., TIIOS. J. GUNNISON, EDITOR. DELLCVUE, M. T. "THURSDAY, MAY 7. 1S.7. 13T Tito month of. May litis opcw-J upoa us, bringing with it a clour ky and a clomlless nunsVine. This 1ms so cheer cJ the heart of our citizens nml nerved thorn to such activity, that thrift oiul en terprise tire, everywhere vi-jlite. Houses are being built, lots femnl nrnl limits tilled with a zest nt once cnmnieiil:iblo and encoiiroging. Immigration is fad pouring in upon us. livery arrival nt our wharf brings persons of un active and in ilustrioim character, who come, not for speculation merely, but ns settler. and cultivators. Our ncconimotlatiuns, nliho' ample, are insufficient to meet the grow iug wants of tho place, and further ac commodations inu bo provided. Rome ouo will doubtless erect temporary ac commodations fur tho many thnt are Hock ing to this lovely hpot, until more perma nent ones can bo provided. Messrs. Jennings and Lovjoy, who, wo leurn, have largo contracts for building!, will do all in their power to hurry them up as fast as possible. Tho hundreds of I ales of goods landed upon our lovee this week, really looked like living. We could hardly make ourself believo that wo were in a now country, so many goods of va rious kinds piled one upon another in all directions. Seaton and Howls, we should judge, aro determined not to bo outdone by any firm in tho Territory, while White and others are largely importing goods of the most fashionable order. Our frienda in the surrounding country will find ut Dellevue everything that their taste may desire. Mr. Lovejoy has received a large number of well made and beauti fully painted wagons from the Ea-d. We presume our farmers could obtain one for the Bolid material. He is too kind a man to refuse when a legal tender is made. We were pleased to witness the importa tion of lurge boxes of ornamental trees by tho Rev. Mr. Hamilton and our valued citizen Mr. Cook. This shows n tatc in the right direction, and augers well for the future appcaranco of the place. The blending of tho ornamental with iho use ful cannot be too highly appreciated, es pecially in the infancy of our existence as a city. We have already two brick yards in process of erection, which, together with the thousands of lumber that are soon ex pected, will greatly facilitate the growth of tho place. A new steam Ferry 11. mt on the river at this point is now a fixed fact, and in a few days will bo in success ful operation. As wo have the best cross ing on the river, a rock-bound hore w'th high table lands on either side, the trav eling public will be directed to this point, For tho cultivation of tho morals of our citizens, two large and beautiful church edifices are to be immediately erected one by the Methodists and tho oter by the Presbyterians. Several new firms have just opened in our midst ; among others wo notice that of Messrs. D.ivcn port and Eicker, merchant tailors, from Pennsylvania, who are able to accommo date our citizens with loose or tight fits, just as they please. Of course they will advertise. Messrs. Turner Si Co., have also leased tho large new store of Mr. Jennings, and are about introducing to our citizens a general assortment of goods of the real Chicago ttyle. We be speak for them the patronage that expe rience and courtesy always demand. We welcome them to our uinl-d, and wi-di ihetn success. Other now comers will be no'iced in duo time. The present mth of the times indiJate a prosperous future for Bellevue. EQ From the h tti r writers of Wash ington, we learn that the Hon. P. C. Ward, of New York, i tpoken of as tha probable future Secretary of Nebraska, and also that his claims are 'urged ly many strong influences of his own State and Pennsylvania. We are personally acquainted with Mr. Wurd, anl arc pleased to hear of the probali'ity of his coning to our Territory to live. Mr. Ward has, we- venture the assertion, a bright a record, as a Democrat of the Jeflersonian and Jackson school, as any statesman of his age, for amid tho con tinually changing anJ 'ever bhifiing poli tical elements of New York for the last twelve years, he has always oeen found au -.lie, faithful, and con-istent National -Democrat. He has repeatedly refused elective honors at home, and whether he is a candidato of his own choice for this position, or would accept it, we arj not advised. Tlio Slrnmrr Am Ullgix. Ho you that are b mud fur Jhe North or the South, or ever expect to trucl npo.i tho Missouri river, if you should reach the whnif in time to take tho Asa Nil pus, you will bo fortunate indeed, and if you do not have a happy aod pleasant trip it will be your own fault. We have tried it, and (pe.iV, as one who knows. She is a beautiful steamer and hns a noble commander. For speed, reliability and safety for a long journey of a thou sand mile over sand bars, by sings, and through tho many casualties bo frequently occurring to simmers on this turbid stream, tho Asa Wilgus ha no superior on this river. Her captain, formerly captain of the A. ('. (iodiu, is well and favorably known to our-traveling public Prompt and efficient as an officer, lie is no less kind, obliging and courteous as n gentleman to his passengers, while his clerk, McPherson, h a gentleman of the first wa'er, and whether in a business or social point of vievv.it is plea. -ant to make and profitable to cultivate his acquaint ance. For Hi" Rell'-vue Gazelle. IM-.H'a'loiia!. It behooves us all, a we tiro rwifily gliding along in prosperity and eminence, a a city of the first rank, in Nebraska, that we look to thoro thing that so nearly concern us, and repaid with si.;nifi nnee those institution that will promote the fu ture interests of tha embryo city Hllli: vet. As tho flow or emigration is still pour ing upon us, ns iho indications still au:-pi-eato that "tho lido ha b-mlly moved westward," why not we, ns a city, show to tho moving multitude such "local" priviliges, such "peculiar" advantages that none of our riv.iU can gainsay or refute. Linked and combined with American national wealth is public education. It lias for its ndvoente tho whole nation ; tributes of taxation ore laid at it feel annually ; it is the power that makes vice quail and removes tho fanaticisms and suporst tions of ignorant humanity; it is "tho little leaven" that imparts peace and plenty to the community. Why need wo dwell, nt lngh, on the importance of the subject it is even ad mitted. This city must eventually have schools, academies, and in all probability, a col Iosto. Perhaps some old fosjie-s ask when shall these things be ? They fold their arms in ease and wait for "the moving of the waters," whilst some rival passes and receives the reward. . Tho advantages to a city in having a well conducted school are many. Look at Cleveland, Ohio. It is known far and wide for its excellent schools. A western city, and let us suppose JJellevue, with such a reputation, must undoudtedly in fluence that kind of emigrant of the Eastern States who have always enjoyed the benefits of good schools, and who dis like to deprive their children of the means of education, feeling that iho sac rifice of moving to tho beautiful west, as much as they e'esiro to do, is too grat compared with tho education of their families. Let Dellevue have such an in fluence, and soon our landing will be crowded with multitudes. Now as we have an excellent and com modious school edifice nearly completed, let all unite ono strong pull bo made t build up a good school ; one that sha'l spread our name far and w ide, and at tract the attention of all new comers to the west. Let uj have a real, living active and intelligent teacher; one who loves the profession, and not him who follows it only for the "loaves and fishes, Our city ha now an impetus that mtM bear down all opposition ; auspices of the fuluro were never so brilliant; then let u be at work immediately; let us attend to this school matter us a ease of neces sity. Wo feel confident the citizens of Ih llevue ore alive to their own intercut. All that is wanted is the will. AN OIJSERYER. Arrived. Hon. S. A. Sruicm.ASD arrived home last Saturday evening, accompanied by his blooming and accomplished bridj; and was welcomed l y iheo hearty cheers from our citizens, a he stepped from tho fteumer upon our wharf lie meets with a warm welcome from his old friends and neighbor.. It beems the Hon. gentleman found time, during a flying trip to New York and Washington, to woo, win and wed one of Ohio's fair daughters, and we congratulate the happy couple upon their mutual good fortune. The Free Stato party of Leaven worth city, Kancus, Lave elected their mayor by ISO majority. The opposition had two candidates in the field. f Mr, J. A. Riructt, on eminent and practical teacher, is now sojourning in 15 II "Vie. A we have a beautiful .structure creeled for school purposes, and the intention is to have a school in Hello vue, why not, nt once, i-.nno to a conclu sion to procure a t'i her. Wo want no new hand nt tho 'bellows," no mediocre, no jaek-of-all-trades, but a man that is rnpable, had experience, and who has adopted leaching as a profession. We believe, and can say without hesitancy, that Mr. Harnett is tho best man we can pet to take charge of our school. Mr. Harnett has been under tho training of Dr. Sprecher, of Wittenberg College, Springfield, Ohio, and for the lu t four years has been advancing the rau-e of education in that great Slate, Ohio, meet ing with much success in a teacher. Let us have a good school started here immediately, and soon families will seek this p'ace in preference to all others. We say rvuij our should bo interested in this thing. All lend encouragement and the cause shall not fail. I'airt it v i.i: ion.

THE Proprietors of Pacific City will offer for sale, at Public Auction, on the ground, On Thursday, the 28th day oniay 1 857, Sale to commence at 10 o'clock and continue from day to day until the same are sold. I'acilic City is situated in JMills county, Iowa, on a beautiful plateau of ground in the Great valley of the Missouri, three milea east of the inoutli of Platte or Nebraska river, four miles east of Plattsmouth the Nebraska ter minus of the B. & M. R. R., thirty miles north east of Nebraska City, twenty-five miles south of Council lil'iffs, Iowa, and Omaha City in Nebraska. It is adjoining the bluffs of' the Missouri river, at the entrance or 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 the river. The uncertainty of tho river banks for a mile east of the river disap proves of the propriety of builJinj within that distance of the river. ' The location is a healthy, romantic, and beau' if d one, being hacked by Id ifFs two or three hundred feet high, noon (he top of which may be seen the great Missouri boltoin for thirty miles south, and twenty miles north. The site has lo-ig been looked upon as one of Ihe most beautiful sites in Western Iowa for a large and thriving City, and has been held by the first settlers in Iowa for that pur pose, only awaiUnr the improvement of the coun'rv, 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 bo'h north and sou'h of this place. The St. Joseph, Council BlulTs, and Sioux City Railroad will undoubt edly run immediately through the town site. S'one of the best q-iali'y and most extensive In Western Iowa lies one mile south, and four 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 tho pround, 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 th.it long ere the Railroad is comple ted'that Pacific Clly will be the largest city west of Burlington. Terms of gale 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 the sale will be devilled among tht 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. cooi.idok.
