"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.

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.

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

beau' if d one, being hacked by Id ifFs two or
three hundred feet high, noon (he top of which

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.

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.

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.

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
