In speaking of "Hotels In Nebraska," the
Nebraska Nr.wt truly says that "Bellevue
linn two, ami they are the best in the Territo
ry." It it had ataled further, that Bellevue
)ial the handsomest nit for a lnrge rity, the
best steamboat landing north f Fort Leaven
worth, on the Missouri, the best farming lands
in IU vicinity, anil ultimately destined In he
the point fit which the Davenport nml Mis
aourt and th Burlington and Missouri Unit
rondi will rrosa tha Missouri river, It would
have elated nothing but the truth.
The pronpocU lu Bellevue are brightening
avery day, strangers are flocking in from
every quarter of the globe, our hotels and
hoarding houses' nre crowded nil the time, and
emlgrante who Lave landed at Omaha And
other MALI, towns north and on!h of lliie
city, are leaving those localities liko rats for
saking a sinking ship, and are continually
pmirlng In upon ns. We heve two larpe ho
tels, which neeommodale about ISO persona ;
alto three hoarding houses, accommodating
in all over 200 pel none, yet w e want more ac
commodation!! for tbo hundreds who are daily
flockinr to this rich farming rutin! jr. Wo are
pleased to learn that a company Is now being
formed for the purpose rf building a large
commercial brick block (to cost 10,000), on
the bluir near the Urnling, with store rooms in
(he fust story, and a hotel above. In addition
to this, Mr. W. II. Cook haa purchased the
Sarpy reserve, and Intends to refit the "Sarpy
House," and make out of It a first-class hotel,
an accommodation much needed at the l.md
lnp. Several store-room buildings will also
bo put tu lmmeJiately near Uie landing. Two
large brick yards are in successful operation,
and r.u n have contracted to make two mil
lions of brick this season. Arrangements
have also been completed to have at this point
large quantities of pine lumber by the middle i
of June. Quite a large number of brick build
ings are contracted for, and the incipient
ateps taken for their construction.
We learn from Gen. L. I Bowrx, who has
returned from the East, and is one of the rom
jnissioners to locate the county seat, that the
county buildings axe to be built without taxa
tion, and to be completed by the next term of
the court in November.

handa In the last two weeks, principally tc
eastern particg who are coining here with
their families to improve the city. Col. Tims.

cash, and In company with Mr. Allan, Is now
at St. Louis for the pnrpose of purchasing a
good steam ferry boat, which will be here and
in operation by the first of June,
Our merchant will soon be ready to fur
nish every article needed as at low prices as
they can be obtained at any place this aide of
tho Mississippi river. With all these flatter
ing pror cts In view, we feel confidence la
Inviting the attention of immigrant to this lo
cality. We are not however in favor of in
vestments by non-resident kid-glove idiarprrs
and speculators, whose course of conduct has
Lad such a blightening influence in some lo
calities of this Territory. We wish to see
here as citizens the hard-fisted and enlight
ened farmers and mechanics cf Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Now-York and New-Kngland, whose
industry and economy would soon make these
beautiful prairie lands blossom as the rose,
and cause peace and plenty to abound in thia
delightful country.
ftfriiiurr Sunk.
We learn lira following particulars of the
sinking of the a! earner A. C GoiMin, from a
passenger who was on board at the time of
the disaster ;
The steamer A. C, Ooddin left RU Louis on
the 8Mb, of April, with every prospect of
mnklng a safe and speedy trip to Sioux city
and the intermedial! points on the Missouri
river. The passengers, most of whom were
bound for Nebraska ami upper Iowa, con
gratulated themselves upon their fortunate
choice of a boat, as nothing was lacking to
render them comfortable. All the arrange
ments of the boat were snug and neat nothing
pretentious, but. everything in order. The of
ficers polite, the waiters attentive, the fare
excellent and well prepared, and what ran be
ssid of few boats on the turbid waters of this
river, no more passengers than could be ac
commodated. She was lightly ladened, only
drawing three feet water, her cargo consist
ing in part of goods belonging to passengers,
who were transporting (hem (o their several
destinations.
On Sumlay afternoon and nljjht she made
good time, not meeting any obstructions until
half-past three o'clock on Monday morning,
April 27lh, when a slight shock nniiouiiced
something wrong. The boat struggled a few
minutes endeavoring to recover herself, but
vainly. She had struck the fatal snag, and
in a short time the passengers were aroused
and Informed that the boat was sinking, tho'
assured at the same time that there was no
personal danger. The usual scene of confu
sion ensued, ladies screaming and children
crying, everybody rushing to the hurrir.me
leek for ssfety. The Iriuli deck passengers
had the worst of it, for the boat went dow n so
rapidly that it immersed the lower deck in a
very short time. Irish praying, Irish swear
ing, Irish scolding, and most of all, Irish cry
ing, were an amusing part of the scene.
The boat soon settled, with about two feet
of water above the lower deck. The provi
sions were, of course, saturated and unfit to
eat, so the bill of fare for that day was crack
ers and coffee.
Hie boat was about sixty miles from St.
Louis, consequently there was no port near to
which her passengers could be taken. They
therefore remained on board until four o'clock
in the afternoon, when they were landed on
nn island close by, where everything was done
for their comfort possible under the circum
stances. The captain and clerk done oil in
their power to preserve what goods were on
the lower deck. They were partial owners,
as well as the pilot, and although their own
loss was heavy, their first care was for the
passengers.
The steamer J. II. Oglesby camo along
about midnight and took tip the passengers
who wished to go on to St. Joseph. Many of
them had lost their all except personal bag
gage, and were depressed and dispirited In
consequence, whilst others had been prndent
enough to insure.
We regret to learn that Dr. Lonosdorf,
a young physician who was removing to this
city, lost his goods which lie had the misfor
tune not to Insure. We are not Informed who
are tha owners of the boat, or what amount
of damage is sustained by this accident.

Cleveland Platudealer.
Among the telegraphic reports from Wash
ington, we notice the re-appoiutment of J. W.
Gay, Editor of the I'laindealer, Postmaster
t Cleveland, Ohio. This appointment cer
tainly reflects credit upon the Administration.
We know not whether Mr. Cbat was an ap
plicant or not, but this we do know, the pre
sent Administration at Washington aud the
peinocvary of the North-West, and we can
truthfully add, the whole Union, as far as
democracy is concerned, are under positive
and lasting obligations to Mr. Gsat for the
untiring zeal, Die loyal, patriotic and telling
ervicea he has, through the columns of the
PtAiNDEAJ fs, rendered to the great Demo'
cratic party. His paper has a very wide cir
culation in the norih-wrst, and is eagerly
ought after, we are pleased to say, by many
who formrrly took the N. Y. Tribune. The
reason of this Is, that its columns are always
full of early and reliable news, making it de
sirable for the business community, and re
plete with that kind of instructive and useful
matter which has rendered it so welcome as a
family paper. And as to ia political influ
ence,' its pre-eminent success, its thunder
toots reverberating from north to south, from
ejst to. west, with democratic truth, have
created for it a justly deserved national pop
ularity, of which we, as humble American
journalists, may well be proud.
Mr. Gray, through the columns of the
PiAiNDEAira, haa long ben the faithful and
ardent friend of the west and we venture the
remark, that no journal in the F.ast, we care
not what its circulation may be, has done as
much to advance the highrst and best inter
ests of Nebraska and northern Iowa, as the
PlAIUDKALta. '
We cannot conclude this short notice in
justice t truth, without aaying to western
men, if you want a reliable democratic paper
take the Plaindealee. If you wish to sup
port a paper which has done, and is doing
much t enhance your owti individual interest
lo the west, if you wish a paper filled with
practical information, desirable to every utili
tarian, you will give it a preference over a
journal lillej weekly wtttrtrTaw'STTiian, Mes

The Weather.
The weather for a few weeks past has
been variable, but for the most part it has
been cold and blustering. The conse
ucnco is, that vegetation is backward,
but at the present time the sun is begin
ing to impart to the earth his vivifying
rays, and the grass and flowers will soon
deck the prairies in ail their varied beauty
and tplendor.
With all tho changeable phases of co'd
and storm we have experienced this spring,
we have not suffered half nj much as our
Eastern friends. The following which
we cut from the Miners' Journal, of April
the 2oth., published at Pottsvillo Ta., will
give our friends in this Territory, some
idea what tho weather has been, and what
our friends in the old settlements at the
East have suffered :
The snow storm which set in on Sun
day evening last, ftnd continued until Tues
day, is unprecedented in this Region,
even w ithin tho recollection of that cele
brated individual, the oldest inhabitant.
The only storm that wo recollect approach
ing it i i severity, and it was somewhat
earlier in the month, was in 122. So
fur u.c visitation of the Oih int., may
be called the April snow eloriu of the
century. The ground being wet was not
in good condition to receive the lare llukes
as they fell, and many melted before they
finally ouained the mastery, and com
menced piling up.' At 11 o'clock on
Sunday night, the snow was four inches
in depth, and on Monday morning had
increased to eighteen inches on a level.
The snow which fell was exceedingly wet
and heavy. As an instance of it, we will
state that the snow which fell on the scales
act as njnts. and as an inducement offer
ed them a lot for every ten they s ld.
We nre informed that in some localities,
thore were as high as eighty lots s Id by
one Postmaster. Some of tho victims
are now in this city, who was partly in
duced to come lo this Territory for the
purpose of l.oking up and improving their
lots.
We learn from Mr. Joii.t Rickley,
direct from Columbus, that no such per
son as Gilbert lives there, but that he
had been in that city, and succeeded in
di.-posmg of a number of his lots, stating
that he resided at Cedarville, Green coun
ty, Ohio.
Now, for tho information of all con
cerned, we inform them, that no such city
as Merrimac exists, except in the prolific
imagination of this Gilbert and that
there is not a stake stuck, nor fine school-
house, warehouse or Bteain boat landing
(as he avers there is in his circular,) ny
where in the vicinity of the place he des
ignates Merrimac city to bo located it
is an unmitigated humbug, and Charles
S. Gilbert is an impostor.
We would advise our Eastern friends,
to keep a sharp look-out for these specu
lators in paper city lots for Gtlbort is
not the only one, who is engaged in such
swindling opirations.

To the Eilitors of the Pioneer and Democrat
Likstllmi:: Humors have teen in
circulat'on in this region of the Territ ry
for several days, that a band of Indians
was in the vicinity of Mankato, burning
houses and killing settlers. The post boy
has tins moment arrived from St. Peter,
and others have come in from the Blue
Earth country, and all strte there is not
the slightest foundation for these absurd
reports.
1 hope the papers of the Territory wil
hasten to correct any false impressions on
this subject, as we know if tiny get into
circulation m the East, they will have the
elfect to deter emigrants from bnngin
their families to this Territory. You may
declare with truth that there is neither
hostility or s;gu of hostility amongst the
Indian tribes in this Territory.
Yours truly, Jas. Shields,
The accounts of the murder at Spring
field, Minnesota, however, are confirmed
with the exception that but one of the
brother Wood is killed ; the other having
fled to Maukato, where he is in safety.
The Pioneer also states that ono family
named Granger, in the town of Emmett,
have been murdered.
The rumor regarding the St. Peter
volunteers having had an engagement
w ith the Indians is contradicted by another
rumor. It is said, however, there was a
fight but it was with friendly and not
hostile Indians. The truth of the matter
will come out soon.
The soldier from Ft. Snelling did not
reach Mankato till the lSth. having ta
ken seven days to march thither. Of
course they were useless when they ar
rived there.
