BELLEVUE GAZETTE. rUHLIIIItD BY A. STRICKLAND tt CO., R. S. M'EWEN, EDITOR. OCLLEVUE, N. T. Tilt' IIS DAY, JUNK llTlSS?. ton nri.iosTi. to rosr.arss, GEN. LKAVITT h. BOW EN. "Itorkr llotloiu" Agnln. In our last week's Issue ws Inserted an tract from a loiter In the Eoitou Evening Transcript, which reflected pretty severely upon our sister "city Florence, mid also riatte mouth. After the extract was in press, we were Informed by a worthy clllxen that, there wan actually a rock bottom at Florence; and that It was In every othor reaped all that lt friende claimed fur it. Being a stranger In tlila Territory, and not hnvinfr had the oppor tunity to jud)(e fur ouraolf, we hive relied up on what we have read, and what other parties have (old us, and" we would do violence to our own feeling, aa well as Injustice to a highly flourishing alsler ally, If we would neglect to correct any error or misrepresentation into which we may hare Inadvertently fallen. For the past week we have taken aome In terest in making Inquiries In regard to the Jo cation and advantage which the elty of Flor nee possess, and are free to admit that in regard to beauty of location it far exceeds Omaha and Council Bluffs la not worthy to be compared in connection with It. Ai to ac tivity and enterprlan, it far exceeds any town on either aide of the Miaaonrl, north of Kan aa. Tlil la eay lnpa .good deal la admitting a good deal but when we take Into consider atlon that only one year ago there were but three or four houses scattered over the city plat, with a dozen or two of inhabitant, and that now there are two or three hundred houae ' aome of them of the very bet architectural ' Structure and from 12iX) to l.VKl inhabitant. " a regard for truth compels ua to admit what we have. Notwithstanding all this, we atill hold that Bellevue hai the moat beautiful plateau, and the best in every respect for a large city thst exlsta In the Territory. One thing, we think, can be predicted with certainty the Railroad will either crosa at Florence or at Bellevue, for it Is impracticable, If not Impossible, for even a aleam ferryboat to cross the Missouri, at all seasons of the year, from Bluff City to Omaha. We, of course, will do all we can to make ' lVllevue the point of crossing, but In the un-an time, we do not wish to quarrel about it with a sister city. It would ba hotter, a great deal, to unite and endeavor to prevent the Railroad from running against a sand-sax I The August Election. Tt will be perceived that we have thla week placed at the head of our columns, the name of our old friend and fellow-cltlen, Gen. Lf.avitt L. BowtH, ns a candidate for th office of Delegate to Congress, We Intended to have remained outside of the field a few weeks longer, but at the urgent request of sev eral Influential gentlemen in different pnrta of the Territory, as well as the almost unanimous wish of the citizens of Sarpy county, we have yielded to their Importunities at once, and will keep bis name nailed to the mast-head a a candidate, to the end of the fight, and will not withdraw It to f.tvor any candidate or clique. Gen. Bowtif la an actual resident of the Territory, and one of ita earliest settler, He erven' as a mernbe r In the House of Represen tative, two years ago, and by hi indefatiga ble Industry, done much in forming and enact in; wholesome law for the government of thla Infant Territory. Subsequently, he was elect d a member of the Council, and was by that "body chosen Us presiding officer the highest elective office In the Territory. For the ability with which he discharged the duties of the office, the unanimous approval of that body and the public Is sufficient evidence, lie has ever been true to his constituents, through 'evil and good report" and being personally acquainted throughout the Territory, havtn been connected with the same from ita organ ization to the present time, he knows, and can appreciate the wants of the actual settlers. His lull it nee as Delegate will not be exerted to confer favors upon r-AtTtcvua locations, to the detriment and disadvantage of others, hut will ms his utmost abili'y for the good of all, Mid Uie general prosperity of the Terri tory. Again, Bellevue, being the oldest point of settlement in the Territory, Ins claims to the candidate for Delegate, and should Gen. Bow er be successful, the compliment will be ap preciated by the citizen of Sarpy countv. In conclusion, we would again nay, that it is by th advice and request of the leading men throughout the Territory that we have hoisted th name of Gen. Bowew, and it is with con fidence that we leave bis claims to the office to be settled by th voter of the Territory and will be contented with their decision. Xebratka Wasou Road. Vheo In O.naha a few days ago, we had tne pleasure of an introduction to Ceo. L. Sites, Esq., of Indiana, who has been appointed to uperlnteud the construction ot the above road. Mr. Sites has the appearance of a gentleman of energy and ability a frank, opea counten ance, and a strong frame of body, indicating that he Is just the man to endure the hardships nd surtnonnt the difficulty which is incident to such an undertaking. He is now in this city, nnd will make it his head-quarters. Success to his labors. This road will commence, wt suppose, at some point near the mouth of the Platte river, and pass up along the west bank of the Mis onri river to Dakota City; thence north-weal-rly to the Rinning Water River length nearly tw;o hundred and fifty miles. This road, c6.tttViJ. will beef vast importance to tho settlement on this idr of the M'ouii j liver, and will pieaMy facilitate romnmri.-a- J t;..-.ifivin this c :.:' t S - Ci'y or Serve? Prraoiinl. V The Hon. P. C. Warni, of Now Yoik. arrived in our city on Monday last, nnd has taken rooms at tho IMlevuu House We lenrn ho intends to make some heavy investments in Nebraska, at various points, for himself and other capitalists of New York. 1 Mr. Wash has beeu long known as one of tho most prominent RailroaJ con tractors, through tho Eastern ami Western Slates. The proeel of the ultimate ter minus of ono or more ronds nt this point, las no doubt induced him to visit t,his place. He is, we nre rlf'asid to say, very much and very happily disappointed with Ne braska. IVcw Dross. The "Omnha Ye!'ra.lian" rome to us Inst week dressed out with o new head and enlarged to a wiper-royal sheet. It is n nv the largest pnper printed in the Territory, and having brother HonrarV)!, a very clever fellow, as its editor, we hnve no doubt of its success, in a pecuniary point of view. Tho facetious editor ro marks, in regard to new subscribers: "Although our nminbihty of disposition ami benevolence of character are subjects of universal commendation, we would re mind our friends that we want no names sent unless the ready money accompnnics ihetn, for our demre to do good to others will not permit us to ruin ourselves, by furnishing an excellent paper to subscri bers gratis." That is the true doctrine, brother Ito iir stop, and if all subscribers and ad vertisers would fork over the change, there would not be so ninny half-starved, poor, sickly looking newspapers. The Ladles' Fair. We take pleasure in calling attention to the advertisement in another column, of the Fair by the Ladies of Omaha city, in the Congregational ( hurch, for the pur pose of raising funds to furnish the Chu ch. This is a very lauduble and praise-w nhy enterprise, and should be patronized by all lovers of Churches, and the ladies particularly, as the ladies of Omuha, are rfbted for fine appearance, fine taste nnd we will veuture to say, give a fine Fair, and equally as good a supper. Come, young gentlemen, brush up your hats nnd boots, and get ready to go to the enter tainment provided expressly for your selves. It may be, that you will loose your hearts, but by footing up the loss and profit, you might find yourselves in the end, much the gainer. (Jo and try it. Gov. Walker in Lawrence. Tho correspondent of the Missouri Republican, writing f ro n Kansas, says that " Hubert J. Walker is acting like an opiate upon the disturbed political bowels to use n soiuewhnt unfeminine simile of Kansas. Its blood crows purer its great Democratic heart begins to pulsate strongly. We shall have no more un healihy secretions of Republican bile In fact, Kansas has done what yellow fever patients ever did had the Hack iwwiii and got over it." Cov. Walker reached Lawrence on the afternoon of the 2Gth, from Leaven worth city, nnd was introduced to the peo ple at a meeiing held the same night, in the Unitarian Church. He made but few remarks, but they cover much ground, for he most emphatically declared that he came to do his utmost to throw oil upon the troubled waters, aud bring peace, by reconciling so far as in him lay, the con flicting political elements in Kansas' He observed that he would not enter at that time into the details of his proposed political line of set ion in Kansas, but rath er perfcrrcd to refer his hearers to his Inaugural Address, which would be im mediately printed and circulated through out the Territory. He however pledged himself to eiert all his influence to have i the Constitution, when formed, submitted to every actual bone-fide citizen of Kan-' mis, for a full, fair and free vote thereon, ' .';.t . i i , i i; '! that it might either he endowed or uis-i i carded by those most interested in its provisions, as a majority f the votes should determine His speech and particularly the senti- . . . , ., nienta last o noted were received with an - piui.se. ueauiy weapons, it appears it.at she lias He was f jl'owed by Mr. Perrin, who, ' contemplat? d self-destruction for some bv the way. must be a ladies man Mr. !

Tho Commissioner of Indian Affairs tins received a highly interesting report from Mr Denniwu. agent of the Oloes. MUsourinns and ft nces. in relation to the affairs of his agency.

These very eircum- stances compel them to be t eacherous, nnd hnve led theai to commit these deeds, The settlers themselves had admitted that it was their stnrvu.g condition that drove them to it, and ruihr than retaliate, they liml submitted with the hope that govern- ment would see the necessity of placing them on a reserve. : Thc fact of the man Davis shooting the Indian, rnused .the settlers on Salt Creek, in nnd about Chester, to run in from their settlements, and to spread consternation wherever they stopped. On the other hand, the few Indians (only one lodge) inn the other way to escape the .hites. The statement of settlers that had been driven in, their cattle driven off, ml their houses ransreked, (hut without returning to their settlements to know the actual state of ofTairs,) caused great exciteirvit on the river counties, ami led to the new paper exaggeration of the facts, Mr. D 'linis n md endeavored to state facts as he found them, nnd suggested with a degree of ear since Mr. Stanton's arrival in the Tern nesiness which he hoped might attract the 1 to y of all thoe bogus indictments of attention of the department, that some steps might be taken as soon as practicable in relation to these Indians.

Kansas. The Washington Correspondent of the N. V. IlerM, holds the following langu. age in regard Gov Walker's orders: " Whatever modifications Mr. Walker niav moke in his orders on Ins way to Konsa-, or afti r his arrival there, he will ino.-t probnbly adhere to the 'following points, to wit : That the IochI legislative laws must be sustained ; that the stand- ulo.if policy of the Free-Mate party from the June election w ill avail them nothing; that the act of th majority of those who d vote will be binding upon those who do not vote j that the next tep after the adoption of n hiato ( onstitutmn, by the Convention thus elected, should be t all hazards the uhmission of such Constitu- tiou to ihe vote of iho people for their raiiiicaiion ; and that the Convention have the undoubud right, if they shall so think (it, to leave uirouch'd the question of Slavery in their State Constitution, and entirely subject to the future action of the Legislature of the Slate. We nre also inclined to think that Mr. Walker will adhere to these original land- murks of his Kansas programme : and according to our latest information from the Territory, there will be no e vil war from the promulgation of these views, and no burning nor murdering will be re- iiuired to enforce them.
