Iu assuming the publication and chair editorial, of the Gazette, it devolves upon me to make inv bow, to the rendera and patrons of the establishment. Although the Gazette will remain Dem ocratic, as heretofore, I wish it to bo rfiV Hnrtly tmtlrrstooJ, that I do not hold my self responsible for the political doctrines that may be advocated in its columns. Believing as I do, that the vitality ami usefulness of the country press, is in us local news, I shall spare no pains to make it full and reliable, in that department I shall labor for the development and general prosperity of lkllevue and Sarpy County, but in so doing, the interests of the whole Territory shall not be forgotten HENRY M. BURT. A Winter's Ride Across Iowa. It was n sunny day in June, when I left my New Englund home, for one in the far west; and after many turns and wind in&rs. I halted at the beautiful town of Beloit, Wis. It was then further decreed that 1 xhould again journey toward the st'ltinur sun, and find u home west of the turbid iu id turbulent Missouri Leaving Bloil, Saturday, Dec. 13, proceeded to Chicago, where I remained till Monday morning, and then took a seat in the cars for Iowa City, Reached Da venport that evening, but as no train had arrived from Iowa City, owing to the se vere storm of the day previous, our train was not to proceed farther till morning. After considerable delay, next morning, occasioned by the engine getting olT the track, the night previous, as the Iowa City train came iu, we finally started, drawn by two locomotives. The snow had blown on the track during the night, and our progress was slow. Before going over 10 mites ve were stuck fast in a snow drift. By considerable shoveling, and getting up more steam, we succeeded, after sundry jerking, in getting out of the drift, but only to encounter others that were quite as difficult to past through. It was sun set when we arrived at Iowa City, and I immediately engaged a seat in the mail coach for Council Bluffs, which was to de part in the morning. During the evening I was entertained by various individuals, with stories of the probabilities of en countering frequent delays, turn-overs, impudent drivers, &.c, but having commit ted myself, I determed to run the risk of brokeu limbs, and the various inconven jencies that might occur. It was 10 o'clock, A. M before the roach was ready for departure, There were seven passengers, enough far a social compaoy. Two of them were a At each station, the drivers amused lemsclvea by telling how many limes the oach would tmbtillji up-sot before reach ing the next, and as the roads were almoet impassable, the chances for such an f xhi- ition, did seem quite probable. I.nte in the evening, we were safely anded at the third station. The main part of the building was unfinished, and blanket hung over the door-way, to keep out the wind. On entering, we found a group of passengers from the west, around miserable fire, waiting for the singe to co cast. The landlord was not at noma, but a stupid Irishman and a host of dogs, iresided in their master's nWnce. Simper was ordered, and served up in io log mansion in the rear, which was not over delicate in preparation, ns one of tho passengers can testify, he having iscovered the cridle-greascr in one of ip buckwheat rnkes. While we were it Ma a . eating supper, ttto luiuiumi s tiaugnter, a maiden of sixteen summers, sat in the himney corner, pulling wrentht of smoke from a huge pipe, with all the self-posses- sion of one long skilled in the art and brautirt of tobacco amoking. In fact, she was an adept in " making rings," and I tinro no doubt that she would make a pro ficient teacher, to all those that aspiro to greainMi in Ihi yrofrssioti. Supper over, it was then decided that our party were to co no runner ma night. Then came the important epies a m a tion. what were we to do lor beds i While noses were being counted, the foresaid maiden became anxious as to the fate of the drivers she seeming to think that stage drivers were as fond of eds, ns other people We afterwards earned that she was largely hiierealtd in one oi them, wnicn accounted ior ner great anxiety. One of our number prepared himself a bed on the floor in the bar room, while the rest of us ascended a ladder into the garret of the log house. Here were six beds in close proximity, and in one corner, partitioned off with a curtain, was the bridal chamber. The wind was blowing, and the numerous cracks afforded good ventilation. I was assigned a bed with the " big man," and on taking a peep be tween the sheets, we discovered their doubtful color, and concluded the safer way would be to button up our coats and turn in," which we did. Thus passed my first night in a log house. Immediniely after breakfast, we resum- ed our seats iu the coach. Before night, a snow storm set in, and on meeting the western hack, we were compelled to change vehicles, as the driver sau it would be impossible to get our conch through the snow. The change was made in a driving storm, which had set in a short time previous ; and we were again slowly plodding our way through the drift- ing snow. We had arrived within a mile of Montezuma, when the hack became fast in a snow drift. The leaders broke loose and started off on a run, leaving the rond and going far out on the prairie, where tho driver followed them with the wheel horses, and succeeded in running them down. Purl of our company went into a farm house near by, nnd the remainder walked to town. In the evening our companions joined us at the hotel, the hack having been drawn iu with five yoke of cattle. The snow storm turned to rain, and when we left next morning, it was warm and still thawing. We had a prairie eighteen miles in extent to cross, and be fore comer 10 miles it becan to sleet, and crow colder. Coiniwr to a board Cabin 9 we stopped to warm, and then proceeded We had not gone far when the storm be came o violent that it was impossible to keep the road, and were soon at a stand still in a snow drift. Succeeding in ex tricatimr the horses, we concluded the safer way would be to leave the coach as it would be difficult to get it out, and retrace our steps to the Cabin. The lady was wrapt in blankets and robes and placed on one of the horses, with her hus band, and turning our backs to the storm we followed our track to the Cabin, that we had left a half hour previous, then lit tie thinking we should be compelled to seek a shelter in it from the raging ele menu. There beiog no shelter for the horses, the driver determined to go to the station some 8 miles farther, Three of our number volunteered to accompany him. They were all furnished with additional clothing, for the undertaking that seemed I almost an impossibility to perform, and 1 mounting the horses, they took their de- ner was a small stove, which wnt insuffi cient to warm the room. There were no chairs, eo we perched ourselves on trunks, boxes, &c, around the stove, trying to keep warm. Supper hour arriving, Johnny, a bright eyed lad, prepared us a nn-nl that would have done honor to one of longer experi ence. Composed of few dishes and simple in preparation, I never partook of one with keener relish. Supper over, we prepared for the night by cutting a - yv. , . .'II quantity of wood, suliiciein io urn un morning. There were three beds, arranged like births. The lady was to occupy one, the boys another, and the third was assigned to me. Early in the evening, I resigned the position of stoker, and climbed up to my bed, hoping to obtain a little sleep, but with tutor success, as the bed clothing Fort des Moines, about sun set, having had a cold day's ride. During the afternoon, we came upon a ot of prairie wolves, by the road side, and as they were the first I had seen, if I may except those that graced the spelling book in my juvenile d:iys, thy were something of a curiity. 1 will give an account of the remainder of the journey, at a future time. B. was sen niy, nnd the cold was now intense, which caused frequent revolutions, each one serving to let in a fresh supply of air. Our host and two of my companions, hov ered around the stove, trying to keep com fortable, but with little better success. Slowly wore away the bight, as I laid shivering with coli, and listening to the howling winds as they went sweeping by. Every blast ctused our frail habitation to creek and swny before its mighty force, sometimes seeming impossible for it to survive the storm. At length morning came, and with it a lull in the winds. On going out all was quiet, and Old Sol was just peering above the horizon, reflect ing his effulgent rays on the rrystalized snow, that covered the prairie ; and as the sky was cloudless, such a sun rise was indeed beautiful. The half burried hack was vissibie in ths distance, looming up from that broad expanse, like the hulk of a stranded vessel. " with masts and cordage gone." Our supply of wood getting short, quantity was hauled by hand, with ropes, from a distant grove. We watched with great anxiety, for the coining of the driver; but he did not arrive till afternoon. From him we learn ed the difficulties encountered while going tothe station. Blinded by the storm, they lost the road, and went several miles out of their way, but fortunately came to another that was known to the driver, and finally succeed in reaching the station nearly ex Organisation of the Democratic Party. The Nefrakian of last week, comes to us with some sensible remarks in favor of the organization of the Democratic party. We are among those who believe that the time has arrived when such an organiza tion, is not only essential in many partic ulars, but for our well being politically, is rendered more absolutely necessary. There i now no question, but that three fourths of the intelligent voters of Nebras ka, are Democratic; indeed, policy nloue in our Territorial existence, would seem too plninly to indicate the course for the fu fure certain welfare of the Territory, to be mistaken by any, who have a just and proper regard, for the host of good that has been done for the Territory, by a single enactment of Congress. And that is de pending in future upon the action of the great national Democratic party, ns well as what might reasonably be expected at home by a sound, permanent and healthy organization. How to make SouaanocT. Pick th largest and most solid heads; trim off all the loose leaven; cut them up so that yon can examine them carefully for insects, and then throw them, a few at a time, into a barrel or krout tub, and chop them down wiih a spade, (first grind and scour tho spade bright and sharp,) until the tub is full; then pound with a mall until the froth rises; then cover with a clean cloth and weight, when the brine rises on top and recedes, take the cloth off and wash off the scum; then place it bnck; repent this opera tion three times; keep it in a cool place where it will not freeze, and it will keep till May. The tub must be perfectly clean and sweet.

It seemed a little heroin for a young woman to leave home and friend to encounter the inclem ent storms of winter, during a stage ride vt 100 miles. We now began to thiuk, of our own comfort. The Cabin was a small one, 10 by 14 feet, built of rough boards, and was occupied by an elderly gentleman and two sons, who had arrived late in the au uumi from the est Jmlios. In ono cor- Husted. The hack was dug out of the snow nd returned to the Cabin. Wc then bid good bye to our worthy friend at Beach 'arm, who had so kindly taken us in nnd one all that was in his power, to make us coinfortublc. It was euu set when we arrived at the I station, and once more in coimonauie matters, we began to have a realising sense of the condition we had been in, since the beginning of the storm. For twenty-four hours we had not been com fortably warm. The following morning was cold and clear ; and soon after breakfast, were on our way. Arrived at Newton at noon, where we stopped for dinner. When we entered the hotel, not a cloud was to be seen, but on coming out we were surprised to see the ky over-shadowed with clouds. and indications of an approaching storm Here we reluctantly parted with one of our number, who had largely contributed to the sociability of the journey. His nlnce. however, was taken by another i gentleman. Before reaching the next station, 10 miles distant, a suow storm set in, but had ceased when we arrived there, and we concluded to proceed. We had not gdhe over two miles when it commenced storm ing and became so violent, as to render it impossible to keep the horses in the road With great reluctance the driver yieldec to our entreaties. As night was coming on and having just emerged from one north-wester, we were not disposed to run the risk of remaining out all night on the prairie, in a stage conch, which we most certainly would have done, had we gone farther. We had gone but a short dis tance on our return, when the coach stuck in a snow drift. Fortunately a log house was only a quarter of a mile otT, and we soon reached it. We found a comfortable fire within, which was quite acceptable after having been thoroughly chilled in the storm, and thankful were we that so good quarters had been obtained. Early in the evening we retired. Four of us found beds in the kitchen, where the snow was continually blowing in, but having plenty of bed clothing. I obtained a good night's sleep. My bed fellow, un fortunately, being a six-foot llootier, and considerable longer than the bed, had a sorry time before morning. The storm, which ass more severe than the one just encountered, ceased at day light, We took our departure about 8 midge Across the Platte. Frwn a private correspondent, we learo that oar Delegate, Judge Ferguson, had arrived m Washington. The Judge h the sympathies and best wishes of three fourths of the squotters of the Territory; and ftoin his heretofore high standing in our community, and marked and acknowl edged ability, we expect much from his hands to advance the interest of our young and fast growing Territory. We hope the Judge will spare no time or (rouble in urging upon the present Congress at the earliest moment, an appropriation to bridge the great Platte River. The government has now in gold, locked up in its Treasury vaults, many millions of dollars, which for all the good it does where it now is, might as well be lying at the bottom of the Ocean. Much of this has been taken this year from the hnrdy.enterprising pioneer of the wilds of Nebraska, for the lands which cost our government less than seven cents per acre. It is due us then, to say nothing about the fostering enre the general government ha had, ami should have over the wonts and' wishes of n y mug Territory. Every dol lar expended by the general government, in the construction of road and bridges, yields in the future, to the government di rect, ten fold, by opening up and develop ing the resources, the vast, rapidly and eagerly so ight territory of public lands. wo hundred thousand dollars appropria ted for the construction of a bridge across the Platte river, would be but the smallest moiety of Uncle Sam's ready means; while the benefits accruing to the people of the entire Territory, from such an expen diture in our midst, ax well as the certain necessity of the project, would be incalcu- able. It is uu that the Missouri river is a great nignway uauu irum ieurasHu. and is, if we are pleosed to call it so, an institution we should not like to dispense with; but it is also true that the general government is no less benefited by this great thoroughfare than Nebraskians. It brings its 'thousands of settlers that pay many more thousands of dollars for the BELLEVUE MARKET. Corrected weekly by Clakc A. Bsotius, Forwarding and Com. nirrchiats.
