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

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.

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. One ryiart of salt to one bar

lately married couple, from Vermont the . parture
husband returning to his home on the
Missouri slope, with his bride. 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

T NOW have on hand, and am constantly
X making, at my Yard, a large quantity of
superior brick, which I am selling as cheap
as can be bought elsewhere in the Territory.
I am also taking contracts to put up brick
buildings of any size, at short notice. Those
in want of brick, either in large or small
quantities, will do well to eive me a call.

T00TSrB00TS!! BOOTS!!
ikllF. subscriber has just received FORTY
CASES of GENTLEMEN'S BOOTS.of
all kinds and sizes, direct from one of the best
manufacturing establishments in New Eng
land, made expressly to order and warranted.
These boots being from the same bouse as
those I received last year, is the best recom.
mendation that can be given them. The ub-
scriber defies any other firm in the Territory
to produce as good a lot of Boots, and to e
them at such low prices, 8old either by the.
case or single pair. Call and examine fo
yourselves.
