It has been often avert ed lliMl " know ledge is power," and it can not te denied, that it that power is direc ted in ft proper channel, it will prove of incalculable benefit lo mankind. See with what gigantic strides it has marched along i n its career of progress, since the landirg of Columbus, upon the shores of this Conti nent, up to the present time, until from tho broad Atlantic to the mighty Tacific, towns and cities, surpassing in intellect and mag nificence, the proudest and oldest cities of the Kastern World, hove Sprung up as if by the magic wand of the enchanter, and the wilderness has been inado to blossun as the rose. , It is much to be feared, thai there is, at the present time, a disposition in the minda of this young and newly letiled communi ty, to guard against tho encroachments of knowledge. Tho lever with which they think to move the world, is Mammon ) and in its unhallowed pursuit, hundred are hastening with eager footsteps, into tho Anothrr flower Faded. " Friend after friend departs, Who liath not lout a friend ? There is no union here of hearts, That bath not here a,n e nd."( j Death has reached out its cold, icy hand and severed from the fondest tie of earth, Sarah V., wife of the lion. S. A. Strickland of this city. This sad event oc curred late on Tuesday night, Nov. 3d, 1S37, after an illness of eight days. Tho typhoid fever, a disease fatal to so many, seated itself so indelibly upon her constitution, that it batlled every human effort. The best medical aid of this city was procured, as well as tho services of that distinguished practitioner, Dr. Peck, of Oiiilha. ' . . ' Last sptiiig the deceased united her in terest with cur fin ml Strickland of this Territory left u large circle of fi lends in Mussillon, Ohio, the place of her nativity, and mine to this city in May, with bright hopes and brilliant prospects. 15ul ulna ! the car of death wns on her track, to bear i..,.. ... 1 1 tint.-. 111. 1 it; mm r iiu 11 lutiu. 11 u uui c tnou-lit vortex of desperation.

This, however, is only un- A11 npproju iuiiou of $30,000 was made acquiring know ledge, and is thrown upon by the last Congress, for the construction of this road, whi'di commences about two miles above tho mouth of the Platte River and terminates 0110 milo above the mouth of the Running Water. Col. Sites, nnd the several gentlemen cfmncrted with tho location of this roaJ, have arrived in this city, from the upper country, ond ore as follows: Ceo. L. Sites, Superintendent ; Henry lb Smyth, Chief Engineer ; L. P. Waldo, Jr., As sistant Engineer nnd Clerk j M. Clngelt, Assistant Engineer; S. N. Rowe, Stew ard and Camp Muster ; A. Plait, Chain man ; S. Vanheusen, Chain and Axeman; CSeo.W. Hill, Flag Hearer and Teamster. Tho Rood passes up tho valley of the Missouri, on tho second bottom, at an av erage distance of tivo miles from the river. The country, for fanning purposes, along this Road, is perhaps some of the best in tho Territory. That lying in the vullies of the Aaoway, the three Rows, and tho Uazil'o and its East Branch, is de scribed as being excellent, and is rapidly settling up. The towns along the lino of the Road, are grow ing, and are in a pros perous condition. Below will bo found, a correct table of distances from tho Platte to the several 'owns on the lino of the Road, extending to the Running Water: his own resources, with no other object in view, than his own personal aggrandize mcnts. The generous impulses of hi inn j lure, becomo absorbed in tho desire for : wealth ; and ho in cold nnd recklets, of all rise, save the possession of tho almighty dollar. Now, to guard against this inor-1 bid state of ii. action, is it not our duty to produce something to counteract its de moralizing eflectfl upon society ? Wehave a number of intelligent young men, among us, whoso mental abilities, if properly cul tivated, would render them ernninciils to society. They have no place in which to devote their leisure hours, unless in a noi sy boarding house, or in tho whiskey shop, where they arc too often lured from the path of rectitude and sobriety. j We are living ia n fast age, an ago in Bultevue, 5 miles.

ClIALCtH. which geuiu 1 and improvement is devel oping itself, in a variety of forms; but in all the elements which constitute true greatnoss, we are sadly retrograding. The desire for tho acquisition of useful knowledge is fast sinking into desuetude. Two years last spring, a literary Asso ciation was organized in this city, (where there was not a place of shelter, except in a few Government log cabins, Compos ed of young men from all parts of the Union, attracted hither, by the land ma nia. Our meetings were held in I. Ben nett's house, und in the Omaha blacksmith shop. The society numbered seine twen ty member. Dr. Upjohn, was chosen President, and Win. F. Wilder, Secreta ry; and many interesting debates were bad during in existence, which lasted some three or four months. Some of the I most talented and popular newspapers in I the slates were taken, and it worked pros I perottsly, until the claims in the county, j were required to be settled upon, and iin I proved ; then their zeal for tho cause Ian j guished, a;rd the few remaining iu town beenmo dissatisfied, and it was soon found impossible to muster n corporal's guard. Major Strickland and others, endeavored to rally the forces, but it was found there was not sufficient animus left to restore its already defunct energies. Our city has now grow n to considerable size and importance, ar.d it is highly es sential that seine steps should bo taken, to place ourselves upon 0 prominent a foot ing, as our older 1 ut less favored eastern cities.

Mr. Goss has been with us several months, and is so well satisfied with the place, that ho intends to return a lid inaku his homo amorg us. This gentleman has, during his stay with us, by his sound practical and effec tive sermons, as well ns by his interesting and instructive lectures upon various top ics, won tho odmiri'tion and confidence of the entire community. In fact we are not saying too much, when we add. that by his eminent learning, marked ability, and popular manners; together with his mod est and unassuming deportment, he has urule himself a jreneral and universal fa ll! 1 Cliapinuii an Abolitionist. There is a littlo cpisodo in the "life and limes" of Chapman, that illustrious political icnegiulo and spiritualist that deserves 0 passing notice, and klionld b placed to his credit; along with other deeds equally meritorious ond praiseworthy, that raise him high in the eyea and esteem of men lost to all principle and honor, and as corrupt and polluted, a himself. That he is resolved on becoming a hero, we are convinced, and past records and present indications bears us out fully 111 this con clusion, and that it is his great aim and ambition to write his name 011 the scroll of infamy, held by the stern hand of unfor giving Mi 110 amongst the traitors and vile of earth; That he will suoeeed, wo have not a dotdit; indeed, he has been so industrious in tho exercise of his iniqui tous genius, that he might retire upon iiis ili-Kollou pluudcrwl. wealth, mid drug out a loathsome existence, and then be mark ed at 11 hili figure auiong the hoofod min ions of the internal regions. But the portion of Ins life that is iiler osting to us iiwi, does not tnko us to Uber lin, vficic iluey dye V(i in the wool, but to Wn.diinaton, where he wus a purloining clerk in the lloue of Representatives, under Gen. Cumpbeil, the Clerk of the House. This was in 1S19, we believe, when Congress was Abolition. Geiierul Cuinplwll was elected by a strong Aboli tion majority, und through Giddings and other ALolitionisfs Iroin Ohio, Chiipmuu secured a subordinate situation. L'naj mini paid his obligations and indebtedness to Giddings for hid influence, in various wuys, but more particularly, iu franking lurge quantities of abolition and duumou documents Uj Giddings' own Constituents, au I all over tho United Slates, especially the North. About this lime he became affectionate ly interested inn negro girl, a slave be longing to Mr. P. fThu names will bo give 11 in full, with some interesting unu utiaj, if desired. The friendship increas ed, nnd the renown of his kind and fos tering care brought two more negroes from the same family to his philuuthropic abode. On C. St.. just buck of the National Ho tel, known now as the " Exchange." Time wore aw ay, and the winter munlhs passed. In the tally spring, there was, us there ever is, a general dismember ment of all flouting society, and breakii g up of the hordes of office and pleasure seekers. Many of tho travelers, both from the North and the South had their ow n servants, and a? it oppeared a good tune, and as Chapman saw no improprie ty in abducting another man's property, the frail Ethiopians listened to his en treaties to em igrale to Ohio, nnd made their arrangements secretely to follow iu- instructions. They . were, however, ar rested, before they succeeded in making their1 escnpo, and very foolishly, in their innocent explanations, implicated Chap man, as their aider and abettir, and be too, was waited upon in n legal way, to answer the charge of nigger-stealing. Chapman, however, persuaded Mr. P., the owner of tho negroes, to bettle it and not prosecute tho suit, which at length he consented to do, by Chapman's paying a round tuni of "smart money," and lie left tho city in disgrace, with the name; truly, of a ii ud 'u ul jlbulUiuhiut. These are tho plain; unvarnished facts in the case, nnd the subject would warrant a more extended notice. That Chapman has represented the people of this Ten i tory at Washington, in tho cupacity of Delegate, where be is looked upon by those who know him and his contemptible life, with contempt, is humiliating indeed. That he should palm himself upon us as a democrat, u equally absurd, lie is not a the privilege of " life, liberty nnd the pur suit of happiness" and should unite in Prayer and Praiso to Him who basso far sustained us, and who controles our for tune. .
