The Wngon Iload, extending from Tlatte River to tho LTnu qui court, or Rurlning Water, under the superintend t.'iice of Col. Geo. L. Sites, has boon lo cated, and is in a forward state of con struction. An appropriation of $30,000 was made by the last Congress, for tho construction of this road, which Commences about two miles abovo tho mouth of the 1'lnUo River tuid terminates one mile abovo the mouth of the Running Water. Col. Sites, ami the several gentlemen connected with the locntion of this roaJ, have arrived in this city, from the upper country, and are as follows : Geo. L. Sites, Superintendent ; Henry II. Smyth, Chief Engineer; L. V. Waldo, Jr., As sistant Engineer and Clerk ; M. Clngett, Assistant Engineer; S. N. Rowe, Stew ard and Camp Master ; A. Piatt, Chain man ; S. Vanheusen, Chain and Axeman; Gco.W. Hill, Flag Hearer and Teamster. Tho Road pussies up the valley of ihe Missouri, on tho second bottom, at hn av erage distance of fivo miles from iho river. Tho country, for farming purposes, along this Road, is perhaps some of the best in tho Territory. That lying in tho vullies of the Aaoway, the three Hows, and the Hazillo and in East Branch, is de scribed as being excellent, and is rapidly settling up. The towns along the lino of the Road, are growing, aud are in a pros perous condition.

A larger por tion of the Bridges, are between the Tlatte and Dakota City, to which point the Road will be completed this fall. In some places the road will not be graded as it should be, in consequence of the insufficiency of the appropriation. But it is Loped that Congress, will at its next session, make a further appropria tion, for the full completion of this Road. The Secretary of the Interior has direct ed the Bridges to be first constructed, and if mora money is not appropriated for grading, the pfiople cf the Territory, will havo to do it at their own expense. We aro indebted to Mr. Smyth, Chief Eugiueer, for the above fact. For tilt Bellevue Osteite. Ma. nniTon. It has been often assort ed that ' knowledge is power," and it can not be denied, that il that power it direc ted in n proper tlianite), it will prove of incalculable benefit to mankind. See with what gigantic strides it has marched along 1 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 Irond Atlantic to the mighty Pacific, towns and cities, surpassing in iutitllect and mag nificence, the proudest and oldest cities of by the mngic wand of the enchanter, and the wilderness has been made to blossi m ns the rose. . . ', It is much to be feared, that there is, at the present time, a disposition in the mind of this young and newly retiled coinmuui- ly, to guard against tho encroachments of i knowledge. The lever with which they think to move the world, is Mammon ; and in its unhallowed pur.-uit, hundred are! hastening with eager footsteps, into the j vortex of desperation. See the young man, who his left tho home of his youth, j in the East, to embark his fortune in the far olf West. He has debared himself ' from tho facilities which ho once had of acquiring knowledge, and is thrown upon his own resources, with no other object in view, than his own personal aggrandize ments. The generous impulses of hi na ture, becoma absorbed in tho desire for wealth ; und ho is cold and reckless, of nil else, save the possession of tho oluiighiy dollar. Now, to guard agninst this mor-' bid state of inaction, is it not our duty to produce something to counteract its tie moralizing effects upon society? Wehave a number of intelligent young men, among us, w hoso mental abilities, if properly cul tivated, would render ilicm urnninciits to society. They have no place in which to devote their leisure hours, unless in a noi sy boarding house, or in iho whiskey shop, where they are too often lured from the path of rectitude and sobriety. We are living in a fut age, un ago in which geniui and improvement is devel oping itself, in a variety of forms; but in all "the elements which constitute true greatness, we are sadly retrograding. The desire for tho acquisition of useful knowledge is fast f-iuking 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 some twen ty members. Dr. Upjohn, was chosen President, and Win. F. Wilder, Secreta ry ; and many interesting delates were had during its existence, which lasted some three or four months. Some of the most taletited and popular newspapers in the states were taken, and it worked pros perously, until (he claims in the county, were required to bo settled upon, and im proved; then their zeal f.irihn causo lan guished, a;td the few remaining in town beenmo dissatisfied, and il was soon found impossible to muster a 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 uilonct rne-rgic. Our eh v has now grown to considerable size and importance, and it is highly es- i sentialthat some steps should bo taken, to j place ourselves upon a i prominent a foot-1 ing, as our older I ut less favored eastern cities. If our citizens would meet togeih-1 cr, and raise a fund il.nl would enable us to build a commodious hall, which could be tif-ed for lectures, rending room, and dt-ba-1 ting, where ail, who take nn interest in this matter could unite, larliel-jisnnd mar- ried, without tny exclusivenss, then it! would add a bright psge, in the history of T . . ... . , If il is iinjiesMlle m thes-?

A. gtrfoldnnd 0f (j lis city. This sad event oc curred late on Tuesday night, Nov. 3d, 1S57, after on illness of eight days. The typhoid fever, a disease fatal to so many, seated itself so indelibly upon her constitution, that it baffled every human effort. Tho best medical aid of this city was procured, os well as the services of that distinguished practitioner, l)r. Peck, of Omaha. ' ' Lut &piiiig the deceased united her in terest with our fneud Strickland of tliis Territory left a large circle of f i iends in Mus-illon, Ohio, the place of her nativity, and mine to this city in May, with bright hopes And brilliant pro:-pt;cts. But ulas ! the car of death was on her track, to bear her to tlmt nirit land. Wo little thought a few weeks since, that we should have, so soon, to record the demise of one so valued, that tho silken cord that bound her to that kindred heart would t-o fcoon bo severed. This, however, is only an other evidence, that there is but a step be tween us and death. But although separated from loved ones on catr.i, yet like one of old, shu is not dexrt, but sleepeth j and on the morning of the 'resurrection, will " Open Iht fj'M In syvret surprise, And in her Saviour's imae rise.'' I!r soul, separated from its clay cas ket, has soared to regions higher and ho lier, to nn atmosphere serener and purer, to yonder sun bright clime ; there to plume her pinions pure, in heaven's uncreated light. To'mingle with the, seraphs bright, Anil join that goodly throng, Who range, the field of endless light, And chant the heavenly song : Itul while the lark so:;r3 o'er hrr tnm', Her spirit lives, in heaven hrr home. That Angel form, like roses fair, Was withered In her Moom ; No more her voice salutes the ear, 'Tis hushed beneath the tomb. And w hile her friends in sadness mourn, Her spirit lives, in heaven her home. Her soul is wafted far away, From all the scenes of earth : Nor could we wish her here to s'ny, From such enduring worth. While the cypress shades her tomb, Her spirit lives, in heaven her home. Friend Strickland, wipe away your tears, Nor mourn her absence here ; For hopo dispels the gloomy fears, Of friends and kindred dear. And while the winds howl o'er her tomb, Her spirit lives, in heaven her home. Though iu affliction furnace tried, Yet seek for holier ties, Where anjnish ne'er afllict the breast, And friendship never dies. For while you linger by her tomb, Her spirit lives, in heaven her home, ClIAt'CtB. Rev. C. Chaucer Gosb. This genlle man left l y the steamer Florilda for Wash ington, I). C. Mr. Goss ha3 been with us several months, and is so well satisfied with the place, that he intends to return at.d make his homo amorg us. This gentleman has, during his stay with us, by his sound practical and effec tive sermons, as well ns by Ins interesting and instructive lectures upon various top ics, won the admiration and confidence of tho entire community. In fact we are not saying too much, when we odd. that by his eminent learning, marked ability, and popular manners; together with his mod est and unassuming deportment, he has i made himself a eeneral and universal fa ! vori'.e w ith all classes. His powerful and ever ready pen, has rendered us much ' aid, by his correspondence with this pa per, for the last three months. Wo tm- dcrstaiid that Mr. Cos' object, in his jour- ; ncy, among oilier tilings, is to deliver a series of Let lines upon Nebraska, rs re- , . . sources, a.uamagcs, nnu prospect, ni . , . . , . , - , ashinston, Baltimore. nuJ a few other ciiies of iho East. lie has nearly ready for the press, a work ujhju " Btllevue at.d the Great Platte Valley," and another in piepera tion upon "Nebraska, its History, Re sources and Advantages," which are soon to be published. From extracts that we have had the pleas ire of reading, these works, wo should judge, will be as instruc tive and interesting, as they arc truthful. .In his temporary absence, we bespeak for j him that 8ucces, that his Morliug worth and real merit so richly deserves.

Clinpmaii au Abolitionist. There ii a little episodo in the "life and times" of Chapman, thnt illustrious political lenegado and spiritualist that deserves a passing notice, and should be placed to his credit,' along with other deeds equally meritorious and praiseworthy, that raise him high in the eyes and esteem of men lost to ad 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 in this con clusion, and that it is his great aim and ambition to write his name on the scroll of infamy, field by the stern hand of unfor giving Minos, amongst the traitors and vile of earth. That he will suoceed, wo have not a doiibt ; indeed, he has been so industrious in tho exercise of his iniqui tous genius, that he might retire upon his ili-guiicu pluiidci'cd wealth, uud drag out a loathsome existence, and then be mark ed at n high' figure nuiong the hoofod min ions of the inferlirtl regions. But the portion if his hie that is ii ter es! ing to us iiovt, dous not take us to Uber lin, vicic liny dye 'em in the wool, bul to Washington, whore lie wus a purloining cleik in tho Huiise of Representatives, nniler Gen. Cumpbeil, the Clerk of the House. This was in 1S19, wo believe, w hen Congress was Abolition. Geiierul C'ainpboll was elected by a strong Aboli tion majority, uud through Giddings aud other Abolitionisfs from Ohio, Chapman secured a subordinate situation. Cnap man paid his obligations and indebtedness to Giddings for hi:i influence, in various ways, but more particularly, iu . franking lurge quantities of abolition und ihauniou document t-j Giddings' own constituents, und all over thu United Suites, especially the North. About this time he became tifl'ectionate ly interested in n negro girl, a slave be longing to Mr. P. f'fho names will be given in full, with some interesting unu utiai, if desired. The friendship increas ed, und the renown of his kind and fos tering care brought two more negroes from the same family to Ins philanthropic abode. I On C. St.. just back of the National Ho tel, known now us the " Exchange." 1 line wore away, aud the winter months passed. In Hie early spring, there was, as there ever is, a general dismember- ment of all floating society, and breakit g up of the homes of oliice and pleasure seekers. Many of the travelers, both from the North and the South had their own servants, and as it appeared a good time, and us Chapman saw no improprie ty in ubducting another man s property, the fruil Ethiopians listened to his en treaties to em igrafe to Ohio, and made their arrangements secretely to follow iu iustruciions. They, were, however, ar rested, before they succeeded in making their" escape, and very foolishly, in their lnnocctil explanations, implicated Chap man, us their aider and abetur, aud he too, was waited upon in n legal way, to answer the charge of nigger-stealing. Chapman, however, persuaded Mr. P., the owner of the negroes, to settle il and not prosecute the suit, which at leneth he consented to do, by Chapman's paying a round turn of " smart money, and he left tho city in disgrace, with the name; truly, of a jiruclii ul jIMUionisl. 1 liese are the pk in; unvarnished facts in the case, and the subject would warrant a more extended notice. That Chapman has represented the people of this Terri tory at Washington, in tho capacity of Delegfte, where he is looked upon by thoso who know him and his contemptible life, with contempt, is humiliating indeed. That he should p aim himself upon us as a democrat, is equally absurd, lie is not a democrat, lie never has been one, un I we can prove it. He is not even a Black Republican; but an Abolitionist, and those Democrat that have and do uphold hiin because they believed his insincere pro testations, und deceived, and do not know him. When party lines are drawn in this Ter ritory, and tho nomination.) of the Demo cratic party are made by honest Conven tions, it will be seen where h stands. And now bear in mind what wo say ; when that day arrives, Chapman if wo aro compelled to tolerate him so long will be found in the ranks of any and whatever opposition there is to the Democracy. That he received his paltry situation un- d?r Gen. Campbedl, through the influence of Al'olitioi)it.s (and they would not be very npt to uld a Dcinociat) that upon ihe death of Gen. Campbell, and the election of Judge Young to tho Clerkship of the Hoik-e, he was removed although Giddings Co. urged hij retention, all know that know anything of hi past history. Put this is not the finale of hi Aboli tionism, by any means. Wo have waited i. Mil ive could pn cure the i cis,and now wo have them, the public shal( have flu benefit tf CiKun. Omtth U "fi'mrs.'

Tho propriety and religious duty of the observance of such a day, 1n each year, have been recognized by nearly every State in the Union.
