Hon. Augustus Hall.
With pleasure we welco-ne, as a resident
of Bellevue-, the Hon. Augustus I fall,
Chief Justice of the Territory of Nebras

Julgo has purchased tbe arm firmry
owned by D. E. Reed adjoining tins city,"

with AiWn to make the same,

alio commenced the erection of on elegant
residence thereon, which when completed,
will' have no superior in this section of the
country-5 :v" ' ; ' '.' !
We regard tho Territory ' very fortun

made ly th resignation of Jndgo Fergu
son. Jddge Hull, his more than aus-tain-

him,' as n sound and able lawyer, in the
Courts, the spring terms of 'which he has
just closed, and has given universal satis

One thing at least the people of the
Territory, have cause to rejoice over, in
connection , with the appointment of J
Sterling Morton, as Secretary of Nebras
ka, and that is, the appointee, ia a nsidtal
of;, the Territory. ' We think Morton is
rissonally. qualified to discharge the du
ties of the position, as they are of a light
nature,' being not beyond those of an or
dinary book keeper, except in case of the
absence' of, or a vacancy, occurs in the of-
fice of Governor, when tho Secretary
discharges the duties of that office. .We
are pleased to know thnt Gov. Richard
8911, intends to remain at hi post punc
tually.1 and we trust for the well being of
the Territory, that he may not be removed
by. deader otherwise during the term of
terries of the present Secretary. On the
whole, we think that a wone appointment
plight have been made, ' than this of J
Sterling Morton's.

' Pioneers of Thought.
In every age of the world, we have
had adventurers in the far off regions of
thought. ' Such hare always discovered
the new shoros of truth, penetrated far in
to the" interbr, and unfolded its beauty
When truth is thus divested of error, and
held up in an attractive form, oihsr are
eager to embrace it; soon they are in
power or reir-propagation. its power,
however, is mighty, when touched by the
ever of intelligence. Like precious
gold-sands, it has to bo searched after;
sometimes patiently and with much toil.
I has to bo separated and cleansed from
the rubbish of error, moulded, polished,
and sent ( forth for use. While g 'ing
forth; on its' tniasion, it exerts an' untold
influence upon countless millions of those
who embrace it. While then the gold of
truth has no self-demonstrating power, its
Jevelopment is attributable to tho-e""7io-
neers who are ever ready to act, and w ill
ing to wait.
Thre is a striking similarity between
the mines of California, and those of
uth. Only a few have the courage or
the pat;ence to sacrifice home with its
friends and brook the tide of prejudice
and persecution, and emfark as pioneers
into regions unknown, in ordtr to benefit
the race. The truth is, so many have
been tacrificed upon the universal alter of
superstitious prejudice and bigotry, that
timid souls quail before it. It requires a
fortitude worthy a lover ef truth, to thun
der ar athamas against such maniclcs of
mental slavery.
The pioneers of new countries receive
the gratitude of no one their hardships
and, privutious are scarcely noticed by
those that afterwards receive the fruits of
their toil. So with the pioneer of thought.
The poor bigoted laggards, who mke the
term humbug, the scape goat for their
own ignorance, sneers at ihem and pro
nounce them mad-men and fools. Thou
sands had seen the apple fall long before
Newton, but it was left for this pioneer,
to discover the great truth, that gravita
tion was the mighty baud of the universe.
This idea was far in advance of his co
temporaries, hence it drew down upon
him their contempt, and he win denouhced
as a visionary enthusiast. So of Frank
lin and Fulton. They delved into regions
unknown to those about them, and thared
the same fate. Beecher, rarker and a
;iost of others, of our own day, who are
far in advance of others, in scientific liu
manitarian and theologic truth, are de
nounced by mental pigmies, who glory in
their own ignorance, as skeptics, infidels,
and heretics. Such terms are usually the
watchwords of bigots. Men of the fu
lure, who are living in the present, may
not now be appreciated ; but ofter gener
ations will rise up to call them blessed.
It is impossible to point out any new de
velopment of truth that did not emanate

. When nioneers have discovered the
goodly fields of some new truth, it is im
possible to keep the intelligence to them
selves--froin the very nature of the case
they must propagate it. The same law
holds; good os in the discovery of anew
country. Being enriched ar.d benefited
the pioneer's heart goes out after his
friends and neighbors, to come and tharc
with him. . , ,
t The discovery of truth also makes
man bold ai ' well as strong. There is
much philosophy in that scriptural remark
'.'The righteous are bold es a lion
From the nature of the case they could
not be ! otherwise. A man who never
sees, investigates, or practices truth, but
is all enveloped in the mures of error, is
a. verv week, tiaiid, sneakish sort of a
man. - His eyes are never in the eyes of
others, but continually looking downward,
while the blush often covers his sheepish
looking face. When a man has perme
ted himself .with the sweetest orders of
mnh ' and ' thrown . its ' lovely garments
aoout him, he is an intellectual Collossus.

walks forth in the majesty of his conscious
power, while those who were previously
his superiors, are mere infants stalking
around under bis shadow. Luther was
impiy man in form, during his early
days, but having discovered that he had
mind of his own, and that he was alia

barren intellect can produce nothing, any
more than a barren soil. Fertility is es
Kential !o production. The race would
soon become extinct, tnd the scriptural
injunction, to multiply and replenish,'
nugatory, if the world was as barren phys
ically as the class to which I allude, are
mentally. Like the fabled Maidens, hav
ing been banished to a lone islands, where
there were no men, because they hited
them, run ott in one generation; so if
there were upon this planet, no thinking
active, stirrintr, live pioneers, truth would
soon be smothered, and the dark arcs
again envelop us. Moving automatons
without life or power, ought to thank these
guardians of truth for stirring up the wa
ters and keeping the atmosphere moving,
There is no other way to keep them pure
and healthy. Every new idea, every new
iuvention. every blesiini to the race
spring from active, fertile brains from
