These facts are instructive, apd hold out
strong encouragement to men OF an active aud
enterpri-ing turn Of mind. Were the idle popu-
lation that now swells the mass of pauperism
in our sea board towns to profit by them, the
latter would not be cursed with such an appal-
ling amount of misery and vice as already
threatens to reduce them to the degraded level

braska Pallad,um-a handsome looking sheet,
published ct Belleview City, Nebraska-reached
US ty mail. No more signal evidence can be
afforded Of the concurrent rapidity with which
intellectual and material progress go hand in
hand, in this country, than the appearance of
this Journal Before the Territory itself can be
said to be effectively organized, and before even
the first physical necessities of life have been
fully provided for, we find measures taken to
supply those mental cravings which constitute
the most pressing, as they are the noblest, as
pirations Of our infant communities Such
facts constitute the real secrets of the great and
predominaiing influence which this country
already exercises in the affairs Of the world.
Where. even in the humblest conditions of life,
mental cultivation is placed above all merely
sensual qualifications, nothing can arrest the
progress of people whose mission seems to be
to belle the lessons drawn from the past and
to create for man more hopeful future.
We confess that we opened the first number
of our Nebraskan contemporary with some mis-
givings as to the results of labors pursued under
such unsavorable conditions, as it must for the
present be placed under. We never were more
agreeably disappointed. In point Of style,
vigor. and correctness of diction, there are not
many papers in the Union that can pretend to
surpass it. In its business columns, too, will
be found announcements that show that the city
Of Belleview is already in such state of adj
vancement as to be in position to satisfy most
of the reasonable demands of life. There are
advertisements from almost every class of
tradesmen who minister to the warts, as we'll as
from the different varieties Of the locust tribe
such as lawyers and quacks-who fatten on
the vices and suferings of the human species.
With so much steam on, it may well be imag-
ined that this progressive young city is not be-
hind in its facilities Of water conveyance. We
copy the following from the columns of the
Palladium, as it may prove interesting to
those whose migratory propensities may be-
come infiamed by the attractiveness. Of the pic
ture we have drawn:--

BY way of specimen Of the lyrical genius
Of young Nebraska, az we'll as Of moral to
our article, We cannot more appropriately bring
onr observations to close than by transcribing
from orr contemporary the following effusion,
which was sung at the Belleview Fourth of
July celebration
Come out to the West; no longer remain
Ii the land where old Mamnon doth REIGN.
Oh come to Nebraska, the haven Of rest,
Where the and the needy shall ne'er be oppressed
Our soil it is rich, and our prairles ana wide;
The latch strings Of cabins hang always outsioe
right hearty welcome o stranger win hnd,
For the sons Of Nebraska are social and kind.
