We recently had the pleasure Of visiting
Bellevue, in this Territory, and we were
gratified at the evidence prosperity which
the improvements now in rapid progress at
that place, eVince.
No place on the Missouri river within the
limits of our Territory, possesses greater
natural advantages than Bellevue, and it is
evident from the interests that are now be-
ing centered there, that the very men who
can do most to turn these natural advantages
to good account are beginning to view them
with proper appreciation. Those most ex-
tensively interested in Bellevue at the pres
ent time, are men of means, public spirit,
ahd nterprise, and nothing in their power
will be left undone to promote the prosperity
oi their beautiful town.-NeJGrsktan.

KANSAS NEWS.

We learn from a late number of The
Herald of Freedom that military company
has been organized on the Wakarusa, near
Blantons. A large body of Free State men
are settled therea bout, and good material
in abundance is TO be had to make a good
company. They have taken measures to
arm themselves at early day.
The Hickory Point Free State men are
also on the alert; they have been subjected
to most gross outrages seme three or four
times, and have organized military COM
pany and henceforth will protect each other
from foreign invaders.
It appears by the Governors Message
that Kansas is entitled to 2,l37 muskets,
deliverable to any accessible point in the
Territory on the requisition of the Cover
nor.
The Free State Executive Comm ttee
were to meet at Lawrence on Monday to
take measures for organizing the party
throughout the entire Territory. We shall
soon learn their action by telegraph.
The Herald remarks that the tide ofPro-
Slavery emigration toward Kansas has be-
gnn to ebb, and at this time the Slave State
emigration Is larger from Kansas to Missour
than vice versa. II is notorious fact that
there is not an election district in Kansas
Territory to-day but would poll three votes
of the actual Voters in such district for Free
dom to one for Slavery.
