The .'SiIver Heels,

This splendid steamer arrived at our
Levee last Saturday, loaded with pnssen-
gers and freight for this place, and Coun-
ell Bluffs and Omaha. The passengers for
Omaha landed here and travelled by car
rage TO their town, and thus saved about
twenty hours time, as the boat did not
reach their landing till about one o'clock
on Sunday. The passengers and freight
for Council Bluffs were landed at the low
er Council Bluffs warehouse, about three
miles above our town. We were informed
by the Officers of the Steamer, that there
were about four hundred passengers
aboard, many of whom stopped at Belle
vue. The Silver Heels is large first
class boat, and her captain, Formerly the
indian agent at this place, Maj. Barrows)
is every inch a gentleman. He reports
the Bellevue landing us the lest he had
found on the Nebraska SIDE, above Fort
Leavenworih. Many of the landings have
been impaired, and some even submer-
ged, by the recent high water, but the
Bellevue landing is as good as ever and
nonn better is to be found on the Missouri
River.

Kansas and Nebraska.

We copy the following correspondence
from the Beacon" published at Aurora,
Illinois:
Mn. EDIroR: As many of our citizens
are contemplating removing to the Terri.
tories of Kansas and Nebraska this spring,
and all are anxious for correct informa-
ton in relation thereto, | have thought it
would be well to give such information as
have CLEANED during my s%ojourn there
this winter.
The climate of Nebraska is rather mil
der than northern Illinois. The prairie
is rolling, and the soil equal to any have
seen. 1t is well watered, but timber rath-
er scarce, though generally better than
Iowa. The land office for prescription
opened on the first of February, inst. A
public sale of lands is expected in June
next.
Already some very thriving towns have
sprung up, like magic, along the Missouri
river. Brownsville and Nebraska City
south of the Platte river, are very desira'
able locations. North Of the Platte is Bel
leyue, the county seat of Sarpy county
it is beautifully located, and is the gate
way of the Pacific Railroad. 1t has ad'
vantages which no other town possesse:
norih of the Platte river.
Twelve miles above Bellevue is Oma'
ha, the capitol of the Territory, which il
beautifully situated on the Bluffs, and i:
opposite and three miles from Council
Bluffs in Iowa.
Further up the river is another very
valuable location, Decatur, nearly oil th'
42d parallel of north latitude, and at thC
probable point of crossing of the Northern
Railroad.
The building Of a railroad to the Pa
eifc is a fixed fact, and when built mus
go up the Platte valley.
The Elkhorn River runs nearly nortl
and south for over one hundred miles
and emplies into the Platte about twent.
gmiles from its mouh b. The Elkhorn rive
is well timbered, with cottonwood, blacl
walnut, sugar maple, oak and hickory.
For agricultural purposes the PLATE
valley offers great inducements to thOs'
who wish to obtain good locations an
cheap lands.

commanding an American vessel in the
Mediterranean, touched at Giberaliar; was
invited to dine with Spoiiord, commander

When the dinner was over and the wine
flowed freely, the subject Of the annexa-

AN EAGLE AMONG CRANEs.-Akhbar of
Alglers, relates strange story. A number
OF cranes, some days ago aiighted on the road
from Orleansville to Tenes, where some SOL
uleIS We're at work, and presently large
eagle, sweeping down on them, attempted to
seize one; but the cranes defended and res
cued their unfortunate companion. The eagle
then tried to seize another, but all the cranes
defended themselves vigorously and regular
battle ensued. After it had ragged for some
time, two ravens arrived and took the part of
the cranes. The combat then continued with
removed fury, and there was no saving what
would have been the result, if a soldier had
not dispersed the combatants, by killing one
OF the cranes with his sword. The fury of
the conflict may be judged of from the fact
that the soldier was able to get close to the
cranes without being noticed. Although,
however, as the conflict was put to an end.
the eagle seized one of the cranes and bore il
off in triumph.

ROYAL FAIrH.-1he King of Prussia prom
lsed, or allowed the promise to be made in his
name, that he would renounee his pretensions
to Neuichatel, if the Swiss authorities would
release his agents who had attempted. with
ridiculous failure, an insurrection. His do.
sire for their release was supposed to be not
from any sympathy in their suffering. Int he
cause they had letters which would implicate
him in the affair. The Swiss who had arous-
ed in force, and with patriotism worthy of
their ancient renown, yielded to the wishes of
their friends, against their own conviction =
The prisoners, whose guilt was clear and
whose conviction was certain, were surren-
dered, and are now in safety beyond the Swiss
territory. His object gained, the royal traitor
cody repudiates his word, and refuses to yield
his pretensions to the canton.
This is the same king who promised his
people constitution, and like his predeces-
sor, has refused to fulfill his pledge. This is
