WHITR.cLnun.

This place is situated on the West
bank cfthe Missouri River, in the North
Eastern part of Kansas, some three or
four miles from the Nebraska line, 6i5
miles from st. Louis. by the River, and
about sixty miles above st. Joseph. 1t
is named after White Cloud, the celebra-
ted Chief Of the lowe who formerly
resided in this neighbofnood, AND upon
the lands of which tribe. the town is
located. So favorable location is rare
y met with on the Missouri River, whose
channel is constantly changing, and to-day
rendering dismal looking sand-bsr, what
yesterday was good landing. In this
respect, White Cloud is exceedingly we'll
situated-the landing being permanent,
a great part of it rock. and perfectly
accessible by boats Of the largest size, at
all seasons Of the year when the River is
open, and at any stage of water. The
landing is not confined to narrow limits,
but is the same for least q mile. The
ground rises gradually from the River.
until it opens into one of the most beau
tiful prsiries in the world, stretching for
miles Westyardly, and embracing soil
unsurpassed for richness by any on the
globe.
One Of the greatest advantages pos
sessed by White Cloud, is its favorable
situation with reference to the back ceun-
try. II lies some four miles farther West
than any other River town in the Terri
tory. and is worry easy of access. This
beck country viii undoubtedly be as
densely populated as any other portion
of the West, and the position of White
Cloud cannot fail to draw all the trade
of this vast region, which will be i'm
mense. Here will be their shipping
point. and here will their surplus pro-
duce come, to find market.
All who visit this place, are delighted
with its beautiful and advantageous site.
The land is yet the property of the In
dams, but the sales commence this week,
and there is no doubt that good and
perfect title win be obtained. After that,
the work will go ahead in earnest. The
Town Company is composed Of men of
wealth, influence and energy, who will
spare no effort to advance the prosperity
of the town. We are assured that the
same course will not be pursued, as in
numerous other Western towns-thev
will not run up the price Of lots beyond
a poor mans means to purchase. They
wish to encourage the settlement of me-
chanics of every kind-indeed, they are
already badly needed. The sooner such
persons come here, the better it will be
for them. as the price of property must
necessarily be constantly on the rise
Added to the other advantagss7of the
place, and the greatest of them all. is the
exceeding healtnfulness of tire location.
Sickness is rare here now, and is nearly
the same throughout the season. One
needs but to see White Cloud, TO be seiz-
ed with longing to live here.

STRANGE, But TRUE.-We have it from
undOubted authority. that there is man
living not far from here, who does not
own single town share in the Territory,
and consequently has no interest in the
place which is bound to make the most
important town on the Missouri River

A Coon SIGS.-It is said to be a good
sign of prosperity, when one has Jealous
neighbors. If so. White Cloud must be
on the broad road to prosperity-indeed,
we think there is entirely too much jeal-
ousy exhibited in some quarters. There
are people who will not admit that they
know Of such place as White Cloud,
and are yet in a constant stew, least the
town should grow faster than they like.
We met such folks on the boat, during
our journey to this Territory. We in
quired about White Cloud, but they knew
nothing of such place. We told them
that there must surely be such place, as
we had correspondents there, and were on
our way there, to go into business. Then
they suddenly recollected that there was
a place called as White Cloud, in the up
per part Of the Territory-they believed
they had been within three miles of it
once but it was going to nothing--there
were three or four new towns starting on
the river, and most of the people were
leaving White Cloud, and going to said
new towns. Our friends concluded by
advising rs to stop in their town but we
concluded to come and see for ourselves
Reader, go thou and do likewise.

CIrrEs.-Strangers have no idea how
thickly settled Kansas already is. TIL:
towns are spread over her surface as
thickly as Aeas on a dogs back. We
said towns-we meant to say cities fol-
we have nothing but cities out here-and
the proprietors are bound to let people
know it, too; for they stick city to the
name of every town. We venture to say.
there is scarcely store or tavern in the
Union, in which there is not posted in a
conspicuous place, Town Plats of some
large city in Kansas or Nebraska, ma
jority of which do not contain a single
house Travellers out here are not aware,
unless they are told, that they are passing
through cities every few miles of their
journey-such SIS Tadpole City, Prairie
City, opossum City. ct cetera. Each
one, of course, is bound to make the most
important place in the West!

pears that the late publishers could not
make it pay. The following is their Val
edictory, in which, it will be seen, they
are rather severe upon the South /:
vALEprcroRY.-The Office of the SquatteI
Sovereign has passed into the hands of other
publishers. In making this transfer, we expert
ence no inconsiderable degree of reluctance, but
we arc thoroughly convinced that it is the only
step that we could take to save ourselves from
great pecuniary sacrifice. This we would be una
bic to do, to sustain and publish paper. We have
repeatedly called upon the South for aid, and
our response has beep nonsyless~ one. We
were at last reduced y one OF two alternatives
to surrender upon advantageous terms, or to be
carried by storm, and our arms and equipments
become the properties of war. We have chosen
the former, believing that no just reason existed
why we should longer expose ourselves as an
emaciated specimen of the ingratitude Of the
South.
