splendid hall of the steamer Morning Star, BY the
ladies and gentlemen who participated in the
patriotic pleasure excursion for the purpose Of
celebrating the Fourth Of July, 1857, at the
beautiful young city Of White Cloud, K. T.:

tlemanly conduct of Captain BRIERLE, Mr.. Bios

approval and thanks for the substantial comfort
and elegant accommodations we have enjoyed on
this delightful occasion.

STEAMER WATossA..We noticed a
paragraph in the Weston Argus stating
that the steamer whose name heads this
article had sunk above this. city. This
is simply a mistake. The Wstossa left
our wharf yesterday, for Council Bluffs,
from which place she returned on Sunday
last. making the quickest time down on
record. She was not quite twenty-four
hours in making the distance between the
two places, lying up all night and stop
ping at every intermediate point. Capt.
Reichenecker assures us he can make the
distance from Council Bluffs to this city
easily between sun rise and sun set, and not
pass a single intervening landing without
stopping.-IS. Joseph Gazette.

THE LoT SALEs.-The sales Of lots, on
the 4th. exceeded the most sanguine ex-
pectations, and speaks well for the esti-
nation in which White Cloud is held, as
a favorable location for an important
town. The sales are said to have been
the largest eyer made in a single day,
west of St. Louis. The sales continued
from two to three hours, and amounted to
$23,79I! Since that time, private sales
have been made, to the amount Of So, 900!
This is truly gratifying to every we'll
wisher Of White Cloud.
Another remark may be made. We
notice that it is invariably the case, when
a sale of lots comes off in this Western
country, the cry is raised, that there were
by-bidders, and that theproprietors them
selves bought the lots, at high figures, to
make the sales appear large. 1t is there
fore out of the course of nature, for White
Cloud to remain clear of the charge
Upon inquiry, we learn that several o.
the Projectors did buy lots therefore,
we presume, the sale was all sham !
But furthermore, those proprietors who
purchased lots, intend to build on them
They have also, according to the terms
of the sale. paid one-fourth Of the pur
chase money down, and given their note
for the residue The regulations of the
City Company are such, that membe
of it cannot get lot, unless he pays tn,
full price set upon it, the same as any
other person and a member of the Com
pany is not refused lot. if he sees prop
er to buy and pay for it. And if tn
town is to be built up, it may be done a
effectually by persons who are interested
as by those who are not. However, tn
improvements made between this and mex
Winter, will tell whether the sales wer'
sham or not.

CoIuMpUs, June 13.

w. II. Gibson has this day resigned
his office as Treasurer of State. The
Governor has appointed A. P. Stone, of
this city, to fill the vacancy.
A deficit Of $3.50 900 has been found
to exist in the Treasury, which deficit is
stated by Mr.. Gibson to have existed
when he came into office, and to have been
caused by the defalcation of the former
Treasurer, John G. Breslin. The Gov
ernor has appointed VIM. DennisOn, OF
this city, under the act of last winter, to
make, in conjunction with the Auditor,
or one of his clerks, full examination
into the condition of the Treasury. Not
withstsnding this deficit, the July interest

The SALE AT WHITE CLoUD.-The
sale on the 4th in the town Of White
Cloud, of which we made frequent men

Kansas. Lots sold remarkably well, and
the sale amounted in the aggregate to oven
t,esaty-tro thousand dollars. This we
confess surpassed anything we had even
eoniectured. We knew White Cloud
was prospecting and that everything there
had an upward tendency, but this sale il
more than we had counted uTon and pla-
