The Topeka Tribune from Topeka, Kansas • 2

2 Cjc Cudm Crifautc. TOPEKA, KANSAS, May 5, 1859. College at Manhattan. We learn from Dr. Goodwin who passed through the city on his way east last Saturday, that.

the Methodists of Manhattan are erecting a' fine College at that place. It is expected that it will be ready for the reception of pupils by next winter. We are glad to witness this enterprise thus early exhibited in behalf of education but we fear that some of it will prove to have been badly directed. Such institutions should have nothing of the character which belongs to locality they ought not to be erected for effect. They must fail in the end, and in their failure bring heavy losses upon all connected with them.

And this 'leads to the further remark thatthere is great danger of too many institutions of this kind. The Methodists of Kansas have already located a College in Palmyra, and we believe the preparatory department is already in operation. How many Colleges can the Methodists of Kansas sustain? All New England has not been able to support a first class Methodist College without liberal assistance outside of the regular income of the College. Its catalogue of under-graduates never contained the names of two hundred at one time, even in its palmiest days, under the presidency of such men as Fish and Olive. The Methodists Kansas might profit by the example of the older States.

Let them build Academies and High Schools, Seminaries for both sexes, but one College or University in Kansas is quite as much as they will be able to render either prosperous or profitable. And now that we are upon this subject we wish to enter our protest against this multiplicity of Colleges either call them by the name of Seminaries or Institutes or something which shall not designate an institution of learning of the highest classTf Kansas shall be able to make one Yale or Cambridge or Dartmouth in a century, it will have done nobly. This it can never do if it divides its resources amongst a dozen places with no students or few, with no endowment, no great libraries, no eminent men in its faculty to give them name, no surroundings to endear their memory to their alumni. We need in Kansas, nay, in the whole Territory yrest of the Missouri, but one University. Where shall it be? Not money, but men, will be needed to designate the place to lay the foundation upon which they, who come after us shall must have not only a school in which all the wisdom of the ancients should be taught, but that of the modern also, aided in its communication by observatories for the astronomer, the metjerolo gist, and the electrician museums of natural history of geology.

Nor law and medicine, and theology alone should find a place in its curviculum, but agriculture and the mechanic arts 'every trade and profession that is profitable or useful to man. ouri homes. We must say for Topeka that her position for an inland city is unrivalled, surrounded as she is with the finest farming country and situated on the beautiful Kaw river, she only needs a Railroad, (which I believe she will very shortly have,) td develop the resources of her vicinity pnd take gigantic strides in the race of Western progress. We found corn cheaper at Topeka and fof a few miles this side, than at any other point on our route. This speaks well for your fanners and for the section of country.

Corn here is 50c per bushel, and we paid 75c near St. Joseph in Mo. facts and figures speak for them- selves. We also found the merchants of your place very reasonable and ac- commodsiting, so far as we had occasion to purchase of them. Our boys are very impressed with Kansas, and Topeka especially, notwithstanding their iro-Slavery proclivities.

Kansas is a flentiful country, rich soil, enterprising in inhabitants, and her progress made fei years time is truly astonishing. Old Canaan was the land of corn and wine; iut Kansas is the land of corn and swine we judge, the hog-law being in operation and, which law meets out hearty approval. Unfortunately, we have no such law in the State of Missouri. Council Grove I need not describe as I presume most Of youf readers have a iretty good knowledge of the place. A leavy emigration is pouring along on this route, perhaps equal to that on the Smoky Hill or South Platte, either.

A band of Topekaites, labeled Pikes Peak, are encamped on the eastern bank of the river, (Neosho.) We are camped on the west side, having established the rule of crossing a stream or other bad place before camping. There is not much grass here yet a train of Mexicans in from Santa Fe this evening report good grass on the Arkansas. Some small trains on this route have been robbed by the Arrappahoes and Cheyennes and turned tack. The reports from the mines are good, bad and indifferent we are going to see for ourselves. continually meet with men on our route who say they intend to start to the mines at soon as the reports become favorable which, should the mines prove ever so lucrative, can never bo the case here without very many exceptions.

So far, we have had a pleasant trip, and have enjoyed it much better than wc anticipated. The only thing we have to complain of is the astonishing proclivity of some individuals on the road, who assume to give information to the inquiring traveller, to Jib and, who, actuated by self-interest have told us falsehoods but we have learned to roll our wheels right straight along, regardless of their representations, of whatever character they might prove to be. poor Human Nature, thy frailties are indeed great We have met with men especially in St. Joseph, who would rather tell a lie on credit than the truth for cash in hand. Their mendacity there caused us to lose two days time, by telling us that the Atchison boat was not running, thereby inducing us to take the Bellemont.

But we were in a meausure compensated for this change of route by travelling through the fine Counties of Doniphan and Atchison. Evidently their wish was to put us on the Northern route, but their villainy after all proved insufficient. Peace to their consciences. We are all in good health, and better spirits bound for the Peak, ox-power permitting. Yours, most truly, WM.

A STRIPED EDITOR ON A STRIPED HORSE A QUEER STORY Late one evening, in the spring of 1857, two men rode up to my cabin in Moneka, and requested lodgings. One of them was a large coarse, red-faced man who appeared very nervous and uneasy, and went out several times to examine his horse.

Do you see anything wrong about him? he inquired of me several times. The horse is well enough, I replied give yourself no uneasiness about him. Yes; but you see, said he and this was as far as he progressed until morning, when, finding me all right on the goose, he again asked, Do you see nothing singular about that horse? Why, yes, Ire-plied, he does look rather streaked. He is a very singular beast -striped as a zebra. The fact is, said the big, coarse man, to me, the horse is pressed, (what is now called jay-hawking,) and is naturally of a light sorrel color jut we dyed him before I started, to prevent detection, and his sweating has run the dye-stuff all into streaks.

I must remedy this, or he will be recognized. The traveller referred to several gentlemen in Lawrence who are cognizant of the fact, and I will give their names, if the statement is desired, excepting the conversation, which was private. The big, coarse man was G. W. Brown, on his first trip out, seeking for the town site of Emporia.

Sympathy for Sickles. Washington, April 11. A striking demonstration of female sentiment here, took place last night, when George Sickles, father of the pris-er, was surprised by a visit at his hotel of some twenty ladies, who came in a body to express their sympathy for his son, and to say, that if he thought it would be of any advantage to him, or would give any comfort to the accused, they would freely present themselves, with many more, at the Court House. The person at the head of the deputation, was a venerable woman of some three score years, and she used the strongest expressions of commiseration for the prisoner. We demand his discharge, she said, on behalf of our sex.

Let him he convicted, and the libertine obtains new license. Let him be vindicated, and virtue acquires a new guarantee. Mr. Sickles, made a feeling acknowledgment in reply to the ladies. He said he would not take upon himself the responsibility of answering their inquiry, but he would make known to his unfortunate son, this spontaneous act of sympathy by a band of noble women; and was sure it would be most grateful to his feelings.

The senior editor of the Alton Democrat wras removed from office a year ago by Mr. Buchanan, and at once got married he has recently bought a crib, and says he would not exchange possessions with the President he has that which the President has not, and could not get if he wanted it ever so badly. A bloomer on the way to the Pikes Peak mines, with her husband, writes to the Sybil, the strong-minded womans organ at Middletown, N. that the Indians on the plains have offered to purchase her, having a fancy for Bloomers. The lady says One Indian wanted to trade for me two squaws, who could probably perform four times the physical labor that I could.

Others, not quite so timid, approached the wagon, made signs for me to jump behinc them on their ponies, but I declined the honor in the most respectful language I knew of their dialect a decided shake of the head. An" Irishman, confined in our city calaboose, hung himself, on Saturday last, by means of a rope attached to a couple of nails driven in a beam above. He had been laboring under mental ab-eration, occasioned by a too frequent use of ardent spirits. So says the Kansas City Metropolitan. MLANES VERMIFUGE.

Fleming Bros, sole Proprietors. No remedy ever invented has been so successful as the great worm medicine of Dr. M-Lane, prepared by Fleming Bros. All who have used it have been equally astonished and delighted at its wonderful energy and efficacy. To publish, all the testimonials in its favor would fill volumes; we must therefore content ourselves with a brief abstract from a few of them.

Japhet C. Allen, of Amboy, gave a dose to a child 6 years old, and it brought away 83 worms, lie soon after gave another dose to the same child, which brought away 50 more, making 133, worms in about 12 hours. Andrew Downing, of Cranhury, Venango gave bis child one tea-spoonful, and she passed 177 worms. Next morning, on repetition of the dose, she passed 113 more. Jonathan Houghman, of West Union, Park Co.

Iowa, writes that he is nnable to supply the demand, as the people in his neighborhood say, after a trial of the others, that none is equal to Dr. MTanss Vermifuge. Messrs. D. A J.

W. Colton, of Winchester, happened last Spring to get some of this Vermifuge. After selling a few bottles the demand became so great for it that their stock was soon exhausted. They state that it has produced the best effect wherever used, and is very popular among the people. Purchasers will be careful to ask for Dr.

Why is the birth of tin infant like the relief at Lucknow Because the expected succor has ddMMtjMidATIONS. For the Torres Tarnrt. Messrs. Editors: I wish to offer a suggestion or two to the Republicans bf Shawnee County, on the recent efforts made to recusitate the old Free State arty. Tthat the Free State party was Called into existence tor meet an emergency all admit that it has done its work, and done it bravely, and nobly, none can deny that the emergency which created it, has passed away, and it has filled its mission, none but those who are fed by Governriient pap, and seeking to give vital force to the Democratic party of Kansas will dare to dispute.

The first and second of these needs no proof to substantiate. To prove the third, I ask Republicans, and all candid men to read the Herald of Freedom of April 30th. That paper contains the call for the Free State convention at Big Springs on the 12th of May; it also contains seven columns of letters, and editorials on politics. In all those seven long columns there is two lines devoted to denouncing the Democratic jarty, and the remainder to abusing, villifying and slandering the Republican larty. Straws show which way the wind flows.

Can any man who has sense enough to know black from white, fail to discover what all this labor to abuse the Republican party is for if so let him ook at the past and present history of the leaders of this Free State movement. There is Fred. P. Stanton, who has always been a regular pro-slavery Democrat came to Kansas, and was proud to avow himself as such here, and still holds to the same faith. W.

Y. Roberts has said from time to time, that whenever a good opportunity would offer he would go into the Democratic party in Kansas. G. W. Smith and P.

C. Schuylers position on the Lecompton constitution (which was purely Democratic) are too well known to need and with them I might mention our old standard bearer Charles Robinson his Fitchburg letter, and affiliation with pro-slavery Democrats at Washington last winter, and the zeal recently manifested by Democratic journals to defend him, leaves no room for dodging. G. W. Brown has been fed with Government money for two years, and his position is such that none can doubt where he is.

Republicans, will you allow such men to mislead you will you allow such to draw your support and influence from the great principles of Washington and Jefferson, and give them to the destructive policy of the so-called Democratic party Will you allow such men to make cats-paws of you for the mere purpose of sending F. P. Stanton and Charles Robinson to the U. S. Senate Will you allow such men to draw you into the support of that party which has heaped every insult and oppression on you which the mind can conceive of Can they draw you into the support of that party which has made desolate your homes by murdering your fathers and brothers which violated the persons of your mothers and sisters and, which drove you from this fair territory because you loved freedom and hated oppression If you will not allow yourselves to he thus deceived and misled, keep clear from the movements of Brown, Smith, and the rest of the Cellar Kitchen clique for tis nothing more or less than an effort to deliver Kansas into the hands of the Democracy, a regular Bargain and Sale between the Pro-Slavery Democrats ant gentleman of Cellar Kitchen notoriety.

The Democrats in this vicinity make no secret of saying that in the elections that are to come off this summer and fall, they and the few who will compose the Free-State party will join hand in hand to defeat the Republicans. A few of the milk-and-water free State men, who are in distress for the needful, have gone head and soul to the Democracy, and if the proper means are" used, appointment to office a few more may go. But let them go, they never were with us in heart, and i860 will soon be here, and then they will quietly pass away. Our numbers are being augmented every day by the accession of the liberty loving, and honest thinking portion of the people of Kansas, and around our Banner which will be thrown to the breeze at Osawattomie will rally an army of thousands, who will march bn to a victory in the coming elections, which will wipe from our Territory the last vestage of the enemy of our country Democracy. Verbum sapienti.

REPUBLICAN. From our Pikes Peak Correspondent. In Camp, April 12, 1859. Council Grove, K. T.

Messrs. Editors: In conformity to iny promise I seize my pen to-night to dash you off a few lines. I We arrived this evening at' Council Grove, having left your city on Thursday last we have found the roads good, corn and the folks reasonaby clever for pay so far. Our boys are much pleased with Kansas, though they hail as I informed you, from North-western Missouri, the Land of Border Ruffians. Some of them are in extacies over thb fine soil they have seen and talk strongly of set tling in Kansas forsaking their Mis- The Sickles Murder Trial.

Since the trial of Prof. Websier for the murder of Dr. Parkman, no criminal case has attracted so much attention as the one just closed at Washington. The Hon. Daniel E.

Dickies; Member of Congress from New York shot arid instantly killed Phillip Barton Key, tj. S. District Attorney of the District of Columbia. He had the very strongest reasons for believing that Key had violated his bed. His suspicions were first aroused by an anonymous letter, and confirmed most terribly conclusively by the confession of his guilty wife.

Whilst in the bitter agony of this terrible revelation of bis wifes dishonor and the annihilation of his domestic peace, the audacious adulterer waves his wonted signal for the guilty meeting in his very presence. Without hesitation he arms himself and seeks Key upon the street, and shoots him again and again until he is sure the work is done. Key dies like a dog upon the street, on a quiet Sabbath afternoon, and Sickles goes to prison. A jury af his countrymen were called to determine the question whether in such killing Sickles committed murder. The array of counsel upon both sides was formidable but especially so for the defence.

Every effort was made by the prosecution to procure a conviction. After the testimony was concluded upon both sides the case was submitted to the jury without argument. They found him Not Guilty on the charge. No one who has watched the progress of this trial and the comments of the press throughout the Union, can have failed to notice the satisfaction with which this verdict was hailed. It settles the question for the future.

Every man who violates the bed of his neighbor or his friend deservs death at the hand of the wronged husband. He may demand the adulterers life anwhere, and at any time. He has no occasion to play the assassin and steal upon his victim unawares. He may shoot him down at noon-day, in the crowded thoroughfare, if it so be his evidence of adulterous intercourse is conclusive. This is as it should be.

There is no law to reach a case like this, and we trust that the time may never come in the United States when legal penalties shall be imposed for this crime. They would be idle mockeries. If any man is so venal that money can cure his wounded honor let him seek some other land in which to sell his wifes shame or his own dishonor. We believe that in no land is female virtue held so sacred as in ours. We have still, to some extent, the purity of manners which distinguished the Pilgrim Fathers.

But as we advance in national life it cannot be denied that vices creep in; it is a law, the operation of which we cannot hope wholly to escape. But such decisions as this, that no adulterer is worthy to live, that his life is forfeited, will do something to arrest and hold firmly in check this growing evil. For ourselves we have to say that we hope other Sickles throughout all the land will claim the forfeit of the lives of the Keys who have wronged them. Let there be a death wherever there be an adulterer, and God and the People will approve. Southern Nebraska.

We learn from Mr. Safford that the people of Southern Nebraska are moving in favor of annexation to Kansas. They see that their true interests lie in admission into the Union at the earliest possible moment. At a convention held about three weeks ago, at Brownville, the sentiment of the eutire region south of the Platte was found to be almost unanimously favorable to the change. Only a few of the hardest of hard old Democrats and the office holders were opposed to the movement.

Another convention is shortly to be holden at Nebraska City, at which time delegates will be appointed to the Wyandotte Convention. We trust that this movement of the people of Nebraska will receive the hearty co-operation of the Republican party of Kansas. We hope to see die Constitutional Convention take some fitting notice of the disposition of the citizens of Southern Nebraska. Perhaps the boundaries of our State when we shall be admitted, may be made to include all south of the Platte, now of the Territory of Nebraska. At any rate, let us signify to our Nebraska friends our sympathy and co-operation in the enterprise.

On the night of the 24th at ten oclock, the steamer St. Nicholas, Capt. McMullen, bound from St. Louis to N. exploded at St.

Francis Island end was entirely consumed. Capt.Mc-Mullen and seventy-four others-were lost or killed, and great numbers were wounded. The clerk was seriously scalded and has since died. His young and beautiful wife, to whom he had been but recently married, was killed. The New York Tribune anticipating a war in Europe, advises fanners everywhere to plant and sow persistently, for gtaipjan meat are likely to be in de mand next fall.

The Democrats Moving. On the 3d the Democrats of Shawnee County met in Mass Convention, in Topeka, for the purpose of nominating delegates to the Territorial Convention, to.be held at Tecumseh on the 10th. There were twenty Democrats, more or less, 1 present and harmony prevailed. Although, to say, some of those who acted yesterday, are not so certain that they are Democrats. There can be no doubt that the Democratic and Free State parties are acting in unison, for the purpose of electing a majority of the Delegates to the Wyandotte Constitutional Convention.

But the Republican arty is aware of these, tricksters and will use proper and honest measures to defeat the unholy alliance. The organization of the Free State party is being trumpeted for no other reason than to day into the hands of the Democracy, the leaders having sold themselves for Col. Garvey figured in the Convention of the 3d, for the purpose of annihi-ating Mr. Murphy, this being his avowed object, and not as should have been, there for the purpose of advocating those generous national principles to which that party lay claim. More for self and less for the welfare of our common country is the platform that the Democrats are organizing upon.

The Linn County Herald relates a curious case of insanity in the person of J. F. Marr, residing some two miles that place. He observed to his wife, the morning he left home, that he was going to Paris, a town six miles distant, and was absent eight or ten weeks. He traveled to St.

Louis, Terre Haute, and Louisville. At the latter place he obtained a school and tarried five weeks. He returned home a few days since. The Herald says He had heard nothing from home from the time he left, until he arrived at Kansas City. He accounts for this singular derangement in the disturbed state of affairs at the time he left, which depressed his mind, and affected his nervous system to such an extent as to create temporary aberration of mind, and the whole history of his life, during this time, is a perfect blank save as above related.

We will simply add, that Mr. Barr has always been a very exemplary man, and is highly esteemed in this community, and when he left so strangely, it was a matter of great surprise and regret. His wife had nearly given up all hopes of his return, wThen, just at that moment, the lost was found, to the great joy and consolation of all his friends. Monument for the Martyrs. On the 11th an organization was effected, at Osawatomie, the object of which is to place a monument over the graves of those who were murdered in 1856, by a band led on by Gen.

John W. Reid and the Rev. Martin White. From a communication, dated at Osawatomie, to the Leavenworth Times, we make the following extract In 1856, when the brigands of Democracy led on by Gen. John W.

Reid and the Rev. Martin White, were met and held at bay by our gallant little band of freemen, numbering twenty men in all, (some of them unarmed,) for two hours defending the town and themselves, until their ammunition gave out. When the brave legions of the peculiar institution, well armed, and numbering four hundred men, with one piece of artillery succeeded in driving our men over the river, and killing one man and wounding two, it was trumpeted all over the country as a famous victory. Two of our men were inhumanly murdered, before and after the engagement; so that our loss was in all four men, who were hurriedly buried in obscure places where they rested until today, when agreeable to previous notice, a number of our citizens met, and after digging a new grave upon a beautiful piece of land upon the battle field, generously donated by Chas. A.

Foster, for that purpose they had the coffins of the above four martyrs for freedom, exhumed and deposited in their new resting place. Their names are as follows: Frederick Brown, son of the brave ole Capt. John Brown; George Partridge, Mr. Garrison and Mr. Powers.

After the appointment of W. W. Updegraph, for chairman, and Wm. Chestnut for Secretary, the exercises were commenced with prayer by the Rev. S.

L. Adare, after which Mr. Chas. A. Foster delivered an oration, which carried the minds of his audience back to the stirring times of Democratic ruffianism when to subscribe for the N.

Y. Tribune or the Missouri Democrat, was considered felony according to the edicts of the Shawnee Border Ruffian usurpation. The Sickles Tragedy in Paris. A correspondent of the New York Times says: The Sickles tragedy is the prominent topic of discussion in the cafes of Paris. The French theory (and the correct one) is, that the guilty party in the sad affair, is the writer of the anonymous note the meddlesome informer who is presumed to be a woman, jealous of Mrs.

Sickles. Hell hath no fury like a wornkn-ECorned. A gentleman of England of large fortune worth was indignant with his daughter, an only child, for marrying against his wishes. He quarreled with her, disinherited her, ant left the whole property to his attorney and other gentlemen. His attorney Warren, author of Ten Thousant a Year, went to his co-legatees, got' ffiem' to sign their claims otter to hint, and then paid the whole 40,000 to the The land Policy of the Democratic Party.

On the 2Sth day of May, 1789, Mr. Bcott, of moved, in the first Congress under the Constitution, to establish a Land Office in the Western Territory for the sale of unappropriated lands of the Government, in small quantities to suit the circumstances of the hardy pioneers who sought amid the perils of the at that time, homes for themselves and their children. It appears that a sale had been made before this of a large body of land to a company. It was to change this policy cf putting in the hands of speculators the richest portions of the public domain, that this resolution was introduced. But the two strong arguments for its adoption were that a revenue would thus accrue to the Government and a large class of men would be settled on our territory that might else go into the territory of some foreign power and prove an annoyance to the United States.

By giving titles to the poor but industrious, who were allured by the climate and fertility of the West, it was foreseen that powerful communities, loyal to the Government, would spring up in the western wilderness whose means and arms would be ready at any moment, to sustain the new constitution. These views approved themselves to the statesmen of that day and a land office was established, and a price per acre for the wild lands in the territories, fixed upon -entirely within the means of all. Little by little the policy of Washington and Madison, of giving td the landless a portion of the public domain at the smallest possible expense has been departed from. The price has been raised which puts it beyond the reach of many, in times of monetary depression. By the foolish policy of granting bounty land warrants the public domain of the Union has ceased to afford any revenue.

Under Democratic rule, it is considered fair and just to give every man who made a Mexican campaign, or who served two weeks in the war of 1812, a deed for 160 acres of land, but nothing to the men who are willing to conquer from -the primeval forest, new territory for our institutions, to create new markets for the products of our industry, to add new wealth to our treasury and new enterprise to our resources. It is the policy of that party to squander our public lands in promises to those too idle to labor, to invent, to create, for a little military service be it never so little. The feudal baron who allotted to his follower a little homestead in return for his military services was far more enlightened. The condition of the world then hardly admitted of a different policy. We live in a country which has no external foe to dread; in an age which recognizes industry as the noblest and soundest basis of national greatness and strength.

Our fathers so recognized it. Upon the enlightened policy which they inaugurated, modern Democracy has engrafted the absurd policy of a semi-barbarous age. In this, as in all the principles which it maintains, the Republican party exhibits the wisdom and the humanity which actuate It has no old errors to maintain it goes at once back to the policy of the fathers it offers land to the industrious' who will cultivate it, not to the idle who prefer the dissipation of a camp to the virtuous enterprise which adds hamlets and cultivated fields, railroads and steamboats, cities and states to the Union. The Republican party proposes to give land to those who need it and will accept it; the Democratic party gives land to the speculator who alone gathers the rich revenues of our public domain. Men, who have left the church and the school-house, old friends and the graves of kindred, for the hardships and the deprivations of Western life, what say you to the policy of the Democratic party which robs you to enrich placemen, the idle, the vicious; to offer gratuities to men who seldom earn the bread they eat, far more seldom the wages they earn.

What say -vou to the Republican doctrine of homes for those who will accept them and im-prove them independence for the industrious If there were no other cause of complaint against the party in power, this change alone should crush it. Our public lands neither offer a revenue, nor do the landless who would gladly occupy them derive that benefit from them which the first Congress con- templated in. opening a land office for their sale. Let us restore, in this as in all other respects' vWein the Demo- era tic party has departed from it, the ancient policy of the fathers, so wise, so statesmanlike, so Citt Marshal. Mr.

April 14, 69 41m6p. Gold News. The latest news we have from the jold mines is taken from the Junction Sentinel. Two men returned to Junction City on the 28th of April. They report the route traveled by Jones Express a good one, with plenty of wood, water and grass.

The town of Denver contains about six hundred inhabitants, and two hundred houses. Considerable gold dust was in circulation at that point. People generally satisfied with their prospects. Provisions scarce and high. Whisky two bits a drink, and other necessaries in proportim.

A dutehman had been arrested, about the first of April, and tried for the murder of his brother-in-law, was found guilty, put in a cart and conveyed to a convenient tree from a limb of which he was suspended by a rope and left dangling. The day after this occurrence a citizen as whipped for horse stealing. The snow in the mountains had not commenced to melt on the ninth of April. Beef sold for 18 cents per pound. Still Later.

We have advices from the mines by Mr. J. R. Nickerson, who arrived here on the 30th iost. This gentleman has been in the mines since December last.

He came in for a dozen wagon loads of provisions, and will return to Auraria immediately. Says that miners can make from ten to fifteen dollars per day with sluices. That there are a great many lazy and worthless men in anc about the towns of Denver and Auraria who buck at monte and work alternate days. They work one day to get money to buck with the next. The number persons who worked in the mines thro the winter, he estimated at about three hundred.

When he left, there were about sixty houses in each of the towns within mentioned. Those persons in the mines, having means, had taken the win ter to prepare for work in the spring. He passed a great many persons on their way out who were without shoes and had their feet wrapped with rags.
