The Seuth Platte Gold ReSion.

From the Southwest (Ao.) Democrat, Nov. IL.
The ssash Platte Gold Region.
We are pleased to lay before our readers,
this week, the following letter from the U.
S. Indian Agent, Geo. Butler, in confrma-
ton of Mr.. Coody's statements in regard to
the presence Of gold in the mountains of the
South Platte. ~. ..
Upon investigating this subject, swe find
that the section of country said to contain
gold mines, is that part Of our Territory ly-
ing between the 3Sth and seth parallel, on
the line of Kearny's route in 1916, and near
Pixies Peak of the Rocky Mountains and in
Kansas. 1t is about $50 miles west of this
point: -
TAHLrouAH, C. n, Oct. 81, '57.
EDITOR DExocRAT:-In late number of
your paper, l see q letter from R. Coody, re-
ferring to the Gold region of the South
Platte. As it may be of interest to some of
your readers to know who some of the re-
turned gold hunters are, and what they say
in reference to this country, will give you
the statement Of Mr.. Beck, a citizen of this
nation. and a worthy member of the Ma
tionsl Legislature. He is a worthy man,
and ia considered to be reliable in the strict
est sense. He was raised in the gold region
of North Georgia, and thoroughly under
stands digging for the precious metal. He
says that in the spring Of 1850, he, in COM
pany with several others, started to Califor-
MIA, and when they had reached the noun
tains, he and few others commenced pros
pecting in small tributary Of the South
Platte. One of tho company waded into the
creek, from the bottom of which, he OBJ
tanned pan full of sand, which yielded two
OF three dollars worth Of gold, with which
they returned to camp and proposed remain
ing, but being overru!ed by large portion
of their companions, who had heard such
marvellous accounts Of California, they were
obliged to yield and keep ON their way.
Mr.. Beck while in California made from
$l2 to $40 per day. Since his return from
California he has been anxious to return to
the South Platte, but has not been able to
raise q company sufficiently strong to pro-
tect them from the hostile Indiane, several
tribes Of which range in the immediate Vi
cinity. $50 -
Last spring, some white men and a SON Of
Mr.. Beck started to the South Platte. They
had got within sixty miles Of the Greek
spoken of by Mr.. Beck, camped and COM
menced prospecting. Young Beck, from .
hole six inches deep, obtained one painful OF
sand which he brought home with him, and
which now have in my Office. Il contains
white gravel, black sand and gold dust, and
il worth about fifty cents. They only re-
NAMED there part Of day, their COMPANY.
being small and Indians plenty, they deemed
Il prudent to return.
Mr.. Beck says that the country three hun
dred miles around indicates mineral re-
gioD, and . fine country to live in. There 10
considerable excitement in this nation in re-
eard to this subject.> Mr.. Beck and . large
company speak Of returning to the mines in
the spring. He says it will not b safe for
. small company to 60 there.

We find the following in the Baltimore
Sun, and have seen similar statement in
the Washington Union: ~.st4.
WASHINGTON, Ger. 22.-The President,
learning that ex-President PIERCE contem.
plates visiting Madeira for the benefit OF
his wife's health, this morning, through the
Secretary of the Navy, rendered passage
in the United States steamer Powhatan,
which is on the eve of leaving for the East
Indies, touching at Madeira"
We should like to know by what authority
the President appropriates the United States
naval vessels to the private use of General
Pierce, for the purpose of making pleasure
excursions? The Constitution places all
citizens upon an equality, and utterly inhib-
its the grant Of exclusive privileges The
very object of the trainers of thee Constitution,
in this particular, was to prevent the gradual
growth of an aristocratic privileged order;
and yet we see daily evidence of an insidious
design, on the part of the party in power, to
throw out this corner stone of the Democrat
ic party.
We shall next hear of European tours by
Tyler, Van Buren,, and Fillmore, at the pub.
