Latest Arrivals from the Mines.
The Leavenworth Journal of the 18th in.

The Leavenworth Journal of the 10Th in
slant, says:
We learn that Mr.. Philip Peers, gentle
man who had been in the Rocky Mountains
for the last four years, has just arrived in
that city, direct from the Pixies Peak mines,
bringing with him fine specimens Of gold, OBJ
tanned in the diggings. Mr.. Peers corrobo-
rates the statements we have heretofore pub
lished, and brings with him incontestable ey.
idencc Of the s'precious metap' in that re-
gion.
The richest "diggings" yet discovered are
on the South Platte, about three miles aboy Q
Cherry Creek. The surface Of the country at
this point is rolling prairie.
The miners informed Mr.. Peers that they
were making from three to four dollars per
day. They were not, however, dev citing much
attention to mining, but we're preparing for
winter. It was the intention Of a portion OF
them to retire into the valley, some sixty miles
helnx tho mines, md remain there till spring.
They were generally very we'll provided.
Snow had fallen on the mountains before
MIR. Peers left.
Tho miners are sanguine that the mines
will pay. It is believed that they are as rich
as the California mines.
The gold in the possession Of our inform
ant Is very 6ns-twenty- two carats, No should
think, and his experience 10 the California
mines, and familiarity with tho production,
just the conclusion.
Quite large number Of emigrants were
met on the way, destined for the gold region
Mr. Peers thinks ii Is too late in the season
1 to venture there, but expresses entire conf
dence in the mines.

Hines. Of Theodore Parker.

Illness OF Theodore Parker.
A Boston correspondent of the N. Y. Even.
ing Post, writes:
The intelligence Of the illness Of Theodore
Parker will be received with sorrow through
out the country. He has occupied so large
a space in the public eye for 90 many years
and maintained it with such vigor, that no.
body seemed to anticipate that he would yield
to anything. For several weeks he has been
sick in bed, and for q much longer time has
suffered from a lingering and increasing in
disposition. Last Sunday his pulpit Was 90.
cupied by Rev. Mr.. Hjgginson, OF w Forester,
and the next it will be filed by Rev. Mr..
johnson, OF Lynn. In addition to his weekly
sermons no has divised and commenced =
course Of lectures, written multitude OF re-
view and magazine articles, and done a.
much miscellaneous work A. half dozen or
binary men. Great apprehensons are fel,
for his recovery, especially AZ be has lost
several brothers and sisters by consumption,
at about his time Of life. His peculiar sphere
Of activity could never be filed again.

pixies Peak Mines they are.
A great many contradictory accounts come
from these mines. Mr.. VIM. B. Parsons
writes a long account Of them for the St.
Louis Democrat, from which We make the
following extract. lie says ho speaks from
full personal knowledge:
No york has yet been done there--no claims
to any extent have been made--the time has
been spent in prospecting with pans---a half
day here, and half day there. No man has
found piece weighing "swenty three oun-
ces." or one ounce, or Ito my know ledge) one
pennyweight No man has made ssone hun
dred," or ssffty,' or s'twenty" dollars per
day. "To the best of my knowledge, infor-
nation and belief" no man made sixteen
dollars in one day. The men who were there
when left we're working with pans, carried
their dirt from four to seventy rods, and
made from 81 so to IS copper day.
The better way for your readers TO Judge
Of the mines, Is TO know the prospect Of the
PAM have seen ST. so in single pan
few times--40 to go cents frequently, and
hardly ever less than eight or ten cents. Gal
fornians will tell you that with three cents
to the painful they can make good wages
The Californians in our party say, that when
they get sluices arranged, they can make ev-
cry day they work SIS. There, then, you
have the whole story. Unless SONS new dig
gngs have been discovered since September
10th, you can put down all reports Of wages
higher than $40 as extravagant, and receive
them with aIeetls grain Of allowance" Ii
your readers are satisfied with any wages un-
/der that sum let them go there, and they will
make it. There is room enough for twenty
thousand mining claims. The gold is all

Lichtenstein says the African hun
tcrs avail themselves Of the circum.
stance that the lion does not spring
upon his prey till he has measured
the ground, and reached the distance
OF ten or twelve PAGES, when he lies
crouched upon tho ground, gathering
himself for the effort. The hunters,
he says, make q rule never to fire
upoa the lion till he lies down at this
short distance, 80 that they ain di.
rectly at bis head with the most per
feet certainty. He adds, that If q
person has tue misfortune to meet a
lion, bis only hope Of safety is to
stand perfectly still, even though the
animal crouches to make O spring;
that spring will not be hazsided il
the man has only nerve enough to
remain motionless as q statute, and
look steadily at the lion. The ami.
NAL hesitstes, rises slowly, retreats

him, lies down again. retreats, till
