GOLD IN KANsAs.-The Secretary of the Interior
is in receipt of a communication from Gov. J. W.
Denver, dated LecomptOn, X. t., Sept II, 1858
Gov. ID. states that the reports of gold being dis
covered the Arkansas river and the heads of the
Kansas and South Fork of the Platte river are con-
tirmed by late arrivals from that region, and by
letters received from miners who are engaged
there. Among the miners are number who have
been working in the mines of California. They re-
port that the particles of gold very fine, and it
is difficult to separate them from the earthly matter;
but from thesimlarity of these mines with those first
discovered in California it is thought that aurifer
quartz rock will be found in this vicinity The
mines embrace extent of territory some 800 miles
in length. The reports from the mines have crea-
ted intense excitement throughout Kansas and
companies are everywhere forming to go thither to
work them.
From the present indications Gov. D. thinks that
not less than 1000 persons, and probably great
many more, will be in the mines next winter. Rus
sell, Majors Waddell, of Leavenworth city, are
sending out forty wagons loaded with provisions for
the miners. In view of the existence of these
mines, Gov. ID. recommends that the lands they oc-
cupy be withdrawn from pre-emption if they are
now open to settlement, and be left in the same
condition as those of the mining districts of Cali
fornia. The lands are claimed by the Utahs, Chey-
ennes, Kiowas, and Arapahoes.- Wash. Star.

MOVEMENT OF OCEAN STEAMERS
FROM WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Sunday, Sept. 26-Oificial advices
were received yesterday from Governor Denver of
Kansas, giving detailed account of the condition
of Indian matters in that Territory. He makes no
mention of intention to resign his present office,
nor has he expressed a wish to the duties of
stood, however, that should he desire to return,
Colonel Mix, the present efficient head of that bu
reau, will cheerfully vacate in his favor. When
Gov. d. first left for the West it with the un-
derstandng that he should be absent only about six
weeks; yet, at the urgent solicitation ofthe Presi-
dent and Cabinet, he consented to assume the re-
sponsibilites of the Executive office in Kansas and
try his hand where others hads lamentably failed,
BY his wisdom, irmness and prudence, he has tr-
umphed, and to-day he is perhaps the most popular
man in the Territory
Advices from Utah not very fattering, and
Mr.. Buchanan has serious apprehensions as to the
result of the policy pursued by Gov. Cumming. 1t
is understood by the Administration that the civil
officers of the Territory are divided among them
selves as to the proper course to be followed. Gov.
Cumming, with the Secretary OF State, and Forney,
the Indian Agent, favor moderate c0nciatorv
policy, while Chief Justice Eclels and the United
States Attorney wish to hold the Mormons to strict
accountability in all matters whatever. The Army
officers side with Judge Eckels, but at the request
Governor Cumming, General Johnston has enforced
the most rigid discipline, and not a soldier is per-
mitted to approach within eighteen miles of Salt
Lake City. Thus stands the dispute between the
the Federal Officers of the Gentes, while Nor
country on earth and that Utah will be the first
nation in few years. The President is not by any
means pleased with the prospect.
1t Is rumored that Gov. McNullen will not re-
turn to Washington Territory, but will be superse-
ded by new appointment.
