rode admirably. and, with the exception Of
Mrs. DR.. Tallerton, who failed to get the
first premium only because she had not re-
sided a sufficient length of time in the
county, it was hard to decide which rode
the best. The committee were severely
censured by some for their decision. but
we have no reason to believe they did not
decide according to their honest convic-
tions.

Legislature.

lie Indiana Daily Journal. of Monday
says:-1he reports received from Ohio
and Switzerland, and Owen counties,
make it certain that we have carried the
Senator in the Dictrict composed of the
first two, Mr. Robinson, and the Represen-
tative. Mr.. Gregory, of the Rising Sun
Visitor, and that we have likewise carried
the Senator, Mr. Conley. and the Reprcs-
entative. Mr.. Morton in Owen. This will
secure an opposition majority in both
branches of the Legislature, and probably
give Messrs. Bright AMI Fitch chance to
hear an expression Of the people Of Indi-
ana" which they say justified their infa-
nous fraud

More About the Gold Mines.
KANSAS Cry, Missouri.

Ocfobsr /, 1858.
n short time since, gentleman from the
gold mines arrived in this place, bringing
most doleful accounts from the diggers,
and their prospects for the winter. He
says that the company with which he went
to the mines prospected the country for
one hundred miles north and south, and
found no place where they could get gold
enough to pay even common wages. His
arrival threw damp over those destined
to the gold regions. and for some time
cooled down the excitement in this place
almost to zero. His reports concerning
the Indictment weather there. especially in
winter, the scarcity Of provisions, &c,
were well calculated to prevent emigration
this fall, If not for the future. These re-
ports, however. are again contradictcd by
later arrivals from the diggings, which
confirm previous reports, and give even
more fattcring accounts than those here
tofore published. Mr.. John Houston, one
of the pioneers of this country. and who
has for several years past been travcrsing
that region Of country. arrived in this city
a few days since, directly from the mines,
having left there on the Sd OF September
He reports new discoveries on the Platte,
some seventy or eighty miles further down
and richer than any yet found. Mr.. Ben
jamin Clemetf, whom he left behind, and
who is now expected in every day, made
during a stay in the mines Of only twelve
or fourteen days, between four hundred
and Fifty dollars and five hundred dollars
This amount he took out with his camp
tools and pan, working under many Sc
rious disadvantages. His company, when
he left, were making from twenty dollars
to one hundred dollars day to the hand
Mr.. Houston reports great excitement al
Fort Laramie, and says picks and shovel'
and other mining tools were selling a
most fabulous prices. The quartcrmastel
at that place was compelled to WITHHOLD pay
due Government hands, to prevent them
running away to the mines Specimens
were shown there, one of which weighed
twenty-three ounces. This report has re
vived the furore here again. and new com
panies are forming. and leaving every

To give our readers some idea Of the ex-

the Falcon AID Pbenix Furnaces; none
having beea shipped by the two latter, the

Brown, Donnel & Co., have shipped 296
tons of manufactured iron, and 1861 kegs.
or l7S tons Of nails, making a total of 474
tons, the market value OF which was $780,
$40.
The Falcon Furnace, c. Howard, Propri-
etor, which uses Lake Superior ore exclu-
sively, has manufactured 400 tons of the
best quality Of pig metal during the pust
month, the estimated value of which is
$4,000.
The Phoenix Furnace owned by L. Craw-
ford, has turned out during the same period,
400 tons of metal, its estimated value being
$lO,60O. 1t is noticeable fact in relation
to this Furnace, that it has run steadily for
twenty-six months; which, we are informed
by furnace men, is the longest time they
have ever known one to run without stop
