LAWRENCE, Kansas, Nov 4, 1858.
The recent news from the Kansas gold
diggings are very encouraging Mr..
Robinson, who went out TO Pixies Peak
from Pottawatomie county in May last,
about tie time the Lawrence Compay left,
has returned. Mr.. r. was thirty days 60
ing out, and twenty.eight coming in
While in the mines he had two men to
assist him. The amount he brought back
with him is valued from $4,000 to S7,.
900. The three men were employed
ab ut two months in obtaining the dust
they brought back. Mr.. r. says that
there was plenty of good grass on the
rou'e and at Cherry Creek for cattle. 1t
had not showed when he lett, but the
weather was cold' and the mines couIo
not be worked to advantage. No trouble
was experienced from the Indians
Mr.. Robinson will return in season for
the opening of Spring ...
The Marysville paper reports that, not
withstanding the lateness of the season.
trains after trains continue to Ihrong the
road, bound for the gold region Hard
| ly day passes that Wagons do not pass
on their way to the new Eldorado. The
town Of Marysville is about one hundred
an ten miles northwest Of this point, the
road to Salt Lake.
Gold has been discovered in the tri
butaries of the Medicine Bow, and is
found in nearly all of the streams which
have their sourceSin the mountains ex.
tending over vast scope Of country, at
fording plenty ofroom for hundred thou
sand miners.
Cd Caifornians represent the country
in the vicinity of Pixies Peak and Cherry
Greek as similar to Grass Valley, in Cal

The gold excitement increases, and the
opening of spring will present an emigra
ton Westward, to the new Eldorado neveI

The expense of going to Pixies Peak
is but tride, compared with that of go

The Crahtraa Case.

On Saturday last, an examination was
had before John Stephenson, Probate
Judge, with view to get the Crabtrees
to bail. The counsel for the
State, Messrs. Johnson, DUNCAN and
Roberts, raised a question as to the pow
er of the Proba'e Judge to hear evidence
in the case. The counsel for the defense,
Messrs. Hoffman & Mackley and Fuller
ton, claimed that the Probate Judge had
power in such cases, as laid down in
Swans Statute, page 1913. After hear
ing the arguments on both sides, the
Judge decided that be would hear the ev-
idence, although he had some slight
doubts upon the subject. 1t was a great
constitutional right guaranteed to the
most humble citizen Of the State, to be ad'
mitted to bail in all cases, unless in capi'
tai offenses, where the proof is evident, oil
the presumption great. The following
witnesses were then sworn anG examined
on the part of the defense; Jasper Ora
ham, Michael M'Coy,' Stephen Dixon
Isaiah Kincaid and Eli Dixon. For tho
State: Daniel Foster, Vinton M'Coy
Amos Dixon, Mrs. M'Coy, N D Shew
ard, RebecCa Spriggs and Amanda HI
ser.
After hearing the evidence, the Judg
decided to admit James Crabtree, Josep
Crabtree, Evan Crabtrao and Josep
Graham to bail, in the sum Of five hun
dred dollars each, which they gave
once, and were discharged. Alexandt
and Lewis Crabtree were remanded

Examining Court.

On Yesterday afternoon, there was an
examination before the Probate Judge,
in the case of the State Of Ohio, VS.. Jimi-
son Huston, Henry Huston, William
Huston and George Thomas, who were
charged with shooting into the dwelling
house of John McGhee, with intent TO kill
the inmates Of said house. Isaac Roberts
Esq, Prosecuting Attorney, appeared for
the State, and Messrs. DUNCAN & Keith
for the defense. Mr.. DUNCAN moved
that the defendants be discharged, as the
affidavit did not charge an intention to
kill any particular person, but the inmates
of tho house, without naming them.
After The point had been argued by
counsel, the Court held. that if courts
were to scrutinize the acts of Justices Of
the Peace in every particular, they would
become engines Of mischief; yet there are
certain essential iormalties that should
be observed in all cases. In the mittimus
10 this case, the olIense is not charged to
have been committed in Jackson county,
and it is unnecessary to look for further
defects, and the prisoners must be re-
mandcd, and can have hearing oil Hab.
cas- Corpus. The counsel for the prison,
ers then filed the proper petition for a
writ Of Habeas Corpus, which was isSu,
Cd, served and returned, and upon the
hearing of which the prisoners were dis

0TWe take the following article from
the Portsmouth, Tribune,a paper ofkuown
influence and respectability. We desire
to make no comments, only that Mr.. Me-
Farland 1.-The editor of the Tribune, is well
acquainted with the parties of whom he
speaks. Rty4
'The Luca ESmiIy.-and AN stEditOr."
One oftH Bliest little things we have
seen lately, isl notice of the Luca Fami-
ly, in the Jackson Express. 1t says:
"Madame Inca, assisted by the Luca Broth
ers. one nigger and three more niggers tried to
give, as was announced, zone of their choicest
Entertainments, at The Court House. in this
place, last Tuesday night, with Davis Mackley's
piano. Mr., Mackley is very kind to these lazy
negroes"
Now, we are no friend to lazy negroes
or lazy white men; but we can tell the
editor of the express" that if he had
been half so industrious or halt so studious
as the Luca Family, he would know bet
ter than to speak of his superiors in the
way be does. We venture the assertion,
that in an examination between the Ex-
press man and any one of the Luca Faml-
lly, the negro would be found far the SUI
perior of the Express man in natural tai
ent, in acquired information, or in man
ners.
We make some allowance for poor
lazy, ignorant negro; but lowhung, ig'
norant and abusive white man is detesta
BILE, and nexcusable. Hence, on the 9TH
er hand, when we see negro or family
of negres, by tho force of talent and per-
seyering study and industry rise above
their unfortunate normal condition, and tc
great degree break the almost impenetra'
bic bonds of prejudice existing agalns
them on the part Of the white man, we say
give them all due praise and credit Ii
point of looks, there is no comparison be
tween the Luca negroes and the Expres
man. With all the arts and assistance &
toilet, the tailor and the barber, he couIt
never expect 10 make decent, gentleman
ly looking man as the homelest of tn
Luca brothers. Those who have seen boil
parties will bear us out in this.
We have seen boys before now take tn
seeds out of pumpkin, and cut the rud
q semblance of human face in the holIoV
shell; they would then put lighted can
die inside and replace the cover. Ate
t night this figure would afford sport to tn
0 boys. The difference between the Ex
s press mans pumpkin" and the boys i
. this: The first was made hollow, the sec
: ond grew SO; one is illuminated with
d candle, and the other by a''spirit lamp

n While we can regard the boys pumPki
with sport, it only makes us melancholy
