Gold Mines in Kansas.

The newly discovered gold mines al
Pixies Peak and vicinity, it appears from
Kansas papers are the all absorbing
matters in that Territory. Companies
are daily leaving for the mines, nor
does their seem to remain any doubt of
the reality ofthe discoveries. The Cali
fornia fever will be pretty sure to abate,
if the intelligence continues to be as ia.
vorable as during the past few weeks.
The ST. Louis Democrat of the 24th
inst has the following interesting partic-
ulars
The Wyandotte (Kansas) Gazette Of
the 18th says: esterday ten thous.
and dollars in gold dust arrived from
Pixies Peak. One man brought in
$4,000 as the result of few weeks work.
A small boy had $1,000, which he SAYS
u" he dug down and found; and the
little fellow says she can get all he
wants"
These statements are reliable. Par
ties are daily returning for winter pro-
visions. A Mr.. Jones, an old mountain
eer, expended $1,000 of the shining dust
in Independence last week, for his re-
turn outfit. Mr.. Jones is well known in
this vicinity, and being an old Califor-
MAN, his statements that the Kansas
gold mines are far ahead of those of Cali
tornia. must be believed"
Some specimens of this gold have
already reached this city. Several DAYS
ago we were shown quite handful of
the scales and dust; and yesterday Mr..
Cook, of the firm of Cook & Matthews.
of this city, exhibited to us fine speci-
men. 1t was sent to this city, by Mr..
Cooks brother. 1t is a ragged lump
worth about $40, and contains a few
Jumps of quartz.
We are On the eve of an intense gold
excitement in the West. The presence
of large quantities of the precious ma
terialin the neigbborhood of Pike SPEAK
is now conceded on all sides; and dur
ing the coming winter, thousands of ad-
venturers from the the Western States
will be pouring along the head waters
Of the Arkansas river. Already several
companies have started from this city.
BY nextspringthe rush will be immense
from all parts of the Union.-i&. Louis

LIGHT ON EDUCATION.

learned and profound writer in the Kenosha
Times of last week, volunteers to enlghten us
in several important matters. He very gracious
ly reminds us Of our treatment Of Murray"
and of our want of knowledge of the education
al systems of Spain, Portugal &c. AS to our
syntax, we confess a carelessness in some cases,
and are always willing to be corrected. Inas-
much, however, as the defender of Murray
makes blunder in the outset of his criticisms,
we conclude he has been little negligent of
Murray" and therefore had better review be-
fore turning public school master. But let that
pass-the next point is rather more important
AS to our knowledge of history, especially of the
educational systems of Spain and Portugal, we
profess but limited amount. Therefore on this
point we beg the learned writer to give us light.
According to his statement, those countries are
in condition of extreme felicity, and enioy rare
immunites from crime and immortality. OF the
high moral and intellectual elevation of Spain and
Portugal the writer remarks:
As conclusive evidence of the peoples intell;.
gnnee ,pauperism and crime are strangers in these
countries. As proof that their educational es.
oAS VI thS ShSSL OAuCII tHSiT peO-
pie are fresr from crime than any other people
Yes, crime is comparative stranger in Spain
Portugal &c When we examine the records
we ma there is more crime committed in the city
OF Lonoon In one year. than has been committed
in those countries in seven, The normal schools
OF those countries are not corrupted by appoint
ing men whose political opinions are their only
Recommendation.
Now it is extremely desirable that a svstem OF
education which can produce such happifvipo
results on the population of country, should be
generally made known and understood. 1t might
be Of incalculable benefit to Wisconsin, system
0fschOols which will rid country Of" crime and
pauperism" ought to be patronized Will no,
the learned writer, whe seems to be familiar with
matters in southern Europe, favor the public with
afull account ofSpsnish and Portuguese schools

How ALABAMA WANTS TO BUILD RAIL.

% Some of our democratic exchanges are

there was no fusion between the Republicans
and Americans during the late nominations for
State officers in New York. The true reasons
can be given in few words had there beeL
any affinity in the Republican party with Amer
canism, or Know Nothingism, there would have
been fusion. But inasmuch as there was no
affinity in this respect, there was no fusion. =
That is the whole story, and no amount of news

From the foregoing exhibit conclusions may
be drawn apparent to every one. There is q
sort of vague idea in the minds of many people
that if the valuations of property in the county
are largely increased, it necessarily must be fol.
lowed by an increase of taxation. This of course
is all erroneous. If tax of $4,000 is to be
levied in the county, it does not matter to the
tax payers, whether it is levied ON basis Of
$5,O00,000 valuation or of 5 ,00o, 900, provided
the equalization is just.
One effect of the present assessment law, has
been to bring out large amount of personal
property, which has hitherto escaped taxation
Any one by examining the assessment rolls, NAV
satisfy himself that a very large proportion Of
the personal property, which has this year been
added to the assessment, comes from the more
wealthy classes. The addition of 1851 ,874 per
sonal property to the assessment of 1858, will &c
very far to lessen the burdens of taxation on the
owners of small hemesteads. The labsrine
classes in this city. whose lots are valued from
one to five hundred dollars, will find their taxes
much less this year than last, on the same
amount levied for city, county, or state purpos-
cs. The same will be true of that class of farm.
ers, who are in limited circumstances
All property, net specially exempted by law,
should share the burthens of taxation hitherto
large amount of property, mostly belonging to
the more wealthy portion of the community, has
escaped being taxed. We know of one individ-
ual in the county whose personal property val
uation has been increased nearly fifty thousand
dollars above that of last year. The personal
property, which has been added to the assess-
ment rolls in the state the present year, will
amount to many millions of dollars. This will
relieve to a considerable extent the taxes of the
poorer and labOring classes.
The principal contemplated in the present as
Sessment law is right; it aims to tax all property
which ought to be taxed. The law has defects,
and insone of its provisions, has been differently
construed in different localities; it needs amend
ing and rendered more definite in its details.

that the corn crop in this section of country the
present season, is of superior quality. Judging
from the many loads which have been brought
into this market during the past week, it is safe
to say that in no previous year have the ears OF
corn been longer, the kernels more full and
plump, than this year.

Letter from Missouri.

The following communication is from q gen.
tleman, now resident in Missouri formerly
citizen of Kenosha county:
PHELPS Co., Mo-, Sept. Is.
Messrs. DEMONSTRATING perhaps some of
your readers in noticing that Missouri had gone
democr attic in the recent election, might suppose
that it was the fair expression of the will of the
people, thought it would be no more than Jus.
tice to the good sense and intelligence of large
majority of the people of Missouri, that the SLAM
der should be contradicted.
The so-called triumph of national democracy,
has been obtained by vile misrepresentation of
the Republican party in this state. In the first
place in many of the back counties two-thirds
of the inhabitants can neither read nor write
These people have been told that republican
is an abolitionist, and they have always been
taught that an abelitionist is kind of two-leg
ged monster, who crawls around negro houses
after night, to induce them to run away Such
thieves their bible teaches them should be stoned
to DEATH and the mob law of Missouri reads
chang him to blackjack Is it to be wonder
ed at then, that these people taught thus by the
give an almost unanimous vote for the " good
cid stauneh principles of democracy" Thes.
good people are told thSt the republican party
if once in power, would emancipate the slave
and let loose upon society set of brawling ne.
groes, to be on social equality with their wives
and daughters. Horrible thought! Or that
they would levy tax upon the landed or ether
property to pay for their own servants, when
the most of the property of many of tho wealth
lest consists of slaves This they think is an
injustice that Should not be submitted to by a
free people.
They cannot see that by elevating the dignity
OF free labor, and giving encouragement to north
ern manufacturing companies to come and settle
in their midst, towns would spring up as if by
magic, the value of their lands enhanced-that
if negro property deprecated so as to render it
expedient for the owner, either to move with, or
sell it IN the lower countries, where slave labor
is moro profitable, and have the money invested
in shape that shall develop thsi Internal resourc-
es of the state, and place Missouri on An equali-
ty with her sister states of the north. They can
not see that the large entries of land within the
past few months enhancing the value of their
farms two or three hundred per cent, has
been almost wholly caused by the recent free
labor movement of St. Louis and Jefferson City.
But perhaps when the reaction takes place after
this August election they will Iopen their eyes.
The triumph of the democratic party in the
state, not SO great as many imagine. 1t is mag
nifed great deal by the democratic organs.
But their very shrieks, show that they realize
the resources of the foe they have 10 contend
with. They know they are doomed and this is
their last shrek; for freedom though for time
crushed to earth, will, will her sister truth, rise
again. oCULus.
