GOLD DISCOVERIES IN WESTERN KANsAs.-By Mr..
T. E. Hicks an old companion Of Col. Fremont, who
arrived in this city yesterday from Empora, Kansas
we learn important information respecting the new
ly discovered gold mines Green river in the
tern part of that Territory.
On Thursday. the 22d, at Burlingame, 100 miles
west of Kansas City, on the Santa Fee road he over
took company of seventeen eighteen men with
teams, who were returning from the gold diggings
on Green river to Leavenworth after provisions
From Mr.. Robert j. Wilson, who in command
of the train he learned that this portion of
party of over hundred-men, women and chill
dren-who started from Little Rock, Arkansas, in
May last. They had a considerable amount of gold
dust with them, which appeared to be Of pure
quality.
In answer to a question put by Mr. H. as to how
they had done, Mr.. Wilson replied that they had
no reason to complain" Their point of operation
was q small creek at the head of Green river,
which runs out of the Green Mountains, and at a
distance of about 400 miles from Fort Riley. rs
miles southwest Of Fort Brdger. At the time they
left some 400 persons were there-some from Salt
Lake. some released soldiers, and the balance from
Kansas and Nebraska.
The river beds seemed to contain the richest de-
posits The stream they were on had been very
high most of the time which impeded their success;
but now they were constructing dam SO as to
change the of the stream and expose crevces
in the bottom, which they supposed contained rich
deposits of gold.-St Louis Democrat dug. Q.

PAUL G. CAMERON. ESQ.

1t Il due to this noble and gallant defender of
Democracy that the trre causes of his late defeat
should be stated. Itiswell known that Mr. Cameron
is very wealthy, and that he is not a hackneyed
politician. Mr.. Turner, who was beaten by him two
years ago. took the field again, knowing that they
would have before different class of popula.
ton. No stone was left unturned to effect Mr. Tur-
ner's election. Whisky like water, and indeed
every thing was done that could be done to carry
the floating capital" Numberless personal issues
we're made against Mr.. G. calculated to influence
popular feeling-from his extensive wealth to his
gold spectacles. Besides this Mr. Turner advocated
the abolition of the freehold qualification for jurors
and the white poll tax, and the taxation of slaves
from birth to death. There is large number of
people in this county who never had as much as Sc
or 81 at any one time. They would receive about
this for serving on the jury during Court week,
besides having so great an honor conferred upon
them. This issue was very popular, and obtained
for Mr.. T. many votes As to the other ISSUE Mr..
Cameron contended that present State constitu-
ton formed by a compromise between the East
and the West. That the issue presented by his OPP
ponent involved in it the infringement of the plight
ed faith of the West-and that for one he would
willingly 60 down into his political grave rather than
take advantage of the power of numbers to impose
an unj lust burden on the East and to deprive them
of the guarantee of fair and equitable and honor
able compromise. He declared that the men of the
East should never blacken his reputation and heap
reproach his posterty for violating solemn pledges
fairly made. He has fallen for the East Indeed,
though defeated, it cannot be claimed a victory.
There cannot be fair doubt but that Mr. Cameron
received large majority of the rejecting and intel
ligent vote-there can be as little doub: that barbe
cues, dinners, and whiskey obtained for Mr. Turner,
at the very lowest estimate 200 votes This is made
evident by referring to the Commons vote. DR..
Jones and Mr.. Norwood are both returned by hand
some majortes over Mr.. McMannen, clever man,
who did not resort to the means used by Mr.. L.
And DR. .JOneS rms ahead If Mr. Turner % vOteS--
Norwood falls behind only 45 votes. while Mr.. IT'S
majority over Mr.. Cameron is 1876 votes.
These remarks written to set Mr.. Cameron
right, as in justice should be done. Numbers of the
good conservative Wings of the county voted for
Mr.. Cameron. Mr.. Turner has, undoubtedly, so far
as the mere election is concerned, won a victory,
almost unaided by any of the conservative por-
ton Of the community but he had ample assistance
from many who would tomorrow work as hard for
Mr.. T. had he advocated bringing every ones prop
erty together and diuide out.

The HEAT ABRoAD.-Letters from Europe and
India speak of the remarkable heat of the season.
The accounts from India reported that the intense
heat Of the country appears to have a fatal effect
upon the English troops. In the Both regiment
eighty-four deaths by appoplexy were announced.
The London theatres have been deserted on account
of the great heat and several persons reported
to have died from the same cause The drought
throughout France is excessive. The Seine is re-
ported to be nearly as low as it was in 1919. In
England the crops are reported to be very promis-
ing, except in districts where the drought has If.
fected them. In Spain the harvest is very fne.
