Pike,S Peak.

The Kansas papers are full of the ac-
counts Of gold seeking parties rushing to
the new land of gold on the Eastern slope
of the Rocky Mountains. The Kansas City
Journal says that traders have for years
believed in the existence of gold in the head
streams of the Arkansas and South Platte.
That paper says:
AS long ago as 1885, Eustache Carrie,
a French trapper now living, superanuated,
with the Chouteau family in this city, was
lost from his party in that region, and
wandered for several weeks through the
country, during which time he collected in
his shot pouch numerous specimens, which
be carried with him to New Mexico. They
proved to be gold, and party WAS there
formed and returned with Mr.. Carriere to
search for the locality. He was unable to
find the streams where he had collected
his specimens, and was tied up and whip
ped BY the Mexicans, under the suppostion
that be did not wish TO disclose their loca-
ton. This was the fist discovery which
we have been able to learn. The Catholic
missionaries have frequently found speci-
mems in possession of the Kansas Indians
and Others, who annually visit the country
for hunting.
The Indians have known of this gold, but
kept the secret, fearing that the whites
would drive them from their favorite hun
ting grounds. The last discovery, of this
gold was made last spring, aud aparty hear
ing of it fitted out from Lawrence, Kansas
and company from Missouri and their ex-
plorations have revealed the secret and
blown it to tho world. The Leavenworth
Times says:
Pixies Peak is about twenty five miles
south of the 39th parallel of Latitude
The country prospected embraces about
seventy miles north and south amongst the
tributaries and head quarters of the Platte
and Arkansas. The winters are cool-snow
abundant-plenty of game. Trains heavily
laden, generally 60 from Leavenworth 10
Pixies Peak in from. twenty-five 10 thirty
days.
That paper also says a company can go
from Leavenworth with q ft-out costing
each man say $3.50. Small companies
are daily going from Leaveuworth, Kansas
City and other points, with the intention
of passing the winter there so as to be on
hand for operations in the spring.

He was also anxious TO take all the Americar
citizens, but there was such rush of foreigners
into The boats that only one load of eleven could
be got off, and even several OF these Were for

culpable negligence of some of the crew. The

Prof. GIaublensklee, of New York, another
passenger, corroboratess the statement of Mr..
Brew and in describing the scene at the height
Of the fire. saws:
Our only hopes now being in two vessels in
the distance-one of which afterwards proved

other, further of, steering west; took no notice
of US, although she was sigRalled to do so by
the Captain of the Maurice.
The Austria was a fine iron screw steamer of
2,334 tons. built in 1857 by Messrs. Laird d Co.
of Greenoch. She was built in nine watertight
compartments, and her apparatus for extingush-
ing fire was Of the first order. She had di-
rect condensing engine. more properly known
among nautical men as steam-hammer engine.
She belonged TO the Hamburg and American
Steam Packet Company of Hamburg. and is

line. combining all the latest Improvements
and being the most costly steamer of the line.

The LOST BALLooNIsT-UNsUCCEssFUL
SEARoH.-The party who came up from
Adrian and went down TO Baptiste Greek
on Wednesday evening last, returned to
to this city last evening They searched
diligently throughout the wide marsh in
that region, going in every direction, but
finding no trace Of the body of Mr.. Thurs
ton. After satisfying themselves that it was
not to be found there, and aseertaining that
no person had seen man in the balloon
when it came down, they returned from
this chase of wild geese, hatched by the
enterprise" uf the Detroit Free Press.
The party are now satisfied that the re-
mains of the lest man are to be sought for
near the spot where he started. Wehope
their quest may be successful-Detroit
Tribune, 25.
The Detroit Adoertiser says that Mr..
Bannister ond friends in the last expedition
to the sw;imp have made through search,
for serera miles around the place where
the balloon came down, and that they have
relinquished all idea that Mr.. Thurston
came into Canada at all. Mr.. Bannister
says:
He has taken great pains to sift the ru-
mors in regard to a mans being seen upon
The balloon, thoroughly, and is convinced
they are without foundation in fact. A re-
ward of twenty five dollars was offered TO
hunters and others who inhabit that region
(enough to excite them to effort for the
recoyeryof the body. Mr.. Bannster thinks
now, that the violent motion of the balloon
swa.ing TO and fro in the air, and its great
elleyalon, (three miles,, caused the unfor-
tunate man to resign his hold and drop to
the earth, in which case he must have been
dashed into such minute particles as to
leave but few traces.
Mr.. Thurstonwas forty-fve years of age,
a man of much industry and perseverance,,
and highly respected. He was widower,
with an only child, young lady. Mr.. T.
resided at Adrian, and was proprietor of a
small fruit nursery.

HORSES AND MuLE-Thousands of these val
liable animals are lost every year, from their
owners not knowing how totreat the various dis
eases they were suffering with. or from using
inferior remedies. This is peculiarly so in ie-
gard to such diseases as epringhalt, SPAWN,
polleyi, and all such as are the result ofsprains
bauises, harness grams, DC. All these diseases
are readily durable by the use of some penetra-
ting Linament. which is absorbed by the pores
of the skin,and at once drives off the bad hu-
mors that feed and keep up the disease
Among all the Linaments that have ever heen
invented, none posses the pcnetrative and diffu-
sive principle to such a degree as DR.. Bragg's
Arctic Linament, an article which is rapidly
driving all similar preparations out of the mar
ket. For sale at the BOOK STORE. Millers-

What the President said to
Senator Brown.

The Hon. A. G. BRows, OF Mississipp
made speech at barbecue, on the lltt
at Hazleburst, Miss. The barbecue, wa
piveu him BY his sold friends of Copia
county, He avowed the most extrem
Southern doctrines, contending that SLAYER,
and the Union would not exist together
and that, when the issue arose, he was II
favor of disunion in behalf of slavery. The
Vicksburg Wing reports that which thu
Governor said in regard to the Conference
Bill, as follows: l--z
The Governor expressed his acquiescence
in the Conference bill, and hoped it would
be enforced. He stated that he called on
the President before he left Washington
and that Mr.. Buchanan assured han, in
the most positire and aaeqaipocal terms
that he acould appoint no man to Office
who held the opinion that Kansas ought to
be admitted before she has population
ohich scoald entile her to representative
an Congress. according to the terms Of
the Conference bill, and that he ,could
decapitate erery o6ice-holder who cypress
ed such a belief. Gov. Brown went on to
state that he regarded this as solemn
pledge on the part of Mr.. Buchanan, and
although he considered him a little weak
in the back" be believed he would stick up
to it. Whenever be (Gov. Brown plight
ed bis faithto any man, he always stuck to
ii, and he intended TO hold Mr.. Buchanan
to his declaration"
That Mr.. Brown speaks By authority and
means what he says, there is no reason to
doubt. The plain statement Of the case is
this: TIC 10 South, with tie aid of the Pres
ident, failed in the attempt to force the
Kansas Lecompton constitution down the
throats of the people, whose act and deed
it assuredly was not. They then had the
Conference (English) Bill prepared, which
had two points: lst offering inducements
to The people to come into the Union un-
der the odious constitution; I'd, forbidding
them entrance into she Union for several
years under any other constitution.
This restrictive clause the Administra-
tion candidates for Congress throughout the
North, and especially such Democratic
members of the present Congress as have
been nominated for reelection, are endeav
oring to repudiate. They say that they
will vote for the admission of Kansas into
the Union under any 'qegal' constitution at
any time without regard to population,
when the Washington Union says they
know that according to the English Bill,
no illegal" constitution from Kansas can be
presented prior to December of next year;
and when the President has made to
Southern Senators such promises as those
reported by Senator Brown. The case is
plain. The Northern Democratic candi-
dates for Congress are repeating their old
game which the people already know to be
deceptive. This talk of Northern Demo
Gratis voting for the admission of Kansas
into the Union before she has paid the pre-
scribed penalty for refusing pro-slavery
constitution, is yote-begging under down
right, nude and shameless false pretenses.
