am stopping at the Nuckols House in

with celebrities Calhoun, of Kansas noto,
riety, Candle-box Mclean, and Burnett, who
received General Jacksons snuff box for
being the brayest man in the American ar
my during the Mexican war, are all at this
house. In addition to thoss have named
above. there is q host Of others, who have
figured coDspiouously in the history Of these
Territories, all here; and this must say OF
them, they seem all very polite and weil,brod
gentlemen, whom you would never suspect Of
any design to set these Territories in q con-
| fagration, They arc such mild mannered,
and pleasant geutlemen, and kind withal,
that you would never suspeot them Of being
the men who have set this Republic Ia a
blaze from one end to the other Distance
is deceptive, for / find that after some DAYS
intercourse with these gentlemen, am not
quite sure that the devil is quite a. black as
he is painted. Burnett recollects King and

cannot conclude this letter without warn
| ing the folks at home to- receive the won
derful stories of gold discoveries at the 2, ak
with a very strong mixture Of salt. Every
character Of deception is pracdced by the
speculators to entrap the unwary. You will
notice in the western papers most extraor-
dInary stories of recent discoveries, / have
opportunities Of convorsing daily,and hourly,
with men who are on their way home from
the mines and it is somewhat singular that
men who have left Denver city since the re,
ported date Of these discoveries, should hear
nothing of them until they reach the Mis-.
souri, River, In coming down the river YES.
terday we picked up four men who left
Denver city 13 days ago in an open boat;
they had come down the Platte river the
entire distance; they had heard nothing OF
those fabulous quantities of gold which the
minors are said 60 be realizing. thair expe-
rience was of n very different kind; they
simply left the mines beca use thew had
nothing TO eat, and could not collect enough
gold to buy food. But these true stories
never find their way into the papers, il be-
ing considered out this way good policy to
turn out for public inspection only one side
OF the subject, 'es4a4 a is.1,i-e s8,.s
Tho amount Of suffering among the emil
grants is also carefully concealed, but it Ia
fearful to contemplate. Apaftysof seventeen
