very naturally proyokes surprise and comment

reared its National pro-slayery standard-bere
the U. s. Officials established an especa! organ
Of buchanan and themsolves-hsre numerous
citizens of Lorain were imprisoned under the
Infamous Fugitive Slave Act for obeying the
Golden Rule-here Government Pursuers and
Jeffries Court outraged Justice and Human
ity by attempting to crush out oborn-and
here Kentucky kidnlpPers were brought,
screened, and defended by u. 5 Marshal,
Prosecutor, and Judge, and at Government
expense. Is it q marvel then, that the free

Account Of the Pixies peak Gold Re
gions, by Returned Prospector5.

las there is considerable interest at
present in regards to Pixies Peak and tho
adjacent country, we publish the follow
ing article, which seems to be well authen-
ticated, and contains much information
respecting that section of country.
We were called upon yesterday by
Messrs. A. French and [. G. Dicksonr
gentlemen who were members Of the CONF
pany which started last spring from Law
renee, Kansas, on prospecting tour IN
to the country about Pixies Pesk. Tho
company consisted Of forty-soyen persons
two of whom were women: and was out
fitted with about one team, of one wagon
and three yoke Of oxen or pair Of muies,
to each four persons. They took pro-
visions for six months, and started in the
early part Of May, under the direction Of
an Indian guide, who, however soon left
them, after which they proceeded a'one
keeping the Santa Fe road I'LL they
struck the Arkansas river. thence up the
Arkansas to the Pixies Peak region, being
between four and FIVE weeks on tho road
"a journey of not less than 700 miles.
During the trip the company met many
indians, but were in no aay molested by
them. Only in one instance did they ex-
perience any trouble in crossing the many
streams along the route, and then the
rains had swollen the creek to an unusual
size. They got through without any Sc
rious difficulty, and arrived in perfect
health, having experienced no inoonvens7

We accept the resolution as you have

relation to written discussion coincide
with ours.
Agreeable to your request, we have
solicited and obtained permission to use

Again you say, ''This discussion will
bear directly upon our religious convic-
tons, it will therefore be your duty to
show that we belong to that part of COM
munity who have been labeled "dupes to
la perverted conscience" Now this reads
well enough, but we fail to discover the
logical inference. It seems to us to be
a strange conclusiomto draw from such
premises. 1t amounts to this, viz: ''That
because you are not alone in your relig-
ious convictions, on, that because this dis
cussion will bear directly upon those con-
yictions, we must show that you belong
to that part of community who have been
labeled "dupes to perverted conscience"
Why not from the same premises con-
elude that cit viii therefore be your du-
ty to show that James Buchanan is of
African extraction!"
@dl We fail to realize it as our duty thus
to label you. Ifhowever, it is your de-
sire, in contingency, probable, or other
wise, to be thus designated, we have no
objection to that or any other term you
may see fit to apply to yourselves.
Again, you-say, "This being the case,
the excitement which you have informed
US exists in the community on this sub
iect," &c. We are not aware of having
impaired any such information, and we
cannot discern your reason for gratuitous-
ly crediting us with this assertion; and
since the types awaken such a sense Of
responsibility in our minds, we feel un-
willing that the eyes Of discriminating
people, should read what we have never
written, and that the press should report
what our pens have not reported.

To MEssRs. c. B. Cox, A. MORSE, and H. A.
TAYLOR:
Gentlemen-W have received and
considered your challenge to discuss with
you the subject Of card playing and dan
cling as affecting the moral and intellectual
interests of this community. We are not
all aware that we have publicly asserted,
as you say we have, that these anuse-
ments as practiced by the people of this
village, are detrimental to the moral and
intellectual interests of this community,
Whatever we have said against worldly
pleasures, has been in accordance with
the system of morals and religion which
we profess. If we have said that dancing
and card playing are immoral in their IN
fuence and tendency, it has been said
upon the basis of morality and religion as
we believe they are taught in the Bible.
That dancing and card playing are i'm
moral according TO your system OF morals,
we have never affirmed; nor must you
expect US to discuss it on that basis. But
we do avow it as our opinion that these
practices are detrimental to the physical,
intellectual, social, moral and religious
welfare of this community; and if you
viii either change the phrase of your reso-
luton 50 as to permit US to take this
ground, or give to the words You HAYS
chosen an Interpretation sufficiently broad
to make the proposition synonymous with
the affirmative above, we viii consent te
discuss the subject with you.
But we propose to discuss this subject
with you through the press Of River Fails

Ring out merry poal, oh bells,
A merry peal across the Snow,
The Old Years dead, and let him go;
No whimpering of vain farewells.
Ring out the hardness of the times;
The duns, the dolor and distress,
That springs from pockets penniless,
And ring us in rowth of dimes.
Ring out of misers' withered hearts,
If in them yet such thing there be,
The blessed dew of charity
To glad the poor that crowd our marts.
Ring out the rule of knaves and quacks,
Whose vileness taints the air they breathe
Ring out the taxes underneath
Whose burdens bend the peoples backs.
Ring in once more TO place and power,
The calm. the truthful and the wise,
Who bow to ne idolatries,
To pander to the passing hour.
The pure of heart, the clean of hand,
Who faunt no ostentatious creeds;
Who crown their lives by upright deeds
Men whose wise rule will bless the land.
