gold 10 extend aimost unbroker over millions
upon millions Of acres. Another declares that he
prospected carefully over distance Of two hun
dred miles, and found the precious metal "cvery-
where that he tested the earth" Another
prophesies return as high as twenty dollars
day to each miner provided with proper in
struments, sluices, and 30 forth. OF course,
these accounts must be taken with pretty large
grain Of salt; but at the same time the fact may
be assumed as established, that the gold fields Of
Kansas and Nebraska are fruitful enough to
tempt the young and hardy, who have always
made the pioneers Of our Western civilization.
There Is no doubt, them as we have predicted
before, that there will be an immense emigration
westward during this spring and summer. The
early opening of the rivers and lakes and the ge-
NAL season which has already dawned upon us,
will give vast stimulus to emigration, the effects
of which will be felt, not only at that point to
which it Is directed, but all over the country
The Eastern and Middle States will furnish their
portion of the men who are destined to build up
towns and cities in he desert to compel the yet
untrodden earth to give up its golden treasure,
to crowd the rivers Of the distant territories with
the landmarks Of commerce. and fructify the
prairie and the mountain. From the South,
also, no small share Of similar class will pour
into Kansas, Nebraska and Arizona, attracted
by the gold Of the former Territories aud the
shining silver of the latter one.
IL the favorable reports continue to multiply
for few weeks longer we shall probably see
the largest emigration towards the West this
summer which has been witnessed since the
rush to California, some ten years ago.

THE WESTERN COLD FIELDs-EAILy OPEN
ING OF THE SEAsoN.--We publish to day very
extensive and interesting correspondence from
various points in the new FL Dorado of the
West-the gold fields Of Kansas and Nebraska.
With the unusually early opening Of travel, both
by land and water, active evidences Of large
emigration in that direction are presented In all
quarters Of the country. The reports of the rich
ness Of the gold product. though variable and
sometimes conflicting are in the main highly fa-
vorablc while Us to the richness of the soil, the
salubrity Of the climate and beauty Of the coun-
try, there is ne difference of opinion among those
who have narrated their experience.
The letters from our correspondents in our
columns this morning bring the intelligence
from Pixies Peak down TO the latest period. Al
lowing something for the spirit of exaggcration
common to travellers and Adventures, it must
be admitted that the latest reports from the
mining districts arc most fattcring, and are cal
culatcd to evoke the passion for gold seeking in
all adventurous breasts. But it must be remcm-
bered that these glowing statements often come
from land SPECTATORS, parties interested In town
and village sites, and in the construction Of rail-
roads. We give them, therefore, for what they
arc worth, leaving the public 10 judge for them.
