Clayton county. left Elkader on the 18th of
May, for this country, and arrived at Denver
City on the 2lst of July, and started the next
day for the mines. l first visited Gregory
Gulch, and found that some were making
money fast, and the Gulch all claimed, mostly
by men from Georgia; went to Russel's Gulch
and found about the same, only the miners
were doing better; this is the best mine yet dis.

were making from S. to $25 to the hand, per

is too late to Gloss the Snow Range, though
some went over to the Colorado and have re-
turned reporting good prospects; they we're
driven back by the Indians. But Russel's
Gulch is good enough for me; we have the
richest quartz leads in the world, but they can
not be worked this season for want of tools
there being only one quartz mill in the noun
taus, and that is on the Gregory Lead.
1t is believed by all California miners that
this country will surpass California, in about
three years, but the mines cannot be worked to
any advantage, this season, on account of the
scarcity Of water and tools; there is a large
ditch company to work on Clear Creek, and
we will have it in this gulch by the lst of May,
1860. Some of the miners cart their dirt one
mile to water, and then make from S. to So per
day, and am acquainted with man here who
dug his dirt. wheeled it twenty rods by hand,
and rocked with small rocker 500 in one day,
SO in another, and $57 in another; all this

The InsurrectiOuissS.


The prosecution rested their case on the 2Sth,
and on the 29th, after several witnesses were
called for the defence, without showing much
in mitigation, Brown, in great excitement, rose
from his mat.rass and made the following spir-
tied speech. The courage of the earnest, but
misguided old man, partakes of the Roman, and
as the State Of Virginia can afford it, we hope
he Will be spared the death penalty:
"Ndy IL please the C0ut:-I discover that,

Mr.. IIoyt, Browns counsel fiom Boston, ask.
ed for an adjournment till morning, on the
ground that Judge Tilden would probably ar
rive during the night, and be able to appear as
counsel. He excused himself from conducting
the defence, because he was not. acquainted
with the Virginia criminal code.
Mr.. Green and Mr.. Bolts, his Virginia coun

The Grain Trade.

FOR receipts Of wheat, last week, quite
eclipse every previous one in the history OF
the grain trade of our city. The total re-
ccipts by railroad were 1906 bbls. flour,
and 324,62O bushels wheat, equivalent to
1876, $50 bushels, against 90, 3l5 bushels for
the corresponding week last year. The
shipments for the week were lS, 1929 bbls.
flour, and 394,57S bushels wheat, equiva-
lent to 1929 bushels, against 9G,4s2
bushels for the same week in 1853.
Since January lst we have received at
this point 15l, 1882 bbls -four and 3,s4G,-
1876 bushels wheat, equal, in the aggregate,
to AGO., 09G bushels, against 4,l22, 600
bushels for the corresponding period in
1893, indicating an increase of AIS, 4O6
bushels over the receipts of last year
This is certainly a good showing for Mil,
waukee, considering the heavy deficit in
the receipts at other places throughout the
West These figures show that the grain
trade of our city is increasing more rapidly
than ever before, and they point very des-
tlnct to the fact that Milwaukee, is destined,
before long, to become the principal grain
mart of the North West. -.Ssatinel Of 20.

On Tuesday evening, Oct. 26th, the pco-
pie Of the village of Hardin were taken by
surprise by the appearance of the Clermont
Brass Band, when they listened to some of
the sweetest notes Of that Band, under the
leadership of their eminent teacher. For
the time they have practiced, they excel all
other bands in the State to which we have
listened; they do honor to themselves and

people. A LISTENER.

Homer

Homer.
The birthplace Of this celebrated poet is
matter of doubt, and it is said that twelve
cities claim Tho honor Of his nativity. We
do not know much about that old question
but we do know that HOMER E. NEWELL has
more Books than the Niad contains, and he
has more Drugs than would kill, or heal, all
the Greeks at the celebrated seige of Troy.
Newell deals principally in School Books
and Drugs, but he has almost everything
that can be named in the line Of fancy
goods usually kept in Book Store, and his
assortment of Paints, Oils, Glass and Putty
is as complete as the wants Of the country
demand. Our trade with the McGregCr
Homer has been large, and we have never
had occ ,sion to think that figure was out
of place in his prices. He has just received

vertisement of TO- day his customers can see
