An UYLUcKY SPECULATIoN.-The iu-
dividual who attempted to speculate in
Auraria Town Shares, made an unlucky
move. The expose of his transaction Is
being published from one end of the lani
to the other and IT any take advantage Of
it, to stick other matters at him, in which
he has heretofore been engaged. The Lo-
connective. published at In dianapolis, Ind,
strikes another key. and stirs him up as
follows. He and the Locomotive for it ;
but we apprehend that he now begins to
have slight inkling of the meaning Of

benefit of our readers in that region. we
warn them against him. He is plausi-

WANTED PAY.-We see that our Ne
braska City and st. Joseph exchanges
make quite blow over the arrival from
the mines, Of q Capt. Branhsm, and the
fabulous stories he tells of the superior
advantages" of the South Plato route.
We believe the Captain halls from Boone
County, Missouri. He returned from the
mines via the North Platte route, and
was in this city about fortnight since.
While here he told some Of our citizens
that if they would raise him ttOO hundred
dollars, be would 60 to Chicago and
elbow" for the North Plate route, he as
surfing us that this was the best route, by
odds, but that money being his object, he
was willing to elbow" any route for pay.
Our people rejected his proposition, and
we see he is now blowing the st. Joseph
route. Of course money had nothing to
do in securing his influence for that route.

The rival Out-ftting points" are be-
coming so jealous of each other. that they
are compelled to expose their own hum
buggery. Of late, the ST. Joseph. Leav-
enworth and Kansas City papers have
been filled with Captain Branham's won
derful stories. In the above extract we
find the pith of the matter. When the
humbuggers begin to expose themselves,
we NAV soon look for an eXnlosion of the
whole thing. We have no doubt that the
above is strictly true. as far as Branhsm's
fishing for pay was concerned but if the
whole truth were told, we would hear that
every one of the tremendous stories told
about the mines, from Kansas City to
Omaha, is gotten up for the same object,
By persons who are in for speculation,
or by their hired pimps. Let them go

QUANTITY ASD QUALITY OF THE GOLD.

49, ~ AAAAA VI Anc NOLDs
Admitting the, superstition that il runs
in q river. it would follow that where that
vein traverses prairie country, the gold
would be equally disseminated over its
surface, and consequently the diggings
would pay in one place as well as another
with equal water privileges. On the other
hand, where this vein travsrses q noun
lannon's country, Nature does much to aid
the miner in its collection, for the greater
part ofthe gold will wash from the noun
tain sides to the ravines below, and hence
diggings that paid at all in the prairie,
would be much richs in the mountains.
0fthe diggings Cd the head of Cherry
Creek, l know nothing, only that IS we
came down. one of our party found a
good prospect of fine gold. As for the
Platte. my opinion is that few and very
few Of the river claims will pay soon as
they now work them. When capital
shall have been brought to bear in the way
Of carrying water. either from the West
branch Of Cherry Creek or the Platte, on

Mr.. Buchanan has demanded the absorption of
the powers of Congress in those of the execution

Cabinet officers raised the voice of denuncation
