Remarkable Gold Discoveries = Over
500 worth of Gold picked up IN a
few hourS.

From the LeavenwOrth Times, Dec. al-l
Quite an excitement was created in the
city yesterday by the ARRIVAL Of James
Blackstone, one Of Russell, Majors IS Co. s
wagon masters, with several nuggets Of
gold, concerning the discovery of which
the following account Is given
Mr.. Blackstone was in charge Of re-
turn train, with which he arrived in the
vicinity Of Ash Hollow, on or about
Nov. 22d lie here indulged in Buffalo
hunt, and. after an exciting chase. went
to a small lake about six miles from Ash
Hollow, on the Platte river. for the pur-
pose of getting drink. He was here
surprised by discovering deposits Of gold
in the sand. over ninety dollars worth Of
which he picked up in few hours. One
of the nuggets alone is worth twenty-five
dollars, and can be seen at the store Of
Russell, Majors d Waddell, on Main
street.
Mr.. Blackstone was accompanied by
two men when the great discovery was
made, and proposes to return in the course
of fortnight. Ash Hollow is distant
from Leavenworth but four hundred and
seventy-fve miles, and if the gold depOs-
its thereabouts should turn out to be any
thing like what is indicated by Mr.. Black
stones discoveries, a new inhatus will be
given to the gold fever. that extends
throughout the length and breadth Of the
land.
We think there is little tloubt but that
the whole western portion Of Kansas and
Nebraska will eventually turn out to be
one immense gold field, unequalcd either
in extent or richness.

SPLENDID ARGUMESr.-The other eve
ming we overheard a person we know
not who it was loudly declaiming upon
the advantages which would result to
Kansas, if Slavery were established here.
Said he-"If man was allowed to bring
his niggers here, he would be compelled
to set them to cultirating the soil. for he
would have nothing else for them to do,
and K ansas would be settled up in few
years; but when one Of your auti-slsvery
men comes here. he plants an acre Of
corn, then goes to sleep and waits for it
to grow" To this several listeners re-
sponded-" Yes, that's so p
What a splendid argument For in
stance, there is the Slave State Of Virgil
mia. Slaves are allowed to be bought
and sold there, ard carried anywhere
within her limits; yet she has millions
of waste acres, unclaimed and .uncultiva-
ted. Free Northern men arc now NOV
ing in, to settle up her neglected soil.
So it is with every Slave State. They
have their thousands and millions Of
acres of unimproved lands and large
proportion of those who do cultivate
the soil with their niggers, are literally
starving out on their sand-hiils and in
I their marshes. We hear them crying to
be permitted to take their negroes from
the worn out soil of the Slave States
that soil which slave cultivation" has
worn QUITO plant them upon soil now
/ free, and to wear that out, while the
Slave States are not yet quarter settled
up. When large County in Slave
State contains $4,000 inhabitants, (and
more than half of them niggers. it is
considered very populOus; while Coun'
I ty in a Free State. whose area of square
miles is much less, is counted populou:
when it contains 10000 or 40, 900 inha'
bitants
Who talks abent settling up coun'
try? There is the new State of Ohio
already far ahead of Vagina, in point o
population and nearly every thing else
Indiana and Illinois, which the next cen.
sus will place ahead of her, and which
are already ahead of any other Southern
State; and Michigan, Wisconsin, lows
and Minnesota, which will distance hel
in two decades, or less-they are infant;
in age, compared with Virginia, and
most of the other Slave States-no slaves
arc worked in them, yet they are rapidly
settling up. Why, plant the old, stiff
broken-down niggers from your marshes
sand hills, pine barrens, everglades, ant
sterile knobs of the Slave States, upor
the bosoms of these Free States of tn.
West, and they would die from the very
richness of the soil-they are not used t.
it, and such a sudden transition woult
kill them outright! Talk about Slavery
settling up a country!
