Peace Disturbrrs Routed.

Last Saturday evening quite disturb
ance was raised on the streets, caused by
fight between two or three young men
who had more whisky than good sense.
One of them was sent 10 the Lookup, but
was brought out the same evening--had
his trial--was fined, and set at liberty.
As he appeared very peniient. and at his
urgent request. We omit his name.
Another one engaged in the same me,
lee, was fined and sent to the ca!aboos
where he was kept in durance vile unit
Tuesday. His name Is - Herb. No
having seen any such herbs in our ootan
zeal researches, we are unable to give th'
proper name.
Laler--sane evening, an old Irishman
was arrested for stealing shirt from one
of his counfrymen. Bail. SOD, in default
of which le was sent up.
We hope oar Marshal will continue
faithful ia the good work. rs there are a
,1uInber # individuals In town and country
round about, that should be dealt with in
the above manner more frequently than
heretofore. When they get drunk and
disorderly. every mothers son of them
should be dealt with according to law. Ii
ia very probable, that after they have been
sent to the lookup, and fined pretty heavy
few times. Il ey will come to the cenciu-
zion that they do not own the whole town,
and that it Is not healthy for them to at
tempt TO trample upon our laws with i'm
punity.

Senator Green. of Missouri, has sugges
ted compromise between the disagreeing
factions Of the Democracy, which meets
the approval of President Buchanan and
Secretary Cass. and which, it is expected
will unite the party. The Western De
mocracy insist on the re -instatement of
Mr.. Douglas as a reguls.r member of the
party. Mr.. Green proposes to drop all
discussion upon intervention and non in
tervention, as mop essential, and proposes
also the withdrawal of all opposition to
the admission of Kansas, whether as free
or slave State. in the next Congress
These bases Of accommodation, and the
breach between The factions OF Democracy
is regarded as healed.

Aurora are situated on the Platte River
atthe mouth of Cherry Greek. Denver is
on the east. and Aurora on the west side
OF the Creek there are about three hun
dred houses in both towns. They are
mostly buff; Of logs. have no floor, and
for windows have pieces of cotton cloth
stretched on frame. 4,
These houses were bnilt By spectators
and great many Of them are unoccupied
The news from the mines is very dis
couraging. in fact there are scarcely any
mines found yet--many think they will be
found when the weather will permit the
mountains being prospec,ed. As for my
self, have come 10 the conclusion that il
is all humbug. and one that beats Bar
mum to death. A great many are prepar-
ing to go back to the States. There is gold
here. but the general impression is tina. ii
will not pay for digging. 1 am here and
shall test the matter fairly. il there is any
gold, shall try and find it. Yesterday
heard good news from Clear Creek, twelve
miles from here--some miners have taken
out as high as fifteen dollars in one day,
but the mines do not seem to hold out
Last evening l saw man from there, he
said four men had worked sluice the day
before and took out thirty-six cents! 1t is
the impression that if better mines are no,
found soon that the miners will rise en-
masse, destroy Denver and Aurora. help
themselves 10 the provisions and start fol
the States.
There. was q man hung here one week
ago to-day. and another shot yesterday
The funeral of the latter will take place at
2 P. M. to-day. There is great excite
ment-the prisoner is guarded by thirty
men-whelher he will be hang l cannot
tell.

good presumplive evidence that those who
do business on this one sided principle do
not desire the patronage Of any excep, the
readers of that one paper-nineteen-tw TWEEN
tieths of whom belong TO the party which
that paper represents. Such being the
case, their establishments become political
so far as their bushes is concerned, just

Offices. both of which depend upon their
respective parties for support. these

manner of doing business that hey look
in the same direction for their patronage.
We hope they may not be disappointed by
support from any other source. A man
who comes into strange community and
evinces such narrow contracted, pro-
scriptive party spirit, should be patronized
only by as many of his own party as can
not get the articles they want anywhere
else. Customers never fail to get cheated
when trading with such men.
