DRINK CONSIDERABLY !

SOMETHING TO THANK COP FoR.-We
find the following remarkable sentence at
the close of an article in the Nashville
Union and American, upon the late cleo
ton in the North:
THE Democracy of the North have
every reason to be proud of the manner
in which they have sustained themselves
on those issues, for if they have not alb
solutely tfiumphed over the Opposition.
they have much more than maintained
their relative strength go.
That's equal to the poor fellow who,
with his wife and little ores, was wreck
ed {" on the Mississippi. Finding the
boat bound to go down, he leaped over
board and swan ashore, leaving his help
less family to their fate. Crawling up
the bank and taking view of ''things,' IS
he espied his dog which followed him
from the sinking vessel. and in the exu-
berance of his gratitude, be exclaimed :

but thank God, Ponto is safe l"-AthenS

The following hints, thrown out by
contemporary who had been annoyed BY
the avalanche of unintelligible manu-
script, should be read attentively By all
writers for newspapers. Some Of our
own correspondents may profit BY what
is said /: There is nobody permitted TO
write unintelligibly for our paper. but
ourselves. One unreliable manuscript
day is as much as the genius Of our com.
posing force can master. Therefore, every
one who expects to have his eommunics-
ton printed so as to make sense, must
take the trouble to write it so that the
whole collected talent Of the Office shall
be able to decipher its meaning. It wozld
take more than one ChampolliOn to un-
ravel some Of the hieroglyphies sent rs
for English. We keep translAtOrs only
from living languages into the American
tongue.

ABoLITIoNIsM DIsEAsE.-The Boston
Courier expresses itself on this subject in
this wise: zone of the most interesting
and instructive facts in the history of the
human race is the recurrence from time to
time, Of diseased conditions of the public
mind, constituting moral epidemics, which
infect society with moral decisions, Just
as its physical condition is occasionally
disturbed by infections or contagious dis
tempers. Whenever one Of these moral
epidemics seizes upon the public mind, It
becomes morbidly sensitive on some spe-
ci6c subject; it runs into the most pitia-
bic extravaganees it seems to lose all
sense of reason and judgment itexhibits
the symptoms of temporary deliriousness.
The prevailing sentiment in the Eastern
States, in regard to the negro race, con-
stitutes q striking illustration of these
intellectual epidemics, and one which in
future times will be looked back upon
with the same mingled sorrow and
amazement with which we at this time
regard the witchcraft mania Of the old
colony Of Massachusetts,.

WHAT'S DEMOCRACY 9-This question
is thus satisfactorily answered by the
Knoxville Tenn. Wing:
To be Democrat, in whom there is
no guile, man must swear allegiance to
the party! If the party hold separate
creed in each State of the Union, every
member is required to swear that there is
no Inconsistency n that ! To be nation
al one must follow every Democrat in
the nation, irrespective Of his principles
And to be. sectional is to oppose anything
said or proposed by the Administration
No man is to be prescribed because he
NAV reject any one or even all the articles
Of faith in the Democratic creed While
any Interpretation. given to any or all the
articles Of the. Democratic creed. by any
man, North or South. is perfectly legiti-
mate And call who remain in the or
eanization" of the Democratic party, no
matter where born. what color, OF what
faith, or from National, 6tate. or County

WHITE CLOUD, KANSAS, THURSDAY, MARCH a. 1862
Late from Cherry Creek-A Rsth-
er Unfayorable Aecount-Fighting
Among the Diggers-Letter from
St, Louisian,

AURARIA City, K. T., Jan. 10, 1859.
We have had most pleasant Winter.
No suffering whatever has been expert
enced by our friends. On the contrary,
all have enjoyed mos. fne health, and
are in excellent spirits. ,1
Day before yesterday it was warm as
Summer. Yesterday the thermometer
stood above Summer heat, and to-day it
is as warm and more agreeable than Ell
Their of the previous days. the heat being
tempered with delightful breeze.
Some persons have already commenced
working in the mines but SO far it pays
poorly. Diggers who have been the most
successful have not averaged three dollars
per day, and some have not made fifty
cents, working hard at that. The gold
is very fine. 1t takes from 90 to IS par
ticles to make the value Of cent. The
largest speck which / have heard Of, will
not weigh more than 25 cents in value.
All the large Jumps that you have receiv-
ed in st. Louis, as Pixies Peak gold, was
never obtained in this region-they be-
long to California. All the accounts of
gold findings of an extravsgant character,
are the fabrications of spectators. I
wish to put you and others on their guard
against those stories; especially Gen.
Larimer's account. / will venture to say
that he does not know anything about
the matter. / have not found a good
prospect yet; and | am on the ground.
l venture the prediction that few persons
viii make fortunes hunting gold in this
country. But as "seeing is believing"
let all who wish to have sight at the
elephant" come on. l am beginning to
get view of him. 81, H4.1
There are more than two hundred cab
ins built here; and two hundred more
are to be erected before the last of March,
A good hotel will be ready for ''the boar
ders" by the end of May. 1t is to be
two stories high. seventy-ive feet in
width. and one hundred and twenty feet
in length. Spectators are already bus
lily engaged in laying off cities around
the diggings, and they are the fellows
who are sending to the States such glow
ing accounts of gold discoveries.
If enough of gold is mot found before
the latter part of May. many now here
will go to California, New Mexico. and
Arizona, while not few will pitch their
tents in this new region for life.
AS / am writing, l hear that there is
an ARRAY going on about two squares from
my cabin. Three or four men have got
into quarrel. and the report of pistols
is distinctly heard. If anybody has been
hurt, will write you the particulars.
The principal amusement here, during
the Winter, has been card playing. tel
ling yarns, and drinking most execrable
whiskey. The latter is worth $40 per
gallon-in st. Louis it would cost 20
cents. I-must not omit to tell you that
l have not seen white woman since ]
left the States. H. L. BoLToN.

A RULE WoRKIEs Born WAYs.-A
correspondent of the Journal of Com
merce, in speaking of Plymouth County.
Massachusetts, which ne had just visited,
says =
l saw but one town which made no
show of business, and that was Duxbury
"a very pretty place, with many houses,
which denoted men of substance. But /
was told that it was finished. As my
informant said, it was Sunday every day
here, and he added that politics had been
the ruin Of the place Though he left
me without an explanation. ! called to
mind an anecdote which had heard, and
which may, in some measure, serve as a
solution. In 1851, the citizens Of Dux-
bury, and the adjacent town of Montpe-
lier, sent a delegate to Washington, to
obtain from the Government proper mea-
sures for the improvement Of the harbor,
which had been obstructed. About the
same time they held q meeting and adop-
ted resolutions denouncing the fugitive
slave act, and declaring their determine
ton to protect any fugitive slave from the
application of the law. Secretary Ora
ham, to whom the application in relation
to the harbor was made. took out from
his drawer . copy of the Anti Slavery
resolutions, and remarked that the sppE-
csnts seemed to be independent of the
Government, and need not call for its aid.
Lately the inhabitants made an attempt,
without success, to cut 9 channel, and
abandoned it.

ADVICE TO EMGRASTs.-We take the
following excellent reflections from the
Springfield Mass Republican:
We hear of a considerable number Of
our well-to-do mechanics and artisans who
are seriously considering the question Of
visit to the Kansas Gold fields, or emf
grafton to the West for permanent settle
ment, this Spring. As usual, those who
are doing well now, pecuniarily, are the
uneasy men who are anxious to do better.
The men who spend as they go, and live
but one remove from the poor-house, are
generally content where they are, and do
not aspire to anything better, either from
conviction that they cannot escape what
seems to be their destiny, or because Pro-
violence blesses with the great solace of
contentment those to whom she denies
the gifts of fortune. This will be found
to be the general fact. The man who
prospers above his fellows is always first
to seek new enterprises in the hope Of
gaining money still faster, and those who
are now talking most earnestly of ven
ture to the gold diggings are those who
have good situations and good pay at
home.
But it seems to US, after all, that the
inducements for emigration to the West
for permanent settlement are much the
greatest. There is abundance of the best
land in the world in Iowa, Minnesota,
Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri, in a
healthful and delightful climate, which
can be had at the merely nominal Gov
eminent price, or a slight advance upon it
in the more settled plaees-or for nothing.
if Mr.. Crows Homestead bill, which has
passed the House, shall also pass the
Senate. There are also thousands of good
improved farms, almost anywhere in the
West, that can be had Just at this time
for half what they would have brought
two years ago. Their owners are embar-
raised and want money. They will sell
their places very cheap for cash, pay their
debts, and push on farther towards the
outer line of settlement.
There probably was never a time when
improved farms, well situated, on lines of
communication and in the vicinity Of
growing cities and towns, could be bought
so cheap as at the present moment, and
it is not probable that another such gen.
eral opportunity of this sort will occur
for many years. At least it is to be
hoped no such prostration of business
will again embarrass the western farmers,
as now cheapens their cultivated SOIL
Those, therefore, who have saved few
hundred dollars can invest them in Q
farm at the West, with as near q certainty
as we can get in this world that it will
speedily double in value on their hands,
and it does not need practiced farmer to
get living on western land. Here in
sterile New England, the mechanic who
should leave his shop and attempt to get
his subsistence from the soil, would be
very likely to find it hard work, and wish
himself back in his shop again. But ag-
riculture at the West is comparatively a
simple business, and although skill and
labor pay there as well as here, they are
not SO indispensable to existence.

J. Don't Abandon Your Farm, y

We End the following excellent advice
in the Omaha Times, and commend It to
the attention Of farmers in this locality:
We are truly sorry to learn Of q num-
Der Of our Nebraska and Western Iowa
farmers, who think of abandoning their
farms for the purpose Of going to the
Cherry Creek Gold Mines. Such move
is very bad policy. il not the height Of
folly. We are well aware that the remu-
neration of the past year, affords but poor
encouragement, but a brighter day is
dawning, and the profits Of agriculture
during the succeeding years, promise to
make amends for the past. With the
labors of the past few years, in arranging.
breaking and enclosing your farms, and
the knowledge that you can raise almost
fabulous crops, ought to induce you to
remain where you are, even If produce
would command but q moderate price.
But when we take into consideration, that
produce will be worth twice as much
here as at the East, and that it will be
unprecedentedly high there that it viii
command ready sale, and for cash that
the demand for it can't be supplied with
out importation; and that you are fixed
for raising produce, the inducement for
you to stay on your farms becomes so
strong, that it looks like madness for you
to abandon them.
We are aware that the gold mines pre-
sent great attractions, that fortunes will
be made there, and all these things, but
yet, there are certain things always to be
taken into consideration, when an impor-
tant step like this is contemplated-it
won't do, it isn't safe to make a move
like this in the dark. We hold land q
careful examination will demonstrate the
truth of our position, to every reflective
mind, that, by farming, you can make
as much here, as you can in the mines.
and there are all the comforts Of home, the
pleasure of being with friends and kin
dred, the advantages of society, and the
conveniences of civilized life; all these
should not be flung carelessly aside as
unworthy of consideration. If you leave
your farms the labor of past years will
be thrown away, the certainty of fortune
abandoned for the probability Of one, and
new farms will be opened to yield fortune
and position to their owners, instead Of
that your farm might have yielded you,
had you not deserted it. Again we say,
"Don't abandon your farms" ~
