The Very La,es, from tn. Gold Min.

Mr.. W. B. S. Combs, of Wesport was
in our Office day or two since and gave
the very latest intelligence from the gold
regions. Mr. G. left the mountains on the
18th of November, and came into West
port in thirty-two days, travelling with
mules. After the first of December thew
travelled in snow about ten inches deep for
ten or twelve days. He reports to us that
when he left, but very few were at work
in the mines-that everybody was busily
engaged in making preparation for winter.
He says that the emigrants now in the
mines are perfectly satisfied with the pros
poet before them; that they are confident
the gold is plenty, and that in the spring
they will find it in quantities equal to the
very best diggings of California. No sick
ness existed among the miners-every-
body was in good spirits and good health
He estimates the number Of men en-
camped on the South Platte, for distance
OF obout seventy-fve miles, at one thou
sand. Those that were working were
making from $4to So to the man, and
obliged to pack their earth at that.
Mr.. Coombs brought in a large package
ofletters, many of which were left with
US to be forwarded. Kansas Journal.

The Gold Regions.

Most of the journals in the Territory.

Ity OF Pixies Peak. We had intended to
have remained silent on the subject. be.

really believed to have been idle rumor.
leave no room to doubt the existence of
the precious metal in large quantities on
the different streams forming the Arkan-
sas and Platte rivers.
Reports of this nature usually travel
with great rapidity, and are eagerly sought
after by the over jealous, and those found
of the marvellous. The first tidings from
the new gold regions, went the rounds of
the press, doubtless to fill up space more
than any other purpose, as did the first
news from the California mines, which has
since added such untold wealth to our
country, and saved the financial world
from most serious overflow. The de-
Velopment of these mines at the present
time will prove alike propitious. The
Government has effected loan after loan.

barrassed, which good arguments have
proven, cannot be liquidated without a re-
vision of the present tariff.
We do not feel like going into extacies
over this matter, or advising emigration to
that region in fruitless chase after phan-
toms, but we are forced to the conclusion
that rich gold deposits exist on our west.

ing of the mines on large scale.
The information already receiled will
lead thousands to Western Kansas during
the coming spring. The best point to
start from the Missouri river is doubtless
Kansas City, where every thing necessary
for an outfit can be purchased at reasona.
BILE rates. From this point the great San
ia Fe road follows the natural "dividesn
to the Arkansas river, and up that stream
to Bent's Fort, within two hundred miles
OF the diggings. This route is thickly
settled for near two hundred miles, and is
well supplied with grass and water, and
frequent mail communication.
Large forests of white and yellow pine
timber abound both on the head waters
OF the Arkansas and Platte rivers, which
will make the country a rich one, to saw
nothing of the valuable gold deposits
Weshould not be the least surprised to see
the people who emigrate thither during
the coming season, asking the next Con.

Spare The FlowerA

It's well, young girls. your rosy hours,
To pass in frolic gay;
But, heedful, spare the tender flowers
That blossom in your way.
Oh, crnsh them not but love them well,
And list t. what they saJ;
y warning tale to you tell,
Of sal and swift decay.
For you. like these fair fragile flowers,
Rut bl lssrm fora day;
Like theirs are brief your sunny hours.
Like them on pass away.
And though you idly put them by.
ln lhe,s fresh morning hours,
n time shall come when you will sigh
For those UNDECIDED flowers.
When sorrWs come, and friends retire,
And early dreams depart,
And hopes are fed, you'll then desire
10 press them TO your heart,
And they shall wake your dreams again,
To bless your closing hours,
When none of all you loved remain,
But those sweet sister flowers.
