LATER FROM Pixies PEAK.-Mr. S. D. johnson, of
Detroit, returned to St. Joseph from the Cherry
Creek gold mines Gu the l lth inst having left the
mines on the 18th of April. He brought with him
Sc 25 in dust, which was all he could get by pur.
chase or labor in the mines. His account of affairs
out there is decidedly dscouraging He says there
is 10 gold there worth the digging for and many of
the miners, who in destitute condition. were Of
fering to work for their board. Those who hired
hands to dig for them, paid them sl5 per month-a
price which certainly does not indicate high degree
of prosperity.
The editor of the St. Joseph Gazette, to whom Mr.
johnson related his experiences says:
Mr.. j. confirms the reports of the difficulty between
Col. Bassett and John Scudder, in which the former
lost his life. The encounter took place on Friday
the 10Th of April. Bassett died on Saturday and was
buried on Sunday. Scudder was arrested by citizens
of Auraria and released again. but to avoid the rage
of the people Of Denver city the home of Bassett
who threatened to hang him, he fled the country.
The difficulty originated out of Jealousy between the
two towns and certain charges opening letters and
committing forseries.

Children OF the painless wood,
Dwelling 10 deep solitude, ".
Born of earth and blessed Of heaven,
Proofs of love that God hath given;
Pledges from his bounteous hand,
Ever fair aud sinlesg band
When your gentle mother, Spring,
Heard the happy robin sing,
Then we saw her, calm and slow,
Lift the coverlet of snow
From your tiny FORMS and press
Your pure lips with tenderness.
And we knew she fingered there,
Whispering words Of love and prayer;
For AZ last each sleeping child,
Looking upwards, sweetly smiled,
With the beauty Of Ahe skies
Mirrored in its dewy eyes!
Low winds whispering through the trees
Dreamy murmurings Of bees;
Notes of birds, and flow Of rilIs;
Music that the rain distils;
Your sweet cradle songs are these,
And unnnmbered melodies.
o, ye children of the wood,
Messengers of solitude,
Ye are dearer far to me
Than the nurslings of the lea!
For ye bring to heart and brain
Childhood's rosy dreams again.

We learn that the new crevasse Gust above Lob.

Cured short distance below. If, however, energy,
Industry and clear heads can avail, feel that

The West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter says Of this :
| The evee gave way about o'clock in the morn.

to seven feet The ends of the break have been Sc

that neighborhood are already worn out with their
exertions in closing the first one, while their crops
have suffered SO much that it will make little differ.
ence to them. The railroad, we fear will be the
greatest sufferer and it would not be at all surprising
if it were compelled to suspend operations.
| The Sugar Planter has the following:
Wonder what the Deputy United States Marshals
have been doing in our parish for the last week or
SO? Those Africans must be awfully hard to catch,
or the Deputies very dull We hope they won't take
away the Africans until they find them.
The East Feliciana Patriot of Saturday says:
The weather has been fine for the growth of crops,
and for the killing of grass, for week or ten days
most industriousy and we'll They have now fair
prospect for an abundant harvest judging from the
healthy and vigorous appearance Of young corn and
| cotton.
The Franklin Sun Of the 18th gives the following
account Of huge fish:
right smart chunk of fish was brought to town
| on Tuesday evening by Mr.. Grady. 1t was a gar
measured seven feet eight inches in length and it il
thought weighed from 200 to 300 pounds. We regret
that he was not weighed so that his real weight could
have been given, for we expect he was as large a
fish as was ever caught as far away from salt water
| as he was He was harpooued on the overflow hac K
of the plantation of Geo. Ellison Esq, on Turkey
creek, about six miles from town. He was extremely
poor, and on being boiled yielded scarcely oil. He
! must have come from distant parts through the
| Ouachita and Bu1f rivers.
| The jackson parish Times of the 18th says:
| The prospect for good crop hereabouts are re-
Parded as very fatterng. The effects of the late
rosts are scarcely pereeptible AS the Crescent
would say, the farmers are enthused-we mean as a
general thing. Some men, let them tell it, never
have good prospects for CROP lest they fall short in
management, and also that they may have the name
| of being an A. farmer.
