On Sunday afternoon our Main street was
awakened from its usual christian propriety
BY the rapid entree Of half dozen wagons
Of Pixies Peak appearance. The child
rem supposed . circus WAS STRIVING, the old
folks knew "tho boys" were returning and
ia . short time the town generally was al
the foot Of the street congratulating thirteen
Of our gold hunters on their safe arrival At
home. The delegation consisted Of II. A.
Rogers, j. II. Kinnairt, Joel Amsdcn, Ed.
Mckinney, Sile NJ. Hibbard, Geo Church,
Jasper Benton, V. Schmeck, Vim. Ben
ham, -Ennis, Rayn Davidson, d. Wool
liscroft and j. G. Fales. With the excep-
ton Of Church, who had inflaned eyes from
exposure 10 wind and dust, all of them
hooked as hearty as bears and good deal

spread their faces, but it did not take long
70 discover that they carried the same hearts
they took with them and universal shak-
ing Of hands, shouts Of laughter, a running
FIRE Of questions and . .tew other cercmo-
MES not exactly appropriate on the sabbath,
except in case Of revolution, completed
the reunion and the wcaried men were
allowed 70 go to their homes. T. Styles
and Silas Strahway came back few days
ago. The McCraneys, James Redding and
his son Ezra have also returned.
We have had no time to talk much with
the returned, but they bring the same gen.
aral report Of "Humbug." They got with
in $50 miles Of Denver when the returning
tide Of enigrants was too strong to be re-
sisted. Blythe, Tomlinson, Fielding, Ian.

went on, and will probably remain in that
country till Autumn. The boys say they
have seen the country, enjoyed good health,
got home alive are satisfied with the show,
and don't want to 60 again! The trip has
cost some money but most Of them are
young and can soon recover what they
hase lost in the experiment. Some persons
in town laugh At the prodigals for being

money to pay expenses. There is no man
wise enough to tell . forged letter COM

those who relied on the pretended state

hundreds Of other persons in public and
private life, should not be spoken Of as

In the name Of McGrcgor, and the Amer

0sv. II. Clay Dean.
This gentleman is fayorably referred to
by the Express & Herald as candidate for
Gubernatoril nomination At the State Dem
ocrstc Convention. We do not agree with
the Herald in its selection Of Mr.. Dean
He i IN able man and doubtless q sound
democrat, but in common with III the
presses Of our party, we have condemned
the conduct Of ministerial politicians, and
though les We are informsd) Mr.. Dean has
nsvsr besn charged with preaching politics
from the pulpit, We are decidedly Of opinion
that b mixes more politics in his general
conduct than becomes an ambassador Of
Christ, and his nomination would be a
qu0si-indorsement At least Of that fusion Of
clerical and political influences which Ill OF
us deplore. Nh .
We differ with the Herald, and rule Mr..
Dean out Of the list Of our favorites with
peat respect to the opinion Of our cotem.
porazy and with kind regards for the distin.
guished gentleman whose name it has
placed before the public; but believing his
nomination would establisha precedent not
oonscnant with democratic theory We do
not hesitate to place the Times on The re-
cord against II.
