Arrival Of Gold Dust from Pixies Peak

ICorresponaence Of the Missouri Demoe rat
LEAvENwoRrH CRY, April Is, 1859.
Everett Smith had just returned from
the mines, bringing five hundred and
forty dollars in gold dust, the product
of his own labor. Mr.. Smith has been
in the mines about three months, and
considering the season of the year,
and the almost utter impossilility of
mining extensively with the thermome-
ter at zero, his success is regarded as
very favorable, lie has prospected
placers that he feels confident will
yield largely when the season admits
of their being worked. Gentleman of
this city vouch for the reliability of Mr..
Smiths reports. Mr.. S. returns to the
miues in two weeks.
a letter from Gen. Larimer, well
known citizen Of this place, dated
Denver City, March 10, was received
this evening at the Times office. 1t
gives most favorable account of the
gold as well as agricultural resources
Of the country, which he took especial
pains to explore. The gold prospect
is represented to3 be particularly
cheering. Trains from New Mexico,
loaded with provisions and general
merchandise were constantly arriving
in the various mining settlements.

That is precisely the opinion which
we gather from the press, from all quar-

gans which have been cndcavorlng to
bolster mp the DougIas-Forney cause,
will not even deign TO notice it. Even
as a political fizzlc, it was Of the most
weak affair that we have ever known.
The only paper in the Union that
takes any pains to notice the affair at
length, is Forney's Press. The de-
monstration may be considered as most
fortunate for the true National Demo
cracy, rs the inclination and procliyi-

become patent, and hence are more
easily watched and managed. The

they would at once leave the party
without any further ado, and join
the Black Republicans.

From the n. Y. Tribune.

A day or two ago q broker, doing
business in New Canal street, in
great state of excitement, appeared
at the police headqnarters,and set forth
that he had been swlndled out of
$4,000 by two men, one of whom
represented himself as a police officer.
1t appeared from the statement Of the
broker, that man entered his place
Of business, and informed him in very
confidential manner that he had IS, 900
worth of gold dust that he had stolen,
and that he was DESTROYS Of getting rid
of, and that if he (the broker) would
buy it, he could have it for $780,
The man exhibited about $40 worth OF
gold dust as sample, which, having
been examined and pronounced good,
was transferred to the brokers' safc.--
The two then went out and entered an
unfrequented alley in the neighborhood
where the" gold dust" was weighed,
and the $500 paid down, closing the
bargain. Soon alterward a second par
ty visited the broker, and, represent
ing himself as policeman, made in
quiries respecting the stolen gold dust.
The broker quaked in his BOTS, but
the matter was settled amicably-Mr.
Broker paying the policeman $500 as
hush money.
The amazemcnt Of the broker can be
better imagined than described upon
his discovering that the "gold dust
was nothing more than fine brass FL
ings! The person who sold the filings
WAS hunted up and arrested, and taken
before Justice Kelly at Jefferson
Marketpolice court, to answer charge
O. false prctences that had been prefer
red Upon an examination, the accus-
ed was discharged from custody. the
charge not being proved.
The broker appeared before Deputy
Carpenter, when all the detectives
were brought up, but the man Of mon
ey failed to indemnity any one of them
as the person to whom he paid the
$500 hush money. The person who
sold the filings is we'll known to the
police, and acts in the capacity of stool
pigeon.

Another Attem pt to Assassinase Napoleon

INAUGURATION To low A.

The idea entertained 10y many that
there is at present little or no 'mmlgra-
ton to Iowa is altogether groundless.
We have it from the most reliable
sources that throughout the entire
State new accessions to our population
in the way Of immigration from other
states and from the old country are
constantly being made; that new tracts
of land are being daily taken up, new
farms being opened and cultivated and
new villages springing up. 1t is true
that we are not enabled to chronicle
such grand stampede from the Fast
TO Iowa az was the case in 55,-'56 and
81, but at the same time the increase
is now of that steady and permanent
character which characterizcs the
healthy growth Of any new state
Many Of the wagons which we set
down rs Pixies Peak teams contain, in
reality, new accesslons to our State
In our immediate vicinity, perhaps we
do not notice SO steady an increase of
population as could he desired, and for
this reason the lands are yet held at
so high figure that actual settlers DO
not feel disposed to purchase, and
hence they 60 farther back where
equally as good farming lands can be
obtained for less than half the money
at which the vacant real estate Of the
river counties is held and here let us
state that the only way permanent set
Elements can lie secured to the river
counties is by reducing the price at
which lands are held by spectators,
thus placing them within. the reach Of
those who wish to purchase them for
farming purposes. Will holders please
bear this important fact in mind.
The Iowa City Republican notices
the fact that twenty families arc com
ing from one town in Pennsy lvania, to
settle on q tract in johnson county.
and We know Of another instance
where . colony Of upwards OF one hun
dred persons from the same State, are
about to colonize in one Of the inte-
rior counties, while in the counties
along the Northern and Western
boundaries of the State, are constantly
receiving new accessions of farming
population. The prospects of Iowa as
far a. immigration is concerned,are not
behind those Of any Western State
The increase is steady, even, and OF
such character as will have telling
effect. The spirit of speculation in
: real estate, in Iowa, is dead, and We
trust 10 90 deeply buried, that it will
not soon arise to blast the best inter-
ests Of the State in keeping from the
hands of farmers al Of that class OF
property which by right belongs to
them. and which they would other
wise buy up for actual use, at living
rates.
Tho future Of Iowa is yet Of the
most fair and promising character
Our State il constantly being devel-
oped, and it, true resources being
brought forth, and never was there a
better time for the eastern farmer to
leave his WORKOUT lands and come to
Iowa, and settle upon her rich and
fruitful soil.
