IEAyENwoRTU ,Iune

LEAvENwoRrH, June 3.
The third Express coaches arrived here
last night from Denver City, in thirteen
days. The Express brought no gold. The
news from the mines is very uulavorable,
both as regards the gold deposits and agri
cultural resources of the country But
little or no gold being discovered the
opinion prevailed generally that the mines
had proved failure. Half the cabins in
Denver City and Auraria are vacant
There was but little business transaction
in either place, provisions being nearly
exhausted Numbers of miners are s,rk
iug for the mountains in search of game.
The express met about thousand teams
on their way to the mines. A number Of
foot passengers, who started without suili.
eient provisions, had died OF starvation on
the Smoky Hill route.

The St. Louis Republican, of the Goth,
congratulates the country upon the pros
poets Of this years harvest-prospects
which promise one of the most abundant
crops that ever blessed people. In con-,
nection with this, it thus talks to the far.
merS-
Merchants, fnaneers and farmers have
all relied upon this crop 70 bring the peo
pie out Of their difficulties. They have
all been making their calculations on .
heavy crop and fair demand for it, and
it is to be hoped that they will not be dis
appointed. ltseems to be well understood
that in this event, there is to be a general
settlement of old scores-the farmer is to
pay his merchant and mechanic, selling
his crop at such prices as it will command
in the market; the merchant of the inte-
rior is to convert his produce into cash as
speedily as possible, with slgle eve to
the payment of the Wholesale dealer, and,
as We have said, there is to be a general
balancing of accounts. All this sounds
very we'll and it should be done even at
some sacrifice. The farmer can afford. to
do it, if he has raised o double crop, of
which he has the prospect now, and the
country merchant should aim to square
everything and begin anew. The farmers
aud tradesmen of Missouri can Dc it, and
though it may pinch the inhabitants Of
other States, they should yet try to release
themselves from emharrasmen.s. We ear.
restly hope to see them do il.

The trial of FRED. n. HuBBrLL, which
was in progress when our paper went to
press last week, on the charge of having
stolen the county seal, terminated on
Thursday, by his acquittal.
During the progress of the trial quite a
number of witnesses were examined. and
large amount Of information was Incl.
dentally elected in regard to the conducting
ofour county affairs, which go.op prove tina,
the grossest disregard for the county's
welfare has characterized the action of
certain parties, whose names and crimes
are now well known. Developments were
made which disclosed the most cool and
calculating attempts to defrauG the tax
payers Of the county. Not only was
money freely offered, but brandy was
bought and drank by the gallon, in order
to produce proper degree Of cupidity to
perpetrate damnable outrages upon the
people.
We do not propose, at present. to make
any comments upon the developments
made during this trial, but will retain the
information for use at some future time.

solidate the party. Such platform will
serve to rally the party again as in times
past, around a common centre, whilst it will
entirely Danish those dssen,ions from our
and which, happily, are already nearly or
quite died out. Such platform will be
ust to ourselves, to the National Admins.
tration, and the Democratic Party of the
nation, whilst it can do no damage to any
one, not even those statesmen and their
friends who have disagreed with the Pre-
sident in some of his measures, though
sustaining his policy in all others. If
then, Democrats .teeiing as they do, that
the National Administration, in the main,
has conserved the best interests of the ma.
ton, surely nothing but the disorganizing
spirit can impel them to withhold an ex.
preston to that effect.
Knowing, as we do, what the general
feeling has been throughout our ranks in
this State for year Or SO past, we will not
ask the Convention 1T Des Moline to do all
