Rest Route to Pixies Peak,

We desire to call the attention of the travel
ing public to what is doubtless the best route to
the Gold Region from every point-East, n E.,
and s. E., Of this place. The great natural
thoroughfsres for travel have the advantage.
and it is particularly true in the present instance
The best natural road across the State from the
Father of Waters to Old Muddy, crosses the
Des Moines river at Eddyville. The long slen-
der Indian Trails for Council Bluffs and Santa
Fee, start here. 1t is at this place that the
great Mormon Trail for Utah commences. The
food of California emigration in 81, followed
the same natural channel. These are sufficient
proofs of the superiority of this route across
the State, go far as natural advantages are con-
serned.
The interests Of the travelling community,
have, IS might be expected, secured many ar
tifcial advantages upon this route over all
others.
]. The natural road and fine country have
secured . heavy line of settlem ents across the
State from side to side.
2. The Burlington and N. r. Rail Road has
reached point some 40 miles farther west than
any other road in the State.
3. A Daily Stage Line of Four Horse Coaches
runs from the terminus of thir Railroad to the
Mouth of the i'latte.
4. The Des Moines is Bridged on this route
at Eddyville, which is the only bridge on the
river between Keokuk and Des Noises City
distance by water of 200 miles. The Des
Aoines is q swift stream, 200 yards wide, which
IN the Spring carries great body Of water. 4
good safe bridge is an inducement too great to
be overlooked.
Travellers crossing at Rock Island will 6nd
this to be their best route-they can come to

No USE FOR DEAD MkH.-Ws see by the
proceedings of Congress that Mr.. Douglas de-
livered eulogy in the Senate, on the 10th, on
the Hon. Thomas L. Harris, deceased, Of this
State.
This 10 very kind, very considerable in Mr..
Douglas but the people hereaway would have
far better opinion Of his sincerity, had he ex-
hibited little more heart and sympathy before
Mr.. Harris decease. When posr Harris lay
upon his death-bed, and only few days before
he breathed his last, Mr.. Douglas was in the
c:;tv. and remained here several days; yet al
thouo, .rn!y few miles and q few hours dis
tant, Mr.. Dou. -las kept entirely aloof from bis
expiring comr.de. How natural, how touching
it would have been; NV indicative Of true
and manly feeling, tor Mr.. "ooglas 20 nave
forgotten politics for one day, a'o 70 navs
I. >keu kind farewell Of the man who u. steneo
his own death to elevate Mr.. Douglas! Ro~
such an interview would have gladdened poor
Harris last hours! But no |; Mr.. Douglas had
other business than that of speaking consola-
ton to dying friend, to attend to. those
who with essed his cruel apathy in this matter,
severely commented on il, and it was remarked
at the lime that !" Mr.. Douglas bad NO need Of
dead men,"
Mr.. Douglas now goes into the Senate Cham
Der, and talks in solemn mockery Of bis affec-
tien for the deceased. He could better have
shown it by visiting him on his dying bed
Such cruel sel6shness 40 Mr.. Douglas here man.
ifested, is unparalleled.-Spring6eld Journal.

HrIt has been question with us whether
appointment. partizan Of the Democratic party
could commit any crime SO black and damning
n to bring down upon himself the censure of
bis party press, or any prominent Republican be
70 circumspect as to escape its abuse and vitu-
psration. As long as he remains true to his
party, theving will not damage the character of
aDemocratic ofHce-holder in the estimation Of
svenal party press, which is alwaya ready to
screen him. As an instance it Is only necessary
v refer to DR.. Eads. Though defaulter to the

screened and defended him and threw dust in
the eyes Of the people.

how Nj. lverson happened to make Disunion

PACIFIC CRY, Mills County, Iowa, }
January 18th, 1859. (

Dasid Remsck, Esq, Burlington.
DEAR SlR:-1n reply to yours OF 7th inst,
in regard to the facilities for out-ittisng en-
lgrAnts to the Cherry Creek mines at this
point, would inform you that they are a.
good, it not better, than at any other point ON
the Missouri River. We are plentifully sup
pied with horses, mules, oxen, wagons and
Is good . stock Of groceries and other out
fitting goods rs can be procured any where, and
at as low rates. Horses are worth from $50 TO
$3.50; mules 500 to 4l2s; cattle 500 to S7S
per yoke; poneys $40 70 $50; wagons SIS to
500; drilling 10 and lie; osnaburgs Is and
lac; -four $3.50 to $500; meal csc; beans
s2,25; dried fruit e2,oo and $500; sugar loc;
coffee Ice; and all other goods in proportion.
Groceries may be bought on the Mississippi
cheaper tlan here but when you come to add
the cost and trouble Of hauling them across the
State and pulling down your teams, it will be
cheaper to purchase here.
The merchants on both sides of the river
have now good stocks of goods and are re-
plenishing all the time from below, as they are
well satisfied from advices they are daily re-
ceiving that the South Platte route will be
the main route to travel, and the opportunities
for recruiting stock at this point cannot be sur.
passed, as the grass on the Missouri Bottom 10
generally from Is to 20 days earlier than at
any other pout-lies Immediately opposite and
only II miles from the mouth of the Platte, and
has the best steam ferry there is ON the Missou-
ri river, which will cross emigrants on either
side Of the Platte they chose. For full de-
scrption of the route from the Missouri river
to the mines refer you to the Guide published
BY Oaks L Smith, which you can depend ON
as reliable.
Good wagons are rather scarce here at pre-
sent. Bacon is scarce at l2A cents per pound,
and it will pay better to haul few hundred
pounds extra than any other article that can
be brought here.
Yours truly, c. NUCKOLLS,
