The GOLD OF Pixies PEAK.-All the late
accounts from the mining region are favora
ble touching che extent and richness of
the mineral deposits, and there is no doubt
but much profitable mining will be done
another year. Mr.. L. G. Wemple. Of Chi
cago, has just returned from the mines, and
he thirks the territory in which gold has
already been found is about fifty. miles
square, and that the quantity is sexhaustless.
The gold. bearing quartz lies between sand
stone, granite and mica slate, in layers from
few inches to foot or two. It is found
in almost all stages of decomposition, bat
generally it must be subjected to the stamp
ing process The great want Of the mines
during the season has been machinery to
pulverize the quartz. Mr., W.'s party Of four
have three hundred cords of gold-bearing
quartz piled, up, worth, they think, at least
$25, ,OOO. i.a7abfusib E PEE lsi7sg a-t iii
Mr., Wemple estimates the number who
will winter at the mines at five thousand.
Provision will be abundant, and good wages
can be obtained by all who are willing to
work. .1A I -.aHsg1I se 8

Too much credit should not be given to
John Brown for ,e pl IN of seizipg Harper's
Ferry and their establish ng a provisional
government. He was simply ths borrower
Of the idea-Gov. Wise is its author. Du-
ring the Fremont campaign this Democratic
Governor of,yrgina became very much ex,
cited with the fear that the gallant path
finder'' would be elected d-and lie proposed
in that event, to, do just about the same
thing that Brown has undertaken. He pro-
posed to seize The arsenal at EIarpers F.rry,
raise an army, march to Washington city,
and organize a provisional government Tor
the South. His fears Were not realized.
Fremont was rot elected --and the plan for
reasonable insurrection, like the courage
of his fellow citizens. .'oozed out John
Brown saw the plan adopted it without
thanking Gov. Wise tor his trea<onable sng.
