The Very Latest from the Gold
Mines.


On the first page Of to-day's paper, will
be found the very latest, and we are
quite sure the most reliable and satisfac-
tory intelligence from the Nebraska and
Kansas Gold Mines, yet received. Mr..
Lawrence is known as one of the earliest
adventures to pixies Peak" has ex-
plored the whole country as thoroughly,
and Extensively as any other man. In
addition, he is an old Californian, with
gold country experience. Therefore, any
information obtained from him is of the
most reliable character. The other gen.
tlemen, DR.. Kunkle, Mr.. Winner and Mr..
Hall, we may say, are men of equal char
acter and standing, and entitled to the ut
most credence.
Upon their reports, and exhibition of
the "dust'' we have no hesitancy in say
ing to our friends and readers here, and
in the States, that the new Ell Dorado
has in store, gold "enough for each,
enough for ALL"
We certainly can, without any impro-
priety, OF fear of subjecting ourself to the
charge Of "gassing," call attention again
TO this point, as one possessing many SUI
perior advantages as one from which to
outfit and start. A portion of the party,
just in from the mines to this place, start
ed from Leavenworth, and a portion from
Omaha. Taking a geographical view of
the various routes, on their return, they
came to Brownyille, and are so well pleas
ed and satisfied as to the distance, and in
fact, everything connected with the route
from Brownville to the gold mines, that
they will return from this point about the
Is, or middle of nextmonth. They have al
ready made purchases of teams, and or
dered their purchase of supplies at this
place.
The portion of the company going out
from Leavenworth, were forty-three days
-ox teams, however,-in making the
trip. That portion starting from Omaha
mule teams-were twenty nine day:
out. They made the return trip from
Denver City to Browngille, in ttcenty days
with worn out mules at that, some Of
which gave out before reaching here.

Mn. EDITOR:-
The statutes of nearly all the States
and Territories in the Union expressly
prohibit men from appearing in Court as
Attorneys at Law, until they undergo a
preliminary examination, and are admit
ted as members of the Bar. Our own
Territorial statute excludes all who have
not been admitted as lawyers, from ever
the most inferior courts. Here we find
an important provision, which should new
er be repealed; even a more stringent
law in regard to qualification, might be
enacted without detriment to the legal pro-
f@ession, or to the community at large.
Now ask yourselves, what the Legis-
lature of Nebraska has done for the Med
ical profession? Your answer must be,
nothing. But l am DEPRESSING, and must
come to the consideration of Medical

tigation, touching a subject Of such vas

language can even express its importance
much less portraying 1t in exaggerated col

Green. Chamhers & Ga.

This extensive business firm, located at
Peru, in this county, is deserving notice.
They are, without doubt, doing business
more extensively than any other firm in
the county. They have an excellent
Touring mill now in successful operation,
at which is manufactured so barrels of
flour per day; a steam saw-mill turning
out any quantity of excellent lumber a
single machine of the latest and most
improved patent several circular saws
by mean Of which lath, pickets for fen
cling, railing &C., are produced in i'm
mense quantities. In addition to the
above, they have recently opened out a
stock of Dry Goods, Groceries, sc. Such
men are valuable acquisitions, of which
any point should be proud. Nebraska
cannot have too many such; and besides,
localities thus favored should feel the
imperative necessity Of sustaining men
who invest their means, and devote their
time to enterprises calculated to assist ma
terially in building up the country.

banner that has, heretofore, in the days
of Washington and Jefferson, led on to
after victory. even down to the
year 1856.
Stephen A. Douglas, though proudly
claimed BY the State Of Illinois, yet is
truly enthroned in the hearts of American
citizens; endeared to them by ties that
cannot be broken, will lead on 70 victory;
the idea that he is to be overthrown-it
matters not in what manner-;o the cen
trary notwithstanding.
We invite attention TO another view of
the subject of the nominee of the Charles
ton Convention, viz: If the Administra-
Democrats do rally around the common
platform of Popular Sovereignty is it
not impossible, and viii it not be suicidal
to think of nominating any one who has
proved himself faithless to the doctrine ?
Such a one would most certainly fail to
command the strength of the party. Sue
cess cannot be expected with a leader
known to be inimical to its growth and
expansion; one, who by his public acts,
either by inaction, silence, or otherwise
retarded its advancement. This is tru-
ism, solid and impregnable; It's denial
impossible. To place a man at the head
Of the Democratic party, destitute of the
testimonials of fealty and friendship toits
liberal and Constitutional principles, is
downright lunacy! We cannot believe
DemOcrats-UniOn loving Democrats
National Democrats, will infict such a
calamity upon the party. The conse-
quences could but prove ruinous in the
extreme.
To retain inviolate the strong hold up
on the affections of the people, and to
guarantee success, the nominee of the
Convention should be a man who has new
er faltered, v~ascillated, or hesitated in
his allegiance to the laws of the land
faithful to the palladium of our liberty
the Constitution; the ~implacable enemy
of negro equality" the firm, consistent
advocate Of the rights of the people, and
the sleepless sentinel on the watch-towel
of States Rights, and Popular Sovereign.
ty. Such is STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS.
Harmony in the Convention is of the
utmost Importance, and we desire the
nominee to be the unanimous choice. LIE
the deliberations be, harmonious action il
the coming contest. We speak the sen
timents of hundreds of thousands, whel
we say Stephen A. Douglas is the man
the most available mar to head the Dem
ocratic party in 1860. His fame as a gi
| gantic statesman, is by no means compass
sed within the narrow limits of his owl
State, or the great and growing West
r Go to the frigid confines of the North, o
: the sunny slopes Of the South, and yor
will learn that the name of Stephen A
5 Douglas is waited upon every breeze
: and that he has a place in the hearts 0
the american people; that he is tn
2 friend of Democracy and the Constitu
ton; that those who oppose him are in
: terested politicians, and the avowed enc
mics of right, justice, equally, liberty an,

: We repeat, Stephen A. Douglas is I'll

The Difference in Favor OF the

WHAT HAS BECOME OF CAPIToL1UM
The above inquiry has been made by
those apparently interested in reference
to the pencilings of that anonymous indi-
vidual, who has been heretofore so pune
tual and regular in his correspondence
with the Advertiser,
his neglect was not caused for want of
proper subjects, for they have been abun-
dant, and some of them of the most ex-
citing character, giving trouble and alarm,
not only to those Immediately implicated,
but, also, to those who have the interests
and stability of a we'll regulated commu
nifty at heart.
Persons must sometimes suffer, and
render themselves as sacrifices for the
good of their country.
Capitolium, so far as l have been able
to Judge. has not been eight" or on a
''bust,'' sufficiently to cause such dereIic-
ton of duty. Neither has his mind, en-
ergy, or ability been engrossed in daily
Snorts,' y for he has not been receiving any
nor taken none, as yet, but would surely
not refuse, during these days, to reason
ably participate with hisfriends who have
certainly been the more favored recip-
tents.
Neither has he been idle, nor lazily
Willing away his hours in a useless ex-
penditure of swift passing time, bat has
been ~endeavoring to do his country service
by the occupation of his mind in a differ
n sphere and mode of composition, al
though by no means more interesting and
satisfactory than the pleasing exercise of
penciling the Capitolium correspondence.
WOMAN IN GESTLEMEN's ATTIRE.
No little sensation has been produced
within tie past few days, among our wor-
thy, and modest citizens, in consequence
of the appearance of a woman coStumed
in the dress of the sierner sex.
She approached the counter of the sa-
loon, with the same familiarity, and ap-
parent knowledge of those who accompa-
MED her. called her associates to partake
of the usual beverage generally partaken
of by gentlemen. smoked her cigar, and

M Territnrial Fair

In giving notice for receiving proposals for apOint
at which to held tho Territorial Fair in September
next. n typographical error was made in saying 18th
February" instead Of "l5th Of March" as was in
tended. The object Of even so early a date was that
the premium list might be gotten out immediately.
IN order to afford an opportunity to competitors to
prepare for crops. As slme dissatisfaction has been
manifested as to the time given, it is thought best
to extend it. Twill therefore receive proposals up
to April 18th, 1859.

INSTRUMENTATION.

A convention of delegates, composed
of a representation from several of the
Northern counties of Nebraska, was re-
Gently held at Omaha, which took strong
grounds against the South cutting loose
from this portion of the Territory.
If we supposed for a moment, that all
your buncomb blowing and excitement
would amount TO anything, our citizens
would wake to a sense of their duty, and
s%trenuOusly oppose all such ~pretentions on
the part of the few who are now leading
the southern populace astray from the
path of rectitude and right.
Your people might as well turn their
attention to some question of more impor-
lance to them, and surer to be carried in
TO effect; for the probabilities are that
they are spending their energies in vain.

MURDER TRIAL.

The trial of the persons who are accus-
ed of participating in the hanging of Bra
den and Daily, for stealing horses and
other offences, is yet progressing.
A jury has not been empannelled, and
the probabilities are, that 1t will be very
difficult to collect men who have not form
ed or expressed an opinion.
Several days will probably intervene pre-
vious to the commencement of the invest
igation, and examination of witnesses,
who are numerous.
The Herndon House has gone into 9TH
er hands, as managers, and Messrs. Keith
and Coffman have retired.
DR.. Miller and Lyman Richardson, will
hereafter conduct the business, and be-
come the proprietors of the Hotel. The
probabilities are that its management
will be well conducted, and the House
sustain its already wide reputation.
From the character and known perse-
verance Of the present proprietors, the
House must and will sustain itself.
C~oLoNIANs.
Already many persons and teams are
here making preparations for the Colona,
or Nebraska gold mines.
A company came in yesterday from
the neighborhood of St. Joseph, also, an
agent from Wisconsin, looking to the in
terests of the company to follow.
A wealthy eastern Express Company,
have sent their advance agent, to make
the requisite preparations for their bust
ness, between the CoIona mines and Oma-
ha.
To-day, 9th, the snow is about ten in
ches in depth, and the sleighs are rapidly
being brought into use, both for pleasure
and profit.
Look out for a break up of old Muddy.

now their welcome visage will be

the fruit Of their labors.
They are also to be seen with the nee
essary team Of mules, parading The streets
as a trial of their match and fitness for
the journey, on that broad road where
thousands walk together.
THE LAWYER.
The lawyer has been already heard to
utter the Judgment, that he could find an
abundant support at his profession IN the
litigation and settlement of the difficulties
of the contentious and obstinate client,
who amply feels his recently acquired i'm
portance by coming in possession of an
abundance of the filthy lucre, from the
golden sands gathered by his own per-
severance. His high anticipations of
promotion also buoys him up, in his own
estimation, and he goes on his way re-
joicing.
THE GAMBLER.
The gambler, too, with his decks, wheels,
straps. and his usual accoutrements, isalso
on his winding way to an anticipated for
tune, and that, too, with much more risk
than that class of professionals generally
are, because he has with him his wife and
little ones to share his fortune, of either
accumulation or decrease of the treasury
filed by his past lucky exertions.
He also walks with an air of high and
prominent hopes of future success in the
wheel of chance.
THE RADER
The shrewd and energetic trader is
also on the alert in ~stationing himself on
the frontier, with the necessary force and
assistance to conduct a driving business in
any and every capacity which his hands
and mind may find to encounter.
He is preparing to purchase and dis
pose of stock, traffic in small articles and
become a general trader in every variety
of notions, where he may be able to turn
a rapid penny, with great or small profits
according to the sh~rewdness of the Gus
toner.
THE ~FoorMAu.
The isolated knapsack man, destitute
Of the requisite means to defray the ex-
penses of stage fare, and the accompany
ing hotel bills, has already set out on his
journey in searsh of the promised golden
ophir of Western Nebraska.
Silently and moderately he wends his
way, without great parade or extensive
preparation, further han to procure the
necessary substance to sustain him from
one settlement to another, where he can
desire, for a distance of at least two hun
dred miles, and reach his destination far
in advance of all others.
OMAHA APPEARANCE.
So wags the little world in and around
our city.
Strangers are constantly making their
appearance; cur streets begin to assume
something of a semblance to olden times,
in the way of business and life, which
cheers the chap-fallen into renewed ener-
gy and active perseverance.
The bouyant hope, which has so long
lain dormant and inactive, has apparently
awakened from It's slumber, and now rails
es the apathetic into renewed life and
c~heerfulness. and the heretofore %contorted
countenance, begins to assume It's natural
