Now, what | would like to do is, not to overlook
the differences between me and DR.. Cheever they
are no differences of words they are no light diff.

Now, I learned my Christianity sitting OF the

PIKE's PEAK EMlGRANTs RETuRNlNc.-A cor
respondent of the Missouri Republican, from
Alchison, Kansas, writes to that paper as fol
lows:
THE Salt Lake mail has just arrived, and by
the courtesy of Mr., Tracy, the sgens of the
Hockaday Mail line. I have just perused a letter
from ons or their agents at Cottonwood Springs.

of the Pixies Peak emigration. Large number.
of disappointed gold hunters we're already wend-
ing their way back to the pale Of civilization.
But this is not the worst feature of the business.
They come back as many of them went, without
any means of living on the way. Destitute of
provisions or means oil conveyance, disappointed
and utterly disheartened, with broken hopes and
blasted fortunes, %toil-worn, %foot-worn, and heart
weary, these wretJhed adventures came struggling
across the plains ia squads of dozens or scores,
begging at the stations for food to eat md a tenn
porary shelter from the driving storms. The vail
known generosity of the contractors en- this line
will DOUBTLESS save many a poor fellow from fam
ishing; bit what can they do to supply iPo wants
of the starving multitude2 Although these men
have acted with great indiscretion and i'm provi-
dence, in their premature and ill-stared journey
to the land of golden promiio, yet they are fellow
citizens, and the hand Of a Just and generous
Government should be stretched out to give them
aid id their extremity. AS yet no acts Of violence
have been committed, so far as l can learn. but as
the numbers of this crowd of starving wanderers
increase wha. assurance will there be against
scenes of rapine and plumber amongst the trains
and stations along the route to Pixies Peak I"
