One W. w. CLARKE. writing from Bur-
Engton under date Of Jan. Goth, very laeh-
rymosclv tells his suifcrinSs while attempt
ing to cross the Loup Fork, in the winter Of
81. His tale is very much in the style of
the private literature of the sea, and Just
about as truthful. This man, CLARKE, and
several others Of like calibre, on their re-
turn from a Buffalo hunt on the plains, took
possession Of ferry-boat, at Columbus,
and, in the month Of December, with the
river full Of ice, essayed to narigate the
Platte, from the crossing of Loupe Fork
down to where the main Platte empties into
the Missouri River. They paid dear for
| their utopian ideas, and this man CLARKE,
now attempts to cover up his chargrin, in
not being able to sail down the Platte with
his "Sloop," by saying that he was only
! trying to ferry Loupe Forke. 1t won't do,
the circumstances of the case arc too well
known here, for his pitifal tale to gain any
crcdcnce. We could scarcely expect a man,
WIZ hHuNS ho pettCt tudu W h"fi-
eating the Platte in the middle of one of
the severest winters ever known in the west,
to give correct statement of the topo-
graphy of any country, therefore We are
not surprised at the many misrepresentation
of the country on the North Side OF the
Platte, nor a. the exaggerated account of
his suiferings, as detailed in the letter "iore-
said. CLARKE, is evidently trump.

The keokuk Gate City is strongly Of
opinion that tho rcputed gold mines of
Cherry Creek, are no "grcat Shakes" after
all. From all recent information, it says it
is more and more inclined 10 believe that
all the reports about the abundance of gold
in the South Platte region have been set afoat
by spectators. Why? 1t reasons that,
because the gold regions of Iowa, which
Gas it says) obtained worldwide celebrity
in a few days, proved worse than u humbuy,
the gold discoveries of Cherry Creek, must
needs belong to the same class. Such rca-
sonins is as clear as mud, and is apprccia-
bic (?) by the meancst capacity. Would
that zee were the editor Of daily instead
of mech1y, that our pcrccptivc powers,
like those of the editors of diurnals on the
Mississippi, might enable US to separate the
wheat from the chaif at mere cursory
glance, and be able to realize, with our ewes
shut, the truth Of the aaagc, that .'all that
glitters is not gold" For the seeming out
Of spectators in town lots, etc.. commend

CT Mexican Presidents are like the heads
of Hydra. When one is cut of, two new
ones sprout up instead. Comoufort was de-
posed, when up started Zuloaga and Juarez,
each claiming to be his successor. Zuloaga
is deposed in turn, and up start Miramon
and Echegaray, each claiming to be his sue
cessor. Juarez holds the Custom. House,
Miramon the Capitol, and Echegaray the
Troops. One has men without money, an
other money without men, and the third has
the machinery of Government without means
to put it in motion. Each wants to ncpo-
tate a perpetual Treaty with the United
States, that will perhaps last three mon tbs,
by which time each will probably hayea new

War and Glory.

Many of our public men and private men
look upon Cuba and lis 100000 chattels
with the same longing eye that the crew of
a buchaneer used to look upon n Spanish
galleon laden with ingots and gems. Cuba
stealing begins to rage IN the capitol at Wash
inston. As the philosophers stone turned
everything it touched to gold, so Congress
turns every subje it touches to gas. Col.
Lawrence Marcelus keitt--these loquacous
tillibasters are all Colonies, at least-propo-
ses to declare war upon Spain and take the
Gem of the Antilles ut once. His high soul
ed chivalry will not stop to buy it. That
would be huckstering style Of acquisition,
fit only for Yankee merchants and manufac-
turcrs. So, he proposes to capture it, like
an ancient crusader or, rather, to steal it,
like the modern Captain Kidd. Colonel
kett says his voice is still for war! Sam
uel Scipio Cox-he being for general as
sault upon Cuba, Central America and all
Europe, must be a Brigadicr--is of ike
mind with his gallant ally from the Pamc,-
10 region. General Cox declares that
..maniicst destiny democratic expan.
sion," and the American Eagle, all demand
the Immediate acquisition of Cuba. Brave
nam that he is, he prefers capturing it on
''e hCih VI Ahais w purchasing IL IN market
overt. SO, Cox's voice, like that of keitt-
Phcrbus, what names lis for war. ..
Now, to men who don't know Cox and
keitt, their proposal to fight half of Europe
and a considerable share of America, at one
and the same time, may begct the suspicion
that they are rash young men. Far from i'll
1t is but the natural outgush of their tried
bravery. They are men of unique valor.--,
Both have illustrated their peculiar style Of
courage on the floor of the present Congress.
keitt, for instance, in the battle with Grow,
when, long ere the contest was over, he was
discovered on n sofa in remote part of the
field, looking like dispirited rooster who
had been somewhat whipped and n good deal
scared, and felt no desire to ego in'' and
renew the fight. And Cox, when, as Has
kin fayed him and Campbell wasted him,
for his Lecompton treachery, WINGED and
whined and whimpered like scourced
spaniel, pitiable object to all beholders.-
Yes, we must take Cuba. Cox must attack
Spain and take the island, while Keitt keeps
England and France at bay--he having
an aptitude for that line Of warfare in the
Brooks and Sumner affair." go = ,.,,. nj
In all seriousness,s if these two "young
gents" could only see themselves as others
see them, they would strike their fillibuster
tag, haulin their long ears, and stop max
ing asses Of themselycs.--N. K. 1ri5.
