REP0R7S

On Monday last, we had the pleasure
of welcoming Messrs. JosEPH BAKER and
A. O. EbRARDs, who have just returned
40 this place from he gold mines.
These gentlemen are old and reliable
citizens of shis city, who, in company with
others Of Brownyille and vicinity, lef. last
October on an exploring expedition to the
newly discovered gold region.
This company went out principally for
the purpose of reporting to those cOntem-
plating a trip to that place the coming
spring. We.haye received and published
several letters from them, which were sa-
~.tisfactory to those interested, and known
TO- be perfectly reliable. Their state
7Denis verbally, however, are far more
~Ilattering than their written accounts, and
confirm all hat has heretofore been pub
iished in regard TO the extent and difu-
sion of the gold deposit. Mr.. Baker is
an old Californian, and is confident that
from s. oS10 can easily be made per
day ia the spring. Mr.. Edwards, at the
time he left, could average on his claim
"a. cents per hour with rocker, but owing
10 the. cold description of labor, (working
an the water in winter, could only work
for a short time per day. ,
The winter has been mild. and food
for cattle plenty. and the cattle returned
an as good order as when they left here.
This portion Of the company startedfron
Cherry Creek on the 18th of January
and arrived here on the 14th inst, max.
ing one month and Two days out. They
were not acquainted with the new anc
direct route, opened since they left, from
this city, and followed the Nebraska Cit,
fOute.
The object Of their return is to oh
tain better Quitting supplies, minin.

back early in the spring. We have III
IerstOOd that Mr.. Baker designs takin
his family with him.
They brought with them quite a curic

Congress.

The present session of Congress will
soon expire-4th of March. As we stat
ed a few weeks ago, nothing Of import
snce has been consummated. Severalim-
pOrtant Bills have passed the Senate,
some others the House, and thus they
hang, and viii most likely die in that con-
dition.
sgThe Pacific Railroad Bill is gone under.
An admit the necessity of the road, but
when il comes to be located-"ah, there's
the rub" Every locality is jealous of
another, and so they all 'agree to dis
agree" and 60 without the road rather
than this, that, or the other locality, shall
have It.
We have thought for years, and time
emily strengthens our opinion, that private
enterprise will yet take hold of that mai
ter, and complete it in half the time Con-
gress has already been talking about it.
There would be another advantage in IA
vOr Of private efforts. The national trea-
sury, or rather domain, would escape the
most extensive "stealings" known per-
haps 70 the 'oldest inhabitant."
Cuba is lost in the fog, because of a
"shortness" in the finances of Uncle
Sam. That too, we suppose, will drag
along until "toO late" and others less
entitled become possessed.
The Postage and Tariff questions are
upon the shelf; thoughts are yet enter
tanned By some that the latter may We
slip through. IT'S well that the former
should meet with defeat. There is nj
reason under the sun why our rates Of
postage should be increased. If the pro

Douglas on the Death Of Harris,

The Journal censures the speech of
Senator Douglas, on the death of Col.
Hafris, as wanting in feeling and rhetor-
ical fervor. The New York Times speaks
of it thus:
SENSE IN THE SENATE.-Two CLEANS
of practical good sense have lighted up
the dreary skies of Washington during
the present week. In announcing the
decease of Mr.. Harris, a distinguished
Representative from Illinois, Senator
Douglas deliberately disappointed crowd
of two thousand people who had gathered
in the galleries to show their sympathy
to the dead by their applause to the living.
He declined to use the grave as a plat
form for the display Of his ~eloquence, and
said whathe had to say briefly and decor
ously. For this let him receive the silent
gratitude of all respectable people.

Stage Line from KeOkuk, Iowa, TO

The following we clip from the Keokuk
Daily Journal:
"We we're yesterday shown a letter,
written by a prominent citizen Of Brown
vile, Nebraska Territory, to a gentleman
in this city, from which we extract the
following:
1--WE are making an effort TO secure q
stage line from your place to Brownville,
and another extending on to the Cherry
Creek gold mines. A company is alrea-
dy formed in this place, who will put on a
hne- of stages 10 the mines, early in the
spring. Would the people of KeOkuk
take hold of the matter with US go
We cordially lay this subject before our
readers, knowing that the enterprising
capitalists of u CITY, need buuan intims
alton as to their interest, 10 promptly re-
spond."
Our people have been actively engaged
for some time in the above enterprise,
and we are pleased to know that our Keo-
kuk friends promptly second their efforts.
The establishment of a line of stages, as
above contemplated, will aid materially
in eventually securing a Railroad across
the Northern tier of Missouri counties, &c
this place, the nearest on the river to the
newly discovered gold mines.
A writer in the Washington Union say
that every foot of avenue, street, and al
ley, laid down IN the original plan of the
city of Washington, actually belongs ii
fee to the United States. This point wa
settled by the Supreme Court in the cas-
of Van Ness Us. the United States ant

to this the Government owns foe hundrel

Canadians, whom they doubtless deem an
'inferior race" At Wisdorser, a few

The in fhe West-

The people of the Western States and
Territories are now in a very deplorable
financial condition, The fictitious pros
periiy which seemed everywhere to pre-
vail in the newer settlements of the West
previous to the financial revolution of the
summer of 1857, which was stimulated TO
the highest point by the wonderful avidi-
ty with which every man almost, in the
older States, who had or could borrow
money, invested it in western land specu-
%lations, has disappeared by the bursting
of the bubble. The penalty is a contin-
ued embarrassment and stringency in mo-
ney matters in the older States, and very
severe embarrassment in the new States
and on the frontier. The travelling cor
respondent of the Madison wisconsin
Journal writes thus:
To travel round among the farmers, as
we have done for the last four weeks, and
hear hard times repeated forty times a
day, an excuse for not taking a paper, or
paying up old scores; to see men, women
and children in threadbare and tattered
garments; papers pasted, boards nailed
on, Old hats or clothes stuffed into win
doWs where glass should be to find coun-
try stores closed, or doing very little ;
men working for their board or a mere
trife; promises to pay, whether verbal
or written, of no account; men even de-
nying their old notes; to see the closest
economy practised by all-those whose
large houses and barhs indicate consider
able means, as well as those living in ca
bins, to hear the dolorous complaints Of
taxes-one realizes the severity with
which the financial pressure is felt.
