In the Senate, Mr.. Hatch introduced a bill,
which was read the first time, providing for
the renewal and to regulate the final payment
of the founded debt of the State. The Presi-

the Special Committee to revise and codify the
Tax laws: Messrs. Phelps, Hatch, Taylor,
Langdon, Buckland, Garfield and Westcott.
In the House, nothing was done after the
morning readings, except the discussion of a
bill allowing Justice, of the peace a per centage
on collections without Judgment, which is still
in progress. A popularity in this discussion
is that the only speeches in opposition are from
lawyers-and the non-legal members are COM

wheutke,s PEAK Gold mines.

There is considerable excitement in many
portions of the country, caused by recent adj
vices from this newly-discovered gold region.
Ora visit last week to Lima, Kalidn, &c, we
were surprised to learn of the large numbers
who-were making preparations for visiting the
mines next spring. This excitement and
threatened stampede for Pixies Peak viii not
be diminished in Ohio by the publication of a
recent letter of Mr.. GILL, former editor of the
addressed to his successor, in which a glowing
aeepunt of the wealth of these mines is given.
We extract the material portions of the letter,
which is written at LeaYenworth, Kansas, and
dated Deco:
s<sSince my last letter a large amount of ex-
citing and gratifying intelligence has been re-
ceifed from the Pixies Peak gold mines. This
intelligence establishes beyond controversy the
fact that gold exists there In sufficient quantity
to make mining profitable.
ia 8Ir. HEWET writes that he has been at
the mines but a few months and has made
$3.50. With a "Long Tom" he says he can
easily make from S15 to $40 per day. He adj
xises his friends to come early in the spring
and to pay no attention to unfavorable reports.
"5Ir. GRAHAM, a respectable gentleman
writes that he has prospected in the vicinity CT
j.. Cherry Creek for a distance of so miles around
and found gold every where. He says by
working six hours a day a miner can make i've
dollars q day any where he prospected. Those
who work with pans, he says steadily make
$50 q week.
hsNr. GREENINa came to Leavenworth from
the mines last week. We saw and conversed
with him. He says gold is found in the bot
49, III Co. coo4 ,,p6nr tho
surface; alsD on the banke and IN the beds OF
streams. He brought with him some OF the
~gold1mhioh is of the finest quality. 1t is in
inc particles like scales, showing it to be work
ings from some large fountain. The company
thatscame in with him brought about three
hundred dollars in gold. He reports water IN
abundance. Timber is plenty, mostly pine and
cotton wood. The bottoms are wide and the
soil rich. The game consists, principally, OF
bear, elk, deer, antelope, turkey, prairie chick
en-, buffalo, &c, affording sport enough certain
ly for. any sportsman.
zxsThe richest digsins are said to be on Cherry
Creek which is 60 miles north of Pixies Peak
and 562 miles from Leavenworth. Cherry
Greek is in Arrapahoe County, Kansas, and
A0lzmiles south Of the Nebraska line. Ih
county seat of Arrapahoe is at Denver city, st
the mouth of Cherry Greek. This new city,
only two or three months old, already has $50
houses"
Sir. GILL concludes his letter with this SEN
si5ie and practical hint to his old friends in
Ohio who are laboring under this malady of
gold fever:
ri shall neither advise friends to come or
stay. The statements [ make are given as I
received them. 1 think they are reliable, but
every man should weigh well the consequences
aid ascertain if possible whether the prospect
gain would be likely TO balance the hard
ships and trials he must necessarily encounter"

Six Hundred and Sixty Four Thou
sand Three Hundred and Ten Dollars

This enormous sum, says the Logan Grzette,
nearly two-thirds of u million of Dollars-has
been added to the annual taxes of the people
of Ohio, since the Republicans obtained CON
troll of the State. The Democratic Legislature
was compelled, out of compassion to the toll
ing and o'erburdened people to make the pay
ment of taxes semi-aEnual-thus giving six
months additional time in which the poor man
may accumulate the exorbitant amount which
Republican rulers exact from the proceeds of
his toll. Just think of it! A party comes
into power with loud professions of Economy,
and with the most outrageous abuse of their
opponents for p~rodigality. In less than four
years, instead of diminishing the public bur-
den, they increase it by the annual sum of
TWO-THIRDS OF A MILLION OF DOL
LARS! Think of it, tax-payersl

Fever and Ague,

from which mankind suffer over a large part of the
globe, is the consequence of a diseased action in the
system, induced by the poisonous miasm of vegetable
decay. This exhalation is evolved by the action of solar
heat on wet soil, and rises with the watery vapor from
it. While the sun is below the horizon this vapor
fingers near the earth's surface, and the virus is taken
with it through the lungs into the blood. There it acts
as an irritating poison on the internal yiscera and e1;
creting organs of the body. The liver becomes torpid
from the blood. Both the virus and the bile accumulate
in the circulation, and produce violent constitutional
disorder. The spleen, the kidneys, and the stomach
sympathize with the liver, and become d%isordered also.
Finally, the instinct of our organism, as if in an attempt
to expel the noxious infusion, concentrates the whole
blood of the body in the internal excretories to force
them to cast it out. The blood leaves the surface, and
rushes to the central organs with c~ongestiye violence.
This is the CHILL. But in this effort it fails. Then the
FEVER follows, in which the blood leaves the central
organs and rushes to the surface, as if in another effort
to expel the irritating poison through that other great
excretory-the skin. In this also it fails, and the sys-
tenn abandons the attempt exhausted, waiting for the
recovery of strength to repeat the hopeless effort another
day. These are the fits or paroXysms of FEVER AND
AGUE. Such constitutional disorder will of course I'M
dermine the health if it is not removed.
We have labored 10 iEd, and have found, an antidote,
