Gold Mines.

Reports from the mines are still fiat
tering, and arrivals of dust on the in
crease. Within the last week or ten day:
over $4,000 in dust has been received
at various points along the river.
The following we clip from the St. Jo-
seph West of the 31st ult.
We were favored on Yesterday evening
by a call from Mr. J. w. Zigler, and one
other gentleman who had Just arrived on
the St. Mary, from the mines. They left
Denver City two weeks ago last Sunday
and arrived at Council Bluffs just two
weeks from the time they started. They
had worked in the mines-Gregory's
Diggings-iust six weeks. They were
four ia company, viz: ]. w. Zigler, G.
NJ. Zigler, w. A. Dewey, and D. F.
Spane.
They could not themselves tell exactly
what they had made. They have with
them between ten and twelve thousand
dollars in dust about this we know there
is no mistake. This amount, however.
is really but a small portion of what they
made-is indeed but little more than they
sold their claim for when they left. They
sent in what they had on hand at different
times, during their stay in the mines.
They had a claim one hundred feet in
extent fifty feet of it they sold soon af-
ter they discovered it, for $4,000. The
other fifty feet they worked until they
left, when they sold that for $4,000.
Mr.. Zigler had-a bookin which he had
kept an account of the sums taken out by
the company for a number of days. From
this book he permitted us to copy the fol-
sci, $40, $50, 500, 1924, $3.50, 1895,
$40, $500, SI76, $64, $50, 1925, $24O,
S242, 1885, S212, $3.50, 1925, 1885,
1886, $165.
These amounts show what was done on
different days.
Besides the claim which they worked,
and part of which they sold, as stated
above, they were lucky enough to buy a
claim for $50, which they afterwards sold
for $4,000.
These gentlemen are all from South
Bend, Indiana, and give more substantial
evidence of having done well than any
we have seen from the mines. They left
for their homes on the cars yesterday ev-
ening, and say that a part of them-per-
haps all--wiIl return to the mines in the
spring.
The accounts they give of the mines
agree very well with what we have been
reporting for some time past. They think
there are between thirty and forty thou
sand persons in the mines, only about one
in a hundred of whom are making money.
Very many were doing nothing because
they were unwilling to work for the wa
ges they could get.

Peace Concluded in EnrOne.

In our last, we announced the suspen-
sion of hostilities until the 18th of this
month. Later dates brings the news of
declaration of peace between the belliger-
ent powers of Europe.
The following telegram from Napoleon
to the Empress briefly states the provi-
sions Of the treaty:
VALEeGIo, July IA treaty of peace
has been signed between the Emperor of
Austria and myself, on the following ba-
sis: The Italian confederation is to be
under the honorary presidency Of the
Pope. The Emperor of Austria comedies
his rights in Lombardy 70 the Emperor
of the French, who transfers them to the
King of Sardinia. The Emperor of Aus
tria preserves Venice, but she will form
an integral part of the Italian ~confedera-
ton. Signed, NAPOLEON.
The Vienna correspondent Of the Lon
don Times says, that the representatives
of Austria, France and Sardinia, will soon
meet at Zurich to conclude the treaty Of
peace. There viii be no Congress of the
great powers called to ratify the treaty,
the Emperors of France and Austria hav-
ing agreed to settle the difficulty without
the ~interventien Of neutral powers.
The New York Herald, in an editorial
on the effects Of the peace on the com
mercial interests, says they may be of
serious import to. the country if we do not
meet them calmly and with foresight
Viewing the results of war, and It's sud-
den termination in the same aspect with
the result of the Crimean war, attended
as they are with failure in breadstufs and
provision speculations, and with a reck-
less speculation in imports, they are not
without menace to our commercial affairs.
The close of the present wal leaves US
in imminent danger of another panic if
we do not exercise the utmost caution to
avert it. But in one respect the war has
benefited US; it has increased the gov
eminent revenue considerably, at a very
opportune moment.

Of the Democracy Of this COUNT,
Nebraska advertiser., 1859-08-04
kansas constitutional convention,

A0HS0S OOhtNA%AOA
The latest intelligence fromthe Kansas
Constitutional Convenlion is, that that
body has. failed: to memorabilia Congress,
making Platte River the northern bound
airy Of the State.
Prompted solely by a desire to promote
~the.special interests of the Southern por-
tiono Nebraska, and believing that the
annexation of that portion of Nebraska
toKansas would result in great gOod;-
and believing further that Kansas was
anxious for the consummatiOn Of the OBJ
iect, we have heretofore warmly advocat-
{. ed that measure. As Kansas, through
her Representatives in Convention as
sembled, has spoken against the project,
and being unwilling to gain, or even ask
admission where not wanted, wei r free
to say, that we would be the last to con-
sent, under the circumstances, to the ar
rangement, though sure it could be effect
ed by Congressional effort. While these
are briefly our views upon annexation, y
we shall go to work as zeaIously, privately
and as a journalist, to secure the. admis-
sion of Nebraska as a State, as we have
heretofore labored to secure the annexa-
ton of South Platte to Kansas.
The two Territories having been
brought into existence as such at the
same-time, we can but consider it quite
appropriate that they should seek admis-
sion into the Union at the same time
We need not recaPitulate the many, and,
what must be acknowledged, strong argu-
ments in favor Of a State form of govern
ment over that Of a Territorial one;
those used by the friends Of annexation,
so far as relates to a State government,
are equally applicable now in seeking the
admission Of Nebraska.
The agitation of the question has, at
least, in our opinion, accomplished an i'm
portant point, viz: by discussion, nearly
all Nebraskians, having in view the
future good of the country, are not only
disposed, but anxious to throw off their
Territorial "swaddling clothes, +" and again
assume, by mean of a State government,
then, cherished positions as sovereigns
before leaving their native States.
Indeed we think Governor Black would
be sustained by the people of Nebraska
In calling an extra session of the Legis-
lature, the object of which should be to
provide fora Constitutional Convention,
that the Constitution might be framed,
ratified by a vote Of the people, and pre-
scented to Congress at the coming session
What'do North Platte papers say to this
move? Can the Nebraska Press, in this
one matter, cooperate as a unit?
We will endeavor to find leisure to
treat this subject more at length in a few
days, and to show how intimately and Vi
tally the election Of Delegate to Congress
is connected with it.
