QUEER.-Since the gold stories are
becoming so numerous, it is now asserted
that the old Indian traders knew of the
existence of the mines long ago. This is
quite probable. indeed. The traders
would have been very likely. had they
been aware of the existence of rich mines,
to have Passef: them by, and never have
worked them, but have left them for 9th
ers to find out. and dig the gold. The
Indian traders are not that sort Of men.
Money is their object. and if they know
of the existence of gold, they are very apt
to hunt for it. The St. Louis Democrat
has been going into the matter scientif,
cally, and showing that the "gold line'
of the continent runs through the Cherry
Creek region. 1t is somewhat like the
Spirit Rappings. Such things were ne
yer dreamed of until couple of foolish
girls set them going. when suddenly
nearly every body was communicating
with spirits, and it was proven that such
things had been known for ages! Can
not some one discover that Lewis and
Clark dug gold at the Pixies Peak and
Cherry Creek diggings?

a friend suggests that all the pork

well to whom they are indebted for the
high price paid for pork this season, and
next season they will have their eyes

If the soil Of Kansas is really adapted

ther desperate attempt should be made to

Had such : suggestion as the above

when all the former ardent partisaHs Of
Slavery in Kansas have ceased TO talk
about it. the Journal, which has hereto
fore pursued a liberal course upon the
question, advises fresh agitation of the
subject" another desperate attempt to
plant slavery in Kansas when it well
knows that such an attempt would create
as great, if not greater. difficulties than
ever. And why does it suggest this
Simply because some one has succeeded
in raising a fine pod of cotton away down
in the southern extremity Of the Terrific

Republican doctrine, and seemed to be
particularly gratifed whenever mention
was made of its opposition to Slave De

DIFFICULTIES IN SOUTHERN Kansas
The difficulties in the Southern part OF
the Territory seem to have broken out
with renewed violence, and the state Of
society down there is really deplorable.
The difficulties are principally Invested
of political cast, and Outlawry prevails
supreme. Capt. Montgomery and old
John Brown seem to be the leaders of one
party. We have heard that is supposed
the latter is insane. The Missourians, as
usual. are doing their part to keep up the
fuss. The Administration has offered q
reward for Montgomery and Brown, and
the Governor is preparing to make an at
tempt to settle the disturbances. No one
can tell when the end Of these things viii
be.

should receive the work in exchange. We
did so, and for q while it came regularly.
Upon receipt Of the 6rst No., we gave it
an extended notice and upon the receipt
of each subsequent number, we made IA
vorable mention Of it. But we have not
received number since we think last
May. We have several times requested

bers, but it has never reached US since
Our file of it is thus broken off short,
when we have complied with all that was
requested of us. Why do the publishers
treat us so? We gave longer and better
notices, of it, than many papers which
still acknowledge its monthly receipt, and
have never spoken otherwise than favora-
bly, of it. We weuld be very much
pleased to have tho back numbers, since

do so, and to have it come regularly to
us. In return, we shall do all for it we
