$500 worth 0f G0ld nnSt.

Some little excitement was created in
Market Square by an individual who had
just arrived from Cherry Greek, and who
gave out that he had six hundred dollars
worth of the genuine yellow dust right in
his pocket, which he had brought direct
from the Cherry Greek diggings. AS
there is a smart sprinkling of skepticism
upon this subject, the crowd gathered
round in great numbers eager to. see the
glittering stuff. They called on the gold
individual with one accord to come out
and show the dust, to which he readily
assented, drawing forth a goose quill
partially filled, saying ''here it is
But" said the multitude, 'rhere is no

California Travel.

The crossing at this point, of trains for
California has been very extensive the
past week. We notice quite a number
yet, bound for Pixies Peak. The route
from BrownEille across the plains is
rapidly gaining favor. Hundreds who
had gone out other routes came back by
way Of Brownville, and finding it by far
the best, are advertising it as they pass
back into the States. No n starting
from BrownvilIe need have any fears Of
being ~humbugged as to the starting point
and route.

correspondence OF the Advertiser.
DALLAS Texas,
May 4th, 1859

r. w. FyRNAs, Esa,
Dear Sir: Sinte my last from the
CbactawN Nation, 1 have crossed Red
RIVER, into Texas After passing through
much poof country as Khave described ih
previous letters, ! am prepared to enjoy
a more f~attering state Of affairs.
1 crossed Red River at Preston, a small
dilapidated town, but a most beautiful
site; Steam Boats scarce get up this high
lexeept. in6me Of high waters. Red River
is a fine stream, some two hundred yards
wide, with high bluff banks Of a deep
red color, which gave rise to its Bame.
From Preston to Sherman, a distance of
Is miles, l passed over some beautiful
country. Sherman is q thriving little
village of about FIVE hundred inhabitants.
The overland California mail passes
through this place twice a week. From
this place to Dallas, seventy miles is as
fine country as ever "oId Sol" shown upon.
It is level, with a black rich soil but said
to be better for wheat than corn on ac-
count Of the drought plenty of timber
Of excellent qualities; fine farms are
opened up, the waving grain just now
ready for harvest. This with the thous-
sands grazing herds, makes the country
look altogether charming, especially tc
one leaving your country at the eason ]
did. While / am perfectly captiYated
with this country at this season and under
all the circumstances, il may be possible
another and different season may blastal
my notions.
The water in this Country is limestone
and not near so good as in Nebraska
especially in the rich lands.
The frost has injured the crops to some
extent in some portions Of Texas. Farmers
pasture their wheat all winter to keep il
back. The principal ayocation is stock
raising and all are in fine spirits. Health
is good as yet in this part Of the State
l go from here to Austin, from whence
will again write you. &

The barracks of Fort Armstrong, built
on Rock Island, in the Mississippi river,

settler. of that region. 1t was one Of the
earliest relics of the settlement of the

The fire, it is believed, was caused by
some sacriligiOus incendiary, who, if
caught, deserves hanging.

The selections Of 10000 acres of land

the Miami tribe of Indians as a reserve
for their future homes in the treaty of
June, 5, 1854, by which they coded their
tract of country in that Territory, con-
tanning 100000 acres, having been made
and approved by the Secretary of the In
terror, the Indian Office has advised the
General Land Office that all the lands in
the Miami c~ession, not embraced by these
selections are not required for Indian ur-
poses, and are therefore turned over to
the General Land Office as part of the
public domain. They are consequently

Kannas OssaFOtamie convention

"The Convention met at Ossawotamie,
organised under the name of the Republi-
can party, and adopted the Democratic
doctrine as to N n-intervention. The only
diference-and hat as to Kansas only
is that the Democrats are in favor of ex-
GLIDING free negroes, and the Republicans
r opposed to it. The Republicans and
a certain wing of the Democracy are
gradually assimilating. There is now no
real difference. They have only to break
down the barriers of prejudice to act

PIke's Zeal.

We had the pleasure Of a conversation
last evening with AEr. FillebFow, the
obliging road agent Of Russell 8 Jones'
,LeavenwoTlh and Auroria Express. Mi.
Fillebrow left Denver City % the 9th
inst. and arrived ia Leavenworth on the
18th, making the trip in ten days. He
brought with him $500 in gold dust the
product Of the mines in the vicinides of
Boulder City, Denver City and Platte
river. Those who are at work infthe
mines are making fair wages and are well
satisfied with their prospects. The men
who have returned and reported so IN
favorably, according to Mr.. Fillebrow's
statement, had never struck a spade in
the earth. They had gone Out lily pre-
pared, were disappointed at not being
able to grow rich in a day and without
exertion, aud left with no sort Of a knowl-
edge of the country. Mr.. F. supposes
that as much as eight or nine thousand
dollars of dust might have been purchased
without difficulty, and this speaks well for
the richness Of the mines, in as much as
the winter has precluded the possibility
Of extensive mining operations. The
snow is yet on the mountains, where it is
supposed the gold exists most a%bundantly,
and much of the product of the mines
must have gone to Mexico in exchange
for provisions. Some very rich quartz lad
been discovered in the mountains west of
Boulder City, a specimen of which is on
exhibition at Leavenvorlh, Mr.. F. con-
firms the account of the horrible suffering
on the Smoky Hill route. All who are in
the mines and are at uork, are hopeful and
find much encouragement.--M. Joe. Vest.
