Mr.. Z. A. Temple has received letter form
bis Brother Jo., at the mines, and kindly allow
ed us to publish the following extracts from the
same:
Base of Mountains, June Goth 1859.
DEAR BRoTHER:-I wrote you on the 10th
inst, stating that six of our party would leave
for the mountains on a prospecting tour the
next morning. Three of US have just returned
for our wagons, three we're left with the claims
taken. IT,. m.
On our second DAY GU. we had the good for
tune to find Sam Ristine and Stanley of fair
field. They are mining in a gucb, were glad
to see us, and showed us some vacant claims
short distance above them. We commenced
work Immediately, close to the creek, got "the
color At a depth Of four feet. The prospect
continued to grow better When we got down
eleven feet the last two or three pans yielded
nearly twenty cents each. We then quit
digging and concluded to send for the wagons,
so that we might have lumber to build sluices,
toms. &c. The day we found Ristine he told
US their company -four men) had taken out
sixty dollars. Barker, Of Plattsmonth showed
one Of our boys piece of quartz worth $3.50.
Ristine says be saw piece worth SIS. The
quartz gold is found in veins up and down the
mountains. We heafsof men who are making
two hundred dollars per day. ! believe some
of them are doing il. We found the miners
working q like Turks and heard no grumb-
ling. Talked with but few preferng to 60 to
work and Hind out the facts. All OF our CON-
pany are satisfied with our prospects.
lido not think there
is any probability of our being deceived about
the mines. '
There can be but little farming
done here.
| hope you will confine what have
written 10 yourself aud very few friends
Some men might come here who would
starve in any country and failing to do well
attach some blame on me.
= Your Brother,

The Democratic State Convention of Mary
land, at their recent session in Frederick ON the
niger question, adopted the Cincinnati plat
form and the Ksnsas-Nebraska act, but said
not word about Congressional intervention,
except to assert that property in the Territories
could not be impaired by legislation, either
directly or indirectly. The Convention en-
dorsed the administration in the following reso
luton:
RESOLVED, That the Democracy of Maryland
retain undisturbed confidence in the integrity
and ability of James Buchanan and in the
patriotism of his administration.

A Gun SILENcED.-Sereral Locofoco cotem-
poraries started out on the present campaign
with the assertion that tle Republican doctrine
Of the power Of Congress over the question Of
slavery in the Territories, was identical with
that Of the "Cltras," of tile South. The mock
seriousness with which this pnint was urged,
ought certainly to br taken as very strong
proof OF the doctrine OF the original depravitv
OF mankind, and especially of the present deu
pravity OF the Locoioco party Of the North
In thus attempting to Cast contempt on this
doctrine they are impugning the patriotism and
intelligence Of the fathers and founders of the
Republic, who for the first seventy years Of our
existence as nation, not only believed the
doctriue, but practiced il, with such effect that
slavery was excluded by Congressional acts,
from all the then North Western Territory, be.
longing to the confederacy-c constituting what
is now the most popuous and prosperous por-
ton Of cur country.
Who is there in all our broad donain thar
regrets the position taken by our ancestors.
when they passed the ordinance of 1887: Is
there . single Democrat in Iowa who does not
rejoice that there was no demagogue there to
propose, and no party corrupt enough to shout
der, the contemplate dogma OF Squatter Sow
eregnty, BY which the first hundred or thou
sand settlers might introduce and fasten forever
upon all that magnificent stretch Of country, the
curse OF slavery! Rejoice then, o Democrats,
that Republican men were at the helm in that
crisis, and hide your diminished heads in view
OF your shameful apostacy from the doctrines
they proclaimed County Register.

FROM Pixies PEAK.-To the surprise Of near
ly all our community, two Of our fortunate gold
hunters returned home last Friday evening
Wilkinson Defrees and w. T. Chess. They
have sold out their claims and SO have the other
South Blenders, the other company obtaining
$4,000 for theirs, to be paid in weekly INSTALL
ments Messrs. Defrees and Chess state that
all the other five South Benders will return
home in September, after collecting the amounts
FOR which they sold their claims. We have not
been able to learn what amount has been made
by each OF them, the modesty of our friends
rendering remarks on that head quite indefinite.
But from the best estimates, we think that each
of the seven fortunate delegates from our town
to the diggings will be 5000 to IS, 900 richer
this fall for their seasons work, if they realize
the whole amount for which their claims have
been sold. But very few others have made
anything like this; and but small proportion
of the whole have, as yet, made more than
their expenses and outft-South Bend Und.)

SPECULATIoNs ON FUTURE PgICEs.-An OK
animation Of the trade circular does not confirm
the gloomy apprehensons of those who 90
about complaining that we are going to get
nothing for our grain. At the present market
price OF new American wheat in Liverpool it
woulda pay . handsome profit il it could be
bought here at 81 bushel. And every grain
merchant will certify that the average cost Of
wheat SHIPPED at this port TO Europe for the past
ten years has been under and not over 81 a
bushel.
In word, we have surplus Of wheat this
year of 75,0oo,0O0 bushels-about twice our
average surplus and, at the present rate Of
foreign markets, this wheat will command
more than the average price obtained for Amer.
lean wheat shipped to Europe during the past ten
years.
1t remains to be seen how the foreign grain
market will tiuctuate during the autumn. There
are those who look for a further fall in grain in
Europe. But there are many reasons for anti
cipating the very reverse. The product of the
grain bearing countries Of Europe must be
affected by the enormous diversion of labor
from agriculture which has been caused by the
war. Neither the English nor the French har-
vests are vet out OF danger. And even suppos.
ing that the European crops prove everywhere
as bountiful as they did last year, the price OF
wheat in England is very low at present; very
considerable below the average for the past ten
years. On the whole, the weight OF probability
il rather in favor of prices in Europe than
against them; and the prospect is fair for
grain export from hence this fall greater than
the largest heretofore known.-New York
