HoRR1BLE DETAILS FROM PIXIES
PEAK.-The regular correspondent of
the ST. Louis Democrat, writing from
Denver City, on the 9th inst, recounts
the most deplorable condition of things
on, the plains-emigrants dying of
starvation, and others subsisting on
prickly pear and wild onions found
along the road. The stage reports
picking up man named Blue, reduced
to skeleton from starvation. He
started with two brothers, when one
died, and the remaining two ate his
body. Another died, and he in turn
was nearly devoured by the surviving
brother. A man named Gibbs had
reached the mines in starving condi-
ton, and expressed the opinion that
his party, numbering nine had all per-
ished. Many graves are reported
along the route, and much property
has been destroyed and abandoned on
the road. The writer of the letter
says that the departure from the mines
are about equal to the arrivals. About
500 returned emigrants reached St.
Joseph on Saturday, all of whom con-
firm the previous accounts of suffering
on the plains.

A great many learned treaties have
been written, explaining the origin of,
and classifying the worms generated in
the human system. Scarcely any topic
of medical science has elected more
acute observation and profound re-
search and yet physicians are very
much divided in opinion on the subject.
1t must be admitted, however, that.
after all, mode of expelling them and
purifying the body from their presence
is OF more value than the wisest dis
QUESTIONS as to their origin.
Such an expelling agent has at last
been found. Dr. M'Lane's Vermifuge
proves to be the much sought after
specifc-its efficacy being universally
acknowledged by the entire medical fac
ulty. As further proof, read the fol-
lowing from a lady-one of our own
citizens:

Biglers substitute was voted down. Hun
ter's resolution was adopted by large ma.
jority.
Sidell thereupon offered resolution which
was adopted. that it was the duty Of Congress
to look rather to the reduction af expenses
than to the increase of the revenue.
There was much excitement during these
proceedings, during which Hunter expressed
the opinion that with the revival cf business
there would be sufficient revenue for The pur

Of the duties He said the public debt was
millions by the 30th Of June. 1860. without
the thirty millions to be added TO the foreign
intercourse fund, looking to the purchase OF
Cuba.
Messrs. Toombs and Benjamin were willing
to favor specific duties on the great staples OF
the country, but were against attempting any
change at the present session.
Iverson, Of Ga. favored an increase Of the
Tariff as absolutely necessary, While not ia
voring specific duties be was willing 10 give

policy as to whether il would favor specific
or al valorem duties.
Mr. Hunter replied that all seemed to agree
on the policy. that the Tariff should be for
revenue, but that the mode Of assessing the
duties was not party test.
