WAsHrSaroN, May 80, 1S60.-Gentlemen :
Your official communication of the 18th inst,
informing me that the representatives of the
Republican party Of the U. 8. assembled at
Chicago on that day had by unanimous vote
selected me - their candidate for the office
OF Vice President of the u. 8. has been re-
ceived together with resolutions adopted by
the Convention Is its declaration of principles.
Those resolutions enunciate clearly and for
chilly the principles which unite us and the
objects proposed to be accomplished. They
address themselves to all, and there is neith-
er necessity or propriety in my entering up
on discussion of any of them; they have
the approval of my Judgment and any action
of mine win be faithfully and cordially sus-
tanned. ! am profoundly gratifed to those
with whom it is my pride and pleasure politi-
cally to operate, for the nomination go nnex-
pectedly conferred, and desire to tender
through you to the members of the Conven-
ton my sincere thanks for the confidence
thus reposed in me. Should the nomination
which ! now except be ratified by the people
and the duties devolve upon me Of presiding
over the Senate of the u. s., it win be INV
earnest endeavor faithfully to discharge them
with just regard for the rights of ali.
1t is observed in connection with the do
ings of tho Republican Convention, that a
paramount object with us is to preserve the
normal condition of our Territorial domain
as homes for frecmcn. The able advocate
and defender Of Republican principles whom
you have nominated for the highest place
that can crafty the ambition of man, comes
from State which has been made what it is
by special action in that respect, of wise and
good men who founded our institutions. The
rights of free labor have there been vfnkcat-
ed and maintained. The thrift and enter.
prise which SO distinguished Illinois, one Of
the most flourshing States Of the glorious
West, we would see secured to al the Terri
tories Of the Union, and restore peace and
harmony to the whole country by bringing
back the Government to what it was under
the wise and patriotic men who created it. II
the Republicans shall succeed in that object,
as they hope to, they will be held in grateful
reneubSance by busy and teeming millions

PlKs's PEAk.-Col. Sessions, ofthis place,
while travelling from this place to Jessup in

Peaker Of good address, and intelligent ap-

party returning from Denver City to Coun-
Gil Bluffs, met on the way to Fl. Kearney,
between Nay 18th and 8lst, 5,5s1 teams,
1853 families, ., $40 oxen, 2,S06 cows, a.
7ss mules, 2,779 horses, % quartz mills /;

IT. Kearney and Council Bluffs, from June
LIST, to the 7th, 2,744 persons, 6s4 teams,
s57 families, 1855 oxen, 704 cows, 2l8

are pretty large we have no reason to doubt
their correctness, and when we once think Of
the thousands from al parts Of tho country
that are seeking this new Eldorado, and that
after leaving Council Bluffs they all travel
one common route, the above figures do not
seem at al improbable.

The Indians at Pixies Peak.
BY TELEGRAPH
TO THE WORCESTER DAILY SPY

ST. JOSEPH, July 5.-The Pixies Peak ex-
press arrived yesterday afternoon, with SIS 900
in specie. Denver City dates are the 28tG
ult. Indian depredations upon struggling par
ties and on the ranches had become so frequent
that meeting of citizens was held to consider
what was best to he done. Two Arrapahoe
chiefs were present a part Of the time The
Outrages in the main consist of Indians taking
whatever they desire from parties unable to
resist them, tearing down fences, turning their
ponies into gardens, destroying them in some
places, and shooting at the whites, one or two
OF whom are known TO be killed. The chiefs
thought 1t hard they should be held accounta-
bic for bad acts of their own and four other ma
tons now in that vicinity, but said SO far as
their own men were concerned, they would
hold them responsible for any injury done to
the whites. An effort was made to pass res
olutlon to drive the Indians from the country
If they did not leave within three days, but
more moderate couuSels prevailed, and the
troubles will be peaceably arranged. Mining
news unchanged; business dull money scarce /;
weather hot and showery.
