PIXIES PRAKERs COMING HOME.-It appears
that not quite all who have gone to the gold
region this year have succeeded in pacifying
their greed for the "root of all evil" There is
much dissatisfaction. disappointment and sut-
fering among those who went thither to fill
their pockets with that which is enormously
supposed to be the foundation Of happiness
gold. The following extract, which speaks of
the return of unfortunate gold hunters, we
copy from the A fton Union county, Eagle:
yesterday, (Friday,) two men with a tw 0
horse team passed through this place home
ward bound, on their return trip from Pixies
Peak. They stated thatit was no uncommon
occurrence to meet persons hatless, bootless,
coatless, and in some instances in an almost
nude state, and without the root ofeyil,' with
which to purchase more; and some were in
such destitute circumstances as to be even
without the common necessares OF life with
which to keep body and soul together Some
were begging for the merest pittance with
which TO sustain life. Such was the picture
they pain ted Of life at Pixies Peak. And such
we have every day to fear is too true. Pixies
Peak, in our mind, is grand humbug. inde-
pendent of what others may do or say, puffed
into notoriety by designing persons 10 trap the
unwary of all classes and conditions in life
that they may the better fleece them.'
