regard TO the Pixies Peak Gold digging came to
US from an unknown source. We infer that the
writer has "been thar and that he is Of opin-

give his communication for what II is worth,

DAYroN, Jan. 7lh, 1850.
Mr. REEDRR;--T thought would drop you a
few lines In regard TO the mines at Pixies Peak.
Thousands have fitted out and started for the
diggings, got out some distance on the plains,
got dissatisfied and came back, and cursed the
country; about one third Of the emigration
turned back before they ever saw the mines, one
third looked and vamoosed; the other third
pitched in, prospeoted and found the ore. There
have been between two and three millions Of
dellaFs received through the different convey.
ances that have been reported through the diff.
ferent newspapers, besides VIII hat was brought
in by individuals Of which we have no account
| think, taken altogether. it would amount TO
five or six millions. That is pretty good for
country that hardly any person knew anything
about one year ago; last June was about the
time the fret discoveries were made and they
have been making new ones ever since. There
arc SOME Oi the oeht quarts claWb there tnht
have ever seen, and there are very few IL any in
California. There is only one that know of
that equal them and that is at Nevada. And
then there is the different routes to the Peak
II you pick up spaper that is published in any
Of the celebrated cities Or the Missouri, you
will find that the town that paper was publish,
ed in is the starting point for the shortest and
best route TO the mines l have been over two
Of the routes--the Platte and Santa Fee, the
distances are about the same; but the Santa
Fee, Is much the best road. There is more than
20 miles Of sand on the whole route, while on
the Platte the are 2l0 miles Of the heaviest
sand that think ever saw; and not only
that, but they have made good Wagon road
up the Arkansas river to the South Park, Mid
die Park, and the Colorado dggins, that cuts
of more than 100 miles; and that is quite
saving in the wear and tear Of mans soul'case
There will be large emigration to the mines
in the spring, but they win be of different
kind than most Of the first. They will be
men OF families-good, solid fellows, who are
not afraid Of work nor hardships; and in the |
course Of the next few years they will change |
the looks Of the country so that the Rocky |
Mountains will be ashamed OF themselves and |
like as not move westl

CoNaREss AND THE SPEAKRRsHp.-The he
holidays being now over, both Houses Of
Congress have reassembed, II is to be
hoped the members Of the House may come
together, after this brief recess, with the
stern purpose of putting an end to the pro,
tracted struggle for Speakership by uniting
upon some suitable person. The Washing
ton Star, however, considers that the chance
of an election is no better now than on the
first Monday of last month, as the several
parties ore firm in maintaining their respec,
tive positions. Nothing but the plurality
rule can put an end to the struggle, and on
this point it remarks:
As the rules now stand, dozen members
acting in combin alton may postpone vote
upon the plurality rule until the 4th of
March, 1861, when this model House of
Representatives dies, by constitutional limi-
tation. AT the present writing there are at
least fifty members bent on defeating the
design to get a vote on the plurality rule to
the extent of forever, thus preventing the
organization of the House with HELPER.
book-platform man in the Speakership.
Under such circumstances, with all parties
thus bent on having their own way in the
matter, and no party strong enough to carry
out its desires, it is clear that the solution
of the present difficulty is a matter as vet
not within the compass Of any mans brain.
There is no reason whatever, at present, to
anticipate that tho lst of February will find
the contest in more solvable condition
none whatever In the meanwhile the cons
dition of the House will continue to excite
sectional strife throughout the land, stirring
up more bad blood hourly.

The REPUBLICAN STATE TREASURER OF
MAINE IN TRoUBLE-We take the following
from the Portland Maine) Argus;
For two or three days there have been
rumOrs current in our city that the State
Treasurer is in trouble-pecuniary OF
course-and the same authority sets his LA,
bilities and probable deficit at high figure.
If this be so, his bondsmen will be also in,
volved, one Of whom is Neal Dow. We can
not get at the facts yet, and therefore speak
only Of current rumoiE Bui it will not at
all surprise US if it shall turn out that the
people of Maine have been aeeoed to the
tune of from one hundred to one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, by their State
Treasurer. b. d. Peck The facts must come
out in the course Of the week, as the Legis-
lature meets, and the Governor will be COM
PEELED to declare the condition of affairs in
his message.
1t will be recollected that Mr.. Peck went
into politics from the pulpit of Caseo- -streei
Church, in this city. He was for several
years editor of the Temperance Journal, and
became Treasurer of State on the accession
to power of the Republican party, in 1856
