VIM. Windoes, Esq, of Chicago, has just
returned to that place from Pixies Peak The
Tribune and Press says:
He was about two months in the mines and
left Denver a fortnight ago, He came home
through Iowa, via Council Bluffs, Des Moins
and Iowa City. He met 1000 teams en- route
to the mines between Denver and Omaha, and
thinks he must have seen as many as 100
Quartz Crushers on the road. He estimates
the number of people in the mines ON the first
of July at 5000 to 100000.
Taking the whole thing together, Mr.. Win
does regards the mines as a failure. A few are
getting out some gold, but the vast majority
are destined to be sorely disappointed There
is some gold, but its abundance has been vastly
overrated and exaggerated. He thinks that
not more than one in twenty will make expen-
ses Most of the quartz taken out has proven
SO inferior that it would not pay for crushing.
One or two mills were doing well, but the
prospect for others was anything but datter-
ing.

Correspondence of the Delaware Gazette.
Political Affairs in Southern Illinois.

CHARLESTON ILL.,, July 9th 1860.
Ed. GAZETTE Permit one Who until re-
Gently. has been a resident Of Delaware Coun=
ty and a reader of your paper. to inform your
readers how VIC poor Back Republicans -
are getting along in Southern Illinois This
place lies the northern boundaries of .IIlinoy,
Egypt or more properly called - Democratic
Egypt, on account Of the large inaioriticS
the Democrats have always had in this part of
the State, and the ignorance of the mass Of
the people. In '56 every county in Egypt
went, with an overwhelming majority, Demo-
cratic; but within the last four years our free
schools have been gradually making nroads
into the very heart Of this Democratic empire,
and the strong-loitls of Democracy have given
away TO the light of knowledge combined with
Republicanisin. No less than eighteen Re
publican newspapers have been started dnrng
the present season, and in places where the Re
publican party had an existence in sc
the masses are for Lincoln and Hamlin. Men
who canFassed the southern part of the State
in the last Presidential campaign tell me that
in places where at that time it was almost i'm
possible to raise mass meeting of three hum
dred Republicans now turn out for Old Abe
by thousands We have just had glorious
Republican meeting i'll this place. Although
the time for getting the meeting up was short,
and many in the distant parts of the county
did not hear of it, yet the crowd was estimated
at from six to ten thousand people There
were six hundred Wide-Awakes " from diff
ferent parts of the county, all beautifully uni
formed and many companies of beautiful la
dies from various parts, made the scene very
interesting. In the evening we had one of the
most splendid torch-light professions that I
ever beheld and this in county that has al
ways had large Democratic majority, speaks
encouragingly for the Republican party.
Honest Old Abe is well known here by the
old settlers, and many of them can recollect
when he used to drive three yoke of oxen
through this town.
In conclusion let my say to the people of
Delaware County, that the prairies of Illinois
echo the names of Lincoln and Hamlin from
Chicago TO Cairo, and that when November
shall roll round we will be good for fifty thou
sand for Honest Old Abe

HEESAS, the pugalistic champion, has re-
turned from his visit to Europe, arriving at
New York last Sunday morning His return
has revived the excitement among the Sfancy,
and pugiIistic affairs are again an absorbing
topic of conversation in sporting circles, while
the metropolitan journals give detailed and
lengthy accounts of the sayings, doings and
projects of the Beneeia Boy and other dis
tinguished bruisers. a card appeared in one
of the New York papers, signed John Nor
rissy,' challenging Heenan to fight for any
sum from $40 to $4,000, which challenge
was promptly aecepted-but subsequent
card in the Herald, purporting to be signed
by Morrissy, denies the authorship of the
challenge.

"Our beloved country" says Douglas, SIS
threatened with a fearful sectional ahtagonism,
which places the Union itself in imminent
peril" Docs any person else know anything
about this fearful sectional antagonisHi, or has
anybody noticed anything of its coming, or Of
its symptoms? We have had a sectional all
tagonism, now very fearful in its character,
but still-quite as much so as we are likely to
ever have, during the whole time. MIR. Doug
las has been prominent in national affairs. But
as the gale generally subsidies the sun sets,
so as Mr.. Douglas declines towards the hori-
zon this sectional strife decreases, and we
doubt not when he finally sets behind the bal
lot boxes in November next it will subsde en-
tirey
Had it not been for the aid and encourage
ment lent by Douglas to the slave power, in
his labors to repeal the Missouri Compromise,
it is more than probable that the struggle of
that power long ere this would have yielded to
the progress and natural supremacy of freedom,
and subsided into complete quiescence. But
Douglas opened door for it to occupy new
fields and invited it to enter, and the conse-
quence was, that our beloved country at once
experienced "a sectional antagonism which
placed the Union i'll about as much peril as it
is ever likely to experience. But that power
seems to be about weared out in the struggle
and the prospect is fair that the moment these
mischief makers are fairly dead, politically, an
event near at hand, the country will know
| peace once more And it will be no hollow
peace resulting from constraint and despotism,
but that substantial harmony which always
attends upon the supremacy of just principles
and just men.
Let MIR. Douglas, and his timid friends, il
he has any, be eomforted. The danger to our
beloved country is in exact ratio to the dan
ger of his election to the Presidency dan
ger, it must be admitted, not imminent enough
to require that any persons should lay awake
nights i'll dread of it -----5=-

CHILD DEvoURED BY BEARs-0n Wednes-
day, 9th inst, child, about four years of age,
was carried off and devoured by bear in the
town of Ellenburgh, Clinton county n. Y
The child, boy, went a short distance from
his fathers house, with brother about eight
years old to fish in a brook. At school time
the oldest boy went into the house to prepare
for school, and told his mother that his brother
had remained at the brook, and would return
in abort time. In a little while his mother
went after him, but he Was not to be found
She then called him, and heard him cry at a
distance. The sound rapidly receded, and pass
ed beyond hearing. The woman Immediately
alarmed her husband, who made search for the
child without success. Tine neighbors were
then notified, and a general search took place
till nightiall Next day the alarm became
more extensive, and the search was renewed
with increased energy. Itwas continued from
day to day, without avail. till the following
Monday. when man passing hollow log was
growled at by black bear. The bear was
fired upon and killed. In the log were two
young bears, the missing child's clothes, and a
portion of one of his legs. The cubs were dis
patched, and in the stomachs of all three were
found portions of the devoured boy-Ogtiens-

The New York Herald, guerrilla Admin
istration journal, reviews at length the Presi-
dental prospects. especially as regards the as
peet of affairs in the twelve Southern States
claimed as certain for Breckinridge, and con-
cudes in the following lugubrious strains:
THUS it is hard to say in which of these
twelve States the democracy can be success
ful and what is the most disheartenine fea-
ture in the dark prospect is, that the demo-
cratic candidate who is likely to poll most
votes at the North will poll least at the South;
in fact, will not carry one electoral vote be-
yound Mason and Dixons line. There is.
therefore, political revolution at hand, which
will scatter the democracy like chaff before the

dates in the field in the Presidential struggle

Douglas and Johnson" whole counties in

This is truly encouraging to those who adhere

that their candidate has hardly corporal s

Mason & DiNons line.
The Editor Of that rantalikcrous Douglas
sheet, the Cincinnati Enquirer, secs things i'll
the South through another pair of spectaclcs.
He says
There is not a united South. There is
nothing but d;seord, division and reproaches
among the Democracy, where before were
union and nvincibility. The Opposition is
marshalng its forces and threatens to carry
every Southern State. Well may the deceiv-

New JERSEY CONSERVATIVES FOR LINCOLN
The Baltimore Patriot says:
A large number OF the conservative Demo
cratic and opposition manufacturers of New
ark, New Jersey, whose trade with the South
amounts to not less than fifteen millions year,
disgusted with the corruption of Democratic
rule, have recently taken pains to ascertain
Mr.. Lincoln's views of public policy, by direct
personal communication with him though one
of their number and they are so well satisfied
of his conservatism and uprightness that they
have determined to support him for President
