News from Denver City te Juno I'd.

By the arrival of the Express at St. Jo'
seph on the Sth inst, We have news from
Denver to the I'd. The Her1ld of that date
furnishes US with the following items:
"Mr. Williams, formerly from Platts-
mouth, N. T., has just arrived in our city
from the Arkansas diggngs, and reports
that at one place a man with rocker was
making ten ounces per day. At another
place, with six hands snd a sluice, from
$500 to $1,000 per da, was being taken
out. He says that new snd rich discoveries
are being made every day-that SO far as
quartz lodes are concerned, they can bs
found at almost any place there. Mr.. w.
is responsible gentleman, and can have NO
object in making misstatenents.
A writer from the Blue River mines says,
under date of May 9th: Forty sluices are
now running in this vicinity, and all making
good wages, some very large. During the
past week there has been six new gulches
discovered, and three quartz leads; some Of
these gulches are as rich as anything yet
discovered in the Rocky Mountains. will
write you the particulars by the next wesk's
express, and also give the amount made by
Suo o'Aeieus CuAPauleS uoW a. Wo1As Inv
prospect here is fattering, much better than
the most sanguino anticipated few weeks
since.
The mines in the Nevada district arc fast
coming into notice, from the fact of the sx-
eeeding richness Of the mining claims. the
great number Of rich gold veins, and the
industry and moral character OF the people.
A number of interesting ladies are daily
coming in and making permanent settle
ment. Quartz mill claims are eagerly sought
after, and great inducements are held out
to the investment Of capital by enterprisipg
persons.
Our district claims for mining purposes
are being worked with energy, yielding rich
returns, and by the great influx of emf
grants, our gulch bears the appearance Of a
large and popular village. Two new leads
have been struck during the present week
on the north side of Nevada gulch, on th,
mountain, that has the appearance Of being
equal to the best in the mines.

The political Status of Speaker
Pennington. o.

We find in the New York Journal Of Commerce
of the 9th, conservative Democratic paper, the
particular explanation Of the political re-
cord Of Speaker PENNINGTON;
The election of Pennington is claimed a Repub-
lican triumph. Let us see how much reason there
is in such pretense In the first place he never was
a Republican, but has always, until his nomination
as "A Congressional candidate ranked as an Old Line
Wing. The party which nominated him was COM
posed of Republicans, Wings Americans and anti
LecOmton Democrats; and neither in the Convention;
in the canvass nor since his election, has he de-
clared himself Republican. The Conversion
which nominated him passed resolution inviting
"lhe patriotic and conservative men of all parties
and sections of the Union, who depreciate the UNI

peE-, The Brandon Miss Republican pays de-
served compliment to our former towusman, Gen.
Patrick Henry, who, it seems, occupies the same
high position, in Mississippi, as an orator and a
patriot, that his distinguished brother does in this
State. Speaking of Gen. Henry, the Republican
says;
He is as Jealous and earnest in the cause of the
Union as he ever was, and with his burning elo-
quence patriotic heart and commanding intellect is
prepared to do, as he has ever DONE yeoman service
Tor the Constitution and the Union. The time is
coming when every friend Of the Union and the
Constitution should be up and doing, to arouse the
sleeping energies of patriotic hearts that have not
noted the dangers which menace them through the
tyrannc'l rule of ambitious and reckless demagog-
ues, and we do not hesitate TO assure the citizens
that Gen. Henry will be found in the front ranks
battling for his country, and his eloquent voice
causing disIDay in the ranks Of the enemy.

we wish to urge upon them the Importance Of a

The political condition Of the United states, at
the present tine Is without parallel in their past
history. Party divisions have always marked politi-
cal struggles in this country, but they have been

None of the sectional hatred, and heart-burnng
jealousy, which have of late years sprung up mark
ed in past times the struggles for political supreme
lcy. Political differences alone, existed between the
North and the South, and apart from them, a
fraterhal feeling animated the entire people Of the
country. Then social harmony prevailed, and one
common impulse of patriotic devotion TO our whole
country burned in the hearts OF The masses. But
how is il now2 Let any one, who wishes an an
swer look to our National Congress to the papers

jealousy have arisen almost as a wall of fire, be-
tween The North and the South; and we see party,

mated by something Of patriotic impulses, now de-
generated and corrupted into a mere association Of
