THE CASE OF SENATOR SIMMONS

THE STATE TICKET.

The Democratic Convention which met
at Des Moines on the l7tb, has given us
n ticket Of which, every Democrat may
well feel proud.
Richard H. Sylvester, the candidate for
Secretary Of State, is the able ard popu.
lar Editor Of the Iowa State Press. He
is we'll known and possesses unquestion.
able fitness.
John Browne, the candidate for State
Auditor, is prominent citizen Of Polk
County.
Samuel H. Lorah was the candidate four
years ago for State Treasurer, the Office for
which he ia now nominated. He repre-.
scented his District in the last Legislature.
Benton j. Hall, for Attorney General,
is the very best nomination that could
have been made. He is the son Of Judge
Hall, of Burlington, and is decidedly one
OF the ablest young men rs we'll as one
Of the best lawyers in the State.
John Gottschalk, for Resiste. of State
Land Office, is a leading German Of Du-
buque He was Captain of company |,
OF the Iowa lst and distinguished himself
at the battle Of Wilson's Creek
Where is the Democrat that will no,

GOLD! GOLE.;

The Shreveport, Capt. John La Barge,
arrived on Tuesday evening from Fort la
Barge above Fort Benton. This boat con
veyed to the mountains large number OF
passengers, and great quantity Of min
ers implements, &c. She remained at
Fort La Barge three weeks, aud in the
meantime sent an expedition to the Bitter
Root Valley Mines--a part of which re.
turned with reliable accounts Of the dig
gings. They found good wagon road,
and reached the choicest mines BY going
$50 miles. 1t 10 estimated that not less
than thirty thousand people are already in
that region Of country. They are pouring
in by thousands from CALIFORNIA. Oregon
and Colorado. The danger is not that the
gold will be exhausted, or not found in
paying quantities. but that want of provis
ions will, before spring, cause extensive
suffering. Capt. La Barge found ready
sale for -four at $2j per sack. He sold
his large stock Of mining implements at
his own figures, but could not supply the
demand. That there is plenty of gold on
the Upper Missouri is no longer a matter
Of doubt. We have our information from
men who have been there, and a >certainel
for themselves. But what is more sa,is-
factory still, we have seen the precious
metal in quantities to convince US that
our hopes Of rich discoveries in. the mines
above us are to be realized The Shrevc.
port brought down s., 900 in dust. Capt.
! La Barge informs us that the amount con
signed by the Shreveport, would have been

was they had shipped their gold to Cali

port is very clean. coarse scale gold, OF
fine quality, and fully worth eighteen dot
lars per ounce. 1t was mined at Deer
Lodge, Bitter Root Valley The miners

of peculiar value TO the people of Algiers. Our
