Bovine GREEN, KENrU.KY,
Jasuary 90, 1867 I

The damper cast upon the feelings OF our
friends in this section by the late fight IN
Eastern Kentucky, in which Zoliicoffer and
MANY of his brave men were killed, has been
considerable removed by accounts to day OF
a victory gained by Crittenden over the enc
my in the same locality. The statement IS
to the effect that Crittenden,, after his defeat
at Fishing Creek, retrea.ed to Monticello,
where he rallied his men. He was pursued
by too regiments of the enemy whom he re-
pulsed with heavy loss. The report comes
from Glasgow. a Colonel of one Of the regi-
ments formerly stationed at COLUMBIA sent a
message 10 that effect to a prominent lawyer,
of Glasgow, from which place the report
reached here. Great credit is attached to the
report and quite a degree Of rejoicing is occa-
stoned by it.
Louisville papers of the 26th were received
here to-day. Agreat victory is claimed by
them at Fishing creek, and the rebellion
is pronounced as on the eve of being quash-
ed. Great things are predicted as certain to
take place in thirty days. High encomiums
are passed on Zollicoffer, to whom all brav-
cry, honor and marliness are accorded. The
papers state that he and Baillie Peyton were
buried with the honors of war, and that their
remains await the demands of our friends.
! The same papers assert that Sumter Ander-
son has the same flag that foated at Charles.
ton harbor in former days, and that be in per.
son expects soon to hoist it..over the same fort
! from which he was ANONYMOUSLY driven in
l April last.
I The most exciting rumors, which are al
least entitled to consideration, are received to
= day from Gen. L. L. Crittenden fled. and oul

i med in by our forces who have succeeded ir

Discovery OF Gold.

GREAT SALT LAKE CITY, Oct Is 1872
Result therefrom what moy, it seems not
outstanding repugnance to be instrumental
in leading to excitement that the task is,efore
me of announcing the discovery Of ner gold
field near the headwaters of the Missouri
River.
The first intimation of the new discovery
was the arrival in the Northern settleaents,
about eight or ten days ago, of twenty three
men with seventeen wagons, for proisions
and groceries After purchasing their -four
in the north, fifteen OF them came dow here
for other supplies on Saturday, and has been
here ever since. Most of those here al from
Colorado, whence they came in May lst 1
have had considerable conversation viii sew
ersl of them, and from one of them revived
the following statement:
The mines are situated on Grassopper
Creek. q tributary of the Missouri Rive, run.
ming in q south-easterly direction. Tey are
about midway between Fort Limb, he old
Mormon settlements, and Deer Lodg, Fort
Limb being about a hundred miles south
west, and Deer Dodge rather more to th north
east. The mines from their location n that
creek are sometimes called Grasshoppelhlines,
and as frequently called Summit Mus from
their being near the summit Of theRocky
Mountains. The mines were first discovered
about six weeks ago by person of tb name
of John White, and another, - IOrsay,
from Colorado. They had started forsalmon
River, but being, like the rest of the foks dis
| appointed in that fzzle, concluded to respect
round before they abandoned the coutry al
together, and in doing so made the dioveries
which are promising fortune to he first
miners. So little time having elapsi since
their discovery, no fabulous amountscan be
| reported, but sufficient metal has bea taken
| from the bars or banks of the streauto sat
isfy the miners that there is gold thar
There is an air of contentment an,an abb
| seuce of excitement in those with who have
conversed to satisfy me that they are ,rfectly
sure of "a good thing awaiting then They
are very COO, and calm, and that, thik, from
the fact that they know that there on be no
great influx of miners before they hav had ga
good show" The miners with snil hand
rockers, mad been averaging from S, to SIS
per day, of scale and shot gold.
Since commenced this letter CALI at the
store of Kimball & Lawrence, and sa1 yin de
cent size tunbler, 1000 of this Grahopper
mines gold, which the firm had takenrom the
miners at SIC 25 per ounce. 1t lcks like
good gold, and has evidently been gnered in
the same locality-very little diversg in its
appearance.
The population at the mines is rsd at $50
souls. On the 9th of August thy effected
an organization, called the placehs North-
western District and held an eleoon for Re-
corder, at which 2l2 votes were piled. There
are FIVE ladies and few chldrelamong the

trast With the Other is, that 60 far as my knowl-
edge OF history warrants . conclusion, the most
humane battle in any military strife, whether of
foreign or adonestic character, has been inva-
riably the battle which put an end to the war.
II there we're any possible means of settling
our domestic strife in peaceful and bloodless
manner hope you will believe that no one in
this country is, or can be more prepared to aid
10 bringing about such result. As it is, how.
ever consider myself as perfectly useless in
euen an enterprise, though by no means unsolic.
