THE NEW GOLD MINES.

Major Dawson and Major Clark of the
American Fur Company, also Mr. Wordeu
OF Bannock City, arrived here in Mac
NAV direct from Fort Benton, a few days
since, and left for St. Louis on the Robert
Campbell, last Sunday. They bring val
liable intelligence from the Upper Missouri
mining country, and their long expert.
ence, intelligence and we'll known integrity
gives to their statements unusual interest.
Besides this they carry with them the
most uncomfortable proof Of the exis-
lance Of gold above, having in their pos
session several hundred pounds Of pure
dust, and some beautiful specimens Of
nuggets and cold bearing quartz. This
party left Bannock City on the 25lh Of
last month. This place contains some
100 houses, and is the pioneer city of the
upper country, although several others
are being rapidly settled in the neighbor.
hood of the mines.
They represent that there is good road
from Fort Benton to the mining region,
and that the trip can be readily made in
twenty days with OK teams. The country
already contains about 60 females and
goodly number Of miners, with others
constantly arriving from she Pacific slope.
Prospecting has thus far been confined
to limited region, but no doubt is enter.
tanned that the supply is inexhaustable.
The specimens Of quartz which these gen.
tlemen exhibit is so sof, as to be easily
crushed, and innumerable particles of
gold are distinctly visible upon the entire
surface. They report the winters as very
mild, and that a considerable portion Of
the country is we'll adapted to the raising
Of all kinds Of vegetables without riga
ton. With their rude implements and
want Of facilities miners are already doing
AS we'll as in any mines yet discovered,
while some more fortunate ones are rapidly
accommodating large sums.
The Indians in the region Of the mines
are friendly, though in :raversing wha, is
called the Mullen rou'e to Walla Walla,
hostile tribes are encountered which make
it necessary to go in considerable force
Mr.. Werdeu was captured by the Black
Feet on this route and barely escaped by
falling in with Major Dawson.
To persons who are ready to start with
the mountain boats which 20 up in May
and June, the best route to these mines is
via Fort Benton which will require less
than 200 miles land travel. But such as
are no. ready, or who may prefer to 60 by
land, will End the route Of Lieut. Warren
up the Running Water, q very excellent
and direct route.
Most of the party who came down will
return by the boats which go up this sum
mer. There is no longer any room to
question tho value of these mines.

CONNECTICUT SECTION,

The late election 10 Connecticut teaches
an important lesson from which the Dem.
ocratic party in our own State would do
veil to profit. It is conceded by leading
Republican papers that majority Of the
voters of that State are opposed to the
radical measures of the Administrations
The conservative masses would have given
orr ticket an overwhelming majority had
the same issues been presented as in New
York, but as averse as the people are to
war, with all its horrors, the sentiment of
the Nation is beyond question in favor Of
making the sacrifice, which its con,inu>
aaee imposes, rather than Yield to terms
Of peace at once disgraceful and des,ruc.
tive of the Union. The idea of obtaining
an honorable peace by an armistce while
the South with one accord con,emptuously
reject all overtures based upon recon-
struction, is preposterous. 1t is virtually
yielding to their demands and abandoning
forever all hopes of saving the country.
The course OF the Administration pres
sents issues broad enough to defeat any
party, but to be made available they must
be presented with view to reformation,
and to make more successful the efforts
that are put forth TO save the Union.-
While we maintain the incompetancy Of
the patty in power, and attribute the pro-
tracted struggle in which we are engaged
10 the ruinous radical policy which now
prevails, We must nevertheless stand BY
our old flag and resolve that it shall not
be iguon,iniously lowered to any foe.
There is no doubt but very large ma
jority OF the people would most gladly
vote for other measures and other men,
but there must 5e an assurance that by
20 doing errors will be corrected, and the
war prosecuted to a successful issue
There is an abiding faith that we have the
men, the money, and the material to crush
the rebellion, and the party having the
control of affairs which fails so to use
them us to meet the public demand. will
be repudiated so soon AS another party is
able to create a reasonable assurance Of
better management. Such was the result
in New York, and such would have been
the result in Connection. had the same
course been taken.
The time is drawing near when our own
State Convention will be required to
assume distinct position. With the Con.
necticut Platform We shall be beaten
while the patriotic position shat secured
the election of Gov Horatio Seymour will
unite the conservative masses. and in all
probability enable US to make Iowa once
more Democratic.

"THE CORN swINDLE."

Our friends of Omaha and Council
Bluffs are sorely troubled ut their failure
to cause a revocation of the order COM
manding the Second Nebraska Cavalry to
report to Gen. Cook They have all a,
once become excessively economical, and
unquestionably hope to accomplish their
end by breaking up the entire arrange
ment for frontier protection any where
else than at Omaha City. Now We can
readily comprehend that it would be very
profitable to Omaha to have Regiment
stationed there 20 consume their surplus,
but the economy of the arrangement is
not so apparent, We have no objection
to q thorough investigation of the Corn
Swindle," nor any disposition to help the
guilty, il there be such, to cover their
tracks. We have only to say tina. the at.
tempt to attach odium to any one con.
nec.ed with the military establishment
here, because of this transaction, will be
failure. And we further submit to these
watchful guardians of the public treasure
tina. supplies ia abundance having been
already forwarded to this place for SUBJ
sisring these troops, Government has
already sustained greater loss by the
detention Of them a. Omaha than would
equal the loss upon the "Corn Swindle.'
We grant that the Second Nebraska was
ORGANIZED for frontier protection. So were
the troops in Northern Iowa, but with
what show of propre,y can we therefore
assume that all the settlers west Of US
must be killed before the services Of these
men are to be made available. If the
frontier Of Iowa or Northern Nebraska
is assailed, it must be through Dakota
Terri,ory-ard if the best policy for pro.
lection, present and future, is to make an
offensive movement against the enemy it
must of course be made where the foe is
to be reached, and to say that troops shall
not 60 beyond the borders of their own
State is virtually to sacrifice Dakota, and
20 invite the Indians TO come down in
force to our own lines. Such a pulley
would at once destroy all hopes of success
and defeat the entire plan of operations
which has been adopted BY the War
Department

For week past, the Iowa 9th Cavalry,

now left for Sioux City. 1t is fine regi-
ment, and differed by good, noble, and
brave men. What is extraordinary about
the regiment is, that you cant find a sim

there was one, his peace of mind would
be somewhat on the decline Every man
is Of the true blue, aud never think it dis.
grace to be called n " Copperhead," that
emblem of liberty. They are all disSa,is
fed with the policy Of the administration,

The Black Republicans, excessively
fond Of applying pet names to their oppo.
nents, are now very industriously apply.
ing the name Of "Copperheads' to the
Democrats. We like it much. There is
an applicability about it which speaks out
boldly and has palpable meaning.
The Comprehend" is peculiar to this
country; a fearless, independent snake
that knows its power, and when disturbed
or interfered with, uses it ; it is brave
snake, and therefore naturally tolerant,
harmless aud passive but take care you
do not ,rampIe upon it; for i, never runs
except to attack its foe, and its bite, when
once aroused, is awful.
Now, the Representative of the Repub'
lican, opposite to the copperheads, is the
Blacksnake. And here, too the anology
is complete. The Blacksnake is cow
ardIy, kissing, thieving reptile. He pos
sesses somewhat the power 10 charm. but
he always charms the innocent to des-
tructon. He robs birds nests, visits the
barn yard aud sucks hens eggs. and will
often be curled around the legs Of cow
sucking her milk, just as Back Republi.
