Gently discovered a lost city, situated in
the midst of an almost impenetrable
forest. The forest was looked upon by
the Spaniards and Indians as the abode
of demons and giants. hence none ever
dared to enter it. Trees hundreds of
years old were growing among the ruins
of the city, showing that it had been
abandoned,before the days of Cortez, and
the architecture of the buildings is of an
order hitherto unknown OH this CONT

THE ANTI.JOHNsON STATE NOM.
NATIONS.

In another column We publish the
nominations made and the resolutions
passed at the late State Convention Of the
radical disuuionists of Iowa.
The nominees are men of small ability,
and all belong to the Stone-Orwig-
Holmes clique Of Iowa radicalism. r. Il.
Stiles, the candidate for Supreme Court
Reporter, was chairman Of the Legislative
committee last winter to white-wash
Stone & Co. for having stolen $34 900 from
the Swamp Land Fund of the State, and
all the candidates have apologized for and
sustained the thieves. The candidate for
Register of the State Land Office, will be
recollected by many Of our readers as the
same BOBBY who made such an exhibition
Of his asinine propensi.ies at Casady's
Hall few years ago.
The resolutions do not contain that de-
Gant ring which characterized the resolves
of the Jacobins during the .palmy days
Of shoddy and corn contracts. They
neither denounce nor endorse the present
State officials; but by their silence taci,ly
sustain the corruption Of those who rob-
bed the Swamp Land and Orphans Home
Fund Upon the niger question the
resolutions are little more explicit
they denounce the President and sustain
the Rump Congress. But the only point
upon which they are emphatic is their
endorsement of negro suffrage and negro
equality. This is as We expected, and as
it should be. The niger is the life Of
the radicals. Without him the part dies
and it would be suicide if they failed to
patronize that which sustains their vitality.

Dying, Dying, Dead.

Tho N. Y. Sun (moderase Republi-
can), is already engaged in writing tho
obituary Of the Republican party. AS
Stunning the event to be certain, it steals q
march upon its contemporaries, by giving
a biographical sketch in advance, under
the head Of "a Dying Political Party"
closing as follows:
"The Republican party is now running
GU: it's sands Of life. A little while long
or and it will be laid upon the shelf with
the defunct parties of other days, and
history will write for it this epitaph: 1t
outlived its usefulness"
The Tribune owns up that the party is
about to die, but hopes for a glorious res
direction not in this world, we assume,
but in the next. Says the Tribune:
1--WE deem it quite probable it tits re-
constr uc,ion policyl might put the nex.
Congress against us, and SO let in the
seeded States on their own terms but
on so good platform it is safe to die, in
the full assurance Of q glorious resurrec-
tion.'
We fear that 70. such sinners there will
be no resurrection.

have no hesitation in saying that this

river route. There are numerous and
beautiful little creeks with sound gravel
bottoms, aud water the purest of the pure,

l have no doubt but that we shall reach

FROM FORT SULLY.

A private letter from Fort Sullv, dated
2lst inst. furnishes US the following items
Of news from the upper country:
The Indians who recently held con-
ference with the Commissioners at Fort
Sully, went away dissatisfied. They think
there arc too many soldiers going into
their country. We may do as much riv-
er travel as We please, bu. the indians
are firm in their determination to protest
against overland travelling.
The day following the departure Of the
Indians, the Colonel commanding the
post, with small party, left the Fort for
the purpose of looking up new site in
the direction Of the Cheyenne river
When ten or twelve miles out they over.

turned upon tho Colonel and his party
and drove them back into the Fort. The
Colonel Immediately set about making
preparations to carry out his original de.
sign, and to take q sufficient force with
him to resist any attack the Indians might
make on him. But before his prepara-
tons were made delegation of eight
Of the head men of the tribes returned to
tue Fort with professions of friendship,
stating that the object of the Indians in
turning back the Colonel's party was to
prevent him from falling into the hands
of war party Of hostile Indians which
was in the neighborhood.

four children. Gen. Carson suggests that
the settlers take prompt measures for their
