The Gold Mines 4m Iowa The Mineral Wealth in that State-PklIX, Marion County, Iowa,) May 17th, 1858. f Eds. Cox.: vou hava doubtless heard of tho gold excitement in this vicinity. I have concluded that it was bat justice to us and to the country, to give as nearly a reliable statement as it is possible to make. There are many wild rumors which I consider injurious to repeat. I have been to considerable pains and expense to visit those diggings which are being worked within two miles of this place, and in Marion couuty, and will state what I have seen. At Coal port, five miles distant, in a hill of coarse reddish gravel and sand overlay ing light blue clay, gold is boing procured in fine particles. They are usually round or irregular and none ol them that I have seen larger than the head of a pin.,. Mica and Iron pyrites exist ia the same vicinity, and delude the ignorant. But several Californians and jewelers and druggists have examined and tested the true particles, and pronounce them fine gold. As yet no extended operations have been undertaken there. Two miles below lied Rock, and about ten from hero on the Desmoine river, there is another party at work. Dr. Williams of California, is the leader of the party. They have a rocker at work, and are washing the giavel from a hill aide. They have been ai work mow about ten days, with only tolerable success. Dr. Williams says that he thinks it will pay to shaft when tho waters tall. A mile below Warran's mill and sis miles east of hore,a party have found larger pieces .of coarser gold, but nono larger than a poa. They are found in gravel in a side hill in a nar-tow vein of black sand. Dr. Warren and others are very sanguine of success and intend shafting. They are only panning as yet with varying success. . The highest day's earnings has been only $5; and many who are entirely ignorant, lose their small particles in washing, mud make almost nothing. Tho most successful washer is an old Californian, who is making good wages. Small particles have also been found on the stream about three miles west of here, but not enough to pay. I have also seen gold got from Whito Breast, about twenty miles from here, tmttn small particles. And I understand gold has been found near Knoxville, on the Com-petine, and have heard that tboy are turning that stream. Fou see that I endorse all but the last sentence f the last paragraph as having been under uy personal koowledge. The question new jjemaioins is, will it pay? I cannot say. Whenthostrearas are bvrer there will be some shafting dotae and art cart tell then better. Wa (eel caafidonteMSigli here to expend some labor and capital ia endeavoring to test the matter. Whilst Iana irritinff about mfuernl wealth, I might mention that there are six coal banks and three lime kilns in aotiw operation within six miles of this town. I haw seen iron ore ol fair quality about seven miles from here, and eel confident that boriag in tha Desmoine Valley, salt water can be reached m live hundred feet. One man bored much lets than that a few miles from hero, but he bad no tubing, and could not keep out the fresh water. The nixed water, however, mad salt by boiling in cajJdroo&. I have looked carefully for lead ore last week but have found enlv a blossom yet, which I considered very good. The Indians are said to have got their lead in this vicinity for many vears. and come here every fall; but they work in the night, and we have not yet found their mine. If we bnd it we wilt let you Know. Wi have here a hi eh. healthy, rolling and very fertile country. There is abundance of timber and excellent water. We yet labor under inconrenienoe of market, but two rail-roads'surveyed through this place, are finished within seventy miles ot us, ana grading is Being done nearer. The Desmoine has been in excellent aavizablo condition this Spring, and has brought up thousands of tons of freight and carried off large quantities of bacon, lead, flour, butter and eggs. ' Rents and property are now very low, on account of the pressure cheaper than they have been for several yean. Potatoes are worth 10 cents a bushel; flour $3 a barrell; bacon 7 c; corn 10c: wheat 30c: butter 10c: eggs 4c; At- arace cattle, five years old. $20. Horses of same age, $100. Improved farms from 10 to $25 an acre; and raw prnrie, from 3 to $10. Town property can be bought for cash for less than cost. As such statements should have a nam attached,! subscribe mine and will cheerfully answer lettors from persons intending to emigrate West EDWIN IL QUANT. . Iha omTiOH. Thomas fuller relates a curious incident, which is truly characteristic, A gentleman (he says) having led a company of children beyond their usual journey, they began to be weary, and jointly cried to hira carry them which because of their multitude, be could not do. but ho told them ha would provide theii horses to ride on. Then cutting little wands out of the bedge.as nags lor intra and a larger one for himself, they mounted,, and those who could scarce stand berore, now, full of mirth, bounded cheerfully home. losing all A family Soem. There it something exceedingly' tender, as well as Instructive, In the following, which we take from the Child'! Paper. A lew years ago a merchant failed In busi ness, lie went borne one evening, In great agitation. "What ia the matter7'' Asked his wife. "I am beggared. I have lost my all!" Ht exclaimed, pressing his hand linon his forehead as If his brain was in a whirl. "All!" said his wife, "I am loft." "All, papa!" said his little bovs. "here am I." 'And I too, papa," said his little girl, running up and putting her arms around his neck. "I's not lost, papa, repeated Eddie. "And your two hands to work with, papa." said his eldest; "and I can help you. "And your two eyes to see with, papa," said little Mule. "And your feet to carry you about." said his little daughter. "And you have bod's promisee," said grand mother, "And a good God," said his wife. "And heaven to go to," said his littlo girl. "And Jesus who came to fetch us there," said the eldest. God forgive me." said the poor merchant. bursting into tears. "I have not lost all. What are the lew thousands which I called my all, to these precious things which God has left me?" and he clasped his family to his bosom, and kissed his wife and children with a thankful heart. Ah no.there are many thinirs more precious than gold and bank stocks, valuable as those may be in their places. When the Central America was, foundering at sea, bags and purses of gold were strewn about the deck, as worthless as the mere rubbish. "Lifa. life!" was the prayer. To some of the wretched survivors, "Water, water!" was the prayer. "Bread, bread!" it was worth its weieht in gold, if gold could have bought it. Anti-Iecompton Sunday School. It is to be presumed that all the Sabbath Schools in Philadelphia are anti-Lecoinpton but the sentiment of one of them came out in rather an unexpected way last Sunday. An occasion of unusual interest had brought a very full attendance on the exercises of the school, and in honor of the event, the pastor or rector of the church under whose care it is delivered a capital address, which was ratho r oddity interrupted. He was giving the hun dreds of bright and intelligent little people who cheerly listened to his simple and beautiful address, reasons why they should love the Saviour. He said: "Now children you should love Him because he is a friend whom it is an hon or to have. Suppose you should get a letter from some one in the Penitentiary would that be an honor?" "Of course all the larger children said 'Not' and the hundreds of younger ones echoed "JSotxrl" "Well then," said the minister, "suppose Governor Packer should write to you would that be an honor?" The children large and small, of course. shouted "Yes, sirl" "Now," pursued the speaker, "suppose Mr. Buchanan, the President, should write a let ter to any one of you would you not esteem that a very high honor indeed ." Hero ensued an awful pause the bright faces looked puzzled, the mischievous ones be gan to laugh.nnd tho younger ones looked anx iously towards the elder scholars for their cue. Tho taller boys looked at each otner for a moment and finally said, "No sir!" and every child in tho school, great and small, snouted out tumultuously "No sir!" The teachers all smiled and the speaker laughed outright, but recovering himself in an instant, he said "Why, children, this is all all wrong! I like Mr. Buchanan. So ought you; you ought to love everybody; I had no idea of talking polities to you." lie then went on to ask them if they would not like to receive a letter from Queen Victoria "who certainly Was very estimable lady" and the Queen of England not being involved in "Le-compton," the children expressed the opinion that a letter from her Majesty would be an nonor. The occurrence ha lurnished laughter to a large circle for two days, so we violate no con fidence in giving it to tho public. ; Boys and Girls. Speaking of the plan of separating the sex es in school, Mr. Stowe, the celebrated Glas gow teacher says: "The separation has been found injurious. It is impossible to raise the girls as high, in tellectually, without the boys as with them. Tho girls morally elevate the boys, and the boys intellectually elevate the girls. "But more than this girls themselves are morally elevated by the presence of tho boys, and the boys are intellectually elevated by the presence of the girls. Boys brought up with the girls are made more positively intellectual by the softening influence of the female character." Tub Mother Moulds ths Hah. That it is the mother that moulds the man is a senti ment illustrated by the following recorded observation of a shrewd writer : " When I lived among the Choctaw Indians, I held a consultation with one of their chiefs resoectiiis the successive stages of their pro cress in the art of civilized life, and among other thiags ha informed me that at their start they JeU u.'lo a great mistake tney only sent their boys to school. These boys came home intelligent men, but they married uneducated and aaetriiizea wives, ana tne uniform result was tfcat the children were all like their mothers. Thus tho fathor soon lost all his interest ia both wife and chit dren. And now said ha. if we educate but one class of the children, we would choose the girls ; for, when they become mothers, they educate their sons. This is the point, and is true. No nation can become fully en-lightened when the mothers are not in a good degree qualified to discharge the duties of the home work of education. Now. "Now." is the constant sylable tick inz from the clock of time. "Now." is the watchword of the wise. "Now," is on the banner of the prudent. Let us keep this lit tle word always in our mind : and whenever anything presents itself to us in the shape of work, whether mental or pnysicai, we snouia do it with all our might, remembering that "now" is tho only time for us. it is, umcea, a sorry way to get inrougn we worm, oy putting off till to-morrow, eaymg. "then" I will do it. Nol this will never answer. 'Now'.' is ours; "then" may never be. . Ths Law. A celebrated barrister, retired from practice, was one day asked his sincere opinion of the law. - Why, the fact is," re joined he, "if any man were to claim my coat upon my back anu tnreaien my reiusai who a law uit, he should certainly have it, lest, in my defending my coat I should lose my waistcoat also. Senator Blldell and an Ohio Gen eral on "Taking Douglas Back." From the Washington Correspondence of tho New lorn rote. Tbt attempt of Mr. Seorotary Floyd, to wards pacification in the Cabinet, has stirred tip strife. The ire of Toombs, Slidell, Bright, Fitch, Iverson, and men of that school, is aroused against Douglas. They say they will let the people come back If they will repont, but Douglas never. I cannot better illustrate the feeling of those men on this subjoct, than by stating a conversation which occurred in (he Whitt House not many days sinco, between one of the Senators named above. (I will call him Mr. S.,) and a Democratic Gen eral of Ohio. The General, it is said, swal lowed the Lecompton pill, but not without making a wry face. He was thankful for the Conference bill be cause he views it as a submission of Lecomp ton to a vote of the peoplo. He now laboring to reunite the Democracy. He met Sen ator S. at the President's when the subject of the Kansas conflict was talked over, the gist of which is as lollows : General. " Now the fight Is over, wa must forgot and forgive on all sides, and unite again and go right on the' same as before. Those who went away wo must take back into the fold again." benator S. fwith a good deal of impetu osityl " Do you mean that wa must ' take back' Douglas t" General. "Yes, why not ?" Senator S. clenching his fist and striking it out into the air with great excitementj "I'll be G d d d i I ever I will." The conversation continued at some length. in the same strain, but without showing any signs of pacification towards Mr. Senator Douglas for the unpardonable sin he has com mitted. It is understood that Senator S. is tho mouth pieco of the Administration in the Senate. In the conversation above cited, he reflected the sentiment of such as Toombs. Iverson, Gwin, Fitch, Bright, and men of that class in the Senate. and Cobb and Thomp son in the Cabinet, as well as the President him self. So there is no more peace for poor old Mr. Buchanan ; or, to use an expression which he made about himself the other day, when a gentleman said, " Well, Mr. President, you have got rid of Kansas for the present." "Yes," responded Mr. Buchanan, " for the prestut. I hero ib no peace for the wicked ! ' " OO" The following old story is as good as new and decidedly apropos to the times : want of (Jonkipkncb. a little French man loaned a merchant five thousand dollars when times were good. He called at the counting house few days since in a stato of agitation not easily described. " How do you do f" inquired the mer chant. " Sick very sick," replied the monsieur. " What is the matter r" . " De times is de matter." " Detimes ? what disease is that ?" " De nialaide what break all de morchants. ver much." " Ah the times, eh ? well they are bad, very bad, sure enough ; but how do they ef fect you f" " vy monsieur, 1 lose de confidence." " In whom ?" "In everybody." 1 " Not in me, I hope ?" " Pardonez moi, monsieur ; but I do not know who to trust at present, when alt de merchants break several times, all to pieces." " ihen l presume you want your money !' , ' Qui, monsieur, I starve for want of Var- gent." " Uan t you do without it x" " No, monsieur, I must have him." " You must ?" " Oui, monsieur," said little dimity bree- dies, turning pale with apprehension for the safety of his monoy. ' And you can't do without it ?" " No, monsieur, not von othor leoile mo ment longare." The merchant reached his bank book- drew a check on the good old Commercial for the amount, and handed it to bis visit or. , " Vat is dis, monsieur ?" "A check lor five thousand dollars, with the interest." ' Is it bon ?" said the Frenchman, with amazement. "Certainly." "Have you de Targent in do bank 7" " Yes." "And is it parfaitment convenient to pay ue sum f" " Undoubtedly. What astonishes you 7" " Vy, dat you have got him in does times." " Oh, yes, and I have plenty more. I owe nothing that I cannot pay at a moment's no-tice."The Frenchman was perplexed. "Monsieur, you shall do me one leotle fa' vor, eh ?" " With all my heart." "Vel, monsieur, you shall keep de Vargent lor me some little year longer." " Why, I thought you wanted it." " Tout au contraire. I no vant de Vargent' I vant de grand confidence. Suppose you no got de money, den I vant him ver much-suppose you got him, den I no vant him at all. Vous comurenex, eh V After some further conference, tho little Frenchman prevailed upon the merchant to retain the money, and left the counting house with a light heart, and a countenanco very different from the one he wore when he en tered. His confidence was restored, and al though he did not stand in need of the money, he wished to know that his property was in safe hands. . .
