mm awwawtwi rum hiimi'iiii hi THE ADVERTISER. R. W. FURNAS. EDITOR. European War. As the European war bas actually com menced there is, undoubtedly, great anx iety in the minds of many of our people to know what it is all about. We do not profess to be accurately posted in regard to all European affairs, but we understand the ostensible reasons for present diffi culties to be one thinsr, and the real reasons to be another. We know not how to give our readers the ostensible reasons better than by inserting the following extracts "Austria claims that she rightly owns and controls Lombardy and Venice ; that she bas a right to con trol them as she t eei lit ; that in order to do this she fnmt maintain with the fever.! neiirhVinrinT Italian btates euch an influence as will render her Lombar-rdo-Vcnitian sovereignty safe. Therefore, she keeps up a partial military occupancy of the central Italian btatea, and virtually rules in all Italy. Sardinia is the only Urge Italian province which is an exception. laere Anstna bas no power, and the policy of Sar din'.a. which is favorable to the establishment tX constitutional governments in Italy, is hostile to that cf Austria, which tends to the maintenance of the etrictest military despoth-m. Sardinia and France sympathising with her, on tho contrary, claim that the Austrian occupation cf Italy is injurious in its effects on the Italian States, prevents tho develop ' mcnt of that country, and is virtually in violation of the treaties and compacts of 1815. They demand the abandonment of the Austrian occupation of Italy WV. V IWt.WlM.MM H "111 IVi J PUI4 llJtb A ULItjt riiAli cease to exercise any more control in Italian affairs than the other Towers. These demands Austria refuses to comply with, alleging that her policy in . Italy is necessary to her own protection in her own dependencies of Venice and Lonibardy. Thee mat ters hare been in controversy for three years. France and Sardinia proposed in 1356 the consideration of this subject by the Congress of the European Tower?.. neighbor and thus satisf)'ing the demands of his soldiers, was, for him a necessity ; and therefore the Italian question was put forth. ,To his credit be it said, he managed the affair with much shrewdness and thus enlisted in his behalf all lovers of freedom. , - But whatever may be the causes of this war, the die is now cast, and the inde pendence of Italy will be the result.- " The following is an extract from an , account rendered the French Legislative Corps by Count Walewski Ministereof Foreign Affairs: " "The State of Italy, aggravated by the adminis ' trative measures adopted in the Lombardo Venetian kingdom, determined the Austrian Government in December last to make armaments, which soon pre sented a character menacing enough to awaken the most serious uneasiness in Tiedmont. The Emperor Napoleon's Government could not see those difficul ties arise w ithout showing itself alive to the conse quences which they might have for tho peace of Europe. Not having a right itself to interfere di rectly and to propose the means of preventing them, it eagerly received overtures which were made to it. Full of confidence in the sentiments of the Govern ment of her Britannic Majesty, as well as in the in telligence of its Ambassador in Paris, tho Emperor's Government sincerely approved of the mission which Lord Cowley went to fulfill at Vienna, as a first at tempt to bring about an arrangement; and it con gratulated itself with a satisfaction not less real on learning that the ideas cxcha?!ged between the Eng ' lish Ambassador and tho Austrian Government were of a nature to furnish the elements for negotiation. The proposition to assemble in Congress, presented at the same time by Russia, responded most happily to that situation by calling on tho Five Towers to Eorticipite equally in the discussion of a question of uropcan interest; and the Emperor's Government did not hesitate to signify its adbvrance to that pro position, ine JtngUu Oovernment, in adhering, thought it useful to specify basis for the the even : tual deliberations of the Congress. These were as fcliows: . To determine on the means tr which reaee . might be maintained between Austria and Sardinia. ".2. To decide bow tho ermMiatinn f th Tinman States by the French and Austrian armies might be best carried into effect. "3. To examine whether it would be advisable to introduce reforms into the internal administration ii Liiimn ki i ja. i.t'M miui i nn in pr ri in n;rir- t i 1 i mm administration of which presents defects evidently tending to keep npa pormancnt state of disturbance and discontent, and what those reforms should ba. 4. To substitute for the existing treaties between Austria and the Duchies a confederation of the . States of Italy amon;; themselves for their mutual protection, both internal and external. '.' The Emperor's Government acquiesced unreserved ly in those basis cf negotiation with the same readi ness that it had shown in accepting the proposition for a Congress. The Austrian Govcrament, on its eide, had given its assent to the meeting of a Con cress, accompanying it with some observations, but without laying down any absolute and formal conditions, and there was every reason to hope that the negotiations might bo opened within a short de lay, i'he Cabinet of Vienna had spoken of the pre liminary disarmament of Sardinia as an indespensa- Atk mfQnrA f.-r BAfMirintp thn AnMh&rn linna frmn lioinr. disturbed, but it afterwards made it an absolute con dition of its participation in the Congress. This demand having raised unanimous objections, the Cabinet of Vienna substituted for it the propo sition for a general and immediato disarmament, adding it as a fifth point to the basis of the negotia tions." Diplomatic negotiations thus failing, France and Austria propose to settle the matter by a resort to arms ; and the result cannot fail to be a general engagement ii .1 n . oi an tne European powers. By these summons Austria threatened that if within three days', Sardinia did not announce , her willingness to disarm', she would consider it a casus belli, and re sort to arms to compel her to submit. Of course, Sardinia did not comply with the demand, and the Austrians crossing the Ticino, invaded her Territory. As soon as the news reached France, the French troops hastened to enter Piedmont both by land and sea, and shortly we will proba bly hear that a bloody encounter has taken place between the soldiers of Austria on the one side, and those of Sardinia and France on the other. This is the apparent cause of the present war. Evidently Austria is in the wrong, and France and Sardinia, in resisting the " encroachments of despotic Austria, and endeavoring to liberate the Italians from the oppressions which for long years have crushed them, have the sympathies of all ' true friends of liberty and independence. But, we doubt very much, however just their cause may be, that the French Era peror and ting of Sardinia would have drawn the swerd, if other, secret and more powerful motives had not prompted them to do so. The aim of Victor Emmanuel is to WTench from Austria all the northern States of Italy, and, form of them and Sardinia a United Kingdom of which he will be the head ! . By the recent marriage cf a cousin cf Kspo'eon III with the daughter of the king cf Sardinia, the crown cf the future Italian Kingdom will eventually be placed ca the head cf a member of the Bona parte family, (the king having no other child) and thus strengthen the Napoleon dynasty. s TtU was, for the French Em peror, a matter of weighty consideration; and one cf his secret motives which In duced him to throw the gauntlet. A second inducement was to consolidate himself as 'the ruler cf the French nation. His chief support being the army, by which he was rs.i&ed to the throne, and it being clamor ous for wan to pick a quarrel with a The Gold Regions. Al this point, and all others we hear from 'along the river there is almost a continuous train of those who had started to the mines, and meeting discouraging reports have returned. So far as our own observation extends, not one out of every hundred who are returning have been to the mines. While our faith,, as we have before safd; in the ultimate success of the new Eldo rado", is based upon what we regard as sound reasoning, and is therefore un wavering; and, while we have not ad vised a single man to go to the mines.; and have regretted to see such an un healthy rush; one we were fearful Could not be sustained in that country, this season, at least,' we cannot but feel thauhe "great humbug" is in the thousands turning back without knowing for themselves ! We are strongly inclined to believe, too, that the return panic has in part, atall events, been brought about for a purpose ; that purpose having at the bottom speculation in stock. We all know that the demand had run up the prices of cattle", and that there was yet .a demand to supply. The result of this return stampede is that the same cattle that .sold one month ago for. SSo and S100, are now selling" for $35, 840 and 50'." As to the .mining prospects, we have only to say, that while thousands; are re turning, discouraged, disheartened and in many instances, suffering, and pronounc ing the whole affair l,ihe d dst humbug ever practiced upon the American people" we cannot but consider the news being re ceived almost daily, direct from the mines, as of the most encouraging character.' We have no doubt whatever of the explo rations, this season in the Nebraska and Kansas gold mines resulting in such dis coveries as will warrant this fall. or next spring, a healthy and rational emigration of those who will by labor and persever ence reap geld harvests. These, are our f own notions, not given for the 'purpose of influencing any one to go to the mines. On the contrary we say to those here especial ly, stay where you are ; and if you have farms cultivate them ; if not secure one and go to cultivating it. You can make more money, and with less hard labor by so doing than by going to "Cherry Creek" this season. There, are enough now in the mines. of resolute men, and who will "see the thing out;" full as many as can be sustained this. season. To those in the States whose object is "gold" we say the same. If however your object is to better your condition; secure homes for your selves and families, we say come West, and take possession of and till the thou sands upon thousands of acres of as rich and fertile land as ever God made ; and which is now idle, begging the husband man's labor, that it may return to them "an hundred fold." The following is an extract from a let ter written by Henry Allen to the Council Bluff Bugle, under date April 24, Mr. A. has been out at the mines since last fall ; has written a number of favorable letters heretofore, for which it has recent ly been reported, he' was killed at Auro ria. The Hugh vouches for his reliabil ity: . . y . "You will before this reaches the Bluffs, see some off those who have returned form this country dis couraged, and will no doubt hear all kinds of stories about the mines, pcoplo, etc. Some that have come out here say that they did so on the strength of a letter that I wrote to my family, dated Dec. 19th, '53, and they tlamc me. Well, all I have to say is this : all that I wrote it strictly true, and was at that time. .. . The first companies that came.through this spring, were hand-cart trains. They were out of provisions, foot soreand out of spirits. - As soon as the arrived, they wanted work. We had no extra tools, nor pro visions to give them. We had been here all winter among the Indians, that we had to feed, rather than havo a difficulty with them ; consequently were near ly out of jtrovisions ourselves when the first train ar rived. The most of these men started back without even prospecting, and reported along the road that there was no gold here, and that we were starving. The next trains wero horse and mule trains. They came in after meeting' thoso that were returning, and not seeing plenty of gold in our streets, and large stores of provisions, their min is being already prej u diced by those they met on the road, roadily conclud ed that there was. nothing here, and some after stay ing one day, some two days and some sooner, Btartcd back for the States. This is about the truth of the whole matter. A great many calculated that they could .make a fortune in a few day.-, and when they came out, find ing that it was going to take work to do it they were in a wild country no female tociety no pro visions but wild game they began to think cf thoir. hnppy homes ia the States, and commenced singing ' Do they miss me at homo" and at once started off to see if they were missed. Now Mcssis. Editors, for the Gold news. I am running one sluice on Dry Creek, which is paying vervwell, and to-morrow 1 h.all send up two more. TIltSE DltJGLXUS PAY FKOM THREE TO FIVE DOLLARS VLll DAY TO THE UAXD CLEAR OF EXPENSES. On Clear Crock, they make about the same. On Cherry Crcrrk, near Ilusselville, there is a company mining and doiug well, in fact bettor than we are doin;: on Dry Creek. On the Platte they are making from THREE to EIGHT dollars per day, ac- l il Lii - 1 " - V coming io me mnit-ucr wey me worh.ig. . i. - You will probably see sonw that were here. If you do they well tell you that they could get tho 'cclor" anywhere, nr,d those that went with me, will tell you that I always got from TWO to TEN eents to the pan ; but the dirt was to carry irom one hun dred to one hundred and fifty fe it. They complained that tbero was too much stripping or that the waier was too far off, and to they utoi. the back vrack. In my letter of Dec. 13,' '53, 1 did not say that the gold and water were together. I distinctly stated that there was a fortnne heroforali who would ccm, anl work for it, and had energy and would go ahead and I tay to ytt.'' "Col Honderson and party left this ciiy for the mines, through a heavy snow storm on the 10th of February last. f ' The diggings in tho neighborhood of Denver city Kill pay irern $1 to $5 per day to the man. The Colonel and pn.rty first went to Boulder city, pros pected upLouIlcr Creek for eighteen miles and found digirgi that "would pay 53 to $5 per day to the man, but a. Mr. BrookSeld and party have since ave rs red $5 each in tLe same mines, and cl. -a that SJ3 per day can be n.ad. From Boulder Cn ,.k the Col onel next went to near Lcr j'a Peak, wberoheuet with parties who had found good $10 diggings. The Cclonel left bi3 party in those mines doing well. Th gold is coarse, mixed with quartz about the sizo of a graiu of corn. The diggings extend J-along three flats, which, on an average, aro four miles long and three wide. The first emigrants who arrived this season were handcartmea and footmen, who could easily hare got employment had not provisions been so scarce. These became discouraged, returned without pros pecting, and of course gave doleful accounts. k The Col. and party left Denvercity ina fourmulo ambulanc;, met six hundred wagons that would go through, ,no hundred and .fifty moro which would go by the way of Cherry Creek, through Cheyenne Pass, to California, and passed fully eight hundred returning, not one eighth cf whom l ad ever been through co the mines. The most of them turned back at Kearney : a few ventured on to Bear Crook, tA within one hundred miles of the mines, and a still y I i . ...:t,:. ii,:.t. ..:i ClUlUCr UUIUUI.T went tlUUlll iuihj ui.irs. Col. Henderson and Sir. Totten expect to return, with their families, between the 1st and 10th of next month. Ve copy the following dispatch to the St. Louis Republican, dated Leavenworth May, 20, 1859 : 'The unfavorable reports lately received from Pike's Peak have caused a general panic among the outward bound emigrants, who are returning in large numbers. Mcanwbilo, tho latest intelligence from thu mines is more favorable than ever. The ma jority of the returning emigrants have only been as far as rort. Kearney. It is impossible to reconcile the conflicting statements, and the arrival of expect ed shipments of dust is neoessary to restore con fidence in the practicability of tho mines. Lateu. The first Overland Express direct from Denver city, arrived here this morning. Ten days only were occupied in makin? tho trip, four pas sengers came through. The Stage also brought $700 in gold dust, both scale and shot. Advices to the 9th from Denvercity, report a large force employed in building ditches along Cherry Creek. Ono long torn, with a limited supply of water yielded an ounce the Brat day. Accounts from tho mountains wero conflicting somo encouraging and others the reverse. There was still, too much snow and ico to operate to any advantage. The general aspect of tho jicws is favorable. Uola will .continue to arrive by the succeeding stages, lha miners tioiu na-'u per ounce. !-. . ' The captain of the steamer Isabella, which passed up. yesterday, informed us that the Express reaching Leavenworth on Sunday last brought in 83,500 in gold dust. . . . Since the above was in type, A. M. Handlin, Dan'l Cox and A. J. Hughesof Greenfield, 111., and who have just return ed from Denver and Auroria, called at our office, and communicate 'very dis couraging intelligence. The'y left Denver on the 3rd of this . month, and reached Brownviile in 18 days travel. They prospected 17 days and gathered nair an ounce ot cola aust. Jvir. it. was for three years in California, and.isof the opinion the Cherry Creek mines will not pay. They saw no shot or dug gold. His party went out the famous Smoky Hill route,' from Leavenworh. -Were six weeks and over in making the trip, and pronounce it really suicidal to travel that route. In some places there .is no wood, water or grass for over 100 miles nothing but a sandy desert. A great deal of stock is lost by starvation", and wagons burned for fuel, water only to be had" by. melting snow. - They passed, in going: out, 32 dead persons, who had died in passing over this barren route. ' Mr. Handlin has crossed the plains twice, starting once from .old Ft. Kearny now Nebraska City, and- once from Leavenworth. Taking a geographical view of the country, this party made for Brownviile. This route is pronounced by them nearer than any other, and a much better road. They say the road in every respect,, from Brownviile to. the intersec tion of the St. Joseph route, is the best between the Missouri river and the Moun tains more wood, water and grass. . Capt. Scott, late of the steamer Twi light, Cel. J. D. Henderson, O. B. Totten, cf St. Louis, and J. L. Sanders, a Gov ernment mountaineer, passed this city on the 16th on board the Steamer Sombart, having left Denver City May 2d. On reaching St. Joseph their statements wsre published. The following we extract from an article in the Gazette : New Principle of American lair. It appears that the Jury in the Sickles case assumed to be clothed with Legisla tive power instead of Judicial, as is usual; and by the rendering of their verdict laid aside the law, evidence, and instructions of the court, .and sought to establish a "new principle in American law,-" -viz : that adultery is a capital offence ; and the punishment to be inflicted by the agrieved. While we may be prepared to admit our willingness to forget the demands of law in cases where a. home of purity has been invaded ; involving the ruin of one, and dishonoring the other, whose previous con duct and associations proves, beyond doubt an utter perversion on the one part, and dishonor on the other, by insidious wiles, and assiduous artifices. But before adopt ing this "new principle in lav" we should consider where it may lead us. There is already too prevelant a practice of taking the law into one's own hands, and if con tinued encuuragement be given, advances will be made step by step, until the result will be absolute and universal lawlessness. There is in our mind, no better way of vindicating the majesty of daw than by adhering closely to its letter. Everywhere a wise provision of Executive power can be relied upon to relieve those amenable to strict law, andyet absolved by equity. A Baltimore paper referring to the "new principle," very sensibly says : 'How far the "new principle" is to extend is not exclusively, or are nil husbands throughout the land to bo invested with this power cf life and death, for the protection of their honor ? Is every man who may be cursed with a prostitute for a wife to be at liberty to shoot at sight, or in bis own time and at his own place, any one who may have participated in her folly and her sin ? Is tho 'principle," more over, to be confined in its cpplicition to ono sex, or docs it extend to both ? Are wives to have the same rights with their husbands, and be authorized to kill the destroyers of their domestic pace? And, finally, what provisions, if any, is to be made far those who have no natural guardian to wield in their rtenair, t&e weapons cf death-the widowed and the fatherleaa the exposed, and of limes sorely temrted daughters of the poverty and toil? Is it only the virtue cf warned women that is weak and requires the protection of Derringeri and revolvers, or ore we to hare a public assassin, armed at the public ex pense, to avenge the wrongs of the poor and tho friendless, which anust otherwise go unavenged "in the absence cf any adequate punishment by law ?" These aro some of the questions which the jury in the Sickles' case have omitted' to answer, if indeed they evtr stopped to consider, but which are none the less obviously suggested by" the most cursory and partial consideration of the detestable doctrine which they havo sought to make "a principle cf American Liw." Kansas ConstHuUtmal CorenUon South Platte Annexation. x) While we are still strongly in favor of the project of annexing South Flatte Ne braska to Kansas, for reasons we have heretofore given cur readers, and at length: we canrot V13W tiie course re o commended and adopted by the Milss meeting at Nebraska city in any other light than as operating prejudical to the movement, if carried into execution. In our opinion South Platte has done all she with propriety can do. She has spoken in terms not to ,be misunderstood, in favor of being annexed ; she has made known to Kansas and Congress her desires in regard to the matter; -What more, can she, do than wait patiently their action ? This is our individual idea; other friends of the measure may differ with us. In another column will be found the announcement of Judges of the election on the 7th of June, for Delegates from this county to attend the Kansas Consti tutional Convention.. If a vole is had, in this county, we hope the issue for, or against, will be fairly and squarely made, and thus the sentiments of the people secured beyond cavil. Let the people turn out and vote ; let theie be two setts of candidates, one -for," and the ' other "against," or if but one sett, and they in favor, ' letf the opposition simply vote "against annexation,"' the candidates being pledged to conform to the expressed will of the people, viz : If a majority of voters are "for annexation" the candidate to attend, or make known their wishes to the Kansas Convention in favor of making Platte River the northern boundary of the proposed State of Kansas : If a majority of votes be "againstannexalion;" that ex pression be similarly conveyed to said Con vention. " This will settle the matter so far as South Platte is concerned. Paul Morphy. This celebrated chess player, arrived at New York on the 12th,by Steamer Persia, from his European tour.
