THE ADVERTISER. II. W. PURN AS. EDITOR. THURSDAY MOSSING, JUKE 14, 1SC0. TOK PRESIDENT IN 1SC0, STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS. Of the United States. -. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, ; '. AITDREW JOHNSON, ' Of Tennessee. . : ' Tbe Slorn. From indications on Sunday last we feared a heavy storm passed south of this . place. We have since learned that much damage was done to buildings, fences, ticnber. crops, &.c. The fine new brick residence of .Mr. Scoville near Nemaha ' City . was blown down and totally de- Etroyed ; one or two of the inmates in " jured ; Mr. Dye narrowly escaped with his life ; was buried beneath the rubbish, tut providentially, shielded by one of the timbers falling over him and preventing . a mass of brick from crushing him. .' In many places corn and wheat were laterally beaten into the ground by the rain and hail. Corn will recuperate, but wheat, where the storm prevailed, will be a loss.Hndoubtedly.' In Richardson County, we learn that . crops were almost, if not entirely, in ma ny instances, ruined. , At Omaha, the Capitol building. Pi ' cneer Block, and several other buildings . were unroofed, and seriously injured. At Bellevue, three or four brick build . ings were blown down, and totally de- itroyed. . At Plattsmouth, the new Court House was unroofed, and partly blown down. Tbe Japanese. The Japaneese Embassy, after remain .ing in. Washington until the fifty thous and dollars appropriated by Congress to . defray their expenses, had been made way with, are now being Madam Trollop - " ized, and Charles Dickenized, in the cities cf Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York, to the tune of from twenty-five to .fifty thousaud dollars expense to each city. "While attentions are being lavish . ed cpon. the Embassy here, affairs in Japan have assumed quite a flare-up shape indeed ; and brought about, if we under stand right, in consequence of the treaty between that country and ours, and the " visit of the Embassy to the United States. The last overland mail brings San Fran cisco dates to May 21st, and Jeddo dates to April 23d : from which we learn that the Emperor of Japan was assassinated cn the 15th of ZIzi&yiU.vto&lzz,' says the dispatch. 'frr-i Lis House to theJ Palace,- when he was attacked by four teen Japanese, dressed as travelers. His retinue had six killed and several wound ed. . One of the assassins, who was woun ded, and could not escape, had his head cut of by his companions and carried off to prevent his being recognized. Two of the assassins were princes of high rank, and had the privilege given them of cutting" open their own abdomens, with . a sword, and thereby preventing their property from being confiscated, and sav ing their families from the disgrace which would entail upon them, had they been beheaded. Thirty persons were behead ed on the first of April, having been in interested in the affair. Since the death of the old Tycoon, under whose reign the treaty was made, there has been an entire change in the Government, the present dynasty being opposed to foreign intercourse, throwing every obstacle in the way to interrupt the trade and commerce with other nations, that they could possibly do, without acta .ally violating their treaties. Their oppo position, at the head of which is Prince Meto. is reported as being as strong as the present Government, and ap insurrec, tion is momentarily eipectecT. Houses, with stands of arms, are cumeruos, both in the town3 and along the road to the city of Yeddo. All foreigners are re quested not to go out after dark, and are advised by their respective counsels to be . armed at all times." The treaty is now complete, between the United States and Japan ; but we have no idea it will ever be observed on the part of the Japanese, except when forced into measures by Uncle Sam, ' which, under all the circumstances we reckon he will do in case the Tycoon and his subjects fail to come up to their work. We have but little faitlj in the intelli gence or integrity cf these scarcely semi barbarians. ' Duty to the community in which we are located, and whose interests, as a jour nalist, we are under obligations to faithfully guard, compel us to say that Platte Valley Money hereabouts b look ed upon with a great deal cf suspicion ; it is kept afloat; but few, if cny, like to sleep with it in their pock:., or money drawers. In fact, many, as we do, pos itively refuse to take it under any cir cumstances. We feel it obligatory upon us to say this much to our readers in re gard to the Platte Valley Bank; we have no charges to make against the Bank, or advice to give, and will only add, we are not taking Platte Valley money, in our bu siness transactions, nor will we receive it on remittances, until further satisfied.

A number of our enterprising farm ers, wno are. or tne opinion tnat tney can produce most excellent crops of corn the present season, propose that two lib eral premiums be offered by the Nema ha County Agricultural Society. One for upland corn, and one for bottom corn. The money to be raised by contribution on the part cf farmers thems Ire s. TL? - . ...

W. Frame's store and the Post Office, Peru ; at A. L. Coates store and the Post Office, Nemaha City. We hope the sum of one hundred dollars will be made up promptly, and that there will be a reneral competition on the part of the farmers cf Nemaha county : "We, the undersigned, agree to give the sum opposite our respective names to con stitute afund with which to offer two pre miums on corn crops in Nemaha County, the present season, viz: Fifty dollars for the best live acres of upland corn, and fifty dollars for the best five acres of bot tom corn.

R. W. Furnas is author ized to act as Treasurer and to receive the subscription money." Sam Houston Is out for President As was expected, Sam Houston con sents to become the "People's Candidate for President." Here is his letter of acceptance : "AusTiir, May 24th, 1860. "Messss. Atchison akd Harris: "Gentlemen In reply-to your letter of the 14th, inst., I will say that I have re f r ended to the people at San Jacinto, and consented to let my name go before the country as the People's Candidate for President. - . "In yielding to the call of my fellow- citizens of Texas, in June last, to become a candidate for Governor, I said : " 'The Constitution and the Union em brace the principles by which I will be governed if elected. They comprehend ail the old Jackson National Democracy I ever professed, or officially practiced.' "These have ever guided my action, have no new- principles to announce. "Yours, truly, SAM. HOUSTON." Douglas Dropped. "Hung be the heavens in black." The Administration officials (called onals, tor snort,) are continually announc ing the death of Douglas. He was kill ed in the Lecompton struggle, slaughter ed in the Lincoln fight, did up and done for when degraded from the Chairman ship of his Territorial Committee, slain by the Shdell Senatorial Caucus Commit tee, murdered himseif when he wrote the Harper Article, annihilated by old Jer emiah Black, and ficr.Ly, Lsid out, "A stiffened corpse," a; Charleston. It is now claimed by the few but fero cious friends of "Old Fume," that at Bal timore, Douglas will be "dropped." We agree with those functionaries, that at Baltimore, it is the intention of the friends of the Little Giant to drop him right into the midst of the fire-eaters and those defunct offals of the party, and make him by the aid of the people, the next Presi dent of these United States ! It will be Douglas or Lincoln, or no President at all ! Mark the prediction. We don't fall a feather. Plaindealer. . Platte Tallej Eanlr. It is well known to our readers, that we have always been friendly to, and had great confidence in the Platte Valley . Bank ; ; believing that the indomitable " perseverance of its President, and princi pal stockholder, Hon. S. F. Nuckolls, would work it through, eventually. It is well known and none regret or sympa . thize mere than ourself that at the re . cent conflagration in Nebraska City, the Es.sk buildings were totally destroyed, " and that Mr. N., with many others, un fortunately met with heavy losses. These facts have very naturally caused no lit tle anxiety and inquiry in the minds of the public in regard to the issues cf the Bank. We. have been asked time and " again, lately, and have been written to . from the interior, as to "How about Platte Valley Money ?" "Is it current with you?" "Is it safe to take it ?" &c, &.c. Tee Prajers or the Righteous. "I prayed fcr the disruption of the Charleston Convention, and the Lord an swered my prayers. Rev. A. J. Thorn's, at a Lincoln ratification meeting. It would seem from the above that we have done great injustice to the Southern fire-eaters, in accusing tjiem of breaking up the Charleston Convention. They are exonerated from all blamejn the mat ter. If we are to believe this Reverend gentleman, God, at hi3 instigation, did all the mischief. ' We would remind him (Mr. Thom) thas there is a law against disturbing public assemblies, and would caution him and all other evil disposed persons to- let our conventions alone. We are t suppose that if Sir. Thom had not prayed "there might be trouble at Charleston, th?3 would not have been any. The -vs&uy of some men is pro digious.

Wheth er we are right or not remains to be seen. The North Carolina delegation will vote for Dovglas at Baltimore they regret now that they did not at Charles- ton. The Fire-eaters are at "Richmond, Va. Friend Furnas: 4 We arrived here Sunday morning the 27th inst., and agree, able to promise I seize the first practica ble moment of writing you a line giving you a short account of our adventures by "flood and field" our journeyings and tarryings by the wayside, and likewise a short sketch of the general appearance of Denver City, the inhabitants thereof and the impression it createth on the mind of y Pike's Peak Pilgrim cn his first arri val in ye promised land. Nothing of interest occurred until after leaving Hackney's ranch a half day's travel, when Homer Johnson and Baker left us and went on, we camping for the day. The rest of the company stuck to gether until we reached the forks of the road. Here we nooned and spent a short time in canvassing the merits and demer its of the two reads; some favoring the "cut-off," while others preferred the old traveled route up the Platte. We had seen posters scattered along the road pre- vious to reac ;.:ir the :crl.j(-warnmg emi-. c :: nine: the cul-crTsr !. cing sandy, devoid cf twc-J 'aria p-aii dpi without wa ter excepVsuch a.3 v..strcngly alkalied. Many of whom we enquired said the road was pretty good for horse or mule teams, but recomended those with oxen to pur sue the old road. After considering the matter thoroughly, Wilcox's Clark Ed wards and two teams from Iowa went the Platte river route, while John Morrisson's Berger's, Bauserman's, Roger's and my outfits took the "cut-off." I would here recommend to all coming from or through Brownville, to take that road, as we found but little sand, excellent roads, plenty of wood, water and grass at convenient dis tances. We traveled part of the night Satur day, and daylight opening upon our vis ion, showed us a partial view of the City of Denver. From our point of observa tion we were unanimous in our disappoint ment of the place, it having the general appearance of Nemaha City from a dis tance. However as we passed through the place astonishment at its rapid growth, succeeded, and all were surprised at the energy displayed, the immense number of splendid business and dwelling houses, and the evidences of prosperity every where surrounding us. The city consists of from 12 to 1500 buildings, and all with a remaikably small exception would do credit to any city in the States, while at least one-half would be, in size, appear ance and elegance, ornaments anywhere. When you consider this younjglant js bat a yearling, and lumber ranging from 875 to $100 per thousand, it certainly speaks well for the prosperity and richness of its mines. Like most western cities in their ear lier growth and especially those located in the vicinity of mines, gamblers and wnisKey-seiiers iorm a very prominent portion of the community, and night and day you can hear the rattling of dice, the blasphemies of disappointed adventurers, who have risked their little all upon the turning of a card, and the low laugh of exultation from the successful betters. Sunday is the principle gambling day here, as those who are confined by business du ring the week, have now an opportunity of losing their hard-earned gains. Considerable excitement prevails thro'- out the town on our arrival, based up on a rumor that the Indians had attacked the whites in Gregory Diggings, killing sixteen men, and were concentrating the forces cf the several tribes tourprise and burn Denver. The truth as near as we can learn at the present writing give on ly two men killed and they were old mountaineers and traders. Great num bers of the copper-colored sons of Amer ica, of the tribes Arrapahoe, Camanches, Sioux and Cheyennes are camped at var ious distances from the City and the streets are constantly filled with them. The bu siness houses are forbidden to sell them whisky, guns or amunition. A delega tion of citizens had a talk with the prin cipal chiefs of the various tribes on last Monday, and they disdain any hostility toward the whites, and say they are only concentrating their forces for a combined attack upon the Utes. I forgot to mention that at Cottonwood Springs we were joined by Chel. Lang don of familiar remembrance, who re mained with us the ballance of the trip. Chet. appears to be the least discouraged of any in the train and keeps a stout heart and stiff upper lip. He says he can't feel poetical at the scenery, as things look blue enough without gazing at the blue-robed mountains. We all looked anxiously forward to our arrival at Denver, as a haven of rest and the end of our surmises and speculations as to the best course to pursue in the mine3. Alas! for the fallibility of all human hopes, since octr arrival we know less, if anything, about the mines than we thought we did before leaving Brown ville. Morrison's, Bauserman's and Berger's company will start for the Blue River diggins the day after to-morrow, while Clark Edwards goes to-morrow to Greg orys, and your humble servant will, in all probability wend his way toward the Arkansas mines. Hackney, Aikens, Johnson and Baker have already left for the Blue, The weather has, as a general tiling, been very "pleasant, 'as Michael says, "barren the wind of it." Sunday night and Monday forenoon we had a very hard torm of rain, the wind blowing terrific. This is the only rain of consequence that s fallen here this season, and of course was the subject of universal rejoicir.g.

Qur prospecting, no evci , has not been very successful. We have served our apprenticeship as miners, ana are now prepared to take our second de- on the Arkansas or, Colorado, whither we are now about to direct our msrrh. We tin not. however, abandon this region so much because we are dis satisfied with the prospect it otters, as because we araconfident thatjhere i;i a belt:? opening for us in the new diggings Our prospecting thus far' ha3 been nrinninnllv confined to those localities r j j which were discovered last season. As I promised in my last to give you nn idea of the extent and character or these mines, I will now endeavor to do so, as completely as I can from the limit ed data that I have been able to obtain: The mines in this region, so far as yet discovered, are located upon what is called Clear Creek and its northern tributaries a stream about the size of the Little Nemaha in your own county which finds its way in nearly a northeast course from the summit of the Rocky Mountains to the Platte, near St. Vrains Fort. The first discoveries on this creek were made in the winter of 1858-59, near the base of the Mountains, first at Air a pa hoe. and soon after on a small branch farther up the stream, the boulder dig p'mes were opened. In the spring of o o 1850, from what these discoveries indi cated, parties were encouraged to extend their search farther into the mountains, by following as nearly as possible the general course of the creek, and having advanced some thirty miles over, perhaps, as difficult a journey as was ever traversed, thy found indications of a rich mining district. At this distance the creek forks one-branch coming from the north and the other from the west. Following the northern branch aT few miles Gregory and Russel .made, their. discoveries ; other discoveries ere'fnade - about the Uame' time,, on the western branchin, the vicin- lry of what is called the Clear C reek JJar Diggings. These discoveries embrace a tract of country between the forks of Clear Creek about ten or fifteen miles square, which has been pretty thoroughly explored and prospected ; nearly all the gulches have been mined and have gene rally been found profitable probably two thirds of the gulch claims will pay at the rate of five dollars per day to the hand on an average. But the most profitable source of mining in this region is, doubt less, the quartz leads, which have been found in all places yet prospected. Little, however, can be done in working these unless more extensive preparations are made for crushing the quartz, as but few of them yield crevice dirt enough to pay the expense of working. It is only in the vicinity of mountain city, near Greg ory's discovery, that the Jeads have been opened. There is a rumor afloat that other dis coveries were made last fall too late in the season to operate in within a days travel of this vicinage, which for reasons best known to the discoverers have been kept secret, but will soon be made public. There seems to Be a general expectation that what Jias yet been discovered here is but a begining of what thi3 season will develop. . J Yours, &c, O. B. H. eek preceeding the Conven tion, additional through passenger trams making all the connections from tne Western lines, will be run from Wheel ing, Benwood and Parkersburg, (our ter mini and connecting with points on the Ohio river,) and every possible conveni- venience ana accommodation wmcu uie ntnncma roennrrps of the country can command, will be brought into requisition to serve the large numbers who are ex pected from the West. The hotels or uaitimore, anu a uiuua and private houses offer assurance of am rTAnfr.nmmodations to the visitors in any numbers, and -at ordinary prices, but if these prove inadequate, we propose to bring the extensive hotels ef Washing ton City into play, by runningjextra trains with a merely nominal fare, between Bal timore and that place, (33 miles distant) at convenient hours before the meeting and after the daily adjournment of the Convention. To those desiring to visit Washington before returning to the West, round trip tickets may be had at ' the Washington ticket offices for but two dollars addition al, which is a reduction of one-third from the regular fare at Baltimore. Four reg ular daily trains are constantly run be tween Washington and Baltimore, at con venient hours. Should the Great Eastern Steamship visit New York harbor during the period of -th-ccnTentj: 3 ) exreed,.arrange ments will be mae by this Company by which the, Western visitors at '"more can be taken to -tliat place and back on round trip tickets at reduced fare.

For the accommodation of those wish ing to attend the Baltimore Convention, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad propose to issue half-fair tickets, as will be seen by the following circular : "Under its uniform policy of encour aging Baltimore as a place for holding National Conventions, and general meet ings, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company has been the first to reduce the fair upon its own Road, and to arrange, also, with its numerous connecttng lines in the West, and the North, and South west, for a general and joint reduction, by through round-trip Tickets, for the Democratic National Convention which is to be held here on Monday, the 18th of June. Haviug effected arrangements there fore, with the principal lines west of us, for through round trip tickets between all prominent points and the city of Bal timore, and being a Baltimore work, and the only direct lin from the greater por tion of the West, we desire to have these facts as widely known a3 possible, in or der to give the fullest opportunity to en joy the route, as to seeure for cur road the legitimate fruits of its position and attraction, and of our efforts lor the pub lic accommodation. The tickets will be good for an ample period before and after the convention, to allow the holders an opportuni ty of reach ing Baltimore in good season,, and time to return home, even should the session of the Convention be prolonged.
