From the St Louia Republican. The TiJie's Peak Gold Mines. - TL public will bear us witness, that we hare-sever been rery great believ er in the stories, wnien have from time to lime reached us, and been pub lished, of extraordinarily rich and ex tensive gold mines in the Pifce'a Peak regions. We have published, such ac counts as seemed to us well authenti cated, giving the names, in many cases of the authors, and leaving the rest to time to determine. That there i gold in all that region of country, as there is in New Mexico, no one disputes ; but whether, it will pay for the labor and exposure, and the outlay of the adveu ture, is to be proven, and that within the present year. We hardly err when we say, that by tho first of June, fifty thousand persons will be congregated in the Pike's Peak region, and although many of them have gone there from the love of adventure, and with no very well defined intention of doing much work living by their wits, as the phrase is there will be enough to find out the extent and profit of the gold deposit. 'The end of this year will settle the question. Those who observed the character of this emigration this spring, must have noticed the vast number who were to tally unprepared for an expedition of this kind. A black carpet-bag, an extra pair of boots, and a substantial suit of clothes, with, in every case almost, a rifle or a gun, and perhaps six-shooters generally constituted their outfit for a trip of one thousand miles. Of mining implements, or anythig to aid in separ ating the particles of gold from the earth, the exhibition was a scanty one. It is not probable that they were in better supplv on leaving Kansas City, Leavenworth City, St Joseph, Atchi son, or any other point on the Missouri river. Bat thousands have gone, how ever, and it will not be long until we shall see to what extent they have im proved their fortunes. Recently, we have understood that, while many of these emigrants have the gold fever well developed, there are hundreds, perhaps thousands-these carpet sack and devil-may-care boys who have an entirely different object in view. They start with the intention of " bringing-up " at Pikers Peak, or thereabouts, but they don't intend to stay there. It is now said that, being once there, they can readily drop down upon Sonora and Chihuahua, not exact ly as tihbnsters, but with the intention of taking possession of or at least getting a foothold in those Mexican States. Certain it is that meetings have been held by them at St. Joseph, if not other places, with a view to con sultations about the movement. If they do not find the gold diggings to their liking, then the thousands of idle and disappointed persons about Pike's !Peak will be rife for anything, and noth ing will be easier than to engage in this predatory incursion into the States of Chihuahua and Sonora. Even panting that their inclinations, in many cases, might not lead them to engage "in such an enterprise, yet starvation is 3X provocative of many wrong doings, nd it will be so with them, That -there are many men 'on the road who seriously contemplate this expidition against the Mexican States, we are well assured. . Culture of the Sorghum. In the south of France, where it flourishes with great vigor, it is gener ally sown from the latter end of April to the beginning of Juue. About the 10th of May, however, would certainly be the earliest period advisable in this country, as the frost would be apt to cut it down'and retard its future growth. The seed should be steeped twenty-four hours before sowing ; and the land be ins well pulverized, if the crop is in tended for mowing, Mr. Clarke recom mends that it should be put in drills at 10 inches distance, and 10 inches apart in the rows. If the plant is allowed to mature itself, then the rows should be 16 to 13 inches apart, and the plant" singled out to 12 inches from each other. The quantity of seed in the latter case will be 6 lbs per acre, and in the former 12 lbs. It should be put in about 2 in ches deep. The first hoeing should be given lightly, after it has been above the ground two or three weeks, taking care ntt to mould-UD the nlants which would be likely to injure the tender rootlets, which are then throwing out their til lers. After the latter period the growth of the plants is very rapid, in and six weeks it is fit for cutting, being three or four feet high!. This cutting, which takes place about the beginning of Jul v is the most proper time for making into hay, on account of the season. . It is, however, quite as valuable for green fodder for all kinds of animals, who are equally fond of it : By the middle of oi AUgusi u is nx ior me scyine again; and if the season is favorable, a third cuttting will be produced in September of October. (Jows are particularly fond of it, and, as the French says, would pawn their chemisettes (if they had any) to purchase it . They yield more and better milk when fed on it, than on any other kind of food. ., Another plan of management is to sow it in July, and cut it green from oeptemoer to soveinuer; aiter wmen the stubs should be covered with fresh dun?, to preserve it from the frost dnr iug the Winter. It will then begin to shoot in April, and will be ready to cut the latter end ot 31ay ; ami tbe second cutting takes place, for hay, in July. It is a question, however, whether, m our climate, at present, or nntil the plant has been acclimated with us, this plan would not be rendered abortive by the frosts of Spring. ;A third plan is to sow at the period between the latter end of April and the beginning of June, and allow the plant to arrive at the highest degree of ma turity our climate will admit At that stage of growth it has been found that the plant cantains double, the quantity of saccharine matter that it does when cut not ripe, or in its green state ST What is the difference between agood soldier and a fashionable lady?

PpllPllllPlil Ague Cure, FOR THE SPEEDY CTJ2S OF Intermittent Fever, or Fever nnJ Arru?, Remittent Fever, Chill Fcrcr, Damt Ague, Periodical Headache, cr Ililict: Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed for the whole class of diseases orii nating in biliary derangement, causer, by the Malaria of miasmatic countries. . No one remedy is louder called fcr by th necessities of the American people than a sure and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Sue!; we are now enabled to offer, with a pcrfec certainty that it will eradicate the disease, and with assurance, founded cn proof, that no harm can arise from its use in any quan tity. That which protects from or prevents th:. disorder must be of immense service in the communities where it prevails, l'rrrc.tth i is better than cure, for the patient escapes the risk which he must run in violent attacks cjI thi3 baleful distemperj This 'Cct.b" cxi;cl the miasmatic poison, of Frrea asi Aqul from the system and' prevents the develop ment of the disease, if taken on the lir.-t ap proach of its premonitory symptoms. It i not only the best remedy ever yet diset-vor-d for this clas3 of complaint?, "but also the cheapest. The large quantity we fcupjly lb; a dollar brings it within the reach cf even body; and in bilious districts, where FtvEU a.nd Aara prevails, every body thouid have it and use it freely both for cure and protection. It is hoped this price will place it within the reach of all the poor as well as tha rich. A great superiority cf this remedy over any other ever discovered for the speedy and cer tain cure of Intermitteuts is, that it contain' no Quinine or mineral,' consequently it pro duces no quinism or other inj uncus eiiWcN whatever upon the constitution. Those cured by it are left as healthy as if they had never had the disease. Fever and Ague is not alone the eonscqucr.er of the miasmatic poison. A great variety f disorders arise from its irritation, among v. hieh are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, (Jout, Headache. Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth ma, Palpitation, Painful Auction cf tc Spleen, Hysterics, Pain in the Bowels, Colic, Paralysis, and Derangement cf the Stcmach, all of which, when originating in this cause, put on the intermittent type, or become period ical. This " Ccee " expels the poison fieni the blood, and consequently cures them ail alike. It is an invaluable protection to immi grants and persons travelling or temporarily residing in the malarious districts. If taken occasionally or daily while exposed to the in fection, that will be excreted from the system, and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into d'scase. Hence it is even more valuable for protection than cure, mid lew will ever suffer from Intermittent?, if they avail themselves of the protection this remedy af fords. Ayer's Cathartic Pi3k, FCn ALL THE FURPOSES flF A FAK1LY FK:c!3, are so composed that disease within the r;!n;ecf their action can rarely withstand or cv de tLcm. Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse, and invigorate every portion of the human crg.'n isni, correcting its diseased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities. As a consequence of these properties, the invalid .who is bowed down with pain or physical delliity is astonished to hud his health or energy restored by a remedy at once so 6implc and inviting. Hot only dj they cure the cvery-day cctppltints of every body, but also many" forniiduM'e and dangerous diseases.

So wide is the field of it3 usefulness aud so r.u merous are the cases cf its cures, that almost every section of country abounds in persons pub licly known, who Lave been restored from alarmicg and even, desperate diseases of the lungs by ita use. "When nee tried, its superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to eecar.e ok.c?vatien, and where its virtues are kror.-n, the public no longer hesitate what antidote to er.ploy for the distressing and dangerous clfcctiors of the puhionary organs that are incident to our climate. While many "inferior remedies thrust upon the community have failed and been discarded, this has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they can never forget, and. pro duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to be forgotten.
