Pike's Peak correspondent reports Kit Carson arriving from Taos to visit Denver City. Carson, over fifty, tours the new settlement, praises its order, recalls frontier life, and warns Arapahos and Utes about potential clashes while noting his own rifle experience. A touching tale follows of a Nashville boy who regains sight after hearing opera, a sudden restoration described as remarkable.
A reflective piece honors hidden daily heroes alongside legendary figures like Lincoln and Joan of Arc. It contrasts nobility of purpose with pervasive poverty and prejudice, urging recognition, support, and compassion for those overcoming hardship while praising steadfast resilience.
The piece argues for drastic cuts in congressional pay and mileage. It cites the 1855-6 reform, condemns annual pay, and advocates $4,000 per term with stricter absence deductions and mileage reform. It calls voters to demand candidates who push Sherman’s mileage bill and broader savings.
A letter from M. S. H. Hammond explains why he would not duel a St. Louis foe and why he declined various invitations.
