Hon. Ciiaui.ks J. Biont.K:
Ihur Str: My attention has brvn called
to an article in the Philadelphia Prc, as-
sertwig lhat I had written to the manager
of die Democratic meeting at Allentown,
disapproving the objects of the meeting,
and that if I voted und spoke, it would be
in f.ivnr of (Jovernor Curtin. I am in
formed that similar assertions liavo been
Hindu throughout the Suite. It has been
my puniest endeavor heretoforo to avoid
participation in party politics, und 1 had
rieteriniitril to adhere to this course, but it
m obVioui that t cannot longer maintain
silence under slteli misrepresentations. 1,
iliereforei request you to deny that I have
written uny such letter or entertained any
such views us tliose attributed to me in tlie
Philadelphia Pi est, and I desire to state
clearly mid distinctly that, having some
few davs ago line a lull conversation with
.1 wipe 'Woodward 1 find thut our views
agree, and I regaui his election as Govern
or or Pennsylvania called for" by the inter-(
ests of iho nation, Relieving tiur opinions

Tho Hon. Thomas Cunningham of
Heaver County, Pa., in a speech lately
made at a Union meeting, said :
" He had a conversation with Judge
Woodward last Fall, in Pittsburg, in refer
ence to the war and the condition of the
country. As n political friend and Judge
of the Supremo Court, ho wished to have
the opinion of Judgo Woodward, and
therefore- asked him for it. Judge Wood
ward, stated that, in his judgment, our
only ourw was to withdraw all our unities
north of the Mason and Dixon's line, and
offer terms to the rebel Stated."
Judgo Woodward has also lately given
a judicial opinion, afirmiiig the opinion of
Copperheads and secessionists everywhere,
that the Conscription Act is unconstitu
tional. Here, then, we have the platform upon
which stands the " Napoleon Little Mac."
lie would " withdraw ail our armies north
of ilasonund Dixon's Una and offer terms
to the rebel States.'" There Is "Btrutegy,
my boy." That is all JefT Davis and tho
Peace Democracy" ask for. The query
will arise, was it this extremo sensitiveness
for the rebels that constrained the Young
Napofaw to forbid the advance of the
gallant Kearny, Meagher, and Hooker, with
their legions when in sight of the spires
of Richmond,
Gen. McClellan has gone ,to bed with
the Copperhead Democracy. Undisturbed
let him lie in it. The people will now see
the wisdom of our noble President in dis
posing of this notable " Peace" warrior,
who may, for ought they care, be a " Peace''
candidate, for President but who will never
again be allowed to bring disaster and de
feat to our gallant armies., ,
TliK Good Tixik Coming. Tho people
of Southern Oregon will be rejoiced to
letirn that the long prayed for water ditch
for the working of our rich mines is about
to be constructed. A number of unsuc
cesfnl attempts have in years past been
made to inaugurate such nn enterprise, and
column lifter column has been written on
the subject, apparently without avail, until
(or the time discouraged, tho subject, by
common consent, was dropped. Miners
reluctantly left their dry, unworked claims
and followed the rush northward. Farm
ers with their granaries full to overflowing.
and scarcely able to raise money sufficient
to pay harvest hands, followed in the wake
of the miners. Ileal estate rapidly depre
ciated in value, nnd the foreclosure of re
lentless mortguges drove numbers of good
citizens from among ns. Business gener
ally becamo dull, and brick stores tenant'
less. The prospects for the building of n
ditch appeared, month by month, to lie
growing more and more gloomy, when nil
of a sudden, we arc informed by Mr. Iloff.
man, County Clerk, that articles of incor
poration have been filed by a company of
Californium, controlling 880,000 capital,
under the title of the " Southern Oregon
Independent Water Company" for the
purpose or digging and constructing a
ditch to convey the waters of the north
fork of Applegatc Creek, by way of Ster
liugville nnd Jacksonville to Willow
Springs and Blackwcll Diggings, nnd also
for general mining operations ; thut the
company expect to commenco operations
eurly next Spring nnd prosecato the work
so us to have the ditch completed to Ster
lingville in twelve months from this date.
Tliis information will strike many of our
people us too gratifying to be true. They
will not at once be able to realizo that an
enterprise of such vast importance to them
has been taVen hold of by persons compe
tent und willing to push it to a quick
am) successful completion. Dut the names of
the corporators is n sufficient guarantee
that such is tho case. Messrs. Charles
Iscnlteck, Jacob Permicn and William
WilUir.s, are practical men, who thorough
ly understand what they propose to do.
They are connected with a company in
California, experienced in wnrks of a simi
lar character, and have satislled themselves
thut u mining ditch through tho rich min
eral region mentioned, will be n paying in
vestment, and, having the money, they in
tend to construct it.
The miners of Southern Oregon are
widely and very favorably known, and from
the dute of the commencement of this en
terprise our population will rapidly in
crease. Miners long absent will return to
reclaim ground they, years since, staked oil'
and recorded, but which, for want of water
to work, they were compelled to desert.
They know that no richer mineral land is
to be found on the coast than lies iu the
region to be traversed by this ditch. By
the enterprise of the Southern Oregon In
dependent Water Ditch Company, they
can next Full fii! shims that will richly
repay them for their labor, upon which
they work the year round, eating the best
of " grub" at low prices, and enjoying a
climate incomparably lovely.

A Trip In the Mountains.
Mb. Editor. Dear Sir: Every one re
members and admires the deep and thrilling
words of Byron in his eloquent and itnpas-
sioned apostrophe to the ocean .
"Tliero In ft ilcnuro'ln tlm fmthli-M wowli,
There Is n rnptiiro on the lonely ihorp,
Thero la society where none liitriulcn,
!!y the ilcrp son, and music In it ruir.
I lorct not mini the leas hut imttirc morr,
Xrom those our frequent lntcrrlews,
In wltfch 1 stout away from nil I tinj 1-c, or liaye
boon, U'foiOrf
To mingle with the nnlrctsp, nnl fool
What I enn iter express, yot cannot nil eonccnl."
The footfall of uo sensitive man can
break the primeval silence of the contimi
ous woods without feeling this exquisite,
but somewhat lonely pleasure. It is a
pleasure mixed with the emotions of beau
ty nnd sublimity. The dark forests are
before him, behind him, nil around him.
The mind releases its grasp upon business
transactions, the imagination is tinlimbered,
and hW'wh'ote soul is ubsorbed and thrilled
with thd'passing emotions of the hour.
ThereV'Mr. Editor, I think that will do as
un introduction to a narrative of u hunting
frolic.
On the ICth of November a party of
seven, per previous engagement, met lute
in the ufternoon ut llamy's flood-desolated
ranch, on the north side of llogue Hiver.
There wero 11. and J. two Cs. II, nnd my
self. We bivouaced for tho night in Mr.
Itumy'a house. The next morning, " cuger
for the fray," we mudo nn early start for
the huntimr around on Trail creek, dis
tant about ten miles, and arrived thero
about one o'clock, P. M., nnd before night's j
sable enrtuin enveloped the woods hud sev
en deer in camp. Tho next day. after n
toilsome hunt, only five antlered beauties
were killed, and the universal opinion was
thut better hunting ground must be found.
Early next morning we accordingly started
for Flounce Rock, in the vicinity of which
deer, elk, nnd hear were said to be holding
their fall carnival. During thu day, on
our journey thither, we saw muny deer nnd
shot three very fine ones. We arrived lute
Lin the ufternoon at the designated ctimping
ground, about four miles west of High Ab
bottslook an evening hunt, and saw but
little game The eccentric and cxeitbL
R., in rushing ithrough the brush, bud lost
his scabbard-knife nnd was in a dismal
state of mind by reason thereof. He hunt
ed in connection with II. and myself. In
uscending a btusby hill-side D. suw an old
buck in his bed, Deliberately raising his
yager to tho proper range, he stood for u
moment, seemingly as motionless ns u statue
then n flush, then a roar, and the untlerW
monurch leaped from his bed und bounded
a a n. l
away, with ins colors nying, unuarmeu.
' Bring the kuife," cried tho excited 13., "1
have got him ;" but mistaken U. would
have been compelled to pass over the
ground or through the air with thu speed
of an eagle before he could havo hud the
plensure ol tickling the jugulur of that
frightened animul with the whetted knife.
A toilsome bunt, prolonged until the shades
of evening were gathering around, brought
no venison into camp. I noticed that as
each hunter came in, with disappointment
written on his countenance, ho stacked his
rillo against a tree, and then straightway
walked up to a ccrtuin keg, supposed to
bo vinegur, which, ns every person knows,
is an excellent anti-scorbutic, and took u
hearty swig therefrom, and then 6mlled "
blandly and exultingly, as much us to say
" old blear-eyed and limping scurvy I don't
fear you.", Sometimes it wonld be foggy,
then the vinegar wosdrank us an anti-fog-mutio,
und it operated like n churm. No
one got befogged proof sufficient of vin
egar's unti-fogmatic power. Convinced
that distance hud lent enchantment to
our hunting views, we retraced our steps,
and ascended Elk Creek, and made our
linul camp four miles ftom its mouth.
Hero we found game in ubundance. ,fThe
work of slaughter continued until tho vin
egar gave out, and forty-three deers hung
around tho camp, us trophies of our skill
and success. Our party, iu the meantime,
hud increased to ten, an&u iporc rollicking,
jovial crowd never entered tho woods.
Seated around a blazing camp-fire at nigiit,
merriment ruled tho hour, as each one re
lated the incidents and udveutures of the
day. Muny n wild tale was told, many a
merry nod patriotic song was sung. In
conclusion, Mr. Editor, permit mo to re
peat one of the anecdotes told on the trip,
which I think worthy of record :
" There '
was," says the narrator, " many yenrs ago
a school teacher in one of the western
States, by the name of Dowling. As a
pedagogue, he was a tyrant, and nrged his
pupils up the hill of science with the strong
motive power of birch wands, tils wilt
expressed was law obeyed. There was
terror la his nnd, and the timid trembled
when he frowned. When he said write
prnp compositions, every one immediate
ly addressed himself to the task. A whim
struck him, nnd he ordered every one ol his
subjects able to write to try their hands
at poetry. Directly every one hpgnn to
coart the muses. A blnpdering blockhead
in other things, seized his pen and dashed
off the folio winp : ,
1 Mf the iloll nyfnr to the flonth,
With Mr. Dowlltift In his month.
He piitHoitnwhllnntHl dropped the fool,
And loft him here to tench n common school.
Dowling saw it. and he was Wrath,
Nothing but the intervention of tho other
scholars saved poor Jo. from on awful flag
elation. ,
In my next I will make n statement in
regard to the quality nnd claim of the
llogue River Road. , Ex.
Grkat and Good Nkwh. The great hero
of the war, Major General Grant has
routed the rebels before Ghuttnnoogn. nnd
at latest accounts was pumicing thu flying
rebels into Georgia. Longstrcet had been
pressing Ilurnsidc, but Grant's victory wiil
relieve him, and place Longstreet in a posi
tion very dangerous. Everywhere " the
good work n,oes bravely on."
Tho Mississippi river was said by the
rebels to be the "main nrtcy of the South."
It hus been tnkeu from them. Georgia is
called the " huirt of the South" and "vitals
of the Confcreracy " by Jeff. & Co. That
' heart " nnd those ' vitnts ' are being pen
etrnted by Grant's victorious legions. Willi
tho "main artery," the "heurt " und the
' vitals " in our poscssion, what will re
main but a writhing carcass of the bousted
Confederacy. The sun mast soon Eel on
the wriggling tail of the rattlesnake.
Rktuiinkd. Mr. A. G Rockafcllow
has recently returned to .his home near
Phrcnix, in much improved health. He
hus been very fortunate in his speculations
in tho Northern mines, and in securing
claims in n valuable nuurtz lead. He has
a good opinion or the Northern mines, and
