wrltos ua from Dayton, W. T ns follows;
" iI,nm woll satlsllod as far as tho country
audollmato are concornod, ns this has boon
tho prottiost wlntor for work I havo over
soon. Tho snow has not boen moro than a
foot deep In tho Illun Mountains this winter,
as I havo worked in them nearly all tbe
tlmo. Ah a number of my old friends want
ed to know how I llko things here, I will let
them know through your columns. From
Birch creek, on tho west of tho Umatilla
mountain, to Snako river, nt Liwl.tou. h a
rich nnd productive soil over a country from
ten to twenty miles lu width and about 1M)
miles In longth. As soon ns you leave the
Hlno mountains and go towards Snako river
tho thinner und lighter tho soil go's, mid
wlion you got to the rlvor It is so windy that
groat holes blow out of tho thin soil. Tho
soli Is light and unproductive thoro only for
grazing. Uresis tho and and tho wind sola
tho sand nnd light soil Jut n whirling. Rut
near the Hluo Moun'alns Is the rlchcxt and
most promising soli I ever looked at, I wont
nxcopt Iho Mississippi bottom. I counted,
that t-prlng from a grain of whrnt, 75 full de
veloped stalks that averaged 17 grains ostit).
It was grain that fell by Itself near tho fence.
Thoso who aro living lu the valley nnd do
ing woll, my ml vie is to etlck to do well and

of mankind. England belnggeograpli
InillyHltiiated near the countries whoro
such conllli'ts aro most likely to rago,
must necessarily take iho iiiitiiitlvo In
battling for the cause, and no resort to
hophl.stry could long delay the warm
expression of American sympathy In
ber bi'lnilf. It may bo nfllrmeil. that
in the event of n war with UikiIii her
own Interest will bo tbo Incentive, and
that she will betieluatedonly bysellish
purposes. It may, also, be submitted,
that ber course toward tbo Unlt'.'d
Stales has been generally unfriendly
and hoiiiowhat Inimical; that several
times she has provoked us nearly to tho
verge of war, ami has scarcely ever
failed to advantage lttrself at our ox
peine when opportunity nerved. Hut,
for nil this, "blood Is thicker than wa
ter," and there Is n coiiiiiini.ily of huii-
tlmont and feeling between tho two
peoples that must, under such elrctim
htancos, surmount all minor considera
tions. However much public opinion
in this country may havo formerly as
sorted Itself In favor of Hussia, and
however much of frlenilline.sj wo may
feel for her, It Is eort.iin that there can
ho no binding links of sympathy nnd
Interest for her e-tiise as tho adversary
of England. Thero Is nothing In the
buys, governmniit, or institutions of
Iliisnlu at nil allied to our own practice
and deliberately nettled convictions
but iptlle the reverse. She Is autocrat
ic, tyrannical, ami illiberal. Personal
liberty does not exist In her dominions:
church and .State are united und ruled
by ono head, and political rights tiro
denied the people. Our common-hit
inlereotirMi with Jtussluls very limited'
and our expressions of mutual esteem
are little more than the lutercliamre of
diplomatic civilities. Hut with Eng
land the conditions are wholly ol an
opposite character, and aro so widely
recognized by tho Intelligent classes of
both countries Unit they need no oiiu
iiii'ratlon at our bauds. Under no cir
cumstance could an American witness
Urn humiliation of England without
heart-felt regret, and although we
might take no pail in tho coutlict as it
government, there Is scarcely a doubt
but tlr.it thousands of our countrymen
would stand by her cause with lavish
expenditure of money and blood in tho
hour of her groat need. A. '. Com.
