DEATH OF NAT. II. LANE.
- Nat. II. Lane, eldest son of
Gen. Joseph Lane, died in East
Portland, on the 22d inst. nt, jit
ter an illness of a cotsptc years in
. uurauon. , .
The history of Mr. Lane's lite
has already been well f.Id by jour
cotemporariefl, aud it is needless
lor us to speak of him, his trials
or business occupations. It is
our auiv to speaK or mm as we
knew him, and pay our last tri
bute to the memory of one who,
while living, wa-j our true triend,
na wuora wo legaraea as oce
or lioa 8 nooiemen a true man.
A 1 t a
In all hisvarious business trans
actions in this State, dating from
the tall of 1819, Nat. II. Lane
bore the reputatiau of an honor
able man that is the dead man's
"reputation (that which lie left be
bind at the close of life) would do
credit to tho most exalted citizen,
and those whom the world would
speak of as honorable) stead last
and Joying to the lastr Genial,
"whole-souled, a friend to the
poor and needy, an enemy to
all deception, possessing the
energy needed in the head of a
. w .....
family and the manager of busi
ness enterprises, he made himsse!
.a necessity in the community in
'which he lived. Possessing al
-these qualities he was a great cit
:zen; remaining all said ol him
contrary to the eneral rule, h
was u man without enemies, and
;yet a man of s'erling worth.
Those who knew him wi
mourn bis departure for the home
of the stars, wondering why
is : .
"Le&Tos have iboir time to fall

natiug between thos whom the
world can ill afford to lose and
those whom it would be a b'. ess
ing to take away. But such is
Jite. It it be an bonoraDle one
made by man, the great Tax,
gatherer of Nature comes to him
without frightful form, but as the
harbinger of future rest and hap
piness. And so it must be of
Nat. Lane; he: has received his
reward after a true lite. Surely,
if goodness on earth will weave a
crown in heaven, he has one, and
if, his crown is as large a3 was
the kindness of his heart, indeed
he must be a great angel.
V.a
Sine of Hammond's Converts.
We notice the following para
graph from the Portland Bee:
"Charles Gaul, who hot figured
extensively in this city tor years
past, was up to-day on a charge
of lying drunk on the streets, for
which pnense the iestive Charles
was compelled to pay a hne of
$10."
Charley Gaul was one of that
great bilk's (Hammond) converts
one ot the immortal 3,000
who Hammond reporte 1 in the
Eastern States as having "turin d
trom. the ways oi sin" iu Oregon.
It bas often been said Charley
made three horses during Ham
Riand's revivnland while praying
at the "mounierV bench." He
found a rope,aud the horses were
tied to it. But Hammond did
n'pt are; it was tot expected of a
mauwho, in the interest ot excur
81011 managers, cried, uOnly 50
cents to Owgon City, and a tree
ticket to heaven." '
Tiaallan War.
Since the killing of Eagan, the
chief: commanding the hostiles,
the Indians have been breaking
up luto small parties and retreat
. ing back to Idaho. The tnops
are tollowiug aud
closing
in on
the Indians.. The Indians seem
to be making iu the direction of
Malheur. It is thought that the
liostiles are making for this point
wiih a view of surrendering.
GOVERNOR CIIADWICK.
: gentlemau arrived in
jrg Thusday evening. He
naa juet returned from Eastern
Oregon,where he has been watch"
ing the movements ot the hostile
Indians, and rendering what aid
os8ioie to the settlers beseiged.
Iu a short conversation the
uoveruor stated that he beheved
he Indian war is over so far as
his State iconcerud. The
Umatilla Indians having decided
9
ojoin the whites, the Governor
is satisfied the hostilea appreciate
he fact that they can expect
no friendship from Indians fin
Eastern Oregon, or look for sup
dies where men of their owu na-i
ure aud avocation are watching,
to preent them securing . the
same.
The greatest victory yet achiev
ed, the Governor declares, was
when the Umatilla Indiana were
prevaied upon to join the whites
in actue hostilities asrainst the
hostiles. The hostiles evidently
had some reason to believe the
Umalillas would join them when
they ' reached Umatilla county.
Had thev done so, the soldiers
and volunteers in the field, even
with the aid that might have
been rendered them by tho set
tlers, could n )t have prevented
the hostiles from swee ping very
thing before them. As it was, the
UmatiWas fought effectually, and
did as much as any Xiue else to
stop the advance and. tuccess ot
the savages.
The Governoi looks ds though
the trip east of the mountains
had been a trying one to hin . He
is considerably reduced in flesh
and has the appearance of one
who has done considerable hard
work. lie will return to Salem
to-day.
NEXT UNITED STATES SENATOR.
The press of the State is argus
ing as to the eligibility of. certain
candidates tor United States Sen
ator, among whom are Jqdge
Prim, Judge Burnet et u. A
glance at the State Constitution
and Oregon Statutes would save
much needless comment, and. we
would advise our cotemporarien
to spend a little time in their
way. Judges Prim and Burnett,
if written to, would doubtless
give all the information desired;
and ihose who doubt should seek
knowledge tfrom them. IVe can
not but think that Judge Burnett
is not Senator from Benton coun
ty until he qualifies and takes
tue oath ot office. As to Judge
Prim, the law forbids the p issibil
ity of his sepiring to the oflice
of United States Senator, or any
other, ro long as he is Judge, even
though his term of office pbonld
expire just prior to the meeting
of the Legislature. The law is
very plain as regards the candi
dacy ot Judge Prim.
Returned.
Messrs J. L. Williams and S.
C. Flint, with their families, came
the headwatere of the North.Ump
qua. The entire party appeared
to be in the best of health; Of
their mines, the gentlemen speak
in highly satisfactory terms. They
have their ditch about completed,
and from the prospecting they
have done they are assured in a
very short time they will begin to
take out gold in well.-paying qi al-
ities. VVe hope all ther anticipa
tions of future good fortune will
be fully realized.
