The whole world it likely to prove
goldmine, at lea the "color" is said to
have been teised in many plnccs where no
body ever thought of looking for gold.
It hei unquestionably been found in small
quantities in several counties in Iowa, and
the last tlearner bring account! of report
ed minei in the llluok (lilit on I'Utte,
which are said to be very rich, and which
have caused a great atir in Kansas.
The Pugct Sound Herald says that men
re working on Yclara Prairie, twenty
miles from Sieilucoom, and getting from
three 10 tix cent to the pan. The Indian
Lad brought in word thai miner were at
work on the Nisqnally. and (letting a good
deal of coarse gold. New had also coino
in from the company which Pearson piloted
out tome week since. I tu-y were at
work on Nachcs river in rich digging.
jl'lio Indians bring in word that about sixty
men are at work on tho Yukiwa. They
Iso report about three hundred miners at
work on the Wenatcheo. Gen. Clark is
said to have sent 200 soldiers to the head
waters of this stream, where, they are now
constructing a fort. Capt. Robertson,
with about 430 men, left the Dulles last
week for Thompson's river, provided they
: failed to find good mines on the Yakima or
its tributaries.
Letters are pouring in from Victoria rep.
resenting the frszicr river mines as
grand humbug. The tide of emigration is
now stronger from tho north to San Fran
ciaco than the other way. From all ac
counts thus fsr we are inclined to believe
ihat rich mines exist somewhere to the
North east, but tbey aro yet to be discov
ered. CSr The pack trail through the moun
lain starting at Vancouver is finished, and
the viewers have guno out to receive the
job. It is only 70 miles by this trail to
the open country beyond the mountains,
and we have no doubt that it is the best
route to the Yakima country yet found
Wo bear that Government supplies for
Fort Simcoe will bo transported by this
route.
(KT Tho prohibitory liquor law, after a
variety of fortunes and muny a hard fought
'battle, in Maine, wa almost unaniinoubly
accepted by the people on the 7ih June.
The vote iu Portland for Prohibition
was 1,250; for license 23. Goshen,
Prohibilion, 251; license, none. Fal
mouth, Prohibition, 127; license, none.
These are the only towns we have seen re
ported, but they are said to be an index of
the general vote. The nvtjnrity lor prohi
bilion is so overwhelming that the law can
of course bo supported, and we look upon
tho Prohibitory luw (if Maine a henceforth
a permanent institution, Our friends
there have fought nobly amid the jeers of
rummies everywhere, and the evil prophe
cies of the "so-so or cumtux" "temper
ance (?) men," but they have finally como
off gloriously victorious, and their noble
exsmplo encourages us to persevere even
in this dark corner of the vineyard.
JST The Temperance society of this
city meets a week from next Monday
night at the Court house. Mr.Cantcnwine
has agreed to address the citizens at thnt
time upon the feasibility of a new move
which he has already inaugurated on Ba
ker's Prairie. He proposes to call his so
ciety " Progressive Association," a it is de
signed in addition to temperance to further
tho interests of morality, science, or relig
ion, by the discussion of such questions as
may be deemed profitiible by the members.
The objects of the association are praise
worthy, and we think that much light
could bo developed by such discussions.

whatever their skill in horsemanship, have
no particular fancy for being churned by
the "stifflegged" operation with which all
old Oregonians are quite familiar. The
art of laming horse without medicines or
any humbugging jugglery, it worth a vast
sum to every person who has much to do
. in handling horses. Having witnessed the
operation upon several horses by Mr.
Smith, who is somewhere in the Territory
iasuuetiog slut, we took occsii tliia
week to try our hand on one of our own
nags, a mare of five year old, that had
never been handled, and woe very wild.
We made her lie down In five minutes and
lie perfectly still, while wo walked over
her body back and forth, handled her legs
and shook blanket before her eyes. We
then made her get up, when we saddled
her and rodo her around the lot several
times. The mare was s tame and submis

work horses are which Lave been used for
years.

CC7" We hear that tlioro was a mobnerat
lc demonstration in Portland last Monday
night. It seems that on the way up Capt
Dall of the Columbia had severely flogged
a deck Land and put him in irons. Upon
reaching Portland, a company was raised
consisting of California miners who came
up on the boat and several citizens of Port
land, which proceeded to release the pris
oner on board. The officers arrested Dall
and he was taken before the authorities
and fined 950. Not satisfied with this,
the crowd made an attempt to lay hold of
tho Captain in order to lynch him. Under
nn escort of officers he succeeded in reach
ing his boat after having boon struck aev
era! time by clubs and brickbats. We
give the item as we heard it from several
persons.
3T Upon visiting McMinnville last
Saturday, we were agreeably surprised at

teacher, and has the confidence of the com'
muniiy as the right kind of a man.
McMinnville is a lovely place, and we
hope to see it prosper.
(& The Standard of last week, in men
tioning the new steamer of Cassedy,
O'Lougblin & Co., that is being built at this
city, calls it a "steam flat boat." Capt.
O'Lougblin thinks the editor was " bribed
by a glass of beer" to pen that item. The
item was a "flat" one, and we have no
doubt but it was penned under tho influ
ence of " steam," and might therefore have
been very appropriately headed a "flat
steam item."

the whole length at the rate of about seven

Instructions to Gov. Dknvkr. Gen.
Cuss has sent out his instructions to Gov.
Denver, of Kansas as in duty bound, un
der the English Kansas bill. We quote
an important paragraph from it :
"L'uder the socond section ofihe act,
yoursolf, the District Attorney, the Secre
tary of the Territory, the President of the
Council, and ibe Speaker of ihe House of
Representatives, are constituted a Board of
Commissioners, to conduct this important
election. The President has entire confi
dence ihat, so far as in you lies, (he elec
tion will be fairly and properly conducted.
Your power and your duties are suffi
ciently pointed out by the aot and by your
previous instructions. It is greatly to be
desired that the fivo Commissioners should
act in concert in all their proceedings.
Tho President above all things desires
that there should be a fair expression of
the popular will on this important question ;
and that any person who may commit
or attempt to commit the Irauus puntsha
bio under Ihe act may be prosecuted with
Ihe utmost rigor or the law. It is to be
hoped that the people of Kansas, relieved
from all outside influences, may be left to
decide the question for themselves, wbotb
er they w ill immediately come into the
Union under the provision of the act, or
win remain in a territorial cunuuion un
til their population is equal lo the number
required for a Keprescntative in Con
gress."
Gen. Cass advised that Gov, Denver
should not convene the board till the now
District Attorney was appointed, but his
advice was not followed. Tho board met
and very wisely appointed tho first Monduy
in August as the election day for the Ter
ritory. The people are then to vote upon
the Lecompton Constitution. Tho day
chosen is also tho day for the Slate election
in Missouri, and the Border Ruffians will
be wanted at homo then.
05" On the 3d of June at Lawrence,
Kansas, an affray occurred between Gen.
James II. Lane and Gaius Jenkins, the lat
ter nn old and well-known citizen of Law
rence, in which Jenkins was instantly killed
by a shot from a gun in the hands of Lane.
Some of Jenkins's friends then fired two or
three revolver shots at Lane, one of which
took effect in his leg. The original cause
of the misunderstanding between them
was a " claim" which has been in dispute
between thorn for more than two years
The immediate cause of tho late affray
was a well in Lane's yard from which Jen
kins was in the habit of using water.
The water getting low, Lane requested
Jenkins not to como on the premises for wa
ter, but the request was not heeded, and
Jenkins persisted in going to the well, and
even cut down Lane's fenco once or twice
to open a nay. At the time of the killing
Jenkins was armed with a Sharpe's rifle,
nud his companions, a iin. hew and two t
hired mm, with revolvers. Jenkins com
menced cutting down the fenco with his
ax. Lane came out unarmed and ordered
him to desist. He went on with the chop
ping, nnd Lane went into the house and
eturned with a single-barreled shot-gun.
3y this time the fence was cut down, and
'(.'iikins, with his ax in a menacing position,
.ordered his companions to come on. They
did so, with ih-'ir revolvers drawn and
cocked. Lane fell back, repeatedly or
dering them off, and threatening to shoot
unless they left, but they continued to ad.
vince, when Lane fired at Jenkins, who
instantly fell dead, without advancing an
other step.
Lane's wound may cause him the loss of
a leg. Jenkins, as well as Lane, was a
frqe-Stnto man.
The Inundations in the West. Are
we ever to hear the last of the floods in
the West ! Each mail brings tidings of
some new disaster. The telegraph has
only just ceased to recount the tale of the
crevasse in New Orleans, when it is called
into operation lo describe that of Missis
sippi. Atoturr points above these there
are brief account of oriflow. . And in
the North-west, tho inundation has been
without parallel. The storm of tho 12th
Juno almost laid the whole prairie land of
the West undnr water. The Wabash and
all the other valley are converted into
lake. The river has risen so high above
it banks, that every wharf and levee, be
ginning with that of St. Louis, is under
water. On the upper part of the river, the
paper contain account of twelve towns or
village! which aro either partially or
wholly destroy od or submerged. Cairo Is
a mere wreck ; the Illinois Central Com
pany must have lost nil their workshops,
(lores, oars, track and wood.
It is estimated that in Louisiana alone
the less of sugar caused by the inundation
is equal to $3,000,000 and that of cotton
94,000,000. It may be said, perhaps, that
allowing fairly for the destruction of corn
and other crops in the Northwest, of rail
road proporty, real estato and dwelling
houses, the total dnmage by this spring's
inundation is not less than twenty five mill
ions of dollars,
This calamity is not wholly unredeemed.
The submerged lands on the Mississippi
will yield vastly increased crops for tho
next few years, and the loss of corn in the
West will enhance tho market value of
that which remains. There is some good
in every ill. N. Y. Herald.
W A terrible catastrophe happened on
the Mississippi river on Sunday morning,
June 13. The steamboat Pennsylvania,
while on the way from New Orleans to Si
Louis, when ot Ship Island, about seventy
five miles below Memphis, exploded hor
boileis, caught fire and burned to (he wa
ter's edge. Of three hundred and fifty
persons on bo ird, it is believed at least one
hundred perished, whilo of those saved
nearly all were more or less injured.
Tho survivors floated down the river
about half an hour before any assistance
came to (heir relief ; when a flat boat
was cut loose from its moorings by a party
in a log cabin and the boat drifted dowo the
stream; luckily it came in contact with
tho wreck, and in a few moments it was
filled to overflowing; About 125 or 140
got on Ihe flat boat and pushed away Irom
the wreck, leaving SO thereon. Il as the
intention to let the flat bout flout ahead lo
a tow-head not far ofT, and after discharging
her freight, shove her out and allow her
lo again float towards the wreck. Hut be
foro this could be accomplished, some bar
rels of turpentine in the hold of the wreck
ignited, and in a few moments the whole
mass w'as a sheet of flame. Every one of
the fifty left upon it was in a short time
reduced to ashes.
It was thought that there were about 30
ladies in tho ladies' cabin at the lime of
the explosion. Nonoof them were injured
at that time, but on the wreck that was
consumed by fire there were many ladies.
At the point of disaster, the river is at
least two miles wide. The whole country
is submerged. There was no hope for the
very best of swimmers. The river swept
with tremendous force through the cliu'e
and bottoms, nud. in n very short lime all
thnt could be seen of the ruin was a smol
dering mass resembling burning brush half
smothered by water.
THE MOU.MO WAR F.NDtl).
Ry the following accounts it may be
seen that the Mormon troubles are at an
end. On tho 10th June the PresiJcnt sent
the followiug mcssago In Congress:
A message was received from the Pres
ident enclosing a copy of a dispatch from
Gov. Cumming, dated May 2, received at
the Stale Department yesterday. From
this, the President says, there is reason lo
believe that our difficulties with Utah
have terminated and tho laws are restored.
He congrat ulatcs congress on this a uspicious
event, expresses the opinion that there will
be no occasion to make the appropriation
for the three Regiments of Volunteers re
cently authorized for the purpose of quell
ing the disturbances in Utah, and for the
protection of the emigrant trains and sup
plies, and says that Texas can be defended
by the regular troops now within her lim
its. The I 'resident is the' more gratified
because the events in Utah will afford
gome relief lo the Treasury, and not require
a loan and additional taxation of the peo
ple. In a letter to Secretary Cass, Gov.
Cumming says ho left the camp on the
5th of April, en route to Salt Lake City,
accompanied by Col. Kane as his guide,
and two servants, in passing through the
settlements he was greeted with such res
pectful attentions as wero due to tho rep
resentative of the executive of the United
States.
In the Territory, near Warm Springs,
nt the line dividing Great Salt Lake from
Davis County, he was honored with a for
J and respectful reception by many gen-
llcmcn, ttluiuw,... biiu uiuiiivi-
i. .j:.. tl. nr..-.. ..::
pal officers, and by ihem escorted to oJ
gings previously prepared for him, the
Mayor occupying a sent at his side in his
carriage. .x-Uovernor Young paid him
a visit ot ceremony as soon as lie was sut-
bciently relieved of the fatigue of his iou
ney to receive company. In a subseqaent
interview Young evinced a willingness to
atlord mm every facility be might require
lor the efficient perlormance ol Ins admiuis
Irative duties. Young's course in this res
pect, Governor Cumming fancied, met
with the approval of the majority of
the Emit Lake community. Ihe territo
rial seal, with other property, was ten
dered Gov. Cumming by Win. II. Hooper,
late acting Secretary of the Territory.
1 lie records and library remained unira
paired.
Gov. Cumming entered on the perform
ance of his official duty with profound re
gret when he learned that Acent Hart
was charred with having incited to acls of
hostility the Indians in Vinta Valley.
m. e. tt .
i ue iniormuiioo came irom iiooner. uov.
Cumming hopes that Hart can vicdicste
himself from the charges, yet he thinks
tbey demand investigation. Gov. Cum
ming had informed Geo. Johnston ihat be
suouio proDauiy oe compelled to make a
.I . , . . ... .
requisition upon him for a sufficient force
to chastise the Indians. At every point
Gov. Cumming was recognized as the
Governor of Utah, and received with mili
tary salute. There were illuminations in
his honor. Having beard numerous com
plaints, Governor Cummins caused a pub
lic notice lo be posted, sigmiying bis read
iness to relieve those who deemed them
selves aggrieved by being illegally re
strained of their liberty and assuring pro
tection lo all persons. He kept his office
open at all hours of the day and night, and
registered oo men, S3 women and 71 cliil
ilrcn desirous of bis protection, and evin-,
... I. -l .
would leave for the South on the 3d of
May. He says that ho will restrain all
the proceedings of the military for the
present, nnd until he snail receive addi
tional instructions from tho President.
On the reception of this peaceful intelli
gence, Gen. Suott was at onco summoned
lo Washington, for cousultation, and il has
been stated that orders were sent by ex
press lo stop the roinfurcements now on
their way to Utah, but to forward the sup
plies already in motion, as a largo body of
troops would be needed iu Utuh for some
time. Tho next news we had wns, that five
days luter advices had reached Washington
from Camp Scoll, which made it certain that
Gov. Cumming had been deceived as to
tho intentions of the Mormons; that he
was virtually a prisoner in Salt L ike City ;
the Mormons wero fortifying themselves
at every point, and were as much deter
mined to fight as ever. The vrry latest
telegraphic advices, I ovrcver, re affirm the
peaceful news first received, and in this
delightfully mixed up condition the Uieh
news must remain until further advices
substantiate or deny the prevailing reports.
The following are our latest dispatches:
Washington, June 15. Contrary to
the advices sent from hero lo some of the
press, the war Department has received no
later dales from Utuh lliau those from
Gov. Cumming. Ihe view of some ofli
cers of the army as expressed in letters is
thai he went into Salt Lake City too hasti
ly J that he has been deceived,' and that
the Mormon friendship is not to be relied
upon. Il will bo recollected that the
army was sent to Utah as posse comitatus,
subject to the orders of Gov. Cumming,
and is not lo move without his direction.
There are no new developments by the
last arrival. The Army will movents re
cently directed, branching ofTat such in
termediate localities as require protection.

Crigham Young had delivered the creat
seat, records, eto., which it was supposed
iiaa oeen destroyed, to Uov. Uumming.
OiT The Washington correspondent of
the ti.Y. Times is responsible for the sub
joined bit of gossip respecting Mr. Douglas
and the President:
The rupture between the President
and Judge Douglas has been rendered
more durable by recent occurrences. A
number of very extreme Southern men,
not yet prepared to break with tbe North
ern Uemocracy, waited upon the President
last week, and represented to him that thev
could not afford lo drive Mr. Douirlas into
an alliance with the Republicans, or lo per
mit him to be crushed by them. It was
therefore necessary to the cause of the
Sooth that Mr. Douglas should be returned
to Ihe Senate, and thai event might depend
upon the patronago of Ihe Administration.
Mr. Buchanan instantly betrayed alrons
and vindictive feeling. He declared that
he would not slay hit hand; that it was
Cing a deposition VI proccruwg iu ius
United States, A large majority of theso
people were of English birth, and wre
promised assistance. Gov. Cumming says
his visit to the Tabernacle will never be
forgotten. There were between 3000 and
4000 persons assembled for the purpose of
public worship, and there was a most prfl.
found silenco wl.cn he appeared.
Ilrigham Young Introduced him by
iiamo as Governor of Utah, and he (Cum
ming) addressed iliem for half an hour,
lulling them to uphold the Constitution
and the laws; thnt he would expect their
obedience to nil lawful authority, at ihe
same lime a-suring them of hi determina
tion lo administer equal and exact justice,
etc. He was listened to respectfully. He
invited responses to his speech, and several
spoke, referring in excited tones to ihe
murder of Jos. Smith, to the service ren
dered by the Mormon battalion in the Mex
ican war, and recapitulating long chapters
of their wrongs.
The tumult fearfully Increased as they
progressed, but an appeal from Young re.
stored calmness. Several afterwards ex
pressed regret for their behavior. Gov.
Cumming proceeds lo describe the exodus
of iho Mormons, saying the people, includ
ing the inhabitau't of Sail Lake, in the
northern part of the Territory, are leaving.
The roads everywhere are filled with wag
nns loaded with provisions and household
furniture. Women and children, often
without shoes or hats, are driving their
flocks, they seeming not only content but
cheerful. It is the will of the Lord, they
say, and they rejoice to change the com
forts of a homo for the trials of the wilder
ness. Their ultimole destinies were not fixed
on. 11 Going south," seemed to be suffi
cient to designate the place, but from pri
vate remarks of Young in the Tabernacle,
Governor Cumming thinks they are go
ing to Sonora. Young, Kimbal, and most
of the influential men had left their com.
modious houses to swell tho ranks of the
emigrants. The masse everywhere an
nounced lo Gov. Cumming that the torch
will be applied lo every dwelling indiscrim
inately throughout ihe country as soon as
the troops attempt to cross tho mountain,
and that although their people were scat
tered, they would take every nuans to
rally them.
Gov. Cumming says that ainne of the
Mormons are yet in arms, and speaks of
the mischief thry are capable of rendering
ns guerrilla. The way for the emigrant
to the Pacific was open. Gov. Cumming
no longer desirable to keep terms triiL
