Hlltlt AH FOIt SALMON !
BY MAX 1KWII1.
I looked to the north and I looked to the south,
And I saw the children of mammon ;
With boots run down and down in the mouth,
They were on their way up to Salmon.
CIIOBUS.
Then save your money, boys, to pay your way thro'
Two to oue on Salmon against L'amboo;
Don't be hasty and got into a fever,
r'or you'll all make a fortune up ut Salmon river.
AVc left Calafornia with a hundred pound pack,
Well provided agamst famine ;
We took a drink of vinegar and started on the track,
Fur it's a hard road to travel up to saliuou.
We traveled through Rogue river without any treat
Till wo got to the (.'auyonvillo fountain.
Then the L'mpqua county stuck to our feet,
lint we left it on the Uulapooia mountain.
At camp that night we all climed a tree
Tu look for the land uf promise,
But away to the north as fur us we could sec,
There was nothing but the liver Long Thomas.
The LongTom country is the best ever found,
For frogs and young ulligutors ;
After the hogs have routed up the ground,
The farmers plant their "potaters."
asked a Longtomer to sell me a " hoss,"
And take his nay next summer ;
He called me a Federal, and looking very cross,
Said "git you t'ulifuruy bummer."
I told him then 1 was only in jest,
I didn't want to take his puny.
Fur be d nee 1 his horse to pay the war tax,
And to carry the mail for Tony.

PACIFIC UNIVERSITY.
Editor Republican Dear Sir : It is, I think,
a service to the public to say a word ir. regard
to tho " institutions of Icaruing" Washin"'-"
county, Oregon charter um),- tM nam-uf

V u .
Pacifio "University."
Alio Acaaomr. as . 1Il;ii ,t. ...:,u j
mics, and iome so-called colleges, is dependent
uPj tho tuition fees for support. It has had a
reputation, for ten years past, 0f one of tho best
schools in tho country,
Tho collego has received an endowment from
many friends of education in the East. During
two years past; president Marsh labored to se
cure t..1S) rmi sllcces9i Tms endowment
of. ub'jUt $20,000, while it is not all, by any
m.'ans, that a well furnished college need-1, may
vet bo considered a guarantee to all friends ot
learning m Oregon, that tho foundations ot a
genuine college are laid among us. hue, as
seen in tho advertisement, it euables the instruct
ors to do all that could bo reasonably expected
at present in the wav of collegiate education ;
and from what is known of them, there can be
no doubt that students will bo faitfully taught m
all the branches of a college course.
In order to secure a fund for the endowment
of a professorship of chemistry, a limited num
ber of scholarships aro to be sold. lathers who
wish to secure an opportunity for the education
of their sons, and any others desirous of helping
along an institution that deserves well of tho
public, would act wisely in corresponding with
President Marsh upon the subject. The readers
of this aro referred to President Marsh's adver
tisement in another column. Much might bo
said, did space permit, in regard to the aims and
resources of this collego. lhe people ot INew
England take a laudable pride in their colleges,
in Dartmouth, in Amherst, in Yale, in Cam
bridge, in Williams, and many others ; and in
this endowment of $20,000 for the Pacific Uni
versity, at Forest Grove, Oregon, procured by
President .Marsh with much labor and earnest
devotion to the cause of education in Oregon, it
is to be hoped we have the germ of an institu
tion which shall become, at no very distant day,
an object of our pride and admiration. 15
Eugene City, Oregon, March 28, 1802. .
Axotiier Fcdob. Tho rebel Congress has
passed a resolution that they will fight till they
have lost the last man and expended the Inst
Confederate bond. What they will do then the
report does not go on to state. They hung out
a black flag at Fort Donelson, as a pledge that
fii'htins was to be done there down to the " last
man," but when we got down to about twenty
thousmd of that individual, a part of them sur.
rendered unconditionally, and the balance took
to the woods, carrying the " last man" with
them, it is supposed. At any rate he was not
discovered in the fort. Shatta Courier.
The total amount of wheat and corn received
in Chicago, in 1861 was equivalent to 01,027,000
bushels.
FALSEHOOD SILENCED.
Tho batteries of abuse w hich were openoj up
on tho Administration at occasional intervals
-during tho war, both by leading opposition ora
tors and tho corrupt presses in their employ,
have been completely silenced by tho straight
forward proceedings of tho young commander-in-chief,
w ho has proved himself to bo possessed
of the quality, so rare in men of elevated rank,
of listening patiently to tho sarcasms and malici
ous insinuations of his foes. In all the operations
of the campaigu under his supervision, tho most
admirable consistency lias been cviiced, and
plans have been carried toward their IjV.imate
conclusion unflinchingly, unfalteringly. All the
early clemency of tho Government and its for
bearance were thrown uway ; every overture
which it went out of its way for tho purpose of
promoting conciliation and healing tho breach
between tho two sections, wero contemptuously
rejected ; tho conquest of tho North and the
laying in ashes of its principal cities was threat
ened, und tho most revolting uttrocities perpetra
ted, not merely on prisoners, but on even the
wounded on the field of battle. It became soon
apparent that a vigorous prosecution of hostilities
was tho only feasable method of bringing the
war to a clo-e. Then, when under any but a
most skilful government, it would have been too
lato to remedy tho disasters which had already
befallen tho patriot cause, it was found that our
armies and public bodies, tho halls of legislation,
the very circles of tho most select society iu the
land, were still full of enemies to the Union, who
by the aid of spies and mercenaries, contrived
to make each project miscarry. An energetic
series of measures was instituted, which effectu
ally eradicated tho treasonable element from all
branches of tho service, has convinced tho world
that at length tho administration was iu earnest.
To a nervous and quick moving raco like our
own, tho progress of the campaign seemed tedi
ous and protracted, but now, looking back upon
tho few mouths that have elapsed siuco its com
mencement, wo can only wonder that results so
wonderful have been accomplished in so brief a
space. Wo will venture the assertion that Na
poleon, notwithstanding tho enormous bodies of
men whom his transcendent military genius en
abled him to bring into the field at one time,
never fought so hard a campaign, or which could
have more severely taxed ull tho resources of
which ho was master. An tinny of moro than
half a million souls has been recruited, disciplined
and moved into tho field within less than a year;
and although an empty treasury was the princi
pal legacy left to the country by tho preceding
government, means wero at once raised for the
furnishing of military anna and supplies, and
for the creation of a commissariat more exten
sive than tho modern world has yet witnessed.
Even tho most rabid and rampant of tho seces
sion journals at length acknowledge the superior
ity of our armies and of tho general plan of the
war, and have fallen of late, into a sort of fashion
of praising tho management of the forces of the
Union and decrying their own which latter
have been characterized bv amastc;-y inactivity
that has oeen highly favornblo to tho former.
Ilcrahl C' Mirror.
English Opiaiou of Mason nntl Slidcll.
Tho following is an nrticlo from tho London
Times, of Jan. 11 :
A turn of tho wheel which the American Cabi
net has managed to mako aa sudden as possible,
brings us a new question. Tho four Anieri.au
gentlemen who have got us into our lato difficulty
and cost us probably a million apiece, w ill soon
be in one ot our ports.
. How, then are we to receive thefco illustrious
visitors. Of course they will be stared nt, nnd
followed and photographed, and made tho subject
of paragraphs. There is no help for that. Mr"
Thomas Sayers cannot walk the street with a
friend, or ask tho Mayor for permission to put
up a booth in a market place, but tho crowd im
mediately conclude the rough, hard-vizaged, ill
favored pair to bo tlio Confederate Commi-isioii-ers,
Messrs. Mason and Slidcll, with their two
secretaries, l hough not so handsome and graceful
as their countryman Blondm, would certainly
fill tho Crystal Palace, if they proposed to ad
drcss the visitors there on tho merits f their
cause. But for the benefit of tho discriminating,
for tho guidance- of the minority that prefers at
least a respectable idol, and that does not wish
to throw away its confidence and opplaiisc, we
may us well observe that .Messrs. Mason and
Slidcll are about the nio-.t worthless booty it
would bo possible to extract from tho jaws of tho
American Lion. They have Ions been known
as tho blind and habitual haters and revilers of
this country. They have done more than any
other men to get up the insane prejudice against
England which disgraces the morality and disor
ders tho policy of tho Union. The hatred of this
country has been their stock in trade. Ou this
they have earned their political livelihood and
won their position, just as there are others w ho
pander to the lowest passions of humanity. A
dilliccnt use of this bad capital has made them
what they are, and raised them to the rank of
Commissioners. It is through their lite-long Ha
tred and abuse of England that they come here
in their present conspicuous capacity. Tho na
tion under .whose flag thoy sought a safo passage
across the Atlantic the nation that has now res.
cued them with all her might from the certainty
of a dunjeon and the chances of retaliatory mur
dcr, is that against w hi. h they havo always done
their best to exasperate their countrymen. Had
they perished in the cell or on the scaflold amid
tho triumphant yells of the multitude, memory
would have suggested that their own bitter ti
rades had raised the storm, and that their death
was only the natural and logical conclusion of
their own calumnies and sophistries.
i It is better to know what you don't want than
to kr.ov what you do want.
Comparative Ukiox and Rebel Victories.
Tho United States, while getting iu readiness to
crush out rebellion, have achieved the following
victories in 1S01, giving the Confederates tho
battles of Wilson Creek, Belmont and Sumter :
June 2d, Phillippa ; Juno 17th, Boonvillo ;
July 5th, Brier Forks (Sigel's victory ); July
13th, Carrick'a Ford ; August 28th, JIatteras
Forts ; September 10th, rout of Floyd, Gauley's
Bridge ; October 5th, second defeat of rebels at
llatteras ; October 8th, Santa Rosa Island ; Oct.
11th repulso ut Southwest Pass; Oct. 25th,
charge of Fremont's guard ; Oct. 27th, Romney
(Kelley wounded) ; Nov. 7th, Port Royal ; Dec.
13th, Camp Alleghany, Va. ; Dec. 18th, 1,300
rebels captured by Popo in Missouri ; Deo. lSUi,
Dranesville.
In 1802 tho Union troops gained tho annexed
victories :
Second rebel repuNo at Santa Rosa ; Humph
rey Marshall's rout ; capture of rebel batteries
in South Carolina; Mill Spring (Zollicofl'er killed);
Fort Henry ; Roauoko Island ; Fort Donelson.
The rebel victories in 1801 were as follows
April 12th, Sumter ; June 10th, Big Bethel ;
July 21st, Bull Run ; September 20th, Lexing
ton ; October 25th, massacre of Ball's Blull";
Nov. 7th, Belmont (doubtful) ; Wilson's Creek
(doubtful).
In 1802, none.
So we see the Union victories arc twonty -three,
tho rebel seven, being in tho ratio of three to one.
The rebels have not achieved a single success
since tho year set in. It appears, too, that in
nearly oil tho above battles iu which wo gained
victories, the enemy acted upon the defensive and
from behind fortifications. While tho Confedo
rales are pretty much whipped out everywhere,
it is quite evident that the Union troops have
hardly begun to fight, and have only commenced
getting ready. Sac. Union.
From Oro Fino and Salmon.

following extracts from letters ; tho first from
W. A. Atleo at Oro Fino, and tho second from
John Craighton of Salmon, to Mr. Atleo, and
formarded to this place. Times.'

Messrs Thacv & Co., Portland. Enclosed,
aro two let'crs from Salmon.
Tho diggings in Salmon are very narrow and
shallow. Tho miners there are of tho opinion
that it will bo gutted out the first season and
sluiced up tho next.
There is much suffering there now from scarc
ity of food und certain kinds of clothing, and
many will have to leave unless soon supplied
with provisions from this place or Walla Walla.
There is no flour at Lew is ton.
Our merchants have on hands about 33, 000
lbs. flour and 15,000 lbs. bacon for sale. Flour
is selling at $25 per bbl. ; bacon 45 to 50 cts. ;
tobacco $1 ; nails 33 J etc.
Fry, our messenger, had to come in on foot
from Poujades ranch, 10 miles out.
Tho amount of travel over it going to and
from Salmon, will probably make it passible
for horses by next trip,
Tobiicco is worth in Salmon, from $0 to it! 10
per lb. ; nails $0 ; wool soeks5 pcrpair; long
handled shovels $30; flour at present, $1,50
per lb., etc. etc.
It snows hero every day more or less. Col.
Crockett of Pierce city, tells mo that ho has
measured it every day this winter, and makes
the amount fallen sinco tho middle of November
last upwards of sixteen feet. It is piled up in
front of tho buildings hero, from 10 to 20 feet
deep, having been shoveled oil tho roofs.

you drop mo a lino now and then, and a paper
if von have any thine of the kind " lying around

troubled of lato about a mythical person, known
as tho " Dutchm in." who is supposed to he
some twenty miles from hero, and is not work
inir " the mines that we all have been lookint
for," but what direction he is in, no one knows,
for they have been out every way, from ten to
fiftv mile", but " no Dutchman."

near the dividing ridgo between Clearwater and
Salmon, on this side.
We havo had fino hunting hero this winter ;

THE MONITOR.
Tho Ericssion iron battery is completed and
is called tho Monitor. Sho was struck by 33
heavy balls and shells from tho Merimao without
injury. The following description of this formi
dable vessel is from tho Now York World :
Tho hull is sharp at both ends, the bow pro
jecting and coming to a point' at an 1 nnglo of
eighty degrees, to tho sides inclining at an angle
of fitly -one degrees to the vertical line, fl it bot
tomed, six and a half feet in depth, built light, of
3 8 inch iron, olio htindre I and twenty-four feet
long, and thirty-four feet wide at the top. An
other or upper hull rests on this, with perpendic
ular sides und sharp ends," live feet high, forty-ono
feet four inches wide, olio hundred and seventy
four feet long, extending over the sides ot tho
lower hull tluvo feet seven inches, and over each,
end twenty-live feet, thus serving as a projection,
to tho propeller, rudder and anchor. Tho sides
of tho upper hull are composed of un inner guard
of iron, a wall of w hite oak, thirty inches thick,
covered with iron armor six iuches thick. When
in fighting order tho lower hull is totally im-' '
mersed, und tho upper one is sunk threo feet six
inches, leaving only eighteen inches obovo water.
Tho battery will draw tell feet of water. Tho
interior is open to tho bottom, as iu a sloop.
The deck comes flush with tho top of tho upper
hull, and is bomb proof. There will bo no rail
ing or bulwark of any kind above tho deck. Tho
inclination of tho lower hull is such that a ball,
to strike in any part must pass through at least
twenty-five feet ot water, and then strike an in
clined iron surface ut an unglo of about ten de
grees. It is therefore absolutely protected, yet
so light as to give great buoyancy.
Only three things are exposed above deck. In
case it is boarded no harm is done. The only
entranco is at the top of the turret, which cannot
bo easily scaled, mid even then but one man at a
time can descend. Two hundred men uro now
constantly employed on the vessel. Tho engines
havo been placed iu it. Two Columbiads will
bo mounted on tho turret, nnd a test of the im
pregnability of the battery will bo made iu front
of some largo rebel battery. If its offensive and
defensive capabilities are satisfactory, it will bo
turned over to tho government.

The rebol organs here aro constantly trying to
mako their deluded readers believe that iu all
such Eastern States as Ohio, where Republicans
havo magnanimously voted Union Democrats in
to power, tho " Democracy," such us the Corvul
lis Union represents, is gaining ground rapidly.
wonderfully ! Forney's J'restt, which represents;
tho Democracy East, says that tho Democrats
n tho Ohio Legislature ought to, and no doubt
will, re-elect Ben. Wado U. S. Senator a man
who is called by tho Corvallis Union " Old Abo
lition Wade. Y hy uou t thoso dirty secession
sheets here give their readers another evidence
of tho growing strength of tho Democracy Last
in the tact that Stuiitou, a " Democrat has been
placed in the Cabinet i Tho fact is t icse eastern
Democrats w ho are elected to places are general
ly in nnvauco of many of tho Republicans on tho
war question. While- tho Republicans would
only fovor a refusal to carry the dirty organs of
treason in our mails, these " Democrats, many

The following bit of history is from tho Ex-
press :
" Die people ol tho houtn regard tho Kepubli-
cans ns their mortal Iocs, because ol their bitter
hostility to their institutions. Hence they are
united in opposition to tho present Administra
tion. It was not tho Government against which
they rebelled, but against tho Republican paity.
lhe Uoverumeut has nolotlended them.
Now, every bddy that reads tho newspapers of
tho times knows that this war had begun under
a Democratic Administration, and that beore tho
result of the Presidential election was reached,
there had been commenced a conspiracy against
tho Government on tho part of tho South, und
while a Democratic President was yet in tho
chair there were 10,000 men under arms in tho
South. Ifthowarwas against tlu Republican
party only, why did tho South make war upon
tho Douglas Democratic party by refusing to
hear its supporters, by mobbing its Southern
candidate for tho Vice Presidency, and by refus
ing to give its vole for Stephen A. Douglas ?
If Dixie Democracy is not sectional, w hy did it
make itself a unit on a Southern candidate for tho
Presidency, now a rebel in arms against tho
Federal Union T Tho man who believes that
Democracy, such as tho Espress believes in is
national or constitutional, is little better than a
muggins." Marytville Appeal.
