Ed. Statesman : I have Just arrived here direct from Pluccrville, Boise diggings, by way of Florence and Oru Fino, and having a few moments to spnro, I shall occupy them in giv ing yonr readers and my friends In Marlon and Polk counties, a few items In regard to these mining districts as far at I am correctly posted, I spent tho winter in Placervillo City ; and, being io mercantile business there, I know something of ils conditions and prospects. The number of soul, when I loft, on tho ICtli inst., wag variously reckoned at from ten to fifleen thousand, In tho town and iurrnonding dig gings. The town is literally crowded chuok rull of people the great mass of which ap pear at a loss to know what they canio there for. ' Many were still arriving from all dirco tiona, and not a few leaving for other mining localities, attracted by the variou! rumor, of "big itrike." here aud thero, that are almost daily set afloat. You are, not to believe all tbe big stories you hear, even about the Boise gold miues. Some greeuhorni not "green back!" on visiling souio claim that is "pay ing big," become oluted beyond all reasonable bounds, pulling it down, at once, that all tho liggings are equally rich j while others, again, are as easily depressed on their disappointment in not linding oil claims abounding In richnesa to meet their unreasonable expectations. Tho truth is, tho whole country is a vast public treasury of pure gold, deposited by the hands of nature for the free ne and benefit of an en- torprlsing and Industrious community, gomo short time ago. there wero reports of several discoveries of rich diggings, away to the south and east of Placervillo, besides tnmo very rich silver lodes having been discovered on tho Mnlheur river, a tributary of tho Snake. Re ports, also, favorable to Ihe Big Ilule, Bitter root nnd Warren diggings, are of daily ooonr- rence. 1 hose reports are drawing awi.y many of the unsuccessful immigrant! from Boise. A. n business depot, it is clear that Plnccrrille is destined to become, ere long, a town nf no littlo importance. Tho streets are well laid out, and tho housees there, of late creotion in particular, are of substantial structure; bo sidci, it has the ndvantngo of a rich agricul tural country surrounding it, which, in all prob ability will soon be settled by nn industrious farming population that will find a ready mar ket, with cash payments, almost at their own doors, for every article Ihey can mise. The distance between it and Bannock City is about fourteen miles. The fort and garrison will be about forty miles from this town in the valle of the Buise river, and In the funning part of cue district. i ins was a wise arrangement and will confer a great beuefit on tho ooiuiniiuily geueiully. it will afford confidence and per manence to the citizens and augment our popu lation. We came through tho Warren dig gings aud found tho road puiiaHe nil along. and much of them eery good, with good grass and water at convenient distances for camping all tho way. There are some good diggings aiiout Warren, hut the great drawback ia tho flatness of the landscape, which makes it dif- ncuii io get lumcieut lull for the waters to run sluices. From hero to Florence, with out regard to the estimated number of mile., packers tuko trom lour to five days. We rodu it in three days nt our leisure. Florence Is not the busy, buttling, lively tented field" it was twelve months ago, aud yet it is busy, brisk and lively still-still a brisk, lively min ing town, tho business oenlre of a Inrge min ing population, the number of which Is kept up by the advantages of the wnter fruin the 'big ditch," not tho new one which js in full operation. This dilch is near eight miles long, and supplies mine hundreds of miners with water who could out otherwise work their cluims. But Florence, liko most other mining, towua iu this region, has suffered by tho Boise excitement, by which its population and busi nese have been greatly reduced. On my wny lo Lewiston expecting lo meet our puck train, I was shown the very spot on which Iho fatal robbery was committed nn the llerrys by tbe trio "road agents," F.nglish, Scott and Peebles, last fall. Having been well acquainted with English and Scott, I could not express a sigh for their onlimely but predicted fate but some thing had to be done to check ti e progreM of crime, for robbery and murder bad beoome ao ninch a matter of evory day occurrence, thro' out this region, that itaeemed aa if every citi zen held hia life and property at the will of a bond of masked and unmasked out-throat des peradoes. The brothers Berry are good citi zen! hard working and industrious. They keep a store in Florence. They were robbed of some thirteen bnndrcd fiillars a sum when earned by honest iudustry, ia, to say the least, a heavy stroke. Oro Fino i rather gloomy In Ils business prospects. There are lint fear people In that hfjnlily. My stay there wa. brief, having only lo settle up some strsy bushiest I had left there laat year. There are three atorea aud any number of saloons and whisky shops. The few miners that are scattered op and down Ihe creeks and gulches, are said to be doing well, bnt many of them are leaving for the Boise mines. Hired bands get from four to six dol lars a day, aa they work, night or day. and board themselves or are boarded by their em ployer. The chief part of the houses In the town of Oro Fino are tenaatless ; yet I noticed several Women and children among the few inhabitant.. They had some trouble with the Indians a abort lime ago, owing, it seems, to some person either in Oro Fino or Pieroe City. naving aeiu mem nquor. several nf thero bad got "on a bust" and mule soma demonstration of hostility against a family named Atkinson, who keep a very respectable house for travelers about fourteen miles front Oro Finn by Lewis ton. A company of cavalry was tent thero from the Lapwai, aud ao Investigation had aa lo who wa. guilly of silling the liquor. All appears quiet now, however, and all danger of au mutroak quelled. It Ii tho jcuttnl or inlwo that the present excitement relative to the Hoiso mines, will soon leave the Ncz Pcroo. diggings without many Inhabitants.,' In Oro Fino I met Dr. Noble, late of Oregon City, the chief victim of the "road agent!1' and robben last fall, It was within three- miles or so of till, town be was robbed as he was on his way thero to settle up some business previous to bis re turn to Oregon Cily for good. : Doring tho summer of 1802 I lived noxt neighbor to him In Florence, and knew he wa! impeded of having a largo amount of monoy, and there la no doubt bot he was spotted and followed by tho Florcno robbers, who waylaid him tho first opportunity, as, provioui to that, ha had always traveled in company, but was alone w hen the robben attacked him. They robbed him of between six and seven thousand dollars. This lias evidently boon felt by him as a heavy itroko of fortune, and has given an air of sad ness and dejectcdness to his manner ond ap pearance ; otherwise ho looks well. He Is tbe only physician hero and has dune woll. ' But a physician nf Dr. Noble's high talents, refine ineot of maimers and Puritanical morality ought never to attempt settling in such a place a. theNel Peroe. gold mine.. .' ' '.Vbiit may be properly .tyled tho gold region of Boise, comprehends an area of thirty miles square j but thero have been many new dis ooverios, extending the area much farther. The Boise and Paynte river discharge into the Snake river on tho one the side, and the Mnl henr and Owyhoo rivers on tho other, and on nil these ri vera now and rich disooverlei of both gold and silver have been lately made. There is now n good ox toom road from Walla Wnlla Into Plaocrville, and provisions are not so dear. Flour, when I left, $23 per 100 lbs. ; bacon, 40o. per pound ; beef, 20o. to 23o. It will require an immense stock of provision, to supply the winter'! demand there. As soon ai we shall get our business and pack train in readiness, which will he only a few days, we will bo off for lioiso by the new trail, and soon nfter I arrive I shall post yon with more par ticulars. Yonrs, ico. PACKER. , J0TT1NG8 Or A FARMER. F.d. Statesman : As yon kindly offer some sjiaci) in your widely circulated paper to tbe interests of the farming department, I will for ni.h you occasionally a few "Jottings" on sev eral nialten connected with farming in Ore gon. All know that this haa been a remark ablo season bore so far. Thn rains never held np till June, except at intervals nf short dura tion. The farmers, however, put In average size crops, and the early crops are yielding '. well. There is a general failure of the hay , crop the yield being not mora than a half crop. The heat, for a month,' has been to in lentt hero that grain has ripened suddenly, nnd the farmer! have their hands full of work Harvest hand, have tried hard to make a big itrike for extra wagei ; but the common rate is one dollar and fifty cents per day. Garden. ' will be very light on account of the heat. On whut trees that nro yotalivo and healthy, thero is a full orop nf applet this year, but they will be small. There will bo nn salu for green fruit. I would Impress it upon tho owners of orchards, the policy of drying their fruit and making "sanoe," oidcr oil, ice, in as not to let their fruit run to waste. The prioe of grain is very low now. All hands, of course, will hold on with a grip lo their grain as Hoiso will mako litem all rich. There is not a prospect that grain will command high rates here for some to come. California, Chili and Salt Lake farm-., ers will supply tho miner, with flour, beans, bacon, iVo., at reasonable rates. For eight yers past thero hus been an annual gold excite- incut and attempts made to run up produce to ' iho memorable rates of 1 8.-3, but each has been a failure. ' True Yankee polioy is to pro duce to each acre a large amount, ami then sell it to the best advautugo, and quick at that! Our people disgrace our fertilu soil by not half cultivating it, and then holding on to their grain. Ate, fur extra price, j pay big Interest nn money. lot Iho rats and squirrels cxtrnct their share, and, finally, flour it and pay big rate. bir frieghl, aud sell, at laat, pretty low. A bright twilight appeared to our farmers when the People'! Transportation Lino commenced operations hero this yenri hut. alas. for us, the company were liought up or bought off by tho groan' monopoly the O. 8. N. C and freight, have again gone up two hundred per cent. ! It is folly for the limners to hold bnuk their grain with a view to real izing large profits on account of the gold new. Those, nod all other mines on the coast, are. and hiivo been, a curse to Oregon. Wo axe neither a mining nor yet a farming omnraunity, and one spoils Ihe oilier. Tho article of driej fruit should form an Important Item in onr ex ports. Soon a largo number nf emigrant, will arrivo amongst ns bot tho trouble ia they come here under the gold excitement, whioh ao much affecte our own people, and they will bring no money, a. did those who ar rived here laat year, and many of them intend lo return to the Slites. aa soon aa the Emperor Jeff, shall have tettM the bonndnrirt of hit negro dominions. We need a somewhat differ out population to that ahiub wa now have hero. God has made a good country and oliroata on this great Weatern slope nf onr onntinent, bnt it! natural resources have been hut little devel oped by our people. We must have a laboring and permanent population here brfort prosMr. ity teill he ouri ! There was very many to. bacco plant! put out in Ibis valley last spring, aud, uules tbe severe drouth and beat should injure the onming crops, we shall have more than enough nf Iho "weed" for home onnsiimp lion. Although hundreds of thousands of fruit trees were killed hy the dvsperute winter hero near two year! ago, yet. if those remaining alive, he well taken care nf. there an enough on hand for all purpose!. Of lha wool crop on hand, prices, dec., sbaH not write, aa my friend Minto furnishes ua some good article on that subject. About flax, hotter, bacon.

We aro told the War Department two or " three weeks ago Issued an order for the enroll, nient of freo negroes .in Kentucky as citizen within the purview of the Conscription Aot. The illegality, offensivenesi and temerity of this order, ns we learn, immediately led to an n earnest remonstrance on tho part of our State authorities, seconded warmly bv Gen.

In answer to this re-", n f.i. ... . . . loiMinoauce mo i resworn, we unuentano, nj-..! nified that the enrollment of the free negrae in Kentucky was not intended ns necessarily ,, proliminary to the drafting and arming of thoiu bnt might be preliminary to their employment as simple laborers. In othor words, th Pre! H, dent declared that he had not yot made np hi mind to do more than euroll the negroei. For reasona obvloui to all Kentuckiant at least, thll declaration was not deemed satlsfactory.and tho ! remonstrance has been renewed by our State" ' authorities In more explicit and more orgeat ., terms. Wo havo the utmost confidence that the reninnstrunco thus renewed will prevail. It must prevail. !' 'I iho order were clearly legal it would be most rash and improper to attempt to enforce it ; bnt it Is clearly illegal, ' Freo negroei aro not oitizens or the United States, and the Pres. ident can Und iu Kentucky no respectable a.' ; thority that will affirm the contrary. On this . point Governor Kobliwon, tho Chief Magistrate of the State, and Judge Ballard, tho ohief judl oiul officer of the nation in the State are eom-i i pletcly aa one. Aud with them herein all olej.,. es of the Commonwealth thoroughly agree. In. ' thn universal estimation of Keutuckiana the " order I. wholly illegal, as well as offensive In "' the extreme. We cannot presume that tho -President will adhere to the order without pro- ( sinning that he is devoid nf the first instincts of r prudence, no less than of justice. The Presi-' dent, whatever his infirmity of judgment or of will, is not thus weak aud headlong. Wo d ': not harbor a doubt that be will speedily rescinds the order. So confident, indeed, are wo in this , respect, that but for tho notioe of the order ht our cdtemporarlei In this Stato, wo should per- 'I haps have felt it our duty, under all the civ cumstauces, to leave the matter lo the hands of -j the Stnto authorities without comment, for the present, nt any rntc.
