Feari have been eipressed that the fall of
now is not tulCoient for furnishing water the
latter part of the aeaaon, but with the long linos
and number of ditches that Kill convey water
from every oreek and ravine tliroui;li mining
ground next apring and aurniner, and tho depth
of luow (varying at tho present time from five
, to twelve feet on tbo surrounding bill and
, mountain tups, from whence the streams must
: derivs their main supply), it I the belief of
, your correspondent that but little inconveni
ence in working olaiins advantageounly on ac
count of scarcity of water will be experienced
before late in the fall.

We have been kept in a state of profound
igaornnce as to the sayings and doings of the
Territnrinl Legislature of Idalio at Lewiston,
during the entire session which closed by liui-
Itittiim iif 1n.tr nn ihi fitli lint. Hut nrm low
passed by that augtist(?) boily has as yet been
made nublio bv anneurinir in the. Golden

delegation who may accidentally bave the good
fortune to find Jiis way bavk without getting
lost, and being picked op by somebody and ad
vertised as an eslray. Funny state of things,
isn't it, where every man is supposed to know
laws ho never saw saw nr heard of, and has to
shoulder the responsibility of not fully under
standing and acting in accordance therewith?
The memUrs of Cungreas expelled IVointlie
House of liepresuutnlives a few years ago for
corruption, would shine as bright tmrtionhtr
tars lu the galaxy of legislative intellect lately
, assembled at Lewiatnii. where, if rumor hath
it truly, private franchises, and tho quantum
of interests of honorable (?) member in tbo
profits of toll-bridges, ranches, ferries, bridges,
dco., have been the chief subjects of dircusriun
aud constitute the hulk of legislative) ennut
ineiits. The exploits nl the famed forty thieve
"palo their ineffectual fires" before the rapa
cious demands of Ihesu modem Unions for in
terests iu every franihise granted by them.
There is one cnnsolution iu knowing that at
least there is nothing more to he feared at pres
ent from eillur legislative knavery or igno
rance, though there is little doubt the members
: of the late Territorial Legialature have done
their best in the former line, and that nature
left but little undone iu the line ol perfection
as regards the latter w ith a respectable quorum
of that body.
Schools are flourishing in Bannock, and

As an off set to these, there are two large the
atrical buildiugs, which will he in full blast lu

improving in nit, and many large and fine ed

I'SIOM LEAGl'KS G'OLHEX CIIU'LKS.
The copperhead mind of this State is terri
bly alarmed about tho iiitroductioti of tho
Loyal Leagues. That is one of the heat evi
dences of the pa'riotic charnolor of the iustitu
tiun, for, it may, as a general rule, be set down
as certain that whatever the coppers bowl
against, is right j not because they howl, but
because they are morally cert mi to take the
bad side of any question affeotiug the Union.
We know but little of the practicul workings of
the Loyal Leagues, but we do know that none
of theiu ever proposed a disgraceful surrender
of the cause of Union j none of them ever pro.
posed measures to otulmrraas tho Government
iu it patriotic endeavors to crush the rehullion;
none of them over professed or practiced sym
puthy with the rebel cause ; none of them ever
rejoiced at the defeat of the national arms or at
the discomfiture of the c titutud authorities.
Wo do not believe one of them ever proposed
to do anything, publicly or privately, which a
loyal man might not honorably atd gladly do,
publicly or privately, If one of them over yet
did or offered to do anything except to promoto
the best interests of the Union cause, wet have
never learned it. If any League ever hound
ita members to anything to which an honest
Union man of any political antecedents, might
not freely subscribe, we have yet to learn the
fact.
Now how stands the matter with theOoldeu
Circle and ita brother "Democratic" Clubs ?
Did one of them ever propose to uphold the
constl'uted authorities in this great crisis of the
nation? Did ono of them ever i ffer syinpulliy
and countenance to the brave men who lire
periling life mid fortune to uphold Ihe national
flag? Did nne ol them ever propose n mena
uio calculated to diimuge the rebel cause? Did
one of them ever attempt to remove any ob
stacle In the way of national triumph? Did
one of them ever organize except upon terms
of hostility to tbe Federal authorities? Did
one of the iu ever ceaso to vmbitiruas, by all
mentis in hi power, nil etfort fur an honorable
solution of the rebellion? Did one of them
ever bear of rebel success or Federal discom
fiture, without a chuckle of delight? There is
not a liriug man who ciui truthfully answer
either of theso queries ill the aflirmalive.
There is not a "democratic" club in existence
now but has for its buse a deadly lumtihty to
the Uniou cause, as supported by the ollicial
representatives of the people unit by the mass
es of the people tlicinnelvus. There Is not ouo
of them that date or that wills to unqualifiedly
denounce the rebellion. If they have llie cour
age to dn it, they are apparently unwilling.
It is often denied that there are any of tbe
Goldeu Circles in this country, but there is ev
ident that they have existed since ihe break
ing out of tbo rebellion. The captious and
ma!iui)iit hostility of tho copperheads to the
war and to the Administration, has not nbaled
in any degree since the beginning. If they
had treason enough in their hearts at my time
to organize such oahnl. thero Is nothing In ex-
isteuoe lo show that such treason is not fester
ing as ntnkly there now a ever or that their
mad folly would not a soon lend them into
traitors' niidoi-ht dens inw as three year ago.
Wa believe tirmly that there are organizations
of tbo (Jolduu Circle in the State of Oregon,
and that there has beeu, if not uow, one of
them in Marion county. There is the most
positive proof that there are secret copperhead
club at various loculiiie iu the Siutu, into
which nobody gains admittance without secret
signs and words. What purposo they havo in
view, I best Judged of by their open and st If
confessed sympathy with the Southern Confed
eracy. They bave, beside these, very utiuier
cut club iulo which anybody may enter. All
of these organisation are pledged lo an sure'
Irnling hostility to the present Administration
Now, considering these facts, what is the
plainest duty of lojsl men? Orgariiulion be.
get strength. While the copperheads, inspir
ed by Ibo spirit which animate tho relwls, aro
orgauitiiif for the purpose of overthrowing
tbo Union, shall L'uiou men lie supinely on
their back aud Halter themselves lln l all is
well? Not if thef are true to tha Union or
true to themselves. Their country' peril call
upon them to leave undone nothing lu defeat
tho Infamou oohemro of their ooaiilry't ene
nne. Tbe first aud oouimoneet impulse of
patriotism ought to move them to org loise
orgauin in all loyal way practicable, for lha
defense of tho Union. There ought lo bo a
lo) 1 1 league or Unioo club in over precinct in
the Bute. Will hoi tbo Unlou men ten to it

huvintr had the fortune whether good or ill I
am nnalilo to decide to I e a good deal mixed
up in the hubliub. I have hail enough tn tlo

yon, since flii war began, have thought " full
many a timii and oft " of year friend in Vir

anil what part or side they would take in tun
awful struggle. Let me set your dear heart at

(jiiyandnite is the only town nn the Ohio
river that has ever presumed to flaunt tho rebel
flng; that was raised mi Saturday. and as fath
er was ono of three who dared to vote for Lin

It was time for him to leave, Monday morn
ing a friend came in inst hb Pa was about to
crjias the river, and tolk him ho was ft marked
man, and hud no time tn spare, lie came at
once and engaged a house on this side. Mint
of our furniture came over that day, but moth
er and I stayed (our nights longer, our true
friends begging u not to slay alone, and our
old neighbors and intimates looking daggers at
us when we chanced to meet. A loaded re.
volver lny at all times within convenient reach
and tlinso who knew me were well aware that
I cwtld and would nse it, if I had occasion, and
I have no doubt that knowledge added greatly
to our safety. Now was not til t a pretty state
ol nllairs 7
We were not tho only ones in trouble,
though we, ns genuine Yankee, and known tn
possess strong anti-slaver-' principles, were
special objects of hatred. We went so fortu
nate ns lo save all our movable property of any
great value, but a large aiunuut of money is
mill duo ftoin many of the rebels mid probably
will remain so till the end of lime. Now for
our present situation, ns there wus no time for
looking around, wo popped right into the first
door that opened to receive us, and that hap
pened to bo right opposilo our old home, and
very small and inconvenient. Kcfugco run
ning for their lives fled to us. and of course
they wero not turned away. Our house was
so small we bad no room for a girl and the bur
den of the work fell upon my shoulders. Then
every few days nil nllack would be threatened
ii nil our 1 ! 11:111- (juiird would flock in to protect
llie ho der. All there timet he fed and I would
cook us long as I could stand. At length, in
Ihe Kail of Irjtil, a new regiment was being
organized, untl they miulo their headquarters
at (iiiyar.dotte. Wo then felt easier. They
liail about "Oil enlisted men, and had been
them two or llneu weeks when they were nt
tack.d one ninht by UOO rebels. Ten were
killed uud (II) captured ; the rest escaped. All
this ouuurretl in sight anil hearing ol cs here,
and we tlid not know what moment they would
make us a cull, ns I here were boats on that
side of the river, in which a strong force could
easily cms . As that was our first experience
in ncluiil wnr, you may guess It was terrible
enough, but it was worse the next morning.
when they hegnu to lire across the river at us.
No one wus hurt on this sole, uud it is strange,
loo, for the men wero so thick here, but the
robs soon found it convenient to get away from
the Yankee bullets. .As the reliel citizens of
(itiyaudooto were known to hare unused the
raid, their bouses and stores wero lireil, and
left lo tho flames by one of our Colonels. All
tlie best houses weiu destroyed; also, all the
business part of the town. A good many Un
innielM were heavy losers, too, but the re I is re
ceived a sev te lesson which Iniight tin in to he

Mince then our trials have been numberless.
When the river gels low enough to ford, ns ll
sometimes tloes, e have to sleep with one eye

8KNAT0UI.il, TRIAL 1'OR TltKASO.V.
There was a great rush yesterday at the Sen
ate to bear the (rial of (iai rett I)avi, of Ken
tucky, upon the iiiilictinunt embodied in the
resolution of expulsion submitted by Senator
Wilson, It had been broiled uliotit that a stir
rine dclmto would be ou the luiiis, and that it
was possible that a bit uf a fight might be ex
pected. Ho tho galleries wero crowded to ex
cess, the assemblage even overflowing into tho
reporters' gallery, where tho aggravated cor
respondents wero robbed of their comfortable
quarters by the extraordinary pros from the
outside. There was a profound bush in the
crowded chamber when Wilson openeil a pile
of manuscript and commenced reading his
speech, He began by stripping Davis' resolu
tion of their verbiage, and then, piece by piece,
showing how ail their logical connection was
but a complete appeal to the worst paasion (if
the penplu to rise ag inst their war leaders and
to "revolt" against Iho present Administration
showing that the Kentucky Senator had used
the sumo Word "revolt" as applied tn the re
bellion as well as to tho proposed popular rev
olution which he urged. Wilsoo then went nn
to show that the Peaco Congress which Davis
pulled for would be a revo ulionary assemhliige,
which proposition Davis ascnted to as the de
bate wore ou, He then endeavored to show
that the appeal of the KeVituclty Senator was cal
culated to iticlln rebellion and revolution, ami
he mid tic J evidence from the resolution of
Davis to show that his fiilmiiiations were iude
cent, disrespectful and treasonable.
Shorn of some nf it renditions, Ihe speech
nf Wilson was a strong one, and a murmur of
appluuai! went around when its rea ling had
been concluded. Davis li'nriilly ' Ipped him
self for the fight, taking off his r.i tk slock and
unbuttoning Ins waistcoat. The burden of his
speech was, "You're another." lie spat upon
Massachusetts and New Kuglund generally,;
branded the people a disloyal uud disorgani
ze r ; dignified tho Hums rescue case in Hus
ton into a rebellion, and Insulted Wilson by re
peating anonymous and irresponsible attacks
upon his courage, honesty aud legitimate birjh,
insinuating that lie wus a gipsy, and repeating
all sorts of innuendoes and insinnulions which
he bud heard. Dav- madu one or two good
points on Wilson, however, one of which was
tho assertion that when Tootubs, Jeff. Davis
and other Southern firw-ea'crs bad uttered their
traitorous harangue) in the Senate, Wilson had
remained iu his sent "us dumb as a liab." All
of which is nearly true ; and now, bucked by
a pimei'lul uiiijui ily, w iison is noitier man men.
Davis went into a lengthy history of all the
commotions iu the North which could be tor
tured into a show or semblance of rebellion,
and argued therefrom I hat the North especially
New England, bad been guilty of repealed
treason, and llrlt the Senator from Massuchii
setts had never lifted his voice or arm against
it. lie read copiously from laws, letters, "peech
es uud even aiionyino'is letters, tho while sil
ting ou his desk to rest Irs legs. D.tvis is a
small, pule old man, and Ins body gave out
long before his voice did, and It wa a comical
figure which he made, sitting oil his desk, his
little legs hanging down in front, and his body
doubled over an immense volume, fro n which
he read nearly the wl.oluof the Fugitive Slave
Lntv.
When he had concluded bis three hours
speech. WiUm replied extemporaneously and
made a very good s'ecb. refuting completely
all of the personal slanders winch had beeu
cast upon lum by the indu-Orions scavenger of
scandal and gossip from Kentucky, lie ex
posed the inul cc unit narrow miiidcdueas which
had prompted the vitupeiative attack of Davis,
who hml never touched, in all his vuticatious,
llie real merits of list question, hut hail con
fined his ell'oils to a acreonul abuse of the nil -
thor of the resolution of expulsion, Wilson's
reply was not long, nor was it so nlile us a
stiouger man might nave made it, being a good
exemplification uf the old adage, that he who
pleads his own cause lias a root for a client.
Wilson itruggh' iiiiuifully and red-fscedly with
his subject, hut never seems to be master of it
somehow, but splutters mid fumes when be
should be calm, sarcastic and dignified iu bis
invective. The whole matter has been post
poned until Ihe amendments to the Enrollment
Hill aro disposed of. CA.lll.NL.

Steele, of (he Northern District of California,
has concluded a treaty with the Klamath and
Modoc tribes nf Indians, by which they agree
to be subject to tbo authorities of Fort Klam

ty is not a formal one, but rather partakes tif
(be nature of a "talk" and agreement nn the
purt nf the Indians lo behave themselves. It
is to bo hoped that the measure of Mr. Har

The X. Y. Aetrs lately filled several

what appears good authority, that lien Wood,

friends that he would be obliged to suspend
publication for want of pulromige, aud that the
latter, including several members nf Congress,
came to "the rescue by pledging Wood t?tKII)

uddeu turn of boasting which came across the

uf the statement, fur it is simply ridiculous lo

Tliey are audi us no patriot or tins Unionist, or oils
who reaped Ihs memories of those, who foiindinl III
government, or tha honor nf the American uurue or
character, could wish the South to accept.
This extract is from a paper which constant
ly charge that tho administration doo not
wish the war elmed j that it is ready at all
time tu oppose any pinpoaition upon which ft
peace might he concluded. Now. whisji a dis
tinct, practicable plan ia proposed by the Pres
ident, the copperheud Timet, boiling over with
venomous hntred of everything not rebel,
throw off the veil of hypocrisy, and reveal
how little it want peace on any term not en
tirely tu the advantage of tho rebel. It dis
tinctly advise) the traitors not tn accept the
President's terms ; to figln to the last rather
than do it i tn arm their shtvus for the hell-born
work of treason. Tbe Timet, and like cop
perhead sheets bare never ceased, night or
day, to censure and howl down tlie employ
ment of negroes in subduing the rebellion;
but now when term of peace are offered, to
which no loyal iniin can have an objection, the
Tines, alarmed lest the South shall accept
them, frantically appeals tn tho rebels to not
only fight on, themselves, but to Irec an.l arm
their negroes. This is the spirit of the copper
head press and the copperstitiko generally,
To arm a black man in the cause of the Union
is infamous! Hut to arm him' in the cause of
trearou is right and advisable !
As the copperheads are on (hi question of
negro soldiers, so they are on all others. Any
expedient which prom ses help to the govern
ment, meets their denunciation. Korerse
things end offer tbe same measure for the ad
vantage of the rebels, and they adopt it with
tho utmost avidity.

Declaration ok Puini:iplk8. We are In
formed that at tbo meeting of tho democratic
ohib at Eola on Saturday, -the Secretary of the
club declared hi opinion that " JefT Davis i
a more loyal man than Abraham Lincoln," and
the declaration was applauded by the club
members. That is democratic according to
the. modern sense of tlie word. It is also dem
ocratic, in tho same sense, to believe that Jeff's
cause is a right 'ous ouo and ought to prevail,
It is, th rehire, also detnuoratio to do Jeff any
little service within tho power of the democrat
ic patriots, by impeding the war and bringing
tho national Administration into contempt.
Wc are glad tn tee the democratic club ollicers
thus frank in the declaration of their real sen
timents. It shows what estimate to put upon
their passage, at the same meeting, of a set of
war resolution. They profess to bo loyul ;
think Jelf Davis mure loyal than Lincoln ; pass
war resolutions ; put those three things togeth
er taking all of them for grunted and we
find by their own profestiun, anil confession
that they tiro for war for Jell Davis and against
Lincoln.

The Soldier's Vote. The decision nf the
Supreme court of California ngainst the right
of Soldiers to vote, ha) called out a very gen
eral expression of disapprobation from the Un
ion press and a corresponding jubilation from
the copperheads. From a somewhat curory
reading of Iho opinion we obtained the im
pression that the court mudu up its judgment
on very leuder grounds, and thnt no special
violence would have been dona tn either tho
constitution or the spirit of the law. by an op
posilo decision. While we aro of the opinion
that great injustice, or at least hardship, ha)
been done the soldier) who are thus disfron
ohised, we cannot approve tbe practice among
newspapers, of attacking the adjudication of
our courts upon strictly p ditical grounds. 0 ir
courts are organized to administer the law, and
their conduct should be governed always by an
honest understanding nf the law aud never by
political passion or prejudice. If conventions
and party managers nre tn dictate tn courts
what shell he tbeirjudgments.it i plain enough
that tlie judicial branch of the government it
practically abolished. Perhaps neither nf the
judge silting on the California Supreme bench
ha a particle of sympathy with copperhead
isin or ugaiust tbe soldiers. It is most probable
they made np their opinion without reference
to the likei or dislike) of politician) of any
school. If so. they did their duty, and it is
the duty now of nil citizens tn acquiesce in the
decision, unless by fair lejrul argument it can be
shown tn be incorrect. That line of criticism
is perfectly legitimate and may he in
dulged iu without any danger to the purity of
our judicial system. We should be heartily
glad if Ibis decision should be shown unfound
ed In law, as we certainly deem it in justice.
If legal criticism shall prove the means of re
versing Iho decision, tho soldier) will ho re
placed in possession of a franchise of which
I hey never ought tube deprived by reason of
b.-iiig absent from homo in their country'
service.
