BcfiiRces nnd Deserters. . .,, ,
While riJitiK lhroii;h nor I horn Alaliamn and
nnrtinna nf Georgia, deaertera in xiuaili of from
25 tn 100, were met !m-t daily in tlio wood,
ti'ckinif eufpty from tho rvbal citTuliT.who were
met on every public and tide road, in nearoli nf
ftrnggleri and doaorteri, and ootiecripting all
citizens who oatno in their wnv. In nmnv
cntoa ho found regulralv organized band of
ui'Acrtcra, Higglers mid runaway nogriica, in
trcnohfd on tho hillt aivl ntooiitaine, nrHpared
to rc(it attctupti at their onpturo. They iu.
haliit cavi iu tome inainneei, and nhere no
bettor means of ilielter is at hand, like the na
tive) of the forest, they make burrow, in hill
side,. These fugitives resist and attnvk the con
scripting officers ; they live upon what they pan
rah the planters nf.
The spy found Union men in all parts of the
South, In the army and nt their homes. He
found the poor in favor of peace and Union ;
the planters generally desiring peaoe with dis
union. Misery among the Soldiers' famlllcs-The
tieneral Feeling for Kepudlutlon.
Wherever ho went lie round tho most interne
suffering prevailing aiming the soldier's fam
ilies. Thousands drag out a miserable exist
ence tpou the paltry pittance tlerivcd from the
government for the manufacture of army oloth
ing, at which lint one dollar per day in Confed
erate, money can he realized. Bread riots are
frequent, yet the uewspnpers do not mention
them, lest the intelligence roach their soldiery.
They are not oonlincd lo one or two plnces.but
are universal in everv city and town thrnairh-
out the South, where the poor starving fumilies
can bo gathered togothe-. Tho spy witnessed
many ol there riots, which ho describes as ex
tremely harrowing tn tbo feelings of the hu
mane. To such an extreme are, tile unfortu
nate families of soldiers driven that tho women
in towns and cities as a lust resort, take to a
life of prostitution. So general is this thnt the
name of a " war widow " has become synony
mous with a life of debauchery.
All but speculators nre represented as in fa
vor of repudiation. Although fearing tho con-fi-cation
of their cotton on tbe advance of tlie
i edorals, planters prelcr to trust tho ohuuc.es
than to diepo e of it for rebel ourrency. The
soldiers, when asked what their pay is per
month, reply, 55 "cents per month, at present
rates." The issue of notes is S45.OINl.nilO
per month. There is between 8120.000.000
and $ 1 10,000,000 of rebel counterfeit money in
circulation, bo was informed.
Peeling tho Head.
The supply of shoes and oilier artioles Is ex
hausted since the cIoju blockade, and those ar
ticles nre no longer issned. To clothe himself
the soldier must appeal to his wits. Instinct
imtnrnlly tells him tiiat Federal clothes are ac
ceptable articles, aud tlm iimnnt a Union sol
dier fulls, if an opportunity presents itself, tlie
rebel goes through tho operation culled " Heel
ing the dead," or in other words, "relieving tlie
dead Yank of his goods and crawling into
them." Hut they do not con lino the peelinir
process to our men. In all their battle) the
shoeless soldiers aro held in reserve, and as tho
rebels full their shoes aro gathered up and
placed upon the shoeless brigade. At tho battle
uf Chickuniaiiga thi) was tho cuse.and as many
of our wouudod fell into their bunds, they had
a large "peeling bee" upon tho battle-field on
the night of September 20th.
The complete system of martial law renders
it impossible lor a citizen or foreigner to pass
through a single street without showing his
pnpers. At every corner a bayonet is present
ed, and woe he tn tlie mau who has not the
documents. All authority of foreign consuls
is ignored. No redress is sriveti an alien sub
ject for outrages perpetrated. Ho is filccd
into ttie ranks aud kept tliere.
Curious Scene In Southern Theater.
He attended tlie theatre iu Atlanta ou the
lUth of December, wheu Mctaiuora was bro't
out. In the scene whero Metnninrn is assaulted
by the liritinh soldier.a rebel soldier exclaimed,
Why don't yon do like Ilrngg.fall hack on At
lanta f Atiutner exclaimed, "I'll bet they don't
belong to liragg'i army : they don't know how
tn retreat." Iu another scene, whero ono nf
the characters is in danger, a soldier created
much merriment by exclaiming, "don't hurt
him, he's ono of Kragg's cominiasarics. If yoti
kill linn we will be entirely without a ration
vi o are uau enough oil ns it is." ntill nnotli-
er cried, " I lauked main, br eollv. Well.
Ko'io is a grent fellow i hurrah lor Hoeie."
This was the signal fur loud cheers for old Ito
sie, by the soldiers present. The provost guard
niierierou anu eti.ieu tlie dls ora demonstration
by marching off seven or eight of the partici
pants to uie guurd house.
Ho reports the poor, eveu io Smith Carolina,
in favor of the Union. Iu North Carolina.
Unionists speak openly. The nlan'ers who flee
toward the center ol the "Confederacy" with
their slaves are coldly received, and called in
terlopers. Male slaves in Getinrin nnd Ala
bama sell for less than slave women, became
they are more apt to tun away. In muiiy cases
slaves are olfered free to planters f r thel'' keep,
mil are ntuseii. i tie deleat of Vallanillghaui
in unio. greatly discouraged tlio rebel leaders.
l lie raurouus are In a mint wretched coiidiliuu.
How the Bebels Respond to Habeas
tor pus.
While tny informant wassnlonrninir at Selma
a Mr. Evans, for refusing to receive Confeder
ate money for some article, was seized, chain
ed, and and seut a prisoner to Fort Morgan,
Deiow .Moiiiie. Alter lying in the prison lor
some time, he applied to au attorney
to takeout a writ of habeas corpus. The
luwyer commenced proceedings, wlieu a stop
was tuddenly put lo them by the arrest
nf the lawyer, the application nf balls and
chain to his legs, and his transportation to Fort
Morgan to keen Lvnns company. I Ins sum
mary way of responding to the writs is quite
common in Dixie.
Thieve and Hst-trahbem.
Throughout the entire rviuib, the people,
Jew and Gentile, bond and free, indulge In
petty thefts, aud robbery. A traveler cannot
put bis IhxiIs outside the door at night lo be
cleaned, without awaking to find them missing.
If a hat is left in the hall nr at tbe bat-rack,
it takes legs and leaves. So expert are some
of the chivalry, that if a man stretches himself
in a railway station for a nap, while waiting for
the train, they will relieve bun of his overcoat,
without awaking hiiu. On the departurenf ev
ery train, a battalion of soldiers, negroes, and
citizens line the platform, and as tho train
moves out they grab indiscriminately tbe hats
and satchels of all who may be standing on tlie
platform nf the ears, lo Jump ell is danger,
ons, and this, with tbe certainty of being da
layed a day or more, makes the victims submit
with the best trace noeaihle, and place their
hat down on their loss account.

UTTKU FBOX TUB DALLES,
From an Ocoaiionnl Correapondent.
Dam.Eb. Feb. 29. IBftfl.
Mr. Editor The Dalles , verr quiet, so
fur as rows ice, nre concerned, considering the
immense number of persons crowding the
streets continually. Tlie travel in the upper
eonnrry nas i nil ecu commenced lor the season
and, I greatly fear, many who aro on their wav
to the El Dorado will wish themselves bock to
tho land of "red apples" before they can- do
ani tning in the way or mining. Tho hcantiiiil
wcathor, however, I suppose has stimninted
them to propel, and all we oan dn is to Just let
meru "wont, i win say, ny way ol a remind
er to those who are . so very pert that I was
one of 'otn who was so very anxious to see tho
Bniso " elephant " Inst spring, nnd rushed off
in my wtia, mau caroer, arrived In Uoise on the
I3tu day r March, and was too early by from
four to six weeks. My opinion is that the mid.
die nf March is soon enough tn start from any
part of Oregon.
I noticed several arrivals in town last week,
of persons of prominence and importance-,
and, among others, Captaiu ,. Keoler, Pro
Tost Marshal of Oregon. Perhaps .."bio,"
and pleasure are the cause of his appearance
in our midst. As near as I can judge from
outsidu appearances, don't tliiuk the people
contemplate un " immediato draft," ns no nue
wns seen tn dodge the Captain j on the oon
trary.he delivered a lecture tn a crowded house
at the congregational church, during his stay ;
and after the lecture collection was taken up
for the Sanitary fund didn't learn the amount
received, hut would judge from the jiugle of the
"filthy lucre" that a "right smart ohanoo" wns
obtained. So you see the people of Dalles are
true to the Union, and may they ever be.
Tliero seems tu be a great diversity of opin
ion here amongst basiness men, as to what is
going to ho the best point to locate for the com
ing season, in order to secure a lucrative busi
ness, iu point of trade. Umatilla city. Wal
lula, Walla Walla, La Grande, Owyhee d:o..
&o., are the tonics of lhe tiny, while others are
for Canyon City. Hoise, &o. While there is
such a dill'erence of opinion, some are bound to
miss the figure.
My opinion is that every body nnd bis wife
would do well to stop at tho Dalles for a day or
two to consider tho matter fully, nud while on
consideration just, cull around to tho Owyhee
Saloon nnd try the irenuiueness of tho buyer-
ages dealt out by tho boys. But enough or
this, for I don't suppose tlie proprietors will
thanli me for advertising them in this stylo.
1 notice iu my strolls around town that many
of the merchants are very busy deslinr out
stocks of goods to up coutitry merchants and
packers, and the constaut moving of trains
proves to the community thnt nianv of the
goods will not be shipped up the river to
the would he towus where lizznrds, sage
brush nud sand are the principal productions.
However I will not be too heavy on our neigh
bor villages, as all must live or die (nud I must
say nourly all of these desert towns must die
sooner or later, and sumo nf 'em much "soon
er"). Hy the wny, I notice a paragraph in our
cosy little Dalles daily (all honor is due tu its
loyal editor) relutive to tlie advantages that
Dalles posaesses over Portland. "I full to sue
it." Ho does the subject injustice when he
calls the fanners of the valley in tho apple
trudo und nntliimr elso. Ha savs that thu mer
chants of Portland aro compelled to sell goods
higher man ualles merchants from the loot
that they sell to "Willamette apple growers
aud are thus denied thu advantage that treas
ure possesses over Htruck." Now, 1 would nak
the editor, what this town would be fit for. if it
was not for the gold-fields of the northern coun
try I Supposo you sever this upper country
from the lower where. I would oak, would you
oiiuiiii your supplies I " r,clio answers,
where" I believe in doing juatico lo allr If
all the poisons nnw emigrating lo the upper
couutry, und who are likely to, had to depend
upou the fanning resources of this vaat wilder
ness, what, i ask you, would be the conse
quenoo f Utter starvation would follow, inev
itably. It would bo a lit counterpart tn Jeff
Davis' conthiuvorncy would bo compelled to
gu iu sooner or later. For my part, I think
ooa was mado to back the other. I can see uo
object in pulling fnriiinst" each othur.
Hoping my well-nienuingwill bo appreciated

SKMOttiNDA OF A PACllEtt-FIBST BIT.
Dallkh. Feb. 25, 1804.
" Itleas tun, ain't this pleaaunt
Breaking iu C'ayusoe." ili-t. Hem nut.
Knowing that yon sympathize with the un
fortunate, and being rather buuittiio myself, I
wish to warn my fellow mortals of lhe impend
ing crisis that awaits them especially those
who, like myself, nre blessed with Arabian
coursers with which they intend to make their
"pile" in the parking business. I left here
with fourteen packs nud "gruat expectation,"
on lhe morning of the 25th. I had not pro
ceeded fnr before my anticipations wero fully
realized of the fun iu store for me. One pack
st first, gently slid over lhe larboard side of the
three-cent mure, nud lodged itself lirinly
upon her Iiomiui. This not being a part of
the programme, us she understood it, her hind
legs roeu in the. direction of the sun in rapid
succession, until the pack yielded tu "love's
constraint." and came tumbling to tho mother
earth. The mare, wishing to nvoid further
tioiiblc, started in tho direction or Mt. Hood,
while the swing and lush ropes played an af
fectionate unl-'u-iiiiie-tail tune around her bind
legs. Every dog has its day, and she had hers.
Shu was soon again in truoes, and all went
merry as n marriage bell, until the wind blew
a perfect hurricane, when it (the wind) raised
lour more pocks from the horses' backs, aud
sent Ihein Hying to the ground. They came
otf, and I know it must have beeu llto wind,
hi'onuse the horses were not evil disposed.
They were genltt that is. yoa could get with
in ouo bombed yards uf them by turning a
corner suddenly. As It would take somo time
tu ri gnlato their packs, and the other horses
being aware of this, they (the other horses)
thought Ihere would be no harm iu taking
utile siunitier, meantime, ana acteil according
ly. 1 his loosed three more pocks from their
moorings. The packs, however, fully cogui
taut that we were seeing the eleplmnt, clnng
to tbe horses with a motherly love, and held
them to the groood, at they struggled lor dear
life. A few minutes mora and ail would have
been well, but one of tlie saddle-nncs, tliiukniz
that its turn bad oome, darted ort down the
railway track, to meet the cars on their np trip
from Celilu, and placing tbe saddle where her
dinner should have beeu, she too bad a failing
ol raising tier legs every lew sccouds, and kick
ing at some imaginary object in tlie air. As
she tamed the point, a mile distant, with her
heels high in air, she seemed to say, "Fare we
brother fich Cralford." Fortune once more
favored us, and we weighed aucbor. Another
hundred yards was passed in salety, when some
evil-disposed spirit iiroku a lath-hook, and
anoSier pack sought reluge among ths huge
Uouidere. Anoiuer still auotuer and the cry
is "still they oome." "Mau always iu tins hu
mor swears ;'' but we did mat we oouldtft do
jualice to the subject, aud didn't try. "An
oilier' horse down 'two more." u, that
night woahl nU oome before we reach the
three-mile corral ! The word was paased for.
ward tu reach tbe oorral with the brll-marn, if
possible. I had the honor to carry the order,
d the soene that 1 witnessed I never shall
forget. T he desert, iu '53, could hardly com
pete with this. Here a keg there a box
lander" a sack while pack-saddles, blankets
ropes, etc., lay scattered iu confusion every-
; where. A horse straggling here in the sand,

to go soruo two miles further l'rnvidenco per
milling. At this rate, I rxtieot to reach Ban
nook about tho 1st of September, when I will
write you again. One word more. Tho pa
tience of Job has often boon cited hy tho cler

I lind lo return to town to repair some 'dam
ages, and mounted my oourser and proceeded
hitherto. .. About half way up I met the cars
going down. My horse discovered them, and
felt pretty confident thnt she all the hnrsps tn
this train nre ihe't oould beat them a mile nr
so. Not wishing to enoamber her with my
weight, as the oars approached, I gently ntightv
ed nn terra firma, the place whero my brains
should bo oatohing (he rest of my body, and
breaking tho fall. The oars were nearly oppo
ito us, and my mare felt oooftdont she oould
beat them. Tho race began I was firmly
seated ou the ground, with one end of the rope
in my hand and the other end arnunl her neck.
1 cannot say that I partlonlarly enoyed the
race that followed, at I struck several rooks of
a respcotable.-size, and, my. pants were ant
double seated. It can lie imagined better than
described. Tbe oars being the longest-winded

AGrkat Waterfall A dotnohiunnt of
trooiis recently sooutiug in tbe -valley of the
Snake nr Lewis fork or tho Colnmliin. iliannv.
ered a waterfall which is donbtloss justly enti
tled to the distinction of being oalled the great,
est in the world. The entire vnltuno of Snake
river pours over a sheer nrenit.inn nun linmlrml
and ninety-eight feet high thirty-eight fuel

large as the Niagara, and the casoada it in one
solid shoct,or budy., The locality of this im.
nionse waterfall is near the point heretofore
designated as tho Great Shoshone or Salmon
Falls of thnt river, but they have alnavs been
enveloped in mystory. Almost a doaen years
ago the writer passed along the Snake river
road. For two days we beard the roaring of
these falls, hut learned no more respecting them
than if they had been in the moon.
It was snirl there wero A series of falls nnd
rnpids, making a descent of seven hundred feet
n seven miles, nnd the soond gave color to the
report, I or huudrcds of miles across thnt great
plain Snake river flows through a canon, with
vertical walls, hundreds of feet high. It is . nly
at long intervals that salient points are round by
which the river can be reached. .The road
orosses from point to noint of tlie
approaching closo to the river where there is a
dilutee to desoend for water. From these facts

from the Inst speeoh ever nttered hy Stephen' 1
A. Douglas, spoken on tho 2d day of May,. !'
18(11, wiiiob I hope you will publish for the hen- "
ofit of Dnnglat men. Speaking of his oxer- ,
tinns in Congress to prevent the present war,
bciaid : , ,, . , ,' ,-, ,,;
That the present danger Ii Imlnent, no man ; '
oan conceal. If war roust oome if the bay. ",,
onet must uo nted to maintains the Conitltu
tion I can say before God my conscience it '
dear. I have struggled long for a peaceful so
lotion or the difficulty. I have not only ten-a dored
those Slntet what wu thcln of right hut "
I have gone to tbe very extreme of magnaoiro.. '
ity.- The return we receive It war, armlet '
marched upon our Capitol, obstructions soil
dangers lo our navigation, letturt of marque
to invito pirates to prey upon our onmmcroe, V
a oonoentrated movement to blot United Statet
from tbe map of the world. - The question l. ; -are
we to maintain the country or our fathers,
or allow it to be stricken down hy those who,
when they can no longer govern, threaten to " '
destroy." , , . ,, . , . ' ,
Again he said : " The slavery question is a
more exonse, the election of Lincoln it a mere
pretext. Tlie present secession movement Is
lw result nf an enormous conspiracy formed '
more than a year sinoe s formed by leaders In I
tlio southern confederacy more than twelve '
months ago."
Agnin lie said t They desired a Northern '
Itepuhlionn tc bo elected hy a purely Northern :
, vote, and then assign this at a reason why the"
sections may not longer live together. If the .
disunion candidate in tlie late Presidential '
election bud carried the united South ; their
scheme was, tbe Northern candidate successful,
to seize thu Capitol lost Spring, and by a united "
South and a divided North, hold it. , That ;
scheino was defoated in the defoel of the dison
ion candidate in several of the Southern Statu. w
But the conspiracy it now known. War hat
been levied to accomplish it. There are only
sides to the question. Every man must be two '
for the United States or against it."
In conclusion, he said: "ft Is a sad task to dis- '
cuss questions so fearful at civil wart but tad "
nt it is, but bloody and disastroos as I expect it ' '
to be. I express it as my ootivrction before
God, that it is the duty of every American
citizen tn rally rouud tbe flag of hie couutry,"
-1 received the speech from which the above
aro extracts from one who wns present at its 1
delivery. Nnw it is time that those who claimed 'i
to be the follower! of the ouoe illmlrlout but
now lamented Douglas, to mark well bis Ian- i
gnnge, aud ascertain if they can consistently ,
with the teachings and precepts or their leader, ' '
raise the standard of opposition againstthe red- ''
rral Government. . I give It as my firm oan- i n
vicliuo, that were Douglas, the patriot and .,,
statesman now living, the influence uf his paw. ,,
erful eloquence would bo wielded in behulf of
his country's cause. Purtisno strife would re
ceive no encouragement from bimi but he.v.n
would, as he said uu another oocatiuu, ,'sink
partisan in tlie patriot," and bear the ttau
dnrd of his country through all opposition ; un- "
til it floated free to tbe air of heaven over every
