FROM BOISE.
From an Omuinnal Correspondent.)
Busk Mixes. March 30, 18o4.
Y.a. 8TATKSMA!! t Yon aro doubtless favored
with numerous fine) stories of the richness and
extent of the placer and quart! mines in this Ter
ritory. It is quite probable, too. that all you have
heard is not only true, bnt infinitely short of the
"whole truth." This is flattering indeed to the
just pride of the greatest people on tho face of the
whole earth, jnst emerging successfully from the
most dreadful ordeal through which any nation
from the beginning of time to the momentous pros
nt was ever railed to pass, toknow that not only
no part of our immense domain is not productive,
hut that the portion formerly pronounced worse
than useless is turning but to be valuable beyond
calculation. So immensely rich is this region in
gold and silver, and so extensive are these mines
that no one is stupid enough to ever think of fig
nrestlint mavindicnto their ullimateyield. With
tho above all' trite, is it not wonderful that farmers,
mechanics, and business men generally don't drop
their various callings, leave their families and
those dependent upon them for support, to take
rare of themselves a best they can, or perish if
they mitt, while they rush here to secure for them
elves at least a small interest in these rich minus I
Of the richness and extent of those mines much
has been truthfully said, yet I conceive that the
'whole truth" has not been told that very part
of the truth most necessary to be known has sel
dom been touched upon, and even then in such a
manner as to make little or rro impression. Here
then it corlainly will not be amiss to say that
mining is a IrWe and a ttndy that the rules of
trade in the mines and with miners are of neces
sity essentially different from what they are with
any and all other interests. To mi ne successfully,
one of necessity sansf become a miner t to do this
takes years of time, employed in the most labori
ous and taxing manner conceivable and miners,
ninety-nine of every hundred, are, morally, men-t-illy.nnd
physically unfitted for any thing else.
Mining as compared with funning is eminently a
low. dirtv railing, degrading In its tendencies
almost as full of false promise as the gamingtable
men once fully within ila toils are well nigh be
yond the pale of hope. Kach heavy advance,
each great battle, each laborious siege, each season
of privation and hardship endured by the miner,
furnishes lis fearful mortality list : yet I doubt
whetherthe same nnntjerof excited miners with
... mimoriiinarr eaanaltiea and free from
restraint have escaped with o small a list of
"killd, wounded and missing. II 1 was tann

Canyon Citv. April fi. 1804.
Ed. Statesman : Yon will perceive that I
havo changed mv place nf residence, by the
heading of this fetter. I left the Dalle on
Sunday; March V7th. and arrived at this town
on Sunday, April 3d. I had rather a pleasant
trip of it notwithstanding the weather wa
somewhat stormy. I learn, since I arrived here,
that the past winter has been one of unusual
mildness, until within the lost two weeks, since
which lime it has suowed and rained, alter
nately. The supposition here is now that the
.mountains are suflloiuntlv filled w4th snow to
famish the rivers with water for the entire com
ing Summer. This camp is undoubtedly one
ol the best, if not the heat one, in the northern
country j from the fact that there ia more water
than elsewhere. I waa in Boise nnd Auburn,
last seasou. and I am fully satisfied with what
I have seen of tbii camp, that it ia the best camp
of all oainps.
The demaud for hand, to work in the dig
gings, is proof of the fact. There is demand
for on thousand men ncre, to work, r.very
one who come in finds work readily, and at
fair rates four or fire dollar per day ia the
price paid for hands to mine. Many who are
rushing off In Boise and Owyhee will he glad
to retura to Canyon tn ret work. In (act, the
road tn the above named place is on ihe Hue
with Canyon City from Dalle, and it would be
advisable' for all who are on the work to oomo
hy way of Canyon, litis country ia not pros
pected any. comparatively speaking. The
road from Dalles to I hi place, ia one hundred
and eighty mile, over a good a road ai can
be wished for. both wagon road and pack trail.
The mil)' trouble is, occasionally, the stealing
of horse by the In .inns. It ia generally be
lieved, however, that they are ichilt Indiam.
It is highly important that the Goreruor, or
some "other man.' fhould aend two or three
companies uf soldiers np this way, for the pro
tection of miuers and travelers generally.
There i now a company ol K0 or 100 men oat
in pursuit of Indian. I hope they will suc
ceed in their undertaking. . The market of
goods generally seem to be well supplied. The
general cry n, more nanus to won ine minea,

copper and cinnabar are also found. There ii
said to be ft mineral lien, nnoui utteen nines
wide, running with tho Cascade range, which is
believed to extend from one end of the Stats to
tho other.
The lodes all hear the same general direc
tion. S.S.E., and N.N.W., with a slight dip lo
the West.- The rook obtained from the Driggi
ode and probably from the others when the
cropping! are removed U a bluish quartz, lull
of pyrite of iron, and very much resembling, in
appearance, the rock from the "Comstock
Ledge" in Nevada. , .
Wo think it may be suloiy satu mat mere is
no longer any doubt of tho existence i f rich
mineral deposit in that region. Jt will require
considerable time nnd a large amount of capi-
tal to work and develop them, hut they will
doubtless prove nf more lasting benefit lo the
country than the rich plaoer digging! where
fortutifs could be made tn a day witu tue pan
or the rocker.

working Representative Since he asfnined
the responsibility of representing Oregon' in
terests at Washington, our State ha been Ihe
recipient of moro favori Irom the General Gov
ernment than had fallen to her lot for many
long yeari before. It ii unnecessary to recap
itulate tho various measures adopted that will
result beneficially to Oregon's especial interest,
oa they have been ourront news here for weeks.
To Mr. McBride, Oregon is under a deep and
lasting debt of gratitudo for the ofiioicnt and
persistent manner in which he devoted bis
energies to her welfare, and the straightforward
and manly political course pursued by him at
Washington, as evidenced by a reoent speech
delivered in tin House. SOUt Journal.

Tbe follow iug resolution were adopted :
Rewired, lt. That we renew our failb in.
and dovotiou lo. the Virginia and Kentucky
r-eolntion of ir.W-9, and the ancient land-
u:ark of Ihe Democracy, wuicii lor more man
half oeutory carried our country safely and
prosperously, under all cireflinstaocei, and In
all eitiergeiicici. ...... ,
iJ. That are in favor of lh I uu.ii and
the Conslilnlion a our patriot Ka!lrs made
Iheiii, and lhat we are In favor nf nlbmiiig tbe
revolted Slits' lo return to their alleg unta na
iler that Constitution, with nil tho rights which
t int sacred instrument secures tn them,
lid. That while wu eniiduinii the notion nf
those. States which have pi red themselves Iu
renellloli nguitist tho (joveriiinent, He also oon
.'."o mill denonnoe that usurpation of tyrnn
uicai 'uthorUv which prohibits the return of
those hi.. to tlie Uniuu, until they shall hnvu
mado their (.''-institution conform, not to ihe
will iu their respective peoplo, but to suit the
anti-slavery view of President Lincoln and
hi party,
4th. That wo are opposed to nil violation
either of the Constitution, or nf the law en
acted in aconnlunoe therewith ; and nppnred tn
usurpation, tyranny, fraud, extravagance, and
in favor of the rnaiiitaiuance inviolate, of every
right oi every citizen.
5th. That the Constitution is tho supreme.
and all controlling law which binds together
the States in Union, and the leveronce of that
cord, for the abolition of slavery is Inexpedient,
unjustifiable, revolutionary nnd dangerous, and
demand tho unqualified condemnation of all
good men.
tltli. That we would hail with joy a peace se
cured upon the principles of tho Crittenden
Compromise or npnn any honorable basis at the
earliest practicable moment ; and we condemn
all attempts to discourage and prevent an ami
cable settlement nf our national difficulties as
evincing unworthy partisan hate and ma ice,
and oi dearly unpatriotic and disunion.
7tii, I Hat wo endorse the sentiment ol sen
ator Dough that "this government wai made
on a white basis for the benefit of white men;"
that we endorse nnd accept that interpretation
of the Constitution made hy the Supreme
Court, ai entirely la accordance with the un
broken precedent of every Administration
down to the present, tn the effect that negroes
are not citizens nf the United States.
8th. That the suspension of tho writ of
habcai corput, the arrest of citizens without
duo process of law, tlifl suppression nt tree
speech and the freedom of the press, ii incon
sistent with the principle uf free government,
and is utterly condemned by the Democratic
parly of this State.
"tli. 1 hat we are oppofeu tn all secret po
litical organizations as being subversive of our
republican form of Government.
And It Is further
Retolved, By this Convention, that we are
rny in favor of what the lute Abolition State
Convention pretended in favor, namely: tho
exemption of miners and mining claims from
special taxation, and we will use our influence
to continue such exemption.
Mr. Uutou moved to strike out the 3d resolu
tion and iuseit:
Retolved, That this Union hoi not been dis
solved, and that whenever the rebellion In any
seceded State shall be put down and subdued,
either by force of Federal arms ur by the vol
untary vtibmissinn nf audi State to the author
ity of the Constitution, then such State shall
be restored to all its right and privilege as a
State of thia Union under the Constitution nf
noh Stato. including the right tn regulate, or
der and control it! own domestic institutions
according tn the Constitution and law nf such
State, free from all congressional or exeoutivo
control or dictation.
Tho amendment waa rejected; ayci 11,
