TO Til K PIIBLKJ-OIHf (iHKKTI.VG.
! We offer to-day tlio first number of the
Daily Statkhman o tho reading-publio ol
Central Oregon. Confident tlmt the wants of
oo r growing population demand that the cur
rent news of tho lny be tupplicd through a
, publication which' shu.ll rencb thorn nt shorter
, intervals than once a week, wo (ball moke the
i effort to supply that want In such a manner ai
will Justify remunerative support. Without
indulging In cxtjavogaut promises which it will
be out of our power to fulfill, we yet are pre
t pared to assuro our patrons that the Daily
Statesman shall not only ho a complete reo
ord of such ovents at transpire in our Iminc
j diate vioinily, but, through the telegraph, we
i will be enabled to give each day a brief opit
' omo of the newt froiu all parts of the world.
We shall sparo no reasonable expense to pro
vide full reports of the progress of the groat
, eivil war whiob is now taxing the energies of
the nation, and of sooh other information as
will be of interest and value to our readers.
Our location at Ihe capital of the State, and
.near its center of population, gives us superior
i facilities for plaoing the news of the dav in the
hands of our subscribers in advance of other
papers, and it will be our chief aim to improve
(hose facilities in the most prompt and clEoient
Ynauner.
Politically, the Daily Statesman will be
in tho future what the Weekly Statesman has
( been in the past a warm and devoted sup
porter of the Administration and the Union.
Believing that it is only through a vigorous
prosecution of tho war against Southern rebels,
to tho utter extinction of trousou and the com
plete humiliation of traitors, that the salvation
"of our country is to be secured, we shall earn
estly uphold tho Government whenever and
wherever our voice can aid and encourage it.
Confident that the re-election of Abraham
Lincoln by the loyal people will cause the
hearts of Jeff Davis and his followers to quake
wilb terror, we shall strenuously advocate his
second exaltation to the Chief Magistracy.
Knowing that the sucoessof the modern dem
ocratic party wilt cause shouts of exultation
from rebel voioes all over the Southern Confed
eracy, we shall oppose that party determinedly,
vigorously, bitterly. We do not hold ourselves
bound to approve every act and deed of the
Administration which will find in us a defender,
but shall freely indulge in temperate and can
did criticism of its acts. Neither do we expect
to defeat our opponents by.uufair misrepresent
ation or vituperative abuse. Their pernicious
principles can be best combated with truth and
fair argument, and upon these we shall rely.
The coming session of the Legislature prom
ises to be the most important ever held in tho
State, and details of its proceedings will be
looked for with much interest. Wo design to
have a competent reporter in attendance upon
their sessions, whose notes will furnish a com
plete record of their daily transactions. We
are determined not to be excelled iu the accu
, racy or freshness of our reports. . The doings
of the Supreme Court, too, will be registered
in our columns as they oicur.
Local news of tho town and the surrounding
. country will not bo neglected.
Id short, we shall do our part toward making
the Daily Statesman an enterprising, read
able, live paper one which no oitizon or fam
ily within its reach can afford to do without.
But it is Dot upon ns alone that the enterprise
must rely for success. 'The cointnuuity must
come forward with liberal subscriptions, if they
desire the news of the world broughttto their
doors each day. The costly transmission of
news by telegraph, together with the largely
enhanced price of paper and other material,
render the expense of publication far greater
than it formerly was. We proniiso to make a
paper worth its price wo call upon the publio
to support it.
While the mails are riujuing upon the pres
ent schedule, we shall issue tho paper in the
evening in time for the stage going south. City
subscribers will he supplied at 4 o'clock p.m.
Onr terms will be found in another column.
We shall adhere striclly to the rule requiring
payment in advance in all cases.
Unionism op tub Israelites. The
Stockton Independent of July 11th gives pub
lication, to the following :
George Silverbrick, a Jew, recently from the
Union army, where he served two years, arri
ved in this city the other day on bis way to
Mariposa, on a visit to a brother aaif sister
whom he had not seen for sixteen rears. Ho
says that he has no means of knowing the sen
timents of the Jews in California iu regard to
the war ; but be vouches for their loyalty gen
erally throughout the States struggling against
the rebellion. He is from New York, and
served in the Thirty-first New York Volun
teers. During the term of his service he
fonght under four different Generals: First,
under McDowell, at Bull Hun ; second, under
McClellan, at the seven days' fight near Rich
mond, at Malveru Hill, West Point, Yorktown
and Antietam. His third commander was
Geueral Burnsiile. at Fredricksburg, and fourth,
under Joe Honker, at Fredericksburg and
cross the Rappahannock. He was taken pris
oner twice once under MoClellnn and once
under Hooker. He was shot in the thigh at
Sabbath Station, and was enrrd of his wound
by rebel surgeons. He says that there were
450 Jews iu tho same regiment. 17 of whom
onlv are now surviving the rest having all been
killed in battle nr died from wounds. -In the
Sixty-sixth New York there were 560 Jews ;
in the Thirtv-eiirhlth. JEW. In the Seventh,
Eleventh and Twentieth New York Regiments
there were also many Jews in the ranks ; slso
hundreds onold he fouud in the volunteer regi
ments of other States. He says ths Jews of
the North and West are loyal to the core, and
as substantially Iron to tho Union cause aud
strongly opposed to ths rebellion as any class of
citisens in the country.
Vai.lanoioiiam. The New York Tribune
takes this view of Vallandighaiu's valuo as a
citizen of Ohio :
C. L. Vallandighaai has returned from Dixie
. via Canada to Ohio, and has been chosen a del
egate to ths Chicago Convention. ' We regret
to see son Adtuinistration jnnrnals urge his re
arrest and rebanishment. Wo hope not. He
is blind partisan of lleClellan. and Is needed
at Chicago to prevent ihe nominstion of a
fighting General who believes in the war for ths
Union. Bettor let him alone. lie will do good

(Ob. URKrV AMD CUT. KELLY.
We are iuformcd that-nftor proceeding some
fifty miles on tho expedition to tho plnins, Cap
tain Kelly was peremptorily ordered back to
Ft. Klamath, by Col. Drew, bcnring sealed or
ders, to he opened at that Post. On arriving
at the Post, he opened his orders, and found
instructions for him to.pnweed Immediately to
Portland on recruiting service, wnn sneoiui or
dors nut to assume oommand at Ft. Klamath.
Company C is one of the largest companies
in tho regiment, and there now remains but
one officer iD it.
We learn from outside sources that a diffi
culty sprang up between Col. Drew and Cant.
Kelly, as to whether the Klamath Lake ln
dinus are guilty nr innocent of participating in
the attack on Richardson's party. It is said
that among a number of Indians who visited
the command, tw were recognized by citizens
as having been engaged iu tbe fight near Silver
Lake. The Captain wished to see tbe Indians
punished then and there; the Colonel desired to
proceed with the expedition, and beoause of
this diffurenoe of opinion, it is claimed that tho
Cantain is ordered to Portland. This leaves
Col. Drew the only officer with the expedition.
Such is the statement of facts in the case, as
we received them. We are anxious to know
the truth of this whole matter, and will furnish
our readers with whatever facts may come to
hand. ' ' , , .' , ': '
The above Is from lbs Jacksonville 8tnlinel
we have confirmatory statcmeuts from an intel
ligeiit and reliable correspondent In Jackson
County. The same gentleman alleges that
prospcotiog for gold and silver is tho main ob-
jcot of the expedition and not any design to
punish tho Indians. There is much feeling in
Jackson County upon the matter, and the faots
will probably all come out soon. It seems in
credible that Col. Drew would oonsign so valu
able and efficient an officer as Capt. Kelly to
the recruiting scrvioe, when his services in the
field arc so urgently noeded. Wo observe that
T'Vault's Intelligencer is lond in defense of
Col. Drow. That is strong presumptive evi
dence of Drew's culpubility. If the manage-'
ment of military affairs in Jackson County has
been what it should be, Drew ought to some
how stop T'Vault's mouth. II is praise is fast
raising a prejudice against Drow which uo loyal
man ought to Incur.
This Oreoon Arena Tbe first number of
a paper with the above titlo appeared in Salem
last Monday. It is a structure reared by the
Salem Printing and Publishing Company"
upon tho ruins of the defunct Oregon Demo
crat, formerly published at Albany. C. B.
Bellinger is tho editor, and starts out to arguo
his hud cause with evident shrewdness and
ability. Its typographical appearance is neat
and attractive its politics deplorably imbued
with oopperheadism. A single extract from its
leading article will suffice to explain its posi
tion i ' .

that it is a fraud and outrage upon our free instito

While the employment of force to check this wrong
hus been almost universally acquiesced in, yet at the

against the traitors who train under Jeff Davis,
will do well to read the Arena.

WILLAMETIK UNIVERSITY.
Examination of classes commenced Monday,
18th.
In the forenoon the following clusses were ex
amined i Latin, French, Greek, Algohra, Gram
mar, Elocution, and Book keeping.
In the afternoon, the class in Ltvy, under Pres-;
blent Catch, passed a very creditable examina
tion i and a class of younger students, iu Geo
grapliy.rrof, Grubbs, acquitted themselves oredit
ably. A clasa In history, under the tutorship of
Miss Lea, and one in Grammar, under Prof. Pow
ell, were also examined, most of the members of
which exhibited a good degree of proficiency.
On the second day, Tuesday, tho classes in Vir
gil, Herodotus, Algebra, Composition, Arithmetic,
Calculus and Trigonometry passod favorable ex
amination's. , . , - , . I ! - 1
The recitations of the classes in Astronomy and
Botany were very ready and creditable both to
teachers and students, but the time allowed for
the examination of each was insufficient to give
them a fair chance. ,
A large class of young pupils was examined by
Prof. Grubbs in "Objoet Lessons." Ths aim of
tbis study seems to be to teach the philosophy of
things familiar, and lead the young to think by
reasoning upon objects with which they daily
come iu contact. The class-In Natural Theology
exhibited a thorough knowledge of tho text book,
and manifested an appreciation of the subject by
answering many questions asked by (IstTereut
persons. The exercises ware interspersed with
songs and instrumental music by the yonng la
dies and gentlemen under the direction of the
music teacher, Miss Ilreymnii, "We are coming,
Father Abraham," with a chorus, was sung with
a spirit that almost made U1 feel the ground shake
beneath the tread of the U nion s brave dofeiiders.
Wuat tub English say of Ghant. The
London Spectator of May 28th, after a very
dear and impartial resume of tho battles in
Virginia during tho first weeks of that month,
thus characterizes Gen. Grant I
" Tticforce he commands is American five-
sixths its rank and file, and three-fourths of its
non commissioned and enmmissionod. officers
being native horn Americans f. ., a force
stubbornly bntvo. enduring beyond the ordi
nary precedent of soldiery, but over-oonoeited,
over anxious about its comforts, and liable to
almost hysteria panics. Gen. Grant uses all
those qualities, fights as revolutionary generals
should fight, as the first generals of the French
Convention fought, makes numbers, and gal
lantry, una ardor do duty lor discipline, al
lows no period of inaotion, takes tho position
he wants, if it costs a man for every tree, and
when a division is destroyed hurls another into
its placo and still further npon the road. "Con
querors, conquered or banged, forward we
must," is the true motto nf a democratic army,
and General Grant alone, among the soldiers '
whom tho Republic has yet produced, has acted
upon this truth. He hurls his men ou the ob
stacle ; if ttiey take it, well ; if not, another
division renews the effort : if that is also driven
hack, the nrmy does not defend it'olf, but at
tacks the attackers; if rnmors come in an
nouncing a total root, the General ' does uot
behove a word of it," hut sends op Jus next
reserve. His mode of fighting, it may be said,
is mere pommeling, Lord Gough's strategy,
but we ask candid men, have English generals
(and Grant is ns English in all but hubitat as
Wellington) ever succeeded in employing- any
other? Get him olose to his foes, and the
Anglo-Saxon wins, and strategy, when all is
said, is only tho science of winning. It is ex
haustive une inoutn s immigration will re-
Eair all tbe losses of Spottsylvania. It is
loody? Would disease kill fewer if tbe delay
were scientific? It is immoral t It is yet to
be proved that the guilt of slaughter depends
on the number of the slaughtered, or tlmt the
battle which is "heroic If a thousand are slain,
is "an offerinir to Moloch," if ten thousand fall.
The swiftest war is the most merciful war. and
with tho means at his disposal, means as limit

General Grunt is, we believe, securing the
swiftest war. Fifty thousand reiular soldiers.

Into a ruttdy-witled artillerist, would be a less
costly, a less bloody, and a uioro cflioieut
weapon ; but then where is that wenpou to bo
obtained by Gen. Grunt? Contending with a
general who is perhaps bis superior in brain,
who commands an army inured to victory, who
was fighting round his own hearth, in a country
of which he knew every step, Gen. Grout, with
only equal numbers, leading men who have
failed in three invasions, awl fighting upon soil

iMpnovBD Humanity of tub Rkiikls. In
their lutO battles with Steele, In Arkansas, the
rebels-showed wonderful humanity to the ne
gro prisoners. They even neglected tho white
wouudod to " pour oil and wine " on the hurts
of the colored oiks. This extraordinary hu
manity is tuns explained by the St. liouis Vem-
ocrat:
" A colored regiment that was scut out sev
eral miles from camp on a foraging expedition
was lurrounueii or live or six limes ineir nam
ber,but, instead of surrendering, ns white
troops would havo probably felt justified iu do
ing under the circmustunevs. they went in witli
tho battle-cry of 'Kememher Fort Pillow,' and
cut their wny out. Iu this operation they lust
half of their uumber, but inflioted a bloody ret
ribution on their enemy. With such a proof
before their eyes that negroes will fight, it is
perhaps natural enough that tho Coulederntes
should come to llo conclusion that it will be
safer for themselves to have the negroes under
stand that there it morn security in surrender
ing mail in ngtitiug. 1 hero is nothing like a
musket to make either negro or white man re
speoted." Grant at thb Camp Fiiie. At the even
ing mess table I met General Oraut, and niter
a very hasty meal, I watched him for an hour
as he sat by the camp firo. He is a small man
with a square, resolute, thinking face. He sat

first ininrcs-ion was, that he was moody, dull
and unociaI. I afterwards found him pleas
ant, geuiul and agroeuble. Ho keeps his own
counsel, padlocks bis mouth, while his counte
nance in bnttle or repose or counsel, indicates
nothing that is, gives no expressions nf his
feelings and no etideitoc of his intentions. He
smokes almost osnstantly, and, ns 1 then and
since have observed, he bus a habit of whittling
with a small knife. Ilo cuts a stick iuto small
chips, making nothing. It is evidently a mere
occupation of tho lingers, his mind all the time
intent on oilier thugs. Among men bo is in
nowise noticeable, There is no glitter or pa

RETALIATINO. A correspondent of an East
orn paper says that about tiio middle of May,
opposite Natchez, Mississippi, a force of Union
black troops was sent out to disperse a similar
force of rebels. The latter were badly whipped
and routed. The Blacks went into battle with
the rallying cry of "Remember Fort Pillow."
Eleven men were captured, bnt were immedi
ately put to the sword on tho spot where they
surrendered. One' rebel dropped on bis knees
before a blask soldier and begged for his life.
The soldier turned to his oaplain aud said, "cap
tain, what shall I do with this man ? "l)o
wilb him as he would do with yon if he was In
your place, and yoa was in his," was the quick
reply. Swift as theoght a loyal bullet was sent
from a Colt revolver through the rebel's head,
and he fell dead before the black avenger.
