4 1 SATl'UDAY, OCTOHKK 3, 1SG8.. State" Fair. We spent a few briet j but pleasant hours in attendance on the I State Fair at Salcrn, on "Wednesday. The ciOwd of people in attendance was TO O .V 1 AF FAI11 Itv. J. II. D- IIknuerrsos. Wo announced in the last issue of the Reg ister, that Rev. Mr. Henderson would occupy the pulpit of the Congregational Church of this city, morning and even ing, on last Sabbath, the 27th. His non arrival iu this city at the- time stated was a cause of disappointment to many of his friends. Through the kindness of Mr. Md'lurc we are informed of the uu.se ot his n!i-ful5!!im-nt of the ap pointment. On Saturday morning, the 20th ult.. Mr. Henderson left his home in Eugene City for Albany. He got as far as Mr. S. trweingeai's, some twelve miles from Engene City, where his horse was taken sick, and in a few hours, died. It bing impossible to ieach this city in time to fulfill his appointment, he re turned to hi home on Sunday morning. It is bis intention to visit this city at an early day. " Fire Engines. We see by the Ore gonian that the Committee on Fire and Water of the Portland City Council of fer one or two fire engines at very low figures. Here is a chance for our City Council to procure an engine at a reas onable price. If a fire company were formed by our male citizens, "and our City Fathers petitioned by them to pur chase an engine, we have no doubt the matter could be accomplished. At pres ent; we believe, there is no lire organiza tion of any kind in our city, and should we be so unfortunate as to be visited again with that fearful ! scourge, there's no telling where it would stop ; there is nothing to prevent the whole city from being consumed should a high wind pre vail. Retukned. A party of three of our citizens returned, a day or two since, from a pleasure and prospecting trip in the mountains. We have seen speci mens of quartz obtained from a lode they run across iu their travels, which they think will prove worth "going down " on.Of their discoveries we are not at liberty at present to say more than thajhey are satisfied with the prospect soTar, and intend . to return in a few days, when they will have more time and be better prepared to make a thorough investigation of the discoveries. We siucerely wish them the completes! success. Grain Receipts. Aswc have be fore stated, the yield ofCwhcat and oats the present snuson' brs been unprece- dently large in Linn county. For the last two or three weeks there has been a constant stream of wagons lolled with these cereals goiug and returning through our streets to the mills and vari ous warehouses, and at tlio present time there is vei y little room left for storage; in fact in one or more instances parties have been compelled to stop receiving, having no more room left. The follow ing is an approximate statement of the number of bushel, of wheat ai.d oats uills and warehouses Corralled. John Saunders, of Lee & Ryland's circus, while here during the continuance of the County Fair, occupied a room at the Pacific Hotel. Coming to the hotel very late, after a season of "jolarity," as we are informed, finding he couldn't get into his room without un locking the door, the key of which he had about him, and feeling as rich as a lord and' able to pay any amount of damages, he deliberately smashed the door in. He acknowledged the deed the uext day, and promised to pay the dam age ; but early on Saturday morning he left with the Company for Scio, having failed to potlatch the necessary coin The landlord, Jake Sprenger, engaged the services of our efficient Sheriff, who not only went for, but brought him back ; and the result of the affair was that Saunders had to hand over some $30 or 840. nearly five times as much as it i would have cost him had he paid in the first instance. These kind ot fellows will learn eventually that they dou't own and can't ran every hotel they stop at, by a long chalks Drugs and Medicines.-!-.-The human system with it bones, and muscles, and nerves, is like a delicate piece of machin ery, which, if rougly handled, is liable to get out of order, and need repairs. A simple cold sometimes, from the want of a little attention at first, ripens into a chronic ailmeot which, if it does not pro duce death, is the cause of. much suffer ing, loss of time and money. By the judicious expenditure of a few bits at the nearest druggists, all this may be avoided. If you are in need of anything in the drug line, call on XL C. Hill & Co., on First street.

There was a very good dis play of fruits, vegetables, seeds, ores, in ventions, sewing and washing machines, patent churns, etc., but the great attrac tion vjas the portion especially devoted to ladies work. The fair daughters of Oresron excelled themselves on this oc .w v casion, and the .display of needle-work and all kinds of dome&'o manufactures, painting, ornamental work of various -Wheat, o0. STATE ITEMS. From the Jacksonville Sentinel of last Saturday (26th) we extract as follows : Steam Hod Carrier. V new style of hod carrier is" to be seen at work at the new building in Jj road way, near Crofby street, consisting of an elevator ALBANY ADVERTISEMENTS.

We observed quite a "sprinkling" of ar ticles in this department that were "built" by Linn tounty ladies, and were on exhi bition at our Fair. As our time was lim ited, we were enabled to give but a pass ing glance at the stock department. Quite a number of the fine breeds of shrep were on exhibition, that were en titled and would receive attention any where. The show of cows and calves and bulls was very fair. Many suggestions have been offered by cur brothers of the quill throughout the State for the improvement of future Fairs, which will doubtless be acted upon by the board of mrnagers. Taking everything into consideration, we pro nounce the State Fair of 1SG8 a"" very fair showing of the industrial interests of the State, and hope that in future its snocess will be commeusurate with it? importance. Lively Times. Although quite a large delegation of our citizens in fact - all who could possibly spare time from their business have been absent in at tendance on the State Fair at Salem dur ing the week, yet our streets have pre sented a lively , appearance, and business generally has been good. - The attaches at oar flouring mills have been as busy as bees, receiving and paying , for grain, from early morn till late at night. ' There soon will be an immense amount of flour on hand awaiting shipment. Numerous. The " uoble red men" and "dusky maidens " of the forest at present are quite numerous in andSaround Albany. They are, in some instances, made quite useful in various ways. A well grown buck with the assistance of three or four of his tillicurcs, male and female, will saw up a cord ot fire wood into stove lengths if plenty of time is given. They are a rather attractive look ing race of people, (vide Cooper's novels,) and are perfectly honest, never taking anything out of their reach, or that proves too much for their muscle' to "tote" off. We understand that the large proportion belong on the Yamhill reser vation, and many of our citizens, looking to their welfare, are inclined to the opin ion that they are needed there at least they are not needed here. So farewell, ye blanketed, moccasonedand legginged satraps and satrapsesses of the forest; and when you go may you remain happy in your going, and return not. Ox Cowan's V a rehouse Wlieat, 15,000. Cheadle's Warehju.-e Wheat, 28, 000; Oats, 2,000. Foster &'Bro.'s Mills aud Warehouse Wheat. 50,000. Beach & Monteith's Mills Wheat, 50,000 ; Oats, 5,000. This gives a total of 190,000 bushels of wheat and oats now in store, and still it comes. As our mills and warehouses will hold, when packed to their utmost capacity, but 45,000 bushels more, and as the receipts' have averaged from 0,000 to 8,000 bushels per day, the poorest mathematician cau see that, unless rain enough falls to enable steamers to resume navigation of the Willamette the coming week, farmers will have to retain the wheat and oats in their graneries until it does, as about every foot of room will be takeu up by that time. We actually want ram ! Music. -As will be seen by card in to-day's issue, Mrs. F. Dalton, a highly accomplished musician and estimable lady, offers her services as a teacher of iustrumenta' and vocal music. ) We com mend this lady to those who wislr to ex cel in these accomplishments. .Thigh Mangled. A young man named Geo. O. Tenny, on Wednesday last, had his thigh badly injured by one of the iron dogs striking him while in the act of turning over a log on the saw-carriage. Lightning Apple Fearer. They have a piece of machinery over at Mack 's stove store, called a Lightning Apple Fearer, that just "knocks the socks" 6F n anything yet built for that purpose. So says Andy. The receipts of the State Fair at Sa lem, up to Wednesday, were in the neigh borhood of $7,000. The receipts of Linn County . Fair were $2,700. A Visit. Gen. Abbott, of the Democrat, left un on Tuesday morning last, for his duties at Salem, after a visit of two or three days in Albany. The General seems to take the honors thrust upon him by the Democratic Legislature very coolly, and with the exception, per haps, of a ljftier mien, a heavier tread, and a deeper and more , determined thrusting of his editorial digits into that portion of his apparel known by the appellation of breeches, we see little of change to note in him.' Thrown from a Horse. Geo Mealey, a son of Mr. Chas. Mealey of this city, eleven or twelve years of age, was thrown from a horse which he was riding; to the river to water, on Thursday even ing, by which he received severe bruises about the head and face. We are glad to learn that co danger is apprehended in the case. Arm Badlt Cut A" man named G reggs, while sawing wood at Judge .Geary's four miles from this city, with a circular saw attached to a horse pow er, had his left arm partly sawed off bv" falling on the saw, on the 25th of September. Under the treatment of Dr. Rice, he is doing well, and hopes are entertained that amputation of the arm will not be necessary. Oats. Oats is being received at the mills and warehouses of this city in fair quantities. Mr. Markham , informs us that he has been receiving an average of 800 to 1,000 bushels daily for'the last few days.- We quote ruling price at 37C; Mr. M., however, is paying 40c per bushel. - Steamboat- Accident. On' the morning of the 20th uit., at Portland, the steamer Alert, just after the first sig nal for starting was blown, exploded the connecting joint in her steam pipe, by which an attache named Geol Russell was so badly burned that he died the next day. The engineer and a boy stand ing near him were slightly scalded. Change. S. R. Buchanan and John W. Kelley have bought the interest of Geo. W. Carlton, in the Boise Democrat, and now run the machine in connection with our old time friend Tom Bail. Legislative. From the proceedings of Tuesday we extract from the Unionist as follows : I Mr, Gilfry introduced H. J. R. No. 13, as fol lows Whereas, George H. Williams and Henry W. Curbed,, now holding seats in tbe Senate of the United States from he State of Oregon, bare misrepresented tbe people thereof in this, that amongst maov other grievous wrongs, they have supported and voted for measures in the Senate which were in plain and palpable violaf among whi-h mea-ures are those known as the Reconstruction Acts of Congress, which acts, in their enforcement, have overthrown and subverted civil liberty and free government within eleven States of this Union, and consigned tbe citizens thereof to odious and despotic military dictator ship, unknown to our Constitution, and in dero gation of its most sacred guarantees : depriving the citizens of those States without trial or con viction, of the sacred rights of trial by jury and the elective franchise; consigning their lives, their liberty and their property to tbe mercies of thone who are without responsibility to the people over whom they exercise their authority, and obedient only to those who hold the power to command them for their oppressive acts; said pretended reconstruction acts give the people 'of those States the alternative of a perpetual wear ing of the galling yoke of military power and oppression, or submission to the more dreaded fate of being governed by hordes of ignorant, deluded negroes. Tbe said Williams and Corbett have betrayed and misrepresented the people of this State in their support of measures calculated to destroy tbe constitutional powers and prerog atives of the Supreme Court of the United States, and to usurp the constitutional functions of the Fxecntive. They have been actuated by un worthy partizan motives in their efforts to im peach and 'Amove the President of the United States for pretended high crimes and misdemean ors. In the case of Senator Williams, comparing his speeches ill the Senate upon the Ten urn nf Office Bill with his subsequent votes for the im- peaenment ot toe President lor a pretended viola tion of that act, we are constrained to believe that he acted from improper and unworthy motives -therefore be it ; , ' Resolved, By the Legislative Assembly of the State of Oregon : 1st.' That George H. Williams and Henry W. Corbett, now holding the offices of U. S. Senators from the State of Oregon, be and are herebv in. rtructed to resign tbe same, to the end that per sons may be selected as their successors, who will fairly and honestly represent the State of Oregon in the United States Senate. 2d. That copies of the foregoing preamble and resolutions, signed by the President of the Senate I and Speaker of the Houae or Representatives, be forwarded by tbe President of the Senate to said George H. Williams and Henry W. Corbett, to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States of America, at as early day a practicable. : lar piece was picked up in the dirt. A search was instituted and six more pieces of gold were found. A total of one hundred and forty dollars were found. The gold had probably been buried thcro by some miner who was a victim of the Indian war, some of the pieces being simply twenty dollar ingots from a San Fiaticisco assay office. A little son of Andrew Coakley's was kicked by a horse, cutting a fearful gas-h aud fracturing the skull. The child lay i iu convulsions for seveial hous, but hopes were entertained of his recovery. At the races on Friday, (25th) in the trotting match, best two in three, for a purse of 8100, was won by Comstock & Cawley's " Jake," an old livery horse of ten years' standing, in 3.28. The corn crops are reported as unusu ally good in Jackson county. A letter from Klamath lake informs the Sentinel that the Indians are en gaged on the the reservation harvesting a full crop. Some of the Snake Indians had come in and gone to work, appar ently well satisfisd. The dwelling of Mr. E. K. Anderson, above Phoenix, was dcstrojred by fire on the 24th. Nothing but a little bedding saved. Fire was caused by hot ashes carelessly placed. A man by the name of Ivory was badly cut about the head, with a knife in the hands of Richardson, in a fight between the parties. In the Canyon, in Douglas county the oldest son of Col. Wm. Martin cut his foot nearly off on Thursday last. The Sentinel is hard on the State Fair. It says : Its object is principally to en courage the people of the State to carry their spare change to Salem to be invest ed in ginger pop. steam swings and all the-traveling bilks that congregate there to impose upon the " Oregon Flats." The fair itself is only a kind of a side show to catch the loose quarters the horse races are the main feature: they are got up expressly for the benefit of the greeneys who generally bet on the slowest horse, while the sharps put their tongues in their cheeks and laugh while they win. The Fair is a great institu tion ; it gather? all the blackguards and rowdies, poker sharps and pick-pockets in thebtate. It is the harvest of hurdy gurdies and lager beer jerkers, and while it runs at the State capital other towns are punned tor the time being. We find the following in an exchange Married In Salt Lake City, on the 10th ult., in the presence of the Saints, Brigharo Young to Mrs. J. R. Martin, Miss Emily P. Martin, Miss L. M.

The Grand Duke Alexander, who was on board, and all the crew, were saved. On the 26th ult., at Helena, Montana, ex-Gov. S- W. Beals, of Wisconsin, was shot by Geo. M. Penny, ex-United States Marshal, and died the next day. The coroner's jury rendered a verdict of done in self-defence. A German, who for the past five years has been living in San Francisco, an out cast from society, received a letter from Germany a short time since inclosing a $500 check and informing him that by the death of an uncle he was heir to an estate Worth 850,000. He left by the last steamer to take possession of his good fortune. The Owyhee Avalanche of a late date, has the following : A few evenings since. Col. Fogus in vited a number of his friends both la dies and gentlemen to assist him in holding a jubilee over the mammoth brick mentioned by us last week as being worth over $22,000. The wine cup went its rounds and the dance continued until the "wee sma' hours" admonished the happy circle to seek repose. It is not often that the flowing bowl is passed round on a $22,000 salver of home man ufacture, and this occasion will long be remembered. - ! IN lUEMORIAXa. Albany, Sept. 29th, 1868.
