Garfield, Delegate from Washington Territory, starts East soon, with tbe intention of participating in the canvass of Pennsyl vania and Ohio prior to the election this fall. He is one of the greatest orators on this continent, and will do much good there. , General Prospect. -As yet no sat isfactory and reliable information relative to the crops of tbe present season through out the United States can. be arrived at. Reports differ so -widely in this regard that no certain figures, at this time, can be given. The general conclusion beems to be, however, that throughout the great grain growing sections of the country, the yield will average with that of 'former years ; and that, with no for eign demand, prices would not materially differ from those of. last season. But judging from the accounts that reachms from Europe in regard to the crops there, there is likely to be a lively - foreign de mand for wheat. A partial failure of the great staple is reported there, and under the influence of that report wheat shows a steady upward tendency in New York. A steady improvement - is also noted in San Francisco wheat being twenty cents per cental higher than six weeks ago. This state of facts will not be likely to engender f'blues" among the agriculturists of Oregon. A few days since, the Ortgonian, fearing that the rise in wheat would be but temporary, regretted the low stage of water in the Willamette at present, which prevented our farmers' and dealers in the valley taking advantage ef it. Just such eases as this will arise, when the laok of trans portation facilities will be seen and felt throughout the valley, so long a we are entirely dependent on the Willamette iriver as an outlet to market. They ap peal directly to the pocket, thus pto d ocing the most convincing argttment ew be brought to bear upon: the most obtuse, in- favor of ftransportatbn facilities which are not affected' by dwrth or "mistf railroads. CTne present iw ertased demand for wheat may or may not be temporary further advices from Europe will be anxiously looked for, which wUl settle that matter but the fac thai just When we" need facilities of transportation most, they entirely fail us, is a matter that requires but limited understanding to perceive. . We have always been in favor of the construction . of a 'railroad or railroads through the Willamette valley, and? urged their ne cessity, bnt we are more convinced of the want ot such enterprises now than ever before, and we hope that before another season is upon us, such want may be supplied. Speed, the railroad. ItS MOV At OF THE NATIONAL CAP- ItAi. For some time past Eastern jour nals have been urging the necessity of a removal of the national Capital to a more central location, and by general consent 8U Louis (Mo.) seems to be 'nominated 'as the place for establishing the future Capital of this great country. In speak ing of the chances and urging the neces sity ef the removal, the St.. Louis Demo crat figures in this way : The Slates now represented in Congress which, by loca ton or natural alliance with the Missis sippi valley, may be expected to favor a removal of the Capital, number fourteen, giving twenty-eight Senators and one hundred - and thirteen Representatives. The New '.England States, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, North Carolina, .South Caro lina and Florida, may be expected to favor the present location, and they are represented by twenty-eight Senators and one hundred and seven members. Georgia, whose condition is in depute, and will be until its Legislature ceases to defy the Constitutionals an Atlantic State, but a considerable part of it is more closely allied in business and in terest with the interior of the South. West Virginia is on this side" of the mountains, and strictly bqlongs to the great valley, but its comparative prox imity to Washington may turn its vote the other way. With Georgia and West Virginia, the Atlantic vote, would be thirty-two Senators and one hundred and seventeen members. : Now it is not ex pected that the votes of all members will be governed by considerations of locality only. Some of those who come from States allied fro the valley may oppose a change at this time, while some others from the Atlantic State may with rea son believe that, as the . change is- inevit able, it had -better come before .more money has been expended at Washing ton. The fact that the mileage of Eastern members would be increased by removal ought not to be considered at all. But the intolerable annoyances and unendurable swindles of Washington the hotel charges, the boarding house charges, the rents,"the cost of living, the expense of maintaining that public nuisance called the District of Columbia, the bother of passing laws for it,- and the perpetual torment of having to take a day's journey whenever ' a member wishes to serve a constituent jit any of the departments these considerations are justly of weight with Eastern men as well as with Western. Very few people realize how heartily Washington city is hated by the nnlucky people who have been forced to submit to all its frauds and impositions. We reason, then, that the number off members from the Atlantic States who would favor a change will be greater- than those of the valley States who will oppose itr enough greater to turn the ' scale even in the present Congress, if the West should unite and present the matter seriously, and with energy and tact As to the transfer itself, that could be effected in one year as well as in twentyT ' It only needs more men, more ships and more energy.' The nation which has learned to build ten mile! of railroad in a day, can surely move a half .dozen stone buildings or as much of them as may be worth moving and put them op in decent . shape, without great delay. o . ; - Immigrant Aid Subscription. From the dalies we learn that subscrip tions in behalf of the Immigrant Aid Society, inaugurated in Portland, have been very liberal in that city, and sever al thousand dollars will be put into the treasury with which to commence opera tions at the meeting for the full organiza tion by the election of trustees, ect., this evening. Let other portions of the State respond with equal liberality to the de mands of the Society, to the end that the resources and inducements to immi gration from the older States to Oregon may be properly published throughout the land.'-' From Europe, Telegrams from Lon don to the 10th state that.

Politic. in Massachusetts.- The liquor question is making the political question in old Massachusetts lively, dividing the llepubhcan party and making Claflin's chanoo for re-election to the Governorship doubtful.
