At the Convention. We notice the natuo ot John Barrows, Esq., of Oregon, among the delegates at the Cap ital Convention, which convened at St. Louis, Missouri, on the 20th of October. As Mr. Barrows did not appear in the Convention until after an organization had been perfected, his name did not ap pear in the proceedings of the first day. We are under obligation to him for a copy of the St. Louis Democrat, Xthrough the politeness of Captain John Smith), containing a full report of the proceedings of the Convention. We should like to publish the entire pro ceedings, but as it would take some fif teen columns or more of our paper, we can't afford to spare the room. We pub lish the resolutions adopted by the Con vention in another place. TnE Railroad. From the best in formation we have been able to obtain, the new survey, after crossing the Cali pooia about one hundred yards above the old bridge, as stated last week, runs west to the neighborhood of Mr. John Hughes' farm, where it strikes a " bee line " for Ilarrisburg, running due south. The last heard from the surveyors they were camped about nine miles from this city, but in all probability will have reached 1JROWJ.SVILLE ITEMS. FROM OCB KEGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Brownsville, Nov. 13, 1869. We have just perused a late number of the Register, which fully satisfies us that if the present energy and tact is displayed in its management is fully car ried out, it will prove a valuable paper to the people of Linn county. ; ' We learn from Mr. Gordon Downey, who is just down from the Dalles, that work "on the U. S. Mint is suspended until Spring. Mr. Wm. Templeton, an old and es teemed citizen, has just returned to his pleasant home, after a somewhat pro tracted sojourn over in Washington Ter ritory, to look after the terminus of the Northern Railroad. He reports himself as well satisfied with his trip, and that he found some fine country yet open for settlement. Mr. Wm. Raird has just finished cov ering and enclosing the bridge at this place by the way, a No. 1 job. The bridge is 160 feet in length. The wolves have been committing dep redations among the sheep in this neigh borhood for same weeks past. Last Sat urday a large party of men and dogs scoured the country over till evening, and returned home hungry and weary, with nary a wolf. Being one of the number, I sensibly appreciate yet the hard ride and harder saddle. I under stand the parties are out again to-day ; but Mr. Wolf is too sharp to be rousted from his lair. By yesterday's -mail we received a copy of the Portland Eveiiiitg Commercial. It seems as though the city has just become aware that it was going over the river a fact that any disinterested person might have known many months ago. Port land proper has controlled every commer cial interest of Oregon so long, that she scemes to think a change is not at all probable. We give them credit for their success in keeping trade on its present site duriosr the minins excitement of other years ; but we very much doubt if J the same tact and policy will secure the i same results much longer. But we are ! like the lady was when her husband was fighting the bear we havn't much choice which whips. Mr. A. Wheeler has opened a new store on Main street, North Brownsville. j He does no credit business cash or pro duce is the only terms.

Vaughn, of Portland, came on Tuesday night. E. F. Russell, Esq., has becu absent from the city at Ilarrisburg during the week, attending to business there. j Col. J. R. Moores, President of the East Side Railroad Co., &nd Ben. Ilola day, arrived in this city on Thursday night last, and remained in town yester day. They are up on business connected with the location of the road through this county. Hons.

Besides a fine stock of dry goods, cloth ing, ladies' dress goods, etc., he has a fine stock of stoves, tin and tin-ware,etc, which he will dispose of very low, for cash or produce. Men that advertise liberally are the men to deal with. j High Water. On Thursday last the Santiam river was at flood tide. Much drift was being carried into the Willam ette river, which retarded the passage of the boats two hours between this point and Salem. j Boat Accident. The lit Jinnee met with an accident to her machinery, a jfew miles above Oregon City, on Wednesday, which compelled her to return to that point for repairs. j ... Hogs and Peacocks. Mr. Nimrod Price, Esq., received by Saturday's steamer a pair of peacocks and two pair of swine, the latter of the Essex brped. Ox a Snag. The Hcliance got a hole punched in her bottom the other d:iy up j the river, but the damage was slight and soon repaired. j j ... j j Sermon. An appropriate sermon was preached, by Rev. E. R. Geary, in j the Congregational church of this city, on Thursday. Bridge Wasued Away. Just be fore the present high water the railroad company had put up temporary works by which the railroad bridcre across I the Clackamas river could be raised. 1'art of the bridge was up and the timbers ready for the balance of the bridge, j In this.sta;;e of construction the high water Track Lated. The railroad track has been laid up to the saw-mill, a dis tance of eight and a half miles from Portland. Strike. Last Ionday the employ ees on the branch mint at Dalles refused to work, an order having been received reducing their wages from six to five dollars per day.

A Little Fight. We are informed that a scrimmage occurred at the Brook saloon, on First street, in this city,Thurs day morning about three o'clock, betneen one of our boys and a Brownsvillian ; and report has it that Brownsville won the " belt." Several panes of glass were the loss of the railroad budge. The damage by the flood will be repaired within fifteen or twenty days. j Our " Gordon."

The' accident occurred by the breakage of the ciauk on the large balance wheel. The piston being thus freed, struck against the head of the cylinder and busted it out. Fortunately no one was injured. From Harrisburo. We learn that on Saturday last, at Harrisburg, Wm. Earns was arrested for an attempt to cut loose a ferry boat; taken to Eugene; had a preliminary examination, and was bound over in S100 to answer. He gave bail. Over two hundred thousand pounds of porkhas already been packed at Ilarris burg about half the amount that will be put up there this season. j Trade generally is brisk, and every thing is moving. Bully for Ilarrisburg. " Ojus." Owing to the high waters, heavy rains, non-reception of tho mails, and that o'her fact that that " ojus mo nopoly," the ".Telegraph 'Company J" refuses to do a dispatch busines unless favored by the weather and much coin, the latest news received by us hadn't arrived up to the homr of going to press.

Our fellers should not be so impolite to strangers as to undertake to " put a head " on them when they come to sec us. Since writing the above we learn that our first information was incorrect. There were three parties arrested; the row occurred at. the City Brewery ; the parties were all from Brownsville; one of the parties was fined 810 and costs ; another. $5 and costs, and the third was discharged. The two parties fined " forked," and were discharged, which makes quite a little item. WILLIAM DAVIDSON, Office, Jiot CI Front Street, Adjoining tho Telegraph Office, Portland, Oregon.

Thursday opened in the good old fashioned etyle the rain fell in torrents orettv much all day.

He was standing holding his shot-gun with the butt resting near the edge of the porch, when a dog ran against it and knocked it off. It fell, hammer down, exploding the gun, the contents taking effect at the right elbow, ranging upward to the shoulder. The arm was amputated near the shoulder; but! the nervous shock to the system was so great that fears were entertained of a fatal result. L i Mrs. 41. B. Morford. Tho Oiego- nian, in speaking of this lady, saysl that all who knew her (and the editor has met several who have knowu her since child hood), unite in bearing testimony to the excellence and purity of her character. That paper only intended to state that the difficulty which resulted in the death of Judge Morford, was caused by jeal ousy on the part of tho Judge notj that there was any reason to doubt the purity of Mrs. Morford. Supposed Murder. The Orcgcnian of the ISth says: A correspondent at Monticello writes that " upon examina tion of the body of a man found dead on Sunday, and the surrounding premises, it is believed that he was murdered; in a school house near by and then dragged for concealment to the place where found. The body was found in the brush by the side of a small creek, the coat turned over-ihe head as if the body had jbeen dragged by it. The skull was crushed, as if a blow had been dealt with a heavy club, and such a club was found in the school house, where, also, blood; was found. Blood was found on a fence be tween the school house and the creek, and a trail plainly showed where the; body had been dragged along from the fence to the creek. It is supposed the man had entered the school house' to sleep, as passers-by sometimes do, the house being unused, and that while asleep the assassin entered and dealt the fatal blow foe pur poses of revenge or robbery. Nothing was found upon the person to indicate who the man was or where from.) No innuest was held, but the people of the neighborhood gave the remains decent burial. - v . - . i J Specials say Minister Washburne has recovered from a severe spell of sickness, and is now attending to bis duties HOGS WANTED!
