X itchell, in the city of. Portland, on Wednesday, the 19th day of January,' 1S70, at 10 o'clock A. M., to desig nate the time and place fur the holding of the Union Republican State Convention of 1870. M. P. BERRY, Chairman. Salex, December 14,1869. Columbia River and Great Salt Lake Railway. ; Stanton, Judge. Upon tne appointment of Edwin M. Stanton to the Supreme Bench in plaee of Justice Grier, '' resigned, he Stale Rights Democrat gets off one of its characteristic diatribes upon tbe occasion, in which the following language occurs : 'IDuplicity, treachery,; perjury and cruelty were in his service and waited upon his call. To promote him is to pollute the judicial ermine, to defile the seat of justice, and to bring into disre pute the highest judicial tribunal upon the earth." Such fitful dartings of the serpent's tongue hut indicate the rankling venom -which still pervades the hearts and friends of the defeated rebellion, and who are instinctively ready to shoot out the forked tongue and hiss most dreadfully whenever ne of its sworn enemies, a true patriot, looms up into conspicuous position. But what has Mr. Stanton done to merit such bitter . invective t True, as the head of the War Department, he hurled hot thunderbolts against the monster both day and night for four long years, and as a consequence many of the editor's po litical friends were made to bite the dust, and-the rest were driven to confusion. Loving his country more than he did the Democratic party, he did what he could 1 to make treason odious. This is the sum of his offending. What can the Demo crat expect to accomplish by such bitter calumniation ? The appointment is made and confirmed, and the nation well ap proves it. It gnaws a file. It may suc ceed, to the extent of its influence among its partisans, in weakening still farther any latent love they may yet cherish for public virtue or respect for the constitu . tional authorities of our country. This and nothing more. The fame of Edwin M. Stanton is far beyond the reach of his traducers, and his name will continue to be cherished in every patriotic heart dur ing the coming ages, long, long, after the memory of those who would malign him have rotted into oblivion. Cost 'of the Pacific Railroad. The Paciac Railroad cost the uovern mcnt, in lands and bonds, the sum of J101?752,0OO. The Central Company constructed 690 miles, and received, or are to receive, a total, in bonds and Sub sidy, S2G,364,000 The Union Pacific has constructed 1,068 miles, the total subsidy and bonds for which amount to f 56,740,000. The value of the land subsidies, granted to the two companies are estimated at $52,141,000. It is gen erally believed that the Companies build ing the road are not out a single dollar, beyond what was given by the govern ment, and hence they are possessed of an immense property which cost them nothing .but a few yearsSof time and attentidn. " Senator Williams introduced a bill in the U. S. Senate on the 6th ult., a copy of which has been forwarded us, granting lands and right of way to aid in tbe construction of a railway and telegraph line from the Columbia river to Great Salt Lake. The following persons are named as corporators : D. W. Ballard, L. F. Cartee, J. Rey nolds, J. R. McBride, II. L. Riggs, 1). Cram, B. 31. DuRell, John Uailey,T. J. Butler, T. S. Wilson, W. D.

J. be road -is to-commence at some point "on the Columbia river east of the Cascade mountains, and, running thence through Idaho, to terminate at some point on the Union or Central Pacific Railroads, near Great Salt Lake. The capital stock authorized is 530,000,000, divided into 300,000 shares of 100 each. Th first meeting of the corpora tors, who form a board of Commission ers, will transpire at Baker City, Oregon, September 1st, .1870. Subscription books must be opened within six months after the passage of the act. As soon as ten thousand shares are taken in good faith, and five per cent, of the stock paid into the treasury of the Company, a Board of Directors can be organized. The right to use material from the pub lic land for the construction of the road is given, as well as the right of way. Twenty sections per mile on each side of the road, in alternate sections (except mineral lands), constitute the land sub sidy. If the lands adjacent to the road have been previously disposed of, the company may select other lands, within thirty miles, on either side of the road. Sections of twenty miles of the road must be completed, stocked and received in the usual form, before patents for land will issue. Work must commence within two years from the approval of tbe act by the President to secure the benefits granted by the bill, and twenty miles per year completed after the second year; and the entire road must be completed, equipped and furnished by the 4th day of July, 1878. The road when com pleted is to be subject to the use of the United States for postal, military, naval and other Government service." It is thought the bill will pass both Houses and become a law during the present session of Congress. ; Poqressiso. There are said to be 15,000 miles or railroad now in progress of construction in the United States, and in a short time the list will be swelled to 50,000. . This, at an average cost of $44,000 per1 mil?, would make the capital ' invested in railroads, in this country I alone i $2,400,000,000. England owns 15,000 miles of 'railwayi which' cost an average pf $160,000 per mile a total of $2,400,000,000. It is stated, too, that our railways earned twice as much as the same number of miles on the English railways.";,,,? -'. V-:-:-.',.. t: Not Dead. The Roseburg nsujrn ays that Capt.

The news of the death of this great and good man, so sudden and unexpected, has thrilled tbe nation with genuine sor row. He leaves a fame and name on the pages of his country's history that will ever be revered and loved so long as pat riotism and love of country is counted of worth by Americans. ' Prof. Reinsch, of Boston, after a long series of experiments, has discovered tnat timber impregnated with a concen trated solution of rock salt, will not burst into a flame any more than if coated with silicate of Soda.

Salem, Dec. 29th, 1869. Considering that we are in the midst of the Holidays, we are having very quiet times, excepting what amusements we have in the evening, the doings at the capital are not any more stiring than usual. OCR MERCHANTS Are busy with balancing up old ao- counts, taking account ot stocK ana making preparations for the business of 1870. The Peoples Transportation Co. have moved their office . from the Hol man biick to the McCully brick, two blocks down Commercial street. ; The Pioneer Oil Company have moved their office and ware room to the place form erly occupied by John Hughes, directly under the Secretary of State's , office. No other changes of base have been made among our business men. THE RAILROAD Is attracting much attention just now. Quite a number of our citizens have gone down to Oregon City to-day to ride on the cars as invited guests', j The track is said to be in good condition for a new road. The propheoy is now made that the track will be lai4 to .this city by July 4th next, and to Linn county by the time harvest is over. I understood to day that Mr. McClain, proprietor of North Salem, had offered the Company thirty acres of land if they would establish the depot in North Salem. It is rumored here that Uncle Jesse Apple gate and Chief Engineer Brooks, of the Oregon Central Railroad, had quite quarrel in Portland recently. Their opinions of the feasibility of the Rock Creek pass over the Calapooia mountains differs materially, and Mr. Applegate has gone home to make the survey of the route himself at his own expense. other i,ocai.

An alarm of fire brought out the de partment promptly at two o cloct on Sunday last. The fire was caused by package of phosphorous igniting in a warehouse back of the drug store. The fire was put out before the engines threw water. Too much praise cannot be be stowed upon our firemen for tbe prompt manner they turn out to save property. REVIVALS. There is a series of very interesting meetings being held in the Baptist church in this city. Two services per day are being held, and many are uniting with that church. , Another revival has been in progress at the South Salem M. E. Church ; but I understand that daily services have been discontinued. BRICK.

A railroad meeting will be held at the Court House in this city n Monday evening, January 3d, 1870. v As busi ness of the greatest importance, affecting the material interests and prosperity of this city, will come before the meeting, all who are interested in the future of Albany are earnestly invited to attend.

On Sunday, his fifty-fourth birth-day, he was visited by Grant and Colfax, when the former tendered him the position of Justice of the bupreme Court, which was accepted. Yesterday he complained of sickness, and before midnight the symptoms became alarming.. It was found impossible to obtain relier. Kev. Dr. Starkey, ot the tbe dying man was unconscious. He died at 3 a. m., surrounded by his family consisting ot Mrs. btanton and lour children. Cincinnati, Vec. 7. There was a terrible family quarrel in Westwood last evening, resulting, in tbe fatal wounding of a wife and the self-destruction of the husband, Cordelia Wilder and John R. Wilder, known in Western cities as fur nishers of houses of prostitution. Their family consisted of twelve children The oldest daughter was about a year ago married to an attorney in opposition to the wishes ot the lather and in accord ance with the wishes of the mother. The quarrel grew out of this circumstance, and Wilder first cut his wile s throat and then shot himself. NEtv York, Dec. 28. The Sun this morning says an American Annexation Leaguo has recentiy been formed in this ciiy with the avowed purpose of procur ing by persuasion or force tbe annexation to the United States of all the countries and provinces of North America, and all the islands along tho coast. Their motto is that the national safety ot the United States demands the acquisition of all JNorth America and tne V est India islands. Prominent citizens are members of the league. The officers are the fol lowing well known men : Colonel George Gibbous, President: General George A. Cole, Secretary ; General James E. Kerr, financial Secretary; General James B Volt, Treasurer. The organization is preparing an expedition for active par ticipation in the hostilities going on in the ILed Kiver country against the rep resentatives ot the Canadian Govern ment. The expedition is to consist of 1,500 men, of whom 800 have already been enrolled. Twenty-five guides have been hired who are familiar with the Red River country, and who will con duct the troops from the last railroad sta tion across the border line. Fifteen hun dred Spencer rifles have been stored away ready for use. Ammunition and other supplies are also at hand, and no further great expense is anticipated. A prominent railroad man is a member of the league and lias promised the troops free transit to within 200 miles of the i border line. From this point to the place of operations, the filibusters will make their way by forced marches. They will depart from New York ip squads of trom one to two hundred as ouietly as Declared Independent. The dec laration of independence by the Provis ional Government of Rupert's Land and the Northwestern Territory, has been issued. It is signed by John Bruce, President, and Louis Raille, Secretary. Rupert's Land has heretofore been gov erned by a party of adventurers known as the Hudson Bay Company ; but this government failing to meet the wants of the people, they (the people) have con cluded to run a government of their own. The Financial Views of Congress. -The St. Louis Democrat of Dec. 14th, has the following dispatch, dated Wash ington, Dec. 10th : The first week 'of Congress ends with little indication of the financial views of its members. Senator Sumner has in troduced a bill for free banking, with a clause limiting -the increase of currency to fifty millions per year. Mr. Morrell, of Pennsylvania, has introduced one for free -banking and anew, loan at four and a half per ,,cent.; and Mr. Ingersoll, of Illinois, has brought in bills of free bank ing, to prevent the sale of Government gold, and to authorize the issue of forty four millions more in legal tender notes. None of these bills have been considered in committee," and it is doubtful if-any of them will be until after the holidays. The idea of a free' banking system has many supporters in both houses of Con gress, and at present the indications are that Secretary Boutwell's recommenda tion for contraction at the rate of two millions per month will not find many supporters; ' The demand from the South for money appears to be very strong. The . agent - of .a prominent South American Republic, whose business in this conntry was - to " purchase gunboats, has been swindled out of .a million dol lars by a pretended ship broker in New York city. .

It says : " The opinion seems to be gaining strength that the Pacific Railroad is working a great change in tbe climate of tho Plains. Instead of continuous drouths, all along the railroad rain now falls in refreshing abundance. This result has been re marked up in other sections of the West. In central Ohio, fori example, it is said the climate has been completely revolu tionized since iron rails have formed a net work all over that region. Instead of the destructive drouths formerly suf fered there, for some four or five years there has be'en rain in abundance even more than enough to satisfy all the wants of the farmers. The theory upon which these facts are accounted for is that the iron rails, which touch each other, act as conductors of electricity, tho great agent - in tbe production of climatic changes. The currents being equalized and more uniform in strength, of course, the sections affected, will have more uniform rains and fewer electric outbursts, or thunder storms. . . ; NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
