It is generally conceded that the principal of tbe school during tbe year just expired, Mr. Thos. G.

We are glad to hear that Mr. Taylor intends remaining in the school, as we know that the directors would be puzzled to secure bis equal as a teacher.

The Chair having announced that the business of tbe meeting was to select ten delegates to represent tbe pprecinct in the County Convention, (which assembler! to-day) to nominate candidates for county offices, Mr. Jones Waterloo Precinct Convention.- We found the proceedings of the Water loo Republican Precinct Convention on our desk last week some hours after the Register for the week had been mailed. How tbey came, or who handed them in, we are at present unable to answer. We are sorry that we did not get them so that wo could have published them last week. As it is we will give the gist of the proceedings. The Convention met at 2 o'clock P, M-, and organized by the election of Isaao B. Courtnay, Chairman, and John A. Ambler, Secretary. Messrs. Sylvester R. Clark and Joel Vail were elected del egates to the County Convention. The following-resolution was then offered, and, after an eloquent speech from Rev. Thomas S. Kendall, was unanimously passed : . .. Resolved, That tbe administration of President Grant has fully met the antic ipations of his friends who placed him in the official position he now holds and so justly honors. A : Precinct Committee was elected, Messrs. Chas. Williams. G. W. Klum aud J. A. Ambler, being tbe gentlemen chosen. V' i- T , ?: . , New Goods. We omitted to men tion the faet, last week, that Messrs. R. Cheadle & Co. bad received a fresh lot of goods, and that the last ocean steamer brought them still another lot. This bouse receives goods by almost every steamer, and, thus their stock never runs down, but is constantly kept full and complete. Their goods are , tho very best, and their prices the most reasona able, besides tbey are the most accommo dating gentlemen in tbe trade. for tbe offices ot Sheriff and County Clerk. This resolution met with the most violent opposition, and a large por tion of the afternoon was taken up in denouncing, on tbe one hand, and sup porting on the other, this innovation of the time-honored and cherished customs of the Democratic party. Several amend ments were offered and lost, but an amendment or substitute offered by A N. Arnold, and accepted bv Mr. Jones, was at length passed, which provided that the election should be by ballot, and that each voter should write upon the back of his ballot his choice for Sheriff and Clerk. A large maiority of the Democratic voters of the precinct were in attendance and much feeling prevailed. Following is the result of the balloting : Of tbe two candidates for Sheriff,, Jos. Nixon obtained 67, and BobJ Irvine, present incumbent, 164 votes majoritj for Irvine, 97. For County Clerk Fred. Hill 80, and John Hackleman 91 majority for Hackleman, H. Richard Powers and Isaac Hayes were nominated as J ustices of the Peace for Albany pre- c'net, and Jas. Sperry and Geo. Master son as Constables. The delegates elect to the County Convention are : E. Knox, J. McUee, John Davis, O'ney If rye, V M. Cook, L. Cox, A. W. Stanard, A f arker, J. Liayton, C. Westlake. New Stock. Ed. Freeland, at the Post-Office book store, is in receipt of new books, letter and cap papers, etc., wbicb fill up his shelves, make a nea appearance, and enables him to better fill all orders in his line. .

George- ia on it, square-toed, when it comes to the drug business. Tit pot Tat. A Democrat informs us that, as the Benton county delegation threw off on the Linri county candidate for the State Printersbip, and thus aided in bis defeat, tbe Linn county ' importa tions " will be withdrawn, and thus leave Benton county in tbe hands of tbe Re publicans. V All we can say is, tbey de serve, it they should have stood by their frier.de. : -. - . ' '"' ' The Countrt for Poor Men. Ore gon is the poor man's paradise. Her soil is the richest in the world, producing fabulous crops with little labor. Her timber is unequalled, and as a stock rais ing country she cannot be approached Until very lately Oregon has labored un der the disadvantage of facilities for transportation, except in the immediate vicinity of her navigable streams. The railroad now in course of construction on the east side of the Willamette, and the contemplated road on the west side, will soon place all points of the State in close communion, affording facilities for the rapid transportation -of produce, which will accelerate ail branches of industry, bring an increase of pjpulation, and soon double and treble the price of real estate. At present real estate is offered at figures and on terms at which a poor man can buy and build up a comfortable home. The time to secure a home is the present. This golden opportunity is rapidly vanishing, and it will soon be too late to take ad vantage of it. But we started out to re late a cord wood story, just related to us by a gentleman of veracity, that illus trates the cheapness and ease with which a poor man may become possessed of rich lands in this neighborhood. A gen tleman living in this city sold a tract of thirty-six acres, lying a mile or two from this city, for seventy-five cords of wood, to be delivered. One fir tree on the land made thirty-four cords, or nearly half the total amount to be paid for the land. After cutting the 75 eords, it is esti mated that there is left tinibef standing for over 500 cords of wood, besides 100, 000 feet of lumber. Thus, after paying for the land, the owner has left $450 worth of wood and lumber, and 36 acres of rich land, wbicb, in a few years, will command a good price. And there are many such chances for poor men in Linn county, who have the will and energy, to hew out for tbemslves and families a good home, even if they have not one dollar when they arrive here. A man possessed of ability and industry will have no trouble, with proper manage ment, in acquiring a competence in Ore gon ia a very brief space. Oregon needs muscle and energy to develop her vast resources, and men of this stamp will meet a cordial welcome on their arrival here. - The New Army Bill. The new army bill now under consideration re duces the army to 20,000. It abolishes the offices of General and Lieut. General, when vacated by tbe present incumbents, and reduces the number of Major Gen erals to three, and Brigadier Generals to six, when the present incumbents vacate. In reducing the army, the President is authorized to discharge any officer apply ing for such discharge before September. Officers having served ten years are to receive two years extra pay and allow ance ; those having served five, and less than ten years, are to receive one and a half year's , pay, and those who have served less than five years, one year's pay. it autnorizes mm to retire, on tneir application, any officer who may have served thirty years, and allows tbe re tired list to be increased to three hun dred. The enlisted men, which now number 32,000, it is expected will be re duced to 25,000 by the first of Septem ber, reducing tbe expenses of tbe army several millions. Ihe House bill, as partiajly adopted, it is believed, increased instead of lessened the expense of the army, by several thousand dollars. For the Register. Sabbatb on tbe Pacific. Point of Jdnction.- The bill called up by Howard, on the 25th inst., and passed, fixes the point of junction for the Union and Central Pacific railroads north of the principal meridian and base line in tho Territory of Utah, section 36, township 7, range 2. It gives the com-. pany 6 additional sections, one section in each township being reserved for. tbe benefit of schools , in Utah, and these lands are to be paid for at the regular Government price, $2 50 per acre. The rights of private persons are not to be effected by this act. The Traveler's Guide Is tbe title of a new weekly, published at Portland, by Messrs.

How from tbe innermost depths of memory well up the deepest feelings of my soul as I reflected upon tbe vastness of this great, illimitable old ocean, whose snow-capped billows roll and radiate in the beautiful sunshine, just as tbey have ever done in days like this since first tbe morning stars sang together and all tbe sons of God shouted for joy. Off in the east rises the dark-browed coast, shutting off the surging billows from the quiet dales in the dim distance where are nestled our quiet homes, and where live our darlings and Jur all of earth. Look to theorth-, abd south, and west. Nothing ia visible but tbe vast waste of dark bluo and white-capped waters, now lashed into fury by the track of our steamer, and now subsiding into placid ripples, upon which flocks of Eea-gulls light and ride with all the grace of fairies. But I did not imagine I should write like this when I began to scribble ; and I must arouse myself from tbe reverie to tell you something of our journey. I left home on tbe 8th inst., and, go ing aboard the Reliance, found myself for the first time in my existence as a traveler, without the company of a single acquaintance, except the captain. Noth ing of interest transpired until we reached Canemab. The steamer was loaded with grain to the water's edge, and a strong breeze was blowing up stream, there fore the captain refused to land me at Canemah, and I bad the doubtful pleasure of walking back from the Basin and lugging a basket over tbe old mule track, to my sister's residence, ordinarily a walk of a mile, but in my exhausted physical condition an interminable dis tance. I felt like doing a little scolding on my own account ; but concluded to ask you to get tbe Mercury after the P. T. Company, and say no more about it myself. How convenient to always have somebody ready to fight one's battles ! Took dinner at the Cliff House a very good house by the way. Itn old proprietor succumbed to circumstances and whisky some time since, and Mr. Wm. Barlow and wife now run the " in- . . i stitution. ' Thirty-two imported voters were quartered there recently by one of the factory managers, who agreed to give them work and board until after election tbey, of course, agreeing to go "Dem ocratic straight." Their employers tried it a week, and then notified the landlord that he could not longer remain responsi ble for their board. Some person bad told the poor man that bis voters were " selling" him, and he settled the bills, complaining that the rascals bad already cost him $250. Said " rascals " left tbe hotel and went to work on tbe railroad. They will vote, for whoever gives them the most whisky on election day. A pretty muddle you poor men do make of politics. Roll on thou deep and dark bine ocean, roll I" There 1 I teel as famous now as did the California legislator who made a speech.

Bat it does not take long to become acquainted on board a vessel. We are having a : pleasant trip. Of course we were delightfully sea sick on the first day after reaching the bar; bat all are better now, and having, much to the chagrin of our important darkey, secured the smoking room on deck as a eabin for both , ladies and gentlemen, (said darkey having pompously asserted that tbe ladies have no business here), wo are warm and comfortable, social, and no longer solitary. One ia astonished at the meager accommodations which are of fereded at $12 per day on this North Pacific line ; no fire in the saloon, state rooms smaller than closets, insolent wait ers everywhere. But we are rapidly approaching the bar. Can already see the outlines of tbe famous Golden Gate. March 14th. Arrived at tbe wharf at half-past nine last nicht.

Mrs. D. "Mark Twain" Married and Set tled. By the last mail we received a delicate nink envelone eontainioe still more delicate carda tr a tall more du cate pink, one bearing the words' "Mr. and Mrs. S. L.

And Mark bas prospered finan cially, for bis book yields him a band some income, ard his lecturing receipt should make any ordinary mortal happy. It seems Mark s latner-in-law played an elaborate practical joke on him on the night of the wedding. . The bridegroom, being busy with bis lectures, and not finding a bouse for sale that suited his- purse and taste, instructed Mr. Langdon's- agent in Buffalo to secure him rooms and board in some nice family, wbeie there would be but a few other boarders ; end though the commission was executed, Mark could not learn the name of tbe family or the street where they lived; and he privately determined to caution his father-in-law, as soon as admitted to to the family, against continuing such a stupid agent in the management of bis business. Finally, a dozen particular friends escorted the bridal party from Elmira to Buffalo, in a palace car, end on arriving proposed to call on tbe newly married pair in the morning. By some more stupidity on the part of the agent, tho bride and groom were tbe last t leave the car, on account of the carriages being blocked in, and when Mark reached his "boarding house," be found all hie friends awaiting bim in a splendid man sion, ($40,000) elegantly furnished, sta- Die, norses, . coaen, liveries ior servants, check oa the bank for a handsome) amount and alt a present from the father-in-law. He said it only needed s dron rnrtain and a nrnmnlar tn tlae the characters in position to make it seem like a scene in a sensation drama. In his letter be says : "I have read these absurd fairy tales, in my time, buff I. never, never, never, expected to be tne bero of a romance in real life as unlookedl for and unexpected as the wildest of them." In the postscript to his letter he- says : 'in tne good old tasnionea wry tale, the hero would' infallibly hap pen to notice an opal bued mother of pear box on tbe centre table, and would Leedlessly open it and find in it a deed for all the newly acquired property. Bnt bless you, I never bad any experience: in playing hero in- a tale, ana so n mat ter who shoved that box toward me, or hinted darkly at its contents, my calm. unruffled stupidity was victorious every time, and at last tbey bad to- shove the- box under my nose in the most nnrc mantio way, and open it and display the- deed and - insurance papers. All hand laughed at and abused me, but I told them it was all so new to me taekle me again with another house, and see bow I would sail through my part. ' The cheer on the bank, accompanying tbe gift, wssv not necessary, tor my book and lecturing; keep me equal to minor emergencies r Aha. A Model Husband. The New York Herald, 4th instant, tells tbe following S An extrordinary instance of compli cated matrimonial relations, occurring at Dobbs' Ferry, on the Hudson, appeared in the Herald a few days since, in, abieik, were portrayed facts in relation to a woman, who after obtaining a separation from ber husband married his assistant, while the former bead of tho bouse con- outrageous disregard of the marriage ob ligation, coupled with tne lndiflerenco shown by a husband and father to tha wife of his bosom and the mother of bis children, bas bad a fitting termination' one in full accord with the, perhaps, un precedented strides in this instance made) toward the hideous goal of "free love." . It will be remembered that the woman (who is the wife of a blacksmith,) after obtaining what purported to be a separa tion from her husband, proceeded with, her new "affinity" to tbe residence of clergyman in the village above mentioned, and was then and there united ia matri mony with the employe of her husbaad, . and that the latter offered no objection, but remained in the family as a boarder.
