k Robberies, have become so common in
Portlaud that they create no excitement.
Highwaymen fearlessly stop parties poing
: to and from the White House (only six
. miles from Portland), and make them
"shell out" with impunity, in some cases
shooting them just to get their hands in.
Portland is a fast city. ,
The recent steamboat race between the
Lte and JVafchez, bctweu New Orleans
and Cairo, created intense excitement
throughout the Mississippi valley. , The
Lee won the - race in the unprecedented
time of three days and One hour, the
JVahhZ-z coming one hcur and twelve min
utes behind, having lost thirty six minu
ntes by breaking a pump. ; Considering
the-rapid current of the Father of Waters,
this performance is wonderful.
The English prss is pleasing itself with
the fancy that the English national debt
isn't such a great bugbear after all that's
been said about it. At the winding up
of 1869, it amounted to 53,741,380,915,
or a billion and a quarter more than our
own.- But what tickles the J&hn Balls,
. i the fact that in thirteen.years the pub
lic debt has been reduced $350,000,000
something less than 827,000,000 a
year, about as much as - we are paying in
two and a half months !
Land, and Immigration Scheme. '
The San Francisco Bulletin of July
13th, gives some particulars of a vast
land and immigration scheme, recently
entered into between prominent capital
ists of that city, in connection with cap
italists in Frankfort and Amsterdam, the
Hague and London, which, if carried
out, will doubtless prove emineutly bene
ficial to Oregon. These capitalists have
formed an association for the purpose of
buying all the lands included in the grant
to the Oregon & California Railroad
(Holladay's), say 4,759,800 acres, and
the Oregon branch of the Central Pacif
ic Railroad, covering probably 3,000,000
acres more, making a grand total of more
than 7,000,000 acres. These lands are
of excellent quality, and being located
along the line of the railroad, will be ac
cessible to settlers'. The purchase amounts
to about 510,000,000, and will at once
furnish ready money to those engaged in I
building the road. As'the bulk of. the
lands thus purchased will be resold at
from S3 to 85 per acre, the parties invest
ing will make a round profit. But the
most important feature of the above in
dicated transaction ii, that it involves a
plan for bringing a large number of im
migrants from Europe. For this reason
connections with influential houses in the
cities above named were formed, who will
be ablo to send out a large number of the
most desirable settlers, by the offer of
cheap lands and employment at fair wa
ges. Although this is one of thu largest
immigration schemes yet devised, it
seems to be a very feasible one. It in
volves a land speculation, but upon con
ditions which take away the strongest
objections. The parties investing in these
wild lands undoubtedly do so for the
purpose of making money; but they buy
merely to turn the, lands over to indus
trious settlers who, in becoming pur
chasers, aid in the construction of a rail
road, which in turn will add to the val
ue of their lands more than seven fold
If the plan is judiciously carried out,the
BnJletin thinks that more than 100,000
immigrants will be speedily furnished
with farms along the line of this railmad.
The Oregonian says that further inform
ation regarding this huge-enterprise will
soon be made public, and thinks it is not
a visionary

France has declared war jgainst Prus
sia. Following is the substance of the
great mass .of dispatches that have been
flashed across the cables during I the
Week;;'V rXH-i
MATTERS IN GERMANY. : j
Napoleon has caused all Germany: in
cluding the southern States, as the dis
patches say, to rally as one people and
offer to resent war by France upon" the
Fdderland. These States include the
kingdoms of Bavaria and Wurtembnrg
and the Grand Duchy of Baden. With
these, great States to sustain him,' the
king of Prussia need, fear, no power in
Europe. ' ".-
. There are rumors that Prussia has al
ready invaded France with immense
forces (but they are not reliable), to at
tack the fortified town'of Melz. A battle
is spoken of in which 3000 Prussians and
2000 French were "killed and wounded.
but the report needs confirmation. The
Bavarian army has been ordered to take
the held. J. he Crown-Prince, Jbredericfc
of Prussia, will command the armies of
the States of south Germany. . -
A .London dispatch from Berlin, says
that south German States, responding to
Prussia's notice ot a declaration of war.
are enthusiastic in support of Fader lurid
Political differences are obliterated by
the aggressions of France. Columns of
Prussian troops are moving in the direc
tion of the Rhine and the north coast
WAR MATTERS IN FRANCE.
The Republican journals and leaders
denounce the war, but the people are en
thusiastic for it. It is necessary for tho
police to protect the residences of those
who oppose it. The French forces on the
frontier are estimated at 130,000. The
Freneh army is concentrating at Metz.'
The French gunboat Flotilla is on the
Rhine, and the fleet will bombard Prus
sian ports. The Freneh fleet is watching
the English fleet in the channel, ready to
attack if ordered. 1 he report ot the bat
tle above alluded to, comes from French
sources. This is the minjrled mass of
dispatches we receive from France.
I t is said France will attack with a re
volving rifled cannon, throwing 40 shots
a minute. France distrusts Belgian neu
trality, as' the generals in command of
the armies of the Belgians are known to
be unfriendly to Franca.
The latest dispatches Irorn Paris state
that at noon on the 16th, French troops
occupied Saarbruck, Newbern and Lau
dan. These places are in a s-mall'divis-
ion of Bavaria which borders France, and
east of the Rhine. Their occupation and
invasion proves that the south German
States have taken sides with Prussia.
, BELGIUM AND HOLLAND.
These States are as yet. neutral, the
former having placed her armies ou a war
footing. England stipulates that they
shall not be oceupied by France, and the
London r'ost says "any violation ot Bel
ian territory ends England's neutrality-"
RUSSIA, AUSTRIA lAXD ITALY.
1 Austria has professed neutrality. Prus
sia, the French claim, has offered her a
province for her friendly alliance. Rus
sia is supposed to be in full accord with
Prussia, but proftsses neutrality, yet has
an immense army on her Austrian front
ier, ready to invade that country.if she
marches against Prussia, or takes sides
with France. . :
Italy professes neutrality, and it is also
repot ted that she has offered unconditional
support. She will probably remain neu
tral.
The advices from Rome state that
great excitement prevails, aud liberal up
rising is expected.
OTHER FQWER3-'
England sympathises with Prussia, and
her fleets watch the channel, while her
journals assail Napoleon. . She professes
neutrality, and insists that iNapoieon snail
not invade Belgium, without which it
will be- almost - impossible to attack
Prussia.
Spain is said to profess neutrality,
co mark is said to be neutral, and agaio
faid to offer to joiu France. Switzerland
will maintain armed neutrality, oweaen
is neutral.
