THE simplicity and practicability of this new
Plow commends it favorably to the special
notice of every farmer. It possesses a decided
superiority over all other plows now in nse. . The
wheels are four feet in diameter, and ran on the
nsplowed land. Its entire construction is in no
way complicated. i.ne plow is managed in every
manner with ease, and requires only two levers
to be used in making any alteration. The supe
riority of 4he "Gay" Plow wiU be clearljakoans
- We, the undersigned, citizens of Linn county.
Oregon, having purchased and used upon, our
farms the "Gay" Plow, hereby certify that the
same has given us entire satisfaction. Its facility
for adjusting to snit the depth of farrow without
moving from the seat, is simple and easy. We
like the plow for its draught, because the same is
brought to bear diraetly upon the plow-beam in
stead of the carriage ; also, because it is strong
ana auraoie, ail except ine wooo-worK oeing con
structed of wrought iron no cartings are used.
The wheels running upon the solid land is an ad
vantage over other gang-plows, in striking off
land and in ploying, not having to make the nec
essary changes m the machinery, and the seat is
always level, nt thr wing the driver forward or
sideways as in otner plows. .Better work and
more of it can he accomplished by the nse of this
Plow than by hand.
We take pleasure in recommending the "Gat'
Plow to our brother farmers, as one having no
superior in Oregon. . ;

Albany, September 19, 1868- y .
The Tribune's cable special ; says the
French reluctantly admit that they do not
occupy Saarbracken ; tbat tbey simply
hold position ; on the bights, on which
they, had erected batteries a week before
the attack. ; -
It U now well understood that Saar-
bruckea was never an ontpost, and so
loDgs tho'PrassisDs Oeoapy Saarlouis
13 not an important military position.
Dispatches from Frankfort say it is
generally believed the great battle will
be fought near Mayence. The number
of troops now massed between Mayence
and the front, is immense. Citizens of
Frankfort, who appeared hostile toward
the Prussians, now show lavish hospital
ity to the troops. If they do taot love
the Prussians, they at least deceive the
French. This war, instead j of taking
Frankfort from Prussia, has developed a
sincere attachment to the fatherland.
German officers believe the Prussians
will bring into the field a gun superior to
Napoleon's new artillery, and that France
will find her match.
Loudon, Aug. 5. Trustworthy re
ports of the battle of Saarbrucken say
the Prussians had only 6,000 men, while
the French had 30,000. j
Paris, Aug. 5. Gen. Don ay was

Weissberg. Total number of prisoners
taken by the Prussians, 800, including
18 officers. I
London, Aug. 5. -The report of the
capture of Saarlouis came via Paris, and
is unfounded.
The influence of the Empress Eugenie
to retain the French troops at Rome
failed. The last of the French detach
ments leave 'Home to-day.
Brest, Aug. 5. The North German
three-masted schooner Saare, was cap
tured by a French man-of-war to-day.
Paris, Aug. 6. The number of French
troops engaged before Weissbaden was
8,000. They had to contend with tbe
Prussian army corps, including picked
troops of the Guard. In spito of inferi
ority in numbers, the French resisted the
assault for several hours with admirable
heroism. The Prussian loss was so heavy
tbat they did not dare pursue..
At Saarbrucken we have ; broken tne
Prussian lines ; ours remains intact.
The Baden army yesterday passed tne
French frontier, advanced to Louterbourg,
established headquarters and seized some
boats. I
The French loss at Weirmercher was
three killed and one wounded. They
shelled St. Jean Station. j
La Liberie publishes a private dis
patch, dated midnight, from Strassburg,
reporting tbat Men. il cm anon neat tne

The Empress has issued a short procla
mation, saying that the opening of the
war is unfavorable to Frances Let us
hasten to repair reverses. Let there be
but one party, and that for France.
A special train left for the front, to
bring back the Prince Imperial 1
The defense of Paris is assured.
London, Aug. 7. A Herald dispatch

ers taken is announced at 8,000.
Metz, Aug. 7. Thionville has been
avacuated, and the Prussians have crossed
tbe Rhine from South Baden.
London, Aug. 7 4 P. M. Positive

The Prussians menace Metz.

The Times says the French are in a

The Prussians claim that they will
have 800,000 men within the theatre of
war by this evening.
The Paris Journal denies the loss, of

Tbe French disaster caused profound
terror in Rome. The Pope has asked
Eugenie for one ship to defend him from

Bismarck's Opinion of the Ameri
can Government. Lippincotfs . Mag
zinc has the following :
Bismarck himself publicly declared
his conviction that popular representation,
as exemplified in the United States, was
the only sure and permanent foundation
on which the governing system of a great
people could rest. It is a remarkable and
significant thing that Bismarck, who had
so long been regarded by Englishmen as
a living symbol of the most dogged and
uncompromising Toryism, should come
to receive as he did, the public and cor
dial thanks of . the English Beform
League (then the most radical organiza
tion in England, composed of men, who
regard John Brieht as slow and conserv-'
ativel for his fundamental principle bf
free government. I presume we may
take Bismarck's own word for It, that he
had learned his great lesson in the art ot
government, from the . teachings of the
American war; : The echo of Appomat
tox rolled along the Khine, Elbe, the
Spree and the Danube. r
The Merry Wives o Hamilton.
The White Pine News of the 14th says.
A party of our city matrons chartered
a coach vesterday, and packed it wit
themselves for a trip to Shermantown
and vieinitv : but we nave our own ideas
bout this. It looked very much" aa if
this lunch business was a "blind," and
that the expedition is of a political char
acter. Not a male oitisen, excepting the
driver, was in the crowd : and he looked
so chop-fallen, tnat be presented an un
mistakable appearance of petticoat sub
