V. S. Official Paper for Oregon.
SATURDAY, AUGUST 13, 1870.
War News. The news from the two
great cations of Europe now at war, daily
increases in interest. Prussia, by her
unparalleled energy, shows that she has
no superior aruong the great cations of
the earth. In the space of two weeks
rhc has Calk-d a million of men to arms,
equipped them, and sent 800,000 sol
diers into France in one body a feat
that was ueTer before accomplished by
any tuition on earth. She hurls this
immense body of troops upon th French
lines, greatly to the surprise and terror
of the latter, and the valient French sol
diers, commanded by such renowned
warriors as Gen. McMahon, are crushed
and destroyed. Everywhere, so far, the
Prussians have bceu victorious. Ia the
meantime Paris, the head-center of
France, is in great . tribulation. The
French are furious at the. news that the
''Dutciirueii" are whipping the French on
their own grounds, and lay their eternal
disgrace to the want of capacity in their
Emperor, Napoleon. It is believed in
Paris that the rule of .the Bonapartes is
over that tho scepter will go into other,
aud it may be hoped, better hands. We
can sec but oiie hope for Napoleon
ehould he Oht at Melz and win, ho
would probably again bo the the idol of
French people ; and so long as the French
irruv was victorious, so long would con
tinue his popularity. Should he risk a
trreat battle and be defeated, he will be
forced from the throre of France.
VARIOUS ITEMS.
Fires are raging ia the Blue Moun
tains, and Grand Ronde valley is encir
cled by a ring of fire.
Goose Lake is said to contain a popu
lation of over 300 souls.
A leading Democratic journal suggests
tho name of Hendricks, of ludiana, and
John Quincy Ad3trs, of Massachusetts,
as a strong Democratic Presidential
team.
A little son of Jas. Uarris, at King's
valley, aged two years, one day last week
was thrown backward into a vessel of hot
water, and so badly scalded that he died
less than two days thereafter, says the
Corvalls Mercury.
A two-story brick is to bo built in
Walla Walla for hotel purposes. A wool
en ruill is to be erected in the valley
New from Exchanges.
The Chicago Republican takts this
view of the war :
"The "aggressive policy of Prussia" bo
much harped on by the Democratic press
of this country, consists in efforts to put
stop to French invasions by, establish
ing the unity of Germany. It ia the same
kind of "aggression" committed by the
lamb in the drinking out of the stream
below the wolf, who was accused of mud
dying the water. The lamb was net able
to see how the dirty water could run up
stream, and was at once "invaded" for
bis Isci of knowledge of French hydro
statics. "Prussian aggression" consists in the
people oi that country mindir?g their own
business, and lcttias France alone. Hut
Napoleon sets up in justification that
Prussia may get powerful enough to be
come aggressive, and if it does not, will
et least prevent France from committing
agressions upon it, which is not to be
thought of, and is good ground for ffar.
Uniting Germany into a great, compact
cation, is where the "aggression" makes
its appearance. The Prussian lamb must
not drink from the Rhine, for fear it vi ill
muddy the wolf s water on the Seine.
That is the Bouaparte logic
In a slate of peace the South German
countries have an independent existence,
bat during war they become practically a
part of the Prussian Power. War, then,
effectively joins South Germany to the
North German Union. And thi6 is the
reaton why war may be regarded without
displeasure at Berlin ; for when war has
once added these South German States
to Prussia we may trust Bismarck that
they will never be free again.
A native of Rhinish Prussia writes to
M. Garnier de Cassagnac that the Ger
man people on the left bank of tho Rhine
do sot desire annexation to France, and
that "before conquering that section the
French must destroy the armies and peo
ple of the German Confederation a
rather difficult matter." M.de Cassagnac
replies that there is a chance of only two
alternatives "either France will go to
the Rhine,, or Prussia will go to the
Pyrenees,','
'From Geo. V. Rowell & Co., No. 40,

On the other hand the Republican

"What will the Ceotral Committee of
the Democracy of New York do, and will

tinder which it is, puts in a dilemma on
this question. The Fenians, all-powerful
in New York, - .have declared their
sympathies for the French. If Tammany
Half will agree with them, it will offend
the whole German - Democracy. Would

Since Grant's inauguration the revo
nue receipts have increased 32,000,000,
and the customs S19,000,000 ; the Gov

850,000,000, and the public debt reduced
8146,000,000, while taxation has been
reduced 830,000,000. Surely the Re

According to the estimates of the Ag
ricultural Department, the present wheat
crop of tho United States will fall short
of the crop cf 1869 some 48,000,000

a "long season," will fall little short of
4,000,000 bales. .With large crops and
high prices our farmers aro not likely to

United States Senato.
The French Mitralleur is a light 37
barreled gun, arranged that its barrels
may be discharged simultaneously or
consecutively. Tho cartridges are con
tained in a box; a steel plate with cor
responding holes, is placed on the box,
whioh is then reversed, aud the cart
ridges fall point foremost in their re
spective holes, being prevented from
falling through by the rims at their ba
ses. The loaded plate is then introduced
into the breech-elot, and when the breech
is closed by a lever," a number of steel
pins, pressed by spiral springs, are only
prevented from striking the percussion
arrangement ia the cartridges by a plate
in front of them. When Ibis case ' is
moved slowly by a handle, the cartridges
are fired one by one. . If the plate be
withdrawn rapidly they follow each other
so quickly that their discharge is all but
simultaneous. Tho invention seems very
well adapted for use io forts or other
permanent places ot aeiense or onense,
but its carriage and management in the
field would present many and insuperable
obstacles to its general use.
"Italy" said a celehated Austrian
statesman, interrogatively, in the haugh
ty days of overwhelming power and over
weening pride, gone by." "Italy is but a
geographical expression !" The .fair pe
ninsula was then subdivided into three or
four Kingdoms and half a dozen petty
duchies, with a province or two belonging
to outside Powers. To-day she is all
united from the Alps to the end of the
boot in one government, excepting the
State which will recognize the Sover
eign Pontiff as their solo supreme tem
poral ruler. Her population now, even
with that exception remembered, is about
27,000,000 souls, and her superficial area
more than 100,000 square miles. 'Her
army, which in 1848 amounted in Sar
dinia, the only section of ber then
subdivided territory that seemed national,
to only 50,000 men, now consists of
425,000 men in all, for field operations,
of which the number ready for immediate

In many places the road is flanked by
fearful precipices and far decending de
clivities which suggest the importance of
true horses, 6trong harness and careful
driving. The road is amply wide for a
single team at all point, but care must
be taiien to avoid meeting teams on many
ot the long hillside grades.
The Wyley Mountain and the crossings
of tho Sautiam arc the chief difficulties.
These, however, cau be entirely avoided ;
the former by a feasible route either
along the eastern or western base of the
mountain, of easy grade and not materi
ally affecting the distance : the six cross-
Lings west ot the "Upper Sodas," by a
road ot easy construction and light grades
on the west side ot the river, j hese

valley and the settfeir.euts in Eastern
Oregon. The tall mountains with their
crowns of basalt, concede but a narrow
valley for the passage of the river flowing
with a descent of from 60 to 80 feet per
mile, and presents a scene most imposing
and picturesque. There is, however,
many a nook and cosy recess to attract
the lovers of adventure and solitude, and
a cabin at wide intervals already indicates
the home of a settler. Trout, deer aud j

time, but it produces perfect and permanent cures
of the worst cases of Cbronio Nasal Catarrh, and
I uill pay $.100 reward for a ea'e that I cannot
cure. ' Cold in the head" and Catarrhal Head
ache are cured with a few applications. If you
have a discbarge from tho nose, offensive or oth
erwise, stopping up tbo noso at times, partial loss
of tho sense of smell, tasto or hearing, eyes water
ing or weak, feel dull, bare pain or pressure in
the bead, you may rest assured that you have
Catarrh. Thousands annually, without manifest
ing half of the obove symptoms, terminate in
Consumption and end in tbe grave. No disease
is so common, more deceptive or less understood
by physicians. I "will send my pamphlet on Ca
tarrh to any address free. Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy is now
SOLD BY MOST DRUOGISTS IN ALL PARTS
OF TUB WORLD.
Price 50 cents. Sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt
of 60 cents, or four packages for two dollars. Be
ware of counterfeits and worthless imitations. See
that my private Stamp, which is a positive guar
antee of genuineness, is upon tho outside wrapper.
Remember that this private Stamp,, issued by the
United States Government expressly for stamping
my medicines, has my portrait, name and address,
and the words "V. S. Certificate of Genuineness"
engraved upon it, and need not be mistaken.
Don't be swindled by travelers and others, repre
senting themselves as Dr. Sage ; I am the only
man now living that has tbe knowledge and right
to manufacture the genuine Dr. Sao' Catarrh
Remedy, and I never travel to sell this medicine.
