V. S. Official Paper for Oregon. SATURDAY, SEPT. 3, 1870. The annual interest on the public debt, since Gen. Grant's occupation of the Presidency, has been reduced 810,000, 000 by payments on the principal. It wa3 thought the railroad would be finished to Waeonda the present week, where the stages would connect with it, making the traveling time between this city and Portland about eight hours. By order from the Second Controller's office, several claim agents in Portland, Oregon, have been suspended from serv ice. " It it not probable now that the pop ulation the State will exceed 00,000. Jo. Lane stoutly asserted in Washington that we bad this number fifteen years ago. Last wefk a French boy named Fank Pawee, was shockiogly mangled and killed by a Lear while hunting stock on Dry creek iu Jackson county. His remains were found only after several day search. Portland papers announce that num bers of thieves and roughs have left -Portland and are making their way through the valley, and advise the people to receive them with a lew rounds from loaded ehot guns. The share of Mrs. Samuel L. Clemens ("Mark Twain") in her father's estate amounts to a quarter of a million. Mark is uue of the two executors. Lucky Mark. A telegram says the national debt will be reduced ten millions during the month of August. In Arizona the Pcna and Marisopa Indians have gone on the war path against the Apaches. Thirty warriors made a raid from near Phoenix on the 13th of August, and returned with two scalps and much booty, having destroyed the Apache "rancharia." They were welcomed by the whites. A Social Hor Is to be given at Parrish's Ilall on next Friday night, under the auspices of the following named gentlemen : Managers, Messrs. Thos. Beard, A. Z. Sears, I. Conn and A - C Laj-ton.

Balance all I - Paris Is probably the best defended city in the world in the way of fortifica tions, eto. The city is completely sur rounded by two lines of defense, one within the other. A wall thirty-three feet in hight; embracing both banks of tha Seine, baaliouea ami terraced, forms a continuous enclosure of twenty two miles in length. The line has a fosse twenty feet deep, and there are fourteen detach ed forts as outworkt. An army besieging Paris would require a line thirty miles in length. These defenses are the work of years, Louis Napoleon having expended 100.000,000 upon them alone. A Democratic Opinion. The Olympia Standard,. Democratic journal, Las the following paragraph, which may strike one of his party bretheren in will, say Texas : ' Chief among the contemptible acta a publisher of a country newspaper can be guilty of, is boasting of hisowu "ability," or tho large circulation of his paper, for getting that the public is generally about as well posted on these points as himself. When in this self-laudation he speaks dis paragingly of the business prospects of his cotemporaric3. it shows him to be tho possessor of a soul so narrow and contract ed that it would scarcely fill the tradi tional mustard seed. TaE Orleans Princes. The pres ent troubles in France may result in a change of rulers over that nation, and the public are naturally anxious to know something of the talked of new dynasty, the house of Orleans. There are four Princes of this house, eons of Louis Philippe. The Duke of Nemours is 56 years old ; under Louis Philippe he held several important military commands, especially in the campaigns against Abd-el-Kader. He was chosen King of the Belgians in 1838, and was proposed for King of Greece, but his father would not permit him to accept either dignity. He is the father of the Count d'Eu, the son-in-law and General of the Emperor of BraaiL The Prince de Joinville is 52 years old, in his father's time a naval commander of repute. Tho Duke of Aumslee is aged 42 ; he served in Alge ria under Bureaud and Baraguey d'Hil liers, ros8 to be a Marshal of Franoe, and received Abd el-Kader's surrender. The Duke of Montpensier, candidate for the throne of Spain, is the youngest of these ' princes. Since 1848, ail the family, except the last named, have lived in old '. England, says the NOT. Tribune. "There wee a frog who lived in a spring. He caught inch a cold that be could not aiag." Poor, unfortunate, Batraohian 1 In what a sad plight he must have been. And yet his misfortune was one that often befalls singers. Many a once tune ful voice among those who belong to the , "genus homo" is uterly spoiled by "cold in the head," or on the lungs, or both combine!. For the above mentoned "Croaker" we are not aware that any remedy was ever devised ; but we rejoice to know that all human singers may keep their heads clear and their throats in tune by a timely use of Dr. Sage's . Catarrh Remedy, and Dr. Pierce's Alt. ' Ext. or Golden Medical Discovery, both of which are sold by druggists. , - Minuter Stevens has had his creden tials presented at the Court of M-ootecedo. A word for Klickitat. Dalles, Aug. 23, 1870. Editor. 'Register: My design in writing at present is to give such inform ation respecting the Klickitat valley as may bo beneficial to those desiring homes cast of the mountains. Klickitat county is in Washington Ter ritory, on the Columbia river, opposite Wasco county, Oregon. The Columbia river forms the boundary line from the mouth of White Salmon to the junction of the Yakama with the Columbia. Its northern boundary follows tha Simcoe mountains to the .Yakama river, thence down the Yakama to its mouth. It con tains au area of nearly 4,000 square miles, but a small proportion of which is sus- ccptablo of cultivation. The larger part of the available lands aie either occupied cr claimed, though in Klickitat valley proper there are still many valuable land claims to be secured by pre-emption or under tho homestead act. These tracts of land, in Klickitat valley, arc distant from timber about twelve miles. They are superior stock ranches, growing ex cellent grass, and will, if properly farmed, yield excellent wheat, barley, oats and hay. It has been reported that this valley would not grow grain and vegetables, but eucn is not tne cose, l nave been out through the valley and on the farms, and 1 have not seen, even in "Webfoot," the celebrated wheat country, bet er oats, wheat or barley than here. Mr. Burgen will realize about 1,000 bushels of grain from his farm the present harvest, and others are realizing equally us well. Iu other portions of ttie county, on tho river especially, very fine fruits are cultivated with great success. Peaches, grapes, plums, sweet potatoes, all kinds of small fruits, melons and vegetables are equal to those raised anywhere on the North Pa cific coast. - . These facts, in connection with the ex tensive and inexhaustable stock range, would make a home here desirable. How ever, there are some unpleasant things to bo taken into consideration, such as tho scarcity of timber, the high cold winds in the Spring, and other inconveuiencies connected with new countries. There are iu the valley about twenty-two families; two district schools, and a good state of society. I am confident in saying that a better state of society cannot be found. The Methodists have a good membership and regular preaching. .There area num ber of families coming in yet this fall. There are two saw-mills in the valley, md a grist mill is soon to be erected on Klick itat creek. I spent about three days in and around Dalles City. All I can say of the city is that it wears tho 'habiliments of dis tress." Empty stores, half lioished.dwell ings, silent shops and factories, with mer chants, shopkeepers and hotel runners lounging outside on the sidewalks tell but too plainly that "her glory hath de parted." r t am of the opioion that Albany in about the nictst town, and gives as great promise of future thrift and prosperity as any town in the State except two. Let no one be in haste to sell lots or town property, for a few years hence and your city will attract great attention, and will be a centre of prosperity. The campmeeting near the Dalles con tinued two weeks, with good success. I was there only three days. My regards to all inquiring friends. H. C. JENKINS. Vancouver, W. T., Aug. 24: I have been looking over this city a most beautiful site for a city. The town extends back from the river (Columbia) about one mile. There is only one busi ness street, and precious little bu?ine-s on that just now. I must confess myself disappointed in the business aspect of the place. Conference is now in session will probably close on Sunday. Two of our preachers, with dogs and guns, went out yesterday, and captured a black bear. Rev. Mr. Turner fired the shot that brought young bruin down. Hoping to greet you again, with other dear friends in Albany, I bid you fare well. H. C. J. who may be near that locality. And without assuming it to be any hotter at the upper boda than at other points along the road similarly situated,, still 1 can say with a degree of truthfulness, that on the day I was there, I saw tho Captain cooking kettle full of potatoes (I suppose they were cooking, I saw them out in the sun) without aid of fire or wood. A bath house for the convenience of those desiring to bathe iu soda water has been erected by Capt White, and in ingenious simplicity is a perfect model; all you have to do when you want to bathe, is to wait until water enough runs out of the spring to fill a good sized trough, into which it runs, carry it up to tho top of the building, (about ten feet high) pour into another trough, and rush down the ladder, get into another trough inside, pull out the plug and 'let her rip ;' as the soda water loses its strength by a few minutes exposure to the air, I should suppose a bath in the Santiam would be equally as beneficial, and a fellow would have more room to wallow around in ; still there is nothing like soda water to bathe in, and a gullible chap who had tried it said he felt as if he had taken a decoction of ' angle worm oil and axle grease, he was so kind a limber like just after ho came out. I am told by old residents of tho coun try who have lived more or less duriug their whole lives in the mountains, and ho are as familiar with the country thTough which the wagon road passee as you ere with the streets of your city, and who knows every canyon, gulch, creek and mountain for many juiles, that the sight of the burning timber when the creat fire was raging which burned over hundreds of square miles wa3 indeed aw fully grand and impressive. The atmos rjherc was filled for a number of miles adjoining the immediate locality of the burniug with a hot, stifling smoke which completely obscured the sun for a num ber of days. Hundreds of deer, Bear, Elk and game of other kinds perished in the flames unable to escape the de vouring element. The Santiam river was ! so nearly dried up that :t ceased tor a time to flow as a running stream, and cx 1 isted only in places as pools of nearly hot water. Fish were found afterward along j the shores almost by the bushel, their i destruction haviug been caused by the mtense heat, and suffocation by smoke set tlina: in a dense mass over the stream; instances were known of great fissures in the earth from one to 5 or 0 feet wide, caused also by heat, and generally run ning parallel with the river, thought not always, and apparently very deep. I give it to you as told to me, and you can be lieve it or not as you like, though my informant was a reliable and truthful man as I believe. Leaving Upper Soda the road crosses what is kuown as Soda Fork, and contin uing dowu the angle between the two rivers crosses the main stream some hali nr.le above Capt.

The Army of the Crown Prince has united with the left wing and is hurrying rapidly to Paris and expects to be before that city on Tuesday. McMahon s army is at otenay. it is reported again that Bazaino and McMa hon have joined. Thionville, Toul and Metz still hold out against the Prussians.

Re ported that McMahon has been defeated in a great oauie witn tne urown i-rince, which began on Sunday evening. The latest dispatches, however, rcpreseut that the contest is not yet decided, and that fighting is now going on between Charle ville and Ardenness. Sixty thousand troops have left Paris to join McMahon. All the palaces in France arc ta appropriated as hospitals for the wouuded. Russia and England are strongly op posed to the dismemberment of France Americans are rapidly leaving Paris. Most of the hotels are already deserted It is reported that Stcinmctz has been removed from -command. New RorkT Aug: 29 Cable to N. Y. Sun, dated Arlin, says the Prussians are making a flank mjvement on McMa hon, same as they did with Bazaine. The Prussians marching on Paris have changed their front, and arj marching north. The dispatch announcing that McMa hon and Buzaine are in communication, is net believed. Paris letters say 200,000 good troops are in the city, besides 18,000 gunners from the fleet. Paris, Aug. 29 It is said that the Prussians are marching north. Gen. Failley has been relieved of his command, for leaving cannon at Chalons to fall into the hands of the Prussians.

Browjcsville, Aug. 31, 1870 We have to chronicle a change of base as regards the weather, and in lieu of linen dusters, wear woolen clothing to keep comfortable, and have a good fire in the evening to keep our Sogers and toes from freezing. I am of the opinion that the readers of the Register will be well . posted as to the many attractions to be. found on tho Jine of ,the Willam ette Valley and Cascade Mountain Wag on road, and it-is a little singular that so many literary cusses like myself should travel over that thoroughfare, and be willing to bore the public with a rehash of what was eeen and heard during a "sojourn" in the mountains. I promise however, to keep "mum" hereafter, and if anyone wants to know about Fish Lake tell them to wait until the first man goes up there, and an "effusion" will soon make its appearance in doses to suit the most fastidious, anti charm every ; one but the printer who Jxas the communica tion to "set up." 'i At the Upper Soda we were informed that grass cotjld be obtained at what is known as Summit Prairie, which ! was distant some 12 miles. Capt. White, an agreeable old gentleman, has taken up the ranch on which the Upper Soda is loca ted and spends his entire time, summer and winter there. He intends to, make that his home, so he says, and improve the place. What the chief attractions of the Upper Soda are, I am unable to say, and it is certainly the hottest locality I . ever was in in my life. There is no nhade of any kind afforded in the vicinity,, and the sun seems to concentrate his entire foree in poruing out his powerful rays up on the head of any unoffending person further down the creek, but tbo stream has now diminished to a shadow of its former size, and rushes down over the rocks in rather an unpretending manner, and presents a perfect paradise to a lover of fishing. How I did want to stop and throw a hook in. just to see how uicely I could haul out a trout which I was sure vjoulil take hold at the first opportunity, but we must make Summit Prairie to night or the horses go hungry for want of their suppers. Horse flies are more abundant here thau at any point yet pass ed, and every time one bites a horse he makes it count, and worries a horse dread fully; it was impossible to keep them off even while traeling, and a swarm was continually following us. I noticed more of a variety of timber along the bottom up here, aud I saw some very large ma ple trees, which was quite a relief from the everlasting firs. After leaving the Santiam on the right the road in a short distance takes its course up the mountain for a long stretch of seveu miles, aud it seems as if one will never get to the top. Upon this mountain, the heaviest grade on the road, a great deal of labor has been expended and it is at this season in a splendid condition. Indeed it is the best section of the whole road, and pleasant traveling being in the heavy green tim ber, and consequently a good shade is af forded. You occasionally cross a ravine or gulley, running down the side of the mountain through which water almost as cold as ice runs and flows into the San tiam. Good substantial bridges have been erected over . most of them, and the grade is gradual. About one .mile this side of the summit iu an open spot you first see the bald mountain, apparently directly in front of you, and "iron moun tain" to tho left, a high rocky promon tory towering above the heads of its neighbors, a little on one side of which stands a rock resembling somewhat "chimney rock" cn tho Platte, although not so tall as chimney rock, and of a dif ferent color. A red streak can be seen running around the main mountain which is supposed to be iron ore, consequently its name, iron mountain. To be continued. Financial and Commercial.

The Tribune's correspondent says the people do not suffer the horrors of war. Women and the shopkeepers in the vil lages are not molested by the soldiers. It is essentially a civilized war.

Brussels, Aug. 30.- Belgian troops are hastening to tho front from all quar ters, as a great battle between the French and Prussians is apparently imminent, and the services of the Belgian troops will no doubt be necessary to protect the coun try from invasion. Lor don, Aug. 30. McMahon failed to form a junction with Bazaine, and now finds himself separated by a wedgo of two powerful Prussian armies'. Tbo 27th French regiment routed two regiments of Saxon dragoons with great loss near Stenay ; the Saxons, however, now hold Stenay and Fonts a'Mousson.

Vague rumors of a battle on the 27th, in which the French were victorious, are in circulation. Bazaine has been provisioned. McMa hon has been reinforced. The Prussians burned the railway sta tion at Cbavenay. No report has reached Verdun of any great battlo. -'-,.. The Crown Prince of Prussia's head quarters is at Launers. Dispatch from the Prussian headquar ters says that Bazaine is completely cut off, and all other statements to the con trary are manufactured. A report that an attack has been made on the Paris and Lyons railway, is in circulation in Paris. The bombardment of Strassburg is becoming severe and much damage is already done. Railway communication between Paris and Brussels suspended. ! Luxemburg, Aug. 30. One hun dred and fifty Prussians were surprised and attacked l)y five hundred French this morning, near Aubrige.

I'aris, Aug. 30 Midnight. ihe march of the Prussians on Paris has been arrested. McMahon continues his move ments. There has been no serious en gagements yet. Chalons has been entirely-evacuated by the Prussians. Rail road trains go freely now as far as Rheims. London, Aug. 31. The Standard says the Prussians are strong around Rlieims. Immense masses have passed northward. It is impossible to say wheth er the roport that King William is mov ing on Paris with heavy forces is true or not. Equally doubtful is the rumor that the French Minister of War ad interim has been removed from the Capital. News uncertain and conflicting. Paris, Aug. 31. A person just ar rived from Meziers, affirms that a battle occurred ou Saturday. Informant says the Prussians were retreating; that there were an immense number ot No official announcement of the affair has yet been made by the Minister. McMahou is entirely free in his move ments, and in perfect communication with Bazaiue. Both must be fighting who are enemies. j Tho forced marches of the Prince Roy al has used up many of his men, foot-sore and have to be transported in carts. . Brussels, Aug. 31. Bazaine. is still cooped up in Metz. The German army has been ordered to camp as far as possible from the last bat tlefield, owing to sickening exhalations arising therefrom. New York, Aug. 31. Private dis patches from London say French advices report that McMahon, by his tactics, hav ing succeeded in separating the forces of his opponents, will probably give battle to day, and is hopeful of obtaining a vic tory. ' Brussels, Aug. 31. The King of Prussia sent the following to the Queen, dated Varennes, Aug. 30 : The Crown Trince attacked McMahon with the 12th and 17th corps and the 14th Bavarians, and . succeeded in beating and driving him beyond the Meuse. He captured twelve guns and some thousands of pris oners. Following dispatch has no date ; it was filed at Brussels : French defeated the Prussians here ; fighting at Attigeny ; McMahon seems to be retreating on the defenses at the north.
