Troublea In Fears arc entertained by citizens of Idaho Territory of another In dian raid. A private letter to a gentleman in this city, from an cx ofh'ceholder, dated Silver City, I.

Indications seem to justify that impression by those who understand the kidian nature They have committed several mur ders, in the last two or three weeks, . oil Wood river, in the vicinity of Camas Prairie. I have also just licen informed that they have driven off a band of horses from Houldcr Creek, distant from this place eight miles. Winncmucca paid this county a visit, a short time since, and made ominous inquiries in regard to soldiers In tlie vicinity, and was particularly interested as to the amount of arms and ammunition in the hands of ranchmen. Some think no danger is to lie apprehend ed, whilst others look upon a re newal ot hostilities as certain. Cat Pie."

And now comes tho Democratic National Convention, held at Balti more on the 0th and 10th, and nominates Horace Greeley for Presi dent, and II. Gratz Drown, for Vice President. This is the way tho Louisville Tsthjcr puts it : "The Democrat who talks of voting for Greeley in 1872, and then organizing on Hancock, or some other Democratic candidate in '70, has alniut as much idea of party management as Pat had of trimming shade trees : " Pat," asked his employer, " have you finished that work ?" " No, sir, your honor ; but I've cut the trees all down, and am go ing to trim cm up to-morrow." "Ciiaitaqiackkuy" is the Rochester Chronietfi name for Greeleyism. It is "as dangerous to the body politic as medical quack ery is to the body physical." Tho Democrats do not take to Uncle Horace quite so much as they do something else. The Sa vanah Arer predicts that if the Baltimore Convention nominates Greeley, Georgia will go for Grant by 20,000 majority.. Tho AW is a Democratic paper, and commends the Democrats who say they will remain away from the doIIs rathei than atultify themselves by voting for Greeley.

AVent on the freight train at Salem on the 127 th of June, and in two hours arrived at Albany. I observed the crons closely, and saw that all early sown spring grain and fall wheat were good late spring fruit. The, old orchards on low grain, gardens and meadows were ' lands arc dying out, but new orch sufl'erhig greatly from the effects of i !lrds, or even old ones on dry ground the severe drouth all through June. J are very promising. In the region Left the cars and rode in a wagon 'ot country along Peterson's Unite, 12 mites S. E. Afterwards went ; aro the best ganlens, grain and fruit on the ears at Tangent and arrived , crops which I saw any where in the at Ifarrisbnrg on the 1st inst. And ! county. The next best was in the hero I wou'd state thit, from all I have heard in Marion and linn and I.auc counties, there is a general dissatisfaction at the rates charged for jssago on the cars. 1 Seduce the fare to one-half and the uumlier of passengers would lie increased five-fold. Tho road and cars and conductors on the road, arc first best. The carrying trade on the ears fi.r the ensuii g six months will lie immense. May success crown the immense outlay and en terprise of the owners of the O. & C. Railroad, Jiiy their shadows and their roads expand in Oregon. Our days of isolation are nearly ended, mors. This is an important item to all the people of Linn county. I no ticed the crops, all the county through, north and south in reach of the railroad, and from Han is. burg, east to the hills, and thence ; down Little Muddy to Dig Muddy; and via Ilalscy, and angling via ! Brownsville and Hoston .Vil's;ai;d the country bordering the hills via Saddle Rutte, Spencer's Unite and Lebanon and Knox's JJutte to Al bany. All the fall wheat, in the whole region seen by me, is much above an average crop. Ad the barley, oats and spring wheat, put in early and well, are a very fair average crop. 7'hc late sown grain and meadows were likely to lie short from the severe June drouth. But those heavy rains of the 28th, 20th and 30th of June have revived all nature here, and late sown grain, hay and gardens, may be safely set down at an aver age crop. Orain will, no doubt, be well filled, and we hoc for good weather for harvesting. All the growing flax which I saw was very short. WAcntxHRr, I would here remark that a very large amount of farm machinery and new wagons and plows arc now owned by the farmers of this county, and still more being purchased. V'he new patterns of reapers, threshers, mowers, headers, drills, sowers and plows are highly satisfactory to the owners, I hope, however, that the time is near at hand when our foundaries, machine shops and agricultural works in Oregon will mainly supply our home demand for those implements of husbandry, from our own ex- hatistlcss iron-banks or mountains, and our forests. We have the wa- ter jiowcr, and coal and wood for steam works for all those uses at home. Additional enterprising set tlers of heavy capitol are needed in our rising and popular State, SYSTEMATIC F.UIMINO. It is plainly discernable where cver I have been, or heard from in this county, that thorough farming is abundantly rewarding the opera tors, Crops Vary from this cause, oftentimes one-halt ; and so do gar dens and meadows. Whoever have resorted to thorough draining of their lauds, will see tho great benefit of it in tho increase of their crops now and hereafter. So far as J farmers hare ploweddeepry, well mixed up the toil with tht harrows, an abundant return inn(l crops lias rewarded them. As the county. These aretldwys iikimwwu firmer increase in wealth and dis. as agriculture, towiw, trade and coveries in agriculture are made and I business progress. ',1"nspn' mrmnW wl" lxxx,me raorc i - time and chain that farmers have had here, they have done well, and should be highly commended. They appear to be in excellent humor - and w'l they may, for they will receive fair prices in cash this sea son for all their surplus grain and stock. FIHTT. Ill the northern part of the conn. ; ty the fruit crop is rather light. In i the central, southern and eastern j parts there is a fair average crop of i southern part ot thecounty. Frosts j ; were light in those localities last May, It is a lixed fact that wet white lands ought not to be planted with fruit trees. I have been in all the counties in Western Oregon, since 1802 ; and I never saw an ex- ception, but that fruit trees on such lands have died, or arc dying out. As to varieties of fruits,! leave every - . 1 . , . . man to use. his own nulgment m J w ! the ease of selecting fruit trees. Different fruits for different locali ties, according to actual cxperiei cc- here, for nearly 25 mm rast.should , . ".T. . g " 1 be well regarded. Experience is the best teacher. DRAIXISft, I have seen no lands, wherever I have been, but can be drained. As to the mode I have not space to state it. There arc various plans and ways for this purpose. I esti- mta ht .!, , .it. m .. ............ ,. from the Lane county line to Jetfer-: . son, skirting the hills Kast,S.K. and N. E. of Albany -450 square miles, nearly every tract of which is good . . . . ,, prairie. It is all susceptible of high and successful culture in grain and grass. I think that 250 square miles of this tract are now in small grain i ' i T 1Qft ., and meadow. If 180 square miles are now m grain, and each acre wiliproduce 20 bushels, then you will have a little fortune this year in the present crop. This last item , , , , , . does not proper y be oug to the item of draining, but I must crowd the items somewhat together tor lack of space. There is a large average of oats growing in this county. s ' peaces. Farmers are casting about for a ! renewal of their fences, placed on I ..... . ! ineir lanns, some niieen or twenty years ago. 'ery large preparations i are being made to pile drive cedar j iwste ill the wet season, and attach . .,, . , , . : to them fencing plank. Ihere is i 1 : no timber in Oregon equal for fence posts to any cedar timber of large size. There is, however, a great scarcity of fencing plank. I would suppose that any quantity ot fer.c- : .In.,1. l.
