From the Bulletin of October 28th, we learn that a tearful tragedy was enacted in Tillamook last Friday, in which Haux hurst, who was at one time an Inmate of the Penitentiary, and a man by the name of Dorst were actors. It ap pears that the cause of the light was jealousy of Ilauxhurst on the part of Dorst, who ordered him never again to enter his house. Unmindful of the warning, H. paid a visit there last Friday, when be was met by Dorst, who began to pound him. Iu the course of the fight Ilauxhurst drew a knife and stabbed his opponent several times, causing death. Ilauxhurst was arrested, but after a preliminary ex amination was discharged, it being ascertained that be acted in self-defence. Looking to the resumption of specie payment the Secretary of the Treasury has issued an order to commence on tlie 23th hit., the payment of silver at New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Bal timore and other leading cities where there are Assistant Treasurers or des ignated depositories. Iu no case will more than $5 in silver be paid to one person, the balance of a check being payable in greenbacks. Secretary Richardson hopes to be able to keep up the payment of silver, which was to have been oommeuced on tlie 23th. He says be will be able to do so unless a run upon the Treasury be made and silver Liken out for the purpose of being hoarded. The St. Louis IleptMican of October 28th has a special from Dennison, Texas, which says that Lieut. Quim bie, from Fort Ridiardson, who re cently arrived there, reports the In dians in that region as very hostile. Several minders have been committed by tliem. During the past week, stock had been driven off near Wichitta and butchered. Settlers fled to the Rancbo in that vicinity, where they are besieg ed by a large band of Indians. Two companies of soldiers left For Richard son ou .Monday iu pursuit of the sav ages. There is general alarm among the frontier settlers. The Indians are believed to be Comanches. Near Rock Point, Jackson county, last Wednesday, at McCallister's steam sawmill, a fatal accident happened to a young man by tlie name of Joseph I). Gary. 17 years old.

It has been said that tlie harvest of (lie sea is greater than that of the kind, and it this be true of tlie sea, It is also frequently true of tlie great rivers, that empty into it. Away north, where the Columbia, with its mighty tribu taries, drain tlie valleys of Orepon. Washington and Idaho, the uncultured wealth of tlie waters is far greater than the cultured wealth of tlie land, and its development is going on at an aston ishing rate. No other product of these regions, save lumber, at all equals in iniiortance or value t hat of the salmon flliiug interest, and if It continues to increase as it has done for the past two or three years. It will soon leave even that behind. During the nine months ending with September, the value of tlie export by sea and over land by rail, was not less than three millions of dollars, and so great was the demand tor the markets ot London mid New York, that the supplies in this city were hardly ever ahead of the demand. And now we learn that three new curing establishments are to be added to those already existing, which will Increase their capacity by 12,000 cases yearly and add at least a million dollars to the value ot their yearly product. If conducted with judgment, and so as not to exhaust the breeding source of the supply, the salmon fish eries of tlie Columbia may in fliture years support as many people as do any of the great fisheries of Europe or America, and be the source of almost incalculable wealth to that region. S. F. Chronicle, Oct. 25. New Void nines Discovered. From Mr. Llnsey, an old settler just over from the Yakima Valley. w learn tliat rich nlacer gold diggings have been discovered, situated about seventy-five miles north-east from Yakima City, on 8wak creek, which empties into the Yakima river twelve miles from Mortimer inorps raneii. These mines were discovered by tlie Goodwin Brothers some months ago, but Kent a secret by them until lately. It has caused much excitement among the settlers and a perfect stampede from all parte ot the valley has taken place. It is reported that, one man. in a short time, "creviced" out of the bed rock, with a knife and spoon, dust to the value of $180 in coarse gold one piece weighing over an ounce. This dust, ami several other amounts, have been exhibited to the settlers of the Yakima and tlie result has been mag ical. Tills news, although calculated to make considerable excitement, lias failed to do so with the people ot the Dalles, uuc reason ts that it is now too late In the season to prepare for winter or early spring mining, ami our people have wisely concluded tint if the diggings are going to prove good it will be time enough m the spring to go there.

The Albany and Santlum Canal Company would respectfully call the attention of tlie public, and (specially the Capitalist, and thine desiring to engage iii manufacturing, to their fii3lltlc water power ami water prlv ege. Sixteen thousand cubic feet constantly flowing every minute, equal to 800 horse power, with from 8 to 30 feet fall, sufficient for the most expen sive machinery, with ground on which to erect the necessary buildings, etc. The Company deem it but proper that the public should know more fully the locality of tills great water power, its facilities and surroundings, in order that those unacquainted may form some estimate of Its value. The city of Albany Is tlie county-seat of Linn county, located on the south east bank of the Willamette river, about 100 miles south of Portland, by river, and 80 miles by railroad ; son'h of Salem 45 miles by river and 30 miles by railroad, and north of Eugene City 4o miles. Albany is located in a prairie of the same name, which is the great agricul tural renter oft lie Willamette valley, and It is believed that upward of 500,- 000 bushels of surplus wheat will be re ceived at that point, the present seasou. The most of it will And its way to for eign markets, either by bouts or rail road to Portland, ami from thence up on the ocean. The Willamette river is navigated by beautiful steamers, carrying from 80 to 300 tons, running as far as Albany some ten months in the year. Also, the O. & C. It. R , with its beautiful locomotives, is pass ing through the city dally, the city ot Albany is located upon a high, roll ing prairie, with the taiaooia, a beau tiful creek, flowing into the Willamette river on tlie west, the water of which is used in driving two large flouring mills, situated on the bank of the Wil lamette river. The city is about one mile in length, running east and west, and from one-half to three-fourths of a mile In width, and is laid off with streets of good width, The Canal, which is tlie subject and object of this communication, receives its waters from the South Santiam river, which heads in the great Cascade mountains, some 75 miles east of Albany; thence running westerly through a valley of the same name, to Lebanon, a village located near the west bank of said river, 13 miles east of Albany. The Canal receives the waters from the Santiam river nt that point, thence running west to Its ter minus at Albany. The main Santiam flows northward, and empties its mountain waters Into the Willamette river 10 miles northeast of Albany. The Canal Is brought from Lebanon through a beantifuipralric for a dis tance of 12 miles, and empties into the Willamette river, forming on its way and in tlie city some of the finest water powers for manufacturing purposes found on the Pacific coast. There are but tew, if any, points in the State which surpasses Albany now, for man ufacturing facilities. Cheap water power and easy of access, and conven ient transportation, either by water or railroad, and the location beautiful and healthy. The Canal Company offers liberal inducements to persons desiring to en gage in the business ot manufacturing, and will furnish water power upon the most reasonable terms. Manufactur ing of all kinds is needed in Oregon, and could be made profitable. The Canal Company will agree to furnish, within sixty days, any water power needed, from a button factory to that of a locomotive. Immigrants and others are earnestly invited and requested to visit Albany and examine for themselves. Real property can yet bo procured on very reasonable terms, both In and out of the city. Our people compare favor ably with the rest of mankind, morally socially, politically and financially. Published by orjWr of the Board of Directors, Sept. 8th, 1873. L. ELKINS, D.
