ALBANY REGISTER. V. R. Olflrlnl Pnprr for Oritou. SAT :KDAY. NOV. 29. 1873. DITOUIAI, KOTES. A XV hlngton special, referring to tlm late. . dispatches from Spain, says it is antl.oritlvely stated that the de mand of tlie Government are as fol lows: That i lie Virginia must be surrendered; that surviving members ot the passengers ami crew must be restored ; that the United States flag mast be saluted in the port where it hi$ been outraged; that suitable in demnity must tie made to families of American citizens massacred. Later dispatches have been received from General Wolsoloy, commanding Uie Ashantee expedition. They eon demn native auxiliaries as worthier. The Ashantei are in full retreat. Their main column, however, is within easy marching distance of the British advance, yet the General is unable to Overtake and attack them, owing to the slowness and cowardice of his native allies. Crescent City got more ol the recent earthquake than anybody else. It lasted about thirty seconds, and did considerable damage, more or, less In Juriiigall the brick lionsesin the town. ! Quite a number ot chimneys were thrown dowiiand other damages done. The ground In that region is full of cracks since the quake, some of them over a hundred feet in length and sev eral incites i Me, Forest Grove Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry was organized on the 81st. with thirty charter members. It is officered as follows: Master. Hen ry Buxton ; Overseer. A. S. Watt; Lecturer, C. H. Walker; Chaplain, A. C. Brown ; Secretary, A. T. Buxton; Treasurer. S. G. Gleason ; Steward. Geo. Hines ; Assistant Steward. John Sheppard. 0. G. Keeper, T. G. Todd ; Ceres. Mrs. M. A. Koe; Poinoru. Mrs. R. A. Buxton; Flora. Mrs. R. Kimsly; Lady Assistant Steward, Mrs. s. C. Todd, We now have authority, from Span ish sources, denying that an attempt was made to assassinate Minister Sick las. It this assertion prove true, then the Spanish-American embroglio rests entirely upon the Vtfgintm ca.se, and ih the light of the late news from Spain, the prospect of a war between 'he two nations is remarkably thin. The difficulty seems to bo to tell which of the dispatches received from Mad rid are to be credited. It is announced that our Government will continue her preparations, and in the event that Spain (ails to come, to the '-scratch" when '-called" by Uncle Samuel, the aforesaid Uncle Samuel can go to the trout with a full hand. The following Welds of grain, as re ported from different sections of the State, gives an outsider a slight insight Into the productiveness ol Oregon : C. P. Burkhart, of this (Linn) county, raised Golden Amber Wheat that weighed 8 pounds per bushel, with a yield of forty-three bushels to the acre, R. 0. Geer. of Marion county, turned out White Winter Wheat that weighed sixty-three pounds to the bushel, with a yield of sixty bushels per acre. II. Massey, of Polk county, raised Little Bed and. White Club Wheat that weighed sixty-four pounds to the bushel. The same gentleman raised Russian Winter Oats, weighing forty pounds to the bushel and yield ing forty bushels per acre. J, W. Hearford, of Marion county, raised Winter Oats that weighed tilty pounds to the bushel, and produced seventy live bushels per acre. R. C. Geer of Marion county, produced of the En jjlish Waiter variety of Oats, weighing forty -five pounds to the bushel, one hundred and six bushels per acre. These are but a lew indications of Ore gon's productiveness-we might pub lish columns of equally as favorable reports, The people of Omaha are variously and pleasantly alluded to by outsiders M "Omahogs," "Omahosses," "Oma borribles," etc, Gen. Butler is fir decisive measures in the Virginia aifair. He says there being no state of war the Virginivs could not be a legitimate prize of war. She could not lie properly seized for a violation of any of Spain's municipal regulations, because she was not in Spanish waters. She could not be deemed a pirate while carrying, as she did, an American register and an American flag. To maintain the sa credness of the American deck, which is American's soil, and to insure re spect to the nation, he demands ample reparation and swift punishment of tlte offenders. And now comes Tweed's counsel with a bill comprising nine objections on which to base arguments lor a stay of proceedings. If the prosecuting officer ask time to consider the bill, Judge Davis may possibly take time to coy over the points presented and then what? In the meantime, it is stated, Tweed will not go to Black well's Island, If Tweed don't get away with that twelve years' sentence we shall begin t think the milleulum ha. struck the modern Sodom. The Commissioner of the General Late: Office has informed Delegate MeFadden, of Washington Territory, that J lie public surveys will next soring be extended over San Juan and other islands in the Hue of Northwest boun dary, recently in dispute between Great Britain and the United States.

They give employment to 50 men. Mills at Troy, also, resumed work on the 24th. Over live thousand men are employed in them. The latest gold discovery is from Ilolcombe Valley, California. It is about one mile from Haley and Com Kiny's mill'. The ledge is sixty feet wide, and projects one hundred feet from the ground; and gold can be seen all over ft. It was discovered but a few days since. Washington county objects to the "equalization," on the ground tliat her lands arc assessed at so high a rate, that they cannot be sold for enough to pay said assessment. Washington Territory has a new order, a relative, no doubt, of the Granges, entitled the Order of Indus trial Co-Ojieratives.

His sentence was to have been pronounced yesterday. . 4V- A State Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry has been organized at Camden, New York. ''Protected Viscera," is the new name for patent insides, Western publishers are in a fair way to wear out the dictionary. Hunters Scheme. We have alrea dy mentioned the scheme of R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia, to ask the Gen eral Government to '-lend'' the late slave States &00,000.000 without in rest, the principal never to be de manded, in consideration of the loss of "property" occasioned by emancipa tion. The scheme contemplates the further loan of this sum by the States receiving it, and on like generous terms, to the individuals whose slaves were set free. It is now mentioned as one of the probable outcomes of the recent -'Conservative" victory in Vir ginia that Mr. Hutite.- will be gent to the United States Senate, in order that he may have an opportunity of pre senting his Ideas, with the authority of a law-maker, to his admiring coun trymen. ..Whenever "Conservative" or Democratic politics get lu the as cendency, ideas like these Invariably crop out with them, 1 Latest New.

The report that the Government had suspended work on ironclads, and ordered officers detached from till large vessels in stopped all preparations in anticipation of a war with Spain, "until further notice," is contradicted. By an arrangement of the Eastern Railroad ot Massachusetts, the Port land and Ogdeusburg. .and the Mon treal. Chambley and Surelo Railroads, A through trunk railway has been as sured between the West and the At lantic. Explanations given by the French Government with regard to the pasto ral of the Bishop of Nancy ordering prayers for tne recovery of Met and strasbnrg, are regarded as unsatisfact ory at Berlin.
