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.

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

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.

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
