Ex-Senator omeroy's trial for bribery has been postponed untd July 27th, on account of unavoid able absence of one of the attorney. A hurricane in Rempevide on the 7th unroofed a number of homes and destroyed much prop erty. Another argument to come Wert. The Republican Congressional Convention held at Pittsburg, Penn., on the 9th, nominated Hon. James S. Negley from the 22d district, and Col. Thomas Bayne from the 23d. On the morning ot the 9lh, Emma Triesse, living alone, at I Jut land, Vermont, was robbed and murdered and her house burned. The bxly, covered with stabs, was dragged from the flames. - According to the Bishop of Lar anda, 10,000 christians have been strangled, burned or drowned, at Long King, China, and the Bishop adds, " I have no hope up escaping ft martyr's doom." It is now positively denied that Greeley invented the phrase " Go West," as is genera'ly supposed. The beautiful affd accomplished Roth (who lived many years B. ft), originated the phrase when she Mid : " Where thou go West 1 will go!" Tlie Illinois Independent Reform party .have nominated David Gore, of Macoupin, for tate Treasurer, and S. Elter, of McLean county, for Sut. of Pub. Instruction. A resolution opposing the furtlier is sue of paper money and favoring a return t specie payment, was voted down by a very large vote. The Indiana Farmer's State Con vention have placed in nomination the following ticket : For Secretary ot State, N. S. White; for Ami itor, Kbinezer Henderson; for Treasurer, Morris ft Bennett; for Attorney-General, James Mitchell; tor Judge ot the Supreme Court, Horace P.

The Illinois convention selected the same of Independent Reform, under which name tliey will hereafter tight. course this is a mst difficult con- nnndrom to solve. Purchases have been reported in San Francisco, to be de ivered in July, at from$l 60 to $1 65 r 100 (Miinds. This would seem to indicate much lower figures that our producers received last season. Oregon extorters are buying very litt e at present, and so far we have not heard otan offer to contract Kir the new crop.

The coaches were filled with invited guests, press rep resentatives, engineers, and others. All were- greatly pleased with the solidity ot the structure. There is nothing " dead certain " about election yet. Up to latest dates Williams, for Congress, was 45 votes altead of La Dow, with Jackson, Josephine, lW, Curry and Tillamook to hear from. If the majorities calculated upon in the four last named counties stand off La Dow's expected majority in Jackson, Williams nil! catch the plum. The race is a close -one. We still think Rowland, RepublU eaX'. elected Saperiuteiidsut of PqN Instruction, but the balance ot the Jeraoerat ticket a probably Senator Mitchell is at work again interfering (?) with the interests of this State. A Washington tele gram of the 1 1th says he has offered the following amendments to the River and Harbor Hill, which have been referred to the Senate Com mittee oil Commerce: Increasing the appropriation for the improve ment of the Upper Columbia from $20,000 to $50,000; same tor Wil lamette river, from $7,000 to $50, 000; also proposing to insert ap propriation t $100,000 for a caal tn connect the Coqnille river with Coos Hay, and $10,000 for the im provement of Yamhill river. Dates to the 8th from France re port the feeling at Versailles as ex tremely gloomy. One hundred and twenty-five Deputies have signed a proposal for dissolution, ami one hundred and ninety-five more signa tures are expected from the Ift Center. A m tion tor dissolution is e.iected at an early date. The Lett ("enter has determined to have a settlement ot the question of the Republic or a dissolution before 'he August adjournment. About 11 o'clock on the night of the 6th, a tornado struck the town ot TampicO, Whitesides county, Illinois, demolishing 21 buildings and two elevators, and more or less injuring every building in the town. A number of people were injured, one or two, it was feared, fk tally. R yon want to be free of tornadoes, etc., came out to Oregon. In Washington county, Iowa, the faimers have organised an insurance company on the mutual pW The initiation fee is $1. All property is to be insured for two-thirds its actual value, and in case ot a tire among the insured, an equal as. sessment will be made on the mem bership.

On the other ha nd if the reports that recent storms and floods in California have seriously injured the grain crop of that State prove true, our farmers may get as fair prices for their wheat as tlieyj am last season, provided always the demand from Europe prove as good as then.

H. Trotter, held to answCT on a charge of embezzlement before tho Circuit Court of Marion county, has been discharged, the Grand J ury having found "not ft true bill" in the Ho Failure or Noatfarm Cropo. Speculators who bad been calcu lating on a coitm famine in the South as a r -suit of the recent flotids in some of the Southern States, and were making arrangements accord ingly, find w their calculations all blown to the winds by the reports which now reach us, well authenti cated, which show that the damage to the cotton, nee and sugar p'anta tions is not near so great as the first reports lead us to believe. Comparatively few p'antaiions were so badly injured as to compel their abandonment. In the lied Hiver country, in the valleys of the Talla hatchie and Yazoo the croiis have been replanted where found neces sary, and the prospect for good crops, although somewhat late, are good. The accounts of losses were greatly exaggerated, and in the parislies of Lafourche and St. Charles, reported entirely destroyed, the cro arc vigorous and give the best of promise. From the re ports now received from everv quarter, it is believed that neither the cotton, sugar or rice crops will be reduced sufficiently to effect in the slightest degree the home or foreign markets. The great loss to the south was the destruction of stock and agricultural implements swept off by the flood. There would seem to be no cause for an advance in cotton goods. until von mav he led In Mnifutm. with Oil nil tin. 1.1,1.1. .....I i....: - .u .... .ii'i null riMmi-IHMll Ml UK! which it based its attacks, and its l-'raiM' "''I pafmist -Yea. though I i . i walk through the valley of the shadow reck.esness las, not infrequently, led of death.
