During the went cyclone in the Bay cl Bengal, the storm wive swept over Muii Iclshkol Island, drowning sevenil hundred persons. ' . Preparations for the shipment ot the obelisk to New York, Is causing consider able excitement at Alexandria, Kgyi.t, and great crowds of people assemble daily to watch the proceeding. ' ' o Gen. Jeff. C. Dnvi, Colonel of the 23d infantry. died at Chicago on the 30th u t., of pneumonia ot the lungs. Another g.il lant Union officer gntbered , to his long borne. . Mr. Flack, of tl e Umatilla agency, h.ia bsen missing for some time: He started tor Colfax aboi t three weeks ago and has not been heard of since. It i thought he baa been foully dealt with. A child without a brain was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, recently, according to the Knquiter ot that city. The unfortunate Infant lived but a lew minutes. Wonders never cease. The Courier Jovrntd of L,ouiville. gives a political sketch of. Senator Chandler, which it concludes thus .- He was a hjird one to tackle. He was a good? lighter. God be with him, and may he rest in peace t " - ' Tlie llwaco Canal and Kail way Compa ny has been incorporated to open a now transportation route to Shoal w ater Bay.

"We learn that it is the intention of the Methodist Mission to appeal from Judge Deady'a decision, to Uie Supreme Court ot the United States, in the cases decided against them in the matter of the Dalles ' land claim. Senator Don Cameron i eetf ing up a grand excursion ot members of both houses of congress , to attend Gen. Grant's recep tion in Philadelphia on the 16th inst. In view of this it is not improbable that con gress will adjonm over that date, audit H also very possible that the regular Christ mas recess may be-rande to commence on the loth inst. and continue three weeks. On last Friday evening, about 8 o'clock, ' the town of Cottage Grove. Lane county, suffered a loss in the destruction of the dry goods store of Lurch Bros., by fire, building and all its contents being con amed, "except about forty dollars' worth ot goods. It ia not known how the fire originated. A letter from General Grant to a New York legislative committee, announces tliat be- will -visit New York on the 29th of December, unless in the meantime he ac cept a pending Invitation to go to Havana yla Key West, starting southward abont tl 36th hist. In the latter case he will not visit New York until his return next spring from the West Indies. Win. Lair HOI, Esq., of the Dalles, a prominent ' lawyer, but better known, probably, as once editor ot the Oregonian, Is said to be a candidate for the Supreme Judgeship at the next election. We al ways had an idea that Lair preferred Con gressional honors. - jtccordlng to a Time's special tlie con tractors to Arizona have been detected in defrauding the Indiansand the Government by means of false weights and inferior sup plies. The discovery has created the greatest consternation among those inter ested, and a determined effort will be made to cover np the matter. It it be true that contractors have been guilty of defrauding as charged, let no means be spared to bring them to justice justice of the strictest and most searching kind. Spare uot. One James Clark has a long letter in the Salem Sbreurg in which be arraigns the authorities in very bitter terms for the manner In wbicb the Oregon penitentiary Is conducted. He enumerates a great many grievances of which the convicts have reason to complain and If the prison is such, a place as be describes, it is a " mighty good place to keep out of." The republicans in most ot the states win probably make no objection to the change In the laws of the several states so as to shitt the authority to choose preaiden tia 1 electors- from the people directlv to the legislatures of the respective states. It would make the choice of a republican for president next year almost a moral certainty. In that case the balance of the states would be against Indiana and the olid sooth. ' . ' " .

Scotland, says an exchange, to operate In the forest lands ot Oregon and Washington Territory, lor the purposes of utilising a j process of Rearing forests by stearh, intro- ! duced into Scotland a few years since. Tliis method i as follows : A traction en- tine of twelve horse power Is stationed some ditaiiee from the wood, and a wire chain is 4-tenert ti the tree. Steam is then put on and the tree is pulled forcibly by tiie root. Upward ol 000 trees per day of ten hour can be pulled out by this pro cess. The' comoany will commence oper ations with titty engines, which are now in'ii g inaiiiif'iclurcil for them, to lie lo cated and; worked i'l different sections of the country, ami it is calculated that, in the com.se of a few years, the whole Northwest' of the United Stated will be "cleared and ojened for settlement. Pauaina advice state that the storm ami freshet of the li)th ti't.rtiul subsequently, was ihe several r.ver known n the isthmus. The railroad was submerged over 30 miles. It may be two or three weeks lfore. trains can run through. . All the native villages ami river farms h'tjre lieen inundated. Live slock ol all descriptions wa swept away and drowned, and poor inhabitant wre left to starve. As soon as the news of the condition readied Aspinwall sub scriptions were misei aud sevenil Ikkhs of supplies sent out. hut reports came hack that the relief, though timely, was inade quate, and that to prevent starvation, further immediate help was necessary. Several bridges have been seriously injur ed. Many passengers are waiting transit at both ends of the route. Everj-thiug is confusion and uncertainty. Blaine is reported as having gained a good deal of strength recently in Xcw York, ami some of his friends are confident that lie can curry the delegation to the National Convention next year. On the other hand it is claimed that Conkling will dictate the choice of the New York dele gation, and that no nomination can be made that does not meet with his approba tion. It is believed that Grant is Conk- ling's first choice for the Presidency, but there is no known reason why he should oppose the nomination of Blaine, should die choice of the. Convention tall on him. Sherman has a strong following, but the signs of the times would seem to oiut out Blaine as the coining m.in, provided Gen. Grant is not nominated on the first ballot. I The Italians are laying out an immense amount of money in iron-clads and guns. The evident intention is if possible to dom inate in the Mediterranean at an early period in the future. A few days since the government ordered eight new 80-ton guns from the factory of Sir William Armstrong at a cost of $S0,000 each. They have also nearly completed an enormous Iron-clad, tlie largest in the world. It is 400 feet long. 73 feet wide. SO feet in depth at the bow and 55 at tlie stern, with solid inn arms ot twelve Inches. It is to he called the Italia, and will be armed witli these eight moi'Ster guns. The talins have never forgotten their ignominious defeat at sea by the Anstrians in their last war with that power, in which some of their finest iron-clad were destroyed by the wooden snips of the Kaiser. The panic of 1873 was ushered in by the failure of the great banking house of Jay Cooke & Co., as the panic ot 1S57 was by the failure of the Ohio Life & Trust Com pany. The latter Institution was never re-established ; but on the other hand, the house of Jay Cooke & Co. promises to be replaced upon as solid basis as ever. It is even busily engaged in prosecuting that colossal work, the Northern Pacific Rail way. But still better, it creditors are likely to receive the full amount of their claims. The asset of tlie Ann largely con sisted of bonds and stocks, the value of which shrunk to merely nominal amounts. These were divided prorata among the creditors ; now the hoK?tn! out'ok for the road, and the boom in stocks, have so ap preciated the value -of the stocks and bonds, that there is more money with which to pay the creditors than the bank rupts owed. Accounts from Egypt state that the government is actively completing prepa rations for war with Abyssinia. The war office at Cairo and the harbor ol Suez, where troops are to embark, are very ani mated. If hostilities are resumed the Egyptian forces will be divided into two armies offensive and defensive. Tlie for mer to be composed of 8000 men and the latter 12.000. The offensive army will be directed on the Egyptian harbor of Akko ner.r Adna, the capital of Abyssinia, and the defensive army will take up two. en trenched positions, one st Gazun near Rabdal river, and the other at Bahia on Bender river, thus commanding the two main roads of Abyssinia leading from tlie north to the Soudan. Gordon Pasha will command tlie defensive army. - The Dalles Jletboulat 3ZJsalon Cue. On Wednesday of last week Judge Deady In the U. S. Circuit Court, ordered a de cision In favor of the plaintiff in the three suits brought against the Methodist Mis sion at the Dalles. Following Is tlie sum ming up of the Com i : ' - The conclusion of the Court is that the defendant did not "occupy' the premises on August 1 1, 1848. nx t missinuaiy sta tion or oilierwise, cither by itself or the American Board, and that it was not de ferred from so doing by tins danrer from Indian hostilities, but voluntarily aban doned tlie same before September 10, 1847. without any intention or expectation of reocenpying it under any circumstances, and therefore the patent therefor to the defendant was wrongfully issued ; and the decree of the Court will be tliat the defend ant be declared a trustee for the several plalnttfis herein, for so much of tlie prem ises described in tbe patent as is claimed by them in their several suits, and that the defendant, within 00 days, by a sufficient conveyance or conveyances, containing proper covenants against Its own acts, to be approved by the the master of this court, release to the said plaintiffs accordingly all right and title to said premises, and that it pay the plaintiff's their coetaand expenses of suit. A census was made last year of tbe number of foreigners resident In China. This places the total number of foreign firms doing business' there at 351 and the total foreign population fit 4814.

She is now much better, ami no serious results are apprehended. The Astorian says that Oregon's exports average $37S annually, to every man in the State. Her wheat, wools, salmon, and fruits command from five to ten per cent, higher price than those from any other country. With a population of 150. 000 men her exports equals one-seventh of the total export of tlie United Sates. Mr. Stewart, who has but recently re turned from a trip to Chehalis. informs the Axtorian that the great want of tlie settlers over that way is better transportation facilities.

The Dayton Chronicle says that tins ac tivity of Railroad couianies, and the in flux of vast numbers ot immigrants seem to give promise of a dawn of proejierity over .the whole of Ea-tern Washington Territory. The extent and capabilities ot this region have hitiierto been but meager ly understood. With the constructions of railroads and the development of agricul tural resources, the outlook seems to prom ise a prosperity unknown since milling days. Dr. H. R.
