Eastern OrrcQU, The following- letter, dated Wat in Xtouti' Spring, January 7th, 13 (roaj the tahuer : Since nsy last communication I have been to the falley of the Ochoco. I ex pected to find aMnall tract f land Ijfinp: alon;; the banks of some little mountain stream and abcut enough of it for fume fifteen or twenty families to fiud 1uiiich upon; but instead, I found the Ochoci vaiiev to tje a lare and Jcrtik? one. with innumerable little val'ev- openintr into it. and room for huodred. at' tarn.,. And taken iuto connection with the vaUey m Crooked river, into which the (Jchoco. opens, there in as much fanuiut; laud u in Hentoo county, Oregon. I have been over IJoie and, riette val- eys. ana nave no nesuation in nayin that there is more tillable laud in Ochoco and Crooked river valleys than there if in both of the others. The valley is covered with tall rye grass. and vieweJ from the hills, looks like one Croat oat field, while the hills have an abundance of bunch grasn upon them. Juniper tree can be had within one half mile from any farm, and will have to be used for firewood, while fir or pina can be obtained within eiht miles of the most distant farui and generally within two miles of the valley, all the wav dowci. Deer and beaver are very plenty, while prairie chickens and grouse are abundant. The cayufesare very numerous at present, but by the use pi powder they cau soon be exterminated. There are at present six mi wintering there. Mr. Burkbart, one of the most influential and wealthy citizens of Oregon, is among them. Mr. Burkbart came to Oregon in 184Q, and has seen Oregon raise from a barren waste to her present proud position. The following named jrentlemen re also old pioneers of Oregon and men that any country should be proud to own, viz : Mr. Barnes, lur. Burkhart, jr., Mr, Smith, Mr. Clay pool and'Mr. White. They havo made sqver al thousand rails and built three houses, bnt onlv occudv two of them on account of fear ot the Snake Indians. They are well armed and would prove a match for anv band of Snakes that are liable to at tack. There was a party of four men with me. They all located claims and expect to re turn there early next spring. The climate is very pleasant. I he In dians say snow fall during the night but j,oes off the next day. Snow fell while I was there to the depth or about two incn- es, but was gone in less than a half a day after falling,-while the snow nas Deen about six inches deep at this .Agency during the same time. The road will al ways be payable by going around Dy Hrooked river. We went an old Indian trail across a spur of the Blue mountains and thus made a cut-off of about ten miles. Uomintr home we found the snow very deen on these mountains, but managed to v . , come. through it. The distance from here to tho Ochoco valley by the trail iTl.ear forty-five miles, ind by the Klatuath.nd Lebanon roads, about fifty five miles. -From Albany, 'Oresrori. to Ochoco valley, by the Leba non road, the distance isiustcne hundred aud forty miles.

And adds to the aristocrat's glittering dust. It is collected in every conceivable shape by direct and indirect taxation and in thi gathering of direct Federal revenue. Every two millions paid in, one million goes to pay the assessors and collector and their assistants; "red tape" must be kept up, aod while the farmer toil in the burning sun, and the mechanic sweats in -his shop, and the minor, with his little lamp, era runs his joints in the narrow limits of his bank, the a.Hcor, with his aristocratic air, seated upon a crimson sofa, gives in orders to half a dozen a&stunts tho work of one, and, in turn, these fledgling aristocrats, rested in fiue carriages, behind costly horse aud silvci -mounted harness, go from door to door and farm to farm, potting on more airs than a French dan cing matcr, and with more pomposity than brains graciously condescend to in form you that the bondholder wants the interest on a noto he holds, which you never gavethat the edges of his scissor are ruiiiug. and that nothing but the clip pinir of ''coupons" will restore their orig inal brightness and he books you for a portion of the bill. While this. is going on before your face, a tliodsand miles away there is another fhark preparing to rob you. This is the Custom llu-c officer, a portly old thief, who walks with a t.M.ive guld headed ?anc. He is lidding, through his subor dinate (a set of long, lean, Uuk, bandy legged wretches, like Shakejtcar'a apoth ecary, in Houico and Juliet) a few cents n every pound of your ugar, rice, coffee, tea. etc., two ccnt for the govern men t, that is two for the bund. bolder, Jacobin policy, negro bureau an i darkey educa lion two for hitaelf!

If vou want to open up the Southern market, where you can feed twelve mill ion people with your produce, you must turn out of office every Jacobin offico holder, and stop those leaks in the pub lic treasury. If the Democracy get in power in the government, l hey will reduce the. tariff tax on all you eat, drink and wear. They will restore tho Union, and turn over all Southern States expenses to be paid bv the South alone. We will turn out and abolish ten thou sand abolition Freed man's Bureau office holders, and save millions of dollars in the people s pockets. We will bid the South support them selves, and go to raising cotton and su gar, and we will continue to raise produce to feed them. We will pay the public debt in the same jcurrency wc pay you, and the name you pay each other; and thus save mill ions more in the pockets of the people.

We will leave each State to govern it self, limited only by the Federal constitu tion. We will reduce tho army in the South, and send them to the plains . to protect the frontier and the new routes to the far West. We will restore commerce, trade, peace aud good-will between the North and the South. . We will reduce the taxes, both Stat and National.

Two of the "big una" irom iu;uiyi jir. jjaiton ana Jir.

They evidently betrayed a want of confidence in the "little uns" of thi nrecinct in beintr able to organize a club to meet the re quirements at headquarters. It is re ported that eight or ten of the "laith- UP were present, and the secrecy and slyness exhibited on the occasion brought to mind the days when Know nothiiigistn flourished. The party aro evidently betraying many secret mis- iivmgs as to the future. Hie rad lereaboiits are dumb, while the Dem ocrats are jubilant. As soon as the ) resent inclement weather moderates. a call will will be made for the Demo crats of this precinct to organize.
