The election ' news from New Hampshire- should cmne a glow of satisfaction tonnimatetbeheartsof ev ery lover of his country. Only last fall Grant carried the State ly over 5,006 majoril yf and now we have the gratify ing intellegence that t the general 'ection last week the contest was o close between the candidates for Governor that it will probably re quire the action of the Legislature to decide the choice of. a Chief Magistrate. The Democrats carry two of the three Congressional Districts,- and the election of the Repub lican in the other District is claimed by only a small , majority. This gratifying intelligence indicates that at length the people are awaking to a knowledge of the crimes of the Ad ministration party, and are determin ed to rebuke them. The rottennness and corruption of the Radical fabric are undermining its own foundations, and its complete decay and destruc tion is now only a question of a very abort lapse of time. The party has been continually asking for "more rope." and the people have given them all they demanded, and now they are literally "hanging themselves" with it. The Custom house frauds, the elec tion bribery developments, the Credit Mobilier stealings and other jrreat crimes which have-in the last few months been irrefutably saddled npon that corrupt party, by its own wit nesses, have been too much for the heretofore hoodwinked and deceived people to longer tolerate, and now a day of reckoning is dawning, the first gray streaks of which may be seen in the virdict of the Old Granite State last week. Connecticut holds her election on the first Monday in April, and we confidently hope for similnr tidings from the gallant De mocracy of that always hotly con tested field . -The platform of the New' Hamp shire Democracy, upon which they last week made such a gallant fight against their powerful moneyed ap poneut, was based uon these words of the immortal Jefferson words which we think combine in the fullest sense all the great principles of that party which has ever been the truest friend of a Republican form of Gov ernment: Let the National Government be intrnsted with the defense of the na lion and its fore"gn and Federal re lations; the State government with the civil rights, laws, police, and administrations of what concerns the State generally; the counties with the 1 i -e . 1 ' - 1 . v living jm.

It is by dividingand subdividing these rt-publics from the great national 'one down through all its fuWdina tions, until it ends in the administra tion of every man's farm by himself; by placing under every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will le done for the best. What has destroyed liberty and the rights of man in every government which has ever existed under the sun? The generalizing and concentrating all tares and powers into one body." Correct. The S. Y.Alta applauds the "pluck and patriotism" of Webb and HolJaday, in running a line of Ocean steamers f rom tliat city; to Australia without receiving a hure subsidy from our Government, to which the San Francisco ' Clironicle makes the following eminently correct and appropriate reply: "VYhat the Alia says about the pluck and patriot ism of this steamer line's owner is all liosh and nonsense. There is no consid er m km of either pride or patriotism. It is a question of cold coin. of simnle profit and los; and to assume that any higher consideration impels a wuiu.nusi t-mei jrisc is lusuan ana slobber. If Webb can make money uy ins line he will run jt. He .may run it for a time to prospect the , busi ness, but the moment he is eotwineed " that it will lose money he will with draw it. He would do so if he knew that the result of the act won sink either of the continents he was not on.

Dufiir, Acting Centennial Com missioner for Oregon, call your atten tion to the Act of Congress, of March 3, 1871, "To provide for celebrating the One Hundredth Anniversary of American Independence, by holding an Industrial Exhibition of arts, man ufactures, and products of the soil and mines," at the city of Philadelphia in the year 1870." It is intended by appro priate ceremonies to celebrate the completion of jthefirst century of . bur Republic, on the sitcof its birth, and amidst Hcenes hallowed by the early struggles and triumphs of freedom. Suitable grounds are already provid ed, and capacious and magnificent buildings are to be erected, in which to exhibit onr national progress since our birth into the family of nations ; setting forth the natural and industrial resources of the country, their devel opment, .and our progress in the arts that benefit mankind, in comparison with those of older nations. The exhibition will remain open from the 15th of April to the middle of October. All the nations of the earth are invited to participate in the privileges of the exhibition, which will thus be made a grand panorama of the world's progress. Millions of our own citizens, millions of other nations, will be attracted to this mag nificent spectacle the first Industrial Exhibition in honor of Republican Government; the world bringing gar lauds to adorn the law of liberty, on the first centenary of her highest achievement. This unprecedented oc casion will doubtless arouse the spon taneous enthusiasm, pride and grati tude of our entire nation ;' will he the era of good feeling and palbeti union, and will.be attended by a more impressive grandeur than has ever heretofore been witnessed in our own, or even in other lands. The preliminary preparations and general direction of the Exhibition is confided by law to a Board of Commissioners, consisting of one' person from each State and Territory chosen by their respective. Governors. A grand Mock company has been formed, the Body Corporate known as the Centennial Board of Finance, to terminate w hen the object of its creation shall be accomplished. The, corporation consists of the persons named in the Act and their legal suc cessors, being two members for each U. S. Senator .and one for each Con gressman and delegate. The capital stock shall not exceed $10,COO,00, and is divided into shares of $10 each, and apportioned to the States and Territories in the ratio of population. Two dollars in currency is to be paid on each share taken, at the lime of subscription ; not more than two dol lars per share shall be assessed at any time, and 90 days notice given in each case. The receipts of the Exhibition will largely reimburse the fund, and me nonor oi me nation win be in pledge fdr the redemption of every liability incurred, so that it is improb able that the fall amount of the sub scription will ever be called for. " Par ties properly authorized to take sub scriptions will visit the different parts of the county with subscription books properly, authenticated, and ; all moneys will be paid over to W. S. Ladd, Esq., of Portland, the Treasurer of the Commission for Oregon. ' !A handsomely engraved certificate will be issued to every stock holder, bearing the signatures of the President and U. S. Treasurer; these will be transferable under rules and regulations to be made known, and will entitle the holder to the privi leges of the Exhibition. ,-At the close of the Exhibition all the property of the corporation will bo sold and the proceeds and other unexpended income will be divided to the stockholders. Other International Exhibitions have yielded a net ' income and we may reasonably expect for, this the highest , pecuniary success. . Oregon has allotted to her 2,000 shares, S00 to be "taken in Linn county. The prospect is that over one-third of the amount will be taken in the city of Albany. . - ' r . , ,' The Executive Committee will take measures to address the people of the different sections of the county at an early day, : . ., - n.

J. IV. lialdtcin, Esq., Canyon City, Oregon, Sir: I desire to emigrate to your State and hope you will favor me with a description of the land in your county, its production facilities, for raising stock, price, amount it will produoo per acre, timber, climate, and in short such general information ns will be of use to me in the selection of a future home. Is there a railroad in operation in your county, or a pros pect of one shortly? If you have a county paper, please send me a copy I enclose Rtamp for same. Awaiting a reply at your earliest convenience, I am, yours very respectfully, i IlEjfRf P. WlLKERSOX. Albany, Linn Co., Oregon, March 15,1873. Henry I1. Wilkerson, Esq., Mayfield, Kentucky, ' - 1 , Sir: Yours of February 5th, for warded to me hero from Canyon City, came to hand on yesterday. s You ex press a desire to emigrate to Oregon, and desire information in regard to the soil, productions, facilities' for transportation, etc., etc. I ant pleased to learn that there are are aome de siring to avail themselves of our mild and salubrious climate, rich soil, ex haustless forests, nnparalled . water power for propelling machinery, and the unbounded pastoral resources of this State; and, I might add, its in exhaustable mines of coal, iron, gold, silver, cinnabar, and copper. Your letter was addressed to mo at Canyon City, which is in Grant coun ty, in what is known as " Eastern Or egon," i, ., East of the Cascade range of Mountains. Since closing my Sen atorial term in the Legislative Assem bly of this State, I have changed my location, am now permanently located in the Willamette Valley. The char acteristics of the two sect fens of coun try arc as distinat as the range of Mountains that divide them yet, there are resources that arc common to both; both have great pastoral're sonrces but this is the marked char acteristic of Eastern Oregon, com bined with which are its gold, silver, cinnabar and copper minerals: it has, also, agricultural lands very pro ductivequite sufficient in its produc tions of grain, hay and vegetables for home consumption; and so far as test ed, the ciimate is well adapted to the growth of fruits of all kinds raised in the temperate zone. Eastern Oregon is a mountianous country, in which are a number of mines, lakes, and large and fertile valleys; the" foothills and mountain sides arc covered with a jrreat abundance of the most nutri-j ttous grasses. 1 hero are no tailroaus in Eastern Oregon, except around the ; several portgages on the Columbia river. One is in contemplation with good prospects of final consummation from Portland on the Willamette, via Dalles on the Columbia, to Salt Lake. The climate in Eastern Oregon is healty and attractive. I have seen the mercury indicate as low a temper ature in south east Missouri, lat. -71, as at Canyon City, Grant county, Ore gon lat. 44JV A to the price of lands in the section of country now nnder consideration, I will say there is yet government lands to pre-empt. Improved lands, perhaps, can be pur chased at from $5.00, to 825.00 per acre, according , to character of im provement proximity to market, etc. Yon now have an imperfect bird s eye view or eastern uregon. w e no w turn to the country lying west of the Cascades, which embraces the Willamette Valley, the coast range of mountains and the western slope of the latter range, including another im portant subdivision of the State, viz., "Southern Oregon,"' including the counties of Jackson and Josephine, similar, I am informed in. all respects to the country I have described, ex cept, perhaps, it contains a larger pro portion of agricultural lands. The Willamette is a large and fertile val ley.;. Its pastoral resources being ex hausted only in , proportion to. the land brought under actual cultivation. The soil and . climate bting well adopted to the growth of all the cere als (wheat being the chief grain for export ;) also to the growth of all kinds of vegetables and fruits, peaches excepted. The valley is interspersed with prairies, skirted with dense for ests of pine, fir, oak, ash and maple timber and cedar on the mountain sides. The average yield of wheat in this -valley is about 23J bushels per acre oats 45 and barley something more, and this I think ' will apply ,to the other sections of the State.' The climate in this y alley is milder, but more humid than :, the other portions referred to ice at no time the past winter- attaining the thickness of half an inch in this city. ' The' water pow er of Oregon, if properly utilized, is sufficient to drive all the manufactur ing1 machinery in the United , States for the next half century. ' - ' '.V, As to railroads, we have two in this valley. , The Oregon & California R. R. is now in operation from East Portland south to Roseburg, in Doug las county. The Oregon Central R. R. oa the west side of the Willamette rirer is 'completed for some forty miles from Portland south, and work continuing both roads south will, I aDorehend. be resumed this snrinr?. I know but little of the 8gricoltnral capabilities of the country on tho western slope of the coast range of mountains. It is there, however, where most of our ooal fields are de veloped; most of our mills for manu facturing lumber for export and ship building are to be found. Our moun tains abound in wild game deer, mooso,elk; our valleys with duuks, geese, quails, pheasants and grou.io, in all parts of the State, and our lakes and rivers abound in fish of the finest quality, and quite a trade is being built up by the cultivation of oysters in our shoal, water bays and inlets. You will receive last week's State Riout3 Democrat, published here, and I will at the earliest possible day forward a pamphlet now published or about being published, giving more in detail the information you desire. I havo neglected to say that tho opening of tho falls of the Willamette river at Oregon City by a Canal and Locks, which enterprise was com pleted and accepted on the 1st of Jan uary, 1873, is likely to revolutionize the freighting business to .and from the different shipping points in this valley. J. W. Baldwik. Th e Herald makes the following sensible sngestions in regard to our lame militia law: Oregon has urgent need of a law to encourage and support her militia sys tem. At present hery citizen soldiers receive little or no support from the State. The laws upon this subject are faulty. They do not cover it in a proper manner. At the same time, they are not enforced to a proper ex tent. Much of tho tax levied is not collected, and what is gathered is clipped ' too closely by those per forming that duty. The result is that but a small amount remains for the several companies of soldiers in the State Some of them do not receive a dollar per year, while the amount paid to others will not cover their armory expenses. The other costs of the military organization falls upon individual members, many of whom are not able to bear such a tax. The result is, that young, active men, just starting in life, are deterred from join ing military companies, and the whole system becomes weak, lifeless and inactive. With a proper militia sys tem this city would put into the streets on parade days five hundred ot as well disciplined soldiers as ever shouldered a musket. At the present lima we have not one-third that num ber of effective troops. The fault lies in the system, not in jhe people, and hence tho necessity for a change in the militia law of the State. The two steamers which wcro sent out in search of the lost vessel Geo. S. Wright, have returned to Victoria, and report that not a sign of the wreck was seen, nor a survivor found or beard. It is now settled that she has gone down at sea with all on board. The following is a correct list of the passengers: Major Walk c-r and wife. Lieutenant Dodge, Chos Waldron, Charles Kincaid, Jobr Willams.a solditr Lamed Sinchiemcr, a Mr. Hogan and son, a cooper from Kalvok, Dams unknown; a French man, name unknown. So it seems that Hon.
