The Owyhee Avalanche of June 24th says,
the mineissituated near Baker City, Orogon,
and is at present attracting considerable at
tention both at home and abroad. The ore
is entirely of a gold bearing character, the
bullion being 940 fine and worth §19,50 per
ounce. The Company have a magnificent
20-stamp mill in close proximity to the
mine. The ore is run from the mine direc
tly into the mill, which does away with the
expense of hauling. Mike Hyde, formerly
o f Fairview, is Superintendent of the Virtue.
He is a gentleman of extensive practical ex
perience in quartz mining, and we predict
that he will have the Virtue on the list of
dividend-paying mines as soon as he gets it
in proper shape for yielding ore. Mr. Hyde
passed through here on his way home from
San Francisco a couple of days ago, and in
formed us that he has a new and complete
set of heavy hoisting machinery on the way.
He shipped it from San Francisco to Port
land and thence up the Columbia to Uma
tilla, from which place it is being brought
up by teams to Baker City. By that route,
the freight from San Francisco to Baker
■City is only 4 h cents per pound. As soon
.as the new hoisting works are ready for op
eration, the sinking of a new shaft will be
commenced 500 feet east of the ledge on the
surface, which will tap it at a depth of 1,500
feet. The ore taken out of shaft, winzes
and drifts, without any stoping, very nearly
paid the expenses-oi working the mine dur
ing the past winter. The schute of pay-ore
is known to extend at least 1,200 feet along
the ledge, and when it is properly opened
And stoping commenced, big bullion ship
ments are expected, The m inéis splendid
ly situated for working. Living is cheap,
and wood only costs §5 per cord delivered at
the mill and mine.

GRANGERS.
The follow ing resolutions were unani
m ously adopted by the General Council
of the P. of H ., of Eastern Oregon, Eastern
W ashington and Idaho Territory, which
assembled at W alla W alla on the 7th In
stant, and adjourned after four days ses
sio n .
R e s o l v e d , That it is the opinion of the
. representatives of the subordinate Gran
ges of Eastern Oregon, Eastern W ashing
ton and Idaho Territory in General Coun
cil assembled, that the building of locks
around the Cascades and the Dalles of the
Colum bia River by the General Govern
m ent, is the only feasible means for open
ing up the settlement and profitable cu lti
vation o f the vast and beautiful tracts o f
productive agricultural country lying be

quested to use all honorable means con
sistent with the organization o f the Pa

legislation; and the president and secre

O regon .— The Port
land Bulletin says, wearied by a long journ
ey, and arriving in a strange land, the im
migrants in all parts of the State should be
liberally dealt with, until they can become
settled. A majority of those coming to
Oregon this Spring are able to buy lands or
engage in other business, but will of course
take time to look about tbem before em
barking in any permanent undertaken. All
old settlers who desire the settlements of the
unoccupied districts should render these
strangers all the aid they can in giving reli
able information that may lead to advanta»-
geous settlement and investment of capital.
There is also a class of immigrants who
come hers depending upon their labor for a
livelihood, that should be aided as far as pos
sible. A good impression make oil these
coming this year will be the best advertise
ment of the ¡State which can possible be
sent abroad.

A terrific storm swept over Kansas, Mis
souri and Illinois, last Sunday, destroying
property and crops. A Kansas City dispatch
of the 21st says: The most terrific storm
since 1844 visited this section on Sunday
night and lasted four or five hours. The
rain poured down in torrents. Several
houses in this city were struck by lightning
and several unroofed. Immense damage
was done to the streets and many cellars
■were flooded. The storm extended over
the country for an area of fifty or more
miles to the south-west. The damage done
to farmers is very great. Fences and bot
tom lands are submerged and damaged.
Railroads suffers 1 severely-
The Memphis Appeal, a Democratic or
gan says; I f the result of the next Presi
dential election depends upon the prudence
of the South, the victory is already won; for
our people area unit in proclaiming that
secession is dead; slavery is dead; that the
Confederacy has expired; that no one propo
ses to exhume its remains; that w-e dismiss
ail our resentment and proposed to cherish
no recollection of the war, save the memory
of the brave men who reflected honor upon
Amorican valor.
President Grant recently purchased forty
thousand dollars worth of real estate in
Prince Gorge’s county, Maryland, a few
miles from Washington, to use as a stock
farm. He is preparing to retire, probably,
and will no doubt soon be enabled to devote
his entire time to breaking colts and train
ing dogs.
Wendell Phillips having said that Chica
go men have brains while St. Louis men do
not, Stanley Waterloo, of the St. Louis Re

as a sample happened to be standing on his
bead at the time, hence the orator’s natural
error.”

jacent villages were also destroyed with

account of the gold pi ospects there.
A n E ditoe ’ s A ppeal . —The following its
very applicable to this locality, and we hope
our delinquent customers will take it to
themselves and us.
“ As the report that we are very wealthy
has gone abroad among our subscribers,
and has made them awful slow about pay
ing up, thinking doubtless we don’ t want the
money, we hasten to say t ’ e report of our
wealth in falsa m, every "particular. I f ocean
steamers were selling at a cent a dozen, wo
couldn’ t make the first payment on a canoe.
The lightning of poverty has struck us
square, and had it not been for an armful
of bay our devil managed to steal from a.
blind mule, our large and in terestiftg family
would be without a mouthful to eat at this
moment, Is not this a sad picture, andean
you delinquent subscribers look upon it
without feeling the greenbacks rustle with
indignation in yo.tr pocket-books? Wo do
not like to dun you, but we must if you fail
to take the hint.” —Shenandoah (Ya.) Dem
ocrat.
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
_ Men who. are still full o f the fury of tbs
civil war are ten times more mtrnerous at
the North than at the South. As for the
people generally of the latter section, they
have settled down on their land and in their
business, and only ask permission to live,
raise crops and buy Northern goods. Now
and then some unforgiving fire-eater can be
found: some man who lost all he had and bur
ied all his kin in the struggle—but as a rule
they are few indeed. It has been the fash
ion to represent Jefferson Davis as a malig
nant malcontent and to typify the unsatis
fied Southerners in. hlra. He has been term
ed the great irreconcilable. Mr. Davis
has taken his own tune in which to vindi
cate his position and reply to his revilors.
His recent speech in Texas has come to cov
er them with confusion. In these remarks,
which emanated,be it remembered, from a
man who still carries, in his body the Mex
ican bullets he received while fighting under
the flag of the United States, Mr. Davis ex
horted his hearers to show hereafter a fideli
ty to that flag as sincere and devoted as they
had shown to that of the beloved and de
parted Confederacy. Thus it is that even
before the Slier man a, the Logans and the
Butlers ot the North have moderated the ex
pression of their frenzied sectional animosi
ty, +lie chief of the fallen Confederacy gives
token of his good will, of his final acquies
cence in the inevitable. We shall probably
never bear Jefferson Davis called “ truly loy
al,” but, after this, it will scarcely be in or
der to call him “ traitor.”
t T he
G range . —The headquarters of the
National Grange of the Patrons of Hnnban-
drv, which have been located at Waslrngton
City since its organization, will probably bo
removed to Louisville, Kentucky, in a short
time. At the la-1 annual session of the Na-
tinoal Grange in Charleston (S. C.) in Feb
ruary last, the Executive Committee was
charged with the seh etion of a new location
for headquarters in one of five Western
States named—the change to be made with
in six months from the 1st o f March last.
The Committee, it is understood, after duo
investigation selected Louisville as the most
eligible, location. Kentnckey stands No. 5
as regards the number of Granges, having
but 1,559. Indiana heads the list with 2,02 f
Grangers; Missouri, 2,COG; Iowa, 2,004; m i
n'is, 1,484; and Kentucky, 1,559. The total
number of Granges in the United States is
23,500, with an estimate aggregate member
ship o f 150,009. The totai receipts of the
Order from 1868 to 1871, inclusive, were less
than §15,0C0, while the receipts for last year
were §216,381. The Order at present "has
§69,000 invested in Government bonds and
§19,000 in cash on deposit at the Financial
Agency in New York."
