C o r r e s p o n d e n t o f the La Grande Sentinel from this city writes: “ By the way, “ Shep,” o f the Bedrock, has purchased the Herald material, or rather somebody has for him. Some very self-important, but really small Demo cratic politicians was fearful the Herald would fail into Democratic but independ ent bauds. Forthwith they back-up the old man with their names as security,and to-day “ Shep” has got an elephant on his hands. Whether he will start some good Republican in business, or publish “ my two papers, both weekly,” is not yet fully determined. But the wisdom of old Bed rock is of such a Character that what lie does will be done with the best of m o tives. “ Shep,” I am informed, lias al ready started for the “ big Waliamet” to make some of those ambitious politicians “ come out” with a 50-cent piece for his canipaign Bedrock; sucoess_attend him .” G r e a t R a c e .— We learn from the La Grande Sentinel tnat the long talked of race between the celebrated racers “ Tom Benton” o f Walla. W alla, and “ Wild Wea sel” ol Baker City, has been matched to come off over the Union County Agricul tural Society race course, near La Grande, on Saturday, Oct. 2d. Messrs. Ross and Sturgill met here by appointment on last Wednesday, andenteied into an agree ment in regard to this long talked of and anxiously looked for contest, with mutual satisfaction. The race is to be a half m ile d a s h ,80 lbs. up, for $1,000 coin—$500 a side. Each side put up $200 forfeit, play or pay. T e r r i b l e A c c i d e n t . —On last Thurs day John Hanlan, au employe of th James Gordon ledge, situated about five miles from Baker, came into this city in ^reat haste and alarmed the citizens by announcing that the waste dirt from the stoping had gave way, carrying Thomas Cosgrove to the bottom of the shaft, a distance of 120 feet. Hanlau said he spoke to Cosgrove, wbo was at the bottom of the shaft, and he said he was badly „hurt, and that a piece of timber was lying across his neck so hi could not move. A large party of men immediately started for the mine, eager to render aii the assistance in their power. After working some twelve or fourteen hours they succeeded in get ting him out alive, and brought him to this city. D^.' Atwood, his physician, in formed us yesterday that he, Cosgrove was getting aJ|ong finely.

It was con sidered one o f the safest banking institu tions in the United States. The effects of the failure will be felt iu every mining camp on the Coast.

The Stage Company have good stock, pleasant and easy coach- es to ride in, and careful and accommoda ting drivers. Walla Walla is improving some, and can brag on having one of the finest and best kept hotels east of the Cas cade Mountains. The Railroad from Wal- lula to Walla Walla is completed and running to within ten miles of Walla Walla, and is now carrying immense quantities of wheat and flour to the Co lumbia River for shipment to the lower country. Messrs. Baker & Boyer deserve great credit for the energy and persever ance they have displayed in the building of this road. On our arrival at the Dalles I was in formed of the failure of the Bank of Cali fornia. The news arrived here this even ing by telegraph. This is a severe finan cial blow to the Pacifle Coast. The Umatilla House, at this place, is crowded to-day with strangers. The land lords understand their business, and make their guests all feel at home.
