Were it not for the barbarism of copy-right we would give it in full. Exeunt oinnes. Waoon Roam. We nrc informed thnt quite n number of enterprising citizens of this valley are resolutely nt work, owning up u wagon road to the Northern gold Gelds by wny of Rogue River. All right! Hopo their labors may be crowned with abundant success. The Rugne River route, in the very nature of the case, must be shor ter tlinn any other proposed route. Like sensible men, they are determined to demon strate its practicability ns a wngon wuy. Let this be done and thero need be enter tained no fenrs of any rival route. Again we say : success to the spirit of public en terprise that seems to bo awakening all around. Fur. John Portkr This recreant Gen. eral, lately trird by nn impartial court-innr-tiul, for disnbedieneo of orders on tho field of battle, found guilty, cashiered and dis missed the service in disgrace, has found his proper place in tho bosom of the Northern Democracy. This is what they nu an by n vigorous prosecution of the war ! Does an expedition fail through the treachery or disobedience of an officer high in command ?t lie administration is re sponsible I Is this officer tried and con victed by an impartial military court? ho is received into the embraces ol the De mocracy, feasted, toasted, loinized by them as a martyr! Out upon such hypocrisy. Quartz Lkads. Rich and entensivc quart, leads have lately been discovered in this county. Excitement is on tiptoe, and dreams of wealth created that would put to blush the talcs in tho Arabian Nights. One of the leads lately discovered is on the land claim of Mr. Swinden, in tho vicinity of Rogue River. It prospects richly. The lead is large nnd well defined, and gold is visible in much of the quartz. The coun try is claimed for quite a distance around. Another lend said to bo very valuable has been discovered, in the same vicinity, by Messrs. Ish and Plymales. A large num ber of persons aro prospecting for quartz in tho mountains. UitinoF.s. There are now two substan tial bridges across Rogue River. One near Evansville, the other near Mr. White's. The upper bridge is owned by Chavener & Co., the lower one by White & Co, Mr. Chuvener'a bridge was built first, and he claims priority of right and exclusive privilege! under the charter of the " Rogue River Bridge Co." This is disputed by White & Co, and, as a natu ral consequence, the tbiog'bai Jwaohung up to dry io Chancery. Stratkoy by Volunteers. It has been generully noticed by our citizens that the soldiers of Co. C, at Camp Raker, arc re markably quiet, well-behaved men.) The best of fccliapl exists between them innd our citizens; This is thdftnore remnrkabloi from the fuct that, for sixteen months' ser vice, they have not, as yet, received tony pay. True, they ure comfortably quartered at Cnmp Raker, nnd the inner nnd outer man welt provided for ; but the lack of money necessarily deprives them of many little articles they desire. Their greatest punishment, however, is in being nimble nt till times to have within "support ing distance " n " longitudinal chunk of the pure Virginia weed " the staple luxury of the American soldier, suitor and citizen. It is said that n sailor will sell his lust shirt for a chew of tobacco, nnd it not surprising that a soldier should bnrtcr his boots for a whole pound of the coveted urticle. Not long since, n soldier of Co. C struck u trade with Gcrmun in Phccnix, exchang ing his boots for a pound of tobneco. This Germun is proprietor of a gingerbread bakery and nlso trades in tobacco, whisky, lager, etc. The soldier returned to camp, indifferent to the consequences of appearing on drill the next morning without his boots, ns he rolled a sweet morsel of tho luscious luxury under his tongue. His companions were apprised of his luck by n generous division of the tobacco. As the tohucco went round, n mischievous genius proposed a plan for reirainini: possession of the boots nnd having a good time generally. The plan wus ngreed to and carried out' in following manner : After tattoo, nt night, n corporal's guard of the men went to Pluonix, and posted themselves near the bakery. Ono of the party then went into the house, represented to the German that he was going to desert, and wanted to sell his overcoat. After some bartering, the German agreed to give him a can of whis ky and a five dollar greenback for the coat. Tho trudo being made, nnd the woman of the house kindly furnishing him with eutnbles to sustain him on his lonely way, he sturted for the door, his appearance in front of which, in his shirt-sleeves, wus the signal for t lie self-constituted guard to ar rest him, which they quickly did, nnd rush ing into the house, demanded the cout. The thoroughly uhirmed lugcr-beerinn has tened to hand over not only the ennt but the boots also. He protested that he had not bought the articles ; thnt the soldier had just Itjt tlitm there; and to conciliate the guard, he liberally treated all to whis ky, lager, gingerbread, etc. Of course, as tho German had not bought anything, it would not do for tho soldier to criminate him by returning the whisky and green hack. After refreshing themselves nt the the expense of the libeinl baker, tho party returned to camp, gloriously, drunk, and singing a patriotic song. The guard was culled out, and tho whole party lodged in theguurd-houso until morning, when Cnpt. Kelly, after hearing the fuels, released them, evidently satisfied that such a trick could not be played twlco in the same com munity. Conoukjs. This body, we should jndgo from the proceeding published, hns gruntul the President all the power ho wanted. Among the acts passed, was one author izing the President to graut letters of marque. We believe they will bo more terrible in the defense of tho blockade than any other means that could be adopted. Unloose tho dogs of wnr, wo Fay, and let them devour the illicit commerce curried on between tho rebel ports and English vessels. Contradictory. The telegraphic .dis patch, of Wednesday night, says that the decision of the Supreme Court of the U. S., lately given in the New Almaden mine case, was against of the Government ; the dispath of Thursday night says the decis ion was in favor the Government. Under these circumstances, we suppressed both dispatches. The case involves about SGO,000,000. The mines in dispute. aro quicksilver mines. . .... .1.- m i .- Suicide. A correspondent of the Ore gonian, from Marion County, says that a son of Mr. II. Morton, about fourteen years old, residing near Belpassi, in said county, went from his fathers' bouse to cut wood, on the first of this month, and not returning at night, search was made, and be was found deadn-haviog bung himself with a.raW'kktottriag, j Oatiikiii.no In, Five of the Erricson batteries arc noaswmb!cd in the vicinity of Chorlcston thelMlimritak, Passaic, We llawkin.iNhhaht, nndi Panpsco.

Johnson k Co., mining on nn the right hand fork of Jackson creek, on Wednesday Inst, found nestled in the bed rock, on their claim, a golden slug, weighing nine ounces. Had this been found in the northern diggings, how much do yon suppose it would have weighed? Perhaps the Oregoman enn tell it is very shrewd on weighty mutters 1 Tiir Oregon Statesman.
