conditional .Union jnon iwere-rcadyHo'iguN

a heavy stroke nnd n gloomy night for
these desponding souls. They had no Inn
uungc that indieuted u glimmering, future
hope, unless it was thnt foreboding, yet
philosophic declaration, full of wisdom and
benevolent regret for the stolidity of others,
"I told j on so."
For the benevolent purpose of relieving
the crushing weight of despondency resting
upon these patriotic souls, we have given
below the names nnd cnlih?r of the iron
elnds still above Vieksburg. Cuiro, 16

Cheat Catastroimik ! The news from
Josephine County has the scent of paint,
varnish and bad whiskey in it. The en
chanting book-vendor got on n glorious
bender. Dame rumor has it thnt the mys
tery which has so long enveloped the desti
ny of the fair authoress has been solved,
cxposi d, precipitated nnd varnished. We
nro authorized to state that the bonk is
ready, nnd the subscribers of this town
can be supplied by calling upon the au
thoress. The last chapter in the nutobi
ogrnphy of tho " Queen of the Forest," has
been written, nnd it is rich, racy, and re
plete with thrilling incidents. 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

Suicide. A correspondent of the Ore

returning at night, search was made, and

Ki;rkka. Johnson k Co., mining on

on Wednesday Inst, found nestled in the

weighing nine ounces. Had this been

do yon suppose it would have weighed?
