Harvest hands are in great demand. The

cereals there is from fair to good average
crops.
Do not fail to rcud President Lincoln's
reply to the New York Democracy. He
clearly shows his constitutional right to ar

the time not unlikely to come when he
shall be blamed for making too fewurrcats,
rather than too many.

t Will write you a few items from thihplucc.
Ihinnock cltv is situated In nnd nbont tho
lOrKH Ol l.llv UIIU wuuiu n nucnr, iiiuii.iuiir
of liaise River. It is one of the principal
mining camps of tho Ilolso Iilver Dasin. It
is a very prosperous place, and has a popu
lation of from two to three thousand peo
ple in, nnd dependent upon it for supplies.
IMacervillu stands next In importance, tho',
in point of improvements, population, rich
ness and extent of mines, it is perhaps not
behind this place, but suffers in comparison
for Want of water, with which element I
understand it will In due time be supplied.

Ceutervillc and Fort Hogum nro the other
towns of tho llasin, and are camps of no
small Importance. These mines, without
Ihelag generally fabulously rich, nro, I be
lieve, vcrage ounce diggings. But I would
not, by any means, Mr. Kdltor, have you
mctralfi A-., much less expect, that you
-could sit down anywhere here on an ounce
iper dleis. fronting two hundred feet on
Moore's or Klk creek, and extending back
4o the summit of tho Kooky Mountains on
the cast, or the JJluo Mountains on the
northwest. I happen to bo very well nc

would ha glad to do tfiat same thing him

wbhes, it only takes from five hundred to
twelve thouraml dollars to la establish him

The popalattou of the basiu, as near as

arc much higher. As your country is vi
tally interested In these mines. I give you
the following distances and points of the
compass, by which, in connection with your
maps, you will bo able to determine our
geographical position : Auburn, Powder
Uivcr, is 12.1 miles south of Walla Walla,
and these mines are lfiO miles southeast of
Auburn. I paid particular attention to
these mutters, noting, as I traveled over the
route, tirst, the tlnio of day and ttc direc
tlon 1 traveled with reference to the sun's
position, as often as every ten 'minutes, with
especial reference to tho Interests of Jack
son county. I learn that wc nro about scv-
euty-flve miles north and perhaps a very
little cast from Fort Moise. Sonthcrn Ore

open a trade with this market. Meantime,
rich digging" have just been fouud on the
tributaries of the Oyhcelltver,ono hundred
nnd seventyflvu miles south, while the
opinion guius ground, and sinks deeper in
the minds of men here, that west of us,
away up the .Malheur, and further on to
ward a beautiful country I wot of in and
about the Siskiyou Mountains, rich and
very extensive mines exist.

Dates to July Otli.
Chicknsuw Dayou. July .'Id. At 8
o'clock this morning a Aug of truce appear
ed before (Sen. .Smith's front, when the reb
el Miij. Gen. Roweu und Col. Montgomery
were led into our lines. They bore u com
munication from Gen. IVmberton to Gen.
Grant, of the following purport :
' Although T fiHl rnnflilnnt nf mv nlillltv
I to resist your urmi indcfiiiitelv, iu'ordcr to
"("P t'"-' further effusion of blood, I propose
t hut you appoint three commissioner to
meet those which I will send to arrange
such terms us may best uccomplisli the re
sult." Grunt replied substantially in these
words :
"Tho appointment of commissioners is
unncccssarv. While 1 should he glad to
i stop the ell'usiou of blood, the only terms I
'can cuterluin arc these: Unconditional
surrender. At the same time, mvself. olll
cers nnd men, uro ready to test ify
to the'
distinguished gallantry witli which tho de
fense of Vickebiirg bus been conducted."
At 10 o'clock the messenger returned.
I ins uiiernoon, in accordance witn a re
I be paroled nnd allowed rations from their
iwt iiikvii is tiiu ruitiiwir1 in kiik
I own storo to carry them to the Confederate
Hill's. In view of thu bravery ilisnlnveil
1.V ,nc'lc ,rooF iu0 advantages of the place,
nnd the condition of the enemy, Grant llnal-
ly consented to Pemhertnu's request. Tho
officers were each allowed a horso und ser
vant. The number of prisoners is 18,000.
Two-thirds of whom nro said to bo in good
condition. The immediate cnuso of the
surrender wns the exhaustion of supplies
and ammunition nnd the failure of Johnson
to coma to l'embertoifs relief.
Cairo, 8th. One division or our nrmy
wns marching into Vicksburg on tho -1th.
One of the reasons assigned for paroling
the prisoners are that Grunt had no trans
portation to send them North, nnd the
men could be used for a more important
mission than guarding prisoners.
Fortress Monroo, 7th. Thn steamer City
of Albany, from thu White Iloiibu (on thu
l'nmunky). arrived this morning. On tho
first, General Getty, with ten thousand men,
proceeded from tho White Housu to destroy
the remaining bridges over the South Anna
river. Ho returned having accomplished
mofei 01 nis mission satisfactorily.
Washington, 8th midnight. Messages
from Frederick (Md.), to-night, hay that in
formation that can bo relied on came from
the front this morning to tho following ef
fect : Tho Potomac has checked the pas
mgu of tho rebel army. A small portion of
Leo's transportation crossed ou rafts at
Wllliatnsport and Shcppardstown, and his
stock swam over. His ambulance train and
some wounded also crossed, but the supply
train, with cavalry, infantry und artillery,
arc on this side. His first line of battle has
been formed on Antlclam field. Should this
prove true ho will bo obliged to trust his
army to the arbitrament of another bloody
field. It is certain he cannot receive rein
forcements. Our forces nro gradunlly con
centrating in that direction. Our hopes
and proneets grow brighter every hour.

ick letter, dated yesterday morning, niys It
is no longer n question whether tho Poto
mac Is fordablc. hut whether any bridge tho
rebels have would stand Iwforo such n flood.
It nlso says" Lcc'b case' is most desperatelf
not hopeless. He has concentrated his
forces bv cverv available route. On Tues
day morning. Jhly 7fb. he planted batteries
on every road lry wliich we wero likely-to

Frederick. 8th. General French bus
been placed In eoniniand of the Third Army
Corps (Sickles'), which has iiccn largely re
inforced mid plnced in motion. It Is elated
upon relinlilu authority that. Loo has no al
ternative but to give battle or surrender.
About six hundred prisoners arrived to
day. This arrival, according to the state
ment of higher officers, swells the number
already reported to eleven thousand nnd
eight hundred.
Considerable ennnnnnidlng was heard In
the direction of Ilngcrstowu. It is believed
to be caused lty n cavalry attack on the en
emy's outposts.
Itnlfimore. 8lh. A special to tho Ameri
can, dated noon tn-dny, says: Tho no.l
tlon of tin) rebels nnd their condition have
been definitely nccrtniucd. Their infantry
lino has Itceri drawn across from Fuiikstown
(on Auttetnm creek) to Falling Water, Va.
behind this line they are making almost
superhuman efforts to get their trains,
stores nnd ammunition across the river.
The best military authority here nro al
most confident they have no pontoon
bridges nt Fulling Water. They nro now
crossing their horses ou boats, leaving their
wagon on this side, probably intending to
take them to pieces and cr.ry them ncro
ou canal boats. The opinion Is expressed
by high military nnlhnrity that the enemy
would probable secure tho mot defensible
line in front of Willlntmport. intrench them
selves, nnd attempt to hold our army at bay
while thev secure thu mean of crossing.
Iiee's headquarters tire dellnltely ascertained
to bo at Ilngcrstowu to-day. Ills troow
are mainly on the road between there nod
Willlumport, which is only seven miles dis
tant. Gen. harlyV rebel command is re
ported to be cut otf on the mountains near
Greencnstlo by our.cavulry, who have been
operating with magnificent success during
the lut two days. While the reMs were
retreating we had cavalry on their front,
rear nnd both fl.iuks. Its presence and
bold dashes aided In increaMng tho demor
alization of the retain and the relaxation of
their discipline. Among the captures are
Ilrlgndier Generals Uobiiison nnd Trimble.
The damage done thu retal trains by the
dashes of our cavalry is almost incredible,
Kverywhere they have been captured cut
oft' mid burned. General Kllpatriek d.ishcd
into the middle of General Swell's train,
burned between two and three hundred
wagons, and run oil tho horses, 1 o day he
captured sixty-lhreu more wagons and eight
hundred horses and mules. Our cavalry
think Kilpatrick's division nnd n light yes
terduy near Hageihtowu with a rebel divis
ion. Their pot-it ion was nt one time dan
gerous, but they got out finally without
Kerious lo4s. Our army Is moving steadily.
If I.eu remains this lile of tho river there
Ik a probability of another battle within
forty-eight hours.
