Our "c School.
It is n matter of congratulation that
tho new school building, for the Jack
sonville DNtrict, is so near completion.
'o are assured that within two weeks
it will be leatly for occupation. Occu
pying tho mou promiuout point in the
town known as tho Highain Knoll
and surmounted w ith a handsome bel-
frv, tho building is a public ornament,
and in its internal arrangement retlects
ciedit on the tasto and judgment of
tho Directors. As a school building,
it is, in our opinion, everything that is
desired to meet tho wants of (lie youth
ful portion of our community, and noth
fug'is now wanted but an experienced
and suitable teacher, who is full com
petent to be entrusted with the moral
and intellectual deelopment of our
children. We understand that it is tiie
intention of the Directors to levy an
tiililtt iitittil rt in in itii f flirt rtiiitint n-
j)encof the school for tho coining vear,
and thnt the salarv of the teacher will
be a secondary consideration, and ev -
ery effort wilfbe made to make the in -
stitution an honor to tho district. So
far, the Directors have shown a praie-
worthv enl in behalf of education, and
tlillllLllflittt It V liivit tv viiisvii l
we hope the people of the town will
Fiistaiu them by bearing the additional
burden cheerfully, and enable them to
lay tho foundation of such a school as
Southern Oregon is murh in need of.
Tho necessities and advantages of edu
cation cannot be over-estimated. Tho
liberal support of a free school is a du,0llr,n'0nrc',cUcrl",or, loimmomUv.
tv that our people owo to the coiuiuu-
uity as citizens, looking to their own
protection and the general welfare of
tho State. The bestowal of an educa
tion is a duty they ovvo to their child
ren as parents, mid money spout'iu the
support of frco and liberal institutions
of learning is better invested than if
earning two per cent, a month, llct-
ter far, give your children a substan-1
tial education to enable them toclbow
their way through tho worldin anv '
sphcre of life, nuil diseharco their du-,
ties as citizens, though they bliotihl be
gin life without a dollar, than to with
hold uduention and leave them thou
tands to squander and quarrel over. It
seems unnecessary, hovvover, to insult
the intelligence of our teadero by Miy
ing nuythiug more on this point, and
wo expect that by cheerful co-operation
with tho diiectors, our new public
school will bo a monument of the gen
erosity and public spirit of the commu
nity, and be looked back upon with
prido and gratification by the rising"
population of our town; when they, in
turn, shall have taken part in tho ac
tive duties of life; and with the thought
that their manhood and womanhood
owed much of their usefulness to the
liberality of tho fiicndnof Act learning.
Dloouvd Stock. It may bo inter
esting to stock fanciers to know that'
"Ida," a filly of "Hilloman's," had a,
fino horse coU by "Jack Miner," on tho'
2d inst. Jack Minor is said to bo tho
fastest horso that over came to Oregon,
and as Hillcmau is hard to beat, this
foal will be an object ol interest among
men who pay attention to tlionfl'aim of
tho "luif." Ida is tho property of
Messis. McLaughlin and Kliiipelwho
havo mined the foal "Ilcniy Welsh."
llicu Spkcimex-. In another colunin
wo mentioned tho fact that a rich spec
imen had been found on Jackson creek,
which yielded ioily ounces of gold.
Wo now leam fiom Colonel Diowthat
it was taken fiom a small quart lead,
owned and worked by a French miner,
on Shively Gulch. The specimen
weighs one hundred and forty ounces,
and in thu opinion of thoso who have
been it, will yield not less than ono
bundled ounces of gold.
1'iiKAK op X.m'in:. Last week, a
maio belonging to .Mr. Thomas Funis,
of Williamsbiiig, Jo-ephiue county,
had twin foals, one of which was a
horse and the other a mule. T hoy aro
both well formed and lully developed.
This singular ficak is well authenti
cated and is a nut for stock misers and
horso f.iueieis to crack.

Giving out.
Ir is n favorite expression w ith cioak

mines arc "giving out." Imoiji ocular
proof, and from the iuot"roliablo infor

that they aie really "giving out" not
becoming ehntited but'thoy are gi
ing a fair and remunerative yield for
the labor employed in them. "Giving

present week -Air. bturgcs.of Applcgatc,

gold, weighing ouo hundred and eighty

Certainly -Mr. Pollard's subject, under i
existing eiicunistances, was not fitlv
chosen. Little should the Southern
stands athwart Southern manhood and
progie.-s whilo bleai-eycd famine is
staring them in tlie face. Were tho
Pollanls and Do IJovvs, who havo been
a blight and a curso to the South, now
to instruct the people how to allay the
pangs of the hunger that isknawing
away their itals, thoy would do better
than to iccoiiut tho trials, Mill'crings
and uiiiineil superiority of a chivaliy
that is now passing nvvay. If they
would instruct tho people how to build
up their shattoied fortunes; to reno
vate their impoverished soil; to foiget
tho abstract in the practical, nnd, above
all, to yield gracefully to that which
thoy cannot avoid, thov might partly
atone for tho misery and desolation
their falso doctrines havo entailed.

al men the Thirty-ninth Congress on
the eve of its iidjoiiinnient passed an
Act, which was approved March lid,
to dcelaru valid and conclusive coi tain
pioclamatioiis of tho President author
izing military uiiests, mid lo idemnify
fully tlie ollleeis who made such arrests.
It legalizes such nets as vveio tho sub
ject of complaint in tho case of McCall
V,s. McDowell, and bais nil actions for
the same in all the Federal and State
couits. In ichitioti to the particular
point upon which Judge Deady decid
ed thu ease against tho defendant
namely, tho want of satisfactory evi
(ieneu'tbat General McDowell had tho
iiuthoiity of the Piesident for his acts
the law provides that nil officers and
other persons in the service of thu lTni
ted States, lifting in such cases, "shall
lie held prima facL to have been an
thoiized bv tho Piesident." Under
this law, wliieli has only been lcceived
within n dny, Judge 'Deady himself
would have decided for thu defendant,
ll will bea matterof gratification to loy
al citizens to know that Congiess has
thus piotected faithful olllcers of the
Government, nnd that there will bo
no fin ther necessity of discussing tho
