V X- " ift - y. f"' V t THE OREGON SEHT1EL. Satuedat Mokniko, Aug. 27, 1870. A Dilemma. The democratic aspirants to Senator ial honors "their name is legion" are sorely exercised over the conflict be tween the fengra railroad scheme and Senator "Williams' amendment, making the Humboldt branch termnato st some point in Rogue River vail jy. It is very certain that the supporters of the Pengra schcne will defeat, if it is in their power, any aspirant, no matter what his politics, who sincerely favors the route into this valley; and it is equally as certain that the people of this valley regard tho establishment of the Pengra route as hostile to their in terests, and that they are opposed to the selection of any man for TJ. S. Sen ator, who will not go for the Williams amendment "first, last, and all tho time." Under 6nch circumstances it is not strange that somekg-bould be weak enough to imagincfehey can assume a position which Tvfn suit both interests, and thereby reach the covet ed seat now occupied by Senator Wil liams. Now this seems to be the hal lucination under which our present Congressman, Joseph S. Smith, is at present laboring. Mr. Smith, albeit, a good man a concession seldom made to a political adversary and although he promises, after having carefully re- be matter, to put Senator aent throuch tho Lit throng! Tug could, and lit a giain the remainder fee. JUr. .bit en. thereupon, to help me pass it in that fot-ai, and all opposition from the friends oi the road was withdrawn. My only reasons for seeking to amend the bill" therefore ceased to exist" The above extract clearly shows that Mr. Smith does not expect Southern Oregon to derive any benefit from the passage ot the amendment. On the contrary, it was only alter the Central Pacific JJnilroad Company had notified him of their plan to prevent the sole aim of that amendment, and cheat the people of Southern Oregon out of a railroad under the most specious pre tense of securing them one, that ho concluded to support it. Now this nice little arrangement must bo thwarted ; the company that takes the grant nnder the amendment, must, according to tho intention of tho bill, take it clear throngh and build the railroad into this valley, as the bill con templates. Mr. Smith will evidently not do this, and he is the only Demo cratic aspirant to Senatorial honors, who has deigned to notice even our anxiety over the railroad question Open opposition wo could meet; but this plausible support is more danger ous, and thus far it is the only consola' tion we have from Democratic sources. The most sincere and most powerful friend to tho railroad interests of South ern Oregon is a Republican, and it is styled an "insult" to mention his claims to a Democratio legislature. Time will demonstrate the folly or wisdom of this sentiment. Fire at Canyon City. Tho town of Canyon City, Grant Co., Oregon, wis almost entirely destroyed by fire, on the 12th inst The loss of property is estimated at $250,000 ; prob able insuranco $30,000. The entire town was reduced to ashes, except four residences. The flames broke out about 11 o'clok in the morning, and in an hour the work was done over one hundred and fifty people tcing left -without homes. Two Clinrien.-were burned to death. The County Hospital. The County Court adjourned its au gust session without making any pro vision for taking care of the poor and sick who might become a charge on the county. All bids were rejected, al though there was one offered with the best security iu the county, which was certainly as low as they can ever hope to get. Dr. Davis offered, -with such men 3s James T. Glenn, T. G. Reames, Palt. Ryan, and Jacob Ish as his securities, to keep all the county paupers and those who might become charges on the county at $8 per week. This ofler was to cover all medicinal and surgical attention, boarding, lodg ing and clothing ; but this offer was re jected with the rest, and there is to-day no provision for the county poor and sick, and will not be until the next meeting of the County Court. This neglect) on the part of the County Court has been brought up be fore the people of this place in a very striking manner within the pat few days. A few days since two strangers came into town from California. One Jonathan Davisr an old man, 64 years old, was on his way to see his son, who lives near Portland, from Burlington, Iowa. He had been robbed, near Sac ramento, and was compelled thereby to perform the rest of his journey on foot.

Yesterday's Dispatches. Paris dispatches report a defeat of Prussians between Verdun and Chal ons, and the evacuation of Epernay. Notwithstanding all Parisian reports of Prussian defeats, the Prussians seem to he gaining ground steadily, and the French are beginning to be alarmed seriously for the safety of Paris. Grain mills and their contents, in the valleys of tho Seine and Marne, have been de stroyed to prevent them from falling ;nto the hands ol the Prussians. Dis-pato'.'ieSf-dated Bar Le Due, state that Chalons' has been evacuated, that the Prussians are west of Chalons, and are rapidly advanciCJ onParis. Strasbourg is being constant! borabatded, the Prussian siege trains hve advanced tol within 500 yards ot the citj". -anotner heavy battle is reported in 'progress near Montmety. W. V. R. R. Co.

Tort Warner Is located in the foot hills, between Goose Lake and Warner Lake, about 16 miles west of Warner's Rock or Warner's Mountain, where Capt. Walk er fought the Pinte Indians all day in 1854. This post has good comfortable quarters for about 300 soldiers rank and file. The houses are good substantial log houses, lined and papered. The conntry eat of the post is uninviting, being covered with sage brush, grease wood, and bunch grass. Immediately south and west of the quarters is an abundance ol wood, good timber, and plenty of good cool water. Upon the. whole, it is a good post, and well lo cated to keep the Indian in subjection. At the time of our yisit there were about 200 soldiers in the camp. Col. Otis, Capt. Hinton, several other offi cers, ana some soldiers, baa gone to Fort Klamath to attend a court mar tial, which had been previously order- ed, to try some soldiers who weie un - T der arrest charged with desertion. Desertions have been frequent on this coast, of late. Several soldiers have been found guilty of this offence, and sentenced to 5 or 6 years imprison ment, loss of time that they had served, loss of pay, &c We arrived late at night, and were hailed by the guard and compelled to halt at the cast entrance. Lieut. Fisher happened to be officer of the day. In a few minutes he relieved us from our imprisonment, and extended to us the hospitalities of his house and home. We spent one dry and two nights at the Fort. We shall long' remember j hospitalities and kindness of Lieut. Fisher, Mrs. Hinton, and Mr. Snider. next week's issue we will refer to portions of that country. Late Telegrams- IYork, Ang. 22. Courier has ph which says, Bazaine still in silence.

Private dis patches lrom Paris say, McMahon com pletely turned tables on Crown Prince. French change from front, form line from Moselle to- Metz and Verdun, which is a serious blow to Prussians. McMahon with 130,000 veterans has thrown himself between armies of Crown Prince and "King William and effected junction with Bazaine's left wing, at Verdun. Prussian position perilous, their army cut into with uni ted French wing between them, to keep left wing at Metz and prevent French from shortening their long line. London, Aug. 23.

It is reported that Crown Prince has gone to support Prussian armies west of Mere. An other special says, Chalons army has gone towards Thionville, to effect junc tion with Bazaine. McMahon is driven to a choice of two evils; to leave the road to Paris open to the Crown Prince or by holding it to sacrifice Bazaine's army. German dispatches 6av : Metz is en closed onall sides, communication be tween Chalons and Paris is cut off: Mc Mahon and Failley still retreating to pover Paris.
