They were a little rough perhaps bufc soft as women when a comrade was in distrcsSj and asinirepiiLas .soldiers of the old" guard when in -dangerous situations. It needod.-rough-JioliL.men 'in thos.e days, for the times were rough, and jiany a story is related of the manner in which they stood shoulder to shoul der for mutual protection. Illinois river, below Kerbyville, was the wild est and most inaccessible part of the county, but gold in paying quantities, had been found on it, and in 1852, notv.ithstaiTding the mountains through which it ran were a favorite resort for Indians, many of the boys continued to work on it. One of the strongest parties was located on the "Peersoll" bar, and one of the number being Aleck "W , a great strapping wes tern maD, lithe as a wild cat, steady and unerring in his ainr, always carry- lii" a "pass tor a red sfcm m his rule, and gaining the credit of making many a "good" Indian. Aleck was a terror to them; their trails were un safe, and frequently aboriginal visitors to the Peersoll camp lost their reckon ing aniL never returned. After the close of hostilities between the whites and Indians the latter often visited the camp, somctimqs hunting deer for the boys, and were generally treated fairly :is they deserved to Le. On one occa sion a ''buck'' named Tom, belonging to the Eogue river tribe, a sulky, ill favored retch, demanded Aleck's gun for a hunt, which was refused, the owner faying that ho wanted to hunt on the next day himself. The Indian was oflended and inclined to be saucy, and the result was driven out of camp ri r.n gncrry n'fyyl. fitmring at "AIi'cl:' was noticed) but saying that the" sigjits 'of hia gun had been movedieT quietly lit his pipe and keptlnspwft counsel. A-year passed by and still ITom" did not make his appearance Another jear and yet the ugly face was not seen at the camp; At last fane of the' boya asked "Aleck," "whore do you suppose Tom keeps .himsehj-' "How should I know,'' was theYonly. "Am I my brother's keeper? Why do you askP "O'iid his. ratijfe.quietly, "I found some bones up on the moun tain yesterday .and kind 'o guessed they were Tom's." "Well," said Aleck, in surprise, "What, do you think he suicidedl" "Yes I guess so, made a hole dead centre between the eye?, then busted his yager all to flin ders and threw it down tho gulch" hughingly remarked his interrogator. Right thero Aleck confessed, detailing every circumstance, explaining- his si lence as prompted by the fear of trou ble from White Indians only, and de manded a fair trial. Being the only witness-, and known to be a ,man of the strictest veracity, the trial at the camp was short and the , verdict "served the darned sneak right" Aleck still lives in Josephine county and often laughs when ho thinks of the little game where the Red tried to out-w it the White. t SE-VATOE CEOVm.

The menace wai luslaiitly recognize.1 but the old hunter aid nothing, starting up the inoun lain on the west side of the river the next morning, ilh the snov.' about two feet deep, "Aleck" hunted steadi 'y and faitlfully till noon. Usually ucc'-sful ho never was in such ill luck 'jut slill lis labored on in hopes of get ing tight of a deer. Finding that he -vas above the "t-ign" he made a dc our which took him considerably down the mountains, and then swing ing round he crossed his own track made during the forenoon in the deep snow. There was a moccasin print in it' lhe situation at once liasiiea on (be miud-of the hunter; Indians never followed the track of another hunter expecting to find game, and ho at once realized that it was himself that was being hunted. Pushing onward a hhort distance without leaving any thing to indicate -that the moccasin track had been discovered, Aleck press ed through a bunch ofirush, and turning abruptly to tho left ensconsed himself belling a large clump of man zanita growing on the comb of a small ridge. Placing his rifle through tho branches of his cover so as to com mand the richt point of his broken trail, and lying down in the snow be. hind it, he waited. One two hours passed till the watcher, now nearly chilled, thought that ho waited in vain. The soft snow made no sound and he dared not raise himself even to a sitting position for fear of discovery, but at last his quick ear detected a slight rustle in the brush and an ugly brown face, made hideous with hatred, and smeared beneath the eyes with powder to protect them from' the glare of the sndw, was in sight. It was his friend of the-precedyig day. Stopping where the trail was broken as if con scious that his game was nigh, he glanced wildly about, with his eye balls almost starting from their sockets, and his gun cocked; but only for an in stant. There was a little white puff of smoke from behind tho manzanita cover, the print of a human form in the snow an empty wigwam on the river! Leaving the body where it fell Aleck took the Indian's yager, broke it across a tree and flung it into a ra vine. Finding a revolver on the In dian'he detached the cylinder, throw ing it in one direction, the" stock in an other. Returning home wards the hun ter jumped up several bands of deer, but he was nervous and chilledr from his uncomfortable vigil and lie went tome empty-handed.

Kinne, special agent of the land office of tho interior depart ment at Washington, lira been detail ed to examine all donation application and proofs now on file dn the several land offices in Oregonund'Washington Territory, and report their status and condition. He has been, instructed to locate all donation claims on the maps and tract books in the local offices, and make copies of all papers appertaining to each claim now on file in the differ ent local land offices in this state and Washington Territory, and have the originals forwarded to the commission er of the general land office. As there havo been many grants and appropria tions of public lands to various com panies, makes it necessary that all claimants under tho donation act pass ed September 27th, 1850, and the amendments thereto, should examine their proofs and make application for their certificates of patent without further delay, so that their patents may be issued tor tne iana ciaimea. Although nearly thirty years have passed, proof in many cases is incom plete and nearly all require marriage proof and some additional proof of res idence and cultivation. This is a mat ter of importance, and application for certificates should be made without delay. m I Subscribe for tie SiiirrnrEL. Speaking of, the loan3 to McClane and Myers, the "Standard" says it "has the best of authority that Grover did not receive a cent of the money, nor wasit borrowed for his benefit." This makes a direct issue of fact, which is very easily settled. Grover held a noteofS3,000 against McClane. To this same McClane lie. made a large loan out of the school fund, on very in EuJKciellfcnoOTrJly,, -ontLfrlt-h jt-jiprtiop of the money this 3,000 note was paid. McClane's own Testimony be fore the Committee- shows that tho money never passed into his hands. Grover simply transferred it from the school fund to hia own pocket and gaTe up tho note to McClane. The Myers loan was made under the follow ing circumstances: Grover sold his Salem factory stock, understood to be a. controlling interest in the corpora tion. The persons who made the pur chase had not the money to pay him. Through a circuitous transaction a wa ter power at i Ulein belonging to the property was sold to A. Meyers, to whom Grover made a loan oat of the school fund, taking property of little value as security. Myer's, howavjr, did not get a dollar of the money thus nominally borrowed. The whole sum of 10,000 wa transferred directly from the school fund to Graver's corn piny by Grover himself, and the Stafe was put off with security which has proven almost worthless. When the property wa3 sold to Myers, and coin cident in litno with thii school fund loin, the factory company that is, Grover acknowledged receipt of $10, 000 for the property, and the smis is a matter of public record. If the-ie re not feicts we iuvita any one on be half of Mr. Grover, or Mr. Grovsr himself, to show the contrary; and as the "Oregonian" wishs; to do no injus tice, it will gladly publish such state ment, and on fair proof will withdraw its own. Here, then, is a plain issue of fact Th "Standird" aba i'l good enough to say that it "think? a public official who hai monay in trust should not loan it to himsflf." This raises the question of the loan nominally mado to tho West Portland Horns As sociation. In this caso also Grover re sorted to a roundabout method to get money out otthe school fund. He or ganized a straw corporation under the above name, niortgivpd some liud west of Portland, which is covered with brush and timber, and is describ ed as being "so steep that it stands edgewho;" and on this imperfect secur ity, on which no private capitalist would loan 5,000, ho took 10,000 out of the school funds, and used the money, as he himself has admitted, to "pay his debt."." Now if tho "Stand ard" really thinks that "a public offi cial who has money in trust should not loan it to himself," it will speak 'out in censure of this transaction without further delay. And since it professes also to have "the best of authority, that Grover did not receive the money" on tho McClane and Myers loans", it is incumbent on it to givo that authority and clear up this matter. Wo have now, as before stated, a plain issue of fact, stripped of all superfluous and ir revalent matter, and there is no longer excuse for evasion "or silence on the part of those who profess to bo prepar ed to maintain the. propriety of Mr. Grover's action. Oregonian. A few days ago we published a com munication on this topic, setting forth the virtues of a discovery made by Dr. D'Unger, formerly of Minneapolis, now of Chicago, said to be an infalli ble euro for drunkenness, a disease which is worse in its results than all other diseases combined. The Chicago Inter Ocean has recently had many ar ticles on this discovery, in which tho effects cKimed for If arc backed by an array of testimony wuIeVSerUuuW- is. of a convincing kind. The remedy i3 a preparation of chincono rubra, or red Peruvian bark. Taken as he prescribes he asierts that it will cure the diseased ncrve-celb of the brain of alcoholic in flammation, so that the desire of strong drink is permanently removed. It is even claimed for the remedy that it will create such an indifference to drink oil xhe part of tho oldest toper that he can take whisky in his mouth and have no desire whatever to swal low it. Dr. D'Unger is a physician of tho old school, and he appeals to his brethren of the profession to put his claims to the severest test before be lieving them. He ha3 invited them to send him some of the most inveter ate cases for trial, and it is "said not a failure has occurred. Some of those whom he has treated have stood the test for nearly a year, and show no signs of a relapie. The discover holds that drunkenness or dipsomania, as it is called in the language of writers who treat of it, is a disease of the sensorial nerve cells of the brain. This may not bo a correct judgment, but it mat ters little, it it be really true that an effective remedy has been found If a discovery has been made of some cheap accessible remedy by which drankards may be actually cured, it. is one of tho most valuable discoveries in the whole historyof mankind. There are few, indeed, who are hlavos to this apnetito, who would reufS to avail themselves of such a remedy. Upon men of all classes this fatal disease fastens itself. With our high-pressure sort of life in these days, when steam is beginning to be thought slow, and with our miserable habit of treating. 'everybody is in danger of becoming a drunkard; and therefore the journal before quoted is right in siying that "the remedy, if ono ha.3 been found, ought not to remain a professional se cret a single week. The general gov ernment ought to make a suitablo com pensation to the dibcovcrer to mako it known at onco to every inhabitant of tho earth. It makes appropriations to investigate the causes of the yellow fe ver, hog cholera, epizootic and potato rot, but here is a disease, or vie?, as you prefer, that transcends all forms of pctilesco that liaie ever affected man kind, sweeping into our poor houses, hospitals, prisons and graves, tho fair est and best as well as meanest and most depraved by the thousand every wc?k throughout the year, ian."

A petition, numerously signed by citizens of Plovna, Linkvillo and Lost River precincts, has been sent to the Governor, asking that he appoint a committee to visit and examine large tracts of land lying in the vicinity of Tulc and Little Klamath lakes, and who shall have power to tako testimo ny in icference to tho manner in which these lands have been selected by the State as swamp and over-flowed, under the act of March 12th, 1860; and who shall havo power to investi gate the character of said lands which are alleged to be swamp. The object of this petition is to bring about an ad justment of tho conflicting claims of the State, and homestead and pre-emption claimants threto. The long and expensive contests between the State and actual settlers on theso lands, havo been a serious drawback to the set tle ment and improvement of tho county. A just settlement of these claims will be a great relief and give a new impe tus to our increasing importance, and give us new strength to bear tho bur dens necessarily incumbent upon a newly organized county.

The Chineso mer chants in the interior bought of tho Chineso mcrchantsin San Francisco and the San Fs-ancisco Chinese merchant imported all his wares from China. Their system has worked like an oil pipy for tho transmission of golditcros i the Pacific. Our principal share of the profit has been that resulting from their carrying trade. The same result to a limited extt-nt has held with other foreigners.
