D.lliard tables arc in future to be used in the British Ar my, 8300,000 in gold having recent ly been appropriated by Parliament to supply these tables to the army officers in the various barracks Ihro' ;ut the world. Emigration. We see a statement that Kansas has sent an emigrant Hent to Europe. The result of the movement is easily comprehended. Wben will Oregon do something in the matter of posting people who are anxious to better their condition, with regard to the advantages existing here? Mark Twain. Maik Twain is do irg the Holy Land, and letter writing thereon, which the Alia copyrights. We must confess to experiencing some doubts as to his originality, says the Times, when we are told that his famous frog story was written by S m. Seabough, now of the Sacra mento Union, and appropriated by Mark as his own. Alaska. This name, which has been applied to Russian America, sig nifies continent or mainland, as distin gu'shed from little islands, or islands of the Kodiac, Sohumaguiski and Aleutian groups, and those in Kara Fchalka sea and the Behrir.g straits The term Alaska is used by the na' dves and Russian settlers, to include or apply to all the Russian possessions on the American continent. Dbad. Hon. James A. McDou .gal, late United States Senator from California, died at Albany, N. Y., on the 3d inst. As a man of abilitv, we believe it is generally acknowl edged that he had fuw snperiors in the nation, but his career in Congress vas such as to disappoint and mortify even those vr?o elected him, and his death furnishes another illustration of the evils of intemperance. Commissioner3. On recount of the extent of the Oregon district, the provision of law for the taking of oaths in bankruptcy is considered in adequate and inconvenient, hence the following persons have been appoint ed by Judge M. P. Ueady, eommiss sioners of the U. S. Circuit Court for this district to take such oaths : Wm. Hoffman, Jacksonville ; Jas. Walton, Rosebnrg: I). M. Risdon, Eugene; T. B. Odcneal, Corvallis ; P. L. Willis, Salem; Geo. II. Stew an, Lafayette ; F. O. McCown Ore gon City ; G. D. Merryman, Ilills Iforo; Sneddon, Astoria; O. N. Denny, Dalles City; Lncien Evarts, Utnutilla; Fredrick Adams, Canyon ;;ty ; C. M. Foster, Baker county ; M. Baker, Union county ; Frank Dalton, Albany; J. Coli ins. Dallas. Financial. With gold at 1 101, fays the New York Tribune of Au gust 5tli, the present is a-good time for the Secretary to sell the soperflu rus coin in the Treasury. Theques- U-r, is often asked, why with money at 2 per cent, in England, and gold a; 140, he dots not promptly give the market $20,000,000, and use the proceeds in destroying $5,000,000 of Iain legal tenders per month? Why, indeed I The reason is obvious. Tlie currency is needed for bnsiness. It r.raws no interest. It ia the best cur rency in the nation, nr.d should be substituted entirely for the issues of the national bar k. It the Secretary would sell h:s Jwenty millions, says the Times, ana buy up Govrmjaeat bonds which draw interest and tiestro-v .htm, it would be much better. THE MARKETS. Business promises to improve some little, at all events. The dispatches show an improved tone in the produce markets of San Francisco. On the 16th flour advanced 25 cents on the barrel, and there is now a good de mand at $6 50 to $G 75, which is 50 to 15 cents per barrel in advance of the quotations transmitted one week ago to day. Wheat is correspondingly firmer, and the same qualities which were steady and unchanged on the 14th, at the current rate of Si 80 to $1 85, we are now told are firm at $2 00 to $2 10, with exceptional sales at 2 12 to $2 15 per 100 pounds. No explanations accompany these reports, and we are not the only ones at a loss to account fur the sudden inflation. The Oregonian says : There has been a slight flutter in certain flour circles for a couple of days, in consequence of favorable telegrams from San Francisco; knows ing very well that the demand there might be very strong merely for a day or two, to complete a cargo for a vessel for instance, and then drop to the old figure, dealers here were a little cautious about offering an ad vance. The news of a continued firm ness and a still further advance in the markets below will have tho ef fect to advance most brands in this citv. Indeed, we hear it stated that one, at least, of the leading brands, has been put up fifty cents. For several years past this portion of Oregon has been almost wholly dependent upon the northern mines as a market for her surplus produc tions, but in 18G5 tho idea that the several pursuits of mining and agri culture were so different that both could not be pursued in the neighbor hood of each other, was exploded, at least so far as Oregon is concerned, for now flour can be shipped down the Columbia river with nearly the same facility as formerly it was sent up. v nat to uo wun oui gram be came an important matter with some, but by referring back, to the prices curnnt at the time Walla Wa''a was supplied through Portland, we find no maiked changes in comparison to the rulirg figures of today. The markets of the world have turned to look in this direction fur breads stuffs " since the discovery of Boise," besides all which we are making a way to the Indies " in the course of tho setting sun" a very important thing. These two considerations are sufficient explanation for the advance in wheat and Hoc-, just mentioned. As regards tha condition of the fruit markets upon this coast we are uniformed and it seen.s nearly p.n impossibility to ascertain facts suffi cient to predicate an opinion upon. That fruit of every variety is abund ant is generally known and the pre vailing impres-ion is that, green fruit must remain cheap. In order that our orchards may be made to yield a revenue, extra labor must be ap plied, and reconrse had to preserving. Dried fruits can scarcely ever fail to meet with some demand. Tho ruling prices for butter, eggs, lard, cured meat and vegetables, is merely nominal, and there isneedof no further comment than a reference to our prices current. The Nicaragua Route. On the 15th ult., at sea, on board the Amer ica, of the North American Steam ship Company, the passengers held a meeting, and expressed themselves in this manner: 4i Having been cautioned by in tercsted parties in New York against risking our lives by traveling to Cal ifornia via Nicaragua, and having just arrived by that line at San Fran Cisco, the undersigned take this means to notify the traveling public that the Nicaragua Transit Route is perfectly and absolutely free from sickness ot any kind whatever, and that the report of cholera so indus triously circulated in New York, (ai d, we presume by the same inter ested parties in California.) are false from beginning to end, ai;d entirely without foundation; and we particu 'lariy desire that this notice be widely- circulated and advertised, for the in formation of those who may be travel ing to or from California and New York. The Overland Route The Salt Luke Telegraph pays a deserved compliment to the promptness and en ergy which has won so high a reputa tion for Wells, Fargo & Co. on the Pacific coast. Had circumstances been different, that Fame promptness and energy would hav? achieved a similar success on the great over land route. But the company had harr-Sy taken possession of the line and put in proper order, when the trouble on the railroads began. Frequently there would be no mail to carry for a week, and then it would come into them by the car load. Un der these circumstances no regularity could be expected. Then the Indian war began, which only rmdered the difficult ies worse. W henever the road was impassable the mails would accu mulate. A delay of three or four days would cause the accumulation of more mail sacks than coutd be trans ported for ten dayg. Between Den ver and Salt Lake a triweekly coach only has been run for a portion of the time, caused by losses of stock, and in several instances a week has passed without the passage of a coach. Be tween Denver and the west their rule lias been to carry the loekfd mail in jr-fvte!:ff to any tfvrg- rise. OKEOOST Church Dedication. -- The new brick church edifice of the Christains of Salem will be dedicated to morrow. Pardoned. James Henry Frans was pardoned from the Oregon Pen itentiary on the 12th inst. New Gretna Green. The trick of going to sea in the Mist, to get mar ried, had its " start" in Yamhill , county. Gone East. Senator Corbett went ; to San Francisco by tho Orijlamme last Saturday, en route to Washing ton City. Lime. A company has been form ed in Douglas county for the pur pose of burning lime. It advertises a superior article for sale. The Slate Fair. If the State Fair is as successful this year as the man agers desire to make it, there will be no cause for complaint when it is over with. Wasco Fair. The Mountaineer publishes the list of premiums of the Wasco county fair, to be held near the Dalle?;, commencing on the 26th inst. The list is liberal. County Taxes. At the last session of the County Commissioner's Court in Marion county, we learn 15 mills was levied. In Multnomah 18 mills. And in Umatilla 21 mills was levied. Bereavments On the 29th of June Mr. J. B. Cook, of Coos county, was killed by a falling tree. Two married daughters have since died. One on the 10th of August and one on the 24th day tf the same month. School Lands Soli. School land has been sold thus far by the Board of Managers, as follows: Yamhill county. $7,000; Washington, G00; Multnomah, $3,500; Lnne, $9,5t)0; Bemon, $4,000; Linn, $700; Polk, $4,000; Clackamas, $500. German Colony. A cotempnrary says a move is on foot in San Fran cisco to establish a German colony in Alaska, our new possessions from Russia. What in the world they want to go to Alaska for, when Ore gon is less than halfway between, is a mystery to us. The Triple Thunderer. Tho Al bany Journal learns that Calvin B. McDonald, Eq., who has been so noted in California for his loyal and caustic pen, contemplates visiting Oregon for the object of embarking in journalism. lie was editor of the American Flag during the war. Cougars. A few days since a couyar attacked a colt on the IIHIs boro road, as it was following its dam, and the driver made quire an effort before scaring it off About ten days ago a large animal of the same species devoured a hog, and a calf, cn the premises of a farmer in Linn county. This cougar was kill cd next day. Colored School at Salem. The colored people of Salem have sup p irted a school for their children du ring the last six months, expending therefor, $429 50, obtained by pri vate subscription. The children are said to have made veryr commenda ble progress. The. Reason. The Courier states that W. S. Ladd, Esq., and Ex Gov. Gibbs, of Portland, give their support to tho Gaston wing of the Oregon Central R. R., and that D. C. Lewis, Chief Engineer, will commence a sur vey of the Yamhill route next week. Perhaps this will explain tho reason of Mr. Ladd for refusing to act as a trustee of the Clark wing. New Wheal. The Linn county farmers are delivering wheat at Al bany at the rate of 5,000 bushels per day those of Benton county bring it to Corvallis at the rate of 1000 bush els per day. it is thought that 70, 000 per day is en route to markets like those for a week past. One house in Idaho bis received 80.000 pounds of Hour from Grand Rondc Valley, Union county. Accident. Mr. Robert Gam mill, formerly of this city, was fearfully, if not fatally injured, on Thursday last, while attempting to throw tho Portland Dredger Engine off the center which he was temporarily employed to atterd. lie was thrown into the machinery and horribly crushed. Geo. B. Woodward, En gineir en the dredger was called to his assistance, and after a great effort succeeded in extricaitng hira from his terrible situation, and he was carsied to Lis home in Portland. Sanliam. Santiam has broken out in a new spot. This time above Al bany, and the Journal says: " If there is no mistake, it is one of the richest discoveries on the Pacific coast." The samples which were as sayed by a San Francisco firm, re turn a gold value of $219.73 per ton, and the parties who are interested in this ledge say that they purposely selected the most abundant and aver age rock, and that thousands of tons crop out ot the same kind. Children's Aid Society. The an nual report of the Oregon Children's Aid Society has been issued. The CWon is learns from it that the So ciety now numbers fifty-three mem bers in Salem, and has $750 dollars in the treasury. The object of- the association is to provide homes for orphan and homeless destitute chil dren in thi- State. The purpose of the association is one that appeals d-rectly to the hearts of all our citi zens, and will doubtless be sustained by the people. The move was in augurated and Is being conducted by fb-j ladies. TELEtiUAPIlIC NKAVS. We take the following telegraphic news from dispatches to the Oregonian. The steamship China has arrived at San Francisco from New York to take her place in the Japan trade. The revenue cutter Shubrick was lo.st at sea below Point Reyes on the lGth, no lives lost. Nurcerou3 suits are being brought in Washington to test the constitu tiomdity of the confiscation act. The Democracy of Massachusetts have nominated J. J. Tallmadge for Governor. The Republicans of Minnesota have nominated W. B. Marshall for Governor. A call has been issued for a State temperance convention in New York on October 2d. The impression is general that the estates of Santa Anna will be confis cated, and his life spared. There are reports from Mississippi, Atkansas and Tennessee that the worms are seriously damaging the cotton crops. Senator Cowan denies the report that he has been tendered the office of Secretary of State. He would not accept any cabinet appointment. The Herald says the development made in the internal revenue frauds in Brooklyn implicate certain mem. bers of the Washington cabinet. Returns from the Maine election show that Chamberlain, Republican, is elected by ten or twelve thousand majority. The Republican loss is 1G,U00 since last year. A New York dispatch says : The result cf the election in California had a depressing i-filet- upon the Rad icals here and is considered unfortu nate for the national cause. Lieutenant Governor Stevens has been inaugurated Governor of Ken tucky, vice John L. Helm, deceased. The ceremonies took place in the Senate chamber at Frankfort. France and England have sent a joint note to Greece, urging the Gov ernment to refr.iitt from further hos tilith's while the sultan maintains neu trali ty with Crete. Gen. Grant has ordered that dis trict commanders co operate with the frecdmau's bureau as far as possible, reducing the number of volunteer employees. The Colorado, which left Hong kong August 15th and Yokohama August 24th, arrived in Sm Fran cisco cn the 14th. The general news is unimportant. Murders and burg laries were becoming alarmingly fre quent at Nayaski and Yokohama. The Herald's special contains a re port of the speech of Wade at Ck:vc land. It was a terrible arraigmrnt of the Democratic party and Presi dent Johnson, lie says Johnson means to eti force his policy at p resent. The Moscow Gazelle, in a leading editorial, pays a high compliment to the United States for its course on the Cretan question, :.s exemplified by the recent resolutions of Congress, and regards the example of America as the beginning of a more healthy condition of affairs in Europe. Tlie Post's Washington letter gives the conversation of one of Grant's stuff officers with him, concerning Grant's candidacy for Presidency. He said he would not be President if an opportunity ofilred. We think it due to the people, if this is so, that Grant should say it himself. Reliable information from Charles ton says Canby is fully determined to pursue the policy adopted by Sickles and to enforce the orders and regu lations nlre-.dy established. He ban issued an order compelling all per sons in the district who left the south for foreign countries after April IS, 1807, and who were subject to parole, to give parole. The American Pomological Con vention adjourned after a highly in teresting session at St. Louis, on the 13th. It will reassemble two years hence in Philadelphia. The display of standard fruits consisted of GS0 dishes of grapes, 600 apples, 745 peais, and 212 peaches. 'Inequality exceeded the most sanguine expecta tions of the society. A dispatch from Sioux City says: The Indian Commissioners have nr. rived here on their way to Fort Lar amie and Fort Leavenworth, havin" held councils with all the tribes as far as Fort Sulley. The conference with several tribes were satisfactory and hope is entertained of suppress ing hostilities. Yesterday, however, a train of wagons were fired into by some Indians near Fort Harker, but no one was hurt. A private dinner was given to Beauregard at the New York Hotel, New York, on the evening of the 12th, by about one hundred friends. The General in his s-peeeh said the talk about another rebellion was shere nonsense and utterly impossi ble. This generation of people should bend its energies again to build up the Union. He urges them to give the Government their united support in its attempt at reconstruction. Wade spoke in Cleveland, Ohio, on the 12th. He thought the court' try in as groat danger as when Sum ter was fired on. Rebellion is as rife to-day as at any time during the war. He arraigned the Democratic party as being the cause of the re bellion, and as sympathizing with the rebellion, though he look ground against negro sutlrage. The parliament confederation of the North German States met for mally at Berlin on the 12th. Kin Willian in his speech said their na tional relations with the rest of Ger many has been fixed by treaties, and assured the members that the finan cial condition of the confederation is in an exctllent condition. IJe con cluded his speech as follows: Gens tlemen, progress is to be the great principle underlying all our discus sions. Your work will be a work of peace, Mid by God's blessing our fatherland will in peace enjoy the fruits of our labors. The Border States Union Conven tion assembled in Baltimore on the 12th, Tennessee, Maryland, Dela ware, Missouri and Kentucky were represented. The attendance from each of these States was large. Rad ical speeches were made by the most prominent members, recommending that there be no distinction of color in the exercise of the elective fran chise. Letters have also been re ceived from leading politicians, urg in" the esfnblishment of equal rights to every citizen throughout the Un ion. There is considerable enthusi asm among the members of the con vention, and it is thought that the re sult will be most favorable to the Radical cause in all of the Border States. The policy cf Johnson is the subject of severe criticism and no faith is entertained in his loyalty. Tiie following permanent filet rs were elected : President, Horace May nard. Vice Presidents, R. T. Van horn of Missouri, Col. J. H. Clend enning of Missouri, R. R. Butler cf Tennessee, Rev. Dan'l Wat kins of Tennessee, A. Cresswell of Maryland, Geo. A Cool of Mary land, Harmon IlnI)inson of Delaware, Rob't II. Cummins of Delaware, Sam'l Seg.ir of Delaware, David Goshatri of West Virginia, Gallagher of West Virs ginia, II. T. Johnson cf District Co lumbia, and P. Clark of District Co lumbia. Some time since the office of the Fugle newspaper at Camden, Arkan sas, was destroyed by soldiers, led on by Major Pierce. Col. Gilbert, com mander of the post, wrote to Gener al Ord a letter, in which he said: " The censures of the press, elirected against the seivants cf the people, may be endured; but General Ord and the military force detailed to enable him to perform his duties are not servants cf the people of Aikan-sa-:, but rather their masiers, and it is felt to be a great piece of imper tenancc for the papers of the State to comment on military matters, under any circumstances whatever." Gen eral Ord, in reply, says: " Y'our IcU ter in which you attempt to justify the act of a party of soldiers misled by an officer who forcibly entered a citizen's prenrscs nnd destroyed his property, is received. Y'ou will please explain why this act was not prevented by the post commander, and if the requirements of the Thirty S'cond Article ot War has be on complied with. Your assertion that tlie military forces are not servants of the people of Arkansas, but their masters, is unjust to b'th the pco' pie and thr military, and unfounded in law. Tho laws are fur the bent fit of the people. The assumption that a party of soldiers could alone forci bly destiny property and commit a gross violation -f the public pence, would not be tolerated under a Na- po-eon. I.F0r.MATiox roil Immigrants. A gentlemen from one of the Southern States writes that a large number of persons in the States lately in rc y m re ako their bellion, would bke to ma I homes in Oregon, if persons from that portion of the Urdon would be revived in a friend v snit-it bv tho " . people of this State, says the union ist. To all such we feel free in say- ing that the people of Oregon have not in tha past, nor do we believe they will in the future, withhold a friendly greeting to those who come among them for the purpose of resid ing, regardless of their nativity or the State from which they hail. There is not a State in the Union that is not represented in our pres ent population. The interests of the State demands population, and to that interest all the citizens are will ing to make concessions of their in dividual predilections, prejudices, or antipathes, and, as a consirpuence of this disposition of our people, the im migrant from Massachusetts or Texas will receive an equally friendly greet ing from the old residents of the State. YV arned. We have received a note, from reliable source, says the Advocate warning1 the public against an importer, who has called himsn'f John Ely, Dr. Hunter, Dr. Geo. Levy, but whose real name is said to be George Levison. He is a ready and fluent speaker, sometimes passes for a physician, and also for a Meth odist Minister; claims to have been a soldier in the Union ranks; makes heavy drafts on the Masonic frater nity. Instead of being jn the army from 18G1 to 1SG4, ' it h affirmed that George Levison was serving out a three year's term in the State Pris on of .New Jersey, for bigamy. The public will do well to be on the look out for the swindler, as he will likely turn up somewhere on this coast. Tix. Great excitement exists in Missouri on account of the discovery of tin in Madison and Iron counties. Tha I ronton Register says: " Cornwall's glory has departed. The United Stales are no longi r de pendent rpon the Old World for their sae.ee pans, for in southern Missouri there is tin enough to supply her kitchens f-r a million years." Farms which could not have been sold three mouths ago at $10 an acre are now eagerly snapped up at from $100 to $300 an acre ; and if the de velopments being made continue sat isfactory, some cannot be purchased at any price. What's ix a Name. J. W. Ncs mith, a Republican, ha3 been elected to the Council of Colorado from the third district. "VtcIcly Commercial llcvlew. ExTEnrme Otfice, f Oregon City, Sept. 20th, 1SG7. f By the steamship Oregon we have Hies of San Francisco papers to the 11th, and New York letters of August 21st. Ton nage was very scarce in New York. The activity in San Francisco is said to be as tonishingly great. The quantity of goods daily sent o.fF to the interior is consider able, while the produce arriving from the farming districts is far in excess of any previous year. The total shipments of treasure since Jan. 1st. lS(J7,to Aug. 10th, are given at $30,131,013, against $32,8-10,-5S1 for a corresponding period last year. Quite an encouraging prospect, although we still note numerous articles en route to the coast from Eastern supply ports that should be produced here. The quantity of fruit arriving at San Francisco from the interior is excessive. Thousands of boxes of pears, choice varie ties, are left to perish or are thrown off the dock for want of buyers at one cent. 3 lb. Apples and grapes arc also super abundant, and to be had at very low prices. There is a good demand for fall wool : holders ask lac ; buyers oiler 12c. The Oregon Iron shipped by the Montana was well received by the foundries at San Francisco. The evieic says : One can hardly over estimate the value of this enterprise to the manufacturing in terests of this coast. Tho capacity of the works, and the quantity of the ore. enable the manufacturers to supply nearly ail the raw iron required fur our present uses. Oregon Flour in New York rem.tins active at $13 50, and Wheat firm at $2 C.". A London telegram quotes California Wheal at 13s -Id 3'l00 lbs. Liverpool the same. The editor of the Senthtd, who has been on a tour through the Willamette Valley says: ' Thj Willamette Valley produces a surplus, but just enough to be a bother ation. If thousands of bushels of grain were raised where hundreds now are. tho market would be better, for inducements would then be held out to foreign traders and merchants to come and purchase. The Erst lot of Bonus for the construc tion of the Willamette Valley Railroad have been prepared and sent East by the Company. J. L. Parri.sh and C. N.
