A State fair is a queen; an agri cultural fair is a farmer's daughter; a church fair is a parson's wife; a sol dier's fair is the best-looking girl he can get hold of ; a charity fair is a fo male pauper; and the most unpopular fair in the universe is house fare. board ing- o Nu-ATee-Poo is the name to be gircn to the new territory to be made of Eastern Washington, and Western Idaho. Capital at Lewis ton. Nu-Mee Poo is of native origin, nnr properly defind means Our People. The ambition of Kansas to con trol the trade of Colorado and New Itfexico, and the failure of the Mis-, souri Southern Pacific Railroad pro jectors to push their work, have led to a scheme for the extension of the Kansas Branch of the Pacific Pail road across New Mexico tc the navi gable waters of the Colorado, and thence to San Francisco. The New York Herald lately printed a dispatch from San Fran cisco, stating that " the construction of a sea-wall of0granite, on Brooklyn rock foundation, for the protection of the harbor of San Francisco, is now favorably progressing, under the di rection of the street Commissioner, and will extend along the whole city from the Mexican coast." The New Yorkllcrald gets more gratuitous puffing than a cigar dealer. Just now oil the daily papers on this coast, (the Alta and Bulletin, except ed), are taking great delight in show ing how Oie Hcrahts special distanced nil competitors in the transmission of the first dispatch of the transfer from the Territory of Alaska. There was an interval of just two years ISO to 1SG7, in the two great fires of Idaho City. The first great fire in San Francisco occurred m the 2 tth of December 1S39. On S'lie l.'Jth of the next December there was another great fire. On the 2d day of November ISG2 was a memo rable fire in Sacramento. As we add territory to territory, so webix-ite those who once headed principalities and kingdoms to come mid make their home with us.

Lakuk Bells. The large bell at Notre Dame University, one mile vest rf South Iier.d, Indiana, is now in its place. Thisbell is the largest but one in the Lnited States.

EirstfiaAiWtffiffVAfl.w'g.s OUEUO.V. Col. Dow has retired from the Columbia Press. Albert Ilurnphery is supposed to be alive, but demented. On Wednesday we got a paper from Eugene City dated on the 23d, and one of the 9th from Vancouver. A stock company is about to in vest 200,000 dollars in a hotel and 'heatre, at Portland. The Ihrald talks of what will be done, if the California Company do not put on more steamboats to 'Frisco. No proposition in mathematics has been more clearly demonstrated than that free labor secures the greatest prosperity. The Daughters of Rebecca, at Portland, will spread a collation on the 12th, at which all Odds in the State are invited. The Herald prints an article, then if it sounds pretty and is copied below, the Herald reprints it, and says it is clipped from so and so, etc. Messrs. Estes & Stimpson will soon build a large steam saw mill in Portland, on the site of the Har. baugh & Stitzel mill, burned in 18G6. Bcriah Brown has been con victed of Iarcency. lie stole an item concerning Col. Simmons, from the Oregonian. The Oregonian, and the Herald, have both been bought up by the Yamhill railroad company. The sell took effect on Saturday morniDg. Another season, and the convicts will be made to aid very materially in defraying the expenses of the State Penitentiary. Mr. T. II. Crawford has re signed his position in the public school of Salem, and accepted a fa vorable offer from Prof. Gatch of Portland. Anions the best institution of Portland is the Musical and Educa tional Institute of Prof. Grob, which is also a day and boarding school for young ladies. The annual municipal election will be held in Salem on Monday. No other than local issues are likely to come up, and there will be little strife except for the Marshalship. The Hegislcr finds fault because a cotemporary called Cemcntville in Oregon. Does not the Hegislcr for get that Washington Territory was but recently wholly in Oregon? The Northern route for a raiK road is being examined by Mr. Philip Ritz of Walla Walla Valley. lie is collecting full statistics as he goes through the country. The Oregonian says that when Beriah Brown shall have recovered damages of San Francisco for de stroying his treason-mill, he will immediately commence paying off the Confederate debt. On Weduesday of last week Mr. II. Quick was drowned near Ilillsboro. Ilis body was recovered the same day, and after appropriate ceremony was buried in a Masonic cemetery. The O. S. N. Company are bringing freight flour and gram- from Wnllula to Portland at $0 00 per ton. If the people want any cheaper freight than that they should go east for it. Our frier d Wm. Young, who lately led the accomplished daughter of Capt. Nelson to the hymenial al tar in Portland, is soon to leave for the Atlantic States. We wish him and his a pleasant voyage. The colored people of Portland will observe January 1st tin a man ner appropriate to the Anniversary of the day on which the famous proc lamation of Lincoln' was issued. Extensive preparations are to be made, and all colored people of the State will bo invited to participate. Judge Shattuck has finally ad journed court so far as he is concern ed, and will soon enter upon the prac tico of his profession, with Hon. David Logan of Portland. The suc cessor to Judge Shattuck has not yet been made known to the public. The steamer U. S. Grant has been sold to run as an opposition on Pugct Sound. The New World and Eliza Anderson have consolidated interests. Puget Sound is a good place, it seems, to dispose of useless Oregon steamboats. Of course no body here will now draw the Grant. Maj. Gen. L. II. Rosseau has arrived at Portland and assumed com mand of the department of Co lumbia. The Herald says: Gen. Steele, in his brief military adminis tration of this department, has won golden opinions from all sorts of mem including the ladies. The temperance people of Port land have organized a library associ ation. Permanent officers were elected on last Monday evening, as follows: Jacob Stitzel, President; C. Stewart, Vice President; James A. Waters, Secretary; J. B. Garrison, Treasurer. Directors Jacob Stitzel, J. B. Girriso". Tames A. Waters. W. S. Stevens. Barer! .-C Stp.wnrt nr.r! J. S. Kidder. The machinery of the oil mill at Salem was started on Saturday, and everything was found to work well As soon as the largo boiler arrives in which the meal is to be steamed after it is ground, and is in its place, the company will commence the manu facture of liuseed oil. A friend in San Francisco in forms us that a greater drawback ti Portland than the bars in the Willam ette, so far as shipping is concerned, is the lack of a tug suitable for the pilots and inland towing. We think our next legislature will be required to remodel the pilot laws. Mr. Hull, one of the early set tlers of Portland, has lately returned to that place. Our first recollection of Mr. Hull was about the time he advertised for pigs' tails to make pen ny whistles. Portland was not big enough at that time to hold him and sheep Shaw. A poor inebriate was prevented from drowning himself a few days ago at Portland, that he forgot Ilis actions show the most essential part of the proceeding, which de prived the grave of a corpse, by leav ing his sinker on the wharf when he took to water his most unnatural clement. Thus far during 18G7, all ship pers of grain to the Atlantic have made money, profits have been large, and yet the prices paid for the wheat have at all times been remunerative to the grower, so that, in point of fact, the producer as well as shipper, have alike derived handsome profits, while ship owners and others have re ceived proportionate benefits. Mr. Thatcher (of the Stage Co.) says that the roads are unusually good for this season cf the year, bet ter than they have been since 18G2. The light wagons in use are found to be well adapted to muddy roads. On the first of December the stages com menced running on long time, and will connect with the boats at Oregon City until next season. Clinical lectures are delivered before the class of students attend ing the Medical Institute at Salem on Saturday of each week at 11 o'clock. At these meetings persons submitting to operations have the advantage of the scientific skill and extended prac tical experience of the whole Faculty. Those who are unable to pay for such services will receive proper at' tention free of charge. The Fid.clitcr will be troubled by American Custom House authorities no more, having become American ized through the recent transfer of our Russian possessions. When she began in this trade she ran under the British flag. Upon returning from Sitka she displayed the Russian col ors, in consequence of her tranfer to Russian owners. Since the formal transfer of Alaska to the United States, all residents up there are citK zens of the United States, hence she becomes an American ship, and car ries tho American flag. Another Railroad Company was organized in Multnomah county last week. They propose constructing a railroad beginning at Portland and thence up the valley via Eugene City and to connect in Nevada with the Central Pacific Railroad via the Mid dle Fork of the Willamette river. The capital stock is fixed at 85,000, 000 and the principal business office and machine shops of the company are to be located at Portland. The articles are signed by Messrs. W . S. Ladd, Failing, Gibbs, and others. The Oregonian's last New York letter contains statement of several important facts which should DO the attention of the people of Oregon, and particularly of those who have a leading part in business here. It is observed that with a rapid decline of almost all kinds of goods in eastern markets, there is a very heavy rise in freights to the Pacific coast and elsewhere. It follows that our mer chants and people generally will be unable to derive the advantage they ought from a reduction in the prices of goods at the cast and from a sale of our own products for transporta tion to other markets. This state of facts suggests in a very practical and forcible way, the necessity of 'art in dependent trade for Oregon, remarks the Oregonian, carried on directly with the east by means of shippiug owned and controlled at home. Even if this should be impracticable to a certain extent, and though freights should not be materially reduced by the fact of the shipping being owned here, we should at least by this pros cess get our trade clear of the em- barrassments it suffers by passing through so many hands, and thus re lieve it of no inconsiderable part of its burdens. Any project looking to the accomplishment of results of this sort would deserve attentive consid eration Gail Hamilton deplores the fate of a youDg woman she knows, who is to be married and live in Chicago. Whereupon the Cincinnati Convner cial remarks: 4 Gail forgets the Chi cago probability that the bride will be divorced and batk home iu. less than i s-ix moutu ha." IMMItSKAfVT AID SOCIETY. It is the interest of the State, and of every individual in the State, to increase the number of its inhabitants thereby developing the rich material which sleeps in the soil or in the mines beneath. Industrious and la borious hands are indispensable to this ; and to draw them hither is the very first duty of Legislative autbor- We should never lose sight of this fact, that our great "Western States" on the Atlantic side, have most of them appropriated large annual sums to superinduce immigration from Eu rope, and have organized boards of commissioneis, as well as appointing agents at home and abroad, for that express purpose, while Oregon has done nothing whatever to help the distant stranger, either by informa tion or aid. However humiliating to our pride this may be, we have only ourselves to blame ; a narrow-minded policy, and a want of comprehensive, states' manlike view on this subject of such para mount importance, have for years past prevented any action on the part of th. !o toward the promotion of its most v-.al interests, while other sections of the country have been straining every nerve, and liberally expending their means to secure that prize which is the source of all wealth Population. Hon. Schuyler Colfax raised a large fund the past season for the benefit of the Grand Army of the Republic by delivering his lecture: " Across the Continent." The sea son closed on the 9ih. Tho follow ing " terms" were dictated by him on every occasion: " The only " terms" I make with you are that I shall not be asked to accept any pay for lec turing or traveling expenses, so that the entire proceeds, without any de-. duction, may be applied ft-r the ben efit of disabled soldiers, and destitute widows and orphans of those who died that the Republic might live. If it softens the rigors of the coming winter to any of them, I shall be more than compensated." Mrs. Lincoln. The professions of attachment to and anxiety for the Republican party, which Mrs. Lincoln couples with her complaints of the ingratitude of that part towtuds her self, will be received with some al I lowanco from one who never shared with her husband tho confidence of the party that elected and supported hurt during the rebellion. This un pleasant affair of hers seems to be nothing less than a very badly managed attempt to speculate upon the feelings of the American people, and deserves, as it receives, univer-. sal condemnation. Ticknor & Fields of Boston are doing the reading public a great ser vice by producing all of Dickon's works in the styles adopted by them. Now that " Charles'' is in this coun try to lecture, we advise our friends to read up at their leisure moments. These little voiumns are cheap, and one can purchase them as they are issued and not feel the diminu tion of the size of his purse. The illustrations continue to be of the same artistic character as in the first volumes issued. Advance of the Pacifc Railroad. The Northern Pacific Railroad is completed as far Cheyenne, at the foot of the Black Hills, and by next September the Southern branch will have reached Denver. Almost be fore we are aware, the iron-bands will be drawn from the Missouri to the Pacific, and united at Salt Luke. Philip Ritz speaks of the Minne sota Emigration being at Couer d' Alene on the Tth. They number 2G wagons, 11 families, and 115 persons. The detention of this party at Helena will probably keep most of them from reaching Oregon, and Walla Walla Valley is likely to be their future home. General Lewis Wallace and his wife, of Crawfordsvillc, Indiana, have been lately devoting themselves to literature. Persons going east should watch the sailing of t he opposition steamers Vindictive. There is a little scrub-by-louking copperhead paper pub lished away down in Yamhill county Oregon, which every now and then inflicts us with a number with an "X" marked on the wrapper.

General .Mower has issued an order sus pending a number of judges and other officers in New Orleans. A Cuban, for some time a resident of Vera Cruz, says he forsees revolution in Mexico, probably about next January. The result of the Mississippi election is doubtful. It is believed that the Conven tion is defeated. The Herald's British Columbia letter says every inhabitant except the officials is 'openly advocating th-' annexation of ' that country to the United States. Porto Rico papers of November 4th give full particulars of the late great storm in the West Indies. The previous reports are fully sustained. At St. Thomas the damage was very great. Dispatches are received announcing the gratifying intelligence of the safety of Dr. Livingstone. The Doctor was known to be safe and well, and was then exploring the waters of Africa,hundreds of miles from the sea coast. A Herald's Havana special says Tega tholi'has been tendered an escort of troops to convey Maximilian's body to Vera Cruz at the government's expense. Alt public demonstrations within the Mexican juris diction are forbidden. The Custom House authorities at San Francisco seized a large quantity of opi um. o:i board the Great ll'-puhlic, which the Chinese passengers had attempted to smuggle into the country packed into small tin boxes and secreted within the staves of tubs. Humor says that prominent counsel have sailed for California to reopen the Santillo claim on new evidence, which it is -claimed proves that Santillo did fulfill the conditions of the grant. The scheme is backed by Joe Palmer. Levi Parsons, Fremont, Leonidas Haskell, Geo. Wright, Chas. Gould, and others. Grant's report on the estimates of the expenses of the War Department for next year is $90,000,0)0; the strength of the regular army will 51,000. The report is silent regarding tho continuance of the Freedmen's Bureau, but indorses all the military commanders in enforcing recon struction. It says Sherman is of opinion that peace with the Indians is firmly es tablished. Advices by the Greed Repuh'ic report that Stanger, late defaulting manager of the San I'racisco Sugar Kelinery. upon his arrival in China, represented himself as the manager and agent of the refinery. The merchants gave a grand banquet to him and treated him with the utmost consider ation. He played his opportunity for alt it was worth, chartered two vessels to load with sugar at Manilla for the Refinery, dis charged their agent in China and appoint ed a new one, and finally drew drafts up on San Francisco to the amount of six thousand dollars, and got them cashed. He undoubtedly absconded again before intelligence of his rascality reached China. CONGRESSIONAL. Congress met at noon on the 21st, 12 Senators were present. Sumner endeavor ed to introduce a biil to secure equal rights in the District of Columbia being the same bill fiat parsed last session, and was pocketed by the President. It was object ted to by Edmunds, who offered a resolu tion which was printed, declaring that the faith of the nation is pledged to pay the debt in gold, except where it was other wise specially provided. Adjourned till Monday. The House met at noon. The galleries were crowded. After prelimin ary proceedings the members elect from Tennessee were called by the Speaker: they took the oath. Kldridgo objected to administering it to Stokes, on the ground of disloyalty. It was moved to refer his credentials to the committee on elections. I'rooks (Democrat) objected to tho oath being administered to any of the Tennes see members, oti the ground that the State had not a Republican form of govern ment: also, two of the members elect had taken the oath of all riance to the C federate Government. I'rooks denounced the fiT.ncLise. taw of Tennessee and the manner of holding elections, and was specially opposed t j the adms-sion of I hit ler and -Mullens, on the ground that both had given proof during the rebellion of disloyalty to the ( tovern.ment, by giving aid to the re'( lion. Fldridge brought up against Stokes his letter to Duncan, when a long debate en sued and various motions were made and lost ; finally all the Tennessee members were sworn except Duller, whose creden tials were not proper. The credentials of a delegate from New Mexico wero referred to the committee. The delegates from Montana and Wash ington Territory were sworn in. The Speaker said the next business in order was the report of the progress made since July 20th, by the Judiciary Commit tee, on the question of impeachment. Their report might be made immediately. Wilson, chairman of the committee said the report would be ready on Monday, w hereupon the House postponed the exe cution of the order. Robinson, of New York, introduced a question of privilege in the charges against Minister Adams, for neglecting to do his duty in failing to protect the rights of American citizens in Ireland, demand ing investigation in order to present ar ticles of impeachment if the charges are true. Also to request the President to order Adam's recall. It is generally conceded that Congress will repeal the cotton tax. The Judiciary Committee is preparing a report on impeachment to be submitted on Monday. The result cannot be con jectured. BY ATLANTIC CABLE. A dispatch from Constantinople says the SnRan is dangerously ill. The Pontifical troops are actively en gaged in fortifying the approaches to Rome, and building substantial works of defence. The Rank of Italy is about to issue notes of one franc each to supply the deficiencv of email coin. The speech of Napoleon had a good effect on the Italians. They believe the words of the Emperor imply tho ultimate gratification of the wishes of' Italy. Government is concentrating a strong force of military to prevent an' outbreak! or attempt to rescue cundemned prisoners at Manchester. It is reported that Minister Dix has pro posed to the Emperor that tho United States bo represented in tho coming cren eral conference. The Emperor approved the proposition. In the House of Commons. Lord Stanly said England had been invited to join a General European Conference, but refused unless a distinct plan of action was pro posed. He thought participation iu such a congress would only add to the respon sibilities of England, without doiii" anv good; Nearly all the members who spoke condemned the course of France ia send ing a military expedition to Duly. Parliament opened on the Rlth. Queen was not present. Her speech was read by aKoval Commission. She savs sue had no other alternative but to send an expe dition to Abyssina, and asks an appro, el ation for expenditures. She hopes Napo leon will withdraw his troops to avoid un friendly relations with Victor Emanuel .-he refers to the Fenian disturbances, and' conc.ndes with promises that Govern. to-.t will introduce a reform bill for Scotland and Ireland. The Ton" warmly praises Napoleou s speech, and regards" it much more liberal, peaceful and sensible than any previous one. The Queen speech in parliament, and Napoleon;s pacific address have had a tranquilizing effect in Europe, and restored confidence in the principal political and financial centres. Yv'e heard of a man iu Portland the other day who would not suffer a rat to be molested about his premises, because he. ?.tid it was much healthier to have them.
