We congratulate Mr. Trullinger upon his success. The members of the Union State Central Committee are requested to meet at Portland on Wednesd-iy the 15th of January, ISoS, For the pur pose of fixing the time and place of holding the next Union State Con vention, and transacting such other business as may come before the Committee. In counties where va cancies exist, the County Committees are requested to fill the same by ap pointment. We are informed that freights in New York, fur this coast, are. vert firm. Tins is owing principally to the demand for room for grain and petroleum to Kurope, and the in creasing demand for cotton vessels at southern ports. Therefore owners ars disinclined to send their vessels off on long voyages wldle there is a good business near by. The I oise Statesman gives some account of the operations of mining companies in Idaho. The whole of them, taken as a class, have beer, gross swindling machines.

OancoN Citv Emm Fstfrp-risb. i When I merely sought to cm vinco certain farmers of this valley that they were in the vvav of wasting some of their har-J- arned ,a in 1 the press generally perstcd in rep resenting that I endeavored to dis courage railroad enterprise of any character whatever in Oregon. The tenor of the articles relating to rail roads which have appeared in the Portland papers this wetk hi.s prompted me to the desire of putting myself squarely right on the record. These newspapers in suggesting the construction of a Willamette Valley Road with Eastern capital, and the connection of Oregon and Washing ton with the Union Pacific Railroad by the passes of the Columbia River audits tributaries, havestiuck the key note of the song that will ye sing this region into a state of growth and permanent prosperity unparallel ed in the history of our country x cepting always the city of Satv Fran cisco. I have made myself by per sonal observation very familiar with the progress. and prospective utd ty of the Central Pacific Railroad. came from the present eastern terminus of that road, here, fully convinced . that is a portion of a trans continental road, fulfilling the expectations of the people at large who have contributed so liberally to its support it was a failure. That us surdy as water iu a free s'a'e assumes a Lvtl surface the great Atlantic and Pacific high way would eventually settle down into the Columbia Valley; reaching the Pacific Ocean through Puget Sound, by way of Vancouver or Monticello. The Willamette Valley is ripe for a local road; but there is only one way of accomplishing it. Let the people, securey fjr the build- r anil safely for themselves, pledge their wealth in payment of interest for r. stated "number of years, and the money to build it can be readily ob tain ed. MUD SILL. The Alabamiaus are trying to passu law to free some of their white eitizens who have contracted mar riages with free negroes. While the Alabamians are about it, they had better pass a law to free some of their bhuk citizens, who have con tracted marriages with the whites. The blacks have doubtless been im posed upon, and while the whites ar.t repudiating their contracts, they should allow the blacks the same privilege. The pros? of Cilifornia are : fc."r 'ing'' Supt. Iloblitz.dl, of the State Reform School, f r cruelty to the ' at inmates. We think vigorous meas ures mny be ncccessary, if they have such boys in that institution as some we have in Oregon who ought to be in like Schools," and if the Super intendent finds it n?ccessary to nl most skin them alive, probably they, and the community, would be letter after it if the press of the State would mind its own legitimate busi ness, and not be-found tncouraging the boys in meanness. Railroad Accident. A fearful acciJent occurred 0:1 the Cleveland and Lake Shore Railroad on the lOth. The express train was behind time, and running at a high rate of speed. From some cause unknown the two rear cars were thrown from the track vv:th great violence. The roar car went over the embankment fifty feet, and was set on fire. Of fifty pas sengers only two escaped alive. The rest were crushed rmd burred to death. A mass of blackened and j charred remains only w as left. j . JL ! Southern Affaiks. Gem. Ilan- cock has ordered an election in Texas. for and against a convention, to con vene February 10th, and continue j four days. Each ballot presented by a negro voter is to be marked col ored. No soldiers will be allowed in the vicinity of the polls unless reg istered as voters. Gen. Prim having failed in his last Spanish insurrection, is ncv charged with cowardice and trcach erv : and the investigation has proved that the gallant General escaped from the city in the guise of a ser vant, carrying loggage. Col. Forney has heard Spurgeon s preach, and writes that he had rather be Charles II.

C Ti uliinger, of Oswego, has received notice that upon his ap plication, a patent has been ordered to issue for his " Improved Turbine Water-wheel,''' which, it is said by competent engineers, will eclipse all the wheels now in use, f.-r power and economy. A small one is now in use at Oswego, from thp operation of which, this judgment" is made up. We are informed that Mr. Trullinger has concluded a contract with the Willamette Iron Works to go to con siderable extent into the manufacture of the wheels. We have no precise information as to the probable cost of these wheels its compared with other favorite patents; but from rep resentations, we arc led to In 1. eve that they will be much less expensive. OrcfO'iiiin. One of those strange phenomena which are observed occasionally in nature, says the Stockton Imb-pend ent, was noticed Thursday night aboard the Jul'.a.
