Work on Masonic Temple San Francisco, has been resumed, and the building will be carried on to completion. Fessenden opposes the Hiwaiian treaty, because it is equivalent to free trade in sugars, rice, etc., to the det riment and damage of the South. The Presbyterian churches at Ligonier and Middleburg, Indiana. advertise for a " live man " to come ind labor among the nr.. An ungallant New York paper, noticing the departure of Madame Pan pa Rosa for California, adds " The steamer took out sis tons of other freipbt." o e 0 A fatal distemper or dog mur rain is prevailing among the cattle throughout Georgia. Numbers of fine milch cows have died of the dis ease, O Georgia has Cillen into line. Her Qlogislaturo ratified the 14th amend, ment on the 22d, and it is now part and parcel "of the Constitution of the United States. The Resolution states that Lisle Lester was the original " Mrs. Bloomer." Lisle now drops the nom de plume and proclaims herself Mrs. L. P. Iligbee, and disclaims short dress notoriety. A private letter from a well In formed gentlemen in California, indi cates the certain success of Grant and Colfax in that State but, give the Democrats all they claim, then they are defeated in the United States. -Torn Maguire has got into .another fuss about the Metropolitan. .If he were to come to Oregon and display but a part of his theatrical .enterprise he could make more money. by living at peace with the world ha would save it. We want him here. On the 20lh, in the House a resolution of sympathy with the Cretans, and an expression of hope that they would secure their inde pendence, was adopted. Thi3 is ood. Let Uncle Sam take no steps backward. We ore in sympathy w'th everything which turns to the risjht, and let us keep straight for ward? o Mayor Wallach of Washington, officially denies the story of there be ing two gambling houses in that city at which richly dressecRadies, con i . i f it ' i . J- nectea wun lamuies wnose sisuumg is high in the community, earnestly engage in playing "faro." lie says O that he has made most dilligent and particular inquiry, and can find no shadow of foundation for this asper sion of the ladfts of that city. o The thief who stole some silver plate from a Mr. McKean, of Terre Haute, Ind., writes him a letter from Atlanta, III., which he closas as fol lows: "Finally, allow me to respect- fully suggest to you in future that you will content yourself with cheap spoons, and spend your surplus cash in the cause of humanity and of Christ." Nearly all the Democratic pa spers in California had at their heads Ijaight for President, and not one of Q them favored Chase. Haight did cot get a single vote" .in the conven tion, while Chaso received one from the California delegation. These Democratic organs have a weighty influence with their party. Even B'gler, who was the first to hoist flaight's name, threw him off and did not once mention his name at New York! The fact proves that Califor nia preferred Chase to Ilaight. T6e whole tenor of the Demo cratic appeals to the people to sup port their nominees may be summed up in the expression: " Have faith in cs." And this may be illastrated ly a little story: A negro Divine once, in very cold weather, was ex horting quite a crowd of the anxious in a meeting house, ia the centre of yfhich was a red-hot stove. He got the faithful excited, and in their shouts and shaking of the floor, the fctove felPover. One of the brothers stooped to pick it up, but the heat drove him off. The preacher said: Pick it up, bruddert it won't burn vou; de Lord wou't let it barn you. Hhb faif in de Lord." The confiding brother stooped, caught bold of it, let go, leaped ia the air, and exclaim cd: "P bell be won't, And that is at what the people tbiak of th hwt otrc7:- 9ef? s,? bor? :"3:r Grant and Buckner. General Buckner is opposed to General Grant. He was a member of the Soldiers' New York Convention which declared for anybody against Grant, and he now goes for Seymour, who refused to send troops to fight the rebels ! But this is not the first time these Geucrals were opposed. They met once before at Fort Donelson, we be lieve, and Grant sent Buckner a note, of which this is a copy : To General S. B. Buckoer, Con federate Army : Yours of this date, proposing an armistice and appointment of com missioners to eettle terms of capitula tion, is jast received. No other terms thau an unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted. I pro pose to move immediately upon your works, I am, Sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, U. S. Grant, Brigadier General U. S. A., Com manding." And Buckner surrendered. We suppose that it is natural for Buckner to be in opposition now as then; but what of it ; he will surrender again as he did before 1 " Match Him." The Sandusky Register explains the scenic demon stration mide in the Chicago Conven tion upon the nomination of General Grant. It says that the picture which appeared on the rising of the curtain represented two pedestals, one on the right of the Capitol steps and the other on the left. On the former sat U. S. Grant, "as large as life," and on the pedestal beneath him was inscribed "Republican nom inee, 1868." 1 he other pedestal had no figure upon it, but was inscribed " Democratic nominee, 1868," indi cating that that gentleman had, as yet, no existence. Between the two sat a female figure, representing America, whose right hand pointed proudly to Grant, while her left was held out invitingly towards the Demo cratic pedestal, and her language was supposed to be " Match him !" These two words were inscribed on the can vas above America's head, and em bodied an invitation extended to the Democratic party. Reorganization. The Republi can County Committee of San Fran cisco met on the 6th and adopted the following : Whereas, The time has arrived for a thorough and complete organi zation of the Union Republican pnrty in the city and county of San Frans cisco, therefore be it Resolved, That the Union Repub lican County Committee, having in view the importance and great trust involved in the approaching campaign, do recommend to Union residents of each ward or precinct, the formation of" Grant Clubs" forthwith. Resolved, That for the sake of uniformity of action, we do recom mend and urge those wards or pre cincts at present but partially organ ized, to resolve themselves into " Grant Clubs." Resolved, That in the by-laws adopted by these Grant Clubs there should be a clause whereby each member joining pledges himself to support the nominees of the late Chi cago Convention and the Union Re publican ticket." Are the Democrats who are howling so hoarsely against the " bloated bond-holders'' aware that over one billion of dollars worth are owned by the industrial classes? Yet such is the fact. Nearly one half of the national debt being own ed by those who earn their dollars by the sweat of their brow. And this debt Democrats threatened have to repudiate. The Democrats pronounced Mc Clellan the greatest General of the Union armies, and Lee the greatest military chifftain of the world. Lee defeated McCIellan; Grant drove Lee from every intrenchment, and whip ped him on every field, at last forc ing him to surrender. Will some Democrat please inform us by what course of reasoning they now arrive at the conclusion that Grant is no General? The Pioneer Association of San Francisco has declared by a large majority to so amend its 'Constitu tion as to admit to membership peri sons who were resjdents of .California on or before September 9, 1S50, and all their male decendantsl This will greatly enlarge the Society, and will perpetuate it. The Sacramento As sociation has a similar proposition before it. The facts and figures recently sent to Congress by General Grant, on the subject of the disfranchised whites in the South, show that not over ten per cent, of the entire adult population are prohibited from vot ing. The talk about the disfranchised Southern whites is all bosh. They have more privileges than they de serve. We give this week the law of Congress, making appropriations for the expenses of the impeachment tri al of Andrew Johnson. The total foots up to $82,000. Where is that Democrat who swore that he knew this expense reached the enormous sura of ten hundred thousand dollars. " Whistling taught ia six easy OREGOS. The machinery for the Dalles Woollen mills arrived on Monday ex bark Almatia. W. K. Leveridge is President, and II. Bloomfield Secretary, of the Oregon Iron Works at Portland. Mr. Walker is preparing to re build his sash, blind, and door factory in Portland. Mr. James Lenaghan has re- ! .-, u n.,i:r: ti . ut- I land. Messrs. M'Craken, Merrill & Co., will dispatch the bark Whistler for Sydney, Australia, from Port land. We regret to learn that the new flouring mill of Messrs Beach & George, at Buena Vista, was de stroyed by fire on Sunday last loss $15,000 and no insurance. Mr. Eugece Semple, a former member of the Portland Bar, has ta ken charge of the local and news de partment of the Oregon Herald. Mr. Semple is fully qualified to fill that position. Rev. G. II. Atkinson took his departure on the steamer of Wednes day for the Atlantic States. We trust that the trip may prove a bene fit to hU worked and worn dowh constitution. Dr. Benson, late Editor of the P. C. Advocate, will reside at Santa Clara, California. His family If ft by the steamer of Wednesday, but the Dr. will remain in Oregon until Au gust. The new Custom house about to be erected at Astoria, will be 48x84 feet, and three stories in height, in cluding the basement. The founda tion will be built of stone, while the main walls will be built of brick faced with stone. The building is intended to occupy the centre of a block. According to the Bulletin Estes & Stinson's new mill at Portland " is capable of turning out an incredible amount of lumber." Where do they intend to pile this large amount of lumber, which we are told is " too extraordinary and improbable to ad mit of belief." The officers of Union Lodge No. 43, A. F. and A. M., were publicly installed at McMinnville on the 16th R. W. Deputy Grand Master W. D. Hare, of Hillsboro, conducted the ceremonies, and his addresses are said to have been excellent. The Unionist gives a description the new banking bouse, to be con structed at Salem, A. D. 1868, for Messrs Ladd & Bush. We quote as follows: " The buildirg is 24 feet front on Commercial street, Ly 75 feet depth on State street. The prin cipal entrance is to be on the corner, diagonally, fronting toward Moore's block. The front will be of iron, made by the Willamette iron works, of Portland, from plans prepared by Mr. Hallock. This is an error, the plan3 were drawn by Mr. John Nes tor, the architect for the new Port land Bank Ed. Enterprise. The front room which will contain the counter and public business depart ments, is 30 by 24 feet. The next room towards the rear is to be a pri vate desk and consultation room, i. e., the place where you must go if your business is confidential, or your cred it doubtful. This is 18 by 24 feet. Next comes the shop in the rear, 27 24f. which will probably be rented for a milliner's establishment, and we have no doubt will be largely pat ronized. The building will, without doubt, be the finest one ever erected in our town, and will be not only an ornament, to which wo may point with pride, but it will be an enduring evideuce of substantial prosperity. The Detroit Post received a communication reading thus: "The nigger arnt fitt to vote. He is to ig rant too be trust with the Fraiik shis." All writers and visitors agree that New York City was never mov ing forward in growth under so great a confidence of the builders and buy ers as at this time. General Sherman said: " If you admit the negro to this struggle for any purpose, he has a right to stay in for all, and when the fight is over the hand thnt drops the musket can not be denied the ballot." The Cbickerings are soon to erect a music hall, near Union square, New York, which will surpass the famous Boston edifice, and give New York, what, she has not, a really good hall for the concert and opera. It is said to be a fact that the Postmaster General has received let ters asking why Petroleum Y. Nasby is allowed to remain in his Depart ment while attempting to bring odium on the Administration. The word gas originated as fol lows: About 200 years ago a Ger man chemist, observed in some med icinal springs in Germany, a peculiar seriform substance -carbonic acid gas which from its peculiar ethenal Qualities he termed ehiest fghnstV from whence we obtain our present i RAILROAD ITEMS. The West side Company are ad vertising a great variety of lands " for sale, along the line of their sur- vey, in Multhnomab, Washington, and Yamhill Counties. The Oakland News propose a grand celebration at that place on Fourth of July 1869 in honor, not only of the day, but of the comple tion of the Pacific Railroad! The idea of such celebration is worthy of consideration; whether the place be Oakland or not. The San Francisco and Oakland press are discussing the probable lo cation of the terminus of the Western Pacific Railroad. Each talks as if confident of the spot the Oakland ers being satisfied that it will remain with them, and the San Franciscans have no doubt that it will go to their city. But now a bill has passed the Senate granting to that road the use of Goat Island as a terminus, and if itbecomealaw neither of the cites may secure the prize for which they have been so earnestly contending. Commissioner Frank Denver has returned from an official trip toward the new town of Wadsworth. He found the cars running to within three miles of Wadsworth, and did not prosecute his journey through to the town. He says the Central people have 9,000 men at work, and intend to lay 20 miles of track weekly from the Big Uetid eastward. Wadsworth is something less than 500 miles from Salt Luke, and at this rate or say 70 miles monthly the Central will make it a warm summer for the Union Company, which, we believe, is about the same distance off from Salt Luki-, and with a rougher country to work in mouutain ranges to contend against. i Deep sea soundings oil the Is land of St. Croix, WTest Indies, reveal the fact that bottom is found at a depth of six thousand feet, only a mile and a half from the shoie, from which it is inferred that St. Croix is the apex of an immense submarine mountain. Laying a submarine ca ble in that vicinity will be a difficult task. From ail partsof the West come the most cheering reports of the grain prospects for 1S69." Stimulated by the high prices of wheat, farmers have sown a far larger breadth cf ground probably one-third more than last year. Hence we may con clude from all the indications thus far developed that the wheat harvest of the West will be far larger in 1S68 than in any year since 1800, should the present favorable auspices con tinue to the clse of the season. The Ponoia, Mississippi Star, says that cotton and corn are both doing well, and a lull yield may be relied on. Wheat has all been har vested, and the yield turns out a full average crop. More sweet and Irish potatoes have been planted than ever before, and there will be large shipments of these articles this fall. Facts for Fakmkks. What farmer has not heard of Solon Robinson ? For many years the readers of the weekly Tribune have found excellent suggestions about larming in that paper. These good sug gestions for farmers were from the pen of Solon KobinsoD. He lives a little way out from the city of New York, on a large farm. He is a practical farmer. lie knows what he talks about. He can show you a good farm, good stock, good tools, and everything snug about bis premises. He is one of our best informed American farmers. Solon Robinson has written a book. He calls it Facts for Farmers,"' in two volumes. He has crowded the most valuable facts and the greatest num ber of them into bis new books that we ever saw in books of the same size. He tells his facts and then illustrates tbem by nice pictures. It is a real treat for people who are not farmers, to look over it. How much a farmer must enjoy it as he reads its clear type on clean white paper, with beautiful illustrations. It is a credit to any man to own such a book. It is the result of a life of GO years given to farm ing. We are indebted to that enterprising book establishment. II. II. Bancroft & Co.. San Francisco, for a copy of these works. They are the agents for the Pacific coast, we presume, and would no doubt like to have some active man take it, and pass through the country with it, calling upon the farmers, who could not neglect to buy a copy, as it is a complete encyclopedia of that business, and no intelligent man would fail to see the need of such a book. Address Bancroft & Co. The harvest of California 13 at least four weeks later than usual, we are in formed by Mr. A. R. Manley, formerly of this city, now resident of San Jose. The crop, however, will be immense, although slightly injured in some localities by wet weather and rust. The lowest estimates place the crop at 25 to 30 per cent, above that of last year. In Oregon some grain and much grass has already been cut. Clover turned out light, but the timothy ia superb. Wheat has not been injured, in any case that we are able to hear of. The prospect for an average of last year's prices is good. Farmers should remember that tho clean article always brings the best price. There is generally from three to five cents difference in the price of grain per bushel. "When you see an item ia the quotations such, lor instance, as $2.20 to $2.30 for oats, recollect that clean oats are worth $2.30. Docs it pay to put up grain shab bily for market! Mr. ChatSeld, of the Oregon Seed Store, Portland, is prepared to buy flax seed, and pay the hitrhest ca3t zrizf for U. cw Cablact EWlltlona or the Works or 'Washington Irving. In announcing several new editions, in a style of improved elegance and conve nience, of the Works of Washington Irving, the publishers would take the opportunity of acknowledging the good reception which his efforts in the presentation of these favorite writings have heretofore re ceived. In the several forms in which the various productions of the author of the "Sketch-Book" have been given to the public, it is estimated that the sale ha3 reached no less than fifty thousand of the series, or more than a million volumes. Nor is the demand yet abated. On the contrary, new exertions of enterprise are required to meet the desires of a new gen eration of readers, and keep pace with the progress of taste and refinement in th typographic and other mechanic arts of the publisher's calling. The motive of this perennial popularity is not far to seek. It is to be read on every page of the delightful volumes in which "Geoffrey Crayon'' infused the happy inspiration of his genius in his de votion to themes which will always be re garded by successive generations of rea ders with no ordinary emotions of interest. The charm of the felicitous style of Wash ington Irving, the reflection of the amiable poetic spirit of the truly reGned gentle man, would be felt on any topic on which the author had been pleased to bestow it. Cut it is for the ever-enduring fame of Irving (hat he close for the exercise of his pen, topics of undying value and import ance. In his inviting Essays on human life and character in portraying manners, as in the "Sketch-Book,"' Bracebridge Hall." and other volumes, he has touched, wilh mingled sentiment and humor, those emotions which are implanted in the hearts of all ; while his topics of biography, of history and romance, are of such world wide celebrity and passionate interest as the story of Columbus and his followers, with their discoveries of the New World ; the life of the founder of the nation. Geokge Washington', drawing with it the narrative of the Civil and Military events of America during his remarkable career ; the marvelous record of Mahomet, with the illustrations of the genius of his race in the romantic fact and legend of " The Tales of the Alhambra' and the " Con quest of Granada the felicity with which the author has linked his name with the birthplace of Shakespeare, the genius of Oliver Goldsmith, the fame of Scott and Byron, and, not least, the humorous in vention which, in Knickerbocker's irre sistible Chronicle of ew York, has im puted a mythic interest to the bare early annals of his native city. It is that the writings of Washington Irving may be claimed to be ia.perishable. till, what is not likely soon to happen, the same ever welcome themes are treated in some hap pier manner. The charm of Irving is his acceptability to all, a grace and refine ment to please the most fastidious ; and his peculiar merit Is readily appreciated by every reader; his good sense and hu mor, the air of enjoyment pervading his pages, has secured his works a home in both hemispheres, wherever the English language is understood. Of tiie few in dispensable authors in every American library, Washington Irving is certainly among the foremost. The delight of child hood, the chivalric companion of relined womanhood, the solace of life at every period, his writings are an imperishable legacy of grace ar.d beauty to his coun trymen. The new publications of these works will be in several forms of unusual ele gance, and all, in proportion to a moderate price for each, combining good taste with economy. The series will be issued in the following order punctually on the first day of each month until completed, beginning last October: Bracebridge Hall; Astoria; Wolfcrt's Roost; Bonneville; Sketch-Book; Mahomet, 2 vols; Traveler; Granada; Knickerbocker; Salmagundi ; Crayon Mis cellany ; Spanish Papers ; Goldsmith : Miscellanies ; Alhambra ; Washington, 5 vols ; Columbus, 3 vols ; Life and Letters, 4 vols.

PUTNAM A SON, C61 Broadway, New York City. A horrible trade is carried on between Texas and New Orleans. Cattle are wedged together as closely as they can stand on the decks of stt-'amers, for transportation across the Gulf, and during the voyage the torture to which they are subjected is said to be cruel and revolting in the extreme. Out of a single cargo re cently landed at New Orleans, no less than Hi of the unfortunate brute3 had perished, some having been trampled to death, and others having died for want of food and water. The scene on board such vessels are said to equal the slave trade in horror. Ask your neighbor to subscribe for the ExTEitriusz. beginning with Vol- IV MEMOIIIAM.
