Gcu. Adair, of Astoria, sends us

G win, tho nblo II. S. Senator from Cab
Ifornln, and a champion of tho Pacifle
Rutlroad, and Pacific luloresls. No
other man in tho United States has
worked with ns much industry and sue
ceis ns Dr. GhIii, nnd no man stands
higher there California owes him a
debt ho can never repay, for the mass
or legislation nnd princely appropria
tions ho has obtained for her.
As for the calumny Dr. Gwtn refers
to, It fell still born here, whera Gen.
Latin Is known, and where the lying
character of Its author Is knnjyn. We
doubt if a single man in Orrgon Kill
thought of It slnco Dryer uttored it:

I presumo there it no person In th

myself, sinco ho has been n delrgato in
Congress. Wo havo met almost daily
In consultation, in regard lo tho legis

only uorer saw the General intoxicated,
but never Haw htm touch nrdut spirit

any kind, during Ids resldenco lu the

Ho is ouo of tho most laborious and

have been crowned with eminent suo
