Sal nrd?y April 17, 1869. -A man is what llis wife makes ' -e " ' " ' hint The Portland correspondent of the Unionist states that over $9,- 000 of city taxes remained unpaid April 8th" A Madrid correspondent of the International says with shocking indelicacy: "General Prim is be lieved to be the father of No. 3 and No. 5 of Isabella's: little ones. The Albany Democrat says there is nothing strange about the fact that the P. T. Co. should oc casionally do a praiseAvorthy act and Cites Nero, to show that ty rants in olden days, on some occa sions, did noble deeds. A private letter from Toledo, Benton county, contains the follow ing: Times over this way promise considerable life during the coming summer. ' Parties in San Francisco .are making arrangements to build a 200 ton schooner here. Capt. Dodge is preparing to construct a propeller for Coquille River. Extraordinary deposits of gold have been discovered in Sutherland shire Scotland, located: on a farm tenanted by Mr. Rutherford, whose grounds have been suddenly trans formed. . , What was a sheep walk but a short time ago is now called the " Diggings," and the rural bum has become the "Gold Creek." -The following are the officers of Aumsville Division, No. 2, Sons of Temperance, for the ensuing term: Dr. S. K. Raymond, W. P.; TV. f . T CirA. t wr t . Charles Bowie, W. A.; "William Simpson, R. S.; E. Orling, A. R. S.; Kate M. Keller, F. S.; Harriet 0. Savage, T.; AV. II. Smith, C; Mary Lewis, A. C; Ara Wilcox, 1. S.; T. J. Wilcox, O. S. This di vision now numbers 48 members, a gain of 30 members since the division was organized, January 23d, 1869.. Mr. Aldrich, of the State Rights Fishery, proposes this sea son to put up pickeled salmon in kits, using Bancrofts New Jersey Cider, a purely vegetable article imported, Armes fc Dallam of San Francisco, will furnish the kits made of Oregon Cedar ; and the salt will come from Liverpool. As the lish swim to our waters from abroad we consider that Oregon - - has little to do in the manner of furnishing this product an expe rienced New Brunswick fisherman catches and cures them. Every word and every act of General Grant, thus far, indicates that he will make retrenchment and economy the paramount ideas of his adnunstration, and that he will cut his way to this accomplish ment without fear or favor, through ranks of foes and trends alike. It pleased us to note in the dispatches a few davs a:ro that he had with drawn the name of Eilwood Evans for a place, having heard of his at tempt to ride a horse of Copper Johnson color in 18G6. No man will secure a place in his confidence who has the faintest smell of corruption upon his garments. In this resolute purpose Gen. Grant will have the earnest and hearty co operation of the people. It "will fill the heart of the nation with joy to be assured that the reign of Ola Subsidy is at an end, ancTthat the era of economy, of virtue, and of true patriotism, has begun. The bill introduced into Con gress by Senator Williams, allow ing the East Side Railroad Compa ny to file its assent to the designa tion of the last Legislature," by which the commnv ivns tn rnpoii-P the grant of 1 2,500, acres of land per mile to aid in the construction of the road, has become a law, having passed both Houses and re ceived the signature of President Grant.;' Hon. I. II. Moores, Presi dent of , the Road, informs the Far mer that this insures a road at once. Men will be employed, and the work will be rushed along as fast as money will do the work. By the passing of this bill a hundred miles of English iron which is now afloat is secured by this company. Some of the iron has been out six- t v days, and will be here inside of three months. There is not a pound of American iron to be had. On the passage of this bill depend ed in a great measure the- early completion of the road. ,v,: , WHITE PINK T This Is the name given to the region, where there Iris recently been opened a new "storehouse '"of wealth ' For " many week.? and even months past, the papers of the coast have contaiued glowing ac- counts of the discoveries there made, from correspondents who relate what they have seen and heard. The mines them selvesin the State of Nevada, about one hundred miles from the nearest railway terminus form a new, a modern mecca, to which hundreds and thousands of gold worshippers are thronging. We cannot in a newspaper article, describe in detail, the region known as " White Pine." We can onlv cive a ereneral survey of the con dition of things, as gathered from the pub- lished statements of those who have seen for themselves. " In the first place, the country is of b"t little worth, except for its mineral wealth. There are no large tracts of soil within the District itself, and such is the altitude, that if there were they could not be made productive. The altitude is from 7,000 to 10.000 feet, and the temperature conse quently very low. The warm season is short, and the severe weather in the win ter renders mining unpleasant if not diffi cult;. In a private letter from a former superintendent of the Imperial Company at Gold III! I. published in the Alta Gili fornia statements are made in regard to the richness, and the position or the deposits. He says : With the exception of ' Chloride Flat" there are no such things as horizon tal deposits, or beds of ore lying flat. He declares it as his opinion, from his impres sion of the country, " that more rich mines will be opened and worked in this district in the course of the summer than was ever thought of, even by the most sanguine." The condition of the deposits renders them easy of access, and nearly all the state ments agree in regard to their exceeding richness. Ic is not possible to determine how far these new silver fields extend. From Northern Idaho to the Mexican line and how much beyond no one knows, is a belt of country of which White Pine appears to be the center, through which rich deposits of silver are known to be scattered, and all of which is worthy of a careful examination." While many of the statements are unquestionably true regarding the richness of these deposits. for it is not often that men long pursue " a baseless phantom," others must be re ceived sails in grano. There is yet too much of uncertainty. The winter snows have rendered extensive explorations im possible. What has hitherto been accom plished, has been of a character to awaken expectations, rather than to afford positive evidence of great permanent results. A few fortunes have been made, more per haps, through the advantage taken of the excited hopes of adventurers, than by any other process. We have no -statements in reference to the number of fortunes lost. During the winter but little mining has been done. Those who have gone there lor this purpose have been engaged in marking out claims, and preparing for uia., ueu lucwiuwsiwan uave meitfu. ...I il,. I ii is anticipated mat ironoies win arise between claiiu.tots. when the ground be comes bare, from the difficulty in recog nizing and denning their respective claims difficulties some of which will give rise to n great amount of litigation, others ot" whiea will unquestionably be settled in a summary manner. Speculators aud swindlers are already taking advantage ol the credulity of the gold-seekers. Bogus companies are ulready in operation in San Francisco, and elsewhere. Men atyj on the spot seeking far " wild cat'' claims while letters are beiug received from the East inquiring about claims of which no one ever heard. No one seems to take warning from the ill-fortune of others. Each man is confident that there are treasures deposited for him individually, and he plunges into the vortex of the ex citement. This excitement is of the same nature as those which in years past upon the discovery of Borne new mines, have done more to interfere with the stability of the population npon this coast, than all other causes combined. In the second place, the moral condition of things in that region is worth a mo ments consideration. The latest accounts estimate the population at 10.000 and up wards, while from fifty to a hundred upon an average, are arriving daily. Nearly all correspondents agree in describing so ciety as in its worst condition. A class of men, with no attachments anywhere, have been among the first to rush to this new si'veradu. Among these are a large number of desperadoes who have cluster ed around the termini of the Union and Central Pacific Railroads, and, who as these roads approach completion find their occupation gone, and like vermin, are compelled to prey upon society elsewhere. Those who have gone with honest inten tions, while waiting for the spring to open, to permit them to labor become the victims of sharpers and prostitutes. Gambling and whisky-drinking are rife. Vice in every form flaunts itself in open day, with lew or no restraints. There are large numbers who have but little respect for their own lives, and none for the lives of others. Upon the slightest provocations, some one falls a viciiai. Without doubt these evils will in time partially work their own cure, but it i? not pleasant 1o be mixed up in the reno vating process. We know of those, whom we would advise at once to go to White Pine, for the good of the society in which they live. But tbe conclusion we wish to draw from this brief survey is that every young man situated in life, with a charac ter to kefp had better think twice at least, before sacrificing present corafurt and prospects, to such uncertainties. Wht this State needs mrst of all is the develop ment of its agricultural reaources, and there is employment for all, who are' able and willing to work in this direction.

P UBLIG L ANDS IN OREGON. lot nor part in the lie jOreqonian and VTo claim no fifrht hptvroon tlie Urea on the Herald concerning the value of tho Innd arrant to aid in the co,iOIJir- Aea can m luc "3"- ij. r- t struction of the Oregon Central Railroad. But if, as the Oregonian insists, the whole land grant for a railroad would not build one mile of road then there must be a pre cious set of greenhorns in Oregon and the State " isn't worth a cuss ! " The Oregonian is far out of the rflv in this matter. It will learn from the report of the Commis-feaUsd V. i t i rai sionerofthe General Land Oflice for 1807, page 367, that there re mained unsold and unappropriated in this State, June 30th 1 80 7 af ter this Railroad grant of 1,932,800 acres had been made fifty-two millions seven hundred and twenty four thousand seventy-eight acres of lands. Now we are not willing to sav, with our knowledge of all this domain, that all the land in the Wallamet vallev has long been occupied, except a little nook cr narrow strip which might be found here and there in some mountain gorge. It is a libel on the State. Oregon contains an area of 95, 274 square miles or 60,975,300 acres of public lands, of this amount at the date above given 200,959 ac e h id been : old th'jie had been entered under the homestead law of May 20th, 1862, and its supple ments of 1864-66, 258,340 acres. There had been crranted for milita ry services 57,009 acres j for Agri cultural College 90,000 acres , for internal improvements 500,000 acres; for schools 3,329,706 acres; for universities 46,080. Under the act of September 27, 1850, 1,519,586 acres were donated to actual settlers. From the report of Mr. E. Z. Applegate to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, we learn that in addition to the lands pre viously surveyed, 405,450 acres were returned surveyed from June 30th 1866, to July 1st 1867, under contracts made with Hon. D. P. Thompson of this city, B. J. Pen- gra, John W. Meldrum and W. II. Odell and that at the time of writ ing there were six expeditions in the field. With all these at work ' - thero mugt haye been a ffreater area returned to the Commissioner, for report in his forthcoming vol ume, and there are yet several ex peditions in the field, and these have failed so far to touch upon all lands available so much so, that the State Agricultural Society, at its January meeting in Salem, memorialized the Oregon delega tion in Congress for an approjma tion to enable lands to be surveyed in the Wallamet valley, in Benton, Columbia and Clatsop counties, In conclusion we will quote a jar- agraph which we have previously published, on one or two occasions, showing the view taken of Western Oregon by the Commissioner of the (general Land Olhce, and pre suming that he is as capable ot judging correctlv, with all the facts and figures before him, as any newspaper Editor with only a part of the necessary information. The report says: " Western Oregon, the portion of the State first settled, and con taining the great preponderance of its present population, is 275 miles in length, with an average width of 110, being nearly one-third of the whole State, and contains about 31,000 square miles, or near ly 20,000,000 acres, all of tchich is valuable tor agriciuture. for graz ing, or for timber-growing, except ing the crests of some of the high est mountains. It is more than four times as large as Massachu setts, nearly three times as large as Maryland, and is greater in extent than the united areas of Maryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Khode Island." TVe have received an interest ing letter upon the situation of af fairs in Washington on our Rail road interests, but the amendment to the act of 1866 having passed both houses of Congress and re ceived the autograph of President urant mis matter is iaiu over, j inj? a r -1 m1 as t interest The lands diave not been lost to iswayned in the States respect tne btate ot Uwgon, and the Ure- ng. thig coast.

IVfitchel! writes an interesting letter to the Oregonian in wllich tlie lonS paragraph .appears, - explaining the dispatch Washington : ; I was not a little surprised in taking up. a few days since, the Daily Oregonian of the 8th of February,- trom which 1 learned that Mr. S. G. Reed, of Portland, now here' in the interest of the west side' company, had telegraph ed home that the bill of the Fast, Side company for an extension of time to file assent in the Depart ment of the Interior " had been de- in the Senate, tmd that you had learned from West bide au- thority that the effect of this action was to confirm the land grant to the West Side company. How Mr. Reed could conscientiously send such a dispatch would be very difficult of apprehension to any person at all conversant with the facts. Our readers are generally famil iar with the facts now that the west side chirped too soon. San Francisco is "playing Portland handsomely on the sea man question. The crews of coast ers generally rebel aud desert when they reach here, and news of this is sent east we presume, to deter masters of vessels from sailing tience unfler charter in the direct trade. Then anain a crew is taken on board, a ship in our port hand cuffed ani shackled like so many J felons tl.is will deter sailors horn enlisting hr the voyage to Port land. It is a deep laid scheme to drive oft the New York ships from this trade. We were told by the master of a foreign vessel, at Port land a few ilays ago, that the bro ker who picked his crew raged like a march hen because he re fused to take a sailor until he had seen him. The master had no sus picions as to what was the matter until he reached Portland where his crew partly deserted the shirj notwithstanding he had employed every man for a round voyage to Liverpool, and had paid each one an advance. We hope that this matter will receive proper attention at the hands of those persons whose interests are vitally at stake in the trade and commerce of foreign and eastern supply ports. The Carutiiers' Estate. The Washington correspondent of the Slate 'Journal writes : Some years ago certain parties "jumped" the Csiruthers' donation land claim at Portland and succeeded in erettinc; a patent for it. The case was de cided im favor of those who " jump ed" the claim bv Judge Shattuck, and that judgment was affirmed by the Supreme Court of Oregon. The case was appealed to the Su-prerr-3 Court of the U. S. Mr. J. II. Mitchell, the attorney for the Ca rutiiers' estate, has succeeded in getting a unanimous decision from the Court reversing the judgment of the Courts below, and declaring in favor of the estate. Their being no heirs of the estate, the land, which is said to be worth not less than $100,000, will go to the State of Oregon. The Herald has a classic style of literature which is quite popular among its readers we presume, as would be inferred by the extract we quote from an editorial of Sat urday last, under the heading of "Corbett and Josh!" eloquent that; refined; dignified. But the Herald says: The biographer ' then resorts to the heraldic lore and settled it be yond dispute that a "Corbett" who had been one of the Barons who forced the Magna Charter from King J ohn at Runnymede was lin eal ancestor of our shopkeeper, and the family crest was derived from the family name, in Latin Corvus, in French Corbeau, in English, Corbett, or Crotc. We have no desire to dispute the genealogy, especially as the family resemblance is so striking, particularly as to the juvenile members thereof, or the Senator, "like a young crow, has more gab than guts." We know we need not apologise for the use of this adage to that class of readers who are familiar with Democratic journalism. Oh, no; oh, no! not at all, it is perfectly familiar to them. The Register learns that II. C. Victor Esq., has returned from the Feejec Islands, by the way of Syd ney, and is in ,San Francisco, and will shortlv return to St. Helens. I Mrs. Victor is in New York pub- ! i i i 1 ,1 tt rpi. lisnmg ner worss euuueu ine North Pacific," and " Life of Col onel Joe Meek." They are meet- force. The Farmer says?, the time of holding the next State Fair has to the lltlf of October, to accom- , modate Countv Aerricultnral Sr;. I eties. The Democratic JPrcss theo rizes that it need never be feared that this place will be detrimental ly affected by; earthquakes; because, you see; as Sam says: if it be true that a house built upon a rock can not be shaken, then it follows that a number of houses built . upon a rocky foundation cannot be shaken, consequently Oregon City is safe "Don't you see!" The writer then proceeds to describe this future Lowell : Besides having a rocky founda tion, Oregon City has a rocky wall extending nearly its whole length, a distance of about half a mile. This wall is about one hundred feet in height, and it separates the low er from the xqyper town. The low er town is built on a narrow plateau, bounded by the wall on the one side and the river on the other.' The city is principally composed of a double row of houses 6n each side of one street running through the middle of the plateau. This pla teau at its northern extremity opens into a river bottom about half a mile in width and a mile in length. This river bottom is looked upon by the surrounding houses rather suspiciously; instead of boldly en tering upon and taking possession of it, they stand aloof on lofty emi nences, and eye it with a dubious aspect. 1 he reason of this is that this "beautiful and rich river bottom, oftentimes and without notice, be comes the bottom of the river. The upper town, which is composed principally of dwelling houses, has an area of half a mile in width and three-fourths of a mile in length. This part of the town has a healthy location and is very picturesque in appearance. The city contains about one thousand inhabitants, five churches, two grist mills, a pa per mill, a foundry and a woolen factory. This factory has about seventeen hundred spindles and is in full operation. The principal feature of Oregon City is its unri valled water power; indeed the whole of the Wallamet river might be used, if necessary, for this pur pose. Oregon City is no doubt destined to become the chief man ufacturing city of Oregon, and per haps of the whole Pacific coast. While riding in the cars soon after his arrival in this country President McCosh was thus addres sed by an inquisitive stranger. "You will not be offended if I put the same question to you which Pharoah put to Jacob, 'How old art thou?' " Dr. McCosh's answer was: "If you divide Jacob's age by two, and subtract five, you will have my age." As the stranger didn't know Jacob's age, he got little information. The Corvallis Gazette is the upper river champion of the P. T. Co. In reply to a recent article, a cotemporary says: "There is a great deal of philanthropy now-a-days that is spurious; and it may be that the P. T. Company, to whose coat tail the editor of the Ga zette clings so tenaciously is not always actuated by the purest of motives in their acts of benevo lence. The public can form their own conclusions on this question." Valuable Land for Sale Cheap. "We know of 48f acres of good lands for sale in this county, being the land claim of J. L.
