To satisfy fully the ends of justice, there
is unfortunately, no tribunal before
vhich nations, as such, can be brought to
S'vo account of their e!-eds while act
ing hi a national capacity. If it were
otherwise, history Avould not present pitch
Q "- revolting spectacle. Its d ark outlines
would be blended into milder shades, and
i!s sickening details would give place to
brighter landscape. Whatever political
theories the k-.idiiig nation of Europe,
havo been fon-most in advocating, they
nvo all ready to triumph in the possession
of ill-gotn-n spoils. With all the:r boast
ed enlightenment, they have not condemn
ed as obsolete the maxims of a ruder
age which identify the "right" with the
' power.' and make the end to be at
tained justify the process of attainment.
Ike selfishness of humanity asserts itself
in governments as well a3 individuals.
England ranks among the foremost in
her greed Gf power. She has sought to
acquire possessions in every part of the
world, and has been most tenacious in
her hold upon them. When the chances
of war have wrested them from her, she
La .submitted to her losses with a very
ungracious spirit. It would seem ass
thongh idie could never forgive the United
flatus for having asserted their independ
er.ee of her. There is something of the
coward in her national character, for
when we are .strong, in a condition to
maintain our rights, she will patronize"'
us. but when we are in a measure weak
ened, she will "bully"7 us. This spirit
manifested itself during the civil war.
Nowhere has her conduct towards us.
been presented in stronger colors, than
in the speech of Mr. Sumner on the John
son Clarendon Treaty. It is impossible
to conceive how an American citizen, so
thoroughly v jj.anfc of the course pur
sued towards us by England, during the
whole of tho civil strife, could have con
sented to the treaty upon the proposed
basis. If we are to consider lieverdy
Johnson, as representing in this act, the
feeling of the people of this country to
wards England, in view ot all the injury
she has inflicted upon us, we are certainly
so ready to forgive, as even to forgd the
demands- of justice.
Eut what kind of a treaty has been
made? We have not a copy of it before
us, but from the speech of Mr. Sumner,
we can learn its leading characteristics.
The object sought on the part of the
United States was reparation for the losses
inflicted upon our commerce, by rebel
privateers armed and erpiipped' in the
; neutral"' parts of Great ISritain. The
chief of these privateers was the Alabama,
hence our claims upon the English Gov
ernment are known as the "Alabama
claims.'' To secure a settlement of these
claims Mr. Johnson was sent to England.
Eut in the treaty which he Las concluded
with the E;i;isli Ministry, and which our
c-Mvernment is asked to ratifv. there is no
distinct recognition of these claims.
iNO
reparation is offered for the insults heaped
upon us dming these years of terrible
Sftri.'e. Li the preamble, which is declared
to be the key

to the whole treaty, pro vis

tho aggravating circumstances in the
case. The othf-r is, the readiness with
wu:ch she falsified her anti-slavery record.
England took active measures,' year? ago,
to free herself from the curse of "slavery,
and she has ever been ready to hold up
our own peculiar institution as a reproach
to us. Eut when the moment drew near
for . us to pass out from -under the cloud,
instead of extending a hand of sympathy
and bidding us ,! God speed' in the glo
rious enterprise, she deliberately sanc
tioned that government, which sought to
rear itself upon human bondage as its
chief corner stone. As the result proved,
her crreetimr implied something more than
an empty compliment. She rendered such
assistance as was virtually effective in
doubling the length and the intensity c,f'
lengtn and the intensity
the strife. She did all that the dare do,
while the nations were watching her.
And now that the day of reckoning has
come, she seeks to ignore as far as possi
ble, any "complicity in the struggle. .' She
manifests but little sense of what is due.'7
to an aggrieved and insulted nation.
Such a precedent as this, which England
seems disposed to establish, we can better
afford than she even though it costs us
dear We do not nrav for the time to
come when we can make it of value to
us, but should it ever come, throirgh any
eomplication of national interests, we are
confident that England will learn that
thosis ' who sow to the wind, shall reap
the whirlwind.'7

The farmers are considerably annoyed
this season by ihe ravages made upon
their grain fields by the squirrels.
The weather has been excessively
warm during the past three or four days,
and in consequence the roads are becom
ing very dry and dusty.
The amount of freight bound for the
upper country, passing through this city.
is daily on the increase now that the
weather has opened out warm and pleas

from below on Saturday evening last. He

The grain crop never was more prom
ising any season heretofore than it is this.
From all parts of the a alley comes the
general tone of satisfaction, and firmers
say that the yield will be larger this year
than the one just past. The amount of
barley sown seems to be greater than the
wheat, but enough of both lias been plant

but all likely wants of foreign markets.

COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY,

ivs- Wo Is.ivo learned the lol-
l0ilv - , focts n reference to report-
ed 'old discoveries on the head
waters of the tributaries of the
Molalla river. Some three years
ago an old California miner named
Sprague, was employed ly the
Oregon City Incorporated Mining
Company, to prosecute the work
on a quartz tunnel; specimens
have been discovered previously in
sufficient abundance and richness
to lead to a firm belief of an ex-
tensive gold-bearing lead. Sprague
.was employed several months in
prospecting and working. r or ins
services he was paid 'the sum of
700. A number of specimens were
found in digging the tunnel, which
were sent by Capt. Hedges at
that time President of the Compa
ny to the assay office in this city.
The result of the assay proved a
richness of AG95 per ton. Want
of capital' and confidence on the
part of the company, prevented
a further prosecution of the work
at the time. Since the first discov
eries, the company have from time
to time employed Spraguc to do
sufficient work to hold the lead, on
which they now pay regular taxes
on real estate. The tunnel has
been extended back into the moun
tain about tliirty-five feet. Speci
mens taken lrom the tunnel are
reported to be of a rich bearing
character, and only require time,
capital and labor, to develop into
a rich mine. During the time
Sprague has been employed by the
company, he has frequently been
prospecting '; on his own hook,"
and lias discovered rich surface
diggings along the lied of a small
tributary of the Molalla river,
called Lost Coffee Creek, which
will pay from :5 to 8o per day to
a hand. These diggings extended
along the bed of the creek for
about eight miles. The creek runs
through a deep defile or canyon
in the Cascades, inaccessible to
either horse or wagon. The hills
on each side, on account of their
acclivity, ruggedness and being
Covered with. a lieavv growth ot
timber, have not been extensively
prospected, but from the locality,
the indications are favorable for
paying diggings. Sprague has sold
one sluice right and '300 feet along
the creek to Wa Kee, of this city,
for the sum of-750, who will short
ly place a large number of celes
tials to work. The mines are fifty
eight miles directly east of Oregon
City, far back into th Cascade
range. These are facts, as related
to us by the man Sprague.
A Sao Accident. Mr. A. P.

wood on a circular saw, the stick
flew back, staking him on the

he fell on the corner of a work
bench, standing close by, striking
with the full force of the blow and
weight of his body, which broke
one of his ribs. Dr. Wilson was
called and dressed the wound, and
at last accounts he was doing as
well as could be expected. Mr.

progress in Farming Implements oi
well as n all other branches of indus
try, tee hove entered extensively upon
the Manufacture of the Celebrated
Fleil Ckoa Flow I
Better known in Oregon aslhp WOL
G A MO T PL O W, This Plow com .
bines all the desirable point's of a per'
feet inrphment., being simple in con
struction, cheap, durable, and of light
draft. The only Premimns which xoert
n worded to Gang Plows at the great
Implement trial at Mat toon, Sept. 4,
ltrOO, by the State Agricultural $oci
etij of Illinois, were awaraed to this
Plow. The following is an extract
from the Report of the Commissioner
of Agriculture, for the year I8CG, and
may be found on page 246 of that re
port :-
The G'arng Plow made by J. C. Pfeil,
Arenzviile, Cass county Illinois, is received
with no little favor in the west. Almost in-"
credible stories are told of its excellence
and etlicieney in plowing; thc prairie field.?
of Illinois and other States".
" The depth of the furrow is regulated bv
the crank-axle, which is so arranged that
the ploughs can be driven deeper or dial
lower at the 'pleasure of the driver,-wheu the
team isr lnovinsby !t;ear.i'of the lever.
We also mannfacture sulkey plows for
small boys, or infirm persons who are unable
to manair v. team of three or four horses.
This ani; or sulkey plow, will cut a fur
row from J to 10 inches deep.
"The committee who tested the draught
of this plow with u dynamometer state, that
it ran lighter by 14u pounds, than other plow;
when running at. the same depth, and he!d'
by the plowman while ou foot."
rS' With this Plots oris meni can do
more work than two men c(tn do with
walking Plows, and the same amount
; of team. Hence, it will be seen thai
it trill more than pay for itself in one
season's plowing.
ice will also manufacture the
