Ju'en, Septtabir V), W1J, THE LOST WHALING FLEET. Advices received from San Francisco, on tho morning of tho 21st. brought tho news of a terrible disaster in tho Arctio Ocean. It appears that in the spring of this year a Host of f-oventeen whalers were bound northward in tbo Pacltio Ocean, working their way up through Bohrlng'a Straits tow ard the Arctio Sea, where it was supposed during tho summer season they could find a good cruising region of comparatively open water. On June 1st, they commenced taking v. alms, soon engaging all which the vessels had casks for. Between June 20 aud July 1 the fleet were employod In working over toward Point Barrow, a promontory Jutting out in the Arctio Ocean, which con stitutes the most northerly projection of tho laud formerly known as Russian America. As fast as tho Ice oponed the fleet kept on. About the 7th oi July ouo vessel, tho bark Arctic, was caught in tho ice and crushed, her crow escaping to land, afterward being taken on board of the bark Onward, and thence distributed through the fleet. About the 1st of August fourteen of the other ships reached Point Barrow, the Northern Light and Norman having remained sea-walrus-lag, thus luckily escaping tho disaster which overtook their comiades. Tho 14th of Aug ust brought large numbers of whales, the ships being active in pursuit of them toward tho Nortlicnsf, the wind holding from tho West. A chango In tho latter caused tho fleet to seek shelter under tho Ice of Point Borrow on its' southwesterly side, uhoro they remained only about four hour?, run ning South to Cure Smith, viilh tho excep tion of two vessels the Ksinbow and Threo Biothors v.hieh were anchored at the l'ciut. Tho len vessels oil" Capo Smith soon became surrounded by pack ico, and thenceforth wore In constant battle with tho elemonts, lighting simply for tho salvation of lifo among tho crews. Ono vessel, tho bark Florence dilfted In under the lee of agiouud oil iceberg, and to that teeming mlsfortuno owed her salvation; anothor, tho Clara Bell, having lost her rudder, ran closo in shore and anchored, tho Ice threatening destruc tion, until once moro did a huge borg inter vene, grounding just outside of hor in such position as to allord a complete breakwater. One ship tho Marengo, vvhllo under full sail, was within threo or four longths of tho open sea when the ico suddonly closed in front of her grasping remorselessly, as f with in telligent purpose, tbe doomed craft. Crows essayed to reach tho shofe, but, owing to the broken and moving condition of tho ice, were repelled with death and loss of com rades. Finally, several of the masters hold a consultation on board tho Java and find ing that they had only an aggregato of throe months' provisions, rcluctlantly concluded to abandon tboir vessels and try to escapo beforo the iron grasp of winter should lock them in bsyond all hope. Tho ships were then between twenty and thirty miles trom shore, Jbe nearest point being the 'West head of Smith's Bay. On the 5th of Sep tember the crews or tho Camilla, C. How lane, St. George, Marengo, James Allen, Desmond, Acors Barnes, Onward, Josephine and Java prepared to attempt gaining tho shore. Tbe picture, as Imagination readily df plots it, mnst havo boon a sad one. All tho hopes of a fruitful voyage nipped In tbe bud; tbe total venture of worldly possess ions abandoned forever; hunger, privation, dospalr staring overybody in tho face; an attempt to savo bare life against seemligiy overwhelming chances, Tbe boats had been placed In tbe best possible condition, and no precaution omitted which opportunity could aflord or experience suggest. For sustenance they had twonty-flvo days' ra tions of bread and meat, a change of cloth ing, and one blanket for each man, all else, save guns and ammunition have, been left on tbo vessels, Their chief reliance was to find open water enough Insido tho ground Ice to aavlgato the boats southerly, and once boyond the pack to reach tbo two ships which were sea-walrusing outside. Tho journey shorewards was terrible, re quiring tbo real distance three times to be traversed. First tbe provisions and baggage wore carried ahead half a mile, then tbe party returned for the boats and dragged them along. Tbe Ice, rough and broken, was In places thin and unreliable; men fell threugb, and, becsming wet, suffered in tensely 'from tho cold. A portion of the crews became dishearten ed and returned to the ships. Their fate will probably neyer be known. Those who per severed reached Point Barrow only to find tbe two ships there frozon in, Tbenco com menced a long arduous Journey overland toward tbo open sea, ono hundred and thir ty miles d,atant. Finally tbey found tbe bark Florence, and aftorward wero Joined by tbe two vessels from Point Barrow, which had escaped throngb an opening In tbe Ice. Tho synopsis Is that one vessel was crush 0.1 early in the season, and eleven others luft, liopolewdy entangled in tbe Immense pack, haviug, as far as Is known, about one hundred men en board of them. These un fortunate wretches have no probable chance of escape whatever, and their Uvea may be truly said to be sacrificed to the cupidity of ship owners, who send out easels too scantly provisioned for the contingency of wintering In the Arctio regions. Tbe disaster is one ot tbo most spelling of Its kind which history bas been called upon to chronicle. It may be gratifying to know that the ship owners aro well insured, bnl tbe question arises, "Whq will take care or the sailors' widows and orphans T" Bkkth for Cow h, Last year I raised a lot of mangolds and carrots. The mangolds wero h&'liered tint and put in the cellar; afterwards (ho carrots were patherod and corded' up en top of them, to that when I bezau to feed thfin to my caw, ti.o carrots cam 9 tint. Tbe cow gave about ber usual quantity of milk, except the usual shrinkage on tho accession of cold weather and being put upon dry fodder. Fearing that tbe beets would not koop as well as tho carrots, and also thinking tbey possessed better mllk produclng qualities, I was anxious to got at them. Accordingly I romovod part of the carrots and commenced foedlng tho beets, when to my surprise, my cow began to fall of her milk until tho deficiency reached to about one third. Wishing to test tbe matter still further, I changed bick again to carrots, when her milk Increased to about tho usual standard. Cor, Rural yew Yorker, Capt. McDonald, of the schooner Star of Fiji, has given the following particulars of tho master and crow of tbo Dancing Wave. Tho Dancing Wave, chartered by a pearl fishing company in Sidney to recuit labor lor their pearl-tisborlos, aud commanded by Capt. Harrison, arrived in Maklra harbor, Solomon Group, In May, and ongagod an American negro named Freeman, as recus ing master, also a boy bolonglng to Maklra. She left for tbe Island of Guadalcanar, ro cuitod 12 laborers, and stood for the small group of islands (the Floridas), catno to an chor, and began reculting. The men on board all spoko English. As each man con sented to accompany tbo vossol he rocoived a tomahawk or n knife as an acknowledge ment of the engagement. Soou after, tho na tive?, with a yell, sprang upon the crew and commenced backing thorn frightfully with tho tomahawks, whiloono sobed tho last, ground sharp from tho hands of tho carpen ter, and planted it in ills head. Tho captain fared no better, for as ho was writing a namo in tho book ho was struck down. He, vvltti tho mate, steward, and ouo of tho crow, managed, amid the blows that vvoro showered upon thorn, to get down to tho cabin, where the captain expired. Tho steward got a re volver and shot himself. Tho malo said, ''I am dying, and I will do tho samo." The scamau got a rille, loaded it, and llred through a porthole Immediately aftor bo heard the? report of another gun or revolver, and on turning round saw that the mate also had shot himself. He then lost all eolf-poss-osslou, and going on deck Jumped ovorbord. Byastrangocoincldonco tho shot thus fired kill the cbicf-in-command of the murdorous assailants, who thoreupon used all spcod In getting clear of tbo vessel. Tbo vesel was subsequently found windbound ot Guadal canar. Tho seaman who was tho solo sur vivor was wouuded iu several places, having rocoived a blow on the h'oad and a largo gash on his shoulder, and nu injury with n bolt on his epino." LANE COUNTY. Cottaok a hove, Nov. 27, 1870. Kd. Farmer: S'iv I rent the ticket that came in tbe Farmer to the Art Company In Cincinnati), Ohio, and received tbo ohromo, God's Promise, I am well pleased with it, It is very appropriate, and tbey deserve muoh credit for their liberality. Thinking a few items from this part of the country mlghtbe Interesting to somoof your readers I send tbo following : This Is A mountainous region, and as healthful as any portion of tbe Willamette Valley, our vallies are narrow and produc tive; with proper cultivation we raise flno Wheal, oats, barley and all kinds of tame graasos grow" well. Tbo Original wild grass Is very scarce, hence we bave to resort to sow tame grasses for our stock, whloh Is much tbe best once we bave It. Those de siring to find homes, or take up land, might do well to visit this portion of country, bnt they need not come with tbe expectation of finding smooth prairies or moadows to take up, but, tbey can Hud plenty or land that will niako good homes by clearing and put ting It in cultivation, and by slashing down the brush and sowing grass seed on the burn after the brush is burnt op, and also good crops of wheat has been raised in this way without plowing, Just sowing the grain on the ashes and harrowing thorough ly. But those that do not want to grab or clear land to make a borne had bettor go to some other part of Oregon, for it requires money or labor to get or make a farm hero now, in this part or Oregon. Now, as to my sol f, tho best grain and vegetable land "that I have on my farm Is land that I have cleared or grubbed out myself, end I havo raised two hundred bushels of potatoes por aorothls year, and other vegetables In pro portion, rJo persons wishing to locato here need not fear of starving as everything in tbe produce line Is very cheap this year. Wo havo a comfortable church houso atCottago Grove and school and meeting house four miles east of GotUgo Grove! In my neighbor liood; here wo bave a splendid sobool taught by a Mr. Urlstow. We draw monoy enough to support a six months school In the year. Our school district Is a very largo ono, and so cut np with the streams that about one half or the patrons cannot send to school or to tbe district sobool houHe, so we have acted tbo Christian part and divided tbe sobool fnnd with what is known hero as the eastern portion of 6"nr district, lbey bave built a snug little school house and are conduct ing tbolrown school. Bo you will see tbat we bave charity with those of oar neighbors that aro scattered and settled in the moun tains, and all share alike If tbey can send at all. The Cumberland Presbyterians bave meeting here once a month. Tbo Csmpbel itee or CbrUtlaus bave preaching once a month. Tbe Methodists preach once a month, and we have social meetings.every Sabbath at our school bouse. The bunts man's horn and tho crack of tho rlllo aud shot gun aro heldoin board now on the Nab bath day. So you will set) that drunkenrtta and tho old sport are melting away before civilization as it advances, May tbo day speedily come that lbey will bo no moro. J. J. BY TELEGRAPH. Philadelphia, Doc. 1.

It states that about noon , 24lh lilt,, whlio marching In n southeasterly direction, toward Sioux Pass of Big Horn mountains, flvo advance scouts met him, reporting that tho main camp of tho Cheyennes was about fifteen or twenty miles distant. About sun set tho command began moving toward tbo hostllos, reaching tho village aftor daylight, compleloly surprising tbo Indians, and com pelling them to vacate tbe village suddenly and tako rofugo in a ravlno, niter n brisk llRht, lasting nn hour, skirmishing until night, when tboy capitulated. Tho ontiro village, having 173 lodp;os, with nil Its con tents, was destroyod. Flvo hundred ponies wero captured, and twonty-flvo Indian bodies found.

I c.uinot commend too highly this brilliant aobiovouiont and gallantry of troops. This will be a tcrrlblo blow to the hostlles, as these Cbeyeunes wero not only tho bravest warriors but havo beou tho head and front of most of tno raids and deviltry committed in this country.

The Vionna correspond ent of tho 'Jhmes says In a circular dispatch: Tho ambassador of Russia does not claim the right alone to occupy Turkish territory. He wishes the other Powers to take part, but If they refuse, she will take Us execution in her own hands. Russia will Ignore tbo Turkish Constitution. She claims Turkey has already invalidated Iho treaty of Paris by not meeting obligations to Improve the condition of Christians. This Is the general line of policy lo bo followed, A dispatch from Berlin says, an order whloh Is in preparation for calling out all Russians under 60 years of age Is regarded as proof that the government la preparing for all contingencies and has depressed the St. Potorsburg bourse. London, Deo, 2. A special from Vienna, says tho commanders of Iho lour Russian mobili7od corps have arrlven at KIchluoff. Tim Opinion, of Home, says the Marquis-of Salisbury's declarations exolude tbe Idea of Knglnnd's going to war with Russia, but it regards war between Russia and Turkey as inovltablo.
