PROSPECTS OF TRADE ON TUB
COLUMBIA IllVEIl.
It is sometimes Interesting to speculate
upon the future, even when we bavo no sta
tistics of tbe past dpori which 'td build a hy
pothesis; but when facts and figures can be
deduced from past experience to lend specu
lation ft high degree of certainty, it then be
comes useful aj well ai interesting to mankind.
It is stated on undoubted authority, that
tbe transportation of freight on the Colum
bia River in 1862. (ihe year of the Florence
excitement,) amounted to six thousand tons.
In 1864, tbe quantitity bad advanced to near
twenty-two thousand tons an increase of
three hundred and fifty per cent, in three
years. From ten thousand passengers in
1861, tbe travel increased to thirty-six thou
sand passengers in 1864 an increase of
about one hundred per cent, a year. If
we allow that tlie rate of increase in the
future will be only half as great as in the
past, taking tbe year 1864 as our basis of
calculation, and considering the next four
years as a distinct epoch in tbe history of
trade and travel on the river, we shall ar
rive at some very startling conclusions. The
following would be the figures:
For 1866 ... 83,000 tons,
For 1866,
Death or John H. Scranton. The news
of John H. Scranton's death, at Madison,
Oonnecticnt, is confirmed. Be died on the
30th of September. He deserves a longer
obituary notice than is likely to be written
bout him. His goodness of heart was be
yond question, and bis business abilities in
the higher range of enterprises was very
great. By bis munificence he gained the
titleof " Magnificent John," and left to a host
of friends a thousand kindly recollections
of his many virtues.
Cbabbi or Fobokut, A man named Jone
was arrested yesterday morning on "general
principles' by Marshal Keeler. He was just
about to get off on the morning boat for Port
land, and it was only after arresting him that
any evidence of bis dishonesty was obtained.
He bad bought a suit of elotuing from an es
tablisbment in the city, and on inquiry it was
found that be bad paid for Ihe articles with a
check purporting to be drawn bv Lieut. Henry
' Catley, the regimental quartermaster of tbe
First Oregon Infantry. The check was for
$140, and further inquiry broughtout tbe fact
, that another for $130 bad been put in eircu
' latton. Tbe blanks which had been attached
to tbe checks, or similar ones, were found in
Jones' coat pocket.
Virt Clear The Oregonian thinks ibat
the negro insurrection in Jamaica is ody a
disturbance between' the negroes themselves,
Total 106,000
After four years from now, it is reasonable
to believe that a.a much freight will come up
tbe river each yenr as came in the four
years preceding 1865. The passenger traffic
may be computed on tbe same basis, as
follows :
For 1865, ............ 64.000 passengers.
For ItMO, ?&uuu
For 1867, 90,000
for lolls 10H,U0U
Total 8:24,000
It will be seen that in 1868 there must be
an average of abeut three hundred passen
gers a day by tbe river. All of these people
will of necessity have to pass through this
place, and in the nature of things must add
largely to its traffic.
If we now turn and consider the imperfect
development of our mines, ' which are
barely prospected in a few places, and the
reflect upon the vast expanse of country stL
to be explored, prospected, settled and m
available to the u.es of civilized life, oar
calculation must be allowed to be not only
reasonable, but far below tbe true figures
The suggestions derivable from a sbowin
oi this nature are obvious, and should en
courage all who are Interested in the growth
of the country to bold fast to present oppor
tuntties in the various pursuits of life
Men, whose means are now limited, have
only to live in the country, and grow with
it, to arrive at a generous competency

Tub SocfnitRN Trade. There is three
times iis much steamer tonnage employed
etweijn tbe Northern and Southern ports,
on the Atlantic side, as there was before the
war. The drift of population and capital
is setting largely in that 'direction. If tbe
opportunities afforded to that section are
properly estimated and employed by tbe
people there, tbe signs of tbe ravages of
war will soon disappear, and instead of
eing tbe poorest part of the Union, it will
be tbe richest' and most powerful. In all
our calculations, tbe possibility of South
ern regeneration should form a prominent
feature.

Impeachment or tbe President. The San

the opinion that at tbe opening of Congress
articles of impeachment will be brought

of accusation appear to be that, in, with
drawing and disbanding the United States
troops, and allowing the institution of civil
government in the late rebellious States, he
has exceeded his powers. It is asserted that

Nothing but the lack ef power at the coming

carrying this purpose into effect. It is
however, very questionable if a majority of
the Senators could be induced to act Vith
the lower House in the matter. At t bra time
there are professions of attachment t tbe
