Rapids, and particularly in the section north
and west of the Columbia, he will find the
most convenient and easily improved loca
tions, and tlie finest climate. If he wishes
to contrast the degree of comfort respective
ly enjoyed by tho miner and farmer, be will
do well to vUit Walla Walla and observe the
effects of five years of moderate exert on.
In that place he will also have an- opportu
nity to contrast the relative financial pros
pects of the farmer and miner, and this will
convince him of the advantages of tbo me
thod of life we recoiumend. After a practi
cal lesson of this kind, most men'will be. anx
ious to secure similar chances in life, and
they nceti not hunt far to find them.

It will readily be perceived that, if a tithe
of the vast amount of gold and silver which
has been taken put of the mines of the Co
lumbia Baslnj In the last five years, bad been
invested in live-stock, and turned upon the
grasses growing on the hills and valleys ad
jacent to them; this country would now be
in prosperous circumstances. Money would
be plenty, and the growth of manufacturing
establishments would have fair y commenced.
Many persona having made thousands of dollars
in the mines, and lost or spent them In foolish
speculations and still more foolish dissipa
tions, could have placed themselves on tbe
high road to fortune by investing tbe mouey
which fortune threw in their way, in sheep,
cattle ard horses.

las' given to biro, be may at a trifling expense the Secretary of the Navy, was authorized by
; put out orchards and vineyards, produce nine-
tenths of tbe provisions necessary for htm-
, iind family, and wilb even a limited start in
live-stock, a few rears sees him a man . of
wealth and leisure. Experience promises no
tu'ch good fortune to the man who gives way
to that unreasonable lust of goldwbich is at
ones destructive of mind aud body..
In the range of every bibu'i acquaintance
in tbii"country, are many miners who have
accumulated much money in the mines, who
would now have been rich men by simply in
vesting in tl.is line of business By so doing
they would have takn hold of a certain!;,
and instead of following an exhausting and
laborious employment, would be engaged in
an occupation requiring only moderate exer.
Vion, and which is above all others, conducive
to health and loi ir life. This matter recum
Mr. liuc'-anan, or ever existed. I aspen posi
tively, that there sever was a day, during the
period referred to, when the President was
not perlectly Iree to perform bis duly, anil his
whole duy, in defense, of the forls and other
property of tbe United Stales, and to open fire
from', the forts whenever, in his judgment,
their safely demanded it. There uever was
an hour when the guns of Sumter were "uiuz
aled " by any "agreement " or compact on the
part of tbe President or his Secretaries, or by
iheir authority, or either of them. Tb.it the
batteries around Sumter were not n red upon
while in course of construction was because
the President shrunk from ibe dread renpon-
sibilitv of inaugurating civil war, and deetne.l
forbearance bis duty ; not because he was re
strained by any agreement or understanding
whatever' Looking nt the glorious results ol
the war, and remembering ho wondrously
Providence has dealt with us in lis progress,
and how sublimely the firing upon, instead ol
Iroru Fort Stumer, served to amuse, instruct
and unite Ibe nation, and to infinite its mar-
mends iteelf particularly to the attention ol ijH Hnd patriotic spirit, we slnud awe pi r tick
