Wendell Phillips recently wrote a letter to
L. II. Baker, of Manchester, England, in which
lie says : " I fear that President Johnson will
deliver us, bound hand and foot, into the
bands of the old tyrant white race of the
south." lie must be a timid individual if
be fears such a catastrophe at the bands of tbe
most thoroughly beaten people of the age.
The Sunday Law. There is a rich streak
of humor in tbo Sunday Law, if it is viewed
from a certain stand-point. The proverbial
indolence of certain elements in tbe popula
tion of Oregon, gives a strikingly facetious
turn to the section forbidding secular labor;
wbon we consider that this part of the peo
ple are not likely to break the law on Sun
day or any other day of the week by secular
labor. A Tuesday Law would interfere
neither more nor less than the Sunday Law
with this class of people.

The Boise Markets. Tbe World says

Sinch Wendell Phillips has proved "The

The very important gold discoveries of the
past year are so many in number, so exten
sive and so rich, that it puzzles the pros
pector to choose in' what direction he Bhould
take bis chances. Connected with these dis
coveries there are so many routes of travel,
steamboat enterprises and road improve
ments, that it seems impossible Sot a man to
exactly make up his mind as to where he will
make bis fortune next year. The two most
extensive fields of operations are tbe mines
of Montana and those of the Columbia. Of
the respective merits of these two countries
the publie know, as much as the newspapers
have published, which, although enough as
to quantity is rather deficient in quality, in
this far, that while every word may be true,
there are many others equally true which JJ Q J, J J) Y GIFTS'

very important to a proper understanding of
affairs, and most old miners can very easily
see that there may be a wide difference in
hearing a part and then bearing tbe whole
truth in relation to any gold field
If an adventurer, who intends to go to one
or tbe other of these sections the coming
year, will carefully examine their respective
merits, be will find himself in the position of
Yellow-plush, when seated between the two
beautiful ladies, " feclink fur all the world
like a donkey between two bundles of 'ay."
After balancing all arguments which can be
offered in favor of either, he will arrive at
the conclusion that gold is plenty in both
places, and very coarse. When that is said,

men, and according to tbe tastes, necessities
and degree of information given will depend

season
All this rests to some extent In tho bands
of tbe people of this country ; who may by
timely representations givo the' next year's
immigration a direction which will tend to
build up tbe local interests already estab
liBhed. To do this, it is required that all
should take an interest in bringing to light
the information obtained by actual explora
tions of tbe interior. Tbe practical Bug
estions of men who have traveled over and
prospected through a country are worth in
finitely more than tbe speculative theories of
men whose observations are boonded by tbe
towns fn which they live. In this country,
information is too often derived from rr.en
who have no practical knowladge of mining,
and whose jndgmont in regard to interior
communication is of bnt little value. Another
