time we were there, pi caching bad been sus
pended and the church rented to. the United
States for a court-room ; and. tho only lime
we veiled it, Chief Justice llclirldo was try
ing a ihur iercr then in. ''
'Vfbe'nuiiru luterests of JIcssr llnrauson,
Jackson & lilbb, callj out the following t
; In and around the Boise Iiasiu arc many
gold beariug'quui'l leads, some thought to
lie rich' and extensive, but few, if any, yet
fully roved to be to. Several mills meat
work upon some of them, but none that we
saw are so far developed as to satisfactorily
Uc'hionstra'e their richness.' -Among the ap
parently promising' leads we visked were
three laying near together .in. the Summit
Flat d strict, ilinaitt some fifteen or eighteen'
miles from Idaho City. They me called the
.Man moth, King, ai d Specimen ledge-,' and
lire owned by Messrs. Juckpon, Humnson
nndI5iu. "They arc gold (nines only, nnd
not extensively developed yet reasonably
promising so fur as they have been wi.rked.
There ,hns boon nn eight stamj) wn'er mill
running uon the ore of ono of them for a
year,, nnd from the proceeds . .of it, they
had purchased and wcro erecting a ten
stamp mill, expecting to have it running by
the beginuiuii of 'Winter. They were without
capital, except ns they dug it from the mi; c,
and were therefore compelled to vOrli s'owly.
'I he couutry around the Flat is liberal y sup
plied with water and timber, which make
wording tho mines easier and cheaper.
I.MinoiUNT Voteus. In speaking of the Inst
year's iiumigraiion, the Stalcmnn thinks there
re no' over eight' hundred voteis comprised
in the arm us.- In-this particular o think
the Mat rMiijsin, 3 iu error, us is witnessed by
l lie number ol luituigmnts pkriug toll nt the
Harlow Oate wagon rood alone. While we
do not dislincily remember the figures, which
were published in the valley papers, our re
collection is that about live thousand five
Mildred persons passed the Cascades Range
by that route; not le.-s than two thousand
went down the Columbia River, and many
others went in by the way of the Upper Wil
lamette pass. In all, these. immigrants must
have deluded over two thousand voters, if
we allow that two thousand more (topped iu
Ea.lern Oregon. In relation to ihose who
have participated iu the rebellion, that is to
say six hundred, tbe Statesman is nbont light.
01 the balance, tho major part is comprised
ol elements who may be -easily attracted to
the support of Ihe Union cause, if they are
approached in that spiiil of kindness' which
should characterize the ditc:.ssion of the pub
lic questions now nt issue lliroughonl the
nattou. But in order to rench this Drofoundlv
HsiILVet 'd class of our population we should
relrain from dilating upon tho "unspeakable
calamity'1 of "allowing' locni to vote..' We
should keep in miud the fact that these men
uro uur iciiuw counirymen. aua now are
about lo take a part in the direction of the
affairs of this.Slate, and in the relation they
hold' to the community are potent both for
good and evil, it will depend hugely on the
discretion of ihe Union press whether these
people shall have- their ancient prejudices re-
newed and re-h forced, or whether with tfieir
change of location, they shll imbibe ' those
libcrnl ideas in keoping with the progressive
spirit ol the itipe.'..

seem to agree among llvcmselves.. Tho 'Union
suites 1 1111 one 01 ineir HVerends iu Sucra
nu-trto, ihe-ether diy.'chairenged' one'of the
piophit-s lo a discussion, ki the following
words: t ..-- - i ' '
Whereas, The Mprrisiles, under their nrctend
ed prophet, Cainilnj-have claimed t4ie high aud
and exclusive prerogative of presiding over
tho Kingdom ol lion ou Ihe earth. Na, be
it ktioVii the said Cainan, or any man who
believes in his. cvelnHons, thatl herebvchal
lunge any of you to meet me in publtj discus'
sion, iu any part of tho Slate ol California- or
tho western portion., of iiavada, and nt any
time witliin Ihe next three months. And I
pledge myself .then, ahd theMTto proVe your
revea-ious are from Salnn nnd will lead lo
perdiiion all who follow them, the Holy Set iii
lures being received ns proof, Now Cuiiiiui
(or any man that believes in you) pleiue accept
this challenge, or by your non. acceptance let
all the world know that you dure not."
