A good crossing has been luid at tho
corner of.iThird and Union slreots,

THE KOR.TI1ER91 MINES..
Tbo California preBS with scurco an
exception, pursues a dignified silence
in reference tothq rnjne&ir. Eastern
Oregon j or if any mention-is made, it
is accompanied with something about
gulling honest miners. Why this aU
to raj t to ignore a fact attested by a
Bteady stream of golden treasure th,at
is constantly flowing intd Sun Fran
cisco, is a thing wo foil to understand.
The California papers publish cojumn
after column abont Washoe, but never
a word in relation to the gold fields of
Oregon. 1 This total exclusion of all
that rotates to tho northern country,
is without excuse. Any enlightened
person can understand that mines dis1
covered on the Boise- just as directly
tend1 lo: the advantage of California
capitalists, as would a similar diecc-vi
ory on any stream emptying into the
Sacramento. The traders of the upper
country draw their supplies from Sun
Francisco with the same regularity
that tho people of Washoe obtain their
stocks from "that great commercial
mart. And we fail to see wherein it
matters to the , California capitalist
whether ho soils to Washoo or Oregon,
so long as ho gets his returns in due
season. ,
To us it appeals that tho press of
California would find it to their inler
est to act justly in regard to the dif
ferent mining sections, giving'reliablo
information, without regard lo the ef
fect) it may have upon the tide ot im
migration. This, it seems to us, would
not only bo good policy, but would bo
an act of justice la tho honest, miner,
who is on the search for a new field of
operations. Let tho press fuirty give
all-the facts in relation to tho differ
ent mining localities, and then the
miner will be able to arrive at a cor
rect conclusion; as it is now, ho is con
Bluntly being biased by partial and
one-sided reports. A course- ot this
kind may, and has temporarily retard
ed our prosperity, but alt llio papers
in' California cannot long keep the
great world in' ignorance as to the
richnoss of our mines, and wheji once
the light penetrates through the dark
ness that now enshrouds us, the reac
tion wM more than compensate for
the present depression. It was tho
fraying of tho great Corsican conqueror
in the noonday of his splendor, that
Franco., like the sun in tho hoaven, ro
quired, no recognition from foreign
powers,- So too, we may say of our
Northern mines, that surrounded wkh
u halo of golden gkry, they need not

The Fbeedmam's BunEAtf Bill.
We gvve ii another phtee what pur
ports lo bo a 'synopsis of tho bill re
cently vetoed by the President. Tie
bill hch bceivxmcnded in tho Senate
and sent. back to tho House, but what
tho nature of tho amendments were
wo do not know. The reading objoo
tions to tbo bill 'is that it establishes
military tribunals for fne trial of
causes in which freed men are a parly
and places thorn above and entirely
independent of, Iho civil courts. Such
tribunal havov boretofore been 'un
known in our Government, and can
dnly.be justified on tbe ground of im
pejriouej necesity. Tbo , reports of
parties who have visited the lately
rebollious States, with a view of as
certaining their condition, differ so
materially that it is not surorisine
there should be differences of opinion
