Sewing Machines for Sale. It
will bo Boon by reference to our advert
tilting columns tbat among other things
to bo sold at auction to-day by Mr.
Williams are throe sewing machines
of different makers.
We are indebted to B. J. Fengra,
Esq., of Eugene City, foe a copy of
the .Report of the Recent Surveys and
Progress of Construction of the Oregon
Central Military road. A hasty look,
ing over is all we have yet boen able
to give it, but we are convinced it is
full of valuable and interesting infor
mation.
The City Election. We publish
in another column, this morning, an
advertisement calling a Democratic
mass meeting, to nominate candidates
for city offices. We had hoped that
party politics would be thrown aside
in selecting men to fill the few offices
that our City Charter creates; but
eome men cannot for a moment, nor
upon the most trivial affair, depart
from the " time honored principles" of
Democracy. There are a great many
voters of the city who with us had
hoped that this state of politics would
not be brought into the municipal
eloction. We need good and true men
to fill tho offices, and we are of the
opinion that the best way to arrive at
tbat result is to call a cilizon'u roeeU
ing and nominate men who would be
acceptable to our people, and who
would discharge their duties faithfully.
We owe it to ourselves to see that
good men be chosen, and that the city
government be conducted in such a
manner as to insure both benefit to
the city and citizens. We shall oppose
all parly nominations in tho coming
election, no matter by what party
made, and will endeavor to see the
besc men, no matter of what politics
tbey are, elected to fill our city offices.
A Bit of RuMAncs. Under this
hoad the Oregonian publishes, from a
Missouri paper, the particulars of the
recovery of a white child by a Col.
King, who,-on his arrival from the
plains, advertised and described the
child.- TiiO boy was at once claimed
as being tho child of a Mr. Sylvester,
who came to Oregon overland, in 1861,
and who had a child stolen from him
by the Indians, while camped on the
Humboldt river. Tho claimant was
Mr. Sylvester's brother, who resides
e.t' Quincy, Illinois, and to whom the
child has been given up. Thus much
for the item from the Missouri paper
Mr. Miller, of the firm of Bunnell
Miller, of this city, yesterday received
for Mr. Sylvester, who now resides at
Albany, u letter containing a photo
graph of the boy, which was instantly
reoognized by his near relatives in
this city, and places tbe question of
identity beyond all doubt; though the
child is also claimed by a Mr. 0 Cons
roll, of New York city, who also lost
a child of about tho same sge, and
about the same time. The photograph
and letter have been sent to Mr. Syl
vaster, at Albany, and ho will doubt-
less go East immediately and recover
his child, as the parties who reclaimed
the boy from his captivity desire him
to' do so before they Bet aside tbe claim
of Mr. O'Connell. This is truly a very
".j&antic and happy termination.
Epitome or Telegraphic News.
New York, March 19. jlanjr dry goods
have been sold of late for currency at leas
tban cost in gold. Several failures are re
ported in tbe provision trade at Buffalo, and
some excitement was occasioned here to-day
by the disappearance of a Broad street pro
duce dealer with $10", 000.
Nev York, March 21. Tbe steamer New
York sailed to-day for Aspiuirall. Among
the passengers was Thomas W. Knox, lb
well.known correspondent lately connected
with the associated press agency, who will
accompany the telegraph expedition through
Siberia and Russia. "
Washington, March 21. Dr. Ballatd, of
Oregon, has been appointed Governor of
Idaho, and it will doubtless be sanctioned
by the Senate.
In tbe Honse, Price, of Iowa, on the com
mittee on the Pacific Railroad, reported a
bill to secure the speedy construction of the
Northern Pacifio Railroad. Julian intro
duced a bill to equalize soldiers and sailors'
bounty. Referred to committeo on military
affairs. Henderson, of Oregon, presented a
joint resolution of the Legislature of Oregon
in regard to Oregon war claims. Ward, of
New Jersey, said the friend of deceased sol
diers buried at Arlington Cemetery were ap
prehensive that it should reach the heirs of
Gen. Lee, therefore he desired to read a let
ter from the Secretary of War, which states
tbat tbe Arlington property was bid in for
the Government at $260,000, at a sale for
unpaid taxes January 11th, 1866. Tbe cer
tificate of sale would soon be placed on file
in tbe treasury Department.
Chicago, March 22. An order detailing
Gen. Sheridan as a member of the special
army board to meet bim in New Orleans just
as he was preparing to go on important srr
vice to Rio Grande frontier. Tbe troops
there are said to be in a disordered state,
and fears are entertained In consequence tbat
new complications might arise between our
Government and the French in Mexico. He
deemed it necessary, therefore, to go there
to regulate atttiirs in that Department, so as
to maintain order. The Secretary of War,
therefore, did not repeat tho order for Gen.
Sheridan's presence in St. Louis. The board
will doubtless proceed without him.
Ges. Meagher's Speech. Gen. Mencrber,
Acting Governor of Montana, made a speech
at Helena, on February 7th, which we find
published in the Montana Pott, in which he
'dennes bis position. Ho commenced by
statiirg tbat" when he came to tbo Territory
no leu into tne nanus ot some political ras
cals who advised him Against convening tho
Legislature: but upon consultation with
some lawyers he was convinced that ho was
in error, and bis Irish heart could not
stomach the influence, and, since tbat time,
he had been opposed by tbe political rascals
into who;e bands be tell, when ho first enme
ere. That he gloried in being a Democrat, and
in occupying the high position in which his
political opponent had placed him and that
now, when be was satisfied be had tbe power
to do so, was the time to caU tbe Legislature
and tbe Convention, and not to wait until
more Republicans came to the Territory be
fore doing so, as he had been advised to by
political rascals. Tbat complaints had been
made of bis appointments of men to office,
and be had been told tbat be bad appointed
rebels and bushwhackers, and that he gloried
in having done so. That it was time to heal
alt difficulties, and the way to do so. That,
be bad bis Instructions from the Lieutenant
General. That these epithets were not known
at the scene of conflict ; but originated thou
sands ot miles away, among those who were
safe in the mountains. That he had fought
bravely for four years, and many times, after
a battle, ne had seen tbe brave, noble and
heroic Southern soldier lying on bis back
wttn bis frozen band in bis knapsack grasp
ing the last morsel of parched corn; thtt
tbey were true soldiers and heroes, and the
noblest of men. That when the great and
noble Lee and Johns'on honorably sheathed
tbuir swords, the nets of no one should, be
remembered against him ; but that all should
act and feel ns brothers, and that discrimin
ation should not b. exercised against ibem
That some political rascal bad been report
ing stories abont him, and he would like to
grasp him by the throat and choke it out o
bim.
Salmon Fiuhing. We notice as the
season for taking salmon arrives that
there is considerable preparation made
for fishing this season. From 2,000
to 4,000 barrels will probably be taken
in this vicinity the ensuing spring and
summer. At the usual value ot sal
mon in this market, that will be from
820,000 to 840,000 worth, and three
fourths of the whole amount, at least
will be clear gain, or the net result of
the labor expended in the business.
Tbe fisheries are extensive and th
flsb abundant . enough to yield an an
nual product $250,000 per annum, just
as well as $za,uiu ah it wants is en
torprising fishermen and a good mar
ket for the product. No gold mine is
any better or 6arer, or more lasting.
