SUXMY HOMING, MARCH 25, 18CC. The steamers on the Willamette are doing a heavy business this spring, larger than ever before. The Sierra Nevada, over due at Portland, bad not arrived when the steamer loft yesterday. Passengers to tbo Union State Convention, at Corvallis, will be car ried at reduced rates, by the People's Transportation Company. Committed-. A negro charged with enlioing little girls into bis shanty, and there indecently handling them, was yesterday committed by the City Recorder to tbo County jail to await his trial at the next term of the Cir cuit Court. Some of the friends of Gen. Meagher think the lately published speech, at tributed to him, is a base fabrication. Tbey claim that it is entirely unlike him, both in sentiment and style. We hope this may bo true, but the evi donee of its genuineness is rather for1 midablo. Democratic .Nominees. The Dem ocratic mass meeting last night made tho following nominations : V Pop Mayor, J.

Te j 1 Vancouver Registerol tho 24thv inst. we learn that the O. S. N. Co. have applied to tho U. S. District Court now in session thcro for an injunction restraining the sheriff of Clurk Co., W. T., from collecting the taxes asi nessed against their property at the Cascades, The Cascade Railroad Co. have sued out a like instrument against the Middle Cascade Portage Co. restraining them in the comple tion of their railroad, alleging that it interfered with the rights of the former company. A Game oe " Freeze-Out." A City erdinanco provides that parties com mitted for municipal offenses may be put fo work by the City Marshal, un til their fines aro liquidated, at. the rate of 82 per day; and if offenders . refuse to work, may be ironod or other' wise conGned. Two soldiers, who were recently mulcted in sums ade quale to tueir- onenses, Having no greenbacks, were ordorei out to work by Mr. Keeler, and sturdily refused, whereupon Mr. K. put thorn upon bread and water only, in which con dition they have now been three days. Plucky, ain't they ?. . : : ... V XUE train down irom Celilo on .Friday night last, ran into a band of loose mules, about throe miles above town, killing one and wounding three others. At the time ot the accident the train was under fuff headway, bav fng on five cars and running on a down grade tbe males were not seen until the train was nearly upon them, and then only by the locomotive's lantern " shining their eyes." All tho brakes were immediately put on, but were not sufficient to atop the impetus of the train in. time to prevent the.acci From the Idaho Statesman of March 13th, we cull the following items : The process of thinning out the fam ily of JLo, hereabouts, has commenced in good earnest. Report was current on the streets Sunday afternoon that there were fifteen "good Indians" rendered permanently peaceable, up tbo river, near the mouth of Moore's croek. From all we could learn, we think it is true. One man said be saw six bucks lying still in one stack and further deponent sayeth not Alturas County News. Tbe Ern piro State is a new discovery in the Yuba district, which gives promise of being one of the big things ot that country. Some men built a cabin nnd in digging for clay to build the china ney, struck the lodge. They have it four feet wide without roachtng the opposite casing, and the rock is sprin kled with visible gold. Dr. Harris cleaned tip $5,000, the product of twelve days' run. Rasey Biven has reaohed tbe depth of two hundred and twenty. five feet with bis tunnel. Snow at Rocky Bar is about five feet deep, and molting. They have hud a littlo jumping and shot gun possession up there, after the style of tbe Poorman, last fall. Orig inal claimants of tbe allowed the time to " represent" it, to nearly run out, when other parties jumped a por tion of tbo ground. Original' holders commenced work, relying upon shot guns for defense. Next day jumpers advanced with superior force and more numerous shot-guns, nd drove away the first party ; and so matters stand at present. Messrs. Jacobs and Clemens came down from tbe Bar, arriving yester day, wert obliged to come over half way on loot, lhey believe it will be a month yet before animals can go in. Most articles ot provisions are in suffi cient supply to last that length of time, 'limes are dull and many are talking of going to Blackfoot. Wants Protection. jDdee IJiebv. of Rub-r City, writing from tbe East says : " I saw Mai. Bidwell when in Washington, and he says there Bbn.ll be a line of ttnges running Irom Chico to Ruby City this summer if he lives." Tbe Mnjor is thoroughly interested n the matter, and has been for over a rear, and there is every reason to bope that a mail contract will be let for the rouie at ru early day. mil ot want use are stage lives and contracts if the Indians be not Quieted? That regiment of troops whiling away the time at San Francisco are Heeded up this way. The devilish red skins are thoroughly hostile through tho whole country be twecn here and tbe Sacramento river, and wo ao assure everybody Interested that very little can bo accomplished in the war ot staging until lhey are thoroughly cleaned out. Bettor take a square practical view of tbe- case and go to worK at it in earnest. Idaho Statesman, 13th mst. Last fall wben the Oregon Caralrr and Washington Territory Infantry, stationed at Camp Alvord, Camp Lyon and other places- soma ot us were ordered away, we predicted just tbe Btate ot things that now exists hero that in tbo absence of troops tbe Indians would make tbe country, not only uninhab itable,.but impassible this-spring,, and they nave done it most euectually. Tbe muster ing out of those troops was nothing wrong in itself, but it was very bad policy to do it at tho time it was done. It was, all things considered, about the most stupid blunder ever commuted in tbis military district. We uggest again- that If Ueneral Halleck has a. surplus of men At Camp Union or Rincou Point, tboy can do the country good' service np this way. And the sooner they come tbe better. Idaho atataman, lorn mtt. Exactly I and the same is true, only more so, of our road to Canyon City, over which we expect soon to have a Mail Line. A petboe,ewm companyof New York have granted permission to a steam engine company to apply Steven's apparatus for burning crude petroleum lor me generation ot stoam. it is claimed that tbis method causes per fect combustion, and leaves no- resid uum, aud that tbe boiler of an engine rated at 19-horse power will not re quire over five quarts-of crude petro leura per day. The Lincoln House in Portland hag changed hands.- Messrs. T.J. and' CM, Carter are the purchasers. Opportunities for the Investment op Capital. It should not bo sops posed that mines and mining offer the only opportunities for making fortunes in this Territory. There are many other ways of investing money which should be noticed. There are now ex collent opportunities for starting fount dries and machine shops at Virginia, Helena, Blnckfoot and Bannack; and any such establishments would huve all they wanted to do, and very high prices for their labor. A plumber would Endconstont work, and material is now plentifully produced in. the Territory; Agriculture and stock rnis' ing offer huge profits. Droves oj cattle, cows especially, will yield a largo re turn, to a Western fiirmer, where beef sells readily at twenty cents per pound, and pasture ot tbo nnest kind can be had for nothing. As for the raising of grain ond vegetables, it need only be said that wheat will surely fetch $10 per'bushel ; that the soil is very rich, nd irrigation a matter ot very little labor. Potatoes, cabbago ond turnips by the pound, about as much as they do by the bushel in Illinois and the rural parts of tho Western States; nnd the profits on a cargo of good seed wheat, oats, barley or peas, from Iowa, Canada or Minnesota, would bo a for tune. The manufacture of agricul tural implemen's would also pay ama zingly well, nnd for such implements there would be a constant demand. A few men understanding chemicul tan. ning, and coming provided with tho necessary toots and drugs, would make money as fast as they wanted. Those are only a few of tbe ways of amassing wealth, but there are millions ot dollars n them beyond a peradventnre. Tho only thing to bo noticed is that the first comers will make the most money.
