"New Military Post. Yesterday
we noticod the arrival of Major Mar
shall: liih U. S. In.faD.trv. at Fort
lioiso, Slating that ho had assumed
tho condmand of the subsDistrict of
Boiso We lonrn to day From a relia
ble source that the Major will not re
main at $Oisd long, but that as Boon
as the necessary arrangements can bo
completed he will move into tho Harney
Lake country, and establish a largo
and permanent military post there.
.The orders in the case are already
, promulgated, and the Major is only
awaiting tho arrival of supplies and
troops.
It is proposed to Bond about 200
cavalry and an equal number of in
Ian try undor his command into that
country which is beliovcd to bo the
Lome of the thieving Snakes. This
is a very commendable move, and wo
doubt not will in reality benefit the
whole country.
Persons who.ought toknownroconi
fident that in this yet unprospected
region there aro gold and other valua
ble metals, and that only a respectable
amount of protection is need to de.
velop them. If those surmises be cor
rect) on account of their locality, they
will materially contribute to the wel
fare of the Dalles.

Walla Walla Statesman attempts to
east discredit upon the statements of
our citizens to the effect that the route
hence to White Bluffs overland, is the
bost ovorlund route to Blackfoot and
Big Bend mineo. Of course tho States
man is perfectly disinterested in its
assertions. We can only say in reply,
that we sincerely believe the gontle
men who composed the committee ap
pointed to inquire into and report upon
the merits of that routo totally inca
pable' or attempting to deceive the
public. We do know that at the mooting-which
appointed them, we were
thoroughly impressed with the idea
that the disposition of that meeting
was not to attempt to advance our
local interests at the cost of a single
indi vidual'sinconvonience. The States
man's article does not admit of any
other reply : we are not disposod to

Tub rush to Montana and Idaho
from the other side promises to bo

Pacific Railroad This importont
measure is getting its proper share of
publio attention these days; the east
era papers aro full of it; Congress
keeps talking about it; and material
is being purchased and shipped for it,
and it is now only a question of time,
and tli u t time as short us labor and
capital can mako it. The Central
road is now probably in tho moBt ad
vanced stuge of completion, and' tas
most encouragement froiu Govern
ment and capitalists ; but that ut least
two roads across the continent will be
built, jve have no doubt, and that ut
no very distant day. The St. Paul
correspondent of the Oregonian, writ
ing undor duto of February 26th, says:
The proposed ut:ioti of the Atlantic and
Pacific by railroad over the-nnrlhern route,
is attracting a great degree of attention in
various parts of America, and in England.
The Loudon Itailu-u; Record, in the interest of
English capitalist, who it will be remember
ed are laigelr in favor of the north-western
railroad to the Pacific, has an nnicle well
worthy of attention, from which I learn that
of the routes by which. Central British Amer
ica has hitherto been approached through
Hudson's Buy, by Lake Superior, and over
tho plains from St. Paul, the preference given
to the latter is now admitted, and the events
of the few past years show that there U no
barrier so furruidnble but what it can be sur
mounted, arid a railway completed within
reasonable timi. The Hecord't article closes
with the following paragraph :
In 1862, the railway system of the United
States terminated at La Crosse, in the State
nf Wisconsin. Thence, steam navigation to
St. Puul, laud transportation 250 miles to
Georgetown, on the lied Rivtr, and steam
navigation to I'ort (furry, were the improved
modes of transit. Beyond the Selkirk settle
ments the oared btteau and the wooden car
of the lur-trader are the rude resources of the
inhabitants. But, with gold discoveries a
new state of things is at hand. Suamcrs
once placed on Lake Winnepeg and the Sas
katchewan, an emigrant can make the jour
ney from Toronto, in Canada, to the mines of
British Columbia it thirty days, and nt less
expense than is now required for the journey
ou land from the ruouib, of the Fraser's river
to the Cariboo' couulry. If we are not mis
taken., this great work will be a lead ng en
terprise of the coming year.
California and Owyuee. Tho
Californians have not yet learned
enough to cause them to desist from
tbeir efforts to transport froight overs
and lrom bacramento river to the
Idaho mines. The Chicorouto seems
to be given up for the present, as the
experience ol last yoar demonstrated
that it would not pay. But the en
terprising Californians nothing daunt
odare trying another route thatjy
Truckeo Puss and the Mud Lakes.
The Sucrumento Union of a lato date
has tho following in reference to this
new scheme. We presumo it will
tuke tho whole of the present year to
prdvo to thoso who have undertaken
the work that it cannot by any possi
bility compote with the quicker and
easier route by the Columbia river.
The Union says :
" For the purpose of securing to
CI - tJ t- . 1- - . L
oacramemo me luano iraue, a suo
scriplion has been started in the city
to raise $5,000, to be given as a bonus
to the first freight train which will
carry one hundrod tons ol merchan
dise by the Truckeo routo to the Owy
bee mines. It is proposed to get up
aii'oxpedition of ten or fifteen teams
to go through together, and the
money raised by subscription will be
applied to the extra expenses inci
dent to the pioneer trip." Oregonian.
The steamers Montana and Pacific
were expected at Portland yesterday.
The telegraph announces a rush by
