Ws learn from a reliable source that Com
pany H, 1st Cavalry, will be ordered to Camp
Watson, on tbe return of Gen. Steele to
Fort Vancorer. Tbe General is now on a
tour of Inspection to Puget Sound.
Gens. HaWKCK and Steele, it is understood
are to meot at Camp Lyon, I. T., on the 10th" I
of June, and from there, they will travel
through tbia department, making a critical
inspection of all the military posts in it.
About a week since the Indians visited
the ranch of Mr. Cozard, on the Canyon City
road, and stole five beautiful American mares
and colts, valued at about $2,000. A party
went In pursuit, but were unable to recover
the stolen stock . ...

Tn stampede from Canyon City to Olive
Crock mines still continues. A gentleman
writing us from Canyon City says that "Olive
Creek is now the liveliest camp this side q
Blackfoot Miocrs are pouring In from all

June." '
Pebsosi. Quite a number of gentlemen
Arrived from below last evening, to attend

N. Cooke, State Treasurer, Mr. A. L. Sun-
Boa and Mr. Denliugor, '
Elb and Moobi's Criers are booming with
the muddy tide. Viewed from East Hill on a
"sunn day tbe two streams glitter in tbe dis
tance like two-silver lines, and slide .away
southward in a united volume,. wbicb, if con-
: stant. would entitle the creek to tbe more
"honorable designation of a river. .

Military Road. Tbe Washington corres
pondent of the , Ortgoniah says : In closing
my Inter let me state tbat the Committee on
Military Affairs nave agreed' to report favor
ably upon, tbe bill introduced by Mr. Header.
son to build a military wagon road from tbe.
Dalles by way of Camp Watson, Canyon. City
and Humboldt Basin to Fort Boise.-'
Taxation. Tbe Idaho Stateiman, in its
issue of May 8th, bas an article on Internal
Revenue which we heartily endorse. It says
tbat instead of. a. reduction of' tbe present
tax, the bill now before Congress will in
crease the revenue some sixty millions.
Ttat is of course all wrong ; and it is to be
boped will be materially modified. Tbe
country is already paying too much Internal
Revenue. There is no need of the present
generation paying off the National debt in
too or fifteen years. It is enough that it has
borne tbe sbock of the battle, and besides
tbe interest pays aunually a fair part of tbe
principal. President Johnson-is heavy on
tbe exercise of the veto power it is even
threatened by his organs tbat be will veto
some more. We most heartily hope that be
will veto any measure tending to increase
tbe present rate of taxation, and announce
ourselves in favor of the veto in, advance.
There is another feature of the bill tbat
ought to be held up to ridicule, and that is
tbe reduction of tax on incomes over ten
thousand dollars. That is the most unjust
feature of tbe bill. In fact it is bo outrage
ous that it appears there must be an error
in tbe report. For instance, incomes under
five thousand dollarB, pay five per cent.; and
five thousand and over, ten per cent.' Now
it will not be denied tbat as a general thing,
the man whose incomers largest can pay bis
taxes easiest, even though be Uasvto pay a
bigber rate than the man of small income.
But if this report be correct, there is a dis
crimination ia favor of those incomes over
ten thousand dollars, leaving those between
five thousand and ten thousand dollars to
pay tbe highest taxes of any. Certainly no
such proposition can be entertained in
Congress.
Lane and tub Mint. When Lafayette
Lane, Democratic candidate for Secretary of
State, was bere soliciting the support of our
people, he bad tbe impudence to attempt to
convey tbe idea tbat be favored the location
of the Branch Mint at the Dalles. As Mr.
Lane resides east of tbe mountains, having
his home at Umatilla, one would naturally
suppose tbat be would be true to the interests
of Eastern Oregon ; but alas for the frailty of
his assertions, and what one would naturally
suppose : bis record proves tbe contrary.
On tbe 20th day of October, 1864, tbe memo
rial asking Congress to change tbe location
of tbe mint from the Dalles to Portland was
passed in tbe Oregon Legislature, our friend
Lane, being then a member from Umatilla
coumy, voting for it. Tbe voters of Eastern
Oregon will remember this against the dear
Utile fellow in June.

tnat on the Bin ofFebrury last, Michael King
about 17 years of age, was killed at Oak
land, Kentucky, by being struck on the bead
with a strike wbicb was drawn from tbe
ground by an unruly horse. Two days after
the fatal accident, and when tbe body was
about to be burled tbe ' relatives of King
thought they noticed evideut signs of lite
and the body was removed to tbe bouse
where be was kept several days. A report
got Into circulation at the time, to the effect
tbat tbe boy had come to life. After keeping
tne Douy several days it was removed to lb
lower graveyard and placed in a vault, where
II is now, and it bas been visited by bund
reds or our-citizens. The body retains its
natural appearance, is limber and warm, af
ter being dead In the graveyard one month
We have beard no reason assigned for this
