'A
iaito Hlonntemccr,
Steam on ths) Dppib Snake River. A. cor
Tespomlent of the Idaho Slatetman, writing
from Owybee Landing, May 21st, gives an in
' tereeting description of an exploring trip
made by the steamer Shothont from that place
up the Snake river. The letter is loo long
for publication in onr columns. We take the
following from the correspondence :
Just above the Bruno the river emerges
from another canyon, not so deep as the first,
but full of rapids, whiob the boat surmonnted
without difficulty. At adisianoe of about sis
'miles we came to swift, rough water which,
with eighty pounds of steam, brought the
boat to a halt. The captain .backed out of
tbe situation and tied up and proceeded to
make explorations by land. We found two
miles of rapid, swift and rongh water, with a
considerable fall at the bead. With some
doubt in bis ability to go over it, explain My
rick ordered a full head of steam aud started
again with one hundred and ten pounds. The
Whole length of the rapid was made with
ase till the prow of the boat touched the
break in the very head of the fall, when she
refused to go any farther. Steam was raised
to the highes) point allowed to ber boiler and
tbe boat held to ber work fr over half an
hour, but 4o no purpose. The fall whs too
much, and with a few turns back of the wheel
we went darting down that two miles of rapids
with nnusual steamboat velocity.. With a
good line tbe boat might have been taken
over tbe rapid, but there was no safe-one on
board, and the Captain therefore declined to
try it. That point is probably ahout sixty
miles by the. course of tbe river, from this
' landing ; bow far above tbe boat might go,
there was, of course, no means to ascertain.
High bluffs and a smooth river were all that
could be seen abead. The river is inaccessi
ble on both sides, so that nothing can bo
gained by running' np to tbat point, unless a
higher one can be reached. Of that there is,
however, but little doubt, as with the aid of a
line boats can go over tbat rapid as.easily as
they do over some in the Willamette and Co
lumbia. .
We made the run back to the landing in
.bout four hours, arriving here at sundown
to-day, and thusendetb the further navigation
ot Snake river above tbis point for tbe pres.
ent. Tbat another and successful trial will
be made before lorig, I have no doubt, as the
falls that terminated tbis trip can easily be
overcome, and there may be no more serious
one for many miles above. '
By Owvum Stags. News came from Ruby
Ji t ni(bt of anothes Indian raid, made prin
cipally upon Cbinamen. A messenger came
tor Major Marshall from C.imp Lyon with the
statement that a Cbinamanliad come into tbat
camp reporting tbat be was the only one of a
party of huy wbo was known to have escaped
an attack upon their camp, about four miles
beyond the California ferry, on the Owyhee
river. There were also two white men with
tbe Chinamen, and all are supposed to be
killed- Lieut. Pepoon started immediately
for tbe spot, and found twentr-twVdead bodies
there, corroborating in the main, the story of
(be Chinaman. Lieut, fepooo sentamessen
ger back to Col. Coppinger, wbo has followed
in hopes to overtake tbe Indians. Tbe mat'
acre is supposed to have occurred last Moo.'

Senatorial. The present Congress, ending
on, the 4th of March next, terminates tbe Sen
atorial career of the following gentlemen,
unless they shall be re-elected meantime :
Clark, of New Hampshire ; Foster, of Con
necticutt ; Harris, of New York ; Poland, of
Vermont; Cowan, of Pennsylvania; Trumbull,
of Illinois ; Brown, of Missouri ; Davis, of
Kentucky f Nesmitn, of Oregon ; Pomeroy, of
Kansas ; Lane, of Indiana ; Howe, of Wiscon
sin.; Crowell, of Maryland ; and McDougall,
of California. The only elections that have
yet taken, place foe the term commencing in
1867 and ending in 1873, are, Mr. Sherman, of
Ohio, and. Mc. Cole, of California.
Greenback Gibe Decided. Judge Rix, of
tbe Sau , Francisco Police Court, lately de
cided. a. street car greenback case, and held
tbat the car conductors and .companies are
compelled to receive greenbacks in payment'
for tickets. The decision gives universal sat
isfaction to the publio, but is nut relished by
tbe street railroad companies, ho have given
t otice of their intention to appeal to tbe higher
courts. In log-rolling a bill through , tbe
Legislature, authorizing them , to raise' the
fares, the companies accomplished their ob
ject, but it is not likely to benefit them..
Not Arrived Judge McBride, Col. Pres
ton, and other ldabeans, who were expected
to arrive yeaterday,on the Overland stage, did
not come. Tbey are supposed te.be detained
fait of Salt Lake by high water, at Hast such
is-tbe report of tbe passengers that bare come
