DALLAS, SATURDAY, AU0. 5. MOD IAW Tho Bulletin of Wednesday has the following article concerning the victims of the mob riots in the city of New York: HThet final count up shows that the killed and wounded in the New York riots on the 12ih ult. amount to 133. Their nativities are given by the Irish Democrat as follows : Australia. 1; Cu ba,. 1; Scotland, 1; Germany, 1; England: 7 J United States, 10 ; un known," 34 ; Ireland, 75. The question occurs : Was it worth the sacrifice of all these hvesof those not of the mob as well as of those who were to assure to two hundred men tho privilege to inarch in public procession 'i Ye think not." With an inherent vindictive feeliug against the Orangemen, it is not sur. prising that the editor of the Bulletin should take the view he does of the matter under consideration. The great question is not whether it be profitable at present to sacrifice over a hundred lives for the privilege of allowing a small number of persons to join in a peaceable procession. ? but is it right for a portion of our citizens to say that any class of person?, whether citizens or not, shall not have the privilege of celebrating a day hallowed to them by many sacred remembrances, without being iu danger of being disturbed by a mob, who may not thjnk as they do concerning the event they celebrate? Living in a land of liberty, let us not prohibit any class of persons from en joying any day which they may wish to celebrate, no matter how obscure or . ..-.., . . .. - ridiculous it may look to us. Any at tempt to cnjce this principle of religi ous intolerance is a remnant of despo tism which should never be tolerated in our country, as it is in direct antag onism to the great principles which underlie our form of Government. AN INFANT MEDIUM. The spiritualists of California arc toasting of an infant, now six weeks old, who will,' when three months old, be able to talk and deciurc the God ! .... . i given powrr? of ilie Ftiiritunlists, and testify of God and Christ. The infant is described as being very precocious, and apparently possessed uf extraordi. nary powers of perception. THE LOVE OF HOME " It la only shallow minded pretend ers," said Daniel Webster, ''who either make distinguished origiu a matter of personal .merit,' or obscure origin a matter of personal reproach. Taunt and scoffing at the humble condition of early life atfect nobody in America but those who are foolish enough to indulge in them, and they are generally suffici cntly punUhed by the published rebuke. A man who is not ashamed of himself need not be ashamed of his early condi tion. ',i It ; did not happen to me to be born in log cabin, but my elder bro thers ind sisters were born in a lor cabin, raised among the snowdrifts of New Hampshire, at a period so early that when the smoke first rose from its rude chimney and curled over the frozen hill, there was no similar evi dence of a white roan's habitation be tween it and the settlements on the rivers of Canada. Its remains still ex ist ; I make it an annual visit. 1 carry my children to it to teach them the hardships endured by the generations which have gone before them. I love to dwell op the tender recollections, the kindred ties, the early affections, and the -narrations and incidents which mingle with all I know of this primi tive family abode. I weep to think that none of those who inhabited it are now among the living; and if ever I fail in affectionate veneration for him who raised it, and defended it against savage violence' and destruction, cherished all domestic comfprts beneath ir,s roof, and througn the Are and blood of seven years' refplutionary war shrunk from no toil, no sacrifice, to serve his coun try and to raise, his children to a condi tion better tha,j) his own, may my name and the Dame pf my posterity be for ever blotted from the inempry of man kind." . 3 The 'Cultivation of Tarte. No natter in what form the cultivation of taste may, manifest itself in paintings or sculpture, in the analysis of scenery, in " the grouping of flowers, in the em helishment of !fie window or the man tel, in the cultivation of criticism, or the appreciation' of .the' true : and beautiful in art generally refinement of manner, kindliness of feeliug, and a deeper de motion oi religion will be its sure attendants. ' We furnish the Republican and DemoreiCi Monthly for a year. A COAST. TUHN It is pleasaut occasionally to tear oneself loose from the cares and tur tnoila of business, and, arrayed in suit able apparel, take j a turn over the mountaius to the sea. On Weducsday, July 2Gth a company from Dallas,, con sisting of Dr. J. C. Grubbs and wife, L. Laughery anl family, S. (.load and family, Miss Joanna Lysle, Miss Fan nie Lovelady, Misi Josie Lewis, Messrs. M. M. Oglesby, N. L. Butler, L. Vineyard, D. Holmes, and Alfred Lysle ; joined by J. J. Daly from Duena Arista, Miss Dillie Butler, from Monmouth, Mr. G. Comegys and Miss Lizzie Ellis, from Salt Creek, and Miss Dora Lumsop, ' of '. Yamhill'; last, and perhaps least of all, our humble self, -started for the sea beach at the mouth of Salmon Uiver the Long Branch of the Pacific Coast. All started out in flying colors and fully determined to enjoy the trip, and lend to the enjoy ment of each other. The first day put wc met with a heavy shower of rain, which threw a "damper" on the apparel of the party, causing the feathers to droop, but in no wise interfering with our enjoyment. Thursd-ty afternoou we camped at the toll gate, half-way be tween the Grand Hound and the sea. About 3 o'clock the rain began to fall, and for a time it seemed as if old ocean was determined to j meet us halfway." With a deuse forest of firs to protect us from the wind, plenty of tents and wagon r-heets spread to shelter us from the rain, and a good fire to warm the outward man, wc congregated around the camp fire for mutual condoleuce ? No enjoyment. The feast of reason aud the flow of soul" was such as t) amuse as a3 well as instruct. The gi;eat question of women's rights was imitated to a con siderable extent and disposed d sum marily by some unfortunate who had been out in the wet coming in 'with the very philosophical remark " this rain is wet." "It generally is here in the mountains," was the n-joiudcr of some would-be wit. Time came for retiring, and the ladies repaired to a large tent prepared for their accommodation, nnd we lords of creation began to CQtt ah ur us for a place to lay our head?. 'I funk ing we would have plenty of room, wc had only pitched two large tents, beside the family teuta one for the ladies, and one for the gentlemen of the party. After as many of us had located iu the remaining tent as could seem to be comfortable, our young friend from Huena, Yi.-ta came in and heiran seri ously to conclude that he would have to sleep out in the cold, as he could tin-l no place to stretch himself out " DoU biu yoiir:lI' up in that corner," mjs one. Lay your eaieass out there eiooe to ihe door of the tent, and the fiit thing that strikes you will be a diup of waUr4 bu$ don't mind that.'' sas another. FinaHy the legal brother found his level, and all went to the ocean in our dreams. Friday morning we took up the line of match for the sea. Our prosecuting attorney, while winding along over the mountains, was expatiating to the young ladies who were riding with him upon the beauties of a bathe in the surf, when, on the edge of a slight declivity he was com paring the waving of the underbrush in tho wind to the roiling of the sea. and showing the necessary maneuvres to counteract the force of the wave, when the wheel of hi vehicle struck a large root, and, as if he meant to. give them an oiular demonstration of the move ments he had been explaining; he went over the end of his seat and lauded in the wet, waving brush some twenty feet below. The young ladies peered through the brush to see if he could stem the tide, and become master of the situa tion, which he did to the satisfaction of the company, though fo his own dis comfitnre, as he came out pretty well drenched. Tho day after reaching the beach, four of the gentlemen of lb4 party went to the Silctz Bav on a fish- ins expedition. They chartered two canoes of the Indians, for which they paid fifty cents each. On their return to the, shore in the evening, the Indians were surprised at the large number of fish captured, and wanted to charge fifty cents extra for the privilege of taking so many of their fish. The party, however, failed to see the jus tice of their demand, and refused to pay it. A pow wow ensued, in tho heat of which our anglers left. The next day the Indians delegated one of their num ber to visit our camp and renew their demands, lie found us, and singling out one of the fishermen, approached him and demanded his extra half dol lar. While the two were parleying, our officious County Clerk made his appear ance, and holding up temptingly to the wicw of the siwash a half dollar piece, told hitn to come and gciit. The native stepped forward with pleasurp to take the coveted chickamin, when our high official coolly pocketed thp piece and turned away, much to the chagrin of poor Lo, who saw that lie had been made the victim of circumstances. He was vanquished, but not beaten. Stand ing around for some time without say in anvthinsr. and seeming in a deep study, he finally brightened up, and Annroachinsr his tormenter, offered to purchase a coffee pot which was stand ing near him. . The prospect of receiv ing monev tickled our official, and he i became very affable. He proposed to take a dollar for the vessel, and the si wash put his hand into his pocket, pulled out the money, and held it up temptingly to 'the view of tho vendor, but as the outstretched hand was ready to receive the expected tribute, the aborigine, with a smile that would have put Bret Hartc's Heathen Chinee to the blush, put tho money into his pocket again, and turned away with tho expressive exclam ation, "Cultus Boston man." Our high official saw ho was "sold," but concluded to make the best of a bad bargain, and in view of the fact that ho could not sell his coffee pot, and in the absence of anything stronger, concluded to solace himself with a cup of llio. Physically recuperated, and mentally benefitted (though in several instances we opine), with the " finer feelings soniewhat flustered, we returned on Wednesday evening, ouo week from the time wc started, the wiser aud the better for our trip to see the sea. We have not now time and space to devote to the points of iuterest to be visited, but will discourse upon them at some future time. A Semi-Koyal Carriage. The carriage formerly used by Governor Musgrave of British Columbia, was brought to l'ovt'and, by the George S. Wright. It was purchased at Victoria by Mrs. C. 1. Bacon, who is visitiug in that city. REGULATION'S FOR KXTRY OF ll JtMC LAM). General Land Office, May 5, 1$7L The following is an Act approved July 14th, 1S70, to extern the provi sions of the pre-emption laws to the Territory of Colorado, and for other purposes : " Be it enacted by the Senate and House of ltepresentatives of the United States of America iu Congress assem bled, That the privilegi-s of the Act of May 30th, 1802, entitled ; Au Act to reduce the expense of the survey and sale of the public land in, the United States." l and the ,-ame sue hereby extended to Colorado; and the proviso of tin; first section of the Act approved .Juue "J, IsG'J, entitled "An Act to e!ab!i-h a li.od Hi :e in the Territory uf Colorado, aud fjr ether purposes," is hereby repealed. 8ec. And be it further enacted, That nothing in th Act of Congress approved March J7. 1S"1, entitled " An Act for the relief of settlers on lands reserved for railroad purposes," ? It :t 1 1 be construed to relievo su-h set tlers from the obligation to file tho proper notices of their claims, iu other eases ; and all claimants of pre emptiuii rights .-hall hereafter, when no shorter period of time i now prescribed by law. make the proper proof and pay ment for the lands claimed, withiu eighueu months after the date pre scribed for filing their declaratory notices shall have expired : l'rovided, That where said date hhall have elapsed before the passage of this Act, said rc emptors shall have one year after the passage hereof iu which to make, proof and payment. This Act ha been amended as fol lows : Resolution of gen r.u.v i. nature -No. lib A Resolution for the relief of set tlers on the public lands: Resolved by the .Senate and Repre sentatives of the United States j of America in Congress assembled, That settlers on the public lands of the United States who have been required to make proof and payment for their lands under the Act to cxtcud tho pro visions of the pre-emption laws to the Territory of Colorado, and for other purpose., approved July 14, 1870, and r.y instructions irom the General Land :e, under date Julv 30. 1870. shall 1,ave twelvo mouths additional time them under which to make such proof and payment Approved March 3, 1871- y These statutes leave the provisions of the law as heretofore respecting " offer ed lands," viz., filing within thirty days, and payment within twelve months after settlement. The settler on surveyed " unofiercd land" must file his or her declaratory statement within three mouths from the date of his or her settlement on such land, and within thirty months from the expiration of said three months, make the proper proof, and pay for such land. Where settlers had already filed be fore the passage of tho Act, they are required to make proof and payment within two years from such passage ; therefore, all filings made prior to that date will expire, by limitation of law, upon unoffcred lands, on the 14th of July, 1872. Tho settler on " unsurveyed land" must file his or her declaratory state ment within three months of the date of the receipt, at the district land office, of the approved plat of the township embracing the tract upon which he or she has settled, and, within thirty months from the expiration of said three months, make tho proper proof and pay for such tract. The proviso of the Act of June, 2, 1862, requiring filing within six months from survey in the field, and providing for filing with the Surveyor General is repealed. The restriction as to construction of tho Act of March 27, 1854, is called to your especial attention. In cases governel by these provisions you will please conform your action thereto. Heqister and Receiver. WILLIS DWTMMOND, C Commissiqner. The Act of MarU 27, 1851, referred to above, reads as follows : " Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in Congress assembled, That every 'settler on public lands which have been, or may be, withdrawn from nnrket in consequence of proposed railroads, and who had set tled thereon prior to such withdrawal, tduill be entitled tj pre-emption at the ordinary minimum to the lands settled on and cultivated by them : Provided, They shall prove up their rights accord ing to such rules and regulations as maybe preserved by the Secretary of the Interior, ar,d pay for the same be fore the day that may be fixed by the President's proclamation for the restor ation of said lands to market. Slate Hem. fllcaniriiji from Suto .Exchange?.! Surveys of the Umiqua. I;j. Roberts, in charge ol the harbor aud river improvements in Oregon, under the appropriations of Congress, has re cently caused a survey to be made of the Lmpqua river, lor the improve ment of which there is an appmpria tion of 822,000. The engineer Kent to do that work reached home on Sun day. Uis observations lead him to conclude that a practical channel can be made with the appropriations as high up as Rosehurg, lor steamers drawing two feet of water, at seasons when the water U five feet above low water mark. During the low water of the summer months navigation is totally imj ractica ble without a costly system of locks, a-? the water runs, in many places, only through deep crevices in the rocks. There are frequent places where the bed rock of the nver has been mt ru by the action of water and h;id boulders into a sort of irregular honeycomb, through the holes of which the principal part of the river runs at low water. At five feet above low water mark, all this rock will be covered of course deep enough lor steamers to pa.-- over, and with the removal of ,-ouie ob-t ructions it is be lieved that a navigable channel of ',,) feet in width can be made as high up a.-Ro.-eburg.

The Roard of Foremen of th-: l'it:and Fire Department met Lst evening at the Police Court-room. It was nwlv ed uuaitimou.dy to parade on the anniver sary of the organization, in Septt inbe" next, and the H ard adjourned to meet again on Wednesday evening, August 1, 1871. The movements of freights iu this city for the month of July past has been greater than for any like pe riod since the opening of bu-incss in Oregon. It has been carefully estima ted that our city trucks and draymen have moved not less than fifteen thous and tons during the month. The sloop lcil, of Astoria, is now at loogue Point under charter t a crp of hydro graphical surveys in the service of the ' i . I . . t - 1' . . T io ei auiviii , rawing uic fnu;.iin0i auu currents at that place for some jurpose unknown to our informant. This morning the police found a cow in the city very badly chopped between the shoulders and ribs on one side, by a long handled axe. Tho blado of the axe was almost out of sight, and the poor biutc was bleeding a stream. The act was probably done by tho owner of some ornamental grounds iu to which the unruly creature had broken to feed. Yesterday morning, about three o'clock, at the Indian camp in the upper part of Albany, some Indi ans while gambling got into a drunken row, during which a half-civilized In dian named Jim Kirk", owning and liv-. ing on a ranch near Rrownsville, in this county, shot and instantly killed anoth er Indian named Charley. The mur dercr was caught and is noyv held iu close coufinmcnt in this place. Quite a sharp thunder shower occur red here night before last. Scandinavians.

Tho Marion County Teachers Associ ation will hold its next annual session in Salem commencing Tuesday tho 15th inst. A gcnoral invitation is ex tended. The Statesman has this : We con fess that we never have been able to appreciate the devotion of tho Gov. to the fortunes of Bill Watkinds, until the matter was yesterday explained by a laboring man who evidently has great native shrewdness. He spoke as fol lows: " You see, Bill has got the drop oh 'em, and they darsen't remove him, becauso, if thoy did, he would be gin to tell what ho knows, and they couldn't stand it-" We see no other way to account fpr it. Evidently, "for ways that are dark and tricks that aro vain" the Salem Ring is peculiar. County Court meets next Monday. REAL ESTATE, It. II. TYSOi, REAL ESTATE & GENR'L AGENT. HI2PfniJCAl' OFFICE.
