Ye are now in the filth mouth of the publi cation of the Statesman, as the change of proprietors was made on tbe 1 t day of Au gust, Dutin?. that time wo have made no re quest for paviiieot of subscriptions, desirous that you should have full opportuDi'y to left, and so fairly approve or disapprove our course. Determined to do our I ft nd let tbe people be tie judges we huve been gratified 'by ruiilizing a success, nliich, iiltimugh woder- . ate, bus beta entirely satisfactory. There are abut three hundred naw subscribers on our lista, nad we eonstitutly receive additions, as well as friendly assurances from all quarters. : Of course it takes money to run a newspa- . per, and mure of it than most people suppose. to we would simply say that we ebull always be. piepared to eeml receipts to thoe who tan pay up. A great campaign is approst'bing and we are anxious to be 011 bnnd, and always be fouud iu tbe front of battle. Great baitles are jeldotn fought 01 credit, go if you help us out with cash, you will supply us with the real sinews or" war. Tie proprietor is aaxiuus to enlarge and improve tbe Statesman, aud it depends entirely on the support he receives whether he can be able to do so. We propose to give the people of Oregon at good a paper at they irill pny jor, and to wake it a success by making it in all respects a people's paptr. If you know any good man who wants the Statksmas, fend us his name, with the understanding lht he pays fur it in six Mouths, and sooner, if be can. It is part of our faith that every sober working man in the land outfit to have a State paper, and that every man who wants to read one, is good fur tbe subscription price. We desire to call the ntteution of our readers and friends to tbe fart thiit we now publish about a much again of matter as the Amkhica Unionist enntaincd at the time of discontinuance. We shall' increase the Statesman to tLe size of the largest paper now published in this Stle when five hundred more subscribers are ad ded to our list, and anything our friends can dc, to help, us tu reach that number will be fully appreciated. We repeat again, that the Statksmas t-bull be as good und as large a paper as th people will pay lor. Please ex amine the direction of your paper and see if the date on tbe tag is the date to which yon have paid up. Where their is no date named, the subscription commenced August 1st. 1SC9. Quite a number have sent us the subscrip tion price and paid up in advance, to whom we tender our best thanks. Money can always be sent us through the mail at our risk, if sent with the knowledge of postmasters. We have secured the follotrins gentlemen as Agents : Albany Aurom Uiownsville Bethel....

The following we take from tbe Washing ton correspondence of tbe Sacramento Cnion. Dec. (ith : Recent Citlifornii papers show that cer tain persons, assumitig to be Ihe agents of tbe Lund Depiirimeui. are making requisi tions iri Nevada county and elsewheie. con cei iiing the Consumption ol t mber on th public land, aud ate levying atiimpage tberelor. These articles reached lieie a few da 8 since ; aud your Congressman. Sargent, immediately submitted them to the Coiuuiis-iouer ol Ihe Land OfBce. with a1 full statement of the condition of the mountain communities, aud endeavored to show that the regulations under the ancient legislatio'n is nntdapted to the circumstaii ces of those communities, and. if enforced, will work destructively. He has asked that any proceeding uuder these old regu lation be stayed until Congress has bad -ip-porlunity to pass up n tbe question. The matter is now being considered by tbe Land Office and Sargent has strong hopes that his request will be granted. Mean . while, he b, prepared a .bill, which be will soon introduce, piuviding for tbe survey and sale, ia quantities nut to exceed. ix hundred and lorty acres to any one person, of all lands unfit for cultivation (and not mineral), by means of altitude or other per manent causes, but which may be utilized as timber or wood lands, at the minimum price of public lands, txcept when within the exterior boundaries of railroad grants, in wbb b case to be double minimum. Tbe maximum quantity of land is put at a sec tion, so thai saw mill men may buy enough for a saw mill, if they desire, while under the tbe law any one can buy as little as forty acres if be desire', lr this bill be comes a law, it will solve tbe timber ques tion, by taking away the necessity of dep redating upon the public lands. It there can be private ownership ot these lands less timber will be wasted. Careful pro vision will be nude to protect all home stead and pre emotion claims, tbe timber necessary lor tbe ..use of miners and agri culturist, etc. The provision in regard to timber for mining is inserted for fear that tbe companion bill may fail, whicb is to provide lor obtaining title to miuing claims.

Tbe Striate of tbe United States, consid ering itself as one of tbe branches of the appointing power, lately demanded, by a resolution, that lb President sbnuld fur. nibh that body with the correspondence und recommendations made to the Presd dent for the appointment of Circuit Judge of the United States, quite a number Lav ing been la'ely nominated by the Presi dent, nnd tbe persons nominated not beinjz such as most of tbe interested Senators would have preferred. Gen. Grnt quite ileeidedly declined to comply with this) de mand, and we bave later intelligence tlmt wben tbe Senate considered the question again, in eX'-cuti.'e session, the resolution irukinjr the demand was 'wilful; awn. autl .nether udopted n q ieyt ng b'tn to iuinisb all the intui tu niou on iliat subject. There has seldom, if ever, been a man at at the head of ibis nation who possessed an m'ich force f character, coupled with so little pretension, as is shown by Gen. Grant. Although he is not a born or edu cated diplomatist, nud only governs by simple business rules, his success is rem li k able, fully illustrating the great advantage plain dealing and practical common sense possesses in accomplishing tvsiilu. It is Bile to predict that our foreign policy will not be complicated during his udmiuisira- lion, und neither will the process or borne government become identified with schemes : of wily politicians, or by the tricks of de- I signing men. His independence in assert ing his rights against the Senate has cmn manded universal lespect, and even that body has withdrawn tbe obnoxious de mand, lor it was an invasion of the private right of the Executive to listen to recum uiendatious. and whh great unanimity and good will t bey prefer in its place a request, with which he will, doubtless), feel pleased 10 comply. West Side Railroad. We learn that efforts are being made to secure Congressional aid for the railroad on the west side of this valley; that petitious ate beitig circulated ami signed universa Iy there, for un additional subsidy to help tbe construe ion of the road so much needed through those counties. We see no reason why similar petitions s'totild not circulate throughout this State, for no one doubts or denies the great need ot railroad facilities there as well as berei and no disposit'on prevails to keep one sec tion of the State backward and without the tbe means to realize a most permanent and thorough prosperity. Congress can well afford to aid the immediate development of this portion of Ihe Union, which is capa ble of- becoming one of the most wealthy and prosperous under favoriug ciiCum stanees. and if niade populous and wealthy can udd much to the actual strength of the Goverrynent and to its ability to defend the northwest coast in case of war or invasion. The Chinese Question. We bave received the fo'lowing bill, under tbe frank of Senator Williams : Mr. Willi not asknJ,anJby uumiinjus consent obtained, leave to bring in the fol lowing bill, to regulate the immigration of Chinese iuto tile U.uited Slates, which was read twice and ordered to be priuted : Be it enacted by the Senate and House q) Jiepreseiitutiut.s of the United Utatts of Anw ivi in Cowjitss ussetithitd.

That this act shall not be construed to deny to Chinamau free from any contract or obli gation of service tbe right of voluntary im migration into the United states Mormon Preparation.

Hamrdnr, Dec. 35. The Star in the East It is a pleasant thing to find, occasionally, a day iu lile'g pilgrimage devoted to happi ness to we almost everj class of the min gling multitude, lorming the basin of socie ty, agitated by tbe same impulse and shak ing off the dull cares ot lite to mingle their rejoicings. These are the common links that unite tbe bnman family, that make tbe world akin ; and on this morning, when pleusure rules tbe hour, when the glad greetings ot ' Merry Christmas " pass from the lips of nil. and there seems no room tor jt-alousy. uo excuse for Jiate, it is well that we elu ul t rt ii e. iiber the orig a of tbe anni teisary we celebrate, and with all love aud humility bear that remembrance. To-day the Christian world celebrates tbe anniversary of t. e lime when Christ was bi r.i. In all ihe joui uey of the sun to da) it wakes tbe acclaim of rejoicing millions. In every home there is tbe sunshine of un commou joy; tor tbe gratelul heart ot ChiisienUom. claiming the gilt of salvation us its best aud holy heritage, makes holiday fur all who live. We weave garlands ot tigiten to commemorate eternal life. We give gills o those we love, because He w"w 'vrd us gave Hts greatest Gilt to us the lather to the child becuttse our Fatbei gave to us his Sou.

Lnughead bave laid us under obligations that will be fully appreci ated at dinner time to-dav. A gentleman from E da informs us that tbe attack on the boys of that place in the last ( number of the Polk county Timet was quiie j overdone ; the boy3 may be considerably to blame, but they are not near so bad as tbe Time represents. Mr. B. Strang informs us that several days since,, his little girl lost an otter skin cape, somewhere- between the Bennett House and big place across the creek. Any person having found such, will confer a tavor by returning it to him. ' Mrs. Dr. Me Curdy had the pleasure, last evening, of greeting her son, whom she had not seen for four years, while ho has been prosecuting his studies; at the East. He prom ised, some time ago, to take Christmas dinner with her here, and he seems only to have ar rived in time fur breakfast. Quackenbush t Co., of Portland, bave an advertisement in our columns worth the at tcntixn of all engaged in wagon and plow making, as tbey import wood materials for the use of wagon and plow makers and the best of carriage timber. It seems to be settled that we do not raise the best quality of tim ber in this State, and our readers can depend upon it that the firm of Qaackenbush & Co. import and bave fur sale tbe best timber for ail those purpose?. ' Attention of the public is called to the ad vantage of usin stamped envelopes rather than postage stamps. Almost daily numbers of letters are dropped ia tbe postofiics, with out prepayment with Revenuo stamps and va rious other kinds of stamps which are held for postage, whereas by the use of stamped en velopes the letters would go forward without delay. Special iriHuccaients are offered by the Department to parties desiring to purchase 500 and upwards. For particulars call at the Salem postoffice. The bit case, which baa several times been referred to by our corespondent at Dallas, was rather an amusiDg afiVir, and the partic ulars, ns given us by a citizen are as follows : A saloon keeper of Dallas, sold o.ie of his customers a bottle of whisky on whicb a bal ance remained unpaid of 25 cents. The cus tomer brought back the buttle of course, and tendered it as an equivalent for tbe whole two bits. The saloonist had told the man the but tie was worth two bits, but refused to take it back at that price ; and tbe customer, having been told by the saloonist that it was worth that, declared be would bave two bits for it or stand tbe law suit. So they had a law suit for the odd bit, and as tbe saloonist proved that bottles were oidy worth a bit and tbe customer couldn't prove what the whisky was worth, he had to pay the bit and also foot the bill of costs. i Dailt Press. Our amiable cotemporary. who so toploftically occupies the upper rooms of the three story brick, publishes a prospec tus, or kometbiug of the sort, for a daily pa per, to be started in connection with his pres ent intermittent weekly, and if tbe Democracy can stand daily doses of that sort it would gratify the Statksman immensely, as not only is competition the life of trade, but two dail ies would considerably liven up the town. The great inducements expressed by the ven erable being, wbo honors the world by living to edit tbe Prett for undertaking, or rather talking about undertaking this weighty enter prise, is tho "desire- expressed in this commu nity for the establishmeuts of a daily paper here, that the citizens would not be ashamed to send abroad as the representative of the in telligence and social refinement of the people." "Jes so Squair." Pat us down for a copy. Ikpo'tast Lrctorbs. We have just been informed that Professor Thomas F. Campbell of Christian College, will deliver a coarse of lectures in the Christian Church, in Salem, next week, commencing Monday at 7 p.m. The subjects - selected, on Monday evening. "Demonology Tuesday, "The power of the Air," in which he will pay his respects to mesmerism, clairvoiance, spirit rapping, Ac, 4c; Wednesday, "Life and Death ;" Thurs day, "Baoon'a Organon," applied to biblical investigation. After which, he proposes to present the Gospel in a series of discourses for the consideration of saints and sinners. Prof. Campbell bears a very hith reputation as a scholar, logician and : speaker, and is re nounced, by competent judges, one of the most interesting add instructive Ministers of tbe Gospel in the State. The subjects which he has chosen are new, and of vast import ance, anl from the known ability of thj Icc- . turer. we tei justified in saying that the coursj will be, altogether, one f the most in- terestiag ver offered to tbe peopt of Salem. SALEM. OBEGON, Taeaday, Dec. 88. Lost. If any one found a lady's hat, on Sunday last, near the Methodist Church, they can find an owner by applying at this office. Dr. Rice has his card in the Statmmaw. His office is on State street, oa the same floor as Lobdell'g Photograph Gallery. Married. At the residence f; Dr. Hiatt, by Rev. J. Ostrander, James Wheeler, Esc. of Polk oounty, and Mrs. Eliza J. Miller. Compliments of the parties received. The Union .Hotel has a standing card in this paper, as a refutation of the story that has been current, that it is no longer open. It is open, and Mr. Graves wants his friends to know that be sustains his well earned repu tation by the way it is being conducted. By friend from Oregon City we learn that two fires occurred there, one on Saturday even ing, which did no damage, the other on Sunday morning in the Episcopal Church, which came near destroying that edifice. One man was injured by falling, but our informant did not learn his name. Christmas passed off pleasahtly in Salem. The Methodist Church in town and the one in South Salem had Christmas trees, and the ex ercises in each case a success. Tbe South Sa lem Cbrismns tree was delivered of its abund ant fruits upon Christmas evening. Tbe boys around town kept up the usual racket, but no unpleasant accidents occurred. Tbe protracted meeting that has been in progress during the past three weeks, at the Baptish Church in this city, will be continued during the present week. Quite a number have been added to the membership, and tbe interest is increasing. Services every day at 10.30 a. in., and at 7 o'clock p. tu. The pub lic are invited. Tbe Salem Dramatic Troupe will this even ing perform Douglas Jerold's great tnorul drama, " Fifteen Years of a Drunkard's Life," divided by five-year intervals. This is one of the best plays of one of tbe finest of our mod ern writers, and contains the finest character of comedy. All lovers of temperance should appreciate its influence. Doors open at seven o'clock. Admittance 60 cents. The Emancipation Jubilee will come off next Saturday, as we bave before announced, but we bear of a change iu the order of exer cises, caused by tbe illness of J . K. braith, who was engaged to deliver the oration on that occasion. Rev. George P. Riley, the colored preacher of Portland, has been re quested to officiate in bis stead, and has agreed to do so. Several friends have lately sent us specimens of the counterfeit money circulars, to which we have alluded aud which we have exposed. We can only say to all who receive such, "Let them alone and pey no attention to them, and tbey will do you no harm." Peo ple who bave not got used to human deprav ity, of course, are a little startled at being in vited to become rascals. Firs. The alarm bell sounded on Sunday soon after one o'clock, caused by the sponta neous combustion of a keg of phosphorus in the back warehouse of the drug store of J. W. Souther, and just behind the engine bouse. Both the engines were soon out, hut the fire was out soouest, ns some boards being knock ed off the affair was speedily ended by the ap plication of a few buckets of water. Jeffkrso. Mr.. Ramsey, County Super intendent, wlo has been in the vicinity of Jefferson appraising school lands, informs us that the people of that place celebrated Christ mas Eve in a pleasant manner. Tbe Sabbath School children bad appropriate exercises and a Christmas tree at the Academy, while tho elders assembled at tbe church where the even ing was spent listening to music and appro priate addresses, and in dividing around the gifts upon the Christmas tiee and partaking of a bountiful supper. Everybody seemed to be full of enjoytrent. Ssow. The wire from California informs us that the denizens of the " happy climate " have had a little storm, during which snow fell to the depth of five feet. Oregon, with its less favored clime, can't quite go that. We hear of an inch and a half of snow in Wash ington county, which lasted half a day, and half an inch in Yamhill and Polk, but none has yet been seen in Salem. Will our neigh bors, who ignore all claims of Oregon to any kiud of good name, please make a weather item. of this? No Incident. It is fine fun traveling on the P. T. Company's boats this weather, espe cially if one takes a wagon ride through the mud for two or three miles before embarking, as the Statesman reporter did yesterday, just to bring out tbe contrast. Hut where boats run righ along, without stopping for anything for twenty-five or thirty miles, as the Albany did yesterday, it gets monotonous. This may be very pleasing to travelers in haste to reach tbeir journey's end, but it is death to the hun ter after items. Dinner was the only incident for several hours, and that brought to mind the dinner of two days before too vividly to be as happy a time as it might otherwise have been. The river is up to a good stage of water for good boats, and tbe Company know too much to run any other kind. They make good time up stream, but going down ia fun. Silvertox. Ralph Geer, Esq., has been to Silverton and reports that tbey kept tbeir Christmas in high old style. On Friday even ing a ball was given for the benefit of the Odd Fellows, which realized over $100 to wards buying an organ ; sixty couplea partic ipated in the "light fantastic" Next even ing a Christmas Tree in the Odd Fellows' Hdtl. Tbe exercises consisted of an essay by Mr. Wolford, represented as an excellent production ainging by the Liberty Glee Clnb, antics by Santa Clans, who was well repre sented and distributed about 500 presents worth in all several hundred dollars. After which some of tbe young folks got np another dance and kept it up till midnight. A pleas ing incident was a contribution taken up on tbe spot on hearing of tbe distress of an emi grant lady in thai plaoe. Between thirty and forty dollars was collected in a few -moments, showing that wben Silverton folks have a Christmas they want everyone to be able to enjoy it. . ! v " ' Grant's Message.

Link CpuxTr.-Efforts are making, we learn by Ibe Register, to raise donations in the city of Albany to '.be value of $30,000, to 6ecure the location of the railroad line through that town. Propos tions from town proprietors were received, made on condition the depot should be located on their land ; tbe location of tbe depot seemed to attract more attention than tho location of tbe road. A correspondent from Harrisbug informs that paper that the citizens of that place bad met to consider he possibility of raising S10.000 to secure Ihe location of the railroad through that place and a unanimous vole was had re solving to do so. The programme seems to be that Eugene City is to raise $20,0. 0, Harrisburg $10,000; and Albany $30,000. and that, on that condition, the road shall run through those places.

Many believe this giant figure of stone, part of which is wash ed away by the action of tbe water, is tbe petrifaction of a human body, over 10 feet high and built in collossal proportions ; others claim it to be the work of some former race, who occupied this continent long since, and some claim that it is a fraud got np on speculation, and a very profitable speculation it turns out to the lucky owners. It is described by anat omists as a very wonderful production and perfect in every representation of the hu man frame, and artists say it is an excellent production of a work of art. Tbe following is tbe summing up of tbe case by a correspondent of the Sacramento Union, writing lately from New York : The stone giant whicb has been astonish ing the natives of Onondaga county, where it was found, is on its way to this city. A friend of mine saw it ia Albany a few days since, and while jhe concurs in the opinion of the press thai it is well worth seeing, be qualifies the state oent by pronouncing it an ingenious fraud. A story is going around that the giant was taken iuto Onondaga county and deposited on the farm ot New ell by Hull, who Ggures promin ntly in its discovery anl subsequent proprietorship, ami it is distinctly charged that several mouths ago an iron.bound box was con veyed bv a four-borse team down the road letding lo Newell s bouse, i.un md was not bat Hull ap- seeu beyond his farm, and lb peared in that locality about Ihe same time, There are various other suspicious circum stances surrounding the alleged mystery, and two or three scientific gentlemen, among them Professor Marsh,- of Ya'.e Col lege, i learn, have pronounced against tbe antiquity of tbe statue. But notwithstand ing this, the credulity of the public ap pears undisturbed and stock in the stone man has suffered no decline. One hundred thousand dollars was offered and refused for a one-fourth interest iu the statue while it wa in Albany. His giantship proves oue claim to tbe powerful ancistry wbicb he represents, to be well founded be draics well, filling tbe house nightly. His draft powers are cerlaiuly superior to those of tbe artists who have drawn bim for tbe illustrated and daily press, though the cuts which these bave presented of him were probably not intended to be the "unkind"' representations which tbey appear. Ac cord.ng to a private account of tbe statue, it is not a very sightly object, nor a desir able show for ladies to visit. It is simply a curiosity, and it is being brought to tbe right market. In a few days we shall bave the newspapers full of it. Tus Fiiut Locomotive. The first effect ive locomotive engine built ia America, was built iu Philadelphia, from a draft by Ku fus Tyler, in 1832. This gentleman was then considered tbe best mechanic in Amer ica. Tl e wheels of Ibe eojine were made of wood, with broad rims und thick tires. the n mge being bolted on the side, it was called Old Ironsides, and was first put in motion on ibe Gerniautown and Norristown railroad, where it ran one mile an bour,and was considered tbe wonder of the day. It was ascertained t! at the wheels were too light to draw the tender, and to overcome this difficulty the tender was placed in lront of the engine. This kept tbe w: eels ou the track. Tbe maker und bis partner pushed tne engine ahead until it obtained some speeii, anu tnen jumped on the engine. bteain was only generated fast enough to seep it in motion a short time, so they were compelled to ultimately push and ride du ring the whole trip. It was regarded as a success, the wheels were afterwards re placed with iron wheels. This old engine is still in existence ia Vermont. American Builder An invalid son of Bacchus was about to undergo un operation for dropsy at the hands of his physicians.
