The Principle Applied.
The Herald's repudiation problem re
minds us of an occurrence to wbich we
were personally cogni-zant. AVben green
backs were down to about forty-one or
forty-two cents on the dollar, a gentle
man living in Yamhill county, a prominent
farmer, and by a strange nnoinoly a Demo
crat, borrowed S3. 000 in currency, giving
therefor his note for the principal, with in
terest payable annually at 12 per cent in
coin. Since that time, in ppiti- of hickiirss
in his family, short crops and low prices,
our friend has succeeded in paying off his
other debts and kept down the interest on
this one, by punctual payments. This season
he proposes to reduce the principal of the
greenback debt, which he will do by mak
ing payments of over 81) cvi.t for every 40
cents he borrowed, and on which he has
since paid 60 cent in gold as interest.
Now, we want the Herald to explain this:
if it is wrong for the people in the aggre
gate to pay their debts because the curren
cy loaned has increased in market value,
why is it not wrong for this sturdy old far
mer to pay bis private obligation according
to the strict terms of his contracts.
We should like to see the Herald man call
on our friend and explain to him the beau
ties of the repudiation. We imagine an ad
dress something like this: My dear sir, you
are doing wrong. Don't yen see that on
every 40 cents you borrowed, you have in
five years paid CO interest. Now 40 cents
in the Euglish money market is worth for
five years about 20 cents, hence you have
exactly paid the rriginal debt and just in
terest. and it is contrary to the principles of
the Democratic party that you should pay
anything more to this bloated bondholder.
The ouly reply we could expect to hear
from our friend would be this : Sir. I bor
rowed a sum of money when I was in need,
the currency in which I took that sum was
depreciated, and there was as good a pros
pect lor its going still further down as there
was for its rising. You, sir, told me that
in five years that currency would be worth
less than the paper from which it had been
printed. However, I took the money and
used it ; Ieaved my estate and I am ready
and-willing to pay back the exact number
of dollars that I agreed to when I effected
the loan. The iHea to pay a single dollar
less than th it smacks too much of villainy
to be entertained in the mind of an honest
man. and indeed the mere proposition so to
do is no less than an insult and an imputa
tion on my character as a man of probity
Would he not be right ? Would any one :n
their senses approach an honest man with
bo shameless a proposition as regards pri
vate affairs? If one should, would he not
meet, and be certain to receive a wilhering
rebuke? And yet a newspaper, claiming
respectability, has bo little opinion of its
contituents' honor as to make precisely the
same proposition and on precisely the game
grounds as it might be made in the case we
have cited. This is not an imaginary case,
nor is it at all a singular on' and we hope
our friend has seen the Herald's repudiation
extra. If bo there is one more good Re
publican voter in old Yamhill.

Letter from Sacr STtnto.
Sackamknto, f , 24, 1870.
E;i. Statkmas : One of tl . oft delight
ful excursions which it is p le to take
dnring the December holidt iu this or
any other country, is to ma' ;be circuit
from Sacramento, via Stock. fc3 and San
Jose to San Fruncisco by ra-H-nd return
by steamer and rail via S-u Quentin and Val
lejo to this city, stopping on the way to
" do " the towns mentioned and the places
adjacent. It was my intention to give a
description ot such a tour for the readers of
the Statesman ; but so long a time has
now elapsed it would be too much like
dishing up old statistics to do so. Sol will
turn to moie practical, though less inviting,
topics.
As the California Legislature is now in
session, a few words concerning it may in
terest you. Dining the last political cam
paign, in this State, it was tho cry of the
Democratic leaders that the radicals had
sorely oppressed the State by their extrava
gance and by erroneous special legislation,
and that the only remedy for the high rates
of laxatiou, under which the couutry was
suffering, was to elect Democrats to office.
This argument, and the supposed sympathy
of the Republican party with the importa
tion of Mongolians, enabled the Demo
cratic party to secure a powerful majority
in the Legislature. Out of 120 members of
that body, there are but 22 Republicans
11 in each house and some of those are on
the fence. There has seldom been so fin
an opportunity offered to a party to make a
good poitit in its favor ; and if the Legisla
ture bad met, passed the few laws wbich
were actually needed, and then adjourned,
after a session of not more than sixty days,
as it might easily have done, and without
resorting to partizan schemes.it would have
secured itself for years in the respect and
affections of the people. But no sooner
had members elect began to gather at
Brown's (the -Golden Eagle) than the old
veterans who had been so long shut off
from the public teat, and the yc linger vete
rans who had labored so hard in the recent
struggle, began to press each his special
meritorious claim for some place. Unfor
tunately, there were not enough offices for
the applicants, and a number of new offices
were created mostly clerkships to com
mittees. By this and other extravagant do
ings, the current expenses ol this Legisla
ture are made to exceed by more that $2."0
a day the current expenses of any of its
predecessors. But this is a small matter
compared with tlx character of the legisla
tion that has been indulged in. The very
Orst bill introduced was a measure to keep
in office a Democratic school superintend
ent in S.ui Francisco, and to prevent the
election to that office of Mr. Sweat. There
are now nearly 800 bills on the books, and
three-fourths of them are of a character to
be termed " special legislation' Bills for
tho relief of everybody who can rake up the
shadow of a claim, are under consideration,
and are to allow $5,000 damages for the de
struction, by a mob. of an unscrupulous
little sheet, published in the interest of the
" S. C." by ' Long Primer v Hall, at Visa
lia, in 1862, was actually passed, and but
for the veto of the Governor would have
become a taw. In advocating this I ill, Mr.
Pendergast, one of the great lights of the
party, vehemently declared that he hoped
to live to see all such claims paid, even if
it should bankrupt the State, as he believed
it would. He would then demand indem
nity from the General Government ! James
II. Hardy was convicted eight years ago. by
a high court of impeachment, of bavins
publicly declared, while judge of the sixth
judicial district, that he was a rebel, that
the Constitution of the United States had
gone to b 1." and of drinking to the health
of Jeff. Davis. No disabilities whatever
were imposed upon him, but he was pur
posely left free to appeal to the people for
reinstatement in office, lie did not make
the appeal ; but in this session his friends
brought in a bill to expunge and efface from
the journals of the Senate the records of the
judgment of the court, and without a word
of apology for the offenses committed, or
even an expression of regret for what had
been said, the bill passed and has been
signed by the Governor! The various
propositions to plunder the State ot its
money and lands have attracted to the Capi
tal a lobby of the hardest-looking set of
men I ever saw. To give any idea of the
schemes would doubtless take up more
space than you have to spare. It is to be
hoped that the people of our State will
profit by the bitter experience of our neigh
bors, and steer clear of this Democratic
reformation party. A.
First Gun from Old Marion.
En. Statesman : Falling iu company with
an old, highly respected citizen of Howell
rrairie, a few days ago, our talk turned
upon politics and the prospects for our
ensuing election in June. We made an ac
curate count ot Howell Prairie precinct at
present, according to each man's politics.

Throwing the doubtful ones to the Demo
crats, the estimate stands 36 to 5j. It will
be remembered lhat Smith beat Logan 13
votes, two years ago, in this precinct 1
hope that Smith will be the candidate again
this year for Congress, on the Democratic
ticket. Let old Mai ian be wide awake at
her primary meetings next month. D.
Mungen, of Ohio, having had his last
speech printed and applauded by the Her
ald has been incited to try it again. This
time he obtained leave to print in the Globe
a speech that no one in Congress cared to
d then Dublisbed a tirade of
abuse that is characterized as indecent.
The result is that the Senate gets a rap on
the knuckles, and Congress quits publish
ing speeches for the people to read lhat they
are unwilling to listen to themselves.
What do those decent and brave journals
who have expended so much energy in at
tacking the dead Richardson whom they
feared living, think about that bigamy now ?
The Supreme Court has decided that a di
vorce legal in the State where granted,
must be recognized in all parts of the
Union.

A True Picture.
A gentleman of this city, who has lately
returned from Washington, states that Sen
ator Williams occupies comfortable, but in
expensive rooms, at the National Hotel,
Washington. His parlor is well furnished,
with no appearance of extravagance, Lut i
often visited by those occupying the high
est sociat position. For instance, on New
Year's Day, the reception of Mrs. Williams
was honored by the presence of the most
distinguished residents at the National
Capital. It is true that Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liams are recognized as occupying the Erst
position in society, but this position is von
neither by extravagance, equipage or show,
but by worth and talent. No Senator of
equal standing live3 so unostentaciously,
for most are men of wealth. It is well
known in Washington that Williams is not
wealthy, but that makes no difference in the
admiration of statesmen, nor does it pre
vent the applause tA the audiences who
gladly accord him 'q, hearing. That our
Senator stands thus should be a matter of
pride to eyery Oregonian. and the fact that
Mrs. Williams is considered one of the great
est ornaments of the brilliant society of
the Capital should at least be a pleasant
satisfaction to us, especially when in each
case- the position is the result of personal
deservings. We seldom feel authorized to
invade the domain of private life, to make
public the daily life of a political friend or
opponent, for motives e.ther of eulogy or
dispraise. We recognize the necessity that
a lino should separate the public servant
whose acts are open to the freest criticism,
from the private citizen he becomes within
his own domicil. There are times, however,
when public slander can ouly be reproached
aright by relating facts ; when falsehood
can only be driven home by entering fully
into detail, and this is one of them.
Cuban News-
The cables from Cuba seem to have a ten
dency towards the Spanish Government in
its worst force. The telegraphic news sent
from Havana, under Spanish serveilance, is
invariably wrong. An account of a victo
ry over the insurgents is sure to be follow
ed by news through the mails that the Cu
bans have thrashed the volunteers severely.
They are very ingeuions too, those fellows
who get up the Spanish side of tho story.
When they could not deny that an Ameri
can had been brutally murdered in the
streets of Havana, and his comrades severely
wounded, simply for wearing a blue neck
lie, (blue being the color ot Cuba;) when
these atrocities could not be denied, ihey
try to evade the responsibiliy by a story
that there are a lot of Cubans among the
volunteers, who have joined them in order
to bring that highly respectable body into
disrepute. We suppose too, it was Cubans
in disguise who massacred men, women and
children for wearing their countrys' colors
in that same city a short time since, and
t'jat it was by Cubans in disguise that a
number of influential merchants in Havana
were seized at midnight, and sent in chains
to Spain.
Perhaps they too are the actors in the
scene reported in our latest newspapers,
wherein a large number of persons suspect
ed of holding "communicat'on with the Cu
ban Junta were -arrested and promptly ex
edited."
Oil, those Havana authorities are humor
ous fellows, but they go too far in their
jokes, we have learned to understand them
and to wait for news by m. i'. for he who
can calculate the value of a dispatch from
Havana to New York, in the way of relia
bility, evinces the
powers.

Woman's Sukmiauk iv Utah. A letter
from Salt Lake to the Saciamen o Union.says
the Womau Suffrage bill, of which I wrote
to you in my last as being in preparation,
was introduced into the House of the Leg
islative Assembly on Saturday evening, and
was pushed through, the question having
been debated at length in Committee of the
Whole. The Judiciary Committee of the
Ct uncil, by amending it, made considerable
change in its construction, and it was very
warmly discussed in the Council on Wed
nesday evening. Alter a debate of some
hours, which was listened to by a number of
ladies tor whom seats had been prepared,
it unanimously passed its three readings in
the amended lorm and was sent back to the
House, where it was again taken up on
Thursday and the amend men Is concurred
in. Yesterday it was placed in the acting
Governor's hands lor his consideration and
signature, and, I understand he has ex

Section I. Be it enacted by the Gover
nor and Legislative Assembly of the Terri
tory of Utah. That every woman over the
age of twenty-one years, born in the Uni
ted States, or who i the wife or the daugh
ter of a native born citizen, or the wife or
the daughter of a natualized citizen of the
United States, who has resided in this Ter
ritory six months next pieceding any gen

vote at such election for all officers made
elective under the laws of the United States
or of this Territory.
The first State election of 1870 is that of
New Hampshire, which takes place in
.March. There are four candidates in the
field for Governor a Republican, Demo
cratic, Temperance and Labor Reform
and this complicates political affairs to such
an extent as to render the result in the
State somewhat doubtful. The Republi
cans and Democrats have renominated their
last years' candidates; the Temperance
men have put up Professor Burrows, nine
years ago President of the Pittsb;:rg Fe
male College ; while the Laber Reformers
on Tuesday last nominated Samuel Flint,
on a greenback for bonds platform. They
declare they can poll eight thousand votes
in the Slate. Last spring Gov. Stearns had
3 773 majority ever the" Democratic candi
date, while the tall preceding Gen. Grant's
majority was 6.9G7.
Two whites and five negroes, having mur
dered and robbed Col. David Coleman, near

were taken from the sheriff and hung by a

concealment The negroes confessed that
they were members ot the Ku-klux and had
been for years.

SALEM. OEEGON,
THE CITY AND COUNTRY.
Saturday, Feb. 38.
Retired. We learn that Mr. Witten, of tho
firm of Moores, Witten & Miller, retires from
the South Salem Mills. The milling business
will bo conducted, as usual, by Moores &
Miller.
Weather. If our citizens could stand the
atmosphere yesterday they can certainly put
up with an item to tho effect that it was one
of the wretched days of the winter. The rain
was colder, the wind wetter, and the whole
arrangement rougher than anything we have
had heretofore.
Again. There was such a demand for our
editions of yesterday, that all the ppare copies
of both Daily and Weekly were carried off
before night, and a great many who wished to
ohtai l a copy of James T. Crump's farewell
letter, we disappoiuted. We republish the
letter, and have extra copies on hand. They
can also be found at Yeaton A Boon.
Great Sale. Tho property of Mathias
Swegle is to bo 'sold this morning, at the
Court-house door, at 11 o'clock. There is a
fine farm for . sale ; also, some valuable town
property in Salem, and quite a good stock for
a farm, both of animals and utensils. We
give this advertisement free, as tho assignees
inform us they were unablo to induce the
Court to publish the notieo in a paper issued
at this place, and they have found it necessary
to advertise by means of posters.
The Funeral. The remains a James T.
Crump were yesterday followed to tho Chris
tian Church by the Society of Odd Fellows,
five Lodges being represented in the proces
sion. At the church, prayer was offered by
the Rev. C. C- Stratton, and an address by
Elder S. C. Adams, after which tho funoral
train moved to tho Odd Fellows' cemetery,
when the impressive rites of their fuueral
service was performed. -jOwing to tho inclem
ency of the weather, but few went to the grave,
excepting those who could procure vehicles.
Complimentary. The following army order
is published in regard to Captain George
Williams, of this city, by his commanding
officer :

terminating tho assignment to duty of all
retired officers, Brevet Captain Georgo Wil

from duty as aid-de-camp, upon tho staff of
the commanding General, and will proceed
without, delay to his homo, and report thence,
by letter, to the Adjutant General of the Army.
Captain Williams has been connected with
the department for a long time ; has dis
charged the duties assigned him faithfully
and well, and it is but justice to say, that it
will bo lung before the officers of tho command
will forget tho brave soldier, the blunt, lut
honest and kind-hearted gentleman, Captain
George Williams. A. II. Nickf.rso.v.

Burlingamo's parents weru formerly residents
of Linn county, whero his mother died some
years since. : Ilia father left Oregon in 18(10
to visit his son, just thcu rising to fame, and
never returned.
A Curd. The ladies of St. Paul's Church
tender their thanks for the patronage extended
to them, on Friday evening at the Legislative
Halls especially to Hon. is. E. May, for tho
use of the rooms ; to Mr. J. K. Gill, for the
use of a fine piano, and -to all others who aided
them in making their reception a pleasant oc
casion. Tomato Seed. Wo have received from J.
Baync Lowe, of New York, some tomato
seeds, and a long article, accompanied by a
request to publish the same, and give the
seeds good treatment. The artielo is too long,
but tho " favorite variety " will get the best
care we can give, and if it turns out well,
more anon.
Heart Freight, The Eugeno Journal chron
icles the arrival at that port of tho steamer
Albany, and says she took away a full freight
and that there are several times ns much
produco still awaiting shipment. Tho P. T.
Company say they can't see it that way about
the fnll freight, as they only brought down
eiijJit boxen of egg. -As to there being sever
al times as much freight there now, if a wagon
has arrived lately, it may bo truo.
The Commercial is a very lively paper and a
good one, under the present niagemcnt, but a
little inclined to be what Artemus called
" sarkasticle." For instance, they keep a
standing lino iff their papar, thus : ' Tho Sa
lem Dailies contain no news of interest," and
say that as usual, on an occasion when we
printed a largo number of extra copies and
they fell short of tho demand, when our two
neighbors stole a column from our paper, and
of course had something of interest in them.
We think that cruel remark might have been
omitted just for once.
Complimentary and Correct. Wo find in
the Albany Democrat, of Friday, the follow
ing neat compliment and just commentary
upon our well known business men :
Tersons desiring anything in tho lino of tho
business of Mr. Wm. Davidson, Collector of
Claims and Real Estate Dealer,. Portland,
Oregon, could not do better than to se
cure that gentleman's services in tbo matter.
Ho is prompt, reliable and efficient, combining
eminent abillity with the most polite and gen
manly bearing, and his motto is never to fail
in performing that which he undertakes.
The lie'iiutcr gives tho following notice of our
town. We naturally begin to think the Iir.iji
ter is a very nice paper :
Salem is making rapid strides in growth and
prosperity. An immense auiount of monoy
has been expended during the last season in
public and private dwellings. Reed's Opera
House, in point of style and elegance", will vie
with any other building on the coast. If en
ergy and liberality will build up a largo city,
Salem is largely endowed with the proper ele
ments. Tho Bates troupe last evening played the
attractive drama of Nell Gwinne, the scones
of which are laid in the times of Charles the
Second, of England. No play could be laid in
times of Charles Second, and be a reflex of
of those times, without showing up the immo
ral character of the court, yet this was entirely
within the bounds of propriety whilo describing
the characters and incidents of that era. It
was very admirably rendered, and we must
say that the efforts of Mr. Bates deserves to be
appreciated in fumising so high an order of
entertainment. Mrs. Bates is a lady highly
appreciated in sooial life, and the stage fur
nishes little cause for dread when persons of
good character tread the boards.
Tuesday, March I.
Real Ettate. Transactions in real estate
during- the past month, as indicated by the
records at the Clerk's office, have been rather
dull. Tho number of deeds recorded in Feb
ruary is 48, number of mortgages, 10. Dur
ing the same period, there hare been issued
six licenses to marry.
On the Wiiuj Capt.CrandaIl,of the Orego
Hia, who has been absent from his post for a
few days, recruiting, probably, for the spring
campaign, returned to Portland yesterday.
The Captain we can say without disparage
ment to the local interests " of the Empo
liam furnishes the best column of city news
tae metropolis is able to afford, and no doubt
his city items will be all the fresher for a few
whiffs of country air. .

Company. The articles of incorporation of
this company were filed in tho office of the
Secretary of State yesterday, the incorporators
being Messrs. Hampton Kelly, Penumbra
Kelly, and G. C. Barger, citien of Multno
mah county. It seems that these gentlemen
propose to run a plank road from East Port
land to the town of Silverton an enterprise
in the execution of which we wish them much
success and great speed.
JVcw Ada. Mr. J. L. Starkey can give val

farms.
The best of beef steaks can be purchased at

Iiaplizimj. Quite a crowd assembled, Sun
day afternoon, at the bank of the mill pond,
on Trade street, to witness tho ceremony of
baptizing, by immersion, a youn man, who
was a candidate for admission to the Baptist
Church. Just as the ceremony was ended,
and the assembly began to break up, another
company came down to the water with a lady,
who was baptized into the Christian Church.
The air and the water was very cold, and it
was observed by more than one, that such
proceedings are dangerous, but we believe it
is a remarkable fact, that no one was ever in
jured by the wetting received on such an oc
casion. -Von ett. Tho Daily fret made jts last ap
pearance Sunday morning, uttering a "good
bye" and giving its readeri a truthful ac
count of tho difficulties anil expenses required
for the production of a daily paper. During
its existence, the Daily ' was a very cred
itable journal in most particulars ; but tho fact
is that Salem can scarcely afford a good daily
paper; an'd it certainly cannot afford two.
We take this opportunity to impress on the
minds of all citizen;, regardless of party, that
the advantages that will result V) our city
from having a good daily paper go forth ng an
assurance of what the town amounts to. While
our city cannot bo expected to supply the
commercial paper of the State, it eon and
shonld support a first class newspaper which
should command a general circulation, ami by
giving the Daily Statksma support, our cit
i.ens can enable its publisher to make it both
attractive and influential. Salem has mate
rial interests that can be best mlvanceil by nn
able and popular journal. All the journals
of the place should be well supported by its
citizens, but as there is but one daily, it de
serves such support as will mako tho Weekly
which grows out of it, known and respected
everywhere.

A Captain's Gkievamk. On Tuesday
last Capt. Goff, of the ship Laurens, now
lying at Freeport, applied to D. S. Smith
Esq., U. S. Commissioner, for a warrant for
the arrest of two seamen, who refused to do
duty. The men were arrested and under
went an examination, which resulted in
their being committed to jail, to wait there
until the vessel was ready for sea. On
ThnrJay, two men belonging to the same
ship, made a complaint ngainst Capt. Goff,
for not furnishing them with the common
necessaries of life! He was arrested, and
brought before the U. S. Commissioner on
Friday, when lie compromised the case by
paving the men oil, settling the costs, and
likewise agreeing to the discharge of the
men in jail, together with payintr their
wages and the costs incurred. Seattle Intel

Naukow Escai'k. As two little boys
sons of Messrs. Wyatl and Lrownson were
out grouse hunting, a few days since, near
Philomath, some wild auimal, supposed to
be a pan'hfT, sprang from the branch of an
oak tree at Mr. Wyatt's little son. The
little fellow, w tb great presenile of mind,
dodged out of the way. ard instead of run
ning and screaming, as mofct boys would
have done, under like circumstances, he
stood li s ground, eyed his antagonist and
called for his companion. Before he could
reach him the animal took to the brush.
Presence of mind and nerve, no doubt,
saved the little fellow's life. Wild animals
are destroying many lambs in the neighbor
hood. Gazelle.
Idaho. Feb. 19. From the Ralesinau :
There is repot of new discoveries of plac
er mines in the hills, about seven miles from
this city, in the direction of Idaho. Some
Mexicans have been camped np , there and
been prospecting. The prospects are on
the hills, high above the prosibility of get
ting water, but they packed some dirt down
to water, and a Hour sack yielded ihree
bits A rich strike in the Wide West
mine, Alturi county, wbich. if true, is a
big thing. The rock pounded up in a mor
tar yielded a dollar to the pound.
Navigvtiox ok the Umtq.ia. A State tel
egram from Roseburg dated Feb. 27th says:
Capt. Haun treated our citizens to a ride on
his steamer Swan to-day, tho boat being
crowded with delighted people, alter which
he was presented with a suit ot clothes, ac
companied by thanks and hearty congratu
lation, all of which the hero of Umpqua
received in his usual felicitous manner.
The Swan has a carrying capacity of 150
tons. The water is only at a fair stage, and
the rapids were passed with much more fa
cility than was anticipated. Weather fine.
Progress of Woman Suffrage. Wyo
ming Territory took the lead in allowing
female suffrage. Utah has followed Wyo
ming, but, we apprehend, from altogether
different motives. In Wyoming, woman
suffrage was yielded to chivalric senti
ments ; for where women are scarce,
without regard to quality, man is always
readiest to yield what tbey demand. In
Utah. Mormon policy is at the bottom of
the movement. The prophets, elders and
bishops rule their harems, and the harems
rule the rest ot the women. Given votes,
these Utah females can all be trusted to
throw them in favor of polygamy and the
.Mormon rulers. It therefore doubles the
power of the prophet, and puts off further
than ever the day when the Gentiles may
hope to be in the majority in that Territory.
Colorado failed to pass the bill, and in
Kansas it was defeated by the casting vote
of the Lieutenant Governor in the Senate.
Vermont will vote this year npon the prop
osition as an amend meat to the Constitu
tion, with the prospect of carrying it. The
Constitutional Convention in Illinois treats
the matter with silent contempt, and we do
not recollect any other State or Territory
wherein it is agitated with reasonable pros
pects ot success.

Cariboo. Although frost has set in, It
was not so severe as to stop work, and some
of the hydraulic claims had still been able
to wash. The Chipps Cq., on Williams
creek, had got out about forty ounces for
the week. On Antler creek two other
companies are looking for the old channel,
and seem to think Ihey have found it. On
the other creek much prospecting is being
done, with favorable indications. It was
supposed that the quartz claims would com
mence operations early, nnd good results
were looked for. Another creek, about
Gfty miles from Barkerville, has attracted
attention, and prospecting would commence
in the spring. About twenty boats were in
course of building at Quesenelle Mouth to
carry passengers and frieght to Peace river.
G. L. Wright intends to place the steamer
Enterprise above the canyon at the mouth
ot the Cottonwood river, and the Victoria
will ply in connection ; so that passengers
and freight would be carried to tbe mouth
of Stewart river on the steamboats. Busi
ness was quiet and provisions plenty and
cheap. All were anxiously awaiting the
advent of spring, as tbe great undertakings
in the Cariboo district were in a perfect
state of readiness for active operations, and
strong hopes of success are entertained.
Peace river, of course, will attract a large
number, but Cariboo still Occvpies a high
position in the estimation of many. Vic

built at Gardiner by Capt. Hann, for the
purpose of navigating the Umpqua river,

miles from Oakland, on Saturday, and is
expected to reach this place to-day or to

bo to prove that with some improvements

Mr. George Ruckle ana one ot his
neighbors lost a fine horse apiece last
August. James Love, one of the men who
was suspected with having stolen them, was
erresied at Baker City on 30th ult.. and
brought to Pendleton, where he was ex
amined before a committing magistrate.
Upon his examination he admitted his
cuilt and said that be and another man
stole tbe two animals, and that he sold the
one that had belonged to Mr. Ruckle to a
man at tbe Curlew Ranch, a short distance
this side of the railroad, lie was commit
ted for- trial at the next term of Circuit
Court. While this is the style in Umatilla
county, we have a more fastidous set of
thieves in Walla Walla. They do not like
to steal a horse here unless he has a saddle
on his back. On Tuesday last some, one
borrowed" Mr. Ritz's horse, saddle and
bridle, and has forgotten to return them.
Tbe horse was bitched to a post on one of
our public streets, and was taken early in
the evening. This is tbe second transaction
of this kind within the last two weeks.
Tragedy, at Ft. Ycma. A correspondent

one of th most desperate affrays that has
ever occurred in California.
On the night of tbe IStb inst. a micellane
ous crowd, coprising steamboat captains,
miners, clerks, gamblers and roughs, went
on a 'tear,' and were roaming the? streets
all night, indulging in the noisy and riotous
demonstration usual on such an occasion.
Towards daylight they visited a Mexican
house where a free fight ensued, in which
four men were killed outright and seven
wounded. Tbe scene in the morning is de
scribed as sickening in tbe extreme. Tbe

some shot through the body, others beaten
so as to be unrecognizable. But few of tho

The names of the two men killed were
Geo. Carr. and 'Gassy' Green. The other
two were Mexicans, whose names were not
ascertained. Green has long lived in Ari

More Gold Mixes. A friend has shown
us a copy of the San Diego BuVelin, sent
him by a party of miners, formerly of the
Burnt River District, and who are now at
the new diggings in San Diego county.
They write that the reports are certainly
true, and that more could be told than
would obtain credence. It is said that
there are about 150 men already at work
thirty miles from the: Bay, at a place just
across the Mexican line. San Francisco
papers are inclined to throw cold water on
anything tending lo develop their rival in
the southern part of the Sta'e. Tho Bidk
tin says :
" We have just learned that a man who
has been out on the prospect, returned lat-t
evening and exchanged five ounces of dust
for coin. He immediately procured a
miner's outfit and started out again, re
fusing to inform the anxious ones where
' he bad struck it.'
Mr. Hill struck a claim where he washed
out $2 from four buckets of dirt. The town
last night was in a high fever of excitement
in consequence of these facts, and the spec
ulative ones are beginning to leave for the
' diggings.' "
