The contract to Red Hirer hag been let, and by the 1st of Jnly, 2871, that portion of the road will be running. ' In the meantime, if we succeed in onr ' foreign negotiations, and in. making a home market for bonds, we expect .to commence the Western ends of the road, and to have the whole line completed wi'iuA four years. .The ability of the financiers who hare this great enterprise ia charge, is not to be questioned. That they will succeed in all their negotiations and have the road completed within the time men tioned there is little reason to doubt, and . when the road is a thing accomplished, o that we can start from the Colombia . river and go .to Lake Superior by rail, Oregon will begin a new life, and the Willamette valley, the garden Spot of the Pacific coast', will be appreciated in a degree we cannot at present realize.. We must labor and "wait a little longer" for the "good time coming." ' " ' Mock Midi o? Salem. Portland mti . and adjourned,'and met again to see if it was possible to raise patriotic enthusiasm enough in that mercenary town to cele brate the Ninety-fourth Anniversary of . American Independence. The thing was 'not to be done, and the effort proved, to be a lamentable failure. Therefore, the great metropolis of Oregon is not to eele-' ' brate, the truth being that the unfortunate place exhausted all its euergetic patriot- 'ism just" one year ago,' when George Francis Train shot tip like a rocket on its horizon, and being charteredor the occa sion, went hissing and eplutterfogthrough , a two hour's speech, most of which was about himself as a Fenian and possible candidate far the Presidency, well salted with abuse of Old England. Having over done itself then, and not having another charlatan at hand, Portland grudges itself the pleasure of a celebration. We should not find any matter for comment in tbis - failure If one of the Portland papers had not gone considerably out of its way to flay . that Salem had, also, declined to attempt a celebration, but wonld nave "cue of those mock celebrations which " of late years have been, frequently held nder, the' auspices of a fun -making crowds",,, It is trae that we are to hare a funny phase in our celebration, and no doubt the effort will be eminently success ful, but the assertion that we are not to have anything like fMgeneral celebra tion" is a great injustice, to Bay the least, considering that we hare sent to Portland for both fire-werks and Oratorr"-"- " i As to the Hornibasques," they repre sent the national tendency of humanity to be amused with caricature and - ridicule. It is the case la England and has been ever since the conquest, that holidays have been graced and enlivened by processions of masqued characters, whose aim wag to take off the features of th$ time and bur lesque its follies.. There has, fortunately, been little of ill will or envy displayed in these pungent drolleries and criticisms, ; and the' world has always been partial to thenj,"Yor there is scarcely a civilized land wuers they do not prevail. Salem is to have a mock celebration, true enough. and t will follow such an effort of a gen- nine and earnest order that will do honor to'onr city - . , . . . If the Ortgonian will adjonrn its publi cation a day or so, and all hands eome up and attend our celebration wewill forgive the insinuation made on Thursday. P. S. The Ortgoiuan of yesterday ig at hand and acknowledges its mistake --abeut our celebration, but as " what is writ ia writ," and.np in type, we let it go in, and hereby take back any part of it anybody thinks unnecessary . ' ; The CMnaiqan at tlie East. The effort to introduce John Chinaman int the boot and shoe business at Gran by, "ass., proved a failure. John arrived tlere in good order, and washed himself and '.took a rest preparatory to commenc ing labors, wLich were to dispossess the Sons of St. Crispin of their ancient and honorable profession, but the Sons rallied and vaised a row that was likely to ex tenru-ate John, and thongh he wag prom ised ample protection by the authorities, be seems tS have concluded that wisdom ,ir,tbe better part of valor, the wisest thi. bo he left, 4 This show that the constitu- tsc- cf Charles Sumner are not impassive observers only bat can be actively arq.ug- 1 to thick and act oa , the important 'a5C.

An Emancipated Slave's Gratitude. Gov. Alcorn of Mississippi recently ap pointed W. &. Henderson to a Judgship, and in sending his nomination to the Sen ate, said he selected 'him from several gentlemen equally well qualified, solely on account of the affecting letter which we print below., Tho Governer added that he could not refrain from saying, "on an occasion.so touching to every man in the South that there is an eleva ting 'sense of Hbe goodDld world when labor toijd for dotynot for meat,' is this spectacle jof an emancipated slave con senting to k sacrifice all other favorites for office in order to concentrate the infia. ence of his position as a worthy member of the Legislature to bestow honor oa his late "master." This is the letter : . IIOCSS OF RxPSSSSTTCVSj , ".. Jacksoh (Hit.), March 26, 1870. j -. To Hi Excellency Governor A. L. Alcorn Govkbhob ; I was a slave of W. G. Henderson. Boys together as we we e, he is the center of the tenderest associa tions of my life. Arrived at manhood's estate, I was still intimately connected with him in the relation of abody'serv ant. . When he was wounded atjjpp? ville, Tirginia, en route for Gettysburg, he languished in the valley of Virginia in the hands of the Federal authorities un: til it wag my privilege to take him away, secretly, through the lines to his own people. The affectionate relation of our childhood having ripened into a fixed friendship in our manhood, has been in vigorated still further by a mutuality of service and devotion which makes him dear to my ooul. My friend and loving master is a candidate for the office of Cir. cuit Judge of the First District. He is a man of unblemished honor, is a lawyer of high standing at the bar, and, having stood out boldly during the late canvass, is a- good Republican. . Now, Governor, I, by the mysterious providence of God, am a member of the Legislature ; I want do office, no honor, save that of standing here in my place as a duty to my race. But I believe my position gives me Bonis claim , npon the patronage yo'u are about to dispose of ; and I now place, without reservation,, all the credit of that claim to the account of my earnest prayer that you' appoint to the Judgship of the First District the playmate of my boyhood, the companion of my manhood, the generous friend of my whole lifa my former mas ter, Colonel Henderson-. Hoping you will grant tnis first and last prayer which I, as a member of this Houso of Represent atives, make to you as Governor of Miss issippi, I have the honor to be, your Ex cellency's very humble servant, . -.l''-ZJ.i. , AXBROSB KKSDIRSOlt. .. Thb Rise is- Wheat. Number two is the bulk of the wheat crop of the WesU em States. Lastf winter this quantity brought at Chicago 73 ceot3 per btiBhel. On the first of tbis month it wa np to 97 cents, and - since then it has touched $1 17 A , the highest figures being on the 10th inst. Since then wore fav oracle weather and better crop prospects .have reduced the market to about $1 10.'; The Chicago Tribune, a well posted journal, has the following remarks on the. cause of the late rise in the wheat market :' : " The cause of the sudden riBe lies In the discovery that Europe is threatened with a short yield in the wheat harvest of 1870, and that France, in particular, ia already in the. market of Liverpool and New York, buying up supplies to meet scarcity that has been expected. , It is stated that flour and wheat, equivalent to Cue and a tjalf million bushels of wheat, were purchased in New York on Wednes day on French account. It is also indi cated that, the receipts are falling off. There is, undoubtedly, plenty of grain remaining in the hands of first holders, but some of them seem disposed to hold longer, in the hope oi obtaining' still larger prices. The wisdom of this course is. at least, doubtful. The yield in the United States will be a fair one, and large stocks are yet on hand, nearly 2,000,000 bushels being in store in Chicago alone. while the speculative spirit is bo strong that it has put np the pride here to about ten cents per bushel above the price that can be obtained for it in New York, after paying for the cost -of transportation The European demand may continue for some time yet, but cad scarcely be so im perative when their own harvests are being gathered. . Jt is possible to wait for a market till the opportunity for selling at present prices has passed by." iMaryt- viue Appeal. Horacs Gribley. During the short bnt severe illness from which Greeley is happily recovering, there, was at one time a. a apprehension. . . his death, and, as ! might ba expected, the newspaper writers begat to prepare for getting up their obituary articles about him. at brief notice. I bad occasion to -see the begin ning of one of these eulogistic- articles. which, I am sure, would have satisfied and gratified Greeley. It opened' in the style of lofty-laudation, by referring to the universal grief of the American peo ple at the death of the "greatest of American reformers, political leaders, ed itors and philanthropists,'' and after brief allusion to . the trials and labors of the early years of his busy life, it passed rap- idly to the great fact of his career indica ted in the abolition of. slavery, the tri umph of liberty,1 and the establishment of , "All Rights for An" which was treated! of so eloquently that it almost' seems a misfortune the publication of the eulogy must be postponed. But . Greeley Is not yet a well man. '!- In fact, he la Bo terribly 'overworked ih his' profession and out of it, that if is almost impossible for him to enjoy good health at his pres ent time of lite. He ought to. ' follow the example of-another editor, politician and man of genius, William Cullen Bryant, who' is enjoying the peaceful repose and happiness which is the proper reward of those who have done their ' life's work honorably, and performed their life's mis-, sion' successfully.

The parties who are prospecting for coal, just over the river, in Polk, have struck a deposit of yellow ochre, which E. D. Bloat, the painter, pronounces a good articled A RtJSAWAT. Yesterday a team, appa rently from the country, took fright at Cook, Smith & Co.'s factory, and started from there np past the Avenuv, scattering pieces of the wngoa, which went to pieces very conveniently, along the road. We do not learn of any tenons damage. ,That Gallows. It is some time since onr city has been disgraced by the erec tion of a gallows. The melancholly sight is again to be seen on the corner of State and Liberty streets, where the officers of the higher law have made preparations for' the closing scene in the life of the man who struck Billy Patterson. Tub COSOBBGATIONAI. SOCIABLB last evening was as pleasant and financially successful asAisual. Theattenaance was large, and all seemed to enjoy themselves. The proceeds must have realized some thing considerable towards completing the payment on the late improvements in that church. Rivbb Nbws. The river is going down again, 'fell a foot or more yesterday. Lumber and woodmen are bringing down their rafts and scows as fast as pos sible'. Several rafts have come down the last few days. One broke yesterday and lost. 18 lugs, having run a bar. Two scow loads 'of ash wood came down yes terday. ; ' Albany F'iBSMiy. We learn from Mr. Gird that the Albany fire company, who have, been invited by the Department of this city to be theirguests on the Fourth of July, have telegraphed their acceptance of the invitation, which w are glad to hear cf as a token of the amenities that should be exercised in that Department, and as adding interest to, our celebration, on general principles. Masokio. Kegnlar convocation of Mult nomah Chapter No. 1 of R. A. Masons, this evening, July 2d, at 7 o'clock sharp. Business of importance wilt come before the P.M. Lodge. By order of the H. P.

Patton, D.G.M., will be present and officiate. .This is the new lodge lately chartered by the Grand Lodge for this city.; , Hearth a 'Hons for this week, (dated June 25th,) contains the first of a series of sketches entitled "Jethro Troop's Night Thoughts," by John Thomas, .who is no other than Petroleum V. fnasby. The great humorist will take an honest country boy to "the city, 'conduct hira through the usual experience, and restore him to bis home a sadder and wiser boy, satisfied that the peaceful, honest, j and temperate life of the farmer is the best and safest life that Can be lived. This is a lesson greatly'heeded at this time, and Nasby is the man to teach it. V Speculation Stopfkd J. F.

The advertise ment of this splendid company, spoken of so highly by the papers south of here, wilt btr found in our paper this morning.' The tollowiogj from ,a French paper iu San Francisco, : expresses the general opinion, concerning the Nelson Brothers: California Theatre. The performances of -the.Nelson Brothers elicited the "great-, est enthusiasm last evening. Upon no occasion aioce the opening of the theatre has there been beard such a burst of ap plause; it . made the very walls treiftble:, and at the conclusion of their entertain ment tbe cheers must have been necrd ua far down, as Kearny street. 0Hta and, bandkerchiefa were waved and the great-, est excitement prevailed nntsl tb broth ers came forward t make .their-bow, I which they did in hnmole acknowledg ment of tbe 'honors bestowed on them; and, indeed, it was no more than their merit deserved, for . they are, by far, the best and quickest acrobats that have ever appeared on this side of the continent. They are : a host in themselves, and all should see them, as their stay will be short, ia consequence of their organizing a circus company to travel this season, ' by which means our country friends will have an opportunity of seeing their wonderful activity and manly agilitys ,'- , TUESDAY. '.. ':u Capt. Scott advertises that he has re ceived a large lot of sugars, and made especial preparation for those who are in tending to put up fruit. Thb Fireworks went off with the nsual splendor and attracted a very large crowd as usual. We went to press too early to witness much of the display. Prisoners. Sheriff Zieber of Portland came np last evening with two prisoners for the State Penitentiary Joseph W. Campbell, of Columbia county, who shot Mills, gets two years for intent to kill; and Wm. Spence, sentenced for one and a half years lor robbery. ; . To Cohtkst. We are informed that Mr. Dearborn has announced his intention- to contest i the election of Mr. Dunbar to the Legislature, on the ground that the latter is not a resident of this county. Sir. Dunbar is a bona fide resi dent, but we don't see bow that can affect the interests of Mr. Dearbbrn, whose great minority, at the late election, should render him entirely willing to lay low and keep quiet. , , Solitabt u a Crowd. Yesterday two pensive looking young people from the country, a gentleman and lady, were sit ting side by side in Marion Square, dar ing the celebration exercises, and a by stander overheard the following : Said he, "Mary, I feel more lonesome here in this crowd, than I would all alone with you somewhere "else." Said she, "Do you ?" Said ' he, j"I do." Them there was silence a moment, and she quietly said, "I believe I feel bo, too." ' Bartholomew's Cikccs" performed last night to a 'very good house. Everybody seemed delighted with the miniature order of animals and performers. The Lilipu tiad horses, wonderful children, educated goats and other trained animals, compose oae of tan most interesting shows ever brought to this place. The whole per formance is calculated to interest both young and old, and must be seen to be appreciated. To accommodate those of , our citizens .who could not attend last night, Mr J Bartholomew will remain and give another performance to-night, reduc ing the price of admission to 50 cents for grown persons and 25 cents for children, at which rates he should have a full house. Performance" commences at S o'clock, p.! m. j " Accidents. Yesterday afternoon there were a variety of incidents and accidents, one of the latter being a runaway of a carriage containing Mrs. Watkinds, her two sisters and several children." The horses came loose from the carriage op posite this office, and tio tongue ran against the sidewalk with such force as to throw but the young ladies on the fpre : seat, one of whom had a wrist dislocated , while the other escaped with some braises . around the face and head Tbe horses ran down into tbe mill pond, oadly fright ened, and the carriage, a new one, -was ' pretty much stove up. An overturn hap pened near Gray'4 corner, caused a .col-' lision with anotbersVehicle, no particular ' damage being done, save some slight hurts to a little girl of Mr. H. McCully's J Another . buggy was seen up Bide - down ' near, tbe Opera House, with one of the horses attached to it thrown down, but we learn that no one was hart, and no especial damage done. " . Tbe . Cerebration. ; ;-3 ' Yesterday was so excessively warm that celebrating to any great extent was decid edly laborious, and it seems strange that so many persons could be got to forsake the. shade of home to venture into the lit erally broiling streets. But the' turn-out was large as usual, and the day of cele bration proceeded through to the close in the most satisfactory manner.

His remarks were no-doubt better recei ved on account of having been delivered extempore, and with remarkable fluency nd ease. As to the" subjfltt of the address, it partook of the character of tbe day, and was suited thereto, bnt the subject was handled in an original and effective style, that worked npoo-the ieeliags of many of tbe auditors. The music of the Band, and the Bingicg by the &Vra Musical Union, did much to render tl?e exercises attractive and to en tertain the vast audience. Refreshments . were provided . on the grounds, but mo pnblic dinner wag set for the multitude. .The ladies of this Chil eren's Aid Society made ready sale of their ice cream, Ie.ubnade, and other eat able,!, and (he usual amount of victual was sold ia neighboric booths. , , Tbs Flrenten. , ' The Fire Department of Salera devoted the day to entertaining their guests from Albany, and from the reports we have cf the way the time passed, the effort seems to have been a very successful one. A handsome and. abundant collatidn was provided at the Fire Department Hall, Jo which the companies adjourned after hav ing gone through the. regular programme of the procession. Here they f e&aed nd enjoyed ail the pleasures of good fellow ship. The Albany . Company having seen our city, taken part in our cele bration, and tried the full effect of our July sun, were safely on board the Bteam er again-ai evening, bound home. Tux Horkibusquis. This body of fel low citizens' made its appearance during the bottesfp&rt of the afternoon, and in greater numbers than we remember to ever have seen before, 'they were ele gantly, dressed and rode magnificent horses, splendidly caparisoned, tbe whole turn-out was in tnoir "yntique Btyle, and the performance might have-passed for high comeoy, only for the high tragedy which was enacted by them in the 'eourse of tbe afternoon. The announcement that they bad caught the nnhappy man who struck Billy Patterson, and would publicly execute him, attracted an immense crowd, for hanging is a popular amusement in America. The ooly failure in the programme of the Plug Ugly's oc curred at this point, for When the man was hung by the neck until be was dead, they discovered a horrible mistake. Ho had been hung in his mask, which, being removed, it was discovered to.be Billy Patterson himself who bad. been hung, and the wretch who has been striking hira for several generations back has again eseaped the retribution due him. The Plug Uglies may be liable to criti cism, but certainly they were a success. Excessive Hiat. Yesterday the ther mometer stood at 100' degrees in the shade on the north side of Dr.McCordy's house. Sunday it stood at 102 degrees in the same exposure. This may be called extreme heat . in any country In New York, with Buch a temperature, the pa pers recite many cases of sunstroke, but that is something scarce ever heard of here. Sunday, when the heat was greau est, the north wind, or the sea breeze Was was blowing very fresh. There was very little breeze yesterday, and tha heat Was not so great, but much more oppressive. i rV' : ' ' Circnlt Court Marion County. July 2, 1870. '' State of Oregon Vs. John B. Cyr.

The other .day, ia Paris, a lady returned from , a promenade at dinner time to her house. She went t the kitchen to see if everything was ail right there, and as the inspection there did not have the wished for resnlt, eha sent Justine, her servant girl to buy some provisions. Suddenly the door bell was rneg, and when the lady opened the door, a man rushed in and menacingly brandished a knife,' uttering the wordj, "Your plate or your life 1" Perfectly dumfounded, the frightened lady pointed to a large clothes press Standing in the kitchen; perhaps ber intention was only to paia time, for the plate was not there at all. Tbe rob' ber: hastened to the clothes prt&s and opened it; but to hi3 terror, and to the great surprise of the lady, there stepped Irom it a tall grenadier, who disarmed the robber and took hini to the Station house; previously, saying to , the , lady, f 'Excuse me, madame, I was waiting there for Justine."

An Oma ha lecturer , thus discussed the question tbe other night: - - .. . :.' .Twenty years ego the iaqies were their own dressmakers, and how beautiful, they looked to' the brave men. who courted them'. ! A' lover' could then tell whether bis love weighed one hundred and eighty or seventy-five pounds; and eould see at a -glaose what the. was. , But now; they could not te.lt whether the girl was made by the dress naaker, or by God. They looked her over and were not' sure that she were not: half cotton; touched her head and didn't know whether they felt nature's hair, or a , musty ,; waterfall.

A 3 recent work of science gives the following novel experiment, which, settles a question of some: importance ia philosophy., Two hundred pounds weight of earth was dried in an oven, and . afterwards put into' na earthen vessel., uThe earth was then moistened with rain water, and a willow tree, weighing five pounds, was placed therein... , Daring five years the earth was watered with rain or pure water ; the wil low grew and flourished, and to prevent mixing with fresh eata or dust from any source, it was covered with a metal plate, numerously perforated to admit air only. After growing in the air for five years, the tree was removed, and found to weigh 169 pounds plds, and tbe earth in the ves sel being .removed, dried , and: weighed, Was found tOjbave, lost; only, aboutj two. Ounces of its original weight. Thus, 164 pounds of ' woody fibre bark and roots', were certainly produced but from what Source, unless from air? Ohio Furmtr.. ' -,,.' ;- i. " . r Booth wipt. fob.
