W t mTt ftt beard of ths lane 'jslota Vho ekprtt4 the opinion that iVatliads would receive any punish ment for Bra icowardly sn4 murderous Ua'cfc on the editor of this paper, nd Mr. Clarke (bared the general eipecta tioo. Tbe result diaappoinu no one, for tbe cowardly Assassin kept for tbe uses of tbe Salrm Ring, and wbo did in bidding on tbe 14th of Jane, aa be baa done it before goes .".whipped of justice, and not only to but is enti tled to promotion at tbe hands of bis distinguished patron 4. From tbe bonr when Warklnds did bit beat to kill Mr. Clarke U tbe ageoU and inflarneet of the Ytbg bare been engaged menipwIaXftrg Iba eaae and a needing ejonry -Where It could be nted to advantage. Tbe 'first day they cent for the Prfcfeclitiog Attorney, young man trot over blessed with mind, wbo litei In Pbrtc county; and Oorernor Ororer and 'John F, Miller were closet ed with him three bourf. The Grand 3ury obeyed instructions, at Jodie Thayer kindly informed oa, and brought an iodictmect simply lor "aaaault with a dangerooi weapon," when tbe evi deoce was positive and conclusive that baring attacked Mr. Clarke from am bush and been successfully resisted, be drew a revolver and after resistance had ceased fired four balls at bim, one of . which struck bim in tbe back causing injury to the spine that results in par. aly sis, which exists at the present time. It is only doe to tbe providential fact that the ballet was deadened by grss iog tbe edge of a roll of oil cloth, that it did not instantly kill its victim. With these facta manifested, and the bole made by the ballet visible in Mr. Clarke's clothing, under tbe process of manipulation referred to, the Grand Jury could not find a bill for assault with intent to kill, though we have reason to believe that a majority of them wished to do so. On this indictment Watkinds was yesterday arraigned, and with tbe ssme cowardly instinct that led him to try to be an assassin be plead "guilty" and was let off with a fine of $200; which is more than we expected as it is not tbe lowest sum named in tbe Statute. The Judge bad tbe courtesy to have Mr. Clarke sent for and beard bis ac acount of the affray in tbe blandest and pleasantest manner. He owned that the Grand Jury had acted nnder bis in structions, reviewed their account of the testimony, by whieb it was shown that when Watkinds, who weighs near ly 200 pounds, jumped on Clarke, who weighs, when in winter clothes, 123 pouods, be was Immediately disarmed and thrown on tbe defensive, when be drew his pistol and began to sboot af ter the other straggle bad entirely ceased. As near as we could make out by tbe Judge's story, Clarke and bis pocket knife drove Watkinds and bis rawhide and revolver out into tbe street, which is so satisfactory to as as a ju dicial decision of the matter that we beg to be ezcosed for patting it on record. His Honor proceeded to sen tence Watkinds with the utmost gen tleness. He complimented bim on having always been industrious, spent some mioutes in landing bis regard for county finances, manifested by the plea of guilty, when otherwise tbe trial would have lasted for days and at the cost of hundreds of dollars for tbe county This tbe Court dwelt npon as an extenuating circumstance, and used it as socb to place his fine at tbe small figure of two bnndred dollars. To soften tbe infliction, however, and give tbe unhappy convict as nearly that monry's worth as possible, tbe Judge threw iu some stern remarks about the scurrility of the press, the; general ten or of which went to show that editors are more to blame than assassins. So tbe farce ended, though the faces of many in tbe Court room showed in dignation that could not be spoken. We have tbe rest of a lifetime after to dsy to do justice to the subject, and ' we shail sedaloasly and fearlessly treat of it as it deserves. Tbe balance of tbis article we de vote to tbe earlier stages of tbe game. ' We assert here that this cowardly attack of Watkinds , on Clarke was planned beforehand, and that he iJ the act under instruction!. He told Asbel Bush afterwards that if It had not been for bim be wosld not have doae It, or words to that effect, we near also that he hat acknowledged that be was "a d d fool to allow any one to influ enre bim to do inch a thing." We leave it for tbe Governor to explain bow It happened that Watkindt went from bis office to undertake tbe job, and why tbe private Secretary of tbe Kiecutive walked with bim from the office to the spot. We also know that an instrument of the riotf, though by no means a dangerous one, wss aronnd predicting while Watkinds was waiting patiently bit time, that Clarke wa about to get his desserts, or words to that effect. It It also a singular coin cidence that the ambush wat placed in front of tbe bank windows, and a choice few, iaclading Upton, of the Mercury, taw It from that convenient toot. These things we believe to be all as suggested,' for tbe proof seemt conclusive. We have tome satisfaction in knowing that tbit infamy wat de feated, even If there wat no jottice to be procured to punish it. W submit this to. the pablie as statement of facta we believe to be true and reliable. Justice has been made a - mockery.; Tba assassin of the lnfa moat Salem Ring pays a trifling fine for an attempt to murder, and they chuckle over their success, but it lay with tbe people to right tbit wrong in due teason. A Coal Pit o Fma fob a Hcmored Years. One of tbe most eurioas phenom ena in connection with coal mining is ex hibited at the Bank Colliery, near Bother haw. 'the property' of Earl. Fitxwilliam, Tbis nit eancht fire eat hundred years ago, and all tbe efforts of the workman at tbe time, and subsequently, have been quite in effectual to extinguish it. A hurt time ago, it was discovered that tbe flames were approaching the bottom of the shaft, and it - was then resolved, if possible, to stay their progress, so inn tney nvi uicua iu other parts of the workings. At length the superintendent of the collieries, Mr. T. Cooper, eonceivod tbe idea of building a wall to chut in the fire, and in order to as certain tbe bast site for tbis wall, several of the officials erept n their hands and knees, through the dense, stifliu , smoke, ss far as possitilo into the workings. Their. efforts were successful, sn-l a w U is now eonipk-.tcd one thousand yards in U-n.'th, and varyiu from nine inches to five feet in thickness. At distances varying from thirtj to fifty yard, metal pipes have been insertei in tbis wall, which are securely plugged at the end, so that at any time, by removing toe. plugs, the state of the air on the side of the lire, and even the position of tho fire itself. can be ascertained. So intense is the heat arising from this fire, that people possessing gardens above tbe colliery declare that tbe growth of pleats is materially affected, and that they are enabled to o&tain two and tbreo crops every year.

The following wes received at tbe Navy Department this afternoon : Corea, May 23. To the Secretary of the Navy: The Corcans not apologising for their treacherous attack on the 10th, we landed on Kang Dock and destroyed the lower fort and munitions. On the 1 1 to we took another fort and then stormed and captured the stronghold. Five forts have been taken. Tho troops which defended them are reportbed as numbering 11,000.' There was desperate hand to band fiighting in the citadel. The ordnonce destroyed was 481 pieces, several small brass pieces and very many small arms. Fifty flags were taken. We counted 243 dead Coreans around the citadel. We had three killed.

Notwithstand ing the opinion of physicians, precedents, established rules of surgery and general expectation, Wicmer, who was shot through the bowels by Farren on Sunday last, per sists in living, and is reported really better to-day. Tbe weather continues hot and dry. The effort to create sympathy for Mrs. Fais by representing her in a critical con dition, is being made. Officers who see her daily say her health is as good now as at any former time for years, and no visible change in her condition has taken place. She receives much more attention than or dinary criminals, and is as comfortably sit uated as it is possible for a prisoner to be. The stock market continues pnnicky, and the onward tendency is unchecked. Magazines. Jlarper't for July bat arrived fresh and interesting as usual. Its leading article is an illustrated description of tbe wonderful Moot Cenit Tunnel, through tbe Alps, which separate France and Italy. Tbe description and illustrations of Anapolis Naval School will interest every one. Along tbe Florida Reef closes tbe aeries of those sketches ; Tbe Recovery of Jeru salem shows what discoveries are be ing made of tbe old city. Tbe illus trated poem about tbe " old flag," is excellent. It is a good number, witb plenty of interesting reading. Seribner't it also received, its illus trated articles relate to Philadelphia, tcenet in Japan and a Fourth of July ttory, entitled tbe " Gunpowder Plot." The usual variety cf reading is in creased by an article by Horace Bush nell on " Free Trade and Protection," being the argument of an old protec tionist, in favor cf free trade " wbeo policabie," and endeavoring to show wbeo both protection and free trade are applicable and can be used. Tbe Overland Monthly for July com mences tbe fsorih year of its success ful publication.

Tbe July Dumber it good and as it commences a new year will be a good one to subscribe on. Gxt La atheb Bits. Among tbe rrulest things done to horses is putting bard froieo iron bits into tbeir months. It is not only painful but a dangerous act. For every time livit.g flesh touches a metal much below tbe frees. iog point, tbe latter extracts tbe heat from tbe former and freezes it. Thus a horse's mouth becomes frozen by tbe cold iron every time tt is put into it, each time causing tnese freeiing to go deeper and deeper, to end at last in extensive ulceration. Witb such a tore mouth tbe poor horse refuses to eat and pines away, which- calls tbe borse doctor in. Tbey call it bots, glanders, horse-ail, etc , and go to cramming down poisonous drugt in dosrt : snd tbe next yon know of tbe poor, abused creature, be is trotted off to be food for the crows. Mny val nable horse has been " mysteriously" lost in juat that way. Thinking and humane people avoid tbit by Gist warn ing tbe bits, but tbis is much trouble. and sometimes impossible as in nigbt work, like lUging and pbystrians work. Now all this trouble and loss are entirely avoided, as we bave lou id , on large trial, by getting the barnett makers to get leather bits for winter use, so made that the metal substance eaoa not touch tbe flesh. Tbey are da-able, aod cost only half a dollar. We would not exebaoge ours fur a gold one, if it couldn't be replaced. Den t fail to try it. Rural World. Tbe thermometer, at 1 o'clock yesterday, stood at 89. City and County items. Chuckliso Over it. One of the pet in struments of the Watkinds gang was chuck ling over the success with which the pro gramme had been carried out, and especial ly over tbe fact that Mr. Clarke fainted while in the Court room. This was a great satisfaction, it seems. Since the affray Mr. C. has become partially paralysed from the injury to bis spine, and his whole nervous and muscular system is prostrated, and that too, against repeated efforts on his part to keep about. Any effort of miud, like the act of giving testimony, brings on fainting spells, and these happen every day at home. Ho is under medical treatment, but went to the Court room when a carriage was sent, as the Court seemed to think his presence necessary to the eulogy he had concocted for Watkinds. Those who are chuckling over these facts are respectfully informed that Mr. Claras intends to recover, and that speedily, and make it hot for them until their cowaradly careers appropriately wind np in a hotter climate than the columns of tbe Statf.sxam care to talk about. Tns Masosic Temple. The corner stone of the Moxunio Temple, to be built at Port land, was laid Thursday, and the ceremony is said to have been one of the most impos ing pageants ever witnessed in that eity. The members of the Fraternity of that city turned out in force assisted by a large num ber of visitors from abroad. The list of ar icles deposited in tbe cavity, occupies nearly a column of the daily papers. Tbe address of the occasion, was delivered by Past Grand Master, El wood Evans, of Washington Territory. Tbe speaker gave the early history of the Portland, and al luded with telling effect to tbe fact that the first Lodge in the State occupied the precise locality where the magnificent Temple was being built. The upper room, where they met in 1850, was partitioned off with an old sail, and was rudely furnished. Mr. Evans' speech is highly spoken of by those of the Salem delegates we have met. Tbe occasion was one ot the greatest interest, and the Masonic pageant of Thursday shows the great increase and prosperity of the Order since tbe early days. State Horticultural Fair. We learn from tbe Portland papers and from Dr. Belt, who was present, tbatthe Horticultural Fair which opened the other evening at Armory Hall, was quite a success. The interior was covered with wreaths of native and tropical flowers. Hanging caskets de pended gracefully from the cdiling, and rustic bowers were covered with vines. Three sides of the hall were covered with flowers, and the show of early fruits was good, especially of cherries and strawber ries. Mrs. Nat Lane was the largest ex hibitor of flowers, and her geraniums and fuschins were much admired. Other ladies made excellent shows of flowers and tbe Fair seems to have been a success and will no doubt be well mained in the future. Ocr Fathers' House. Some weeks ago (t noticed the elegant volume with this ' ile for which Miss Lewis was oanvassing. She has laid a copy on ourtubleand we have to record our admiration of the volume and its contents. It is likely that many more subscribers can be obtained with the volume in band. Miss Lewis will come before our readers as Mrs. Lewis Shelby, having met her fate since here before. Messrs. Murphy A Croasman are Ftill holding forth at their old stand on State street, where they are to lie seen at any hour of the day, politely waiting on thier many customers. Cox A Earhart bave received a new sup ply of maple sugar, fresh from the Eat, and a large assorment of family groceries. Water Works. This establishment is progressing finely and will soon be in run ning order, when we will hare an abund ance of fresh water. rSUM)AY. To L. F. Grover. In the spring of 1870 you and your friends started a campaign paper here which in tbe depth ot its infamy aod the meanness of its lying malice must have equsled your expectations for it exceeded anything ever known in Or egon politics Uelore. To conduct such an Organ you bad to have a tool not only shameless enough to slander aod defame but brute enough to glory in it and bully enough to defend it. Such a man you (we mean your ring) found in W. II Watkinds, and though you personally were weak enough to de clare to us tbat you did not endorse tbis course aod did not want to be beld responsible for it, you gave the lie to your professions, you directly assumed and endorsed bis acts, improving the first moments of official power to p point bim to one of the most import ant positions in the State. Tbere was a record made tbat caonot be wiped out or forgotten, and you stand charged witb indorsing tbe campaign Pret, for you promoted witb your official patron, age, its manager, and so showed entire satisfaction at Vis course. Tbe other day this man made a cowardly attack from ambush on the writer of tbis. He sprang ou and beat bim from behind, and being disappointed in driving bim through the streets before a cowhide, he drew a revolver and attempted to shoot do n bis victim. He followed np tbis business by firing at him "after be had entered a store for protection and to far as it was possible, be per petrated a murder which only a merci ful providence averted. It is true that yon (meaning again tbe ring) had pos session or the courts, and bave success fully manipulated what tbe public, ir respective of party, looks npon at au atrocious crime, so that instead of fill ing bis rightful place among tbe coo victf, yoor agent and hired assasslo Superintends tbe State prison he should in justice enter as a convict. By your support and confidence in this man, manilested in maintaining him in office of trust and importance it cannot be one of honor while be fills it yon again endorse bim and make bit acts your own. We propose to do yon justice aod make no accusation or charge tbat it unwarranted. We never stooped to slander or misrepresent you and never will. We never hesitated to make ev ery point against yon as a publio man tbat was possible and shall probably continue to do so; but we are hardly williog yet to believe tbat you bounded on this assassin and deliberately in tended to make his acts your own. Tbere are.but'two courses open to you: Either this man did a good deed and deserves promotion, or else be bas done a damning one and is unfit to bold tbe position be fi Is. Either pro mote hm or dismiss bim, there is no other course left for you. Tbe con -sciences of Democrats are not so seared that tbey cannot tee the farce made of justice in tbis thing, and we claim ia bis matter tbe sympathy of every hon est man irrespective of party prejudice?, and we are pleased to receive frequent assurances that it is accorded to nt. Dspartkd. Tbe Eugene rawrra (Dein.) criticises one of tbe " villainy accepters" of its party in tbit original style : The editor of tbe Salem Mercury was attacked so suddenly and to violently witb tba nigger epidemic, known at tbe "new departure," tbat ha hadn't time to turn around, but, donkey -like, backed char into tbe mongrel party, till there is nothing visible of bim but a puir of monstrous eara sticking out of the hole he backed out at. - ReTclatlon- The idea of an infinitely perfect Being, is naturally implaoted in tbe mind of man. Tbit idea would be without 'urpose or satisfaction, if it were impossible for man to know God. Every one bat some thoughts of his own about God, or tome way oi reconciling himself to the Divine idea which be finds in bis breast. But as water cannot rise above its level, to no man by hit own powers can comprehend God. Our nature demands and our reason requires tbat God should make a revelation of Himself. He does in deed reveal His wisdom and power in Creation ; and His gordness in Provi dence, but tbere are perplexities aod apparent contradictions in these revela lions. Tbey do not supply us with confidence, which is our great need; tbey give no promise of eternal joy, wbicb it our great desire. Tbe reve lation we need is not of the divioe at tributes but of tbe Divine Person. Just snrh a revelation we bave tbe history of in tbe Bible. It was made in tbe person of Jesna Christ, in whom "God was manifest in tbe flesh." In Him, therefore, every man may dr. w nigh to God and find bis own perfec tion. "We are complete in Him " So in fact it bas been proved for cen turies. Every one wbo bas received Christ at God and diligently lived so as to please and honor Him, has found satisfaction. Tbose wbo bave rejected Christ, bave never found any other personal mvnifestation of God. Tbey have tried many and various ways to account for tbeir being aod destiny in vain. Tbey cannot agree upon any one thing or prseo,and in tbeir wear inert often deny the idea of God, pro fessing to believe that, like tbe beasts about them, they are perfect, if the eat, drink, work and sleep till they die. Such a view of human life gives it no dignity;, its course has no worthy rati isfaction and its end is without bepe. But tbe revelation of God in Jesus Christ, tuppliet us with means for building npon Him. It provides for our nnion with Him, who bas power over all things, and who hat conquered death. In teeking to please Him we have a powerful motive to kindness and patience when rrost afflicted and tempted. He is sufficient for life and death. The incomparable claims of Chris tianity, bave drawn the civilized world to acknowledge its Author; but it has not escaped the abuse to which ever) good thing on earth is exposed. It is greatly counterfeited and caricatured. Formality, hypocrisy and selfisbuess, work under the Christian name. We must take care not to judge of Christ, from tbe examples of all wbo call themselves Christians. The revela tion of God is in Cbiist personally, whose life and precepts are recorded and preserved for our instruction aod imitation. We accept tbis revelation because we are insufficient without it. We can trust other men so further than ourselves and we are not asked to love them more. Whatever makes known tbe King dom and person of Jerns Christ is truly precious to man. Tbe means by wbicb we remember and serve Him, are the means of satisfaction and perfection To acknowledge Him opeuly as Lord aod to serve Him faithfully at all times, is tbe way to obtain tbat peace which no earthly loss or reproach can de stroy. He never forsakes His faithful servants, and when He appears again according to His sure promise, He will personally honor, before the as sembled world, all tbose, however humble among men, wbo were not ashamed of His precepts and Service when tbe world despised them. Chas. R. Bunnell. Willamette Valley. The Corvallis Gazette informs us that the year of tbe Corvallis College closed last Tbur.diy. Tbe institution is deservedly popular and tbe commencement exercises were of a g od order of talent. The Monroe and Corvallis camp meeting was in successful operation, a number of persons having then professed religion. Corvallis intends to celebrate the 4th and a large turnout is expected. Tbe Albany Beytittr says Mr. Luther Elkins is successful in procuring subscrip tions to the Santiam Ditch and Canal pro ject. A Methodist camp meeting is being beld at Roberts' Bridge. Henry Merrill nearly lost his right foot by being crashed between logs when his raft piled on a snag. The Herinter says the late sowed grain needs rain or will be a failure, in many parts of Linn county. Other grain prom ises a reasonable crop. Orchards do not promise very full yields. Jerry Driggs has gone prospecting in the Santiam mining region. He has done much of that during years past and still has abundant faith that rich mines exist there. Mr. Thos. Smith, son of Capt. John Smith, of Warm Springs Reservation, has returned home after making a visit to the Eastern States.

A Singular ano Sad Storv. We learn the following singular eircumstances at tending the jonrncy from the East of Mrs. Waldo Smith, who has not yet arrived : A few days ago Mayor Smith received a tele gram tbat she was unwell at Ogden, or some point on the C. P. Road, and hastened to meet her. The circumstances seem to be fiat she induced her parents to come to this coa?t, and they sold out sme property and started with ber, the surplus means needed for the journey being in the possession of Mrs. Smith, who had $7a0 sewed up in her clothing. Soon alter they started, when near Syracuse, in New York State, a man introduced himself as having been well ac quainted with Mr. Smith here in Salem. Another chaiocter appeared in the scene, an I a rcgnlar confidence game was played, with, it is supposed, chloroform, as an as si&tant.and getting possession of the money on some pretense, the scoundrels ran off with it. She kept on homeward, however, taking second class passage to Ogdon, where she seems io have been friendless and alone, with two aged persons to eare for. Her mind become fearfully affected, bnt by wonderful good fortune Mr. Warner Brey man and E. M. Waite and their wives met her there and she rami with tliem throngh to San Francisoo where Mr. Smith met her, having been sent for. We may not have the incidents entirely correct, but tbe facts are so interesting to the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, that we gratify the general sympathy by makin? tbem public. if Perhaps there are me of onr readers who bave not notieed the mention made in our columns, of the invitation extended to Multnomah Engine Company, No. 2, and accepted by them, to attend the cetebration O'l the coming Fourth, and give those who have never seen a steam engine work, a chance to do so. It is an improvement on the old way, as will be seen in tbe evening, when they with the Salem Department will try the capacity of tbeir several machines.

Wbeo the great inventor was in Wash ington, employing all bis energies to obtain an appropriation from tbe Gov ernment to erect a line from Baltimore to Washington, he bad his instruments at each end of the Capitol to demon strate to tbe membors of Congress tbe. feasibility of tbe plan. He says : "I talked to tbem, explained the working of tbe instrument bour after hour. I gaineii many adherents ; still incredu lous, and many even scouted at tbe idea as preposterous, and pronouoced my instrument as the toy of a cracked brained enthusiast. It was toward tbe close of tbe sessioo, and there were ttill about two or three hundred bills yet to be passed bef ire tbey came to mine. It was late at nigbt, and finally I gave np io absolute despair, and left the Capitol building witb a aad heart. I was bankrupt, baring expended all iht I had on my discovery. I walked down tbe Capitol steps witb exactly fifty cents, all I bad in the world, aod a more disconsolate individual it would bave been hard to fini. After a wake ful n:gbt, I rose io the morning, to find my bill passed and a new era in the history of science commenced."
