(S) Jrsr' -m .-mn&rvX?-' ' to Sailg Qslzxinn. ASTORIA. OREGON: D. C. IRELAND Editor. THURSDAY. Nov. 15, 1877 Reception to Colonel Miller. A large number of the leading citi zens of Astoria last evening tendered Col. M. F. Miller, of the 4th artil lery, a reception at the Occident hotel m this city, as an evidence of appre ciation of his services as an officer in the campaign against the Indian Jo seph, and the hostile savages in Idaho and Montana, and as a testimonial of the respect in which Col. Miller is held by his fellow citizens of Clatsop county. It is not often that people assemble on occasions of this kind with more sincerity than the people of Astoria were assembled last evening. It is very rare that the recipient of such evidences of public appreciation are more deserving. But few men in the army of the United States have earned a more meritorious record than Col. L P. Miller. The lot of a soldier, bearing arms in the defense of his country is at best a severe one, but when we follow Col. Miller and his gallant commander Gen. Howard, and the brave boys forming the rank and file through an inhospitable mountain region, such as they have passed over, with the obstacles placed in their way for want of proper equipments, for want of funds not appropriated by Congress, and consider the enemy they have had to contend with, then glance at the achievements accomplished, as in the case of this march after a sav age and hostile foe, history fails to produce a parallel, and the welcome tendered to the principals, not forget ting the subordinates, is due to them from an appreciative people. We have not the time to take up the causes which lead to the outbreak which called Col. Miller from his quiet home to the battle-field in those mountain gorges, nor to follow up in detail the blood-stained engagements, forced marches, and unprecedented privations which they were compelled to accept, but it is sufficient to say that the object sought to be attained was finally accomplished in spite of all obstacles, and the heroes of this march, which must, in future, outshine the famous march through Georgia, have returned to their homes and have been warmly received by their friends who never forgot them during all their te dious trials. It is true that many a brave soldier who formed that rank and file, together with many officers of distinction, have not returned, but sleep the sleep that knows no waking, having succumbed to the enemy and gone to "the undis covered country from whose bourne no traveler returns." Col. Miller's company was the only one that suffered material loss, of all those who went from tbis immediate vicinity, and this was in that ever memorable engage ment, the battle of Clearwater, July 11, 1877, in which private Montando was killed, and four others, sergeant Peter Bloomberg, corporals Eugene McPhilmore and Thomas Burns and private George Graham were wound ed. As Gen. Howard stated at the time of liis reception in Portland, a few evenings since: "Our successful battle of the Clearwater, July 11th and 12th drove the hostile NezPcrces out 'of Idaho. It did much more; it quieted the restless among the Cay nses, the Columbia renegades, the Spokanes, the Ccenr d'Alenes, San Poels and others, and forced the ad mission, heretofore denied and too often scouted by Indians, of a "United States jurisdiction." Yet the result was dearly purchased. It was not alone at the battle of the Clearwater that Col. Miller earned distinction. At all times, calmly, coolly self-nossessed, he was one of those' relied upon when reliance was a possession to be prized in any man, and hence it is that we refer with 'pleasure to this well-merited tribute paictfto him last .evening at the Occf enthotel in Astoria. TVc regret to be informed that Cpi.. Miller is under orders transfe'rrinij him from this department! th nu merous otktars we shall jpari from him m. i , - -, mjmm reluctantly, but we realize that it will perhaps be better for him, and we but reflect the viewB of all who bear, any acquaintance with him wlien we say that we wish him health and prosperity wherever he may go, and should it be his lot to again join us here, we hope to be amongst those who will stand ready to greet and welcome his return. NEWS OF THE MORNING. Congress proposes to adjourn on the22d. The naval deficiency bill has pass ed the house. The New York Times exposes the silver swindle. And the entire article is telegraphed over the country. The American trade dollar is con siderably undervalued at ports where a declared value has been assigned to it by the Chinese government. The Senate finance committee has agreed to hear a delegation of New York bankers on the subject of the house bill for the remonetization of silver. Can't the Portland board of trade send on a delegation, also. Ex-United States marshal Shaff enburger of Colorado, who has been in the Kansas penitentiary the past eight months for robbing the United States government of $40,000, was pardoned by President Hayes last Saturday. Oregon Leather Interests. The one article of leather alone will illustrate the constant drain upon the pockets of our people. That wc can make a good article is apparent from the fact that Oregon leather took the premium at the Centennial exhibition in Philadelphia. The Standard is glad to hear, from good authority, that a number of the most energetic busi ness men in Portland are to form a joint stock company, the business of which will be to engage in the manu facture of the various kinds of leather most needed by the people of Oregon, Idaho and Washington territories. The public generally is not aware of the magnitude of our importations of leather from California. It is estima ted that this year, thus far, it has reached the sum of one-third of a million of dollars. We have an inex haustible supply of tanning material and the finest hides in the world, which are, by a narrow-minded policy, grabbed up by speculatora .and shipped to San Francisco, and the east. A large percentage of them are worked up there and returned, in most cases, in very indifferent leather, because, as a general thing, the California tanners, leather dealers, and merchants, send us their poorest and retain the best for home consumption. Where the energetic business men of our sister state realize so handsomely from the investment, there must be consider ably more to the Oregon manufac turers. If the dealers in Oregon would all act honestly and give the home product a fair test. Cleopatra's Needle is now "in soak" in Spain, a Spanish sailor hav ing picked it up somewhere on the west coast of Spain and towed it into port at Ferrol. The Spanish skipper refuses to let it go without a big re ward from the contractor who was to convey it from Egypt to England, and the salvage is so high that the con tractor thinks he'd better let the darn needle be.
