New York, Jan. 23. Capt. Adams
at Cork reports sighting, about 50
miles west of Fastnett, a ship on fire
and a steamer well manned in the
neighborhood. On going to the assist
ance of the vessel, he was warned by
the steamer to keep on his course, or
he would burn too, and not to report
what he had seen, else he had better
look out for himself, on his next voy
age.
Fobt Robinson, Jan. 22, The
Cheyenne Indian campaign has closed.
On Monday Col. Evans found the ren
egades. Capt. Wessels started on
their trail with four companies of cav
alry. The work of capturing them
either dead or alive began in dead
earnest. Nine were captured, twenty
three killed, and seventeen unaccount
ed for. It is supposed that some died
of their wounds, and others escaped.
Washington, Jan. 28. Represen
tative Finlay has submitted to the
committee on public expenditures his
report with reference to the investiga
tion of the government printing office.
After charging general extravagance,
the report recommends the abolish
ment of the printing office, and that
the printing be let out to the lowest
bidder.
San Francisco, Jan. 23. A steady
rain has been falling since early last
evening; wind fresh from the south,
and every indication of a prolonged
storm.
Steadman, of bucket-shop notoriety,
was held to answer to day on charges
of embezzlement. Bail 11,000.
Washington, Jan. 23. The house
went into committee of the whole on
the bill to apply the proceeds of the
sale of public lands to the education
at the people. Townsend, New York,
.said that it passed all human patience
to stand by and see a calm, adroit,
an oily proposition to rob loyal states
out of their interest in public lands.
They were to be thimble-rigged put of
their interest. lie was not ready for
that. The time fixed for general de
bate having expired, the house pro
ceeded to consider the bill by sections
of amendment." Reagan moved to
amend the proviso in the first section,
which provides that it shall not limit
or abridge the power of congress
over the public domain or interfere
with granting lands, by adding the
words "or grants in aid of public
improvements." Eden offered as
a substitute for Reagan's amend
ment, an -amendment providing
that all public lands which have
been giantecLby congress to aid in the
construction of railroad and telegraph
lines which have not been earned, and
wMh liavA lansed by failure to com
plete such railroads and telegraph i
nnes within the time nuuusu, ai
hereby declared forfeited to the united
States. The committee rose without
acting on the amendment.
Will Have an Icc-liause.
The local reporter on the Weston
Leader "gushes" over the announce
ment that Weston is to have an ice
house. We quete:
Dlow borean blasts! Hang icy
stalactites, besport in your frigorific
splendor, irradiate fantastic gleams of
light resplendent, and fling your fitful
shadows to frozen stalagmites below.
Curl, hoary frost, around the silent
points of comfort, entwine your white
arms in cold embrace around man
kind. Fall, laughingly, gleefully, ye
trembling snow-flakes, and cosily creep
to the bosom of our primeval mother,
while:
"That beauteous maiden
With white fire laden,
Whom mortals call the moon.
beams her soft light upon you, to illu
minate your gleaming surface with a
spangled zone of gems. Enjoy your
brief season of chilling victory, and
may your sullen joj'S freeze on the
tablets of your memory, for boreas;
'Thine azure sister of the spring shall
blow
Her clarion ocr the dreaming earth,
and fill
With living hues and odors, plain and
hill."'
And then Old Sol, the sultry tyrant
of the panting south will:
"With a slowing. Howry birth
Heat and refresh the turning earth.''
and the heart of man be filled with
rapturous love. Theirshalt be heard
the sharp twang of Cupid's bow, as
his nry snatts are aimeu at nearts in
"maiden meditation, fancy free."
But be it love, be it hard-fisted toil,
anxious thought or but idle yielding
to the relaxing heat of midsummer, in
all will cooling relief be sought. "My
kingdom for an ice-house!" Talis
manic though,! And Weston's cup of
joy fill therewith, for an ice-house is
being erected.
OREGON EXPORTS.

DOMESTIC, fur TEX YEARS.
The export of Oroijon, says the Cen
tennial ciicularof 1870, average 378 00 to
every man in tho ttate. It is more than
that now, annually. Oregon wheat, wool
Flour, Salmon, Fniit, and vegetables,
command from 5 to 10 per cent, higher
price than thoe from any other country
with a population of40,000 men her exuort
oqual one -t'vonth of the total export of
mtj umiiii riuie. i ruiy, hucn a, swiie is
not a poor state to live in.
In the preparation of the following sta-
u-ucai uiuio we nave spareu ncuncrpnm
nor labor. Wc have nought and procured
information from every source, and have
at last what we believe to be a reliable
hhowing of all the Wheat and Flour ex
ports of Oregon by annual reason, since
August 1S(S. Siati-tieal information of
this kind can only be obtained correctly
at a point where all vessels going out of
the Columbia river mav be spoken, after
they are fully loaded. Correct and relia
ble information of tlii- sort wo expect to
give, more luiiy it poibic in luture than
m the pa-t, thus making The Astorian
the reliable jmpcr of the Shipping Statis
tics of Oregon. Thie tables will be fol
lowed by other, detailing the general
commercial features of each fcuccceding
harvest 3enr:
