Should the Oregon City Enterprise ever get its cTes open to the truth, it will see with us that political clap-trap js death to the country, coming from any source. As publishers in Oregon we should stand by the delegation in congress better than we do. Personal slanders are not calculated to win favors. George Daniels, as he introduced himself at Astoria, but who has travel ed tinder so many aliases that it is a -puzzle to know who he is, will be itaken to Portland to-morrow. He is jow in the county jail here, and that will compel him to defer fulfiling his engagement with those who advanced ihirn money on his pretext that lie was joing to start a fisherman's newspaper. During the absence of Mr Carl Axller people are invited to call at his r&tore and help themselves to whatever the' choose, at bed-rock prices. His present stock will be reduced to make room for a large assortment in new Clincs of goods. CoksuI Xecded at Astoria. For the want of a consul of the Hawaiian Kingdom ai Astoria, vessels sailing from this pert for Honolulu frequently meet with very vexatious dela3s. The Hera was detained three days on her last trip to secure the signature of the consul, who resides in Portland. The Jane A. Falkinburg is at this time detained for a similar purpose. It seems to us, inasmuch as the time lias come when Astoria ships (nearly as much as Portland, if not quite as much, to the Islands, that Astoria should lay aside its swaddling garments and step forth like a man of business. Commercially speaking, there is not a citizen of Portland who could reasonably object to this, and all similar appointments. T3i H o r Arte is din. It was Major Thockmorton, of Fort Stevens, who made the experimental tests of the Hotchkiss gun at Fort Vancouver recently. The gun is all that could be desired, it would seem. Various tests were made by Major Thockmorton. The 8Mi firing at an elevation of 20 drop ped the shell in the Columbia five miles distant, in 21i seconds flight: 9th at 20 elevation oj miles, m 22 sec onds; 10th 2ii C5 seconds in flight, 0J miles, about 12,000 feet per second. The gun weighs but 110 lbs., the car riage 144 lbs. and can be securely packed on three mules. During the practice on the 12th, Major Thock- .uiorton dismounted and mounted it in GO seconds; and he also dismounted and mounted and tired it in 1)0 seconds. It can be taken to pieces and packed ready for movement in ten minutes. There are 'but four of the Hotchkiss jnihs in the United States, a.id two of those are in this department, at Vancouver. Judging from these recent experi ments by Major Thockniorlon the guns will probably become popular with the war department, and be manufactured in the United States. Those now here were manufactured in France. The 3rancL Capt. Munson expects to go to Port land to-day for the purpose of taking out the final papers necessary for his steam launch Magnet. By invitation we were among those who went with Jiim yesterday on the trial trip, which completely assures us of the -success of the movement. The boiler and engine is of the Baxter patent, and was brought to Oregon by Mr. Joseh Hume, who intended to. place it in his sloop, but Ghortby afterwards, hav ing purchased ihe steamer Quickstep, Mr. Hume decided to sell the en gine. Mr. Munson had long ago de termined to put steam in the Magnet, and he purchased the engine. No more ''ash-breezes" for Munson; and in future whenever a party wish to go trou ting, or upon any sort of pick-nic, Munson can tell to a dot when they will return. The Magnet carried 100 lbs of steam yesterday against a four knot current ran to the buoy-depot m quick time. Returning, with 45 lbs of steam she made the run at the rate of ten miles an hour. C. H. Bain & Co. will, from this date, discount ten per cent, for cash, on former prices on sales of mould ings, sash and doors. Mr. Martz, the mail carrier from Astoria io Grays river, left Astoria with the .mail last Tuesday as usual. The boat went ashore near Foss' log ging camp, about four miles above Knappton. Martz is missing, and no doubt he is lost. M&rlz had lived at Shoalwater bay several years, and v t a steady, honest, and good man. The boat came ashore right side up, but was full of water, and the mail, oars, etc., .gone. o The Astoria Chamber of Com merce are now publishing a notice in San Francisco, advising passengers who are coming to Oregon to take their tickets for Astoria, and here change to the magnificent river steam boats of the Oregon Steaai Navigation company. Passengers for Puget sound will thus save one day on the route, while all others will find k much more comfortable, not so crowd ed, and be able always to view the 1 Columbia j-iver .scenery by day light. tetter from Capt. Steven. The many friends of Capt. D. Steven who was in command of the ship City of Dublin when she was unfortunately straudedon Clatsop beach last October, will be glad to hear that he is again on the way to the Columbia river in com mand of another vessel. In The Daily Astorian of December 21st, we noted his departure from Astoria on the Great Republic bound for Glasgow, and expressed the hope that he would soon tread the deck of an other vessel, and at 110 distant date visit our port again, under more favorable circumstances. Mr. E. C. Holden received by the last mail a letter from the Captain from which we are permitted to make the following extracts. Ship Citv of Vienna. ) Eoilish Channel. march 2, lUtf. My Dear Friend: 1 received your very welcome letter about a fortnight ago, and fully ex pecting to have plenty of time on hand for the next few months, delayed a little in writing to 5011. I must con fess I felt gratified at the notice of my departure published in The Asto kia" you sent me, and I am happy to sa3T the wish that 1 may soon tread the deck of another iron ship has al ready come to pass, and the latter part in a fair way of being fulfilled also, as if all noes well 1 expect to be in the Columbia river early in Sep tember. 1 arrived home on the 4th of Feb. and sailed from London on the 27th, and here I am, like Jack, out ward bound with a stocking round my neck. After visiting the owners of the ship City of Dublin and sub mitting my accounts and vouchers, I went home for, as I thought, a few months enjoyment, after remaining home for ten days I visited Glasgow and called on the owners again when 1 found they had just dispatched news for me to come in next morning. After holding a consultation about the Dublin and deciding it best to sell her, Mr. Smith bavins written out a tele gram to that effect, informed me that he had the City of Vienna ready for me and wished me to leave for Lon don next night as she wrs loading and would sail soen. So you see 1 had only twelve hours notice. The City of Vienna is 2G0 tons larger than the Dublin, twelve years younger and far superior m every respect. Remember me to Mr. Ireland, and all inquiring friends. Your sincere friend, David Steven. Passengers for Honolulu. By the fine sailing barkentine Jane A. Falkinburg, Mr. Mark A. Eing and Mr. Marshall, (son of Geo Mar shall, esq.), will go as passengers to Honolulu. It was expected that the Falkinburg would sail to-day, but she is del3Ted to enable shippers to se cure the signatures of the Hawaiian consul, who resides in Portland. Mr. King has been in bad health for some time, but a health restoring and de cidedly interesting and pleasurable ex cursion is just before him, which will surely add to his enjoyments and give him a new lease of life. SliinpLnjr Xoies. The Chamber of Commerce is in receipt of dispatches announcing that: The steamships Oregon and G,eat Republic 'both left San Franc'sco gq time yesterday (at 10 o'clock a. m.), for Astoria and Portland. The' are among the finest -steamships afloat, and judging from the last t;ip will both arrive here to-morrow. Iroivcd In the Columbia. The dispatch referred to yesterday is published to-day iu full, xespecting the hody of Mr. Geo. Smith. Mr. Smith was mate of the steamer City of Qtiincy, and was drowned on Friday hist, opposite S. B. Knapp's landing on the Columbia river. Smith has been upon the river as captain aud mate for fifteen vear3, and leaves a young wife in Vancouver. Deceased was a member of Vancouver lodge of Odd Fellows and was highly res .pected. By permission of the superinten dent of the loth Light-house district, the keeper at the Tongue-point bouy depot has the past winter put up the hull of a very handsome steam jacht, 39 feet in length, 8 feet beam. The hull is now about ready for launching. The covering will be after the style of a Concord 'bus. The interior ia conveniently arranged, and the parlor ' spat will bf unholstered. We did not learn when the new craft may be expected to go upon hertrial trip. Krw mvnipp nt those 3Iedallion JUingcs si JMagniisC Crosby's. Fin dins Mamma.
