The war department has paid the Oregon Steam Xavigathm Company $120,0W durum: the past txvo years for armv transportation on the Columbia river. This xvas caused by the Indian campaign: and xxhile it brought a neat .uni to the company, it was not one third as much as they would hax'e real ized from other business had the out break ne'er eccurred: so it is siated by those who claim to know whereof they apeak. F. S. Hates has recently established a pony express route, from Wesport and the " Clatskanie. into TehaJeni valley, making trips from each plse into the valley, xxvekly.

The business of marine insurance companies on both sides of tlie Atlan tic is in a depressed condition, show ing an excess of losses over gains, ex plained by the marked depression of the shipping interests, compelling ninny owners to do a part of their own underwriting uhilenn unusually large amount of tonnage is left wholly un covered. Tlie Dulles Mountr.ire ;r 5avs: The many weeping xvillow trees xvhich or nament tlie city are responding to the tine weather of the past few days by assuming a robe of rich green. The effect of their beauty may almost be read iu the face of the passer br, who is reminded of the near approach of summer months, hen the same beaut will characterize all nature. The proprietors of the Umatilla house have determined to build :i new hotel at The Dalles, in addition to the one they noxv have. It will be 120 feet deep, 40 feet in .xvidth 50 feet including the porch. When the hotel is completed it will contain 125 bed roomslarge, light and airy capable of accommodating from 350 to 400 guests. This xvill no doubt be the largest and handsomest hotel east of the mountains. The British iron shin Jessie Osborne, xvhich ran ashore at Tennessee Cove, four miles north of San Fran cisco heads, September 15, 1S7S, h:is been rebuilt. She xvas sold on the ISth of September to Goodall, Perkins & Co. for -$2,450- She xvas subse quent floated off and repaired, and rechristened the Mariposa. She xvas built at Dumbarton, Scotland, in 1874, and xvas formerly owned by W. & A. Brown of Glasgow, and xvas rated can A 1 clipper ship, and valued at S3,000. She is 221 feet in length, 34 in beam, and measures 20i feet to the hold. The Mariposa is noxv taking a cargo of wheat for Liverpool. The exodus of negroes from the south is evidently becoming a serious question. The movement is organized and conducted under the guidance of those xvhom negroes regard as their superiors. Many have already set tled in Kansas and are prospering there. Reports of their success have further demoralized the laborers m the old states, xvho are badly used very often, even the industrious are some times ill paid, and are not prosperous in any xvay, and are alarmed to find that the party alxvays in sympathy xvith their enemies is dominant in the nation. This departure of labor, if it assumes the proportions apprehended, xvill greatly hurt the south in its in dustrial interests, and the southern people may have Decision to reflect upon their own folly in their failure to regard the great element of their pros perity in any other than a strictly po litical spirit. Plainly it is no ordimu-y discontent that has caused throngs of people to leave the scenes dear to them from old associations, and seek nexv homes in distant states. They havo evidently grown xveary of xvaiting for "the year of jubilee," for xxhich they have prayed so fervently iu their little rude churches in the woods. The "good time coining" seems, alas, as far off as ever. They xvanted to be treated like white folks. Alas, for their hopes! The west has no place for them. White men, emiipped xvith superior brains and energy, and ac customed to the rigor of the northern climate, have a hard time in making a start in a nexv country like Kansas, unless the' have a capital to begin xvith. Probably most of the emigrants will bitterly regret the hasty step they j have taken. It may be, however, tnat gooa win come out ot tne move ment, if not to the poor xxanderers. Planters xvho have lost hands that were their sole dependence for making a crop- -for there is no surplus labor in the Mississippi, x'alley xvill realize that it is for their interest to make the blacks contented, and cre ate a public sentiment that xvill de mand better treatment of the bone and sinexv of the south.

An In teres! inr Lei Icr from Major 31. P. Kerry on the SIlHaflon In Alaska. The folloxving is a letter from Major Beny, xvho was collector of customs for Alaska from 1S74: to 1S77, and returned to Sitka on the last vovacre of the mail steamer Califernia: Sitka, March 0, 1S79. We arrived here this morning and found at anchor in the harbor H. B. M. ivar-steamer Osprey, also the U. S. revenue cutter Oliver Wolcott. From what I can gather during the short time that I have been here, I believe that the precautionary measures adopted 1)3' the citizens here of addressing the British admiral stationed at Victoria, British Columbia, a petition, and the prompt manner, in xvhich it x-as an swered in the shape of a powerful xres sel, saved Sitka from a repetition of an attempt at general slaughter, such as x as precipitated on the Hussians in xvhat xvas knoxvn as the Indian church, the date of xvhich I have for gotten. Tiie few Americans here fe. 1 very thankful for the prompt relief. Nevertheless they wear sack-cloth and ashes when they look across the harbor and take in at a glance the proud bearing of the Osprey, xvith the banner of Eng land floating in and fanned by the breeze, and then at the nondescript war vessel of the great Republic, xvhich is elex-ated into supposed power as an arm of the government by treas ury leeches xvhich exen the unwashed sixvashes of the const laugh and sneer at a vessel representing the naval power of the United States that is not permitted to show or Uy the national flag in gox'ernmeiit xx-aters only under certain and- peculiar circumstances which to-day, now, that it has arrived here at Sitka, is begging coal that it limy be able to runaway if necessary for xx'hich blessing, doubtful as it is, the people must thank God, or the economical manner in xvhich the 690, 000 xvhich the vessel cost was expend ed on her build. Truly "pre lix'e in a great age it must be a great age xvhen one hundred and fifty Indians can tmiiv ami rule oxcr lour or nve million of men, and the same number of Indians in canoes can threaten and will eventually take, all the naval poxverthat can be spared from San Francisco, that is not required to keep the Barbary coasters from driv ing the soldiers of Alcatraz Is land into the bay. You must ex cuse my growl at the naval and treas ury oflicials, as 1 am using my pen as a kind of safety 'alve, because this day I have eaten humble pie for all the citizens of my country this bright and beautiful day, axvay here on the North xx'est coast, in the far off Alaska, have I seen xvith mine own eyes that xvhich a few years ago, liadit exTcn been insinuated that such a thing xvas pos sible, xvould hax-e put the person's life in peril this sight that 1 have seen .and that I desire to impress upon 3Tou,' is that of American citizens on their own soil being protected by their hereditary enemies English tars and marines. Just think of it ! Think xvhat criminal enormity and negligence must rest somexvhere! The xx'eather has been dry and clear since January. Snoxv lies on the ground yet that fell during that month. About one hundred and fifty men start up the Stickeen on the ice, bound for the Cassier mines; during this xveek. Snow is reported very deep a far jis the great glacier, about sixty orsex'en ty miles up the river. After that less snoxv and moderate weather. NEW ORGAN. Just Arrived nt tke Great Kastern.

The instrument is one of the barrel and pipe or jun variety, and plays forty Ger man, French, and American airs, including operas, marches, hymns, songs and most of the popular music of the day. The tone of the instrument, which stands ten feet high and is five feet in width, is rich and mellow, and the music is very delightful.
