The work of the California fish commissioners has been attended with the most gratifying results. The best result has been a cheap ening: of one of the best and most desirable kinds of food. The fin est salmon is so cheap in Cali fornia that it is within the reach of every class, and before long shad will cost uo more than the ordi nary fishes of the bay. The first shad were brought to California in 1870 or 1871 by Seth Creen. Since that time Messrs. Redding and Throckmorton, of the Califor nia state fish commission, have ... ,. - w nrocured additional supplies of Vyoung shad, and placed them in the Sacramento. This excellent fish can now be found any day at the markets. All along the river and in the bay fishermen catch them. The commissioners, have obtained from the Tinted States 2,000,000 young shad from the Hudson and Potomac, which will be placed in tin .Sacra mento at Tehama. This supply Till prettv well stock th' Sacra- mento and tributaries.

I lie white fish, in the language of the angler, is not game, but for food is unsurpassed.

The 1 first vounjr white fish received , -t m 1 ii were placed 111 lulare and Clear 1 lakes in iQix. A good many 1872. 1 i Have been caujrnt m lvins river mi- onn Ann i t. : .i This year 300,000 were obtained from lake Michigan. T distributed by placing 150. Tulare lake; 100,000 in lake Tahoe and 50,000 in Donner lake. jn mountain lakes, where the water is cool, white fish are at home, but they thrive in streams where the temperature of the water is higher. A full grown fish of the species weighs about five pounds. The commissioners have this season placed in Donner and small lakes about 50,000 land locked salmon. The catfish placed in the sloughs and ponds and tributaries of the Sacramento are doing remarkably well. There are said to be millions of them, and complaint is even made that there are too many for other fish. The icd speckled New England trout and the McCloud river trout aie- fre quently taken. The black bass which were put in Crystal springs are apparently enjoying life. It is very doubtful whether they can be considered, among fishes as a desirable acquisition to the finny tribes. The black bass, like the pike, peckerel and jack fish, is a ravenous eater and the way he snaps frogs and small fishes de lights the anjrler. The Literary Revolution is prompt with its edition of the revised Testament. The British monopolists unchained their edition on tho morn ing of May 20th, at 8:30 p. r., the same day the American edition was all in type, and of the various editions of the entire Testament and the Gos pels published separately, as many as 50,000 copies a day will be manfacturcd till the demand is met The prices for the very handsome editions, in type nearly double the size of tho British edition, are as fol fel fol eows: Tlie New Testament complete for 10 cents. The Gospels complete for 7 cents. The Gospels separately, each for 2 cents. And in various forms and styles, up to full Turkey Morocco, gilt edges, for the new and old versions on pages facing, for 1 50. This edition is for sale by the leading booksellers of tlie United States, or they will be sent by mail on receipt of price. Liberal terms are allowed to clubs.

The fact., as I luitlierercl thren frn Dr. Whitman, are about thee: Air. Webster was strongly in favor f the Newfound land Cod-jidicry. He was held in check by tteutoti, Admits and others. I'entoit had h better knowl edge of Oregon than "Webster, ii had been or become unpopular for his yielding on the eastern or Maine ques tion with Ashburton. The petition that had been sent by the tnissiHtaric, and the statements mad? by different parties, added to the personal rejre scntatious of 1-)-. Whitman as to tta practicaltility of a waj?i route, and the fact that the Doctor itna4oit in 1830 had taken cow and a wagon to fort lioiae, and that they could le taken to the Columbia river. That fact, sr attirmed by Dr. Whitman, stopped all sjeciilatin8 about giving np Oregon till the practical road one- ttion wa settled.

In roply to Mrs. Victors closing ' notice that "her proofs are not by any means half exhausted.' we beg to direct her attention to the standing challenge found on the fourth page of W. LI. Grays History of Oregon. I am aware that 1113' history has many enemies who keenly feel its cutting truths that, but for it, would have boon lost and now since we have so labored a controversy with Mrs. Vic tor, and she has attempted to make so much out of the Ashburton treaty, we will quote what Mr. Spalding did say about it; page 289, Grays History of Oregon, bottom of page: "But Mr. Webster lived too near cajte Cod to sec things iu the same light, (his fellow statesman,) this is not true, as Dr. W hitman was born in New York, as I have learned since wc commenced the monument, who had transferred his worldry interests to the Pacific coast. He (Mr. Webster) awarded sincont' to the missionary, but could not admit for a moment thai the short residence of six years could give the doctor tho knowledge of the coun try possessed by Governor Simpson, who had almost grown up in tho country, and bad traveled every pari of it, and represents it as an unbrok en waste of sand, deserts and impass able mountains, fit only for bears and the savages. Besides, he had about traded it off with Governor Simpson, to go into the Ashburton treaty, for a cod fishery on Newfoundland." We do not claim to be a profound gram- mgso much ot uerattcinjrt to utscanl I A trial wiU-ai:rv tm that thus is lite the Avhole cirort of Dr. Whitman in j tt luiter in IN' world.

I-or sale bv in 1&K5, and his aswataiiee to that 1111- All druggists, Kroeers and liquor dealer marian, but our common understand ing of language, and the combination of words, lead us to conclude that Mr. Webster, in the statement he made to Dr. Whitman, instead of referring to a treat "to le made," as Mrs. Vic tor claims, referred distinctly to one that had already been made with Ash burton, and upon that erroneous idea she based her attack upon Mr. Spal ding, Dr. Whitman, my history, and all who agree with me in the construc tion or understanding of Mr. Webstors words as repeated to Mr. Spalding, W. If. C'ray, and probably other, by Dr. Whitman. The Doctor nevi sought an interview with President Tyler who at once ap preciated his solicitude and his timely representations of Oregon, and es pecially his disinterested though haz ardous undertaking to cross the Rocky mountains in the winter to take back a caravan of wagonB, which he ac complished. We have nnother item of Mrs. Victor's wisdom, she says. 1 do not pretend to a what was the object of Mr. (Jrav in adopting the fiction which lie has" iuiHed upon tlie world a-. historv. Uut lht 1 doa. and can substantiate it : that until Mr. Cray, alKHit 18tW, set thi -tor athat. uoImmIj had e er Iieard of it. Mrs. Victor presumes in the above stateoiont that Mr. ("ray and every body in Oregon are as ignorant of ail tlie tacts ne nas given in nis mstory, as she has proved herself to be in all she has written about Oregon, early history, and the long list of treaties quoted, and in her ticticious River of the West.

Good evening kind friends, just listen to me. And w hen you have heard me, I'm sure you'll agree. I will give you a storv, and sing It out clear And the name of my song Ls the ALBANY BEER. You can find it all round iu this city of gold. And the way that they make It has never been told. That's a secret they keep and hold very dear. For the whole country is drinking that ALBANY BEER. Tlie brewery Ls large and the machinery Is fine. And every order Is sent to you righs up to time. They get all kinds of orders from far and from near. And every one's healthy that drinks AL BANY BEER. For every thing there looks so clean and so neat, And their beer is so sparkling, it cannot be beat. If vou are feeling bad or the blues do appear. You can drive them away by drinking AL BANY BEER. I have an old father, who's now eighty-three, And this is the advice he gave unte me. He spoke to me kindly with a voice bright and clear : "If you want to be healthy, drink ALBANY BEER." Since then I have douc so, and I'm hearty and sound. At the round age of fifty I can always be found At my dally labor before the sun does appear And each day ami night I drink ALBANY' BEER. Also, on draught, THE CELEBRATED BOCK BEER. C.
