Oregon City, Oregon : Saturday, December 15, 1866. ; M Mi More op Tillamook. From Mr. J. J. Dawson, of Tillamook Bar, we are ed that the schooner J. C. Champion has more than she can do, to bring out the products of that region his season. Tons of prime butter are there now awaiting shipment He is confident that one of the late discoveries in that vicinity is of a lead mine. With coal, tin, lead, and other min- erals, as well as a most excellent quality of farming land, Tillamook is truly a prom- ising part of our State for settlement. The salmon fishery there will be improved largely next season, as the catch will show. The road from Grand Iionde agency to Tillamook i3 to be opened, another year. Chaxce for Philanthropists. The Unionist says the Library of the State Penitentiary consists of four or five greasy backed Bibles, about the same number of hymn books and two or three miscellane- ous religious works, all of which look as though they had descended in a regular line through generations of tallow chand- lers since the time of King James' transla- tion. Here 13 certainly an opportunity for the exercise of a little genuine Christian charity. The State should furnish a libra Trip to Portland. A trip to Portland is a mere bagatelle now while it lasts, but were the boats run-in- g twice a ofay, regularly and constantly, it would increase travel and possibly add to the profits oP the company. Two or three new sights there strike attention. The Court House and Carter's Block are fine monuments of publie spirit, skill in architecture, and show the existence of piles of money for such use. The situation of the Court House is superior ; the plaza in front is now "we cared for by tasty im- provements, and both have a beauty and freshness quite equal to the most prosper- ous and ambitious little cities. The out-- side of the Court Ifyuse has the effect of simple grandeur, but tfiat order re in- tended In its structure-i- t is needless to in- - (O) quire. In building now everywhere, all orders are used and made to constitute, each its share, both in general shape and deails. The dome is odd in form and or- nament, looking like an inverted goblet The bulls' eyes or port holes, may be ac- counted for by men's hejids of late having run so much on war and turretted moni- tors. The color seems intended for brown sandstone, but as no such material exists in tbjis country any lighter1 neutral tint would have been neai good taste. The building was inaugurated b the last Cir- cuit Court. The court room is immense, the dome absorbing: all sound, so that moderate tones and voices pitchedKfor other places, can scarcely be heard close by. The judge's seat is formed after the inevitable pulpit of a Presbyterian meet- ing house : the bar is perhaps large enougrh for those engaged at any one time, but the furniture is quite beneath the place and the structure. The tables and chairs are such as the meanest whisky shop in own afibrds, but possibly it was intended to save the shock of the too sudden transition to the practitioners, from such places to one of decency and comfort. Father Jackson's raw hide seats on maple frames would be a decided improvement. The County Court room is ornamented with the dirty broken debris of the old court room, the whole of which would scarcely sell for six bits at auction. All the rooms are spacious, elegant, well ventilated, and quite sufficient in number for all the offices. The building and all finishing outside will cost over eighty thousand dollars. It is principally built by that spunky little city, and yet is owns no place for the transac- tion of its own municipal affairs. Some day a Town Hall will be adopted in a spasm, and one erected in duplicate of this or of grander dimensions. Brick and mortar are becoming popular, and tjoard houses must measurablv cease. Two beautiful streets run the length of the place, beside quite a number fsom the river oacic au wen paved clone in a a hurry, on contract, and many of them requiring repairs already. Before leaving the Court House we ought to say that the plan is Burton's, but he was underbid at the letting by Clark & Goodenough, who became the architects. The basement is the prison, an arrangement that may do, although it is a queer feature in a building devoted to justice or religion. Some wag-sai- d it was modeled after some of the old Spanish Inquisition establishments. It is to be hoped there is no trap door in the floor of the bar. A virtuous profession might lose some of its brightest ornaments with most sudden and inconvenient dis- patch. Carter's Block is the beauty spot in Oregon, and would grace any city in the world. The architect is Mr. Nestor. He will not soon be called on for a similar one, but the style can be adopted in plain- er structures. A Valuable Ixstitutiox. "We are told that as" college'' is an establishment or edifice appropriate to the use of students who are acquiring the languages and sciences. We recollect, in year gone by ; Bryant and Strattoiw chain" of Commer- cial Colleges in Eastern cities and we remember the benefits conferred by that " chain," extending from St. Louis to New York. The National College of Business and Commerce, lately established in Port- land is just such an Institution. It has long been wanted in Oregon, and we are pleased to note that its success is sure. Its establishment is one of those great en- terprises which are not only of incalcula- ble value to the young and risiDg gener- ation, but it affords facilities for men of mature age already engaged in business, to acquire knowledge without which mer- chandising is simply agame of chance. The Portland Business and Commercial College is being well attended by students from every part of the State. Persons de- siring to be informed regarding terms of tuition, are referred to advertisement in this paper, and for further particulars ad- dress the President, Mr. M. K. Lauden- - slager. - Tillamook Products. Capt. Hedges of this county, formerly Indian Agent, used to tell a story of a Tillamook cabbage which was so large that it could note taken whole through an ordinary door. This story, says the Oregonian, is no ex- aggeration, as Mr. Foley informs that paper that he has seen this year quite as large. The rAFEIt Mill. Maj.

Pain Killer, taken internally, should be adulterated with mjlk or water, and sweet- ened with sugar if desired, or made into a syrup with molasses. For a Cough, a few drops on sugar eaten will be more effec- tive than anything else. For Sore Throat, gargle the throat with a mixture of Pain Kilh-- r and water, and relief is immediate and the cure positive. It should not be forgotten that the Pain Killer is equally as good to take internally, as to use externally. Each bottle is wrap- ped with full directions for it3 use. Please read the printed directions;. will be a manufacturing: State the New England of the Pacific. Commerce will come to our wharves laden with the prod- ucts of distant lands ; bearing to them the fruits of our harvests, the wealthof our mines and the products of our industry. That tiine will be hastened as the faciht-e- s for communication improve. The Pacific Railroad will bring the world much nearer us, and in ting another trans -- continental road will be built, bringing to our' waters one of the greatest possible openings for commerce and enterprise. The census of 1SG5 shows that over two-third- s of the nonn- - lation of the State reside in the Willamette Valley, which is the most extensive bodv of farming land upon thfcPacific coast, and not second to any in crfmate and produc- tions. It contains over three million noa of rich aratteland. and if diride.i of one hundred and sixty acres each, wnmd easily accommodate a rul community of onehSndred thousand souls,- - Add to'thii the number naturally engaged in other pnr- - suits, either professional or meclnical, and the residents of cities, and wevould find this Valley may naturally maintain a popula- tion of two hundred thousand, dependent' entirely upon its own resources. LetMt achieve progress in manufactures, as we be- lieve it will, and eventually it will contain a much larger number than that, and the child is born that, shall live to see it. Referring to the census of 1863 again, we find that even the richest agricultural counties, such (Fas Ling) Lane and Marion, have not over one acre in hlteen in cultivation, and the low price of land through thi Valley enables any man with very moderate "means to purchase a good farm and make a pleasant home. It is a fault with Oregonians that they generally own too much land. Forty acres well improved can be made more valu-ab'- e and productive ian a mile square of land not properly cared for, and in many countries forty acres is considered no mean farm. The prospect of the completion of the Central Pacific Railroad introduces a new era one ofJ progress ; an era when rail- roads will begin" to be appreciated, their necessity felt and their construction beeun. This will extend eVh to us bring the iron horse fioui the Sacramento to the Columbia. We have particularly cited the Willamette country and its census returns to show that it can accommodate with ease a large popu- lation, not that it is the only region of value in the State. Even here, where its popula- tion is most dense, it might increase four fold and not occupy the territory, and the cultivation of four times the (Soil now tilled would leave nearly three-fourth- s of the val- ley unproductive. We wani the outside world to see there is room among us, even in the best settlements, and we desire to show them inducements to come here and help build up our State. Outside this val- ley can be found as much more valley land, fuily as productive, sind neither so well settled or cultivated. To the south sire the fine valleys of Rogue River and Umpqu ; along the coast and on the Columbia river is a considerable extent of good agricultural land, and east of the mountains are the val- leys of Umatilla and Walla Walla, Grand Rondo and J'owder River, besides many smaller spots and much more not yet open- ed to the inarch of civil zr.tion. These dif- ferent sections are more valuable because separate. We of the Willamette have the advantage of a comim rce that can use our surplus product.?, while to the south and east are rich mining districts that require to be fed, and these other agricultural lands lie contiguous to ihem. "Eventually this State caii and will contain, a m&lion inhabi- tants not in our time, but inur children's. Then railroads will traverse over valleys and span the continent on the Northern route ; then every water-fal- l will cause the hum of spindles; the timber of our forests be made useful in many ways, and the in- - ventive genius of our people vie with the ingenuity of Yankee land. The recordpf the Circuit Court will fur- nish evidence of what the Chinese popula- tion is costing the county of Multnomah. There have been a great number of Celestials tried for one crime and another, occupying the time of the Court for not less than nine days already. Without saying anything of those cases in which the defendant has been discharged and iu which the county has to pay the ccsts of trial, the time of the Court in Chinese trials at this term alone has cost not less than $000, and if the approximate costs of trial be added, we will have not less than $1,500. Tin's is likely to go on increas ing instead of diminishing, and we submit that it is a matter vhich calls for serious taiught. The farmers tf Birch creek, says the Press of Umatilla, have threshc 30,000 bushels of grain this year, and am trying the uplands for fall wheat, and if it produces well, which there is every reason to believe, they can pro- duce 300,000. The samejpaper says there is sufficient water power a mile from Umatilla, for driving any quantity of machinery. The letter instructions from Postal Agent Brooks to Postmaster Randall of Portland, directs that all mail matter, whether papers or letter, to be delivered South of Portland, marked to go by steamer," will be seut that way. All through documentary and paper mail is incluacd ia the arrangement for steamer carriage. The offices and rooms of the Oregonian establishment are nov heated altogether by steam, forced from theboiler situated on the ground floor, through coils of iron tubes. The arrangement is an invention of Mr. C. II. Myers, proprietor of the Portland Plumb- - rUg, Gas and hteam-httin- g Establishment. Messrs. McCormick and Bushwiler have got a now map ot toe city ot 1'oitianct, as surveyed b- - C. W. Burragc, City Surveyor. It shows everything within the corporate limits except the grades Oregon City ought to be getting a new map to send east, that people may judge of the shape of things here. Portland, says the Oregonian, has got the Chinaman disease in a little worse form than most California towns will consent to have it. In that State, it rarely occurs that a col- ony of them is permitted to occupy either the heart of aJown or any quarter ot'it. One of Linie's patent safes, large size, passed up the river a few days since, for the otlice of the Secretary of State, at Salem. The Herald saj-- s this safe Ans long been needed. Democratic papersdo speak the truth once m a while. Dr. W. A. Kelly, of Lewiston, intends erecting a saw and llonr mill at Lewiston, to be in readiniSfc for work as soon as possible. The Willamette Iron Works of Portland, have the contract to manufacture the ma- chinery. (S) The weather since last Friday has strongly indicated a freeze upon the Columbia. The steamer Fannie Trovp, and others, have been shod with iron around the bows, to en- able them to pass through floating fields free jf danger.

It is supposed that the missing bark has been frozen in at the Arcadian river, as cold weather comes so quick and without warning that itwas almost impossible for her to have got away. She is the store ship of the expedition. She has plenty of provisions, and her crew are per- fectly safe, though the position may be a cold one.

All the troops will leave Mexico in March. This is in accord- ance with the correspondence between Sew- ard and Bigelow, and is confirmed by the news of the Continental from Mazatlan. The steamship Continental brings news to San Francisco on the 12th, of the evacuation of Mazatlan by the French under flag of truce, November 11th. Duranzo andSan Luis Potosi were evacuated on the ISth of November. According to the ContlnentaVs news, Maximilian was yet at Orizaba, but would leave Mexico for Austria in a few days. The French troops will concentrate in the city of Mexico, and prepare to leave the Re- public in March, A New Orleans dispatch to the Sth, says that both the Ortega and Juarez factious in Mexico condemn Sedgwick's occupation of Matamoras. Several officers belonging to the United States were insulted, in Mata- moras on Dec. 2d, and one belonging to a Colorado regiment was beaten to death by some of Cortina' s men. News from the Rio Grande is thought to indicate implacable hostility to American intervention in the af fairs of Mexico, and that any effort of the kind would cause more united opposition than was made against French intervention or the Empire. A dispatch received from Sheridan, dall at New Orleans, speaks of matters being in uuu.nvu wu iuv; Alio irruuutt. x lie act of Sedgwick gave rise to no complication - "Infant," says Sheridan, "Escobado called on me to ask me not to hold him responsible.

The House resolved to adjisurn on the 20th, until January Sd. Bidwell offered a bill for the maintenance of the Indians of northern California. Congress will appoint a committee to visit New Orleans, and investigate the riots. The House tabled by a decisive vote the resolution in favor of increasing the cur- rency. Conness offered a bill to grant land to aid the construction of the San Francisco and Central Pacific Railroad. e The credentials of representatives from Alabama, were presented in the House, and referred, on the 12th. A joint resolution has been called up in the Senate, to disband and prohibitnihtia in the South. The committee on Foreign Affairs have re- ceived instructions to inquire what measures are necessary to secure foreign recognition of our naturalization principles.

The bill was made the special order for the ISth. To convene the Fortieth Congress on the fth of March requires special elections in California, Kentucky, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Tennessee. The bill passed the llot&e on the loth by 127 to SO. Pending the vote, Higby of California explained the impossibility of electing Ci-forni- a members. Bidwell offered an amend ment empowering the Governors of States to fix elecljons prior to the 4th of March. The amendment was not accepted. The Califor-niadelegatib- n propose to get Congress to authorize the calling of special elections i$ior to February. The leading members of Congress are in favor of making an experiment to see if the Postoflice department cannot advantageous'v mauage the telegraph. The proposition is to build a line from Washington to New York, and declare it a post route, put it un- der the control of the Postmaster General, and require each message to bear a cent postage stamp for every twenty or thirty words. It is believed the line would yield a handsome revenue. The present Postmaster General is understood to think the scheme entirely practicable. What has been done in other countries can be done in this. , The following account of financial matters and history of Oregon's first and last mint will be read with interest: It is from the ten of Mr. J. G. Campbell of Oregon City, under date of August 4th, 1S66, and may be found in the report of the Secretary of State: "Sir In reply to yours of the 17th ult., requesting a history of the mint estab- lishment in 1849, I give you a brief account. Upon the discovery of the gold mines and the consequent rush of miners, for nearly every man that went to California at that time be- came aSiiiner, and the great demand for sup- plies to clothe and feed them, Oregou very naturally sent a great number of her popu- lation, together with all the supplies that she could spare from her immediate wants, receiving in turn a large amount of gold dust of the most superior quality, taken from the Feather and Yuba rivers principally. Nearly every man brought gold dust with him on his return to Oregon, and, finding that great annoyance and waste accompanied the payments of small sums in dust, was naturally anxious to dispose of sufficiency of dust for coin f& meet their demands. There being but littIe9eoin in the country at that timefcaused an influx from the nearest ports where it could be obtained, viz: South America; and as the debasement of the cur- rency of nearly all of the South American States was great and notorious, so much so, in fact, that upon my return from the At- lantic side in the latter part of 184", before the gold mines were discovered, they did not ma, twenty-hv- e of their nominal quarters of a dollar iu exchange for a United States half eagle command when you take into consid- eration that a very large amount of gold dust, the intrinsic value ot which was between eighteen and nineteen dollars per ounce, payable in this debasedfcouth American coin at the rate of four of these nominal quarters of a dollar to the dollar, you wil see at once the enormous loss Oregon wasuffet ing the double discouilfPon the gold and coin. A small party of gentlemen met at the count ing room &f Campbell & Smith to take the foregoing matter into consideration, and concluded, for the general benefit of the country, to form a company fo.he purpose of coining the dust into a shape that would be otpar value at any place where gold coin was used. The names of the parties that paid for the machinery, dies, etc., and that incurred and lost the whole expenses of the transaction were Kilborne, Magf-ude.-- Tay- lor, Rector, Campbell & Smith. xhe design of the dies was drawn by myself at the first meeting of the company, and immediately adopted as being appropriate. The tariff on goods exchanged by the Hudson Bay Company for furs (of which beaver money was the main item in Oregon(J)being much less than for coin, beaver orders on the Hud- son Bay Company were considered the best money in the country. As soon as we com- menced making the coin, gold dust rose to sixteen dollars per ounce, "at which rate we exchanged our dust for coin, wt.n so re- quested. After having issued some ten thousand dollars, and broken both our cruci- bles (we had with much trouble only been able to procure two), and having effected our influx of South American currency, and every piece that we coined beinyr at the ex- pense of the company, we concluded to cease operations, and did so. I send you an assay madefor mo at the U. S. Mint at "Philadelphia m j ou ; me nrst mentioned on the memo randum was the clippings of the last coining. and tSe- contents of our last crucible when It broke, together with some very heavy fine Yuba dust ; the second is our Oregon beaver coin, and I assure you that every coin in this assay was so abraded, that the design was ahnost(ibdistin:ruishab!e, from tho wear by contact with alloyed, and, of course, ha' der coin. I also seud you the dies, which, if yon see proper, I would like to have deposit- ed with the $10 piece you alluded to. They were made by W. II. Rector d Hamilton Campbell in Oregon." One prolific source of Chinese crime, says the Oregonian, arises from the existence among them of a system of slavery, quite as oojeciionaole rs the African svstem any where. Men and women arc bourht and sold in Portland hundreds of dollars beiug some- times paid for a slave of commonrade, and as high as perhaps a thousand dollars for an extra one. Quito a large proportion of the Chinese prostitutes are the slaves of men who compel them to follow that degrading vocation for the enrichment of Celestial aris- tocrats. Men of money among them who ownIavcs, require them to produce a stated amott'nt of money for a stated period and the fear of punishment for failure often in- duces the slave to resort to larceny and other crimes. Our public authorities should see to it that the system be ruest thoroughly broken up. Lambert, thc robber of Collector Adams, escaped from the New York Toombs on the night of November 1st. The says he was kept in on e of the comfortable rooms on the main Uoor of thej)building, a species of reserved apartments for respectableper-so- u s under arrest. AVhy hC) was thJe is strange to us; as from what we have been informed he was a most perfect loafer, and in no way entitled to such distinction. There is something rotten about his escape. The Oregonian says that the assessed value of property in Multnomah counj) for 1S6-1- , was 4v331,9S0 on which there was paid a property ta3of $12,905 7'.). In 1865, the as- sessed valuation was on which the tax paid amounted f) $24,845 10. Mult- nomah has the largest property valuation of any county in the State, nd in 18(55, was the third county in population, Marion ex- ceeding her UtPjOSS and Linn by 1323. The property valuation of Multnomah was last year greater than Marion by SI ,572,603, and greater than Linn by $2,031,475. The Herald is informed that the O. S. N. Company have men employed running wood down the Payette river, to be used next sum- mer by the steamer Shoshone. The loggre now nearly all down, and workmen are en- gaged splitting and cording the wood at the regular landing place. The coal at Olds' Ferry will also be used on the Shoshone, and workmen are engaged developing the mine so as to reach the natural and perfect strata. The steamer can go to,vthin a few miles of the Salmon Falls. The stage from Canyon City arrived at the Dalles on Friday evening. The Indis are still committing degradations on the road. Last week a pack train was stolen about one mile from Camp Watson. The men did not at first believe the Indians had stolen the animals, owing to their close proximity to Camp Watson, but were soon (bnxinced of the fact from the signs in the neighborhood. Col. Baker, as soon" as the robbery wa re- ported to him, sent a detachment of soldiers m pursuit of the Indians. The Herald of Sunday "noticed" one hun- dred barrels of flour at McCraken, Jlernll fc Co.'s, which had been put up iu good oak barrels, hooped with wooden hoops. That really begins to look like civilization. For home use there is not a family to be found in Oregon, who came from east of the Mis souri, who will not prefer barrels to sacks. We regret that the Herald did not finish the item ancLteil us where those barrels came from vlf?i lipr "rnuntl lir(f)' fl.,f ' .1 (jAvhat " 106 superfine" costs. The great number of merchants in this State who are endeavoring to "sell otF' and "close up," reminds us of an anecdote: A shopkeeper who had stuck up a notice in glaring capitals, "Selling off; must close on Saturday," was asked by a friend, " Are you selling off?" " Yes. all the shopkeepers'are selling off, aint they?" "But must vcu close on Saturday?" "To be Sure; vou wouldn't have me keep open on Sunday !" The Portland Iron Works has commenced of Iluie's patent gang plows. The Oregonian leari that the proprietors Itave been in with Mr. Douthitt of Linn county, with a viewto mak- ing an arrangement with him for the manu- facture of his patent, should it be found su- perior, as is claimed, to the other gang plows uow in use. Notwithstanding the immense freights taken by the Montana, Orijlamme. and Pacific, there is a large amount yet in store enough it. is said, to load two steamers which must wjt for the return oLthe steamers. By that time freights of the Upper Willamette will 0i have accumulated so as to create another grand jam at Portland. " Capt.

A. Hayward, of California, who visited Oregon and Puget Sound last summer, has purchased a large interest in the Oregon Steam Navigation Company. Col. Hayward is as noted for the judicious distribution of his wealth, as is tne worthy A. T. Stewart of New York. We want thousands like him in Oregon, and con- gratulate the State upon his appearance in financial circles here. Sleepixo Around Loose. Previous to the departure of the California steosners from Portland, on Tuesday, it was said that the hotels could not accomodate the people that hundreds of men slept in arm chairs about the different hotel fires. We recollect that in the early days of Minne- sota it was customary with hotel keepers, when the rush was so great, to take sleep- ers from their horizontal positions, when under the influence of the first nap, and hang them up to make room lor new com- ers I " We can show the papers."' A Public Promenade. In the original plat of Oregon City, all the open or va- cant space fronting on lots and blocks west of High street, have "been donated for the use of a public promenade. This was truly a wise provision. The principal por- tion of residences in Oregon City will eventually be upon the blult, and the view is most commanding for miles up and down the river. Even now, in its primi- tive state, a grand sight is presented to the public from this promenade. New Hose Carriage. We are pleased to know that the experiments with a paid fire department at San Francisco results in good somewhere. "It's an ill wind that blows nobody good' The disbandment of Rincon Hose Company has placed .Wi- llamette No. I, of Portland, in possession of the finest four wheeled. Silver Mounted Hose Carriage upon the Coast, at a nomi- nal figure. No. 1 deserved it, if we do say so from experience. NotSo. The Bulletin of the 3d inst., noticing the arrival of the Oregonian at San Francisco, says. "Owing to the de- cline in the Oregon" trade, it is stated that the ship will be offered lor sale." If there is any decline in the Oregon trade, from w-ha- it was when the Oregonian was put upon the stocks, we don't know it. Prices have declined, but business has more than doubled. Coal. We have at least twenty times noted reportedodiscoveries of coal in Ore- gon during the past four years, and yet we get our supplies by importation. Mr. Foley, a prospector, assures the Oregonian that coal has recently been discovered in Tillamook county. These mines should be worked, tor show to the world practically that Oregon can produce coal. From Mr. J.J. Dawson, of Tillamook, we are in- formed that the Nehalem company have commenced operations. New Branch Mint, The Secretary of the Treasury has purchased, at a cost of $100,000, a lot iu San Francisco for the new. branch Mint. Poor Oregon is left out in the cold again, to shiver and freeze for the want of just action to place her in proper garb for an appearance before the world. When will Oregon be attended to ? That's the question. Bellixoham Bay Mixes. The Pacific Tribune is informed that operations are stopped at these mines and will probably not be resumed until spring. The fires are still raging below and the waters of the bay are being turned in to drown it out It is the intention soon to sink anoth- er shaft on the same lead. SrciAL Agext. The Oiympia Standard pays that the appointment of B. O. Truman does not deprive Mr. Q. A. Brooks of his office. The duties of the two offices are distinct and separate.

More op Tillamook. From Mr. J. J.Dawson, of Tillamook Bar, we are ed

that the schooner J. C. Championhas more than she can do, to bring out theproducts of that region his season. Tonsof prime butter are there now awaitingshipment He is confident that one of thelate discoveries in that vicinity is of a leadmine. With coal, tin, lead, and other min-

erals, as well as a most excellent qualityof farming land, Tillamook is truly a prom-ising part of our State for settlement. Thesalmon fishery there will be improved

largely next season, as the catch will show.

The road from Grand Iionde agency to

Tillamook i3 to be opened, another year.

Chaxce for Philanthropists. TheUnionist says the Library of the StatePenitentiary consists of four or five greasybacked Bibles, about the same number ofhymn books and two or three miscellane-ous religious works, all of which look asthough they had descended in a regularline through generations of tallow chand-lers since the time of King James' transla-tion. Here 13 certainly an opportunity forthe exercise of a little genuine Christiancharity. The State should furnish a libra

Trip to Portland.A trip to Portland is a mere bagatelle

now while it lasts, but were the boats run-in- g

twice a ofay, regularly and constantly,it would increase travel and possibly addto the profits oP the company. Two orthree new sights there strike attention.The Court House and Carter's Block arefine monuments of publie spirit, skill inarchitecture, and show the existence ofpiles of money for such use. The situationof the Court House is superior ; the plazain front is now "we cared for by tasty im-

provements, and both have a beauty andfreshness quite equal to the most prosper-

ous and ambitious little cities. The out--

side of the Court Ifyuse has the effect of

simple grandeur, but tfiat order re in-

tended In its structure-i- t is needless to in- -(O)

quire. In building now everywhere, allorders are used and made to constitute,each its share, both in general shape anddeails. The dome is odd in form and or-

nament, looking like an inverted gobletThe bulls' eyes or port holes, may be ac-

counted for by men's hejids of late havingrun so much on war and turretted moni-

tors. The color seems intended for brownsandstone, but as no such material existsin tbjis country any lighter1 neutral tintwould have been neai good taste. Thebuilding was inaugurated b the last Cir-

cuit Court. The court room is immense,the dome absorbing: all sound, so thatmoderate tones and voices pitchedKforother places, can scarcely be heard closeby. The judge's seat is formed after theinevitable pulpit of a Presbyterian meet-ing house : the bar is perhaps large enougrhfor those engaged at any one time, but thefurniture is quite beneath the place andthe structure. The tables and chairs aresuch as the meanest whisky shop in ownafibrds, but possibly it was intended tosave the shock of the too sudden transitionto the practitioners, from such places toone of decency and comfort. FatherJackson's raw hide seats on maple frameswould be a decided improvement. TheCounty Court room is ornamented with thedirty broken debris of the old court room,the whole of which would scarcely sell forsix bits at auction. All the rooms arespacious, elegant, well ventilated, andquite sufficient in number for all the offices.The building and all finishing outside willcost over eighty thousand dollars. It isprincipally built by that spunky little city,and yet is owns no place for the transac-tion of its own municipal affairs. Someday a Town Hall will be adopted in aspasm, and one erected in duplicate ofthis or of grander dimensions. Brick andmortar are becoming popular, and tjoardhouses must measurablv cease. Twobeautiful streets run the length of theplace, beside quite a number fsom theriver oacic au wen paved clone in aa hurry, on contract, and many of themrequiring repairs already. Before leavingthe Court House we ought to say that theplan is Burton's, but he was underbid atthe letting by Clark & Goodenough, whobecame the architects. The basement isthe prison, an arrangement that may do,although it is a queer feature in a buildingdevoted to justice or religion. Some wag-sai-

d

it was modeled after some of the oldSpanish Inquisition establishments. It isto be hoped there is no trap door in thefloor of the bar. A virtuous professionmight lose some of its brightest ornamentswith most sudden and inconvenient dis-

patch. Carter's Block is the beauty spotin Oregon, and would grace any city inthe world. The architect is Mr. Nestor.He will not soon be called on for a similarone, but the style can be adopted in plain-er structures.

A Valuable Ixstitutiox. "We are toldthat as" college'' is an establishment oredifice appropriate to the use of studentswho are acquiring the languages andsciences. We recollect, in year gone by ;

Bryant and Strattoiw chain" of Commer-cial Colleges in Eastern cities and weremember the benefits conferred by that" chain," extending from St. Louis to NewYork. The National College of Businessand Commerce, lately established in Port-land is just such an Institution. It haslong been wanted in Oregon, and we arepleased to note that its success is sure.Its establishment is one of those great en-

terprises which are not only of incalcula-ble value to the young and risiDg gener-ation, but it affords facilities for men ofmature age already engaged in business,to acquire knowledge without which mer-chandising is simply agame of chance.The Portland Business and CommercialCollege is being well attended by studentsfrom every part of the State. Persons de-

siring to be informed regarding terms oftuition, are referred to advertisement inthis paper, and for further particulars ad-dress the President, Mr. M. K. Lauden- -slager. -

Tillamook Products. Capt. Hedges ofthis county, formerly Indian Agent, usedto tell a story of a Tillamook cabbagewhich was so large that it could notetaken whole through an ordinary door.This story, says the Oregonian, is no ex-aggeration, as Mr. Foley informs that paperthat he has seen this year quite as large.

The rAFEIt Mill. Maj. Davenport ofthis city has been employed as foreman ofthe work at the paper mill at Oregon Citv.

lumbia Press, published at Umatilla byDow & Avery, has reached us. It is thesame size as the Enterprise, is a neatlooking sheet but bitterly Democratic inpolitics.

Specie Payments. It appears that themajority of the Senate Finance Committeeand the House Ways and Means Committeeare favorable to Secretary McCulloch'srecommendations", excepting the early re-sumption of specie payment.

Pain Killer, taken internally, should beadulterated with mjlk or water, and sweet-ened with sugar if desired, or made into asyrup with molasses. For a Cough, a fewdrops on sugar eaten will be more effec-tive than anything else. For Sore Throat,gargle the throat with a mixture of PainKilh-- r and water, and relief is immediateand the cure positive.

It should not be forgotten that the PainKiller is equally as good to take internally,as to use externally. Each bottle is wrap-ped with full directions for it3 use. Pleaseread the printed directions;.

It contains over three million noaof rich aratteland. and if diride.iof one hundred and sixty acres each, wnmdeasily accommodate a rul community ofonehSndred thousand souls,- - Add to'thiithe number naturally engaged in other pnr- -

suits, either professional or meclnical, andthe residents of cities, and wevould findthis Valley may naturally maintain a popula-tion of two hundred thousand, dependent'entirely upon its own resources. LetMtachieve progress in manufactures, as we be-lieve it will, and eventually it will contain amuch larger number than that, and the childis born that, shall live to see it. Referringto the census of 1863 again, we find thateven the richest agricultural counties, such

(Fas Ling) Lane and Marion, have not overone acre in hlteen in cultivation, and the lowprice of land through thi Valley enablesany man with very moderate "means topurchase a good farm and make a pleasanthome. It is a fault with Oregonians thatthey generally own too much land. Fortyacres well improved can be made more valu-ab'- e

and productive ian a mile square ofland not properly cared for, and in manycountries forty acres is considered no meanfarm. The prospect of the completion ofthe Central Pacific Railroad introduces a newera one ofJ progress ; an era when rail-roads will begin" to be appreciated, theirnecessity felt and their construction beeun.This will extend eVh to us bring the ironhorse fioui the Sacramento to the Columbia.We have particularly cited the Willamettecountry and its census returns to show thatit can accommodate with ease a large popu-lation, not that it is the only region of valuein the State. Even here, where its popula-tion is most dense, it might increase fourfold and not occupy the territory, and thecultivation of four times the (Soil now tilledwould leave nearly three-fourth- s of the val-ley unproductive. We wani the outsideworld to see there is room among us, evenin the best settlements, and we desire toshow them inducements to come here andhelp build up our State. Outside this val-ley can be found as much more valley land,fuily as productive, sind neither so wellsettled or cultivated. To the south sire thefine valleys of Rogue River and Umpqu ;along the coast and on the Columbia river isa considerable extent of good agriculturalland, and east of the mountains are the val-leys of Umatilla and Walla Walla, GrandRondo and J'owder River, besides manysmaller spots and much more not yet open-ed to the inarch of civil zr.tion. These dif-ferent sections are more valuable becauseseparate. We of the Willamette have theadvantage of a comim rce that can use oursurplus product.?, while to the south andeast are rich mining districts that require tobe fed, and these other agricultural landslie contiguous to ihem. "Eventually thisState caii and will contain, a m&lion inhabi-tants not in our time, but inur children's.Then railroads will traverse over valleysand span the continent on the Northernroute ; then every water-fal- l will cause thehum of spindles; the timber of our forestsbe made useful in many ways, and the in- -ventive genius of our people vie with theingenuity of Yankee land.

The recordpf the Circuit Court will fur-nish evidence of what the Chinese popula-tion is costing the county of Multnomah.There have been a great number of Celestialstried for one crime and another, occupyingthe time of the Court for not less than ninedays already. Without saying anything ofthose cases in which the defendant has beendischarged and iu which the county has topay the ccsts of trial, the time of the Courtin Chinese trials at this term alone has costnot less than $000, and if the approximatecosts of trial be added, we will have not lessthan $1,500. Tin's is likely to go on increasing instead of diminishing, and we submitthat it is a matter vhich calls for serioustaiught.

The farmers tf Birch creek, says the Pressof Umatilla, have threshc 30,000 bushels ofgrain this year, and am trying the uplandsfor fall wheat, and if it produces well, whichthere is every reason to believe, they can pro-duce 300,000.

, The following account of financial mattersand history of Oregon's first and last mintwill be read with interest: It is from theten of Mr. J. G. Campbell of Oregon City,under date of August 4th, 1S66, and may befound in the report of the Secretary ofState: "Sir In reply to yours of the 17thult., requesting a history of the mint estab-lishment in 1849, I give you a brief account.Upon the discovery of the gold mines and theconsequent rush of miners, for nearly everyman that went to California at that time be-

came aSiiiner, and the great demand for sup-plies to clothe and feed them, Oregou verynaturally sent a great number of her popu-lation, together with all the supplies thatshe could spare from her immediate wants,receiving in turn a large amount of golddust of the most superior quality, taken fromthe Feather and Yuba rivers principally.Nearly every man brought gold dust withhim on his return to Oregon, and, finding

that great annoyance and waste accompanied

the payments of small sums in dust, wasnaturally anxious to dispose of sufficiency ofdust for coin f& meet their demands. Therebeing but littIe9eoin in the country at thattimefcaused an influx from the nearest portswhere it could be obtained, viz: SouthAmerica; and as the debasement of the cur-rency of nearly all of the South AmericanStates was great and notorious, so much so,in fact, that upon my return from the At-

lantic side in the latter part of 184", beforethe gold mines were discovered, they did not

ma, twenty-hv- e of their nominal quarters ofa dollar iu exchange for a United States halfeagle command when you take into consid-eration that a very large amount of golddust, the intrinsic value ot which was betweeneighteen and nineteen dollars per ounce,payable in this debasedfcouth American coinat the rate of four of these nominal quartersof a dollar to the dollar, you wil see at oncethe enormous loss Oregon wasuffet ingthe double discouilfPon the gold and coin. Asmall party of gentlemen met at the counting room &f Campbell & Smith to take theforegoing matter into consideration, andconcluded, for the general benefit of thecountry, to form a company fo.he purposeof coining the dust into a shape that wouldbe otpar value at any place where gold coinwas used. The names of the parties thatpaid for the machinery, dies, etc., and thatincurred and lost the whole expenses of thetransaction were Kilborne, Magf-ude.-- Tay-lor, Rector, Campbell & Smith. xhe designof the dies was drawn by myself at the firstmeeting of the company, and immediatelyadopted as being appropriate. The tariffon goods exchanged by the Hudson BayCompany for furs (of which beaver moneywas the main item in Oregon(J)being muchless than for coin, beaver orders on the Hud-son Bay Company were considered the bestmoney in the country. As soon as we com-menced making the coin, gold dust rose tosixteen dollars per ounce, "at which rate weexchanged our dust for coin, wt.n so re-

quested. After having issued some tenthousand dollars, and broken both our cruci-bles (we had with much trouble only beenable to procure two), and having effectedour influx of South American currency, andevery piece that we coined beinyr at the ex-pense of the company, we concluded to ceaseoperations, and did so. I send you an assaymadefor mo at the U. S. Mint at "Philadelphiam j ou ; me nrst mentioned on the memorandum was the clippings of the last coining.and tSe- contents of our last crucible when Itbroke, together with some very heavy fineYuba dust ; the second is our Oregon beavercoin, and I assure you that every coin in thisassay was so abraded, that the design wasahnost(ibdistin:ruishab!e, from tho wear bycontact with alloyed, and, of course, ha' dercoin. I also seud you the dies, which, ifyon see proper, I would like to have deposit-ed with the $10 piece you alluded to. Theywere made by W. II. Rector d HamiltonCampbell in Oregon."

One prolific source of Chinese crime, saysthe Oregonian, arises from the existenceamong them of a system of slavery, quite asoojeciionaole rs the African svstem anywhere. Men and women arc bourht and soldin Portland hundreds of dollars beiug some-times paid for a slave of commonrade, andas high as perhaps a thousand dollars for anextra one. Quito a large proportion of theChinese prostitutes are the slaves of menwho compel them to follow that degradingvocation for the enrichment of Celestial aris-tocrats. Men of money among them whoownIavcs, require them to produce a statedamott'nt of money for a stated period andthe fear of punishment for failure often in-

duces the slave to resort to larceny andother crimes. Our public authorities shouldsee to it that the system be ruest thoroughlybroken up.

Lambert, thc robber of Collector Adams,escaped from the New York Toombs on thenight of November 1st. The says hewas kept in on e of the comfortable roomson the main Uoor of thej)building, a speciesof reserved apartments for respectableper-so- u

The Oregonian says that the assessed valueof property in Multnomah counj) for 1S6-1- ,

was 4v331,9S0 on which there was paid aproperty ta3of $12,905 7'.). In 1865, the as-

sessed valuation was on whichthe tax paid amounted f) $24,845 10. Mult-nomah has the largest property valuation ofany county in the State, nd in 18(55, wasthe third county in population, Marion ex-ceeding her UtPjOSS and Linn by 1323. Theproperty valuation of Multnomah was lastyear greater than Marion by SI ,572,603, andgreater than Linn by $2,031,475.

The Herald is informed that the O. S. N.Company have men employed running wooddown the Payette river, to be used next sum-mer by the steamer Shoshone. The loggrenow nearly all down, and workmen are en-gaged splitting and cording the wood at theregular landing place. The coal at Olds'Ferry will also be used on the Shoshone, andworkmen are engaged developing the mineso as to reach the natural and perfect strata.The steamer can go to,vthin a few miles ofthe Salmon Falls.

The stage from Canyon City arrived at theDalles on Friday evening. The Indis arestill committing degradations on the road.Last week a pack train was stolen about onemile from Camp Watson. The men did notat first believe the Indians had stolen theanimals, owing to their close proximity toCamp Watson, but were soon (bnxinced ofthe fact from the signs in the neighborhood.Col. Baker, as soon" as the robbery wa re-

ported to him, sent a detachment of soldiersm pursuit of the Indians.

The Herald of Sunday "noticed" one hun-dred barrels of flour at McCraken, Jlernll fc

Co.'s, which had been put up iu good oakbarrels, hooped with wooden hoops. Thatreally begins to look like civilization. Forhome use there is not a family to be foundin Oregon, who came from east of the Missouri, who will not prefer barrels to sacks.We regret that the Herald did not finish theitem ancLteil us where those barrels camefrom vlf?i lipr "rnuntl lir(f)' fl.,f ' .1

(jAvhat " 106 superfine" costs.The great number of merchants in this

State who are endeavoring to "sell otF' and"close up," reminds us of an anecdote: Ashopkeeper who had stuck up a notice inglaring capitals, "Selling off; must close onSaturday," was asked by a friend, " Are youselling off?" " Yes. all the shopkeepers'areselling off, aint they?" "But must vcuclose on Saturday?" "To be Sure; vouwouldn't have me keep open on Sunday !"

The Portland Iron Works has commencedof Iluie's patent gang plows.

The Oregonian leari that the proprietorsItave been in with Mr.Douthitt of Linn county, with a viewto mak-ing an arrangement with him for the manu-facture of his patent, should it be found su-perior, as is claimed, to the other gang plowsuow in use.

Notwithstanding the immense freightstaken by the Montana, Orijlamme. and Pacific,there is a large amount yet in store enoughit. is said, to load two steamers which mustwjt for the return oLthe steamers. By thattime freights of the Upper Willamette will

0ihave accumulated so as to create anothergrand jam at Portland.

Change in the O. S. X. Co. It is report-ed that Col. A. Hayward, of California,who visited Oregon and Puget Sound lastsummer, has purchased a large interest inthe Oregon Steam Navigation Company.Col. Hayward is as noted for the judiciousdistribution of his wealth, as is tne worthyA. T. Stewart of New York. We wantthousands like him in Oregon, and con-gratulate the State upon his appearancein financial circles here.

Sleepixo Around Loose. Previous tothe departure of the California steosnersfrom Portland, on Tuesday, it was saidthat the hotels could not accomodate thepeople that hundreds of men slept in armchairs about the different hotel fires. Werecollect that in the early days of Minne-sota it was customary with hotel keepers,when the rush was so great, to take sleep-ers from their horizontal positions, whenunder the influence of the first nap, andhang them up to make room lor new com-ers I " We can show the papers."'

A Public Promenade. In the originalplat of Oregon City, all the open or va-

cant space fronting on lots and blockswest of High street, have "been donated forthe use of a public promenade. This wastruly a wise provision. The principal por-tion of residences in Oregon City willeventually be upon the blult, and the viewis most commanding for miles up anddown the river. Even now, in its primi-tive state, a grand sight is presented to thepublic from this promenade.

New Hose Carriage. We are pleasedto know that the experiments with a paidfire department at San Francisco resultsin good somewhere. "It's an ill wind thatblows nobody good' The disbandmentof Rincon Hose Company has placed .Wi-llamette No. I, of Portland, in possession ofthe finest four wheeled. Silver MountedHose Carriage upon the Coast, at a nomi-nal figure. No. 1 deserved it, if we do sayso from experience.

NotSo. The Bulletin of the 3d inst.,noticing the arrival of the Oregonian atSan Francisco, says. "Owing to the de-cline in the Oregon" trade, it is stated thatthe ship will be offered lor sale." If thereis any decline in the Oregon trade, fromw-ha- it was when the Oregonian was putupon the stocks, we don't know it. Priceshave declined, but business has more thandoubled.

Coal. We have at least twenty timesnoted reportedodiscoveries of coal in Ore-

gon during the past four years, and yetwe get our supplies by importation. Mr.Foley, a prospector, assures the Oregonianthat coal has recently been discovered inTillamook county. These mines should beworked, tor show to the world practicallythat Oregon can produce coal. From Mr.J.J. Dawson, of Tillamook, we are in-

formed that the Nehalem company havecommenced operations.

New Branch Mint, The Secretary ofthe Treasury has purchased, at a cost of$100,000, a lot iu San Francisco for thenew. branch Mint. Poor Oregon is leftout in the cold again, to shiver and freezefor the want of just action to place her inproper garb for an appearance before theworld. When will Oregon be attendedto ? That's the question.

Bellixoham Bay Mixes. The PacificTribune is informed that operations arestopped at these mines and will probablynot be resumed until spring. The firesare still raging below and the waters ofthe bay are being turned in to drown itout It is the intention soon to sink anoth-er shaft on the same lead.
