Ba- In reply to communication this morning
received we take occasion to state that the pres
ent editor of this paper possessed but one-third
of it up to the 28th of January last that the
control of tioo-trds passed into the hands of the
Messrs. Green in December; that they had the
exclusive management Of its editorial columns with
out the present editors participation or acqui-
escence in the course pursued but in defiance of
his remonstrances; that to desert and sacrifice
his interest, on the one hand, or to preserve it
and endeayor to obtain the entire control, on the
other, were his only alternatives that he adopted
the latter, and, soon as it was possible for him
to do 80, procured the withdrawal of the gentle
men named, and at once restored the paper to
the character 1t has always sustained when under
his guidance. These facts we're, from day to day,
known and understood by many persons; and it
was on the assurance of a number of gentlemen
of high responsibility that the present editor
would be protected from public Misrepresentation
that he ever continued connected with the con-
Germ, and prevented its perishiDg, or being per-
manently devoted to objects foreign from those
he had in view.

In 1888 Gen, Scott was sent by the President
to the Canada frontier, then in state Of fearful
excitement on account of the burning Of the Caro-
line within the American territory. The whole
population Of northern New York seemed about
tomarch into Canada to avenge the wrong which
had been done to the national honor. The object
Of the administration was to preserve the peace
between the two nations until pending difficulties
could be settled by negotiation. For this pur-
pose Scott was sent to the frontier. There he
labored night and day, passing rapidly from point
to point, experimenting and directing the actions
both of the military and the civil authorities and
frequently, along q line Of eight hundred miles,
addressing immense gatherings of the excited cti-
tens. He succeeded in his mission beyond the
expectations Of the most sanguine. The peace Of
the country was preserved.
During the same year he was ordered to the
delicate service Of removing the Cherokee nation
beyond the Mississippi. Here he displayed at
once the highest degree Of energy, sagacity, and
humanity.
The leading journals Of the day were filed
with encomiums upon the conduct of Scott in
| these services. The National IntelliEencer of
| September 9th, 1885, says: "The manner in
which this gallant officer has acquitted himself
within the last year upon our Canada frontier,
and lately among the Cberokees, has excited the
universal admiration and gratitude Of the whole
nation"
In 1889 arose the Northeastern Boundary
difficulty. The disputed territory was about to
become the battle-ground between the troops OF
Maine and New Brunswick. War was considered
inevitable. In this crisis General Scott was
again deputed by the government to calm the
rising storm. His able services on that occasion
showed him to be possessed of the highest talents
as . statesman and diplomatist. A war con-
sidered inevitable was prevented--the honor of
the country preseryed--and Scott returned with
fresh laurels upon his brow and the hero Of
Lundy's Lane" was hailed on oil sides as the
:" Great PacJfcator."

As a settled bachelor in this country, al
low me TO say to the immigrants Of the pres
cnt season, that, inmy humble opinion, those
who have come from two to three thousand
miles TO find a HOME, and then locate them
selves without coming 10 look at the Puget
Sound country, will see the day that they
will rue their choice. Here is large, un-
occupied country, with plenty of timber for
all useful and mercantile purposes-plenty
Of all kinds of fsh-clams and oysters in
profusion-a climate that is calculated to
guarantee to all permanent settlers a reason
able term Of lifo,to enjoy the natural bless
ings Of the country and with commend
able share Of toll, moy add 10 these the best
oflIeavcn's gifts to elrmg man, viz; peace,
plenty, and continual health. Much is said
about new countries, but think this beats
them all for a bounteous profusion Of these
advantages. .
see by notice Of your "table," that
that "largo onion" " is hard 10 beat, if not
too strong to eat. No doubt you are sur
prised at so strong an evidence of the pro
ducts of our soil, as you have but lately
come from the Willamette valley where 50
many good things are not allowed to editors,
But re know how to appreciate all good and
profitable things, institutions, and newspa-

CurPER sHr GAzELLE.-This hne clip
pet ship, though meeting with very seri-
Gus accident arrivedin our harbor yesterday
after a passage Of 135 days. Upon the eec-
ond day oul from New York, a sailor named
John Smith fell overheard aud was drown
ed. The Gazellc Iell New York on the 18th
Of May, and when fifty three days out in
latitude 80 deg. south and longitude 70 deg.
west, came into collision with a Spanish
ship which caused great damages. 1t wOs
about half past -four O'clock in the morning,
dark as pitch and blowing a gale. BY this
accident the Gazelle lost her bowsprit, e1t-
water, Stem, stafboafd calhSad, all The head
stays, bowsPrit gear and jibs, taking of con-
siderable copper and ehafng the beds. This
caused The vessel to make about ten inches
per hour, though the pumps easily kept her
free. The Spanish vessel was sgnalized
the next day, bot did not show any signs of
distress. The Captain ihinks that she must
have sustained some injury A regular
watch was kept on the Gazelie who gave
the alarm in time to ease off the vessel
little, or else the collision would have been
50 great as to sink both vessels. Taking in
10 consideration this accident, the passage ls
an excellent one. II is thought that when
lghlened up she may be repaired in this
port.-IAha California. Oct 2dy

A WoNDrR.-A According to some Italian
journals, a new organized being has been dis
covered In the interior Of Africa, which
seems to form an intermediate link between
vegetable and animal life. This singular
production has the shape of a spotted scr
pent. II drags itself along on the ground,
and, instead of a head has q flower, shaped
like bell, which contains a viacious liquid.
Flies and other insects, attracted by the
smell of the juice, enter into the flower,
where they are caught by the adhesive mat
ter. The flower then closes and remains
shut until the prisoners are bruised and
transformed into chyle. The indigestiblc
portions, such as the head and wings, arc
thrown out by two aspired openings. The
vegetable serpent has a skin resembling
leaves, a white and soft flesh, and instead Of
a bony skeleton, cartilagonous frame filled
with yellow marrow. The natives consid-
er IT delicious food, at least 50 says the pa
per from which we copy the above, but we
considered the whole story fabrication. -
