NOTICES OLE THE Press.

MOUNT VERNON REcoRD.-The first num-
Der Of which we received a week or two
since, is the title ola neat little quorto
sheet issued monthly in Philadelphia by
the Mount Vernon ladies association and
edited by +. l. Watson Esq.
1t is devoted to the raising of sufficient
fund tocomplcte thepurchaseof of the home
Of the Immortal Washington, for the pur
pose Of making it the property of the ma
ton. 1t may seem u singular enterprise
to engross the entire energies of news
paper, yet we think it a good idea.
The purchase of the sacred spot which
once constituted the home of that great
and good man, where his wise reflections
almost divine in the purity were iudulg-
ed, where his plans for the welfare of his
beloved country sublime in their grandeur
and patriotism were matured, to be forev-
er the actual inheritance of the millions
not yet born, who will hereafter enjoy
the blessings procured by his wisdom and
self-sacriiicing devotion, and consecrated
a life 50 pure and simple yet 50 dignifed,
SO devoid of all selfshness and lust of
power or wealth, is one of the noblest
ideas of this enlightened age And we
sincerely hope it may be consumated.
The object of the Record is to furnish
statistical information from time to time
Of the condition and progress of the labors
Of the association which is composed al
most exclusively of ladies, and to procure
contributions. We think respectable
contribution could be raised in our county
for the purpose, if tie effort were made
Will not some of our patriotic ladies un
dertalle to do it ?

A Steamer on the Erie Canal.

A steamboat has been placed on this great
public work to test the feasibility Of using
steam in Canal navigation. Her perform
ance astonished and gratifed every one
The Rochester Dcmocratam American says
Yesterday Tuesday morning early,
her engine was fired up, and she passed
on her way eastward. Her performance
in the enlarged canal was such as to graft,
fly every one who had been looking for
the advent of some craft of this kind, to
settle forever the question of rivalry be-
tween the iron road and the water-coursc.
The Mach is about the size of a large ca
nal-boat, nearly filling the locks through
which she passes, and carries 400 barrels
of flour. She is moved by screw propel.
Ter, sunk at the stern. Going at the rate OF
four or five miles per hour (about the speed
of the old! d!passenger packets no swell is
caused that can do any injury to the canal
banks; even when starting no more dis
turbancc is caused in the water than was
usual when one of the fast packets had
cast loose, and her three horses had given
the first motion to those once much adj
mired vessels. The captain of the Mach
regards this trip as an experiment, and is
quite reserved as to any opinion the con-
duct of his steamer may have given him,
AS to fuel, about one ton and a-half per
diem, in trip of say ninety miles, this is
our Town estimate is burned-about five
dollars day for fuel The question of e.
economy is an important one, and will be
etiectually solved in the trip round"
This is indeed an important experiment.
The necessity to complete with railroads,
is to be able to run steamers which shall
materially increase speed Of travel with
out injuring the bank of the canal. The
great contest between these two classes of
transportation depends upon the success
of this experiment.

THE BATTLE OF SPOKANE RIVER

THE BATTLE OF SPOKANE RIVER.
On our outside page will be found an
interesting letter, which we copy from the
Bell efonto Whig from one ofthe officers of
Col. Steptoe's command describing their
enga gment with a large lody of Indians
at Spokane river on the 18th of May last
BY the letter of Lieut.. Gregg, it will be
seen that Col. Steptoes force did not a.
mount to over $50 men, while the enemy
numbered 1900 hundred warriors, eight
hundred of whom " ere armed with rifles.
From the description given, it must have
been one Of the most desperate Indian bat
ties on record The red men, says the
writer, "fought like white men, and prov
ed themselves far superior skirmishers :"
while the loss of many of their warriors
made them furious as demons.
From the evidently truthful statement
Of this letter, no blame can attach to Col.
Steptoe for want of vigilance or military
skill. He was not even drawn into an
ambuscade, but was attacked by body of
treacherous Indians whom he expected to
meet and treat as friends. The bearing
of the troops seems to have been brave in
the extreme; for one whole day they held
at bay force of ten times their number,
and only decided to retreat when their
ammunition was expended.
1t is exceedingly unfortunate that our
relations with the Indians of Oregon and
Washington are assuming so hostile an at
titude. The peace and prosperity of those
two great fields of American enterprise
will be very much interrupted thereby,
and many lives sacrificed before those TN.
lutorod children OF the forest can be sub
dued or pacifed. And this is not all -
every war in which they are engaged will
tend toward their final cxtinguishment,
and ere many years this most remarkable
of all the races of men who ever inhabited
the earth, will live only in the history of
the country and in its traditionary ro-
nance.

OUR PoLIrICAL PRosPECTs.-As means
of helping along their own desperate cause,
the opposition are striving to create an inn
preston that the Democratic party is going
to be defeated at the coming election. We
do not think they will succeed in dampen-
ing the ardor of any members of our party
by such talk as this. 1t is a very common
thing for the opposition to predict our de-
feat, but it is not quite SO common for
them to defeat us. If we had believed
them in 1886, we would have abandon ed
the field without a contest. According to
them the whole country was rising against
the Democracy. But at the polls told diff
terent story. The Democratic party was
sustained, whilst our boasting adversarics
met II rebu<e that broke their organi2a-
tion, andsent them begging for anew party
and a new name.
THERE'S nothing in thes signs of the times
to indicate disaster to the Democratic par
ty; and we warn our friends against being
imposed upon by the vain boastirg of the
enemy. We are as strong as ever, and we
have but to put forth our arm to lay hold
of victory. Our organization is unbrokcn
and unimpaired; thopeoplerepose their an
cient faith in the purity and justice of our
long-triedprinciples, and every thing points
to our triumphant success on the second
Tues day in October. Valley Spirit
