Majority for Logan, Ii

The above gives the returns from every
county except Curry, in which the Repub-
licans were confident of majority. In
Benton county, giving 300 majority for
Stout, the election is said to have been j.
legal. so that there seems to he no doubt
but that Logan will get the seat in Con-
cress. Hurrah for Oregon.

Mr. Aynrs BALpwlS has put his mill

Mr.. AyREs BALDWIN has put his mill in
first rate repair, and is now prepared to
grind wheat or corn for customers. The
water power which drives the machinery
is sufficient, we are assured, to keep the
mill running the year round. Those who
have recently had grinding done at this
mill are well pleased both with TIE quail
ty and quantity Of the -four. Mr.. B., we
understand, guarantees his customers 40
lbs. superior -four for every bushei Of good
wheat.

while reforners in England are endeaVourng to equal
za orosentaton-to cut off rotten boroughs, and IN
some measure at least to approximate fair adjustment
Of power the tendency in our own country has oeen
already too much the other way and threatens to become
even more so.
Some sanguine people talk about the growth OF the
States in number until have any number, from flty
to an hundred Now the land is not there to make them
out Of The central plateau of the American continent
is nearly desert and that and broken, mountainous
region is about all that remains to carve these mutltu-
dpous States and territories out Of If these proposed
territories are prematurey carved out they must con-
tinue to be for very many years an oppressive
burden upon the federal treasury, and afterwards
they can be squeezed in as States, they will really
be a sort of squad of rotten boroughs, tor with
hardly enough population to entte them one
tive each in the popular branch othe national legislature
they will have representation in the Senate equal to
the Oldest and most popuous of the States and that too
when there is really chance Of their ever growing up
to the dimensions of honest statehood for the thing Is
physically impossible Climate soil and geographical
position preclude the possibility of their supporting any
considerable population.

Modern Warfare.

In prospect of the possible and, indeed probable col
siOn in Europe the papers have been INDUCING IN va
rous specuatons with reference to the effect Of the
Gently invented proectiles and the introduction of
steam as motive power for ships OF war and for the
conveyance Of troops and munitions of war on land.
That these things must have an effect and most I'M
portant one is beyond dispute But mere mechanical
or theoretical changes do not always produce precisely
the kind of effect anticipated. The great mechanical
power and wealth of England and France did not do
quite so much in the Crmea had been looked for and
predicted neither did their tremendous fleets do anything
more than, by shutting up the Russian Navy, keep
the seas open for the transportation of troops and ma
terals to the seat of war. Against Notifications and
land batteries they poweress. The genius of Tod
eben backed of course by the vast physical power of
the Russian Empire, kept them at bay by the inert
resistance of earthen entertainments well manned and
we'll fought Whether similar line of defences, modi-
fed by the genius of such masters of war, might not
render nugatoy the utmost exerons Of the new arte
ry remains to be seen and actual alone put all
these things to the only satisfactory esthat of actual

SEVENTEEN YEAR LOCUsTs-rhe following statement
of the grOundesness of fears TO the devastation to be
committed by the seventeen year locusts which, it is
announced, will appear at the South this year. will be
read with interest by our agrculturasts. We copy
from the New York Journal Of Commerce:
In Jager's Life Of North American Insects" work
recently published is brief sketch OF the history and
habits of this species of locust in which the assertion
that they make their appearance only in seventeen
years, pronounced erroneous, we'll that they
destructive to vegetation The writer states that he
has observed them yearly for twenty successve years
though there is great difference in their numbers in
different years The is true of other insects, par
ticulary rose-bugs Some years overloaded with
them and again in Others there are scarcely any. Yet
there are instances where The ocustS have been observed
in the same place only after an interval OF several years
perhaps seventeen while during this interval they have
been very abundant in other localities They are how
ever yearly in place another. With regard
to the notion that these insects very destructive
vegetation the writer asserts that they are harmless
He says
They cannot be caSsed among the injurious insects
for they cannot deyOur vegetables and fruits like
other insects, because they have mouth and has
been said before they suck with their shouts only the
dew of leaves for their nourshment during the two short
months Of their existence in their perfect FORM Even
in their suberranean abode during the condition Of lar
vac although feeding upon the roots of s,vera plants
their injury to vegetation IS very tritliDg
Should these locuSts make their appearance as pre-.
dcted the farmers will have opportunity Of testing
the correctness of the latter statement.

DEATH OF THE KENTUCKY GANr.-James Porter,
the famous Kentucky giant died at his residence in Port
land KY, Sunday night in the eth year Of his age.
He was seven feet nine inches il height, and we
believe the taest in the world He died ofdisease
of the heart. The Louisville Democrat says of him:
1t is remarkable that for the first fourteen years of
his life he small for his age much that he
often engaged to ride the old track where the
Elm-tree Garden is. AT seventeen he was appren-
ticed at coopering and his remarkable gre with
ced 1t is stated that the most be ever grew in one
week was inch. It was his habit, while growing,
to measure every Saturday night and his testimony
and that of his family and friends, is evidence of this
remarkable fact
Mr.. Porter soon got so tail that it impossible to
cooper barrels, and he was employed on hogsheads--
This, however became equally impossible owing to his
remarkable height, and be compelled to abandon
the business. He then engaged in keeping and driving
hacks. In the years 1861 he went East, and APP
peared the stage pieces written especially
for him. He returned to Louisville, and few years
later bought the cofeehouse which he was keeping at
the time of his death.
He is described as remarkably pure-hearted and in
offensive The coffin procured for the body the deceas
ed nine feet long
