The Glorious Result in Oregon.

The New York Tribune, of the 18th, thus
speaks of the glorious result for Congress in
the new State Of Oregon:
A passenger by the Star of the West informs us
that Mr.. David Logan is surely elected to Con-
gress from Oregon, Coos and Curry Counties,
from which we have no complete returns, having
made his majority 81. The authority for this
statement is letter from Mr.. Logan himself
The Hon. Joe Lane, with the Hon. Delazon Smiths
assistance, and the aid, personal and pecuniary of
the administration, did their utmost to defeat Mr.
Logan. and to elect Lansing Stout who is said to
have been, not long ago, so-called Know Moth
ing, and to have been imported from California,
especially to serve the Hon. Joe Lanes Senatorial
and Presidential aspirations. This result is highly
g atifyng, not only because it gives the second
chc State Republican representative in the first
Congress in which she is represented as a State,
and indicates that the day is not distant when she
will send two Republican Senators to Washington,
but because it heralds the downfall of a set of
principled demagogues, who have too long cursed
Oregon.

Stock Raising.

We have frequently in these columns called the
attention of our readers to the subject of raising
stock, and pointed out the excellent advantages
this State possesses for that branch of business
Capital cannot be more probably invested in this
country than in opening up stock farms Our cit
liens are becoming convinced of this, and
many OF them are going into the business as much
as their capital will permit. We are also glad to
see that the subject is claiming the attention of
persons from abroad Men are now in our midst
from the Eastern States looking up suitable places
to commence operations in that branch There is
room enough for them and many more In few
years we shall expect to see this section of coun-
try not only the greatest grain but the greatest
live stock exporting district in the State.
Hay and pasturage are all here free as the prai-
RE breeze that watts over the plains. While stran-
gers are hunting up homes here for such purpos-
es, do not let them forget that while they can make
so much money raising cattle, selling butter and
cheese and oducing horses, that it will also pay
them to introduce sheep. We never have any
cold storms in winter, sleets in fall and spring
to fleece their wool, which destructive East,

This would not seem to be great deal more

decreased in their production of wheat, but
the West has increased four to one. The
amount Of land under wheat cultivation this
year is thirty three per cent. greater than in
1866. We, frequently hear Of production
of thirty-one bushels to the acre, but the &C
tual production per acre does not average two
thirds of that amount.

THE CROPS,

~ Our farmers are busily engaged at
present in taking care of their large crops of
wheat. The harvest this year, is one that
will have telling effect upon our prosperity
for the coming year. 1t appears evident, by
the fields of waving grain, that greets the Wis
ion. of the traveller as he crosses our broad
prairies, that the farmers are determined to
drive from our bright horizon, that darkness
and gloom, with which it has been Ger cast,
for the past eighteen months, and we hope
that they will succeed in accomplishing this
great and noble undertaking. We do not
meet farmer, but what gives glowing &C.
count of crops of all kinds corn looks splen-
did, and with the growing weather that we
are now favored with, bids fair to escape the
frost.-Hastialgs Independent.
We The farmers are just now busy har-
vesting their grain. Rye, barley and winter
wheat are in a fit state for the reaper Next
week the spring wheat will demand the atten-
ton of farmers. There will be bountiful
harvest of grain here this season. Other
crops look. well and promise an abundant
yield. For the past few weeks corn has
grown astonishingy fast. Potatoes in this
country have never been known to fail of a
large crop. When the field crops are well
secured we may defy hard times The crops
this fall will set us all right once more.-Glen-
coe Register.
lw- 1t is matter of agreeable surprise
to see the large number of reapers, threshing
machines, plows, tanning mills, and other
heavy agricultural implements of the most
improved varieties, which are sold in this mar
ket almost daily, and sent to the interior coun-
ties. Two years ago, almost every pound of
-four consumed in Southern Minnesota was
imported from Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin
Our magnificent fields lay waste, and not q
hand was stirred to till the SOIL Now, how
different! The whole surface of entire coun-
ties is dotted with cultivated fields; here the
pillow is busy at work, and there the waving
grain swells in mimic pillows like inland seas.
A transformation truly wonderful to behold
has taken place, and it is one overf1owing with
promise of a glorious future to our young
State Winona Republican,.
eW The winter wheat in Winona and
Olmsted Counties, is mostly harvested. The
yield has been almost fabulously large Such
a crop of wheat was never before harvested
in the Northwest The barley and rye har-
vest is at hand. These grains are also heavy
beyond precedent. Spring wheat is coming
on rapidly, and will soon be ready for the
reapers This crop is fully equal in promise
to the winter wheat. Oats and corn could
not be more promising. Surely the farmers
the entire people of Minnesota, have cause for
rejoicing and gratitude on account of the bow
of promise which now spans our sky.-W

Tornado on the Upper mississippi.

We learn from various gentlemen connect
cd with the late Military Expedition into the
upper country, that on Monday morning last,
that region was swept by terrific tornado,
that blew down and injured houses, twisted
up large trees, blew over the corn crops, and
did great deal of damage beside, in other
ways. 1t extended up as far as Cambridge,
where three or four houses were blown over.
The soldiers describe its effect at Monticello
as fearful. Wagons were overturned, and
one coo 6loow into the riuer, $50 they say,)

hay piles disseminated in the track of the

The st. Cloud Democrat of the 18th, says
that III. A. Risley of Dunkirk, N. Y, with

struck the wagon and lifted it from the road.

Guided to submit, and thereupon accepted the
nomination with as great show of modesty
as if it had not all been prearranged.
The roll was then called-and the poll an
nounced. Each candidate had several votes,
but no one majority.
Gen. Lowry being little ahead, was then
nominated by reclamation.

JOHN PENMAN PUT UP.
Rev. John Penman (of Pembina) made a
speech about something, and when he conclu-
cluded, some one actually nominated the
"Gentleman from Pembna" to be elected by
reclamation, which was hailed by much laugh
ter at Johns expense.
This took John down. He got up very
much excited, really believing he was going
to 20 to be nominated, and begged the Con-
vention not to do such thing. The member
in pity withdrew his name, and the poll went
on.
On the first ballot no majority. Another
was tried which resulted, through the chang
ing of votes from Everest to Able, in the
choice of the latter. This caused dissatisfac-
ton, however, and the roll was again called,
this time resulting in the election of Sam Alb
be, which completed the ticket, and the thing
was proclaimed into being by three cheers
and more guns from the Park.

said would soon be used up, &c.
