AT HoME.-Lt Gov. Walkup and Senator
Anderson arrived at home on Tuesday, and
met with a cordiality of reception from per-
sonal and political friends, that spoke in un
mistakable terms of the estimate held of
these gentlemen by their friends and neigh
bors who have known them long and well.
The investigation of State Prison affairs, by
the Senate Committee, called for by the in
famous report of McCauley's Assembly
inquistion, prevented Wakup and An
derson from reaching home at an earlier day.
The labors of the Senate Committee were
not concluded until Monday, when their full
report was placed in the hands of the State
Printer. This report fully exonerates Gov.
Walkup from the malicious charges made
against him, and shows to the people of Pla-
Ger county and the State, that when they
put forward and indorsed Jos. Walkup for
high official position, as practical, capable
man, of sterling integrity, and moral worth,
their confidence was not misplaced

Mining at Oregon Bar.

of the mining operations at Oregon Bar, on
the Middle Fork Of the American. From
letter Just received from there we learn that
"last week Williams Il Co., washed out in
two days, 1.-TWO men at work. SO ozs; and the
week before made an average of ozs. per
day to the hand. This is the claim where
was found the 2 l OF. piece short time since.
In the claim of Miller q Co., they are ia
king it out big-one day last week they
took % lbs. of gold nuggets, exclusive of
fine gold-how much of that | am not in
fomed-and this week they have made an
average of about 5lbs per day, three hands
working in the claim. One Of the company
has to-day shown me piece weighing over
% ozs which does not contain more than
three or four ounces of quartz, and says he
will show me other fine specimens soon.
This is the claim from which it was reported
the lump weighing 40S ozs. was taken, but
that famous piece has not yet been shown.
There are several other claims in the hill
that are paying good wages-from six to
eight dollars per day.
Unfortunately we are not as well supplied
with water as we should be, and are very
much in need of a good ditch Of water on
the "Divide,,' which if we had, believe this
would become one of the best mining camps
in the country"
A VALUABLE MAp.-Mr J. NJ. Griffith,
the agent has exhibited to us valuable map,
for which he is about to canvass the county
for subscribers. 1t is late edition, and is
called "Johnson's County Map of the Re-
publics of North America and the adjacent
Islands and Countries One of its interest
ing peculiarities is. that the counties of each
State is properly defined by colors, and the
shire-towns Of each desi gnated. The boun-
daries of all the territories of the United
States are given, including the new purchase
from Mexico to be included in Arizona and
the counties of the Territories so far as thev
have been organized All the Departments
in Mexico, Central America, New Granada,
and Cuba, are properly defined, as also the
public roads of those counties. All the
railroads, of the countries on the map, are
laid down-the great network of the rail
road system of the United States is given,
and in connection, the routes of the Over
land Mail Routes now in such high favor
with the people of the Pacific coast. The
Ocean steamer routes on the Atlantic and
Pacific are given besides Dr. Kane's Artic
trail. The sub divisions of California. Ore
gon, and the Territory Of Washington are
more full and satisfactory than upon any
other map of the United States. The map
contains printed table Of distances, 10y
land and water, between principal cities and
counties, and statistical table Of the popu-
laton, products, ETC., of the different States
and Territories, compiled from the Census
of 1850.
The map will be found of more than Or
dinarv value as work of reference and
should be generally distributed. 1t is large,
beautifully colored, and the border is hand
somely illustrated by views from the princi
pal cities of the Union.

ENGLISH OFFICERS SMUGGLING.-Th Ma
zatlan correspondent of the San Francisco
Herald, thus speaks of the British naval
officers visiting the west coast of Mexico:
81 believe that can safely state that not
an officer Of H. B. M. that has visited this
coast during the last ten years can plead
mot guilty to the charge of smuggling ng-to
be sure it pays wel-t0o per cent. Of all Ia.
ken off safe goes to The officer, tvo per. cent.
to the captain. Capt. Curry, of the alarm,
has boosted Of having made upyards of 90.
900 as his share of the perquisites of this

QUARTZ M1NING.-Henson's mill, on Sc
cret Ravne having been fitted to work under
the process of Judge Chambers, commenced
operations on Monday last. The machinery
is said to work beautifully. The proprietors
are now working over tailings, that have
once been washed and all the gold extracted
that was possible to be obtained by the old
plan. As there will not be cleaning up
for some days, it is impossible to state the
success of the new mode of operating. We
have a confidence that it is the plan of all
others for quartz working.

had a right to issue such summons Their
business is to investigate Burnham's manage
ment of the agency, and not Gov. Banks rea-
sons for appointing him to office; and we take
liberty to suggest to that committee, and to the
House by which it was appointed, that they
forget what is due to the Governor, as well as
to legislative propriety, when they aid the libel
lous purpose of this rancorous partisan as
sailant of His Excelency by summoning him
before them to repeat his story. If he and his
hacker, the Courier, were honest in the matter,
and if the tale, Invested of its colorngs and OK
aggeratioEs, had the appearance of truth IN
those particulars which touch the Governor, 1T
would still be dishonorabie as well as unjustifi-
able for the committee to NEEDLE with it in the
way proposed. 1t is very certain that Baiii-
ham never should have been appointed to that
office; he may have obtained it by corrupt
means; but, before the gentlemen of that COM
mittee proceed far in giving aid to an unscru.
pulous partisan. attack on the Governor, let
them remember that there is such a thing as
propriety.
And we will add here, that it will be relief
to the public when the legislature finishes with
Burnham and leaves him to the courts. 1t is
now plain enough that his management Of the
liquor agency demands judicial investig ttion.
The legislature cannot try him, and the pres
ent investigation can have no practical result
beyond showing the necessity of prosecution
before proper tribunal. The more Burnham
says, the worse he appears, and the further the
investigation goes, the more we feel the dis
grace that has been brought upon the state by
his appointment to that Office. We shall have
it all over again in the courts; therefore, we
entreat the legislature to drop him as soon as

She asked him the direct question-'Were
you actuated in any degree, in undertaking
your late enterprise, by feeling of revenge z"
adding that common impression to that effect
had gone abroad
He manifested much surprise at this state
ment, and after pausing moment, replied:
81 am not conscious of ever having had a
feeling of revenge; no, not in all the wrong

car help to right it, and can even hope that

still have no feeling of revenge! No. /
have not been actuated by any spirit of re-
venge !"
He talked good deal about his family,
manifesting solicitudc for their comfort after
he was gone, but expressed his great conf
dence and trust in Gods kind Providence in
their behalf
When some allusion was made to the SEN
tence which he had received, he said very de-
llberately and firmly, and as my friend says,
almost sublimely"-"I do not think can better
serve the cause lore much than to die for Ht'
She says that size can never forget the i'm

dread your confinement and are you not afraid
that it may wear you down, Or cause you to re-

may come over me, but | do not think that l
snail deny my Lord and Master Jesus Christ,
as l certainly should if denied my principles

When the conversation had proceeded thus
far, as it was known that a northern lady was
inside, a crowd began to collect and although
no demonstration Of violence was made vet
there were manifest indications of impatience
