az that In which we write, and there prob
ably are many; but up TO tins hour we
do not know that any such have been DIS
covered. There are said 10 DO five thon,
sand people already in this rayine, ana
hundreds more are pouring in daily
Tens of thousands more have been pass
ed by us in our rapid journey TO ,his
place, or heard Of as on their way ni'he'
by other routes. ! For all these nearly eV-
ery mound of provisions and supplies OF
ovorv kind must be hauled from tho Mis-
souri river, some 700 miles distant over
roads which are mere trails crossing count
less unbridged water-courses,a always steep
banked and often miry, and at times so
swollen by rains as TO be utterly impass-
able by wagons. Part of this distance
is desert, yielding grass, wood and water
only at intervals Of several miles, and
chen very scantily. To attempt TO cross
this desert on foot is madness-suicide-
murder. To cross it with teams in mid
summer, when the water-eourses are main
ly dry and the grass eaten up is possible
only TO those who know just whore to
look for grass and water, and where water
must be carried along to preserve life.
A few months hence-probably by the
middle Of October-this whole Alpine re-
zion will be showed under or frozen up,
so as to put stop 10 the working OF
sluices if not to mining altogether. There,
then, for period Of at least seven months,
will be neither employment, food nor
shelter within 500 miles for the thousands
pressing hither under the delusion that
gold may be pitched up here like pebbles
on the sea-shore, and that when they ar.
rive here their fortunes arc made. Great
disappointment, great suffering are inev
table; few can escape the latter who ar
rive at Denver City after September with
out ample means TO support them in {
very dear country, at least through long
winter. We charge those who manage
the telegraph not to difl'use part of ou
statement without giving substantially
the whole; and we beg the press general
ly to unite with us in warning the whol'
people against another rush to the gol'
mines, as i'll advised as that Of last spring

MOVEMENTS OF KossUTH.

In one of the London Times leading
articles Of the goth June is the following !:
an. Kossuth will be employed at once
in acting on the Hungarian regiments
in the Austrian service, and, if possible,
producing a revolt in Hungary ITSELF
AT the same time, we receive u proclama-
ton from General Clapka, published at
the French headquarters. The meaning
Of these proceedings is not doubtful
The Austian Emperor is to be attacked
beyond the limits of Italy. The war is
to be carried into the other hereditary do
minions Of Francis Joseph, not, indeed,
by French army, (at least for tho pre-
scnt9 but by revolutionary propa-
ganda, supported by the whole strength
of the French, and perhaps the Russian
Court. The consequences may be Of the
very greatest Importance. In the pro-
sent state Of Germany on the one side,
and the Danubian population on the 9th
or, second revolutionary outbreak in
Hungary may light up a war from the
Baltic TO the Black Sea. IfKossuth and
Klapka be seriously commissioned to kin
die the fame of revolt in remote prov
ince Austria, The Germans may have that
caSus JeM which the moro hot-headed
among them desire. Should Napoleon
persist in the scheme which the proclama
ton of Klapka and Kossuth's departure
from England indicate, it will be sigr
that he is ready to wade into the deepest
waters of Europeon connection"

HARVEST has commenced,
and it promises to be glorious one. AS
early rs Friday Of last week, the cradle
was put to several pieces of red wheat,
and, before this paper gets fairly cireula-
ted, the bulk of the rcd wheat of this
county will have been cut. Nothing but
protrrcted rains can prevent large yield
of this kind. The white wheat will be
ready TO cut by Friday Of this week, il
the weather is favorable. It. is almost
beyond the reach of rust. The proper
portion of the frost bitten wceat in this
county we do not believe is ten per cent

crop maturing for harvest"

Of us, we can speak with confidence that
we have had no such wheat crop in the

The OREGON SENAToR.-The last over.

Legislature Of the State Of Oregon has
adjourned without electing U. States

prive chat State Of just one-half Of IFS rep
resentation in the Senate at The next SEES

GREETED in tho case Of any State. 1t of

ability Of the legislature TO make an cleo
ton, and it will occasionally happen,
though rarely, that a Senator will alb
sent himself for long time from his

have an able Senator in General Lane,
but The voice and vote Of two are better

DESERVING THE DOCTRINE.

The black republicans Of Kansas, Penn
sylvania, and Ohio, have already repudi-
ated the Intervention doctrine of the Phil
adelphia platform, and the party manifests
symptoms of following the example in
other localities. That is the great doc
trine in which the party was founded, on
which il has lived, and with which it will
die, and that speedily unless it makes
haste to repudiate it. Since the opposi-
ton ut the South have taken hold of it,
however, and apply it to the enactment
of a slave code for the Territories, the
black republicans begin TO discover its per-
niciousness, and are making haste to deny
it. 1t is not TO be believed that their
nominating convention for Presidential
candidate next year will re-aflirm this
doctrine in any shape, and yet it is diff
cult to tell what other position thcy can
occupy. Since tho year 1854 they have
adopted and rc-adopted, affirmed and rc-af-
firmcd the principle Of Congressional in
tcrvention to prohibit tho introduction or
existence of slavery in the Territories,
times without number. 1t has been laid
down as the cardinal principle Of the par
ty in conventions of all sorts, national,
State, county, city, town, village, school
districts, Congressional and Legislative,
official and unofficial, large, small and
medium, black, white and yellow. Sen
ators and Representatives in Congress
have been instructed and requested, rel
alive 10 it. Governors have talked il
in their messages and judges from the
bench; parsons have preached it, in the
pulpit and out; petitions have prayed for
it, and remonstrants have been few
And now what do we behold? The
party is DESERVING it, Notwithstanding the
thousand and one changes which have
been rung upon it. The doctrine is vi
cious and untenablo, ms the democracy
have always contended, and the truth is
getting to be known. The rats are fast
leaving the sinking ship.
But the democracy will hold the party
to the responsibility II voluntarily as
sumed. OF Intervention was it born, and
by Intervention has il lived, and now by
Intervention shall it die. The democracy
have warred upon it from the first, and
upon its opponents, the black republicans,
and it will continue 10 war upon them
until both shall go down together. Let
the party but enter another campaign
upon platform endorsing the principle,
and they will be wiped out more effect
ually than were their predecessors, the
fedcralists in 1916, the wings in 1852, or
the know-nothings in 1856. But that
they will not do because they dare moi.

Position OF PRUssIA.-The Paris cor
respondent of tho London Spectator
makes the following extraordinary state
ment: I" / have little fear Of being con-
tradictcd when | state that Prussia has
consented to aid Austria in preserving
her possessions in Lombardy. Prussia
will uphold tho treaties of 1915 with all
her power. This news, known 10 few,
is perhaps the reason of the continued de-
cline"
A Berlin letter Of June l6 says: at
is rumored here again to-day that pro-
position Of peace, taking the line of the
Mincio as q base, is TO be addressed at the
same time by Prussia 10 France and
Austria. Count Pourtales is to be the
agent for submitting this project to the
two Emperors. Much is expected here
from the pacific sentiments of the Emper-
or Napoleon, but there is little probabil-
ity that the Austrians will admit this
base; indeed, the Vienna Cabinet has al
ready confdentially informed Prussia
that it cannot think Of making any ces-
sion of territory, since its real line of OPP
erations, the Mincio, remains intact, and
the military forces Of Austria are still UNI
impaired. Napoleon had demanded per-
mission TO march 10000 troops through
Hanover 10 the Rhine.
1t was believed that the basis of the
proposed meditation of Prussia would not
be acceptable to France, and Prussia
would thereby be involved in The war
1t was also rumored that Prussia had
threatened to assist in supprcssing the
mediated insurrcctionary movements in
Hungary.

THE GREAT EVENTS OF TIE DAY.

We give this week much Of the space,
usually devoted to our leading editorial
NATTER TO somewhat extended history
of some of the highly interesting and
important transactions Of tho few past
days. And first we give our readers the
history, in detail, of the great Kronaut
Expedition, from st. Louis to Jefferson
County, New York, performed by Messrs.
WISE, LAMoUNTAN, GAoER and BRADY,
in little less than twenty hours, ayerag-
ing nearly mile minute. Secondly,
we give minute statement, so far as we
are in possession Of the data, Of the great
est battle of modern times, in which the
whole Austrian Army, consisting of $50
600 men, was drawn up in battle array
against the Allied Armies, extending q
distance of fifteen miles. Victory as usu-
al crowned the heroic deeds Of the French
and Sandman Forces. In the third place,
our readers will find brief statement of
the present position of Russia, in respect
to the war. A proposition for the settle
ment of the difficulties existing between
the belligerent parties-a mediatorial in
terlerencc-is proposed by Prussia, which
is presumed will not be acceptable TO both
parties, and in the event Of its rejection
the probability is that tho latter Power
will no longer remain neutral, but will be-
come the ally of Austria, and will assist
in suppressing the present insurrectionary
movements in Hungary. In the next
place tho movements OF KossUTH will be
a matter Of interest, as it will be seen
that he is by no means an idle spectator
of the army movements and deadly con
flicts on Italian soil, and is laying deer
plans to bring about the independence o.
Hungarian issue that may yet involve
all Central and Eastern Europe in san
culinary war that shall eclipse anything
chat Europe yet ever saw in magnitude o.
operations and sacrifice of human life.

The following is the Austrian official
account of the battle:
VERONA, June 25.-The day before
yesterday our right wing occupied Pozzo-
lenga, Solferino and Carriana, and the
left wing pressed forward as far rs Guidiz-
alo and Cas-ciofliedo, but was driven back
by the enemy.
A collision took place between the two
entire armies at 10 A. M. yesterday
Our left under Gen. Wimpfen advanced
as far as Chiese.
In the afternoon there was concen-
trated assault on the heroically defended
town Of Solferino. Our right wing re-
pulsed the Piedmontese, but, on the 9th
er hand, the order of our center could
not be restored, and our losses are extra
ordinarily heavy.
The development of powerful masses
Of the enemy against our left wing, and
the advance of his main body against
Volto, caused our retreat, which began
late in the evening.
! VIENNA, Juno 25th.-Austrian cores
pondence contains the following:
The day before yesterday the Austrian
army crossed the Mincio at four points,
and yesterday came upon the superior
force of the enemy in the Chiese.
After all obstinate combat of twelve
hours our army Withdrew across the Min
clio.
Our headquarters are now at Villa
Franc.

@ bestowed hereafter upon the bayonet ex-
5 ercise, which has been somewhat neglect
ed Of late in the discipline of the service.
D - The great Cairo law suit has been
