Cosr OF THE WAR.-The following
extract is from "A statement published in
the New York Joarnak Of Commerce pre-
sents an estimate of the annual expense
likely to be attendant on the prosecution

munition for cannon and rifles, Ga large

We have looked with some interest for an an
nOuncement Of the promotion of 1t. Col. Silas
Casey, late cOmmandant Of Fort Stciacoon, but
as yet without success, though we believe he has
shared in the general advancement. Veterans
like him, who had previously fought in the battles
Of their country, and shed their blood in its de-
fence, should not be overlooked when military
honors are showered on mere politicians.

Fears and doubts have been expressed respect
ing the character Of the California volunteers /;
sone fearing their want and disregard of disc.

following, from the Dallcs .NouDidineer Of the

and doubts; exhibiting, as it does, very COM
mcndablc readiness for any duty, however ardu.

Five companies Of volunteers are now sta.
toned in Oregon and Washington Territory
Two OF The companies are at Vancouver, two al
on their way to ColvilIe, where they will relieve
Major Lugenbcels command, and the remaining
company is at Fort DaleS. The two companies
on the way to Colville reached the Dalles at
late hour on Friday night. After landing from
the steamer, they were drawn up on the beach,
when their commander, Major Curtis, addressed
them as follows: Fellow-sOldiers, | have Just
this moment learned that the Indians in the in
terror threaten hostities, and that our brethren,
the people whom we are here to protect, are in
danger. The order am about to give is q hard
one, but know you are ready for any duty,
however hard. BY marching to the Des Chutes
fifteen miles--we shall be able to take the
steamer that leaves tomorrow morning. and by
that means We shall reach our field Of duty per-
haps q week earlier than il we remain here over
night Fellcw-sOldiers, will you follow me ?"
From one end of the ranks to the other, the re-
spOnse came up, "We will" The battalion
then took up the line Of march, and reached the
Des Chutes on Saturday morning in time to take
the steamer Col. Wright, for Walla Wala.
Those of our readers who have passed over the
road between the Dalles and Des Chutes will
know how to appreciate tho herosm Of the men
who, at the call Of their country, were willing to
undertake that night.march. All honor to Mai.
Curtis and his gallant command.

WASTED.-All the way from Olympia to Vic
toria complaint is made Of the difficulty Of getting
butter for family, hotel and steamboat use. Not
~ithstanding the very favorable season our farm
'ers have had for making butter, the pastures
never having been better nor lasted longer, there
is not at times pound Of butter to be had for
love or money. Even among the farmers, we are
informed, there arc many who have not the art-
Gle in their houses; while some who have Il de-
mand such exOrbitant prices that our people will
not buy. Good table butter finds ready sale and
eager purchasers at ST. cents per h.; more than
this consumers are not willing to give, and we
think they act wisely. Cannot some of our Ore
gon neighbOrs afford to ship il here at that price9
We have no doubt that fifteen or twenty thou
sand pounds, perhaps . much larger quantity,
can be disposed Of Immediately at the different
mills and towns on the Sound, at the price stated
Cheese and apples also meet ready sale at high
rates; the former at S7t cents and the latter at
salOc. per ID. A small vessel feighted with the
articles named would be welcomed from COlum-

A SAD CAsE.-Some time since, says the
Marysville appeal, wealthy Jew, of San Fran
cisco, married young girl who had been reared
in the Catholic faith, but she abfured that relig
ion and espOused the religions belief Of her hus-
band, who, on the other hand, has been treated
with scorn and contempt by his kin, who do
not believe in his wife's apparent conversion,
while her friends have forsaken her on account
Of her leaving the faith of her fathers. Under
these circumstances, she has become insane, and
fances that parties are in pursuit Of her, to take
her from her husband. She was lately taken
to Stockton by her husband, for treatment but,
as he found that he could not remain with her,
she was taken back to San Francisco.
