The Steamer Spray.

WALLA WALLA, Aug. 2S, 1862.
EDS. STATESMAN : Having been passenger
on board the steamer Spray Capt Eph. Baugh-
man, on her last trip up from Deschuttes to Wal
lula, allow me TO say word or two about the
boat and the trip. To every one the first trip up
the Columbia river furnishes its usual variety Of
scenery. and incident. | was highly delighted
with the grand and majestic beauty of the scene
ry-being so entirely different from the mountain
Gus and tame scenery OF Oregon. The Spray was
freighted for lewiston and passing the Old Fort,
she proceeded as far as Pine Tree Rapids, in
Snake river where, finding the water too shallow
to admit OF further passage, she returned to Wal
lula and discharged her cargo. | am told that
none of the boats will attempt another trip to
Lewiston this fall, and should judge they would
not if their owners have any regard for the safety
of their property.
1t gives me great pleasure to bear testimony to
the gentlemanly and accommodating manage
ment Of the steamer Spray. She is emphatically
the peoples boat, aad | am glad to learn that she
is appreciated and patronzed by the shipping pub
lie. Her officers are pleasant and agreeable gen
'tlemen. Capt Baughman has been long on the
upper river, and is generally known by the trav-
.eling public Mr.. Gates. the purser of the Loat
is a right clever fellow" ard eminently fitted
for the position he occupies. Under the present
management she cannot fail to become soon the
most popular boat on the upper river She is well
adapted TO the trade, having commodious cabin
with sixty-eight bertbs, and is capable of hun
dred tons burthen. If the people of the supper
country would secure free intercourse on their
river, and system of fair rates for freighting,
they will be sure and patronize the besutiful
steamer Spray. Yours truly, X.

HAb0litionists.p

According to our neighbors Of the Dem
ocratic presses, hosts Of people in the
Northern States are turning to be Aboli-
tionists. For instance, Gen. Butler has
turned Abolitionist. Col. John Cochrane,
delegate in 1860 to the Charleston Conven-
tien, has joined the Abolitionists. The
editor Of the Albany Argus advocates arm
ing the.slaves; of course be too must be al
Aboiiticnist. Dickinson also endorses the
same doctrine. Io fact, leading Democrats
who are Democrats, are becoming Aboli
tiouists; the "bogus," ike Polk, Green,
Breckenridge, and host of others, going
over, body aud breeches, to the South.
Our neighbors will soon be "the last end
Of noihing-hammered out small" The
Communicable. leading paper published
At Frankfort, Ky, says, that those who do
not endorse the doctrine of Gen. Cameron,
are infinitely worse than open and avowed
Rebels. So the Kentucky press is going
over to Aboli,ionism. The Christian
churches. the Army, and vast majority
Of the people, are all aboli'ionisis. Dem.
ocrstis Editors ! if your definition is right,
you mot make up Jour mind to live
among an Abolition people, or pull up
stakes and migrate to "DiIie."

A Ncgro's Account OF The wilaezt Retreat.
An owner whose slave accompanied a
youus Confederate officer on the Wildcat
expedition, asked the darkey, on his re-
turn to Nashville, how long the army was
on the march from its enc,mpments to the
battle field?
"About four days" was the reply.
"Well, how long were they 10 marching
back?"
"About two days, Massa."
"Wby, how is that, Joe! Could the
men travel any faster back, when they
were broken down with four days march,
and . severe fight, than they Travelled for
ward after good rest 10 camp"
"Oh, III tell you what made the differ
ence, massa," said old Joe, "it was the
music. They marched toward Wildcat to
the tune of Dirie. When they marched
back, the tune was, Fire in the mountain,
run, boys, run"
