Aside from the letters published in to-day's pa
per- we have the most encouraging intelligence
from every portion of the mining country in Ore
gon and Washington; and believing the accounts
given by men who have been there we are
safe in the assertion that no richer mines than
those embraced in this region have ever been dis
covered in any country. The fact that the mines
are extensive, which has hitherto been doubted by
many, is also placed beyond question. The re-
ports which have reached us from time to time
during the past two weeks of new discoveries in
the Salmon river country, are now confirmed by
returning prospectors, bringing in with them a
goody supply of dust. These mines are situated
on branch of the south fork of Clearwater, some
forty or fifty miles northeast Of Florence, and
the discoverers report them to be equal in rich
ness to the diggngs at Florence, while the gold
is coarser and of much better quality, resembling
that found in the neighborhood of Elk City.
From Powder river and beyond, we also have
news of new and rich discoveries. We are in
formed by Mr.. Kinney. of Mossman & Co.'S ex-
press, who left Powder river on Monday, that
prior to his departure from that place men came
in from prospecting excursions to the south re-
porting that they had found much better prospects
on the heads of Crooked, Malheur, Burnt and
John Days rivers, than have ever been obtained
on Powder river. These men came in for Pre-. IS
ions and intended to return Immediately to the
new gold fields, the farthest of which is only about
sixty miles south of the mines on Powder river.
These rivers all head near together, in the same
range of mountains. Crooked river is a tributary
of Deschuttes and flows north into the Columbia ;
John Days river flows north also, while the other
streams mentioned take their rise on the opposite
side of the Blue mountains, and flow eastward
into Snake river

Letter from Powder River.

We are permitted by Mr. Jacobs, of this city,
to copy the following extract from letter writ
ten to him by responsible gentleman in the
mines:
AUBURN, POWDER RIVER, June 81, 1862.
DEAR SIR AS regards the richness and ex-
tent of these diggngs, l can only state that they
pay from So to $50 per day to the hand in all
claims open, being about one hundred Good
prospects are obtained and men are actively en-
gagged in opening claims for a distance of thirty
miles in length by about five in BREADTH In fact,
the whole district, embracing the upper Powder,
Burnt, Grand Ronde, and John Days rivers, are
10 prospect well About three bundled
men, who recently arrived from California have
left here for John Days river within the last four
days. They appear satisfied from prospects ob-
tanned on their way here, that they will find rich
diggings on that stream.
In the above have not mentioned the big
strikes made here. AS high as sixteen and
quarter ounces has been taken out in a day by
three men, and few claims yield about one thou
sand dollars per week, with from three to five
hands. The scarcity of water is great impedi-
ment to the development of the dggngs in This
locality; but two bitches are being CONSTRUCTED
which will supply considerable quantity of that
element, and it is thought that we will have wa
ter through them by the middle of next week

A GOOD PLATFURM.-The committee on reso-
lutions, appointed by the mass Convention last
Saturday, had just completed the following when
the announcement was made to them that the
Convention had adjourned sine die. We venture,
Notwithstanding the extreme nervousness mani
tested by some of the members of the Convention
during the absence of the committee, that there
was not three men in the Convention who would
not have voted for this resolution and at the
polls repudated any man who would not endorse
it:
ResoIved That the people of Walla Walla
county, in mass convention assembled do declare
that they will vote for no candidate nominated by
this convention, who is not pledged to support the
best interests of Walla Walla county, and to give
to the Government of the United States, as ad-
ministered by the legally constituted authorities
his cordial support and allegiance.

New PACK TRAIL TO GRAND RONDE.-We an
nounce with pleasure this week the departure of
a company of men from this city to open a pack
trail from Walla Walla to the Grand Ronde val
ley, intersectng at that place the road to Powder
river, and giving direct channel of intercourse
with the mining country south. This is an i'm
portant movement, and we are glad at length to
witness its consummation. 1t will shorten the
distance forty miles from this place to the Grand
Ronde, and place us within seventy miles Of the
mining districts. The men went out under the
direction of Messrs. Fox and Smith, both resi-
dents of the Grand Ronde valley, who engage to
open the trail and make it passable for pack ami
mails within two weeks from the time of its COM
mencement. The means necessary to defray the
expense of cutting out the trail have been nearly
all subscribed in this city, and the remainder has
been pledged by Messrs. Kyger & Reese, under
whose auspices the subscription was circulated, in
order to secure the immediate commencement of
the work. We hope, however, that business men
who have not subscribed will at once contribute
their share to make up the deficiency, inasmuch
as all VIII ENJOY mutually the advantages arising
from direct communication with this section of
mining country. The men who engage to open
the trail have been over the ground in person.
and being permanent residents of the country are
interested in having a good trail. Leaving this
city it will follow the old road as far as the Null
Ian mill, thence across the divide and into the
Grand Ronde valley by comparatively level
grade, and will be located all the way on ground
suitable for good wagon road

COUNTY TICKETs. The tickets which we publish
to-day, in another column were handed in at a late

traitorous language.
A private letter from an officer on board of a
British man-of-war at Acapulco, dated May goth,
says: The French have been repused a Sec
ond time. On the Sth of May at La Puebla
they attacked a fortified hill which overlooked
the town, and lost 1000 killed, wounded and
prisoners. They attacked with 5000 men. The
Mexicans had 10000 to 10000 men. 1t is not
improbable that they will have to capitulate be-
fore reinforcements come out.
The ship Lucretia from Hong Kong for San
Francisco, went ashore on Prata shoals, and is

for the San Francisco refinery, 1000 bales hemp
and 100000 pounds Manila coffee. The result
of this information has a decided effect upon su-

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-THE Los Angeles
News has a private letter from Tucson, dated
May 25th, which says: By the 31st of May
the stars and stripes will wave over Forts Stan
ford, formerly Fort Breokinridge,) Tucson and
Buchanan. Then we go for the Rio Grande.
Lieut. Col. West took possession of Tucson on
the goth inst, without firing shot The con-
federate troops stationed in that city fed across
the Rio Grande on our approach, and the citi-
zens of Tucson who were imbued with secession
proclivities made tracks for Sonora. The re-
naming citizens of the town came out and met
the troops in great numbers, greeting them with
cheers, and of their own accord sent out wagons
and brought in loads of forage for our animals
which were worn out by their march from the
Pimos, around by Fort Stamford Capt. Hunter
who was in command of the rebels while they
were in Tucson, had fight with the Apachas at
Dragon Springs and was whipped.
