JAIL.-We notice pile of bricks and timber
on the southeast corner of the public square,
which we are informed is intended for Jail. 1t
is to be hoped that this institution will be com
pleted soon as the events of every day suggest
the necessity for building of this character.

EXTENSION OF THE WAGON Road
lIr. H. L. Richardson, formerly of P Portland,
arrived in this city on last Tuesday even
ing, having left the Salmon river mines on
the 5th ult. He brings no later mining in
telligence than that contained in our last
Reports the snow from two to three feet in
depth on the trail from Lewiston to mouth
of Slate creek-from eight to ten feet on
the mountain. He met two trains going in
with provisions. Mr.. Richardson states
that efforts were being made when he left
to open wagon road from the Camas prai-
RE through to the mines. Funds were con-
tributed by the citizens of Florence to de-
fray the expenses of viewing out and loca-
ting the route, and a committee was ap-
pointed for this purpose. The committee
performed the labor, and reported the dis
covery of a practicable route for a good
wagon road, nearly all of the way level,
with no hills of any Importance. The dis
tance is estimated by the committee as
twenty miles nearer than the present route
by way of the mouth of Slate creek Prepa-
ratiOns we're being made to commence work
on the road as soon as the weather would
permit. If this movement results success
fully-and we have no reason to doubt its
consummation-a good wagon road will be
open all the way from this point to the
Salmon river and Nez Perces mines.
COURT HOUsE-We understand that it is the
intention of the County Commissioners to rent
the building at the lower end of Main street,
near the public square, for a Court House. We
know of no better location or building in town
for Court House, as the room is large and well
adapted to court purposes.

Routes to Salmon River.

We publish in another column of to-
days paper communication upon this sub
ject, in reply to an article in the Mountain
eer, to which we invite the attention of
readers. By way of carrying out the argu-
ment as proposed by our correspondent in
the opening of his letter, and inasmuch as
the object of the MOuntajneer seems to be
to see what kind of a story figures can be
made to tell, we will introduce a little
arithmetic in reply to points not touched
by him. The Mountaineer asserts that the
cost of travel by steamboat from the Dalles
to the mines would be $53, and overland,
Uia the Grand ROnde Valley, $25. Now,
We will prove to the entire satisfaction of
the editor of the Mountaineer, and pro-
duce the figures for it, too, that the Grand
ROnde Valley route is decidedly the most
eXnensiYe one:

NEW FERRY ON SNAKE RIvER.-Per-
sons recently down from the mines, inform
us that there are notices posted at different
places along the road this side Of Snake
river, stating that there is a new route open
from the Alpowa to point on Snake river
some twelve miles above Lewiston, where
a ferry has recently been established. 1t is
alleged that this route materially shortens
the distance to the mines. It appears that
the route is not open, or if it is, no one
travels it as yet. Judging from the appear
ance of the country, we should think it un-
likely that good road could be procured
through that way If a road could be OBJ
tanned over the mountains from Snake river,
intersecting the old trail at OF near the old
mill stand, there is no doubt but it would
greatly lessen the distance to the mines.
BmLIARDs-At a game of billiards played
between NJ. VIM. Robinson and Mr.. Jackson
the former dscounting the lateral Crownes
saloon, few days ago, Mr.. Robinson made the
extraordinary run of 1916 points run which
has not been beat more than five or six times
within our recollection From the position of
the balls, had Mr.. R. exercised proper caution
he might have equaled, if not exceeded, the larg-
est run ever made on this coast-22OO points

oregon Steam Navigation Company.


1t seems that this enterprising steamboat
company are evincing their usual business
foresight and energy, by anticipating the
demands of the coming season in the con
struction of new steamers for the spring and
summer trade We learn that two new
-draught steamers, which are intended
to ply on the upper Columbia and Snake
rivers, are already in process of building at
the Deschutes, and will be completed by
the first of April New wharf-boats are
also being built for the steamer landings,
which viii give greater security to the goods
of shippers. This shows that the company
are determined to surmount the obstacles
encountered in navigating these rivers, not
withstanding the difficulties and embarrass-
ments It has become popular among GER
tain classes to denounce steamboat compa-
nies as huge monopolies, charging exhorbi-
tant prices for transportation, ETC.; but when
the dangers and accidents resulting from
the difficulties in navigating these rivers
are considered, such a charge respecting this
company becomes a groundless one To
the indomitable perseverance and energy of
this company, as well as the outlay of
large amount Of capital in an enterprise
which was looked upon as futile scheme,
the people of the upper country are indebted
for efficient means of transportation between
them and the lower country. In grateful
recognition of their enterprise in opening
the rivers to successful navigation, the peo-
pie who share the benefits of their capital
and labor, should at least be willing to al
low them living rates for transportation.
DIRECT OVERLAND ROUTE TO SALMON RIVER.
By reference to Gov Stevens maps of the up
per country which are supposed to be the most
accurate yet published compiled as they were
from actual surveys while exploring for rail
road route across the contnent-it will be seen
that the most direct route to Salmon river is by
way OF Walla Walla. Granting the possibility
of finding trail to these mines from the Grand
Ronde valley-a matter now involved in much
Doubt will be seen by reference to these maps
that the traveller will be compelled to go
considerably to the southwark of the mines, and
then, making wide elbow, he must, in order to
reach the mines, travel in north-esterly course,
and through a country which is put down in the
maps as High Mountains" and Pine Forests
Coming by way of Walla Wala, the traveller will
have none of these difficulties to encounter and will
find good road over a comparatively level coun-
try all the way to the Salmon river mines
All who have visited these mines agree that they
are located nearly due east Of this place, and
some contend that they are north of east. How
then could a road from the Dalles going south
by the Grand Ronde valley be nearer than the
road by Walla Walla, when 'Walla Wala is full
half degree north Of the Dalles, and the mines
east or northeast of Walla Walla
, 1862-02-01

The miner will reach the mines in six
days after leaving the Dalles, at an ex-
pense of S58; find 800 ounce claim and
be ready to go to work say four days after
his arrival in the mines.

NEW LAW FIRM.-Mr. J. A. Odell, for
merly of Portland, has formed a copartner-
ship with Judge o. Hummason, of Dalles,
for the practice of law at the latter place.
We take pleasure in observing that Mr..
Odell is a gentleman of sound legal attain
ments, and of strict integrity and faithful
ness in the business of his profession. He
is a young lawyer of sterling qualities, and
will attain to that eminence in the profess
ion to which the motto of his ambition
points.

UNION Hook AND LADDER Co. No. I've
have been informed by Mr.. Porter, Secretary Of
the above named company, that there has been
an assessment of 1920 on each member of the
company for the payment of its debts. We are
sorry to see the first company that has been or
ganized in our midst for the protection of the
property of citizens thus embarrassed and we
hope the property holders will take an interest in
the matter and help them through. The COM
pany have hooks and ladders placed at conven-
ieRtdstanees in the town, and also some thirty or
forty buckets, which have been distributed among
the various stores and saloons. We trust the
members will keep up their organization. A fire
may break out at any moment, and in the alb
sence Of well organized fire company, lay the
whole town in ashes. 1t is to the interest of ev-
cry citizen to lend this company substantial aid
in relieving them from their present embarrassed
condition.

TO LOYAL ELECTORS.

Next Tuesday, the 14th inst. is electisr
day. We hope the Union men will beat
this fact in mind and devote the day to oul
country. Be at the polls carly and stay late
See that every Union voter in your precinct
casts VOTE An election of more Importance
was never held in this State, and yet the
great mass Of the people do not seem to ap'
preciate thief You, the loyal men of Iowa
are called upon to fight for victory, the ef
feet of which will be as great as that Of any
ever won by our brave troops in the field
While they are fighting armed traitors al
the South, you are to meet and crush masked
treason at home. 1t is as essential to the
safety Of the Government that the latter be
defeated as the former. Then rally, loya
men! devote next Tuesday to tho Union
cause, and we will utterly rout the semi-sc
cessionists, who seek to tarnish the fair name
Of loyal Iowa. Tho moral effect Of victory
for the loyal ticket next Tuesday will b.
great. On the other hand defeat would b.
disastrous in its consequences to the Union
cause throughout the country, and would
make the name of Iowa by-werd and re-
proach. Should the Mshony clique carry
this election, and the rebellion be prospered
each and every loyal man who shall have

day will be responsible for the consequences

the rafting musketry, and the loyal man
who fails to cast his ballot noxt Tuesday is
guilty of as rcprchensible an act as the SOL
der who should refuse the fire his musket
at the enemy in battle where victory was
wavering between the contending armies.
Victory is ours If we only bring out our full
strength. If large number Of voters in
each town stay away from the polls defeat is
possible. Do not say ysur one vote is moth
ing there are enough without me, etc. but
make it point to be at the polls, and see
that your neighbors are there. Remember,
if We lose this election it will be because 10y
al men have failed to do their duty. Our
opponents are thoroughly organized, and
will poll their full vote but they are in the
minority; We can defeat them if We will,
and let us sec that it is done by hapdsome
majority. We do not want to win the VIC
tory by the skin of our teeth, but we want
to win by big, overwhelming majorites.
Then remember that our country needs the
services Of every loyal citizen next Tuesday,
and be on hand to discharge your duty.

NEXT TUESDAY,
IOWA STATE FAIR.

Unfortunately for the success of the Ninth
Annual Fair Of the Iowa State Agricultural
Society, the opening days of the exhibition
were rainy. Many were doubtless deferred
from attending on this account. Ncverthc-
less tho Fair cannot be said, circumstances
considered, to have been failure. The show
of stock was very good indeed. The process
sion of premium cattle was a 6ne sight The
procession reached nearly around the race
course which is third of mile long. The
closing days were pleasant, and the attend
ance large. Had the weather of the first of
the week been as fine as that of the close.
the Fair would have been ahead of anything
ever held in tho State. The most exciting
feature Of the occasion was the great trotting
contest for the 500 purse "Tom Hyer,"
owned by j. S. Wolf, Of Cedar Rapids, took
the prize. The best time made was 2:49.
The crowded state of our columns this
week, prevent us from speaking more at
length on this subject. We will only add
the following from the Dubuque Times:
The first State Fair ever held in Northern
Iowa has more than met the expectations OF
the officers and friends of the Society. With
such bad weather during the early part OF
the week; with terrible war upon the ma
ton, absorbing the thoughts Of everybody ;
and with thirty or forty thousand soldiers
absent from the State, and many of them the
warm friends and supporters Of the State Ag.
ricultural Society, it Is matter of surprise
and for rejoicing that the Fair has been as
good and successful as it has proved to be-
Other States have postponed their Fairs on
account Of the war, and our Committee were
repeatedly advised to do the Same. But they
persevercd and the Ninth Annual Exhibition
Of the Iowa State Agricultural Society, the
only State Fair in the Northwest in 1862, is
a complete success. Thanks to the Commit.

DISTRICT JUDGE.

There are several good reasons why loyal
men should not vote for Judge Wilson for
the office of District Judge next Tuesday
Wilson owes his nomination to Mahony; Ma
hony and his friends claimed Wilson's nom-
nation as victory for their clique; Wilson'S
name will appear on tho same ticket with
Mahony he will receive the votes of Maho-
ny's friends, and he (Wilson) is in honor
bound to vote for Mahony fer Congress-
Mahony is an open and avowcd enemy Of the
Government. Is Wilson, who supports him
for Congress, less an enemy Of the Govern
nlent than the formeri A vote against the
war measures Of the administration is vote
to support the rebel army, and every man
who votes against every measure for the sup
port of the war is aiding and abetting the
enemy. No one believes that Mahony would
support the Government in its war measures.
What reason have you to believe that Wilson
would act contrary to the wishes of his friend
and supporter! None at all. On the contra
~ you have every reason to believe that his
political views are the same as d. A. Maho-
ny's. a Esd fa ... a..
Every man in tho District who is opposed
to the war policy will cast his vote for Will
son every man who is loud in his denunci-
atoms of the only party pledged to the pres
eryation of the Union, and the vindication of
the Constitution, will vote for Wilson; every
man who dcnounces war Democrats as abo-
litionists, will vote for Wilson; and every
man who exhibits no evidence of loyalty will
vote for Wilson. 1t is the duty Of every
man to stand by the Nation and the Govern
,nent in this trying hour and to give it his in
Aucnce and support. Judge Wilson is the
representative of faction which is in oppo-
sition to the Government; consequently his
influence. indirectly it may be, but none the
loss certainly, acts in faver Of the traitors
who are in arms against the government
10 say the least, he is not above suspicion,
and that should be sufficient to defeat him.
We hope that no unconditional Union man
will vote for Judge Wilson for the reasons
We have given above.

time drove in our center and penetrated as
far as the Corinth House, when determined
charge was made by our troops, which forced
the rebels to give way, many Of them falling
down and holding up their hands for mercy.
At the close of tho battle Gen. Hurlburt ar
rived with 5000 fresh troops, and immediate
ly commenced pursuit Of the routed rebels,
and the latest advices state that Rosencrans
and Hurlbut have the rebels hemmed in with
probability Of their capture,-Price being

the two Union divisions. Gen. Hurlbut left
Bolivar at 2 A. NJ. on Saturday, and marched
to the rear Of the rebels to cut off their re-
treat. The number OF killed and wounded on
either side is not yet known. Our loss is re-
ported as heavy but nothing like the enemy's.

To the Electors Of the 9Th Conxression ina

Hon. A. W. Hubbard, Republican and
Union Candidate for Congress in this District
has been unavoidably detained at home on
account Of the Indian difficulties in the North.
West having been urged by the Governe,
to take charge of matters in the Western
part Of the State, and thereby prevented from
visiting the district as he intended; and now
that he has finished his duties at home, he is
sick and unable at present to leave his bed
We all expected to have had Judge Hubbard
with us before election, but by the above il
will be seen that circumstances over which
lie had no control have prevented his visiting
the eastern portion Of the District. We all
regret this, but knowing our man, will work
none the less faithfully for his election.
