Phelps whose recent proclamation issued at Ship
Island, has excited so mnch comment, is native
of Vermont from which State he was appointed
cadet at West Point, in 1882. In July, 1886.
he was made brevet I'd Lieutenant of 4th Artii-
lery, and LIST Lieutenant in July, 1888. He took
part in the Mexican war. commanding his COM
pany, and was brevetted captain for gallant and
meritorous conduct in the battles of Conteras
and Cherubusco, in August. 1S47 he was again
hrevetted in August, l84S, but declined to accept
the promotion on the ground thar he had done no
more than his duty. In March, 1850. he was
made captain, but resigned and went home. AT
the outbreak of the present rebellion lie took the
colonelcy Of the 1st Regiment Vermont Volun-
teers. and led then to Fortress Monroe Subse-
quently he was promoted to a Brigadier-General

From Powder River.


From Mr.. McLory, who, IL company
with four others, arrived here from Powder
river on Thursday evening, we have the
following items
The party left Powder river about fifteen
days ago, for this valley, coming by way of
the Grand Ronde and Umatilla. They had
been at Pc der river since November last,
engaged in mining and prospecting. T-ey
found diggings about seven miles from
where Mr.. Littlefeld and hi, party were at
work though it has been so cold since the
discovery that they have not been able to
test them thoroughly, yet Mr.. Mel. thinks
that in good weather, and With proper min
ing imp ements, the diggings will yield
from $40 to SIS per day The gold is
coarse and similar to that brought over last
fall by Mr.. Littlefeld. Mr.. Mel. and his
party had done considerable prospecting in
the vicinity, and they found gold in almost
every gulch. He thinks the indications are
that the Pow der river will yet prove an ex-
tensive mining region. The mines are sit
uated about thirty five miles from The Grand
Ronde valley, on the guIches that empty
into Powder river. No prospecting ha yet
been done along the bars Of the river.
The winter has been severely cold there,
tn ugh there has not been so much snow as
here.
In the Grand Ronde valley there had
been but little snow and the stock in the
valley had done veil.
At the Umatilla he saw Mr. Abbott, who
informed him that his cattle would be driv-
en- to Salmon river ria Walla Walla SO
soon as the road is clear of snow. Mr.. A.
himself intended to go to the Dalles and
bring up pack train for the mines leaving
his cattle in cn rye Of his partner, Mr.
Knight. This is an item for the Noun
Idineer.

A NEwI ISoLUrIov oF.rHE CoNrRABAND CUES

A New SOLUTION OF-THE CONTRABAND CUES
TION.-A Washington dispatch of December
25th says: Prominent members of Congress are
considering a new proposition for the solution of
the Contraband question, in order to avoid the
expense of supporting crowds of slaves in idle
ness, and to furnish the American mills with cot
ton. They take the ground that the Indian ter
ritory west of Louisiana and Arkansas was ceded
to the United States by treaty, and on certain
conditions. Without provocation they have vio-
lated the treaties. +" evied war on the United
States thus rendering the treaties null and void.
The country thus reverting to the Government
embraces the valleys of the Red. Arkansas, and
other rivers. and contains about 20000,000 of
acres of cotton land of unsurpassed fertility, ca
pable of producing about 100000 bales OF
cotton per annum. II is proposed to apply the
principle of BentonS" Florida Armed Occupation
Act" and send all eontrahands 10 this territory,
and apprentice them to the settlers upon these
cotton lands, leaving the question of their final
disposition to be settled by Congress at the close
of the war. All contrabands, as fast they
come into camp to he promptly forwarded thither.
The country is approached from St. Louis through
Springfield, a distance of 800 miles. The re-
mainder of the railroad from Rola, through
Springfield to Fort Smith, can be completed in
u months. II is said that the plantations of the
ChociawS and ChickaSaws alone could fully sup
ply the American mills even the first year of the
experiment.

IFoN-PLATED SHIPs.-Speaking of the En- glish
war threats, the Philadelphia North .4merican
says:
There is no reason to be alarmed at the appa-
riton of an English war. The iron plat d ships
we have mentioned are not at all hult. nor likely
to be for year to come. The Warrior and the
Black Prince are ready. but none of the others
are, and all the rest are of inferior size Only
two in process of fitting out-the Resistance
and Defense. None of t Others can be ready
before May next, and most of them not for year
or more. The whole array does not exceed 10
ships We have now three IRON n-paed frigales
under contract and far advanced. E. A. Stevens
has ust built, at Bordentown, an ron-ptated gun
boat steamer, which he has presented to the Gov
ernment. The great iron battery at New York
can be finished without difficulty, and the annual
report of the Navy Department included the con-
struction of 90 additional n-plated ships; so
that instead of being behind the English, we are
more likely to he ahead of them. In the reduc-
tion of Hatteras and Port ROYAL, we have accom-
pliShed with naval vessels what the English lavy
has often allied at We need only confidence in
our Government and our own strength, and we
shall finally prove victorious no matter who may
be our foes.

Mr.. Jones, of Tracy & Cos Express, re-
ports the Columbia frozen solid from the
Cascades to Vancouver, on the lst inst.
and it is his opinion that The boats will
not resume their trips be6ore the middle Of
the present month. AT last accounts, L.
J. Dryer was lying very sick at Honolulu.
The Brother Jonathan arrived at Port
land on the 24th ult., bringing 600 passen-
gers. In consequence of the great num-
Der of people in the tow, the price ol
board has risen from SIS per week to SS
and $40. All the chances on the boats are
taken in advance, and it is said that the
first few trips of the steamer to Dalles will
bring nnthing but passengers. The public
houses in Portland are not equal to the
number of people already there. Ii we
should happen to have such rush in
Walla Walla we should like to kno where
tie people would find accommodations.

SACRAMENTO VS.. SUTTERvILLE.-The Tran
script attributes the overflow at Sacramento TO a
SIN of her people in building the city upon a site
known to he subject to terrible overAows, when
the, might have built upon the high ground at
Sulerville If it was a SIN in building the city
on its present site, cannot be laid to the present
inhabitants, for nearly all the original settlers are
gone and other people have taken their places.
There is one fact. however, that may not be gen
erally known, Suterville was laid out before Sac
ramento; stores were first eSahshtd there. and
1t had the start in every way In the winter OF
1889, it was considered a matter of doubt
whether the town would be built at Sutterville or
at the Fort; but from some cause the trade CEN
tired at what was then known The emharcadero,
and there the city was built. The principal trad
ing firms of the day Brannan e. Co., HenSley,
Reading & Co., and Priest, Lee & Co.-had no
particular partiality fer the embarcaderO, and did
not 90 there until they were compelled to in Or
der to retain their trade. The propretors Of SUIT
terville held out liberal offers to induce merchants
to locate there, but their exertions were of no
avail Sacramento grew rapidly. while the trad
ing establishments at the Fort and at Suttervile
were discontinued. the gentlemen composing
the firms above mentioned we're well aware that
Sacramento was liable to deep owe flows, and
some of them, to our knowledge had been told
10y reliable gentleman that he had seen the wa
ter Is feet deep at what is now Front street; but
it was not in their power TO r. tain the trade at
the Fort, or carry it 20 Suttervlle, so they made
virtue of necessity and located where they saw
the trade was centering.-Ncuada Democrat.

THE WEATHER. = The weather still con-
tinues a fruitful theme for comment in this
locality; but te universal decision now-a-
days is that "all signs fsil, and that
weather prophets, whether scientific or IL
logical, g don't know nothing about it. y
Just before going to press last week, we
made an item co the effect that the snow
was gradually disappearing from the valley;
but on rising the next morning we Nere
surprised to find the snow falling fast
and the ground covered with new coat tc
the depth of for or five inches. That
soon disapr, red, hoN ever, and it has been
thawing slowly ever since; yet, though all
the indication are to the contrary, we have
no assurance that it will not snow before
tomorrow Like the past winter, the
spring, so far, has been unusually severe
for this locality.

Compound Extract Of Sarsaparilla

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill Of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERurrIvE
and SKIN DISEASES, Sr. ASTHoSY's FIRE,
ROSE. or ERysIrELAs. PTMPLEs, PUsTuLEs,
BLoTcHEs. BLAINs and BorLs. TUMoRs, letter
and SALT RHEux, ScALD HEAD, RISGwoRM,
RHEuaArIsM, SyrurLIrrc and MEncURIAL Dis
EASES, DRoPsy, DYSPEPSIA, IDENTITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING PROM VITA
TED or INpuRE BLOOD. The popular belief
in " impwity of the blood" is founded in truth,
for scrufula is degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa-
rila is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
