EDS. STATESMEN :-Hoary headed winter has
at last made its appearance in our midst, and
covered our hills and city with mantle of snow.
As yet, mere coat of whiting, but sufficient to
warn us of that which we may yet expect.
Mercantile business continues to be dull but
provisions are gradually on the rise, owing, per-
haps, to the threatening appearance of the wealth

ken from this place to Boise river mines.
News from Boise mines continues favorable.
Many men, and some families, are leaving here
daily en- route for the new Eldorado This morn
ing was shown a large specimen of gold bearing
quartz, by gentleman just in from Boise, which
he said he had taken from the cropings of ledge
in the vicinity of the new mines, in which gold
seems to be p!entfuly diffused
But little mining is being done here at present
owing to the cold weather and the scarcity of wa

have followed after the general excitement to-
wards Boise, leaving a fine chance to the new
conner in this camp to get good claim, already
prepared for sucing out the gold.

my thanks to you for kindness in sending me your
paper, which is always welcome visitor in this

Editorial Correspondence.
OLYMPIA, Dec. 6, S162

OLYMPIA, Dec. 8, Sl62.
The House effected permanent organi-
cation to-day, by the election of Mr.. T. NJ
Reed, of Idaho county, speaker, Mr.. Jared
Hurd, Chief Clerk, Mr.. Richardson, assist
ant Clerk, Mr.. Mace, sergeant-at-arms, and
Mr.. Shelton, door keeper. The balloting
for Speaker commenced yesterday, and most
of the session was consumed without def
mite result. This morning it was resumed
and upon the seventeenth ballot the above
result was attained. Upon entering the
speakers stand, Mr.. Reed addressed the
members of the Assembly in a brief but
very neat and patriotic speech, assuring
them that he should use his utmost endeav-
ors to so conduct the affairs of the House
as to facilitate its business, and invited the
cooperation of the members. The speaker
briefly adverted to the present national diff
fculties, and expressed the hope that every
act of the Legislature would tend to prove
its loyalty and patriotism. The speech
was we'll received, and at its close was Ell
Enthusiastically applauded.
There was no particular strife in the elec-
ton Of speaker, the differences being based
mainly upon personal preferences. think
the election of Mr.. Reed gives quite gene.
raj satisfaction, as much at least as would
have been secured by the choice of any one
of the candidates.
The Council have not yet made tempo
rary organization. Mr.. SiRms arrived this
evening. There are two members still alb
sent, but it is expected they will organize
soon-in all probability on Monday OF
Tuesday.
1t is source of surprise here that there
is not interest enough felt by the upper
country delegation to cause them to be
present at the Capital upon the opening Of
the session. l am anxiously looking fol-
the members from the eastern side of the
mountains, and hope their arrival may not
be long delayed
The Legislature will no doubt get fairly
at work the coming week.

The MAIL CoNTRAcTs.-We learn by
a private telegraphic dispatch that the mails
for the new routes in the upper country
have been awarded to Louis A. Mullan, at
the following figures:
From Walla Walla to Colville, ria An
tome Plante's, weekly, $4,000.
From Walla Walla to Hellgate, semi
monthly, $500.
From Walla Walla to Orc Fino, weekly,
$4,000.
From Lewiston to Florence, weekly
$4,000.
From Lewiston to Elk City, weekly
$4,000.
All 90 into effect on the first of next
month.
1t will be seen that there is quite diff
ference between these figures and the frs
report received by telegraPh-the whole
amount being $22, SOC instead of $4,000
Mr.. MuI1an left this week for the upper
country to perfect his arrangements for car
rying the mails, and though the time al
lotted him fer this purpose is very short
he informs us that he will have everything
in readiness to begin the work by the time
the contract goes into operation.

SCIENTIFIC ExPLoRATIONs.-The Pres
ident recommends in his message "a scien-
tifc exploration of the Territories, with a
view to the publication of its results at
home and in foreign countries, as the best
means for developing their resources, etc.
Better have recommended, as protection
to miners, the establishment of military
posts throughout the regions where gold
is already known to exist, and that
wouldinsure a. speedy explorations of the
regions-r round about The history of the
mines of the Pacific coast has proven that
the only profitable scientific" explorations
that have ever been made in search of gold
have been those made by the practical mi
ner who knew how to handle the pick and
shovel.

The MESSAGE.

A@AOooebSOs
The Presidents message appears on the out
side of to-day's issue. An extended review Of its
contents would be superhu6us and criticism up
on its style would be unjust, as it has evidently
been badly botched by the telegraph Though
the document is about what might have been ex-
pected from the President, and indicates firm
ness on his part to stand by the principles fore
shadowed by his emancipation proclamation, we
notice that while it is 'just the thing" for many
Of the professed administration journals of Cali
f0rnia, others are rather severe in their criti-
cisms. The former extol the "seeming frmness
and honesty of purpose evinced by the President
in regard to his emancipation proclamation" and
the latter not content with crticisng the docu-
ment itself "pitch into" the President for his
omissions. The Sacramento Union says, $50
much has been omitted which ought to have
been found in the message, that we are inclined
to believe that material portion of the document
has in some mysterious manner been overlooked at
some of the stations in crossing the continent ="
The San Francisco Bulletin contains a similar
criticism, and after thrust at the Presidents
compensation scheme, closes by saying, eve be-
leve this document will go down to posterity as
the most memorable of State papers, partly for
one original proposition, but chiefly for It's extra
ordinary omissions" We find nothing more in
the message either to commend or condemn than
in his former documents. His omission to say
anything in regard to the future use Of the army
and navy is but natural, and without advice upon
the subject, is only consistent with himself and
his title of "Honest Abe" Having heretofore
allowed himself to be swayed by few politicians
of the Greeley school in regard to the movements
and conduct of the army, it is but reasonable
that he should suppose "what has been will be !"
and knowing, too, that this must to great ex-
tent depend upon future developments, he is not
wrong in thus silently admitting that lie don't
kro1o nothing about ii. The candid reader vii!
find enough in the message both to criticiSe
and commend but all will join in what seems to
be the Presidents chief desire-the preservation
of the Union-whether they deem his policy
wise or not.

The Oregon Usurv Law.

The usury law passed at the late session
of the Oregon Legislature is having the eff
feet to induce money-lenders in that State
to invest their capital in real estate and
public improvements. Many are availing
themselves of the privileges of the Incor-
poration act passed at the same session and
are forming themselves into companies for
the construction of various kinds of pub
lie works. The effect of this law will not
be, as many supposed on its passage, to
drive capital from the State, but to advance
the State to the position in the scale of
improvement for which her many natural
resources and advantages so well beft her.
While Oregon has advanced in population
as fast as most new States, it cannot be de-
MED that she has always been behind in
tnat class of improvements which tend to
make State truly prosperous; and for the
reason that the high rs tes of interest which
money has heretofore comftianded there has
kept capitalists from investing in stocks
The interest on money offering a safer and
more remuneratiye income. The law,
which goes into effect on the 1st of Janu-
ary, provides that after that date moneys
cannot be loaned at higher rate than II
per cent per annum, and if higher figure
is charged the lender is liable to forfeit the
whole. We are told that it is the intention
of some of our Representatives to endeavor
to secure the passage of such a law for
Washington Territory during the present
session of the Legislature. 1t is to be
hoped that it will be done, and that it will
be followed by general incorporation law;
for, while it would perhaps CRATE harshly
upon the feelings of few Shylocks at first,
it could not seriously injure them in the
end, and would have decidedly healthful
bearing upon the interests of the people of
the Territory in general Washington is
in no respect inferior to Ofegon in regard
to openings for public Improvements, and
there are thousands of chances where in
vestments Of this kind might be made which
would insure to the capitalist lasting and
profitable income.

Chicago, Dec. Fernando Wood, in speech
at New York, on Saturday last, said he had re-

that this came from leading statesmen-men of
position and influence in the Southern Confedera-
cy-who had expressed desire to return under
Democratic rule. The past should be forgotten

SCARCITY OF GRAIN.-Nats and barley,
we are told, are already becoming scarce in
market, and now command the high price
of six cents per pound at wholesale. Fifty
tons of grain were lately shipped from Van
couver to Fort Walla Walle, to supply the
demand for food for animals at the post
The farmers of the valley are in measure
excusable for this scarcity, owing to the
long continued cold weather of last winter,
during which they were compelled to feed
most of their seed grain to their stock; but
they should see to it that a like scarcity
does not exist next season. With the nat
ural increase of our population and the
consequent large importations of stock,
there will be demand for all the grain
that the farmers now here can produce, and
at remunerative prices.
