STREET ITEM.-Although business in
town is lively and teams and pack trains
fill the streets, and goods lie scattered on
the sidewalks, still news is scarce and items
of local interest are few and far between
The "quiet' people of Lewiston have ar
rived and yet there appears to be no ex-
citement on hand, and none expected
While lettering down the street the other
day, we saw a rush, and heard a very pro-
miscuous swapping and snarling among the
many ours which, with p D." on their
collars, are permitted to rush out and bark
at everybody and every other man who
rides through Main street, and when con-
of " mungrel, puppy, hound and ours of
low degree" and unifornly pitch in to ev-
cry strange dog which makes his appear
ance in our streets. This time all the lit
tie dogs were kicked away, and two dogs,
one black and the other grizzly gray,
were allowed to have free fight all to
themselves. The crowd gathered round
and with locked shoulders and heads
ranged in close ring, watching the COM
bat with intense interest A yoke of cat
tie were offered on the black, as he kept a
fast hold on the neck of the gray, and 9TH
ers offered claim in Salmon on the gray
as he seized the black by the leg. AS the
fight progressed the crowd gathered into
dense circle, four deep, around the com
batants. Those outside were radical to get
in, while those inside were conservative to
keep in, and the contest cf bystanders to
become 6 conservatives vas amusing and
exciting "Spread your legs, SO that we can
see underneath" was the cry of the ex-
treme radicals. "Open out the ring and
give the dogs chance was the cry of the
outside circle. " Two to one on the black"
was echoed by the conservatives, and thus
the war wagel and the crowd increased.
AS the heat was great, the dogs got out of
breath, and hats were used by the friends
of each in tanning the dog they :" bet on"
The combat ended, both parties, according
to the custom of the day, claimed the vic
tory; but we think it was drawn battle,
closed by masterly, strategic move
ment," when both combatants retired be-
hind their entertainments.

AUBURN, POWDER RIVER MINES,
Sept. 1st, 1862.
EDS. STATEsMAN-Last week two meetings
were held here in order to form temporary code
of laws until we get civil law-but owing to some
misunderstanding of certain obnoxious passages,
they were by third meeting repealed.
On Saturday night the Ditch Company was or
ganized and $4,000 worth of stock taken up
After Wednesday contracts will be let to bring it
in, and in about a month 1900 inches of water
will be in use here for mining purposes.
Emigrants are pouring ir here by hundreds,
and for nearly mile the town now extends, oc-
cupied by houses as well as emgrant wagons.
Over $50 families, and children in proportion
are now here Above 5000 people will winter
here, and it will take over 600 tons of flour, be-
sides other stuff, to fed them. The cost will be
over $4,000 for that one article in freight on
ly; so that if every merchant from here to Port
land does not do something, we shall be obliged
to look to California for supplies.
Business is good, and buildings are running up
fast all around.
The emigrants are in many cases prospecting,
and have heard of several who have found new
and rich diggings. VIAToR.

Description of Vicksburg and VII
cfnttY.

Vicksburg, city and port of entry, capt.
tai of Warren county, Mississippi, is situat
ed on the Mississippi river, four hundred
miles above New Orleans, and forty.four
miles and half west of Jackson, the cap-
tai of the State on the line of the Southern
(Miss.) Railway. Jackson is the terminus
of the New Orleans aud Jackson Railroad,
which extends from the Crescent City to
the latter place, distance of one hundred
and eighty three miles, and here connects
with the Mississippi Central railway run.
ming to Grand Junction, distant 2I2 miles,
1t will thus be seen that by the movements
on Vickshurg not only is the capital Of
Missippi threatened, but Beauregard's com
munication with the southwest is 10 danger
fleeing cut off The situation OF Vcksburg
is elevated, the ground uneven, and the
city is not compactly built. 1t contains,
beside the county buildings, four or five
churches, and several academies for both
sexes. Before the rebellion, three or four
newspapers were published here--the most
important being the Wing (American), and
the Sun (Democratic). Vicksburg is the
most commercial place on the river between
Natchez aud Memphis. and is an important
mart for cotton of which article about
100000 bales were formerly annually ex-
ported The greater part of this was re.
ceived by railroad. Warren county is stu
ated in the western part of Mississippi, Dor
dering on Louisiana, and has an area OF
about seven hundred and twenty-five miles
1t is bound ed on the west by the Mississippi
river; on the southeast by the Big Black
and intersected by the Yazoo river The
surface is generally level and low, except
in the vicinity of Vcksburg, where the Wal
nut hills rise several hundred feet above
the liver. The soil is alluvial aud very
fertile, producing cotton aud Indian corn il

attacked by party OF MissOurians, had
one man killed and several taken pris-
Oners.
During all these months he has led
wild, strange life. He seems TO have
made his principal headquarters at At
Gibson and Elwood. Soldiers have been
constantly looking for him, and have
twice nearly captured him; but audaci-
ty, bravado, and cat-like stealth have
been his preservers till now.
His band has never been large, and he
often travelled alone. His skill in dis
guising his appearance and voice were so
great that even TO those who knew him
well he seemed each day different man.
And this, too, although he was more
than six feet in hight, and had form as
straight as an arrow. Some persons,
blessed with more Imagination than
brains, believe he led a charmed life.
They called him the "Phantom Horse
man of the Prairie" and told strange
stories of his prOwess and good fortune.
How many men he had killed, how many
horses he had stolen, how many houses
he had plundered, no one can tell.
There are hundreds of persons all
through the State who sincerely believe
that he was an honorable man; that he
was actuated by pure motives; that his
courage was genuine, and that he never
molested Union men until Union men be-
gan to hunt him down.
1t is probably true that this war, which,
TO a people accustomed to peace, has
brought forth such new and astounding
traits of character, has not yet produced
such another marvel as Cleveland--a
man whose story will be told around the
firesides for hundred years TO come, as
one of the most brutal of villains-as ono
of the most romantic heroes.

The theory that Northern soldiers are

the Dispatch prints an account Of the

our soldiers at Williamsburg, il asserts
that, Of the soldiers of Gen. Banks army

wantonly slaughtered in the farm yard

been proven by an eye witness, that
even the dogs, cats and rats encountered
on the march of the horde, were killed

tokened starvation. Indeed, they had
no commissary, and it is believed that
