TURNING THE TABLEs-AMERICAN IMPkoPKHt
TIES AND ENGLISH AMENITIEs.-At one time The
English journals used to lecture us roundly On
what they were pleased to term the coarse and
undignifed tone of our newspapers, and the
scenes of violence enacted in our Legislative
assemblies Matters have changed considerably
since then. Our political troubles have had
tho effect Of Christening our tempers and COZ.
recting our ill-breeding, whilst our cousins 81
the other side have been picking up our bad
habits as fast as we have been getting rid Of
them. Surely never did any newspaper ex-
cesses of ours equal in violence and rufianism
the conduct of the English press towards this
country, from the breaking out of the rebellion
down to the settlement Of the Trent affair.
And 40 to the decorous behavior Of EngliSh
legislators, the British public had, the other
day, a pretty sample Of it in tho conduct Of
two noble lords, one of whom had filled, and
the other of whom is at present occupying, the
highest law Office under the crown--that Of Lord
Chancellor. To q charge preferred by the for
mer, in the course of debate, that his successor
had done intentional injustice TO q Lumber OF
clerks who have been removed from the Insol-
vent Court, the keeper of her Majesty's con-
science replied that his accuser " lied and did
so knowingly" Before the English obtained
penny press such scenes and such language, on
the part of public men and newspapers, were
unheard Of. By-and-by we shall be in posi-
ton TO assume towards our former Mentors the
task which they formerly SO freely and un-
sparinrlv exercised towards us.

NosrEssg OBLtGE--Seversl English lords have
recently been hauled up by the courts at the

Joint stock concerns, by which number OF
unsuspecting persons have been defrauded Of
large sums of money. These men belong TO
class whose organs are constantly assailing the
good faith and soundness Of financial and com
mercial enterprises in this country. The moral
is instructive.

The MORAL SENTIMENT or THE PEoPIE-Tm
POLITICIANS AND THE SoLDrsRs-The country
has been brought to tho verge of ruin by the
politicians. They have corrupted the fountains
OF legislation and polluted the purity of the
administrative department Of the government
BY the game Of spoils and plunder which they
have been permitted to play they have broker
up the Union at last, and involved the people
in civil war which is depopulating the coua-
try, destroying vast amount of its property.
impeding the operations Of trade and com,
merce, srresting the progress of manufacturer
and curtailing the agricultural productions u
the great West, to say nothing of the loss to ~
whole community Of the great staple crops -
the South. In addition to these losses tax ~
the most severe kind must DO levied upon every
interest and ell manner Of property ana In
come.
And now, when the country has been reduced
to this condition by Ae politicians, they hail Il
as their harvest time, and are robbing and
cheating the government in shoddy contracsa
in boots and shoes, in breeches, in horses and
mules, in steamboats, and In everything per.
tanning to the necessities Of the war. In truth.
the war il godsend to them, enabling them
to perpetrate all manner Of villany
They are making great fuss about the negroes
at Port Royal, while they overlook not only the
condition of the negroes at tho North, but the
poor families of the brave soldiers who are now
removing the evils which the politicians have
wrought, and saving the country from uttsn
destruction. It is not to any statesmanship b
Congress or elsewhere, not to any wisdom n
the press, that we are indebted for the saliva
ton of the republic, but to the rank and file oi
the army and the officers educated at West
Point And the victory will not be oomplets
nor the harmony of the Union restored, thu
these honest men drive tho public robbers oul
Of place and power and cut up corruption by
the roots. The men who have saved the couAr
try, and not the politicians who have ruined 4
will be best entitled to places Of honor, truse
and emolument, and the people will support
their claims.
This war, therefore, will develop new
order Of things. The men who are now fight
ing the battles Of the country and arc pouring
out their blood like rain will take tho plaoe
hereafter of the scoundrels who have brought
90 much Of disaster upon the republic. Tha
moral sentiment of the people Il reused against
the politicians, and will not be satisfied tilI
they are swept away like chaff before the
whirlwind; and they will not, for the present
generation at least, be permitted again to con
trol-the destinies of the republic.

The Tmmigration.

The California and Oregon papers come
to US teeming with accounts of the proba-
BILE emigration from those States to the diff
ferent mining localities of the upper coun-
try Some of them estimate the number at
from twenty to thirty thousand and the
Yreka Journal, having failed to convince its
readers that all the gold reported to come
from these mines was first taken there from
other mines by schemers, spectators and
steamboat owners, for the purpose of crea-
ting trade and travel, has at last come out
with the truth, aud states that men are leav-
ing eight and ten dollar diggings, resolved
to try their fortunes in the new gold fields
The Journal has made an estimate of the
comparative distances to the mines, and
concludes that a route to them may be OBJ
tanned directly from that point; and in view
of this hypothesis, congratulates its readers
upon the rather remarkable assumption that
Yreka will become an important depot for
the trade arising from these mines. Wheth-
er this is far-fetched or not, we will not
stop to contend. If such a scheme is prac-
ticable-if the future shall develop a route
more desirable than the present great natu-
raj thoroughfare along the valleys, connect
ing northern California with the more east
ern country, it is highly important that the
people should have the benefit of it. It
would also place us in more immediate
overland communication with California
and by so doing would aid in perfectng the
reciprocal relations that exist between us.
The extent of the immigration to this
country during the coming season cannot
be accurately anticipated at this time, but
it will be safe to set it down at fifty thou
sand. This number will be made up from
people already on the coast, and it is rea-
sonable to suppose that the news of the
new gold fields will attract many from the
Atlantic side, not only of the young and
adventurous classes, intent on trying their
luck at mining, but the farmer will seek a
homestead in the neighborhood of the mines
in order to be sure of market for his pro
ducts. This will be the means of settling
up our valleys with thriving farmers. They,
Of course, will bring their families, thereby
furnishing population much to be desired.
Let them come. A thousand avenues of
industry are open for them and numberless
waste places in our valleys invite them to
successful labor.

Weather Sneonlationa-

The speculations relative to the present spell
of weather." which have been induged in by some
of our citizens, would perhaps i'll become preach
er, aud would doubtless be classed under the head
of profanity by less godly men than preachers are
usually supposed to be. However, We will pre-
sent few of them to our readers by way of va
nety.
A downtown acquaintance of ours, who it is
generally understood possesses full share of the
"rocks," and is proverbia for "standing up to
what he says" was Offering the other day to bet
a thousand dollars against eight hundred, that
winter would only be fairly begun by the 4th of
next July. 1t is generally conceded to be a
"knock-dOwn argument when person proposes
to back up his opinion with the "grand cash y
and in this particularly covetous age it is not pre-
sumed that man will propose so rash thing
unless he knows whereof he afirms If this indi-
vidual possesses the gift claimed (even by modern
writer's for Nostradamus or for the Quaker and
other modern prophets or astrologers-who have
foreshadOwed the present American revolution

ocdoOh lOI NOOu IlCICudllS! anu II WOOu is worth
twenty dollars per cord now, how much will it be
worth by the 4th of July?
A retired "probationer" who is growing impa--
tent for "break up" so that he may get off to
the mines, was proposing to a crowd around stove
which he has been warming for the past two
months, to select deputation of ladies and send
them out to solicit subscriptions to raise funds for
defraying the expenses of having a " Chinook
wind sent from the Pacific occan-said wind to
blow until the snow is entirely demolished and
by way of adding strength to this proposition, he
insisted that this is the usual modern way of car
rying out provdental affairs and overcoming evils
citing to Beechers Minnie Rifle movement. and
the consequent downfall of slavery in Kansas, as
well as to this universal plan of cushionng the
pews in the churches and buying automaton
psalm singers"
Another listened to this proposition and very
gravely asserted that it was impracticable; that
the Chinook, or warm winds, did not blow from
the Pacific ocean, but that they were occasioned
by the cold air rushing into the great basin of the
Columbia, the sands of which are heated by the
continual shining of the sun upon them"-citing
the scientific correspondent of the Statesman "
as authority upon this subject,-and suggested,
that the had failed to shine upon said sands
for long time, owing to the great depth of snow
which had by some means got between the sun
and the sand, that said scientific correspondent be
hunted up and set to shOvelng the snow off, so
that the sun might have a chance to draw wind

Routes to saImon Rive.

WALLA WALLA, Jan. %, 1862
EDS. STATESMAN-I notice an article in the
Mountaineer of the 29th ult., under the head of
Routes to Salmon river, which, reckoned bv
the rule Of answering a fool according to his
folly" deserves a passing notice. The editor, in
the article referred to, makes it appear that there
are but two routes to Salmon river, viz: by way
CT the river to Lewiston, and overland by way of
the Grand ROnde valley. In the first named
route, the editor purposely commits blunder
when he gives the distance from Deschutes to
Lewiston at 300 miles, for it is only 27O miles.
Again, in giving the distance from Lewiston to
the mines at 100 miles. he blunders lust % miles
for it is only II miles from Lewiston to the mines.
His indirect assertion that there are but two
routes, when properly understood, is correct; but
when viewed in the light in which he presents it,
is certainly an unpardonable blunder geknows
full well that no trail has ever vet been found
from the Grand Ronde valley to The mines that
old mountaneers who have travelled over that
section Of country pronounce the mountains be-
tween the Grand Ronde valley and Salmon river
lmpassablej that parties have tried to reach the
mines by that route, and have been compelled TO.
re-cr0ss the mountains and come by Walla Waa
that Mr.. Abbott, whom he gives in former num-
bers as authority on the Grand Ronde route has
been unable to find a trail to Salmon river and
instead Of driving his cattle through to the mines
as ne expected TO DO last fall, has been compelled
to winter them in the Grand Ronde valley. l
presume it makes but little difference to Walla
w allaians whether a trail is found by the Grand
ROnde valley to Salmon river or not, as in anv
event they cannot but receive a full share of the
benefits arising from the travel to the mines; but
| submit that the position assumed by the Noun
taineer deserves severe criticism. A large over
land immigration will come to the mines in the
spring, and to have them sent off on E" Meek's
Cutoff" any such like expeditions, is no better
than barbarism. If there is practicable route
by way Of the Grand Ronde valley, the future
will establish the fact; and when that fact is es-
tablshed then it will become the duty of the ed
itor OF the Mountaineer, a public journalist, to
publish it to the world regardless of town or indi-
vdual considerations.
have conversed with two men whom know
to be reliable, who have come from the Grand
ROnde valley this winter, and they positively as
sure me that no road has yet been found from
that place to Salmon river, and they give it as
their opinion that the present excitement upon
that subject is mainly the work of one or two
spectators, assisted by the editor of the Noun
taineer, who has probably been deluded into the
idea that such a road has been found.
/ have friends coming to the mines in the spring
and my advice to them and all others is. if you
take an overland route, come by Walla Wala.-
The road is good one, q have travelled over
every foot Of IT'D and by coming this way you will
run no risks of failing to find ferries or of getting
lost in the mountains. JOHN e. TRIPP.

DALLES, Dec. 30, 1861.
EDS STATEsMAN-The fourth number Of your
paper has reached US, bringing much interesting
information from the fast developing country east
Of US We at this point look to the growth of
that country with hattering hopes of our prosper
ity. It matters little to us on which route the
road to Salmon river is laid. If there are only
extensive mines there, this place will receive its
share Of the benefits.
Our town is now in a very thriving condition
There is not vacant house in the place. and there
is a demand for houses-both dwelling and bust
ness houses. Preparations are being made to
construct railroad between the Dalles and Des-
chuttes. A man has gone east to purchase The
necessary iron, and the work on the necessary
bridges will very soon be commenced | am in
formed. We shall soon expect you Messrs Ed
itors, to tip your hats to us as the iron horse pufS
and snOrts through our streets You cannot fail
to do this in grateful recognition of our enterprise
and of the Inauguration Of railroads on the north
Pacific coast
The progress of business is slightly interrupted
at present on account of the severity of the wintry
weather we are not enjoying Transportation of
goods to the Deschuttes is much embarrassed but
it is hoped that the old year will take away with
it the husky storm, and that activity will be res
tored to business.
A large number of cattle are being bought up
here, at advanced prices, for the Cari5oo market
Cayuse horses are ready sale at good prices.
A report has reached us of the shameful dis
loyalty of Captain Dent, formerly of Fort Hos
kins 1t seems that he distributed large amounts
of ammunition and some arms among the seces-
sonists of Benton county, telling them they might
have use for them soon. If the report is true,
Captain Dent richly deserves the sore penalty
prescribed for traitors
Yours truly, DALLEs

PARTY CONTROVERSY IN OREGoN.-The
Statesman, Advertiser and Argus, have
already joined issues in the erection of
platforms and rules of action for the spring
campaign Of that State. The Statesman is
in favor of an unconditional Union party,
embracing all the Union men of the State,
regardless of antecedents; and suggests
that the friends of the Union meet in the
different precincts and elect delegates to
county conventions, from which a state con
vention may be formed for the nomination
of Union ticket. To this mode of pro-
ceeding the Argus objects, and insists that
a republican convention must be called, very
literally extending to "our Union demo-
cratic friends the privilege of calling a
convention if they choose, at the same time
and place. The Argus man doubtless re-
members the bartering and trading scenes
of the last legislature, and not having re-
ceiyed satisfaction through its results, is
ambitious to take the chances in more pro
ceedings Of the same sort. Hence he in
sists upon a split in the outstart, and we
shall not be surprised to witness a colIusion
between the two factions brought about by
this disgraceful system of bargaining for
the spoils The Advertiser tenaciously
sticks to its old hobby of demonstrating
the democratic party, and hence the oppo-
sition Of that paper to the proposed Union
convention. The OregOnian has not yet
entered the arena-pOssibly waiting to take
its cue from the AdUOcate.
