Letter From Colville.

PUAPKINyILLE, Sept. 29th, 1862.
EDITORS STATESMAN Having been absent
for few days on a hunting excursion, have
very little to send you of what might be called
news. As far as can learn, everything goes on
here m the same old hum-drum style, and dull
ness rules the hour.
Miners come dropping in occasionally, expect
ing to winter somewhere in this vicinity, and con-
tent tor the present, 10 abandon the search for
fabulous regions where gold is said to be found
by the shoyelhll, and settle themselves down to
the more sensible conclusion of fair days wages
for a fair days work.
hear incidentally that party of emigrants
having several white American women in their
train. have for some time been expected here,
with the intention of settling It is to be regret
ted that so very few of that class have been in
duced to settle in this part of the country. Ger
tainly there is no lack of opportunity for them to
make themselves homes, in beautiful and heal
thy locality too.
Since l came to this place have become some
what intimate with gentleman who resided for
several years in Oregon, and who, when first
knew him, was troubled with certain web-like ex-
crescenses on his feet, which had the good for
tune to remove, so that he is now enabled to wear
No. eights, whereas formerly he wore No elevens.
In gratitude for this little service, my Oregon
acquaintance has given me his friendship and con-
fidence. So that was not surprised, when on
reading your article on The Oregon Senate
rial election, he went 10 his desk, and took
therelrom the song which enclose, and which he
said your article reminded him Of Doubtless
you remember the notorious Los'-Valley-S Straight
Out-RepubIcan letter Of the great commentator
on Roman History, the musical Governor of Or
egon, John Whiteaker. Well The song as you
will see refers to that matter. 1t is somewhat
stale, but as has never been published, thought
it might interest some of your readers, especially
those who reside in that humid region west of The
Cascades where skfs are plentiful and gum
boots are appreciated:

OREGON Items.

The Salem correspondents of the Portland pa
pers represent the State Fair as decided success,
notwithstanding the inclemency Of the weather.
All classes of industry were well represented on
the grounds, the exhibitors eyincing considerable
rivalry and interest The Fair closed on the Sd
instant, by trials of speed between the blood stock
of the State the delivery of the annual address
by Hon. R. P. Boise, and horseback riding by
eleven ladies. The address is spoken of by the
Oregonidn as an able effort, delivered to seven
or eight hundred shvering hearers, the speaker
standing bare-headed and exposed 10 the Oregon
mist and cold winds. An address delivered un-
der such circumstances ought to have been pro-
nounced "an able effort" whether it was or not.
The Oregonian states that "Mr I. w. Da-
venport has been appointed Indian Agent at the
Umadla Reservation, in place of W. H. Barn
hart, who proceeds to Washington in a few days
TO settle up, IF he can certain official transactions
connected with this Agency. The contribu-
tions to the sanitary fund in Oregon have reached
the sum of $1O,O22 5S--The steamer Sierra
.NeUada, on her last trip 70 San Francisco from
Portland, took down $326,OOO in dust and bars.
Mr.. Strong states that the entire line of tel
egraph from Yreka 10 Portland will be finished
by the 1st of January next--Ihe memorial to
Congress for the establishment of a branch mint
in Portland, has passed the Legislature. "A
company of troops belonging to Col. Seinber
gers regiment, have been sent to Fort Stella
coom.-The steamer Maria has resumed her
regular trips between Portland and the Cascades,
