SATURDAY MORNING, AUG. 80, 1862.
A Test of LOYALTY.

We last week made mention of the fact
that some of the Portland merchants in
sending out their bills to creditors, endorsed
upon them the words, "To be paid in U.
S. gold coins" and are since informed that
the legal tender notes of the government
are in such bad repute below as to have
already fallen to a discount of fifteen per
cent. on the dollar, and that they are being
banded about in the commercial and busi-
ness circles, having been subjected, like
any other circulating medium, to the schem-
ing traffic of exchange. We are surprised
to learn that people who are inclined to
boast of their loyalty to the government,
who claim to be willing to ''vote the last
dollar and the last man" in the deferse of
the country, and who set themselves up as
the embodiment of the purest patriotism,
should upon the very first opportunity af
forded to prove their professed devotion,
throw off on the government, and by their
refractory conduct practically nullify its
provisions. We say we are surprised to
learn that professedly loyal people should
so readily fall into the ranks of Wall street
brokers and shavers in this traitorous cru
sade against species of currency which has
been pronounced to be legal tender by the
law making power of the country, and
which therefore must obtain general circu-
lation And why is it that the circulation
of these notes has taken in the outstart this
equivocal direction? At first thought, it
is difficult to determine. 1t is not deemed
an unsound, "wild cat p" currency, for GER
tainly Union men have faith in the final
triumph Of the government. 1t cannot be
based upon any reasonable objection to pa
per currency as circulating medium, be-
cause for all practical purposes the notes
are just as good as the gold.
The truth is, this depreciation of the val
ue of the notes is purely matter of bro
kerage, and has had its origin among mon
ey-changers and schemers. And it is humil-
iating to see how plant the American peo-
pie become, and how willingly they yield
to the contemplate dictum of these shylock
usurers, when such conduct avoids the loss
of a few dollars in business transactions. 1t
is burning disgrace to the nation and the
people, and most severe reflection upon
their patriotism. 1t is not only the duty of
the people to do all in their power to up
hold the credit of the government, but it is
their manifest interest to do so. The gov
ernment becomes responsible for the re-
demption of every dollar of this paper, and
upon the maintenance of the government
and its responsibility rests the safety and
success of all business operations 1t would
be bad enough at any time to see legal ten
der notes of the government brought into
disrepute and discount, but at this particu-
lar time, when the nation IS being stcaitened
to its utmost tension, and when an opportu-
nifty is afforded the people to contribute to
its maintenance by promptly upholding its
credit, it is a. most pitiful and humiliating
spectacle

FINE SPEcIMENs.-Two specimen"
from the quartz lode, near Auburn, have
been on exhibition at Wells, Fargo 81
Cos Office during the week, one of which
weighs $6S and the other $50. They are
almost entirely solid gold-intermingled
with decomposed quartz; the finest quartz
specimens that have been found in the up
per country, and are sufficient evidence of
the richnes of the mining region from which
they came.

ANOTHER MINE OF WEALTH IN THE
UPPER CoUNTRY.-We were told a short
time ago by DR.. Newell, that fine marble
and lime quarry was discovered last spring
on the Lapwai, near Lewiston. A com
pany was formed al the time of the dis
ccvery with the intention of working the
quarry at some future day; and both spec
linens of the marble polished and lime
burned by them proved of excellent quail
ity. This quarry, situated as it is, not far
from point of navigation, cannot but
prove, in time, mine of wealth to its
owners.

REoovERING.-Mr. Sper1y, who was,
shot last week by Wilson, seems in fair
way to recover. A subscriptions was cir
culated this week for his relief, and some
$500 subscribed.

ANOTHER New GOLD FIELD.-We
learn from reliable source that rich gold
deposits exist to the north of Snake river,
the trade and travel to which are destined
to equal that which took place last season
to the Salmon river region. The exact To-
cality will be made known to cur readers
at no distant day by the parties knowing

PoRTLANDERs.-Judging from the num-
Der of Portlanders in our city at present,
we should think there had been general
exodus from the webfoot metropolis
Among the numb er our old and esteemed
friend ]. w. Cook very unexpectedly
stepped into our sanctum. They generally
seem to be highly pleased with our town,
and most of them threaten to return and
settle. We can't blame them for apprecia
ting as they do the purer atmosphere and
brighter skies of the upper country.
, 1862-08-30

WANTS TO KNow.-A nervous friend
of ours wants to know if it would be con-
stitutional for the city fathers to pass an
ordinance preventing ox-teamsters from
cracking their whips when passing through
our streets. A young man with red shirt,
who drives four-yoke OK team, annoys
him exceedingly by showing off " in this
way. He says he g could stand it to hear
that internal musket sound once, but to
have it rung in his ears two or three hun
dred times while the team is making the
transit from one end of Main street to the
other is more than weak nerves can bear p
The city fathers can consider the question
open for discussion.
, 1862-08-30

BRIDGE Across Mill CREEK-Mr> c..
S. Bush has circulated subscription dur
ing the week, and raised about eight hun
dred dollars for the purpose of building a
bridge across Mill Creek at the upper end
of the city. In addition to this sum, the
city council have subscribed five hundred
dollars 1t is highly probable that sbe
bridge will now be built
, 1862-08-30

WARREN's DIscovERY.-We have seen
number of persons during the week who
have visited the new mining region south
east of Florence, known as Warren's 8
discovery. Some of them bring encour-
aging accounts of the mines, while the
statements of others are quite the reverse.
The majority of the testimony, however,
goes to substantiate the reports heretofore
published in relation to the diggings-that
the mines are not extrayagantly rich, but
that they are extensive.
, 1862-08-30

LULA-Wallula is just now max
ing rapid strides in the "march of improve
ment." Teams are almost every day pass
ing through our streets loaded with lum-
Der for that city, and buildings more sub
stantial than canvass are being erected
there. Mr.. Whittingham has built fine
private residence Messrs. Kreider & Nc
Mahon have a hotel nearly completed /;
Vansyckle & Co. are building large ware
house; Wells Fargo & Co. are building
an express Office, and in fact everything
there is said to be thriving. D. S. Baker
q Co. have started an opposition town in
which large warehouse is already loom
ing up. With two lines of steamers run
ming semi-weekly, the vicinity of the ola
trading post of the Hudson's Bay Compa-
ny will soon lose the appearance of des-
ert sandbank and assume the more useful
and becoming position of the head of prac-
ticable navigation.
, 1862-08-30

For POWDER RIvER.-Large numbers
of miners from the upper country are every
day passing through our city, on their way
to Powder river. Generally, they do not
bring the most cheering accounts of the
Orc Fino, Elk City and Florence mines
and but for the fact that the express com
panies alone bring down from $50, 900 to
100000 and upwards per week one might
be led to suppose that these mines were
not panning OUT as largely as formerly.
A sight at the treasury boxes will in
stantly dispel any illusions of that kind

From COlville.

By the arrival of DR.. Perry, late army
surgeon at Fort Colville, who reached Wal
la Walla on Thursday last, we learn that a
train of emigrants, from Kansas, with six
wagons, reached Snake river on Tuesday.
They intend locating at Walla Walla.
From the same source we learn that very
rich mines have been opened on the Pen
dOreille river, near the mouth. One man
took out $500 in one week. The gold is
very coarse 1t is found along the banks,
on the bars, and in the fats.
Miners were also at work on the Colum-
bia, from point eight miles below Fort
Colville to the mouth of the Spokane, max
ing good wages. Cinnamon were offered
S. per day to work sluices, but refused, as
they could do better for themselves Pink
ney city was almost deserted.
The crops in Colville valley were repre-
sented as excellent
The troops were bringing in water to
the Post from Mill Creek.

FhsFe is at present on exhibition and trial
at the Government Arsenal in Washington,
a novel instrument Of death, in ihe shape Of
q revolving or rife cannon. Its construction
q e follows; There are eighteen rifed barrels
plsced parallel to and equi-distant from g
centre shaft with open breech, and revolving
similar 10 the old Allen revolver. By the
application Of q beVeled gear, these barrels
ere put in motion.
The charge is inserted into the open breech
while passing a small hopper or receptacle st
One side, and opposite the centre shaft. One
nan turns a crank while another feeds in the
prepared charges, aud as each barrel passes
the hammer directly above the centre shaft,
the charge is exploded, and away goes the
Minnie ball weighing one and half ounces
on its mission OF destruction. The range of
this gun e two miles, and may be discharged
with ordinary working at the rate of forty
balls minuts. The gun is set to q partieu-
lar point and set at work; its range viii not
vary while in operation, and the accuracy
with which it throws its proiectiles is truly
wonderful.
The whole weight Of the gun, mounted up
on wheels, Is only six hundred pounds, rem.
