The London Times of the 9th ult.
commenting upon the late U. S, eIec.
tions, says: '
The result Of the October elections
is the most important event that hn5
yet occurred in the interests of peace
Tho great States of Ohio and Indian,
which form the geographical cente, Of
the Northern territory, have gone
against the Government, emphaticaily.
Even Pennsylvania, the State that was
blibed to desert her party, and that
brought in Mr.. Lincoln as the result of
that corrupt bargain-even that State,
now that she has got her Merrill Tar.
iff, begins to forget her benefactors. If,
however, the success Of tho opposition
be ever so great at the elections OF tho
coming week, it is not to bo supposed
that TINS will terminate the war. 1t
would largely assist to that end, but it
conld not produce it.
Many Of the Democratic party are
anxious tor peace, but the majority
will continue the struggle until some
crisis occurs. The difficulties in the
way of their proposing peace are, in.
deed, enormous. With peace, excite
ment ends, reaction sots in, fortunes
collapse; tho day arrives for recrimina.
tions, actions at law, mpeachnents; for
depressed trade, exhaustion, penury.
All this must inevitably come, but who
will have the moral courage to bring it
upon their own heads? This is why
the impossibility Of subjune the South
is plainly seen in Europe, and 20. can
not be seen at New York. They can
not see it because they will not see it,
They prcior to smut thclr oyes and 90
on. Hence the Influence that is to end
this war must come from withous not
from within.

4 Substitute for Shoes.-An able and

Il Substitute for Shoes. An able and
experienced citizen has called cur 1T.
tention to. the subject o. the CGc Of
cowhido moccasins as p substitute tor
shoes He states that wAcA he movod
to tho Mississippi, fifty years ago, no
shoes were to be had tor tho negroes,
and thoy made their own cut OF this
IN aterial, which answered tAo pG:pose
as well as the more cl2b9rateiy made
article, and in some respects better.
The process is simple. Take q green
COW hide, or one HeN soskCd, with the
hair on--which is 20 go neEt 70 the
loot-"put .he foot down mly" upon
it. end cut out the pa.tcrG deGired,

shape Of tao lattor, Will il liz cl-,cient-
ly substantial for oil kinda 0! troy 0ling,
and its elasticity is preserved 5y use.
Socks should be put On WkeA ii Is made,
though it c&n DO woln withort, and
such allowance be made tor shrinking
so as to avoid too sight ct. The
moccasin, it Is scarcely necessary to
observe, adopts itself to the shape OF
the foot and the it is perfect 1t out
wears leather, and iG not hard, as some
might suppose, but onito tho reverse.
If desired, it can DC half soled with the
same material The hair lining gives
the advantage of warmth, SO that socks,
when not to be had, can be better dis.
pensed with when moccaslns are used
than ii shoes were worn.
The gentleman to whom we are in.
debted for this suggestion says that he
has mentioned the subject to soldiers,
who are very much pleased with it,
and say there is no reason why soldiers
should 60 barefooted while 30 many
hides are thrown away In camps.
We think the idea valuable ono,
and would be glad that every newspa-

NOTE BY THE SECRETARY. publication
of these laws intended for the benefit of persons
who come into the mines after their passage. The
laws heretofore in force were considered very OBJ
jectonable by many, and were disregarded and
in many cases persons who had located claims,
and were working them under the old laws had
their rights trampled upon. Hence the reason Of
the passage of new laws. The miners are deter
mined to enforce these laws at all hazards The
old laws contained an article prohibiting any per-
son from purchasing more than two claims, but
this has wisely been repealed. Now man is al
lowed to buy and hold all the claims he buys, pro
vided he pays for them.

Mining operations are suspended from
severe cold weather-the mercury falling to
thirtyfour degrees below zero. There are
about 1900 miners here Shovels are in
great demand there are rome in market.
There are no nails in market they would
bring one dollar per pound. Great prepa-
rations are being made for building log
houses; men are already employed in haul
ing the logs on sleds. The mines are ex-
tensive, and all are in good spirits. The
general health is good, with the exception
of occasional instances of colds and coughs.

FEB Sd, 1862-The weather, which had been
extremely cold up to the last of January-the
thermometer ranging at from % to 80 degrees
below zero-has so much changed that thaw is
anticipated.
Neither of the Express Companys which made
regular trips up to the first Of January from Walla
Walla here, have not been heard from since that
time, and in lieu of their non-arrval, volunteer
Expressman leaves here to-day, carrying with him

SLEDs, JUMPERS, AND PLANK SCOws.-
1t is amusing to witness the variety of con-
trivances, in the shape of vehicles, which
are from day to day leaving this town for
the Salmon river mines. Some of them
are jumpers made with two crooked poles,
rugged for one horse-and the harnesses are
generally made out of straps of heavy drill
ing, presenting a crude and exceedingly lu-
dicrous appearance. Many are starting out
with hand-sleds, upon which they haul
their provisions, blankets, etc. A couple Of
men passed through town the other day
with the queerest and most unlikely of all
contrivances 1t appeared like broad
heavy slab, the edges and front end round
ed up-we suppose to decrease the friction
and more than a mule load of stuff was
packed upon it. With rope attached the
men went tugging along the way. If men
with such contrivances can m Ike a success
full trip to the mines, they will be almost
sure 20 find good claims.

FLORENCE, Jan. Goth, 1862.
MEssRs. EDIToRs.-The only thing new
or worthy of note that has transpired here
of late has been the discovery of very rich
quartz lead, running a north direction
into hill facing Smiths Gulch. The lead
has been traced to a considerable distance
and thus far proves to be SO rich in gold as
to be visible, to the naked eye. Some six OF
eight claims have been staked off and recor-
ded, which, however, wul not be worked
until spring. The news from the Soutl
side of Salmon is still encouraging and par
ties are leaving here almost daily, going il
that direction. Occasional discoveries O
new and rich paying gulches are reported
being found in this vicinity, but such re-
ports generally need confirmation.
There was code Of mining regulations
adopted by the miners of the Salmon river
mines in September last and egain revised
at general meeting of miners held on the
18th inst, a copy Of which it was resolved
should be forwarded to the Washington
Statesman for publication. After the ad-
journment of the miners meeting an attempt
was made by Office seekers, we presume,
to get up a citizens meeting, the object Of
which was to nominate candidates for the
offices of a Justice of tie Peace, Consta-
Bile. and an Alcalde, besides several minor
officers; then to place such candidates in the
field, to have them elected, and then, lastly,
to petition the Washington Territorial Leg
islature, now in session, somewhere, to have
the acts of said officers legalized. But as
the effort to call such meeting proved flu
tile, tits feared we shall be deprived of the
benefit of civil officers until the next July
election

For THE MINEs.-Seyeral parties have
left town during the week. en- route for the
mines. A number have gone on foot, carry
ing only their blankets with them. Those
taking pack animals with them, intend stop
ping on the mountains of the Touchet or
Tucannon, until the snow goes off. Both
we fear will have a severe time of it the
footmen, by reason of the cold and the
scarcity of provisions on the road, and the
packers in finding suitable pasture for their
animals. There is no food on the road for
animals, and those turned out to Craze upon
the hills at this time, without any other
food but the little grass they can obtain,
will be in poor condition for packing into

THE KLAMATH TRAIL FROM YREKA.-
During the past few weeks we have con
versed with men who have travelled the
above trail from Yreka to this place. From
the information we can gain regarding the
character of the route, we judge it will be
travelled TO limited extent by men on
horse back and with laden animals. 1t is
impossible to get through with wagons
The route is located on an old Indian trail,
and runs parallel with and near the spurs OF
the Blue Mountains The traveller by this
route to the mines, viii find it eighty or a
hundred miles nearer by keeping the trail,
which crosses the south fork of the Des-
chuttes, John Days river, and Umatilla,
some distance from their mouths. We
learn the crossings are practicable.

No GRAND RoNDE TRAIL.-All the
evidences that come to us from time to time
regarding this visionary trail, are to the same
effect as published in our columns, viz: no
trail whatever yet open, nor no feasible
route yet discovered. We desire to keep
this fact before the people of the lower
country who contemplate coming to the
mines, and hence our frequent illusions to
the subject Besides, we are aware that
there are parties interested in this Grand
Ronde country in private speculatiOns; and
they are using every means in their power
to induce men into the valley, probably
hoping in this manner to get route through
to the mines at the expense of Travellers
Mr.. Nathan Smith, who came into the
country as early as 1843, and who has
known more or less of the country in ques-
ton ever since his residence here, has been
recently engaged in trying to secure
practicable pack trail from Grand
Ronde to Salmon river for the purpose of
putting ferry on Snake river. He was
assisted by men most conversant with the
country, and even offered a reward of one
thou md dollars to any man who would
sbsw him route through which he could
make pack trail, Mr.. Smith informs us
TIL. he did not succeed, and that he be-
lieyes it utterly impossible to find even a
passable pack trail through that country
He makes tie standing offer of one thou
sand dollars to any man who will show him
the route,
