Open the Trail.

The opening of the trail from here to Grand
Ronde Valley is matter of the utmost import
ance to the business men of this city. Letters
from below inform us that when the people there
have the assurance that our road is open, we may
expect all the travel by this City. Roads are be-
ing opened from the various points along the
river, and our people here should not allow them
to get the start of u.s. r
We have the advantage over every one Of these
places in every respect, excepting an open road.
Our route is nearer we have goods in abundance
to supply miners, which the other places have
not and our road, when once cleared of snow,
is universally pronounced the best route across
the mountains. But these advantages are of no
considerable Importance unless we make them
practicable by at once opening our road. Other
places getting tie start in this respect, must keep
it, for time at least, and what they may lack in
the way of supplies can soon be made up unless
we at once place ourselves in position to COM
pete with them in point of avenues for travel If
the road company cannot open the road it can be
done otherwise, and by only very few days la
Dor and at very small expense. Let every one
take an interest in this matter and push the work

Trim to Bose. No. 2.

EDS STATEsMAN-My last letter was from
Grand Ronde valley, where l promised you the
balarce of the account of the journey to Boise
when we arrived. r
The snow being too deep to keep the old emil
grant trail, we proceeded to the left OF the hill to-
ward the upper end of the valley on what ex-
Judge Horton calls Elizabeth Creek but what
is usually known as Catherine Creek. On the
way we passed the immense warm spring, or lake,
which will make a noise in the country when fu-
ture generations of lads and lassies go there to
dance and enjoy the splendid indulgence of swim
ming in the puie but tepid waves OF his beautiful
sheet of water We travelled twenty miles and
stopped at a small house, without floor, but better
for shelter than the sleet storm, and remained
there till morning, obtaining meals and food for
our animals Here the adventurer will commence
finding the Auburn "cappers," and most every
body viii tell you to go round by that town sure
though they are not particular to state that it
is forty miles out Of the way.
Directly across to Yates ranch, on Burnt river,
the distance is about forty miles while round it is
nearly eighty.
The weather was very bad, but we made Yates
place in little more than three days, having to
DIG our way through snow mountains and camp
thoraea, iti greeu s~ill for fAel endin
hay at the several houses for our animals. Leav-
ing Yates we crossed Burnt river eleven times
and made a distance of twenty-six miles down it
to where we leave and cross over to Snake, six
miles. Near By is Ods' ferry, which is probably
nearer by fifteen miles than by the upper or
Washoe ferry which route we took, the road being
better one in every respect but very dangerously
exposed to the murderous and theving attacks OF
the Snake Indians. We leave the old emigrdnt
road at little willow sulphur spring, and p; o.
ceed direct fifteen miles to Snake river at the
Washoe ferry. If the Government should station
some soldiers hundred and fifty miles above here
they will be out of harms way and give the boys
chance to fight and kill the Indians in the prop
er manner. M
If you 90 to the Washoe ferry you avoid the
crossing of Payette and several other smaller
streams. We travelled up Payette fifty miles,
taking care to keep moving all day and hide
away after dark to avoid Indians, and we slipped
safely through-though more than half of the
many we have seen have either lost their stock
by Indians or been attacked by them while
sleeping in their tents. Tell everybody to come
we'll armed, and guard we'll their stock. Leav-
ing Payette it is about eighteen miles into the
Boise mines over snow mountain, which at this
season is almost impossible for animals, though we
succeeded in getting them into the first town,
which the sage-heads have dubbed with the Cali
fornia name of Placervie, and are about to have
an Ell Dorado and Centrevile; decidedly not
original cognomens.
The best mines are said to be on Frank More's
creek. They are oil 'cracked up high, but
don't believe the half hear; Pm I. G.

the same day she came within range of Fort
Taylor, only 500 yards distant The ram engag ed
the Fort and the third shot from the r, IS
struck her crushing through the deck. Her men
fired once after this and then deserted the guns
il. this emergency. Col. Elet ordered the pilot
to back out and in attempting to do SO ran
aground. The next shot from the rebel Fort
broke the lever Of her engine and a succeeding
one cut her steam pipes in two, completely dis
ablng her. Twenysix of the fifty-one white
men aboard escaped. The steamer De Soto.
which accompanied her as a transport, was
blown up to prevent her falling into the hands of
the enemy.
The London Times ridicules the Lord Mayor
for his bringing into prominence the rebel Mason
and shows the affair was without significance. 1t
says Mr.. Masons remarks about the early recog-
milton go far ahead of the facts and that when the
Federals find themselves obliged to leave the
Confederates in the quiet possession of their
States then will be time to discuss the question Of
recognition, and that Mason has received no as
surance or encouragement except from irrespon-
sible persons. Hria

On Wednesday night raid was made on our
lines by two rebel cavalry Brigades of Lee and
Hampton's forces. They crossed the Kappa
hammock at Kelseys Ford ard succeeded, by a
strong attack, in breaking our thin lines of cava-
ry outposts at one or two points, and captured a
few of our men. Our cavalry outposts and re-
serves were brought into line Immediately and
re-establiShed. a force was sent in pursuit Our
capture included two or three officers. The rebels
having failed in accomplishing their object re-
turned in great haste across the Rappahannock-
telling trees across the road and placing other ob-
structions in the way of the pursuing force. The
cavalry sent cut in pursuit has not yet returned.

THURLow WEED on SLAVERY AND THE ABB
oLlT1oNIsTs.--Says the Albany Evening journal:
Slavery is the cause of rebellion. Slavery con-
ceiyed matured, ripened and precipitated rebel
lion. Slavery is responsible for this great wick
edness and greater calamity. It's utter destruc-
ton is just and only sufficient penalty But
slavery, unaided could not have united the whole
people of the south in rebellion. 1t was assisted
as a governor of South Carolina sad "by their
best friends at the North, the abotionists" The
South, but for such northern auxiaries, would
have remained divided on the question of disun-
ion. The Union had hosts of devoted friends in
Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, ETC., who
would gladly have stood by our flag if ultra ADO
litionsts would have allowed its protecting folds
to embrace them. But abolition fanaticsm is as
senseess in war as in peace. Ever welded to a
fallacy sit hugs it to the last" 1t is not that we
have any tenderness for slavery, or would spare
it, or tighten any blows that can be struck at it.
that we differ with Sumner, Phillips, Gerrit
Smith and Greeley, but because we see in the as.
tendency which their incendiary policy is acoui-
ring in tie government and among the people an
inevitable triumph for rebellion and slavery and
the consequent separation of the States, destruc-
ton of the Government and ruin of our country
And here, and now, we desire to make a record
of this opinion Time will test--all too soon we
fear-its soundness or its iallacy
The soundness of the above opinion is becom.
ing more and more apparent every day.

Fortress Monroe, Feb. 21.-The Richmond
Enquirer of the 18th expressed great Indignation
against NJ. De pHuys' peace plan, and scorn all
idea of mediation. 1t says that the only Comis-
sioners they have are Lee, Beauregard Long
street, Jackson, and Johnson. In reference to the
proposed conference it SAYS that it s4well that
Washington Government should refuse the sug-
gestion. Conferences are good and battle is good
but both together would be too much The French
Emperor was snubbed by England, lectured by
the United States, and he will end as he ought to
have begun, by recognizing the Confederacy and
sending minister to Richmond. Until he brings
himself to this point the Confederates will no
more thank him for his interference than the
Yankees will

Bakers Bay, at the mouth of the Colum-

into importance and we are informed that
speculators are doing the head-work of
making it place of magnificent proper
tions, with a view to rivaling Portland
Such a scheme might have succeeded ten
years ago, but with the large capital that
has been concentrated at Portland, and the
position it has attained as commercial
point, there is little prospect of any point
on the Columbia ever out-rivaling it.
