New YoRK, March 20.-The Times has
NeWbern letter which gives detailed account
OF recent movements in that vicinity:
On the l3!h-Anniversary OF the battle of
NeWbern-the rebels appeared in heavy force
between Trent and Neuse rivers, and drove in
our pickets. They were held in check by our
cavalry until Gen Palmer advanced with a
portion of his command, when they fell back.
On the 18th they made demonstration against
the Flanderson unfinished earthwOrk. They
commenced bombardment, which did no par
ticular damage. They then demanded surreu-
der, which was refused.
The enemy were commanded by General
Pettigrew, Ir.
They then opened their batteries again OF
short range, and after q brick cannonade again
demanded surrender, which was again refused.
Gen. Foster by this time sent forward rein
forcements, and when the rebels attempted the
assault they were met with such murderous
fife from our guDboais and twenty pound howit-
zers on shore, that they we're forced to fall
back
The action continued three hours, when the
rebels finally retired, having lost heavily 10
killed and wounded. Our loss was but one man
killed and two wounded.

From Port Hudson.

NRw YoRK, March 20-The following ex-
plains something Of recent matters of news
from Port Hudson:
Dispatches from Jackson, Miss, dated the
14:h, reached Richmond, stating that ST.
Helena was attacked in the rear Monday, the
BIB, and that heavy firing was heard there on
the 18th. st. Helena Is a6out twenty Eve miles
In the rear Of Port Hudson, in an easterly d.
rection, and when we remember that the forces
Of General Banks have been for come time
moving in that direction from Baton Rouge
toward Port Hudson, BY Amite river, the heavy
firing may probably be accounted for from the
fact shat Port Hudson is beipg invested by land
and water.
1t is o remarkable fact in this connection,
that the Richmond Whig of the l6 b mourns
over q reverse in the southwest, and 1t is
equally remarkable that Dispatch from Port
Hudson was read in the rebel Senate the same
day, which caused lively sensation.

any who are not for the Union give him
their support it will be because they pre-
fer the election of an honest man whose
principles they do not endorse, to the sue
ccess of the candidate of personal clique,
who not only 'steal the livery of Heaven
to serve the Devil in" but who are in
tensely Union just at this time for the pur-
pose of diverting public attention from
themselves for the time being, by making
false issues, and thereby securing the elec-
ton of "friend at Court" who will per-
NIT them to remain for two years longer
in their comfortable positions, like leeches,
sucking the life blood of the nation.
We call upon all honest Union men of
this territory to place the seal Of condem-
nation upon these selfish patriots, whose
zeal in the advocacy of any cause is pro-
portionate to the amount they can make
out of it, to unite with us in the election
of man who is not only for putting down
the rebellion, but is also for saving the
country from the depredations of such in
ternal foes as compose the Henry clique
Federal officials of this Territory.

The Grand Ronde Valley.
WALLA WAL1A. w. T. May 25th. g


EDS STATESMAN Sir, being on a visit in
your town at this tire. hear all kind of specu-
lations in regard to Grand Ronde valley, and
being a resident of that valley, it Of course attracts
my attention somewhat. 1t is said that a man
could mire a saddle blanket anywhere That it is
so dry that nothing could be raised there /;
that there was nothing sown or planted there
as yet; that everything was up and growing ne,
until one night last week. when there was a hard
frost, killing all the vegetation Of the valley that
it was useless for any person to go there the
claims were all taken up and that everybody
was leaving the valley and that man could
go there and take his choice of all the claims in
the vallty, with good house on it,, and crop
already planted.
In an wer to all Of these assertions permit me
to say, as one that knows, that there is not
sy liable ftruth in it. Our valley is neither to
wet nor too dry; our crops are all planted and
crossing fine, though not altogether so early as
they are here one reason for this is that the land
all had to be broke this spring for the first time
while yours had not. But, notwithstanding all
this, we have planted auout 250 acres Of potatoes
250 acres of corn 200 acres of onions, 5000 acres
of oats, 5000 acres Of barley 1000 acres of wheat
besides large amount of lurn ps and other small
seeds. We have had no frost for over two weeRs,
(unless it has oeen since left there on last
Thursday and nothing was hurt then, except
some vines that were very tender, and | am
informed that about that time there was frost here
to the same effect. There are about 2000 in
habitants in our valley, and about 200 in the town
of La Grande, which is the only town in the
valley La Grande is beautiful place, has four
stores, two smith shops, one hotel and another
one to open in a few days. one meat market one
dairy. and one doctor. We have good school.
consisting of about thirty scholars. We also
have Sabbath school and preaching every Sab
bath. As my company is ready to start back to
Grand Ronde close for the present
Yours, NJ BAKER.

to the late Union Convention at Vancouver, per-
nit me TO say word in your columns. l was
urged to permit my name to go before the con-
venton in view of the unfortunate feeling of
estrangement existing between different portions
of our Territory. l never expected the noml-
nation if the Convention should consider that the
vote in the Territory could harmonic on some
other name. The Convention thought so, and
doubtless has acted wisely. l know Mr.. Raynor
he is loyal, honest, and able, and l accept his
nomination with entire satisfaction, as l should
have done the nomination of some other of the
worthy names before the Convention-gratfed

The Walla Walla and Grand Ronde Wagon
Road

The meeting of subscribers to the Walla Walla
and Grand Ronde wagon road on Wednesday
last was well attended by citizens, both of the
town and country, and the interest manifested on
the occasion was an earnest that no obstacle can
intervene to prevent the early completion of the
road. The proceedings of the NEE ting, as fur
nished by the Secretary, are as follows:
Pursuant to notice the subscribers to the Wal
la Walla & Grand Ronde Wagon Road Compa-
ny met at the Court House at l l o'clock, A. NJ,
When, on motion of James Vandyke, R. R.
Rees was elected President of the meeting and
E. L. Massey Secretary.
Mr. Linkton offered the following resolution
from the old Road Company, passed at meet
ing of that body on the I'd inst, which was re-
ceived:
Resolued That the President and Directors be
authorized TO dispose of, for nominal sum, the
property of the w. w & c. r. W. R. Co, to
the citizens of this valley Provided, they COM
plete the said Road, ana throw the same open
free TO the public. And they are hereby author
lied to offer the same at the public meeting TO be
held in this city tomorrow, and said property to
be transferred on completion Of said Road.
w. A. Mix, S. LINKToN,
Secretary President.
Mr. w. A. Ball presented the subscription
list of the citizens of the city and county of Walla
Walla, amounting, in the aggregate, to s3,441.
On motion, Messrs. Ball, A. H. Reynolds and
J. F. Abbott were appointed superntendents OF
said road, with all discretionary powers to collect
and disburse moneys, and to construct said road
by contract or otherwise.
On motion, the proceedings of this meeting
were ordered published in the WASHINGTON
STATESMAN.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
The gentlemen elected to superntend the work
are well known throughout the valley, and their
names are a sufficient guaranty that the work en-
trusted to them will be well and speedily DONE
They give notice in another column to the sub
scribers to come forward and pay up their sub
scriptions Immediately. They also give notice
that they will receive bids at the Courthouse on
Thursday next for building the road.
The amount subscribed is deemed sufficient. 10
build good wagon Ioad but it is the intention
to make it good stage road ALSO and the Super
intendts will receive further subscriptions for this
purpose. The amount has been somewhat in
creased since the meeting. The road, when com
pleed, will be worth more than hundred dollars
to every man who owns house and lot in town
in the enhancement of the value of his property,
and to every farmer who has forty acres of gran
sown it will be equally profitable in securing to
him the advantages Of the market on the eastern
side of the mountains, for this years crop alone.
Let eve Y one who is interested contribute to the
enterprise, and by the middle Of July we will
have road across the Blue Mountains that can
never be rivaled. Col. Thomas who passed over
both roads two weeks ago, says, this road presents
no barrier TO good stage road, while tn difficult
ties on the old emigrant road, for that purpose,
are quite insurmountable.
