Dates to Sent. 26th.

New York, Sept 26-Ths afternoons
Washington Republican says the Govern
ment has received glorious news from Gen
Rosecrans, and general good spirit and
cheerfulness prevails in Washington. The
rebel army has not molested him in his
present position.
The special dispatch to the Post, from
the army of the Potomac, says the army is
in motion; transports are loading with
great activity, and it is expected that con-
siderable body of forces will embark with
as little delay as possible Their destina-
can only be conjectured In the meantime
there is equal activity in forwarding troops
in another direction. The Government has
taken possession Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, and no travel for civil purposes is
allowed.
At last advices the main body of the ar
my under Gen. Burnside was at Athens, in
East Tennessee His advance was at
Cleveland, 20 miles from Chattanooga, on
the East Tennesse and Virginia railroad.

ture of the blockade runners Alabama and
Montgomery, Havana, off Ship Island al
so, the destruction of the steamer F0r, all

In regard to the sinking of the rebel
steamer Sumter in Charleston harbor, some
time since, we now learn from the Bermu-
da Gazette that she was mistaken for a
Federal vessel and fired into by Fort Moul-
trie. The same authority says that $50
persons were on board at the time, all OF
whom were saved but 90
There are rumors from below that Gen
Steele was falling back on Helena, and no
cause is assigned for the action. He left a
garrison at Little Rock
Memphis papers say that Jeff Davis has
ordered the release of all criminals in the
State prisons, provided they join the Con-
federate army This adds 5000 to the reb
ell ranks.
The steamer Lunl5Rary, from New Or
leans brings the confirmation of the rumor
that the campaign in:o T'xas has been
abandoned for The present.
Louisville, Sept 90 Burnside was al
Knoxville yesterday. The military au-
thorties here say that Burnside did not
know of the impending battle between
Resecrans and Bragg, and could not rein
force Ro>ecrans if he he had The battle
had been concluded before the news reached

PUTTING IN GRAIN--Many of the farm
ers Throughout the valley have taken ad-
vantage of the opportunity occasioned by
the late rains and are preparing their ground
for their fall crops, and some have already
sown considerable breadth of grain.
THE mining season in the Carriboo coun-
try has closed on account of cold weather.

vast numbers who have visited that country

new discoveries have been made.

PAsToRAL-Reverend Father De Smett
(whose arrival in Walla Walla, from the
States, Uia Fort Benton, was announced
last week accompanied by DR.. j. F Mar
tin, of Dublin, ireland, left in the Wallula
Stage on Tuesday last, en- route for the
States, via Istbmus of Panama. The Rev.
Fathers Headquarters are in St. Louis,
Missouri, where his presence is ever wei
coined by all sects and classes as really a
uenerable Father He must now be sixty
odd years of age The humility of his
daily walk, the simplicity of his attire, pro-
fuudity of thought and beauty of express
sion, added to a sincerely religious charac-
ter of the highest order, combine to make
Father De Smett one of the most versatile
and companionable men in America; and
this has given him an influence over the
hearts and sympathes of mankind which
but few have obtained Mobiles and peasants
alike have loved to do him obesiance The
Indians of the Mountain wild-rich and
poor-one and all, have often had their
hearts made glad around his campfire -
Now that he is approaching the ''sere and
yellow leaf of time" we wish him heartily
placid journey over the eventide Of life.
Rev Father Gazzoli also left here this
week, escorted, as usual, by his regular
Occur d'Alene (Indian) suite, en- route for
the Occur dAlene Mission, of which he
is the Superior. The old gentleman has
been locked up in the Mountains for pc
rod of about twenty years This Mission
is located some 200 miles from Walla
Walla, (via Spokane ferry on the Military
Road, and is a perfect gateway to the
Occur d'Alene and Bitter Root Mountains.

FROM SALT LAKE.-Mr. Jas. McAulif
furnishes us the following extract, from a
private letter dated at Salt Lake City,
Sept 7th, 1868;
This is a queer place, to be sure; man
ners and customs differing from ours just
as much as if it was foreign country
Those in high places are rather down on
us think Yesterday being Sunday, the
discourse in the Temple referred very
decidedly to us. The Saints were ordered
to bring in their grain and pay their dues
to the church, and not to sell to the Gen
tiles on pain of accommodation. Prices
have gone up very much, Flour IS now
held at $3.50 PER hundred; butter SOC per
Id in gold; oats soc and barley 81, 0 per
bushel. Freighting is scarce at from to
10 cts from this place to Boise and Beaver
Head
The people here raise and manufacture
everything they use They seem to have
an abundance of all absolutely necessary
articles; but no superfuities-nary one
In order to get your bitters, you have to be
sick and go to the Druggists, where you
get some toleraby bad brandy. l am ia
ken sick just at this moment and must go
and see him."

CRIMINAL CAsEs.-There are two cases
of capital ofense to be tried at thc 5zg.

mence its session on Monday next-one
that of the solder Kelly, under arrest, on
circumstantial evidence, for the killing of
Thompson, few weeks ago; the other,
that of French for the killing of Clifford
MILITARY.-We are informed that there
will probably be but four companies sta
toned at Fort Walla Walla during the win
ter-two Cavalry and two Infantry compa-
MES Col Maury will go to Fort Dalles.
DR.. w. H. Watkins. who has for the past
year served as Surgeon at this post, has al
so been assigned to Fort Dales. Dr.
Steinberger, we believe, takes the place of

THE IDAHO UNION CONVENTION .-Ac-
cording to previous arrangements, Gov W..
H. Wallace received the nomination for
Delegate to Congress, at the Idaho Union
Convention, held at the Mountain House
on the 29th ult His "Excellency," we
are told, passed through this city this week,
en- route for Boise on IN electioueering tour
We opine he will find that hard place for
his kind, and that he will meet with little
encouragement from the people there We
regard his chances of colOring a meer-
schaum at the expense of Idaho Territory,
as Delegate in Congress, anything but
Aattering. His opponent, John M. Gamma
dy, is no less Union man than he, though
a conservative Democrat, and will no doubt
be elected by large majority.

COMING HOME.-We every day see up
en- our streets the familiar faces of sold set
tiers who have been absent during the
summer at Boise and other mining regions.
Those from Boise generally agree that that
is superior mining country, ard all con-
cur in the opinion that Walla Walla is the
most pleasant place in which to live They
state that by the middle of next month we
may expect large accession to our popu-
lation by returning miners.

A DIscovERY-By reference to 20 V.
rs" letter, it will be seen that party, of
which he was one, belonging to Col Mau-
RVS command, have discovered fall on
Snake river about two miles below the Sal
mon. or Shoshone Falls, which are eighteen
feet higher than the latter-falling from
a height of 1913 feet This fall, as de-
scribed by our correspondent, beats the
world renowned Niagara's by SO feet, and
the volume of water which tumbles over
it must be nearly equal to that of the Nj
agara. However, this party cannot be re-
garded as the original discoverers Of these
falls; for we have seen printed descriptions
given by emigrants, as eye-witnesseS, of the
manner in which the Indians caught Sal
mon there, and it is scarcely to be supposed
that Salmon were ever taken above the first
fall. Still, we have never before seen a
statement that there were two FALLS and it
is not unlikely that the parties who have
heretofore visited that region have some
visited one fall and some the other, thinking
and believing that they have visited the
only fell of Suake river so @. V z. and
his party may still claim to be dscoverers.

CAPT. CRAWFORD of the Emigrant Es-
cort arrived here the fore part of this week
and proceed below. He disposed the prop
erty belonging to the escort at Boise. His
trip across the plains this summer was un-
usually successful. The emigration is all
in, and not a single instance of Indian dis
turbance occurred to them while on their
way.
THE SANT1AM M1NEs.-Joint Stock
Companies are being formed in Oregon, a la
Washoe, to work the new quartz mines, re-
Gently discovered on the Santiam river. The
Oregon Statesman says that one company
with capital stock of $487 500 has filed
its articles ofincorporation. Some twenty
distinct lodes Of gold bearing quartz have
been discovered The Oregon papers re-
port these mines rich beyond the average

COLUMBIA MINEs-1he miners on the
Columbia are still reported to be doing
well-some of them making as high as an
ounce per day. The gold on all the bars
worked Is very fine and is only saved by
the use of quicksilver and copper plates.
Miners generally work with rockers, there
being but few places along the river where
sluices can be set, A great drawback to
mining on some of the bars is the absence
Of wood sufficient for fuel.

The SNAKE RIVER MINEs.-We have
had vague accounts for the past month
of the discovery of rich, coarse gold mines
somewhere on the head-waters of Snake
river but we have failed to find any one
who can give definite account of their To-
cation or extent Every few days some
one comes in from Boise, bringing the cid
story that erich mines have been struck on
the headwaters of Snake river,' and that
miners there are doing exceedingly we'll"

THE OHIO AND PENNSYLVANIA ELEc-
TIoNs-The elections in the above States
will be holden on Tuesday next. In Penn
sylvania, the Democracy are confident of
electing Woodward, their candidate for
Governor. In Ohio the conservative Dem
ocrats will not vote at all, and Vallandig-
ham will be beaten by from 10000 to 4O,.
600 majority, as he should be. This will be
Just punishment to the Democracy of that
State for consulting their passions rather
than their reason in the selection of their
gubernatorial candidate The soldier vote
of Ohio, which is quite large, will be al
most unanimous against Vallandigham.
GOLD IN THE BLUE MoUNTAINs.-Mr
Thos. Cantrell, of this city, has just re-
turned from prospecting trip in the Blue
mountains and reports finding good paying
prospects between the Grand Ronde and
Snake river But band of Nez Perces
Indians (old Jo's) who reside there, claim
the country, and forbid the whites from go
ing there to mine. "Old 10" states that
the whites have paid the other Indians for
their country, and when they have paid
him for his they can go there to mine
The region of country visited by Mr. G. is
only about forty miles distant from this
place, and is the same which Messrs Craip
and Spaulding long ago stated, upon Indian
authority, was rich in gold. We have not
seen MI. c. but gather these facts from 9th.
er sources. Further particulars in future.
WALLA WALLA SoRGHuM.-Mr. T. P.
Denny, one of the enterprising farmers on

He informed us that he constructed a rude
cane crushing apparatus from timber
hauled from the Blue mountains, and al
though the "milP was bad one, he sue.
ceeded in crushing some cane with it, and
manufactured from the juice of the cane
nearly barrel of delicious syrup. He
expects to manufacture two or three barrels
more of the syrup yet this season By
next fall, Mr. D. thinks he will have bet
ter crushing mill, and be prepared to manu-
facture syrup on a more extensive scale
We wish him abundant success, as the pio-
neer sorghum man of the upper country
