We received no letters from our Boise
itemizers by the last express, but have seen
several private letters from there, which
speak in usual favorable terms of the mines.
One addressed to H. j Meacham, from a
friend, says he has found claims that will
pay from one TO two ounces per day He
Ilso states that Moore's creek is the place
for business, and that there is little danger
of over doing the market with any kind of
merchandise required by miners. We have
heard, however, of some letters which have
been received by parties here which do not
paint the picture all in sunshine. They
predict that the mines will be overdone,
and that the diggings will not prove so ex-
tensive as some there think. The MAORI
ty of the testimony, though, is the reverse
of this. Prospecting cannot be done to
advantage, on account of the depth of the
snow-three to five feet-and it is fair to
presume that while some over estimate,
others go the opposite extreme. In either
case it would be well, perhaps, for persons
intending to go to the mines, TO give some
margin to statements before they choose
the Boise region in preference to all other
camps in the upper country, or reject it in
favor Of some other locality.
, 1863-02-21

From all accounts-through private let
ters from the States-the next years emf
grafton across ths plains to this country
will be by far the largest that has ever oc-
Cured. We have seen a number Of let
ters addressed to parties in this valley ma
king inquiries in regard to the country,
and the writers generally state that an un-
precedented emigration may be looked for
next year. From Auburn we hear the
same reports. The glowing description OF
the mineral wealth of the country, written
back by the emigrants there-and in such
characters, of course, as only new comers,
who have for the first time seen gold dug
from the earth can give-has had fever
ish influence upon their friends in the east,
and, with the troubles there, which have
robbed their homes of their charms, will
induce them to come by thousands to the
West
, 1863-02-21
Short Sighted.

We have occasionally heard the remark,
made by visitors to our town. within the
past few months, that the discoveries Of
mines in the Boise and Powder river re-
gions would detract from the trade of Wal
la Walla; that the emigration would ell
be in that direction, &c. Such an idea
is short-sighted at least. On the other
hand, the discoveries of those mines will in
crease the trade here; for prior to their
discovery no supplies went in that direc-
ton from this place; and even, though the
trade that may 60 there henceforth be linn
tied, it will be just that much more than
we otherwise could have counted upon.
And besides, the developing of these mines
is FAST settling up the Grand Ronde valley
with permanent agricultural population,
and the supplies for that valley will mainly
go from this city. The idea that because
these discoveries have been made the rich
placers to the north and east of US will
cease to attract will become obsolete, in the
minds of those who now express the above
opinion, before the mining season is fairly
open. The mines at Orc Fino, Colville,
Bitter Root and Warrens Diggings. it is
generally acknowledged, are yet but fairly
prospected, and Florence still holds out
inducements for large number of miners,
and for years to come these mines alone
will support much larger mining popula-
ton than has ever yet been in the country.
The notion, then, that the trade Of any of
the established towns or trading posts in
the upper country will diminish soon, j, il
logical and with Walla Walla especially
we venture the opinion that, as in the past,
her trade will double with each succeeding
year.

From Oro Yino.

Mr.. Cam, Wells, Fargo & Co. mesIen-
ger between Lewiston and ORC Fino, called
upon us this week and gave u' some inter-
esting items in regard to the Orc Fino
mines. Mr.. c. has been resident Of Orc
Fino since the first discovery of the mines
there, and expresses the opinion that they
will yield more richly in the future than
thev have ever done before. During the
present winter, since the miners have been
unable TO work in their surface diggings,
many have employed themselves in pros
pecting in the adjacent hills by tunnelling,
and have almost uniformly succeeded in
finding rich deposits In many of the tun-
nels prospects have been obtained which in
sure thirty to forty dollar diggings, and the
average will probably not be less than SIG
to $40. Tunnels have been begun at vari-
Gus points along the Orc Fino creek fer an
extent of five or six miles, and the pros
poets all along are favorable for the above
average. The pay dirt is near the bed
rock and varies from two to three feet in
depth. The surface diggings are by no
means worked out and the miners there are
generally contented with their prospects,
and will remain and work their claims in
preference to seeking for better diggingS in
other mining regions.
The new diggings at Bald mountain, al
luded to in our last, are good SO far a, pros
pected, and the claims taken will yield an
average of SIC per day. The gold is
coarser than that obtained on Rhodes
creek, and is found both in the creek and
gulches There had been about three hun
dred persons in these mines but owing to
the depth of the snow-fve feet-prospec-
ing could not be done to advantage, and the
great majority o: prospectors returned to
their homes at Oro Fino and elsewhere to
await the opening of spring before they try
further prospecting there. There are sixty
claims occupied in the Bald Mountain dig
Rings, all of which ere known to be rich,
and the miners there have formed district,
six miles square, and adopted code Of
laws for the government of the mines.

Winter VS.. Chinook.

Winter closed on Sunday night last as
suddenly as it came upon US, and to :he
great astonishment of newcomers gen.
orally. Sleighing parties who went from
the town to the country, or came from the
country TO town during Sunday evening,
awoke in the morning and found them
selves compelled to ride home on the bare
ground. Where there was FIVE and six
inches of snow on Sunday night at ten
o'clock, there was not 'smidgeon" left on
Monday morning The cause of this sud
den disappearance is attributable to the
Chinook wind which arose on Sunday
night, about eleven o'clock-a. first gem
tie, but soon changed to heavy gusts, which
came bowling over the mountains ard
coursing through the valley, making the
frail wooden tenements totter, and causing
the snow to melt as rapidly almost as if un
der the influence of an Arabian Simeon -
Thus after one week of genuine winter
weather=Hof sleigh-riding and conviviality,
sffa Ssfore the irrepressible and fun-loving
Rad become satiated with the sports of the
season-the old Chinook" asserted its
sway, sung the requiem of the departed sea-
son, and opened the way for the advent of
spring. Verify Chinook, thou art great
institution

A WASHINGTON letter of the 4th says: 1t
seems almost impossible to credit the dispatch
per China, that further armed vessels have left
England to prey upon our commerce, and still
others have left heavily laden with arms and am
untion, and with the openly avowed intention of
running the blockade. 1t is only few days since,
we were informed that vessel, taking in arms for
the rebels, had been ordered to unload by the
British authorities and that still another had been
refused permission to depart yet on the heels of
this supposed repentance on the part OF our "neu-
tral" friend, we have the unexpected announce
ment, as matter Of ordinary news, that sever al
other vessels for the service of the rebels have put
to sea. Verify. the neutrality" of John Bull is
most inexplicable, and it is perhaps as well that
we should dissipate all hopes of fair dealing at
once. If he is not an open enemy, he is most
certainly secret one, and as such is far more to
be feared. Secretary Welles has given him some
pretty plain talk in his recent message, and if Mr.
Bull is not thoroughly joined to his idol he may
yet tack about and render his neutrality an
honest one. But the chances are ten to one
against Il
