The Vallandighammers.-.Mother
and Brother.

We see it stated in one Of our exchanges
that the Rev. James l.. Vallandigham. the
brother of the great "sDuffed out" G. H..
Vallandgham, was lately arrested for sou,a
reason, which can only be OWNED by the
suggestive information that she took tho
oath Of allegiance, and was released =
This Reverend gentleman lately published
a card denying the charge that his brother,
the Hon. Clement L., had permitted their
aged mother to be supported in part, or ia
whole, by the church 10 which she belongs
Without waiting to inquire why the Rev.
VallaEdigham did not deny that he had
been a party to this shameful outrage, we
submit some official information touching
this charge of voluntary pauperism.
The character Of the gentlemen whose
names are appended, and the nature of the
testimony, settle the fact beyond all ques-
ton or denial.
1t isworthy Of notice that the 6rst pay
ment from its charity fund for the support
Of an aged and destitute widow, was made
at about the same period Of time that her
distinguished son drew the first installment
OF his salary Of $4,000 as a member Of Con-
gress 1t is painful to think what would be
the condition Of Mr.. VS. family and friends,
II he were elected TO still higher position
With salary OF but 81 5000 per annum. We
commend the subject te the consideration of
such of his partizans as are indulging hopes
his elevation to the Gubernatorial chair:
HUBBARD, June II, 1868.
DR.. z. MYGATT.-Dear ,S,r. Can you
inform US whether the Presbytery of the
Presbyterian Church of this District havo
at any time appropriated money for the sup
port Of Mrs. Vallandigham, the mother of
Clement L. Vallandigham. II they have,
now much, and when. VIII you be kind
enough to give US such information as you
deem perfectly reliable in this matter.
Please direct a letter to either Of US to
Youngstown, Ohio.
Respectfully, ...
MADISON POWERS.

One Horse Mills and Farmers.

EDS. STATESMAN IL notice that Milling
and Farming is attracting some interest
and attention in this valley and that these
industrial pursuits are assuming the proper
tions of "one horse concerns" 1t has been
beautifully said that agriculture is the
foundation of all other business, and that
like the sheaves in Joseph's dream, all the
other sheaves make their obesiance unto it,"
If this is true then it is of vital importance
that it should be conducted in an intelligent,
experienced and approved manner. Farm
ing, carelessly conducted, like all other bus
mess, only impoverishes. 1t impoverishes
those engaged in its pursuits, impovershes
the soil, and greatly retards the prosperity
and business of a country. Then, my fel-
low one-horse farmers, let us pay more ear
nest heed to farming; not only to its man
ner, but to the seed we plant, and to the
culture. The better the seed the more pros
porous we and our country shall be. do
not know but we have done we'll under the
circumstances but now can we not do bet
ter, and all take the American AgriculturiSt.
AS to the "one horse Mills and Millers,"
we farmers think they could improve lit
tie, and | would suggest to them that if
they would take little pains to classify
their wheat and flour, they would give bet
ter satisfaction. L have manufactured a
great deal of -four and have always found
that it takes care in the Miller, even with
good wheat, to make first rate -four. Forty
three to forty-fve pounds of -four is all
that miller ought to try to get from sixty
pounds first quality wheat; to get more than
this quantity, the quality of the -four will
be injured. When poor quality is mixed
with first quality wheat, the -four of neces-
sity will be be inferior, and more than this,
if the wheat is ground when very dry, so
much of the bran goes into the flour that its
quality is greatly deprecipted. The wheat
in this valley should by all means be sub
jected to a little artificial dampening before
ground, go that in the grinding, the bran
would readily separate from the flour.

Idaho Election News, &c.

Mr. Payne, IT, S. Marshal for this Territory,
arrived to-day from the Beaver Head coun-
try, bringing the election returns from all
the precincts East of the Rocky Mountains
except Fort Laramie, which will probably
not be received in time to be counted. Can
nadys majority East of the Bitter Root
Mountains is 251, which reduces Wallace's
majority to 339, as near as we can come at
it until the returns are opened and counted.
The following persons are elected to the
Legislature from the Eastern portion of the
Territory: East Bannock- G. Rheam,
(Union) Councilman L. c. Miller, (Union)
Representative. Bivan's Gulch-Mark
Moore, (Copperhead) was elected Represent
tory on the Sd of March, Dr. L G. Smith,
his Union opponent, will contest the seat
Virginia City-A. j. Edwards (Copperhead)
was supposed to be elected Councilman but
the returns not all in; j. Tufts (Union)
elected Representative Missoula County
Powell, (Copperhead) elected Representa-
tive, but will not attend.
Mr.. Payne, on his way out to Beaver Head,
met Mr.. Magruder and four or five 9th
er men in company on the Bitter Root noun
tains, on their way to Elk City, about 80
miles beyond that place. Mr.. Shull, who
accompanied Mr.. Payne, recognized two of
the men with Magruder, who are supposed
to be two of the same party arrested by Mr.
Beachy Mr.. Shull remarked, after they
had passed, that Mr.. Magruder was travel
ing with hard crowd.
IS. Since the above was put in type
letter has been received by the express
from Fort Laramie, stating that Wallace's
majority at that place is 474, swelling his
majority throughout the Territory to 0l3.-

CAT-AsTRoPHE.-A company of packers
and teamsters encamped at --s at the
Pine Creek House, one night last week,
caught cat belonging to the premises,
with which they concluded to have some
sport. The cat struggled in the hands Of its
captors, and after getting its "back up com
menced scratching making its "marks"
nidiscriminately on sundry hands and fin
gers. The cat having got the best of it, the
packers set about devising ways and means
to get "even;" and one of them remarked
that if he only could get some turpentine
he would make it ''mighty warm for poor
D ussy." Another of the funny fellows said
p he had bottle Of turpentine in his pocket;
whereupon he pulled out the bottle, drew
forth the cork and saturated the animal
pretty much all over, with the liquid Poor
pussy at once commenced just such a course
of ground and lofty tumbling as they ex-
pected to see-and more: During its strug-
giles it jumped into the funny fellows camp
fire, and the turpentine becoming ignited,
added terror and pain beyond that produced
by the fluid alone, and away it ran, evil
lainous compound" of turpentine cats fur
and fame, to hay stack, adjoining the
barn The funny fellows, seeing the cat
making bee line for the stack, commenced
a vigorous persecution (pursue-cution) of
the same, striking it with hats and caps
to extinguish the fame; but it "would not
out" Pussy reached the stack first, and,
passing under it ignited the hay. In few
moments the stack and barn were all a blaze.
In the meantime our heroes were "pursue-
cutting" the cat, which had passed under the
stack and was now carrying "blaze Of glo-
ry" round and round the dwelling house.
All hands were in the chase seeking to save
the house by stopping the wild career of
poor pussy; and pussy was suddenly brought
to halt by pistol shot and the house
saved from the fiery element. The campers
next rushed to the barn and saved most of
the articles which were stored therein by
carrying them outside. This done, the
campers slept; and what sleep must have
been there, 'countrymen,' The next morn
ing one of the party was deputed, by the
others, to sally forth to the house and as
certain the damage sustained by the loss of
hay, barn and cat. The damage was ascer-
tanned to be Just 5000, besides the waste of
one bottle of splendid turpentine. The
5000 was partly paid on the spot, and the
balance, the party obligated themselves to
pay on their return trip from the other side
of the mountains, whittier they were going
with freight. We are satisfied that all will
be settled up rightfully, as the party is COM
posed of honorable and respected citizens Of
this valley, who only sought to have little
sport on the occasion, but which unfortu-
nately resulted disastrously to all concerned.

Charleston, would beat his Greek fire Fall to
smash, ? as there is no putting it out.

The Golden Age says the people of Lew
iston are disposed to see the supposed MUIR
derers of Lloyd Magruder have fair trial.
That is right, and if by fair trial they be
found guilty of the murder, the people will
no doubt be disposed to see them fairly hung.
