THE WATER WoRKs.-Ihe he water
works, for the supply of water for fire pur-
poses, through main street, in this city, are
- completed. We venture that no town on
= the Pacific coast is better supplied with wa
ter for this purpose than Walla Walla-
The pipe or culvert, is supplied with water
from Mill creek,-the culvert being on
level with the creek, and running the en-
tire length Of the street. On each corner
Is tank, or cistern, capable of holding
several hundred gallons Of water, and into
these cisterns stream of water, some
twelve inches square, is constantly running;
SO that there is no danger of their ever
''drying up" All will concede the superb
ority of this system Of supplying water,
and the only disadvantage arising from it
will be in the minds of ambitious 'boys'
who like the exercise of filing up cisterns
From GRAND RoNDE.-A large num-
Der of persons en- route to the Boise mines

RECAPTURED Marshal, the man who
left the city Jail few weeks ago, to 60 for
a pail Of water, was returned to his old quar-
ters on Tuesday evening. He had engaged
in his former business of horse stealing
and was captured by Mr. Craggie while

How Easy it Was to have Averted
the War.

The following extracts from the
speeches of our Southern brethren, de-
livered in our Congress before the In
PRODUCTION of the Crittenden Compro-
mise, in the winter of the ever memo
rable day of Secession, show how easy
it was to have "averted the war;" as
Governor Seymour and his class de-
clare by compromise and cancellations:
Dec. 4th, 0. r. Singleton, Of Miss
II am not here for the purpose of max
ing any compromises Or to patch up
existing dificulties.''
Mr.. Jones, Of Ga, ditto on the same
day.
Hawkins, Of Florida-"While [ am
up, Mr.. Speaker, | may as we'll say in
advance, that am opposed, and | be
lieve my State is opposed, to all and
every compromise"
Mr.. Pugh, of Alabama-"As my
State Of Alabama intends following
South Carolina out of the Union by
the 10th of January next, / pay no at
tention to any action Of this BODY
Dec 5, Senator Iveson, Ct Georgia,
'-"Sir, the Southern States that are
now moving in this matter are not do
ing it without due consideration. We
believe that the only security for the
institution 20 which we attach so much
Importance is Secession and Il Southern
Confederacy. You talk about conces-
sions! Yon talk about repeating the
Personal Liberty bills, as q concession
to the South! Repeal them all to-mor-
row, sir, and it would not stop the pro-
gress of this revolution. 1t is not your
Personal Liberty bills that we dread.
Nor do we suppose that there will be
any overt acts on the part of Mr.. Lin
coin. For one, do not dread overt
acts. | do not propose to wait for
them. We intend to 90 OUT
Dec. y, Wigfall Of Texas-"So far
as the Union is concerned, the cold
sweat of death is upon it. Your I'm
ION is nOac dead; your Government is
lao,c dead There is now in the Gulf
States no excitement There is a fix
ed, determined will, that they will be
free"
Dec 23-Afer the introduction Of
the Crittenden compromise, Benjamin
Of Louisiana, said: ''The day for the
adjustment has passed. If you would
give it now, you are too late"
Mason, of Virginia, said NO mat
ter what compromise the North offers,
the South must find way to defeat it. .
Pryor, of Va, telegraphed-"We
can get the Crittenden compromise, but
we don't want it,"

s8 He who talks of the Presidents

JACKS IDEA OF LOCOMOTIVE
"Why," says he, ''there's nothing man
ly about it. Watch a ship, how, with
all canvas belIying out, laying down to
it Just enough to show she feels the
breeze, tossing the spray from her bow,
and lifting her head over the seas, as
if she stepped over 'em; there's some
thing life>like there. There's some
thing noble about a horse he steps as
if he knew he was going, and proud OF
his duty and able TO do it. But the
lubber, bah! that there concern comes
iusinivating, sncaking along, crawling
on his belly like a laundering long
snake with 4 pipe in dis mouth"
