L. J. RECTOR respectfully announces himself can
ddate for the office of GonntY Anditnr.

CARDIFF the Citizens Of VGUa WaLa County,
It has been the usual custom for aspirants to Office to
claim that they have been urgently solicited to come
the sake Of change urgently solicit the votes of the
people own that want the office, and want it for
this reason that from long suffering have become
physically disabled from from following any ac-
tive laborous pursuit and have necessarily been
compelled to seek some means for a livelihood that
does not require great physical exertion. The Office
of County Auditor. as l believe, will furnish such
means, and if the people will bestow it upon me |
use every effort to honor the trust. l. j. REoToR.

WHO ARE THE BEST UNION MEN p
There is a class of persons who claim to be
Union men par excellence. This class be-
Iieve in endorsing to the uttermost extent
every act of the present administration,
whether good, bad, very bad OF Indifferent.
If the executive officers of the government
saw fit to ignore the Constitution and laws
of the United States, these men would ap-
plaud greatly and say good, and at the
same time stigmatize as traitors and seces-
sionists all men who did not say good,
and applaud too. There is another class
of persons who believe in the doctrine of
adhering to the letter of the Constitution,
and who feel quite confident that it is the
true principle, and that if the Union can
not be maintained as a whole, in this way,
and the rebellion put down, that it cannot
be done otherwise. This class call the
other traitors because they do depart, or
are willing to depart, from the Constitution
and the laws.
There are many good and loyal men who
cannot make up their minds as to which
class of the two belongs the true Union
men? There is no doubt that if the mex
orable law of necessity and self preserva-
ton required departure from written law
in order to save the life of the Republic,
that such course would be prudent. The
question is, then, whether this departure
from written law would save the life of
the Republic or only serve to endanger its
life

LATEST FROM BOISE. {
Through in Thirty-nine and half Hours

Throughin Thirty-nine and half Hours
By the arrival of Mr.. w. H. Rockfellow, of
the Walla Walla and Boise express, we have
news from Bannock City up to Tuesday night
Mr.. R. left Bannock City on Tuesday at mid
night, and arrived here yesterday morning at
halfpast eight oclock-makng 56 IL hours
from the time he left Bannock City He left
Bannock City to come in in 4S hours and came
by way of Brownlee's Ferry; but never having
Travelled the road before, and owing the fact that
his guide was thrown from his horse and disabled
so that he could not accompany him, he got lost
in the night and was compelled to camp. Ar
irving in the Grand Ronde valley he was told
that he could not cross the mountains by the
trail and SO came around the old road. But for
being thus misled in regard to the trail he would
have reached here in less that forty-eght hours,
including stoppages. His travelling time was
H. : --send 2, half hours. He speaks of the
road by BrOwnlee's as good pack trail. and
nearer than the old travelled road, and is conf
dent that the trip can be made by this route and
the Grand Ronde trail in forty hours.
BY this express we have letter from our cor
respondent Items dated 2Oth, which we re-
gretfuly lay aside till next week. for want of time
to set it up for this number He writes that the
reports in regard to the mines on the South Fork
are confirmed and that about 1900 persons have
gone thither from Bannock City and PlacervilIe.
Goods of al kinds are scarce and high On
Tuesday there were no shoyels and picks in either
of the towns. Three wagons with light loads ar
rived at Bannock city on Saturday. The people
of that place are confident that it must become
the capital of the Territory. Rich quartz spec-
mems have been brought in from the rev dig
gings on the South Fork.
We learn from Mr. Rockfellow that at Pla-
ceryille the miners we're prosecuting their labors
with usual good seccess. The necessity Of
representing all claims on the 18th of June will
break up the monopoly Of claims which has so
seriously retarded the development of these
mines. TheEminers preserve strict order, and
the scenes of violence once so prevalent in the
mining districts are unknown in that section of
country.
Flour is selling at an average of Soc, and ba-
con at 75o
THE NEz PERCEs TREATY.-We learn from
Lewiston that affairs in regard to the Nez Perces
treaty are not progressing lin as promising a
manner as could be desired, though the Indians
are coming into the council grounds in consider
able numbers. Big Thunder and his band have
thus far refused to treat and it is thought they
will take no part in the Council Eagle of the
Light and Joseph's bands are with Big Thunder
and had not at last accounts nude their appear
ance at the Council grounds There has long
been feud between these bands and that of
Lawer-they never recognizing Lawyer as a
Chief Lawyer was appointed Chief by the In
dian agents, and it is said by those who pretend
to know, that before treaty can be effected the
differences between the bands must be settled.

News of May llth.

PH1LADELPHGA, May 11th.-The Wash
ington correspondent Of the Press says:
Persons from the army of the Potomac, May
9th, represent the army to be in the best of
spirits. The number Of rebels found un-
buried was very large. 1t is believed no
effort was made by the eremy to bury them.
The fact that they left evidently confirmed
Hooker in the belief that they had been
much cut up. Owing to the terrible con-
dition of the roads the passage of the troops
is very slow
The next engagement will probably take
place near the upper Pamunkey, whittier
we are moving as rapidly as possible.
Many maintain that James river will be the
next line the rebels will defend.

BAYNocK CITY, l. T., May

BANNocK CITY, !. T., May 10, 1868.
EDS. STATESMAN In my last letter prom
ised to visit this city and mining camp and re-
port This place, in point Of location, rivals any
mining town have ever visited. 1t is situated
about fifteen miles from Paceryille, in a southerly
direction, with the Warm Springs to the west,
two and a half miles distant. This is a better
mining camp than that of Placervie, for many
reasons, and the first and main one is that
it is better supplied with water, The camp in
cludes Moore's creek and Elk creek, with their
tributaries which run at right angles with each
other. Bannock city is built in the forks of these
two creeks, on an elevated and beautiful piece of
ground, with pine tree here and there for shade
and ornament.
There is one saw mill in active operation here
1t is situated on Moors creek and is propelled by
water. I understand that there are several porta-
bic steam saw m on the way to this place and
Placerville. Letrhem come; there will be work
for them all.
Mr.. Greathouse, the Walla Wala stage man,
has Just arrived here with a coach, which, l be-
lieye, he intends to run between this place and
Placerville.
DISCOVERY OF A QUARTZ LODE.
There was quite an excitement here few even
ings since about the discovery of a quartz lode,
some four miles distant from town. The lode
is said to be very extensive and rich and has been
traced over three quarters of a mile. Other
lodes have been found, but not so rich and ex-
tensive.
MINERS, MERCHANTS, &c.
Miners are just getting to work properly on the
bars the main Creeks being too high to work to
good advantage.
Merchants are doing well, selling everything
at good profit and getting their dust
don't know whether greenbacks are taken
here in exchange for goods Or not, but am under
the impression that they don't 60 from the fact
that have not seen any in market.
Miners supplies and merchandise of all kinds
are getting scarce and high. 1t is my opinion
that four-that article which would not pay
freight sometime ago-wll be sold at high pri-
ces before it will be subjected to another fall
There are not enough goods of any kind in mar
ket to supply the demand for the next two weeks.
see by the STATESMAN of the 25th ult., that
some of the discouraged portion of our popula-
ton have found tn cir way back to Walla. These
persons I suppose represent the mines as hum
bug, and so they have proved to all who came in
late and found no claims taken up and held for
them by friends but be this as it may, believe
this is good mining camp.
