80 1t cane about that this band of givers
and workers mad Kept on giving and working
from the time the war commenced till the
beginning OF the present winter; and it was
curious to see how, whenever any new ap-
peal was made, it always came about that
these who had been giving and working all
the time were the ones to respond to it, if it
was responded to at all.
J Early in December, it was felt by these
faithful ones that instead of relaxing, there
must be more done than ever; our army was
larger, and likely to be constantly active ;
our husbands, sons and brothers were being
led up before the enemy's intrenhments, and
the brave fellows were sure to march up fear
iessly and to fall by hundreds, and be car
rled, wounded and MANNED, to this and that
hospital all over the lend the hospital stores
were getting low, and they must be repien-
lshed and materials of all kinds were so
costly hat a good deal of money must be
collected for the first outlay; and so it was
decided to go to each family in town, ana.
ascertain what could be procured.

bed to effect lease upon the White House and ad-
joining premises, now occupied by A-Blincoln, and
shall take possession and do business in the on
my own account from the 4th of March next, upon
the old cash system. I will eschew A-Blincoln's
new tangled motto of liberal terms upon substan-
tal collateral points, and readopt the old and
intelgble one of ''small profits and quick re-
turns" And all God-reviling, UEion-hatng negro

that they will be allowed to loaf about the prem
ises, ard that if they caught stealing any more
feathers from eagles tail or hooking pums from
behind the counter when the boss's buck is turned
they will be prosecuted to the full extent ofthe law
a few good men, bringing satisfactory references,
find steady and permanent empO ment
Will be kept constantly on hand large supply of
cotton and other art ces of American production,
besides many articles of domestic manufacture too
numerous to mention, which will be sold cheap for
gold or silver coin, and to which we would invite
the attention of our neighbors on the other side of
the herring pond. Strangers also invited to give
Us a call.

How HE WOULD ARRANGE Ir.-A shoulder
Etrapper, the other day in speaking of the Army
vote, said "Do you suppose that the officers of
the army will allow the soldiers under them to
vote for McCIeIlan?" ''No, indeed" said he, eff
you think so you mistaken, they will not be
allowed to vote against the government. If
were in Mr.. Lncoln's place, would send every
man out of the army who would vote for Nc
Clellan p There's liberality of sentiment for
you, and from an officer in the army, at that
But we are pleased to state thatsuch sentiments
do not prevail to any extent in the region round
about Fort Walla Wala. Many of the soldiers,
TO our personal knowledge are enthusiastically
in favor of Mcclellan; but while they will vote
for Mcclellan in defiance of any intimidation8,
they will allow the government men to vote
for Lincoln, Beast Butler, or for any another
man they may like best.

WALLA WALLA VALLEY FLoUR.-The Flour
Mills, is fully equal in quality to any which finds
its way into the market from Oregon, and the
Extra Superfne" is far superior to much of
that put up in tue Willamette region. A year
then if good article of -four was desired it was
chosen from the Oregon brands; but our MlerS
within the past year have made all the ne
cessary improvements in their Mills in the way
of boiling machines, ETC., and are enabled to
manufacture good article of -four and sell it
about as fast it is put up at the same rates as
-four from the lower country. Our farmers too,
have generally procured good and clean seed
wheat in the place of the filthy mixed wheat
which was formerly so abundant in the valley
and in this way have contributed immensely
toward the improvement of the -four A large
portion of our people who last year used the
Oregon -four for family use because of its great
superiority, now choose the Walla Walla brands
in preference. Messrs. Jacobs & Overholtzer,
of the "Phoenix Mills" sent us in a sack of
their extra Super6ne" -four last week, and
we think it as fine as can be made anywhere
Bread made from it is as light, white and sweet
as we have ever seen. Our people have occa-
sion to be thankful that the Valley Mills are
turning out good article of -four, for it not
only benefits the miller, but benefits the farmer,
the merchant, the mechanic, and the residents
of the valley generally. The -four is no longer
a drug in the market at price less than that
obtained for Oregon -four, as formerly, but finds
a ready market at the ruling rates fixed for the
brands from abroad.

The Washington City National LntelIigencer,
one of the oldest and most reliable papers pub
Ished in America, says that recent letter of
Secretary Stewards intimates that if Mcclellan
carries the election the present Administration
will resist his Inauguration as President, and
by force of arms prevent it. By the way, Mr..
Seward has been promulgating the foolish doc
trne of late, that Mr.. Lincoln has not yet been
President of the whole United States, and that
he ought to be retained in power until the South
succumbs and recognizes him as their rightful
President. The two theories hitch together ad-
mirably. Force the North to acknowledge Lin
coin President, whether the people re-eect him
or not, and coerce both sections to submit to
his dictation by force of military power. Clio
rious Abolition doctrine No wonder that thy
Votaries and worshippers are confined to the
ranks of the Shoddyites, Undergraduates and

The Eugene Rcview pitches into the loyal Or
egon Legislature, in the shape of a two column
editorial, charging that body with nullifying
the law of Congress which makes greenbacks
a legal tender for all debts, in passing the Spe-
cifc Contract law. The Review charges that
the Legislature not only nullifed law of Con-
gress in its action, but that it also asserted in
the strongest possible light the doctrine of State
Rights The Review is right in the PREMISES
The legislature has, in this instance asserted
the doctrine of State Rights to the same extent
that South Carolina did in her palmiest nullif-
cation days. e.. The loyal body that passed the
Contract Act have always claimed that the
legal tender law of Congress was Consttu-
tonal law, while the Democrats have held to
the doctrine that it was not a Constitutional
law, and that Congress could not Constitution
ally make other than gold and silver legal
tender The Republicans in Oregon have
stretched the doctrine of State Rights as far as
the nullifers of South Carolina ever did-fur-
ther than the Democratic party ever sought to,
and yet these same Republicans denounce the
legitimate State Right doctrine "a damnable
.heresyl" Loyalty, then, with these people is
merely a sickly sentiment, and whenever loyal
ty to the government affects their pockets it is
cast off as deliberately as if it were an old shoe

Prominent Men CONE OUT FOR McCLELLAN
Late Eastern papers state that John Van Bu-
rem and Jas. 7. Brady, two very prominent men
in New York ctya are engaged in the canvass
for Mcclellan VIM. B. Astor, Alexander Stew
art, VIM. H. Aspinwall, and George Law, four
of the richest men in America, have come out
in favor of Mcclellan. Reverdy John8on,a U.
S. Senator from Maryland, is out in long let
ter in favor of Mcclellan, and it is also stated
that Gen. Hooker has publicly announced his
intention to support the Democratic nominees.
1t is a noteworthy and significant fact that-while
the eastern papers are filled with accounts Of
the changes from the Republican to the Demo-
cratic ranks, we never hear of instance now
where Democrat has changed to Lincolnite
The conversions appear to be all one way. The
signs of the times bode no good to the Lincoln
