GENERAL DEBILITY.-Since the Enrolling Off
Ger has been going the rounds in his official Ca
pacity in this County, we notice great in
crease in the ill health and general debility of
the male portion of the population. pros
pect of draft has caused many man to look
up his cold sores" and examine his stock of in
irmities in hopes of finding himself disabled
enough in some way to keep from being grated
into the army Some of those who confidently
expect to Hdraw prize" in of draft are
afflicted with bad eyes, or ''near-sightedness;'
some have weak lungs, while others have the
phthisic- -wind-broken; others are "conscien-
tiously'' incapacitated to bear arms, while not
a few have 'game legs" and the like. To tell
the plain truth, every one we have conyersed
with or heard converse upon the subject of the
draft has manifested desire, like jeff Davis,
"to be let alone" The politics of the commu-
nifty, upon this one point at least agree very
we'll. A good opportunity will be afforded, if
a draft is made, for able-bodied men to engage
themselves as "substitutes" at remunerative
prices in this locality.

THE President ON AN OREGON "LEAGUE. y
Some time since, at the instance of Senator Mes
mith, the President appointed Joseph W. Drew,
of Oregon, as an Assistant Paymaster of volun-
teers, which appointment an Oregon Union
League denounced on the ground that the ap-
pointee was disloyal, and when the delegates to
the Baltimore Convention came on here copy
of their resolution asking Drew's removal was
sent on by one of them, J. H. Pearne, who was
advised to confer with the delegation before
asking the removal. The League Minister Plen-
ipotentiary however, preferred standing ON his
own dignity, and in due time the resolutions
were referred to G. R. Mcbride of Oregon, and
upon his statement that the Paymaster com
planned of was as loyal as Nesmith himself, the
War Department and the President decided that
that was good enough, and the League diction
was tabled, much to the disgust of the envoy
referred to-Cor. Sac. Union.
The League envoy referred to above was Rev.
T. H. Pearne, one of Oregon's Senatorial aspi-
rants. Gov Gibbs and Pearne were the main
loyal Ieaguers who secretly conspired to stab
Col. Drew in the dark. A pretty business, in

QUARTZ FROM THE BLUE MoUNTA1Ss.--Mr. H.
P. Isaacs received last week some specimens of
gold and silver bearing quartz from the Blue
mountains, which he had assayed by Mr. Rosen-
thai. The result of the assay showed that the
rock contained in weight about equal proper
tions of gold and silver, and netted in value
$780, per ton. The quartz came from Mr..
Dalys ranch on the summit of the mountains
on the road known the Daily road, leading to
La Grande, and distant about sixty miles from
this city. Though no particular interest has
yet been taken in the matter of prospecting the
country, the result of this assay proves that the
quartz will pay, and we may expect soon to hear
of rich strikes being made in thatquarter. Spec
linens of the quartz may be seen at Mr.. Isaacs'
store:

"There very few passing down, excepting
packers. Some trains are passing by here on
their way upon their second trip. Jack Du

Kootenai Correspondence.
FIsHERvILLE, August Sd,

FIsHERvILLE, August Sd, 1864.
EDS. STATESMAN Thinking that your read
ers would like to know something further in re-
gard to the Kootenai mines, | write you few
lines.
The miners on Wild Horse creek have their
claims in full operation and are doing remarka-
bly, we'll. Reynolds & Co., took out of their
claims in one day, this week, $3.50. They have
rocked out as high as $340 in one day. Most
of the claims which we thought would not pay
over ten dollars to the hand are now paying
over hundred dollars.
These mines are no "humbug;" but as to the
extent of them am unable to say. The gold is
very coarse. The largest piece yet taken out
(by Mr. Joseph Herring) weighed exactly one
hundred and sixty-four dollars.
Findlay creek is a little too high yet, for the
miners to get to work, yet have every reason
to believe that the claim-holders will realise a
handsome sum by Fall. The Sinking Water
men, who have been waiting for the English
Commissioners, have exhausted nearly all their
grub and have departed hence-I think, to pros
pect Both Stinkingwater and other men have
been lying around, doing nothing, waiting very
patiently for the Commissioners to come and
cut down the claims of large claim-holders.-
There is plenty of land to be taken up if men
were not too lazy to prospect it. hardly think
there is enough provisions to last the men who
may want to winter here so / think packers and
merchants should send in plenty OF grub but
no whisky, as there is plenty of that article
here.
Everything has been quiet and tranquil here
until last Saturday, when there was three men
shot. One, whose name is Thomas Walker, has
| since died, The others were FYeast Powder
Bill alias William Burmister, and Robert Ev-
ans-commonly called ''Overland Bob" Bur-
mister was shot in the thumb and Evans was
hit in the neck, the ball passing through The
latter is still alive and doing very we'll under the
| circumstances.
On Sunday the miners had meeting, the OBJ
! ject of which was to elect person to act as
Sheriff, during the absence of the proper civi
authorities, Mr.. Joe Herring was elected.
Committee was then appointed by the chairman
of the meeting (Mr. Tim Lee) to draw up code
of laws to govern the people of Fisherville dis
trict, which laws were received and adopted by
the miners of this place. William Burmiste
(the man who had his thumb shot off was ar
rested and brought to trial for the shooting o
Walker, yesterday. The counsel for the priso
ner was Mr.. Hail. and Mr.. Riddles was appoint
ed Prosecuting Attorney. The Judge was Mr.
A. j. Gregory. The prisoner was tried befor
an impartial Judge and Jury and honorably &C
quilted by a law and order party.

The Virginia City Enterprise is opposed to

A LOYAL SHEET IN DIx1E.-The Richmond
Dispatch cordially endorses President Lincoln's
denomination, though for different reasons than
are set forth by the Administration papers in
the North The Dispatch of the 18th June, in
its leader, has the following:
'rWe, at least, of the Confederacy, ought to
be satisfied with him, Lincoln, for he has
conducted the war exactly as we ought to wish
it to be conducted. He has confirmed those
that were wavering, heated red hot those who
were lukewarm, made those Jealous who were
careless converted cold Indifference into furious
passion, and calculating indifference into burn
ing patriotism. AS for the military operations
conceived and executed under his auspices,
surely we have no right to complain. No ser
vice ever had so many blundering officers, and
no campaigns were ever conducted with more
stupidity. For these reasons we are decidedly
in favor of Old Abe, and if we could command
million of votes in Yankeedom he should have
them all. He has made the South the most uni
ted people that ever went forth to battle with an
invader; and for that he deserves the lively graf
itude of every Southern man. If anything
could add to the obligations under which we
lie to the Baltimore Convention, it would be
found in the nomination of Andrew Johnson
the man of all others most detested 1nthe South,
and the most likely to keep together the parties
united in one solid phalanx for the prosecution
of the war. Convinced, as we are, that nobody
not in favor of continuing the war could be
elected, and that no other would conduct 1t so
foolishly we go for this ticket"
While the persistent secessionists at the South
are in favor of Lincoln's reelection as means
to bring about the Independence and recogni-
tion of their so-called Southern Confederacy,
it is notorious that those who are in favor of
the old Union in the South, desire the election
of National Democrat. That there are few
Abolitionists down there who are in sympathy
with the Administration for various reasons, is
true, but they are too insignificant in numbers
and influence to take into account.

The astute editor of the Oregonian has made
the important discovery that the Indebtedness
of the Federal Government is but trife after
all; that an onion raised on each acre under
federal Jurisdiction would more than liquidate
the Indebtedness. But unfortunately for his
calculation there is only about one acre in ten
of the land, as whole, that is capable of
sprouting onions.

One of the last bills passed by Congress
was an act to increase the facilities of tele-
graphic communication between the allan
tic and Pacific States and the Territory of
Idaho. 1t gives to the United States Tele-
graph Company the right of way for a line
of telegraph from the Missouri river 10 San
Francisco and the use of the unoccupied
public land for stations, not exceeding in
quantity quarter of a section at any sta
ton. The Company is authorized, under
the direction of the President of the Uni
ted States, to erect line of telegraph from
Fort Hall, by Walla Walla and the Dalles,
to Portland, in the State of Oregon; and
from Fort Hall to Bannock and Virginia
City, in the Territory of Idaho, with the
same privileges as to the right of way, &C.,
as is provided above the United States to
have priority in the use of said lines of tele-
graph to Oregon and Idaho.
