MoRE SHEEP-Two droves of sheep, one
numbering fifteen hundred head, belonging to
Messrs. Denny, of Dry Greek, and the other
numbering eighteen hundred, belonging to Mr..
Hill, have arrived in the valley within the past
week The sheep raising business, to which
this country is so admirably adapted, it seems
is to become one of the employments of our peo-
pie That it will be profitable there can be no
doubt, for there will be little other expense at
tached to raising them save that incurred in
herling. The miles and miles of grassy hills
stretching away in every direction, and which
can never be otherwise used than as grazing
lands, will always afford ample food for tens of
thousands of head at all seasons of the year
We are told by Mr.. ]. G. Smith, who is also Ia
king an interest in this business, that near five
thousand sheep have been brought into the val
ley this season. Many of them are destined for
the mining markets next season, but large
portion are ewes and their owners propose to
keep them for breeding-to raise focks here for
the markets in future years. and to profit by
selling their feeces.
Mr.. Day assayed this morning some gold
brought down by Mr.. L. Van nAlstine, taken from
Wild Horse Creek, Kootenaiy which assayed 900
ine-worth S18, ,60-46 per ounce.

A WoOLEN MANUFACTORY. In consideration OF
the fact that large droves of sheep have been
imported into this valley by persons intending
to make sheep-raising permanent business we
do not think it premature to suggest the idea of
erecting wooden mandatory in this valley
With water privileges as good as are afforded
by any country, the cost of running an estab-
lishment of that kind, would be small The in
ducements for the establishment of manufac-
tory of this kind not small, even at the pres
ent time. There would probably be market in
the Walla Walla valley for say, $4,000 worth
of manufactured goods per annum. In the
mining regions there would be market for
blankets, clothing, ETC.. to the amount of not
less than $3.50, 900 per annum. Goods could be
manufactured here and sold at less figures than
the imported articles There would be no diff
Guilty in procuring wool. When farmers saw a
home market for it they would go into the wool
producing business generally. The facilities
for grazing sheep in this section are believed to
be unsurpassed in any region north of Califor-
MIA We have large scope of country on all
sides producing superabundance of wild bunch
grass of an excellent quality, and which main
tans its nutricious ingredients, without cutting
from the ground, the whole year round Some
years this grass becomes covered in winter with
snow, but as a general thing there are large
tracts cf land upon the hills and mountain sides
where the grass remains uncovered and in good
condition for stock-prazing
The question of establishing home woolen
manufactures is one which promises, ere long,
to engage the earnest attention of the people of
the Pacific slope. Cotton fabrics are becoming
scarce and high in proportion as the Southern
States raise less and less cotton yearly, and the
necessity of substituting, to great extent,
voolen for cotton goods, is becoming apparent
to all classes of our people. We are obliged to
send abroad for many artices which cannot, or
are not, produced on this coast and thus the
gold which we produce goes out in exchange for
these foreign commodities as fast as it is dug
from the mines. Woolen goods we can, and
ought to manufacture, and cheaper than they
can be imported. By SO doing, some of our
wealth would be husbanded, while manufacto-
ries would spring up, furnishing employment to
a large number of persons, and thus finally add
ing to our enterprise and industry, people,
and inuring to the general prosperity Of the

King for ruler. Suppose the South should
at some time get the better of us in the pres
ent war and determine to establish slavery in
all our free States and Territories Would not
the North be Justly aroused at such an inten-
tention, and would she let the South have peace
on such degrading terms to herself2 Ofcourse
not.
We are glad to see Mcclellan place himself
squarely upon the issues of the day The war,
he more than intimates, could have been
brought to speedy and successful termination,
if the internal fanatics had not dragged theirin-
termeddling, abolition dogmas into the struggle.
We believe that peace and Union hinges upon
that one question of abolition" and if Geo.
B. Mcclellan is elected President there can be
no doubt that he will mock the abolition nail
on the head and have the Union speedily re-
stored, with the rights of citizens and the
rights of States unimpaired.

THE HIGH LANDS COOP FOR WHEAT RAILS
ING.-A year or two ago, it was the general
opinion among our farming population, that
the hill lands in the valley were too dry to pro
duce grain crops, but experience has shown
that the opinion was not well founded Some
of our farmers have raised excellent wheat
crops this season from high and dry hill ground.
One farmer informs us that from field of fifty
acres of this hill land, sown in wheat early last
fall, he got the average yield of hirty-three
bushels per acre. Had the season been more fa-
vorable, he is confident that he would have re-
allied yield of at least forty bushels per acre.
However, thirty-three bushels to the acre is an
excellent yield, and shows that the hill lands
will produce good wheat crops, even when the
seasons are unusually dry like the past one
The gentleman who raised the above noticed
crop, thinks, from his experience in cultivating
wheat here that the best way to insure good
crop, is to pillow the ground in the spring of
the year and sow the wheat early in the fall
narrowing it in thoroughly By pursuing this
method, the wheat gets good start from the
fall rains, and the rains which are sure to come
in the spring are sufficient to insure fair crop,
even though the latter part of the spring may
be dry.
The great difficulty in the way of cultiyating
the up lands in the valley, is the absence OF
water for stock Were it not for this objec-
tionable feature thousands of acres that are
now lying idle would be Immediately put under
cultivation. AS it is, the hill lands are not cul-
tivated, except small bodies bordering on the
creeks.
