IDAHO AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
We Judge from the tone of the Idaho
press, that in the spring an energetic
attempt will be made to supply the
Southern Idaho..markets with produce
from Northern California. We doubt
very much whether this class of arti-
cles can be carried to Beyond Owyhee
from California without absolute loss,
but to that point the Columbia River
trade is sure to meet lively compe-
tition, and nothing but the adoption
of energetic measures will prevent the
trade from being divided, or perhaps
wrested from the northern route. The
cheapness of teams and the leading ar
ticles of domestic produce in Calitor>
MIA are the principal means relied on
by our opponents to reverse the press
ent order of things, and it is calculated
that manufactured articles, by reason
of their relatively smaller freights as
compared 10 value, will follow in the
wake of this movement.

THERE ANUIsANCEi

DALLEs, Nov. 10Th, 1865.
EDITOR MoUNTAINEER.-From time
immemorial there has been an old In
dian trail between the Cascades and |
Dalles, on the south side of the river,
which, since civilization has reached
this coast, has been used by white men.
Somo seven years ago, the County
Commissioners made it county road,
on paper, in the Clerks Office; but the
road is only trail yet. More recently
a company claiming incorporation
under the general law, call it their
wagon road, yet it remains trail, and
is loudly complained of as being bad,
so bad as occasionally to cause the loss
of stock. Poor immigrants and broken
miners, who are without money, or
cannot we'll afford to pay the steamboat
fare, and travel this old trail OF neces-
sity, find their way impeded by gates,
and toll demanded, which from already
depleted purses, they are illprepared
to pay.
If there is no legal authority to call
an Indian trail "wagon road" and
collect toll upon it, how long shall the
outraged public submit to such impo.
sition? If this forced imposition is by
legislative authority, let the Legisla-
tive Assembly about to meet in extra
session, examine the humanity and
justice of such authority. These toll.
gates, doubtless, have the effect of turn
ing travel more or loss from the trail
on to the steamers. Whether the toll,
gates belong to monied corporation
who are said to have lost few thou.
sand dollars in Improbable and rocky
diggings along the base of the noun
tains, or whether they are the private
property of the gate keepers, are ques
lions of very little interest to poor
men, who perhaps, pay their last dol
lar for the privilege of travelling on q
bad trail, and the subscriber does not
stop to investigate this matter.

ings on this particular point that policy of

safe policy for the times-a policy, in other
words, based OF the noble and lofty virtues Of
charity and magnanimitg. And let him. 50 far as
he may be able to catch the ear of the authorities
at Washington, impress upon them the momentous
aud eternal truth, that a substantial and lasting
paace WAS never vet founded on cru elty oppres
sion or dis:rus;. The people Of Virginia and the
south accept, in good faith without any mental

results Of the war; but born free, and the de.

tleuce and no kindly feeling at the idea of being

case Of an Overwhelming majority Of them, was
an error Of the head, and not of the heart.
In conclusion, we hope il may be in our power,

Of all true Firgnians to advance the glorious old

ANOTHER PLAGUE.

While the Russian disease has ragged with such
ferocity in the north of Europe, the southwestern
Fart of Asia has been suffering from terrible

Of June 7, says that letters from Medina give
frightlul account Of the ravages Of the epidemic
now raging both at that city and Mecca, lttskes

eve of Courban- Beiram, and during the first and
second days of the feast this terrible scoucge car

pilgrims and though the intensity of the plague
is somewh It absted, muItitudes still perish. The
inhsb tants have fed, and the streets are filed
with corpses OF the Persian pilgrims alone no
less than 5000 have fallen victims, amongst whom
is the sheik Mira Haohim, who, saint az he was
reputed to be, has persisted with his whole house

Slight Mistake.

In the reported interview between President
JOHNSON and the Richmond delegation on Satur.
day last in reference TO the repeal of the $4,000
exception clause in his late proclamation, the fol-.
lowing language is attributed to his Excellency:
You know perfectly we'll it was the wealthy
" men If the South who dragooned the poor PEG.
pie into secession. lived in the South, and
know how the thing was done. Your State was
overwhelmingly opposed to secession, but your
- rich men used the presI and bullies, and your
little army TO force the State into secession"
The President commits a grave error in sup
posing that either a majority or any large proper
ton Of what he calls the rich men" in Virginia
dr8gooned" any body into secession, or even ia
vored secession, 10 the beginning Of our late trou
bles. On the contrary, we undertake TO assert,
with the fullest confidence in the truth Of the
sertion, that perhaps four-ffths Of The wealthy
men Of Virginia stood out boldly and de6sutly
in opposition to secession unit. the issuance Of
President LincOln's Proclamation calling for
troops. We believe that nearly four-afths of the
slaves and four-dfths Of the bsnk-stock, and four
ifths of the railroad stock, and fourdfths Of all
other stocks and properties in this Commonwealth
belonged to those who were not originally in IA
vor Of secession. President JOHNSON lived in
the South" and, no doubt, knew " how the thing
was done" in his portion of tie sOuth-thst is, in
Tennessee But he didn't live in Virginia, and
we are very sure, from what he says, he didn't
know how the thing was done" here II was
done here, for the most part, BY seedy and needy
politicians, aud not by the " rich men" The
boot was on the ether leg-ths drsgooning" was
all the other way.
We be ieve President JOHNSON ia disposed to do
right, and to act fairly and literally towards the
people Of the South and, so believing, we wish
to support his Administration with earnestness
and zeal But we tell him plainly, that so far as
VIRGINIA is concerned, the q rich men as gene
raj thing were far less at fault in the matter Of
secession than the poor enes. Let him, there
