WHERE ARE TIE metallic THKEE CENT PIE
cEs?-The cent and two cent coins are a
plenty ne blanks in a lottery but where the
copper and nickel three cent pieces are stow
ed away is mystery that probably no one
but q coin broker or Jewish miser can
solve. Since the LIST of Jule this year, sew
en- million four hundred thousand of these
much desired COIN have been issued from the
United States mint in Philadelphia, and yet
they are as seldom seen IA double eagle
Those who are boarding them will profit by
bringing them OFT, for their metal value is
less than half cent, and Congress by and

A Coop PIG-HIGH PRIcEs.-Mr. Gary II.
Page of East Burke, killed pig Dec. LIST,
seven months and eleven days old, that dress
ed 800 pounds. As Mr.. Page is a mechanic
and has everything to buy, he thought he
would ascertain what his pork cost him lie
has kept careful account of all the pig ate
and finds that, with what he paid for the
pig at four weeks old, his pork cost him just
Sl7 so. As this is only about FIVE cents and
a-half a pound, Mr.. Page is of the opinion
that pork at % cents pound-the price
asked this fails not much short of rob-

George P. Marsh, L S. Minister to Italy,
in speaking Of the Missouri Constitution,
says: 81 do not quite like the compelling
preachers to take the oath but the clause
forbiding gifts, etc, to ecclesiastical corpor-
ations delighted me exceedingly. 1t is a long
step in the right direction. The wealth Of
the church is the poverty of the Common
wealth, and there are few greater curses to
a country than a rich and powerful clergy"

CoLFLx PARTY-Speaker Colfax and party
extended their visit as far up the Columbia as
Dalles City, and were received by the citizens
of that place in grand style. Speeches were
made by Mr.. Colfax and Gov. Bross on the eve
ming of their arrival there, which the Mountain
eer eulogzes in the highest terms 1t was the
intention of the party to have extended their
visit to Wallula and Walla Walla, but they
were prevented from doing SO, it seems, for lack
Of time, and so they wheeled about at Dalles
and departed for San Francisco. Here we may
add, parenthetically, is where Mr. Speaker
should have passed by all the one-horse towns
like San Francisco, and made his way direct
for this great inland metropolis. He might,
perhaps, not have been feted, toasted and 'ova-
ted in quite so gorgeous style here as in the
villages, but then all that would have been more
than counterbalanced by glance at the mag
nifcence of our scenery and the general make
up of this grandiloqueut city and picturesque
valley By coming here he would have seen
something worth while and perhaps learned
sumething about the new nation, the march of
civilization, the progress of the age, the dawn
Of new era and the great march and spasmod-
ic stride of events generally. But he missed it
all; wonder, too, with such reputation as he
has for sightseeing, and acquiring knowledge
about Uncle Sans extensive dominions. Now,
in consequence of having, inadvertently, it must
have been, in manner overlooked us, he will
go back to Washington without having seen
anything of Importance after all his long jour
ney. Well the next prominent visitor we trust
will have the good taste to come this way. Still
Mr.. Colfax is no doubt very clever gentleman.
The editor of the P. C. Advocate speaks of him
in the following manner:
Mr.. Colfax is practical printer, and, for
about twenty years, was proprietor and editor
of newspaper, which Horace Greeley pro.
nounced second to none published in the Mis-
sissippi valley. For twelve years, in success
sion, he has represented the ninth district of In
diana in the Congress of the United States. He
has served as Speaker of the last Congress- rem
dering entire satisfaction to all parties Two
traits of character have given Mr.. Colfax his
| present exalted position and enviable reputa-
tion-honesty and industry. In all things from
! childhood he has dared to speak out candidly
and to follow his convictions of duty. In the
town and county in which his youth and man
hood have been spent he has always command
ed the respect and confidence of the people,
And his industry and perseverance have been
unsurpassed and rarely equaled. Having known
him well, we speak with the more confidence.
In his office we always saw him with pen in
hand, or if necessary, with composition stick,
setting type as briskly as the best And in
Congress he has been an indefatigable worker,
as the records and Journals of the house will
show. Being printer and editor he is sure to
call and exchange greetings with his fellow
craftsmen.

MILITARY NEws.-General Wright made a
speech before the "Pioneef Association" in
Sacramento on the 4th of July.
It is stated on good authority that General
Halleck will assume command of the "Divison
of the Pacifc"-McDowell to remain in COM
mand of Dept. of California.
Colonel Maury retired from the command Of
the military district of Oregon on the l4th of
this month. Colonel Curry assumed command
of said District the next day.
The Paymaster at Fort Vancouver has paid
off discharged soldiers of the lst W. T. Regi-
ment. All the men belonging to the few remain
ing companies of this Regiment, which were
consolidated a short time since, are to be mus
tered out of service
A detachment of forty men lately left Fort
Boise to establish military camp on Camas
Prairie, about one hundred miles beyond Boise
City. Forty-fve men, under Lieutenant Curry
have gone to Rock Greek, above Salmon Falls,
to remain until late in the autumn.
An order has been issued from headquarters
for the immediate discharge of all soldiers on
this Coast, Cavalry excepted) whose terms of
service will expire on the 1st of October next.
Lieutenant HObert, of the Oregon Cavalry has
made an official report to Lieutenant Colonel
Drake, commanding the sub-District of Oregon,
of his late fight with the Snake Indians on the
Malheur river some two weeks ago Four In
dians were killed, and it was supposed several
were wounded; none of the soldiers were killed,
but two were wounded. Lieut.. H. speaks in
high terms of the bravery evnced by his men.

The Marysyille Appeal insinuates that Gov.
Low, the 'short hair candidate for Q. S. Sem
ator, is as much of a miscegenationist as the
blackest of the tribe of "long hairs" and says
the boilers and friends of Low, who are blowing
about the the streets against the abolition
long hairs, should include Gen. Evans in the
the list they are abusing? "Quote John Con-
ness, too, who is in favor of negro suffrage.
Quote Gov. Stanford, whose amiable lady
cheered the negroes in the 4th July procession,
and who is for Gov. Low" The long hairs in
vite the short hairs to make all the capital they
can on this point. The shorts, in this case at
least, are evidently trying to make distinction
where there is not the slightest shade of differ
ence. The senatorial aspirants are pretty much
all of color.

The Canyon City folks are in much trouble
about the famous Oregon Sunday law. They,
too, are "going to test its validity" ofcourse
the law is valid; but it seems to be terribly
''persecuting" in mining towns, where Sunday
is the Cuisines" day of the week The Noun
taineer thinks that the law "is in advance of
public sentiment" but good many people
seem to think it's altogether behind it, for they
class it with the old "Blue Laws of Connecti-
cut''-a code of stringent laws which have
