1@> The river deported itself strangely
yesterday. Notwithstanding the intense
cold of the past week, the ice commenced
to break up yesterday afternoon, and IN 9
short time the river opposite the town
was impossible. A channel near this
side, lew yards wide, was opened. the
remainder of the ice being still solid. The
river mus, have fallen somewhere, and
the sinking Of the ice have caused the
break. The river could be crossed at the
lower part of town last evening.

New York, Oct 2-The Times to-day says the
steamers CHy Of Boston and Erin which sailed
from this port on Saturday are said to have TAX
en- out million of bonds for the use of the en-
brvo Irish Republic. It is currently reported
that as soon as these bonds reach Ireland, mat
tiers will assume a more definite form. A procla-
nation, also printed here, will be spread broad
cast throughout the land. So well guarded is
every avenue that there is no possibility of the
British government obtaining these documents
or interfering with the plan. 1t is claimed that
the bonds have nearly all been subscribed by
many people whom the goverhment little sus-
poets On the other hand the British govern
ment claims to have knowledge of of all bonds
and have an agent on boardj the steam :
ers in question, who will at the proper time,
seize and trrn them over to the home govern
ment. In all probability both these steamers
will be thoroughly searched before going to
Queenstown, at least before any passengers or
freight are allowed to land. War vessels are by
this time stationed at Queenstown for this ex-
press purpose.
In France there are rumors of Ministerial chan

Letter from Lewiston.


LEWISTON, Oct 9Th, 1865.
EDS. STATEsMAN:-I promised to write you on
my arrival, so here goes. have little to say in
regard to my trip from Walla Walla, suffice it
to say; that; owing to the dust, heat and other
inconvenences, it was enough to make preach
er swear; and then the idea of having the stage
driver alking natural philosophy to yob by way
of persuading you to walk up a steep mountain
side just before supper, in order to give you an
appetite, and ,anOtheru after to assist your di-
gestve organs, and so on, before and after each.
meal, from the time You leave Walla Walla until
you reach lewiston is certainly edifying if not
pleasant.
Well, Lewiston is a bully place, and seems to
be determined on remaining so. The citizens,
generally, seem to be contented and happy. They
seem to be following the Cheap John auction
eers plan, and "will have no more nor take no
less" In absence Of the Legislature here this
winter they are, apparently we'll satisfied with
the location of a well regulated hurdy gurdy of
fee, which is in session at present, and from
all can learn doing good business Speak
ing of hurdy gurdies, puts me in mind that AL
eek has been running his court here this week,
to tolerably fair houses. Also, the United States
Marshal is here gathering up Government rub
bish, which was left here last winter through the
hurry and excitement Of moving the capital. /

some of the hoops are offand it has lostits bung-

where it is hoped, it will arrive in time to save
Uncle Samuel the expense of buying new tools.

as a debt is really necessary for the good ofthe

that kind of blessings as will stick us together

Blackfoot is undoubtedly a 'big thing" 1
have seen immense amounts of the dust since ar
irving here.
There is good opening for some enterprising
man to make good thing on a trail from Walla
Walla to Blackfoot, if the natives of Lewiston
would allow the whites to travel through their
country. The route called the Lolo Fork trail
could be opened with very little expense, and, is
said to be, the best and most direct route to
these mines from either Walla Wala or Lewis
ton If the parties going into the enterprise
could satisfy the inhabitants that they would not
have their peace and quiet disturbed by the traT-
cling public, they would, perhaps, consent to
have this trail opened.

WONT OPEN IT.-EyerybOdy in this country
would like to have the Mullan Wagon Road
opened up through to the Blackfoot mines, but
no one seems to care enough about it to make
any practical move in the matter By opening
the road, it is confidently believed that this
country would secure, permanently, a great por-
ton of the trade with those mines, besides fur
nishing good route for future emigration from
the States. A considerable portion of this
years emigration would have come in by this
route if wagons could have come over it. In
view of these important facts, why is it that
no effort has been or is likely to be made to
open this route? We don't know why, unless
it is because the enterprise would only cost a
small sum of money, or because it would be a
great benefit to the public. If it was matter
requiring an outlay of hundred thousand dol
lars or so, for the erection of monument to old
John Brown or some other dead wretch, or if it
was some 'Freedmen hpmbuging movement
with two or three Sanitary thieves to open sub
scription books, to act as agents, and finally to
pocket nearly all the money, the movement
would succeed admirably. This is about fair
estimate Of the enterprise of the great American
public at this time. Humbug us and "every
thing goes" try something really beneficial
and it never assumes practical shape; nobody
goes a red on it. Possibly this wagon road
matter may take better start next Spring. It
is believed to be late to do much toward it this
Fall
, 1865-10-13

THERE is yet no prospect of an I'M
immediate renewal of the mail service be-
tween Portland and California. All papers
that have heretofore come over that route
have of late failed to come to hand The
only means now of sending letter from
here to California is by express, or by the
Salt Lake mail.
