New TEsrs.-In Oregon it is disloyal to
pay State taxes with greenbacks; it is unpa-
triotic to doubt the divine mission,of Gibbs
and saeriligious to question the infallibility
of Pearne Not to subscribe to the Santa
ry Fund raises doubts of loyalty, not to con-
tribute to the Christian Commission is a
proof of heterodoxy and to pay nothing to
the Freedmen's Commission is rank treason.
To quote the Constitution is grave Ofense,
and to find fault with political preachers is
damnable. Finally, to speak of peace, in
the name of the Prince of Peace, is proof
of lack of Christian principle.

FRUIT PROSPECTS prospects at
this time for an abundant fruit yield in the
Walla Walla valley next Fall are very fat
tering. Owing to the long continuance of
winter weather the fruit buds are unusually
backward and promise to bloom late enough
in the Spring to escape injury from frosts.
Should this prove to be the case there will
be nearly enough fruit grown here to sup
ply the home demand, and shipments for
this section from the lower country next
fall and winter will be light. The'peach or
chards, although young, are of thrifty
growth and there are several thousand trees
in the valley that will produce well if the
season proves favorable. The same may al
so be said of the apple orchards. Pear,
cherry and other varieties of fruit trees are
not plentiful as yet, at least not of sufficient
growth to bear any considerable quantity of
fruit this year.

SAOKING OF ATLANTA.-It appears that
the local population adjacent to Atlanta are
principally responsible for the pillage of At

Georgia authorities to force the robbers to
disgorge their ill-gotten gains. Amongst
the things taken were one hundred and fifty
pianos.

have the hon0 to inform you that Wilmington
has been evacuated and is in possession of our
forces After the evacuation of Fort Anderson,
I pushed forward the gunboats as far as the wa
ter would permit. The army pushed up at the
same time. l succeeded in getting fifty gunboats
over the bar and opened fire on Fort Strong, a
work commanding the principal distractions,
and where the rebels had sunk large steamer,
the North Eastern Our fire soon drove the reb-
els away from the place, but now and then they
would fire shot, one of which struck the SGSSa-
cus below her water line and set her leakingb bad
ly. No lives were lost. The rebels sent down
200 floating torpedoes. had strong force of
picket boats out and the torpedoes were sunk
with musketry. One, going on the Sassacus, blew
up and knocked down her bulkhead. No dam
age done to thehulI. Some ofthe vessels picked
up the torpedoes with their torpedo nets. Next
morning | espied two fishing nets across the riv-
er Yesterday evening, Gen. Ames' division
moved within short distance of the fort and
had sharp encounter with the rebels On hear
ing musketry and seeing where our troops were,
l opened rapid fire on the fort all along the
enemy's line. The fort responded with three or
four Shots but was soon silenced. This morn
ing we heard that Gen. Terry was in the works
and that the road was clear to Wilmington

New York, Feb. 24,-The Tribune has the fol-

The progress of Sherman through South Car
olna, has not met since the fall of Columbia,
with the slightest resistance, regardless of the
enemy's movements and the apparent out-gener-
alng of the Confederate commander, have crea-
ted very serious Apprehension on the part ofthe
public, as to the condition, purpose and plans Of
Beauregard and we are not able tomake out his
prompt but excited evacuationsof Columbia. It
indicates very great weakness. or it may be a
part of very deep strategy, the success of which
will give back all that was lost,

Some one thus describes the personal appear
ance Of Gems. Hooker, Sherman and Thomas =
''Hooker is a fine looking man. Dress him in a
citizens suit and you would pick him out for a
general. Sherman, great as he is you would
not select for good second lieutenant Queer,
isn't it, how differently great minds are cased
Gen. Thomas you would think well-to-do farm
er were he not in uniform. cold Safety" is his
nickname. The men and officers have unbound
ed confidence in him. Indeed, the army has
cause to be very thankful for its commanders.

22d, says: Last night 100 rebels left for their
homes from one brigade Hokes division of
Longstreet's corps, is the only large body of
troops which have been sent South from Lees
army. The estimated strength of the rebel ar
my around Petersburg, is about 10000. The
news of Sherman's success in South Carolina had
become generally known throughout the rebel
army and caused feeling of universal depres-
sion The priyates made no secret of their in
tention to desert Lee has placeda heavy guard
in his rear to prevent them going back to their
homes. The deserters confirm the statement
that seige guns have been removed from Peters
burg and carried to some point in the rear Of
that city. Rebel officers openly express the opin-
ion that nothing can stop Shermans advance,
and hence the priyates desert by scores.

WATER IN THE MINEs.-It is the gen
eral impression in the various mining dis
tricts of the upper country, that there will
be no lack of water to work the mines with
this season. The snow has fallen to great
er depth in all the mining camps the past
winter than usual, and mining operations
will commence later than common on ac-
count oft great depth and the coldness of
the weather However, when the spring
thaws commence there will be plenty of wa
ter to work with from the melting snow, and
when this gives out the numerous water
bitches will supply the mines until late in
the fall, unless the summer happens to bean
unusually dry one. At present all the indica-
tiOns appear favorable for prosperous min
ing season throughot all the surrounding
camps, and the gold and silver yield promi-
ses this year to double that of the last.

Too LArE.-The President, it is an

Too LATE.-The President, it is an
nounced, has signed a Congressional bill
which is intended to prevent military inter-
ference with elections. The bill provides
for the punishment of officers and others in
the military service who shall in any man
ner interfere to prevent the right Of suffrage.
A bill for this special purpose was brought
up in Congress and thoroughly discussed
one year ago. It's adoption was then advo-
Gated by both Democratic and Conservative
members, and given the cold shoulder by
the Republican and radical members. 1t
was fully and clearly shown at that time
that military interference with elect
ions had become so prevalent in the States
of Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky and Mis-
souri,, that elections there were farcical.-
Unusual test oaths were prescribed for yo-
ters by military officers, and army orders
were pompously issued by fanatical Briga-
diers, which were purposely designed to pre-
vent all except the most intensely radical
Abolitionists from voting. Military inter
ference went on from bad to worse until its
operations extended throughout some, if not
all, of the Northern States and until it had
accomplished about all it could do and leave
the semblance of free ballot system in ex-
istence. But it must be remembered that
military interference with elections one year
ago amounted to "a military necessity" A
loyal President had to be elected the ensu-
ing Fall, and "military interference" was
necessary to accomplish so desirable result.
1t was disagreeable even with the most de-
yout fanatics to employ the coercive aid of
military power to make their election sure;
but "the end justified the means" and the
Congressional bill to prevent military inter-
ference with elections was last year indef-
nitely postponed Subsequently "the right
man was put in the right place" as Chief
Executive, by the help of military interfer-
ence and systematic intermeddling, and
after that there was nothing to gain by con-
trolling elections by the ilitary system. So
to give matters color of fairness and to
show TIE public that the Union party is
"bound" to maintain the purity of the bal
lot-box, the Administrations worshipping
members of the recent Congress have per-
mitted bill to pass which is designed to
punish all the petty tyrants who shall here
after interfere to prevent American citizens
from exercising the right of voting for the
men of their choice. The bill should have
passed one year ago, and it would have been
but for the opposition it encountered from
the members who belonged, soul and body,
to the Administration. The necessity for
the passage of such law was obvious to
all who recognized the right of citizens to
vote for whOmsoeyer they saw proper, longer
than one year ago, and it is to be regretted
that one could not be passed sooner. The
bill has finally passed, but too late, very
likely, to be of any practical utility, as all
the measures of the Administration, of ev-
cry nature, can be put through by those
who have been elected to Congress through
the aid of "military interference"

A despatch from one of "our delegation, - da-
ted 18th February, says: "The Mint bill is still
in committee, which probably will report ad-
versely. No fears of any change" We have be-
fore us letters from Hon Geo. E. Cole and one
of 'sour delegation" dated since the reference
to the memorial, and they both write that there
is not the least apprehension of the removal, but
express fears that in the squabble for the loca-
ton, the Secretary of the Treasury will find an
excuse not to furnish the money already appro-
priated. They also write that the memorial ask
ing Congress to make Portland port of entry
was laughed at.
