you would have thought they ware al.
most angels; but if you had seen them
in tie street, or in the counting house
or anywhere else outside OF their own
house, you would have thought them
almost demoniac. But the opposite is
opt, TO ho the case. When we are among
our neighbors, or among strangers, we
bold ourselves with self.respect, and en-.
deavor to act with propriety; but when
we get home we say 10 ourselves, Il have

FROM CoLvILLE.-Mr. VIM. McWhirk,
mail contractor between here and Colville,
informs us that Capt Len. White is engaged
in getting out the timbers for his boat, at
the Little Dalles, about twenty miles above
old Fort Colville. The Captain proposes to
have his boat steaming up towards the new
mines in a few months.
A letter had been received at Colville from
Mr. Al. Roll, in the new Columbia mines, in
which he states that these mines are equal in
richness to the Kootenai diggings, and much
more extensive.
Colville valley is, as usual.at this season,
covered with considerable depth of snow.
Mr. McWhirk, in coming down with the
mail, was compelled to travel to the lake, be-
tween Spokane and Snake rivers, on snow
shoes.

The Lewiston Radiator says the STATES
MAN misrepresents the people of Walla
Walla county on the matter of Division
A very likely story We guess the people
of this county would soon set themselves
right on the question if they were misrepre-
sented. The Radiator is endeavoring to
make it appear that the people down this
way are all in favor of division; that they
are anxious to have the county attached to
the Lewiston Territory, but the STATES
MAN misrepresents them and therefore they
have to submit to the misrepresentation.
The editor of the Radiator has been study
ing law of late, and probably that helps him
to arrive at such profound conclusions. Sup
pose you look at the other side, "honest
Alonzo," and see ifyou cannot by a close ex-
animation, with the aid of your law books,
discover a slight error in your reckoning; for
it is barely possible that you are misrepre-
senting the people of Walla Walla county,
instead of the STATESMAN.
