INTRODUCTORY.

With the issue Of this date the under
signed assumes control Of the columns of
the STATESMAN Custom reqOiFes that in
SO doing we should indicate the principles
that are to govern US in the discharge Of the
responsible duties Of an editor. To very
many of the readers ofthis paper we are not
unknown, and these will require but few
words by way of explanation. The first duty
of the journalist, we take it to be, is to ad-
vocate the local and material interests of the
community in which he lives and from whom
for the most part be must draw his support.
To this single idea all other aims and purpO-
ses should be held subservient. and acting on
this principle it shall be our constant care to
make the STATESMAN faithful advocate Of
local interests. To this labor we shall con-
Secratc whatever ability we possess, and shall
be glad to receive the aid and counsel of all
those who are interested in the Development
and progress Of this highly favored section
Of country. Whilst advocating home inter.
ests, we shall not be Indifferent to questions
Of National or Territorial importance, on all
Of which we shall endeavor to keep our rea-
ders we'll posted. Political questions as they
nrise will be discussed temperately and calm
ly, and in the spirit Of patriotism rather
than that of party. With very decided Pc
litical convictions, we shall not esteem it
duty to force our views and opinions upon
those who differ with US, and whose patriot.
ism and integrity of purpose we have no
right to question With this brief outline
of our views and intentions, and hoping to
retain all the old friends and patrons of the
STATESMAN, as also gain many new ones,
we submit our claims to an indulgent public

An AFALAHoHK OF fREAsuRE.-At Wells,
Fargo Cos Office, on Sunday last, our atten-
ton was directed to an immense mass o bullion,
the aggregate weight ofwhich was three thousand
pounds. The whole Of this glitteriug pile was
brought down By Saturdays stage, and was the
largest amount ever received in one day. OF
this sum, ffseen hundred pounds was taken
from the "Poor Mans" ledge. Passengers who
came down by the stage state that such was the
weight Of treasure that they were unable to
make the usual time. It has long been the boast
of our Washoe neighbors that they compute
their silver yield by the ton. Idaho and Owy-
hec "raises" them and sends down the golden
treasure by the ton

CoEuR D'ALENE QUARTZ Fermentation.
Daniel Stewart and others, returned to this
city last week, after an absence Of some four
teen days, spent in quartz Investigations in the
Cpur d'Alene mountains, short distance from
the Catholic mis- The party, we are in
formed, discovered several Incorporating veins
of gold bearing quartz, in addition to the orig
inal ledge found some six or eight weeks ago,
and now known as "The Mammoth" Among
the names given to some of the new lodges, are
"The Blazing Star, and "Ceur Aleue." As
says made from Eock taken from the two latter,
and several other lodges, show more or less
gold in all of them. However, "The Mammoth"
appears to stand A. No. l, among the list. 1t
will be recolected that an assay of rock from
this ledge was made several weeks ago and that
one piece yielded at the rate of 81, 100 to the
ton. Pieces Of rock brought down by Mr. Stew
art and party, from the same ledge, do not as
say quite so we'll yet good enough to induce the
parties interested to 60 on aud spend time and
money with the view Of sinking down upon and
thoroughly prospecting the lode The gold
in this rock is as fne as flour, and distributed
in such n manner as not to be visible to the
eye. There is no such thing as selecting i'rich
pieces from The Mammoth lode for assay, as
the rock is all of the same general appearance
not particle of gold being visible in any of
it. The lode is described to be unusually wide,
varying from Is to 20 feet. It is thought to be
well-defned ledge, and has been traced along
the mountain half mile, The CGur d'Alene
river runs handy by The Mammoth, affording all
that could be desired in the way of water facil-
tiles to work with, Timber is abundant all
around; there is good road all the way from
Walla Wala to where the Mammoth lode jFts
out of the mountain sidenbove the Mission. Ev-
erything in short, is described as most favora-
BILE to the development of ''irst class quartz
district in that particular locality. The quartz
is in just the right place to be tumbled down to
the river-there to be crushed by twenty
stamp forty-stamp, or any other kind Of n
stamp-mill to be erected for crushing pur-
poses We hope that these new quartz dscov-
cries will turn out TO be something soid-some-
thing more than a scramble after ''feet" and q
squabble about something of no value. The
quartz, so far, promises well, we hope il will
open out better-it would throw much Of the
shining orc into this valley, and we are certain
ne good citizen would object to that. More
quartz from the aforementioned locality is ex
pscted to arrive here for assay in few days,
when we shah refer to the subject again

AccEPTABLE.-News items from the va
riOus districts of the upper country are al.
ways acceptable. 1t matters not how briefly
they may be stated, or whether the writer
constructs his sentences according to the
rules of grammar; just give US the facts,
and we win undertake the labor of putting
them in proper shape. Intelligence Of what
the miners are doing in the different sections,
is interesting to readers both at home and
abroad. Send along the items.

FLoUn YIELD.-Reese's mill is turning out an
average of sixty barrels per day of first quality
flour. All the other mills in the valley are run
ming full time, and so great is the production
that it is thought we shall be very nearly, if not
quite able to supply the mining districts with
all the -four they may require. At an early day
there was prejudice against -four from this
valley, but this is removed, and in the mines
Walla Walla -four stands as high as the very best
Oregon brands. Indeed, we learn that it is fast
gaining the preference, and promises to super
scede all outside brands,

FERD PATTERSON AcourrrED.-E. L.
James, ESQ, has received letter from Boise

we are permitted to extract the following /:

Fsrd Patterson has been acquitted. The jury

turned verdict Ofnot guilty. Tho bitterest
opponents Of Patterson, after hearing the

ATTACKING THE PREsIDENr.-The Orr

ATTACKING THE PRESIDENT The Ore
gonian of the 7th, thus refers to the Presi
dents policy of reconstruction
"0n his accession to the Presidency, Mr..
Johuson told the country that treason was
crime aud must be punished with severity
Candor compels US to say that in his subse-
quent course he does not appear to have ad-
hered to this opinion. His method of dealing
with rebels may be the very best for the
country that could be devised, but we cannot
help thinking that the bringing of some Of
the leaders of the insurrection to condign
punishment would provo slutary check
upop the ambition of those whose instincts
lead them to be traitors, and who only wait
their opportunity to light up the flames of
civil war In addition to the need of deter
rent examples, the law also should be vindi-
Gated. Further than the military suppression
of the rebellion, this has not yet been done
in single instance. BY reason of extreme
leniency, treason is in dagger Of being thought

THE MINT.-At a time when our mines are
turning out treasure by the ton, the necessity for
a Mint at some point in the Northern couatry is
more than ever felt. 1t is TO be hoped ths. at
the next session of Congress the rrpTese q tatiyes
from Oregon will stop quaueling over the ques-
ton of location, and use their united influence
in favor of the early establishment of Miut.-
In the absence of an Institution of this kind
nearly the whole business Of the Northern coun
Try is carried on by means Of the exchange Of
"dust'-a system which Affords facility for
fraud and is attended with great inconvenience.
Rashoe, with gold yield comparatively small,
has Mint in course Of erection, and we know
Of no reason Why this Northern country, with
vastly greater resources should not be similarly
favored. Indeed, we have it on good authority,
that bad 1t not been for the quarrels Of our Or
sgon neighbors on the question Of location, the
boilding of the Mint would already have been
commenced. The idoa that the business of the
whole country Is to be interrupted for no better
reason than that interested parties have not
been permitted TO have their own way in the
matter Of location, is not to be tolerated The
necessities of the country demand The erection
Of the Mint at the earliest possible moment,
and no mere squabble among the owners Of town
Sitessbould BE permitted to retard the measure
We believe that the people Of the upper eoan-
NY with scarce an eEeePtiOn, aequissee ID the
action Of oOagress, and all that they now ask is,
that no time be lost in putting the institstioD
in Operations. '.-

Business, as general thing, is not quite so

that there are plenty Of provisions in The mines
to last all winter, and there need be no fear in
