"tender foot" for California, Oregon, and
Idaho people: "yonder siders." If anything
like an extravagant story of courage and
bravery is related, ''tender foot" throws out
Gin the form of slur) the remark that such
an one must have come from "youder side"
If "tender foot exhibits any ignorance of
matters or want of education, "yonder side"
laughs immoderately. Thus you see society
is composed of two sectional elements which
it will take some commingling or "miscege-
mating" process to harmonic.
The emigration from the West has so far
been very great, and | learn many more are

reader. Do not come to this country until
another season, unless you can we'll afford
to lay still through long northern winter
without chance of labor, and for your own
sake, pecuniarily, and otherwise, if you are
a producer, do not neglect to plant and SOW
every inch of tillable soil you have, for by
this means you will bring the gold of these
mines much more easily to your purse than
by hunting the mountain ravines to find it.
Few miners succeed in making a fortune, but
all miners must pay tribute to your labor,
and therefore yours is not only life of com

sure to obtain that fortune, as you tax both

The stoppage of the overland mail line through
cut off many Of our exchanges. How long this
state Of things is TO continue we have no means
of knowing, but hope not great while, for it
it is rather perplexing. to a newspaper Office to
be without is most valuable exchange papers
until they are of too old date to be of any SER
vice The papers which have recently come to
hand from below, complain bitterly about the
suspension of this mail line, and unite in urging
its early re-establshment So that in all gasb-
ability, unless California and Oregon have been
guilty of some "disloyal practices" the mail
line will soon be in regular operation again.

EARLY SNow.-Great Salt Lake City and vi
cinity, was visited by snow storm, on the 10th
inst, which done considerable injury to the
fruit crop. This is something unusual for that
locality, but up in the Blackfoot country a snow
storm in the early part of September would ex-
cite no comment. A man who went to the lat

General Banks, formerly Speaker Of the House
of Representatives, and latterly the hero of the
Red River disaster and its attending cotton spec
ulatiOn8, has written long letter in which he
declares in favor of extending the right of suf-
frage to Americans of African descent Colfax.
the present Speaker, is understood to favor the
same thing, and the members of the lower House
who voted him the Speakership, knowing him
to be sound on negro suffrage, are also in favor
of it, and we might say the people, who sent
those men to Congress, are in favor of it; but we
don't say it, for the people were deceived on this
point. No candidate for Congress, ever yet
took his stand upon the stump, before the peo-
pie, proclaiming negro suffrage principles; and
for the simple reason that to advocate such doc
trines was to face positive and overwhelming
defeat. And yet both Houses of Congress are
teeming with members holding those views, and
even The Cabinet ITSELF is half black, with the
other half tinctured or half colored. There is
no way to account for the sooty-colored Congress
and Cabinet but by acknowledging the fact that
the people were deceived into voting for men of
positive negro suffrage notwithstanding no
idea that they were hosting men to power who
differed from them SO widely on vital que8-
ton.

We Should Never Speak Before Knowing

EDS. STATESMAN Have the goodness to give
me space in your paper that may do justice
to the citizens of Walla Walla, who have al
ways shown themselves very generous in behalf
of the establishment of the Sisters Of Charity
We read in the Oregon Reporter, Of August 9th,
thatth Institution owed its progress and sue
cess to Capt Mullan and family. So far as
can learn, this gentleman did not show himself
as generous the other citizens of Walla Wal
la for many subscribeda much larger sum than
he did Therefore I think it is my duty. to do
justice to gentleman who donated SIPS, 9TH
ers 500, in letting them know that Capt. Ms.
donation was but $25. Further; Mrs Mullan
WAS President of the Ladies' Fair of 1868, but
the articles were prepared and furnished by the

EDS. Acting upon the
presumption that all communities are bene.
fitted by free exhange of news, I will in a
| few words attempt condensed letter for the
benefit of your readers on "yonder side"
The country is both broad and rich, in
its mineral area, and daily extending, until
its known dimensions have become mani
moth in size.
shall not attempt any such particulars,
such as rocker yields, sluice yields, etc. for
the simple reason that stories afoat are too
large to be credited by the writer But
again there is little work doing AS one
gulch after another isopenod, grand STAN
pede follows, and as this occurs about twice
per week, it is hardly to be supposed any
great amount Of labor can be performed |
have almost fancied while looking at a
"stampede," that we would soon be OBJ
liged to encourage immigration in order to
fill up the vacant places.
The great difficulty Of establishing per-
manently in this country, is to decide upon
the central point. I am Of the opinion. that
either in Bitter Root valley, or Hellgate val
ley must be town of no small dimensions
1t is now a settled case that Oregon, Wash
ington and Northern Idaho must contribute
very largely to the supplies Of this country
Unless we have very heavy accession to
the stock Of feur now here, that article will
reach 81 900 per pound before spring. Near
ly every article of merchandise pays an
enormous profit here over freight and cost in
your own town The grand supply point
for this place is Salt Lake City. From
others, learn that goods are equally high,
and from the bare fact that 25 900 troops
are to be quartered there in addition to the
present swollen population, this winter, we
need look for but little from there No
more will come from the Plains to speak of,
SO tell your enterprising merchants and
farmers to grasp this trade and secure it
while in their power to do So Itneeds but
a single effort, bat that should be put forth
this fall. All goods from that side stand
well and will receive the preference here by
liberal per centage.
MANNERS AND CUSTOMS.
Many who come from the Western Slope,
are apt to form too hasty an opinion of the
people in this Territory. They do not re-
member that most of them are from the
Western States and have not been
changed by contact with the climate or
customs of California. They still preserve
the manners and customs Of their native
towns and villages. Besides, the first emf
grafton from the west to this country was
lily calculated to produce. a favorable impress
sion Of the class of people that might be
expected to follow. The terms used to des-
ignate the two classes of immigrants illus
trates the feeling sometimes lily concealed
by the most ignorant classes. For States
Or Colorado immigrants, the term used is

STAGE Robberv4

Mr. H. Bledsoe gives US the following account
of the robbery of the Boise stage, on the 2lst
instant:
GAS the stage was passing out the mouth OF
the Canyon, coming up from Straw Ranch on
Burnt River, it was attacked by six robbers, in
open dayight-l2 o'clock, NJ There were 2
passengers on board, of whom three were wo-
men, besides the road blacksmith and driver.
The stage had just turned a sharp angle in the
road when the robbers, 6 in number, commenced
firing at it, and ordered the driver, Jack Win
ehell, to stop. One of the robbers got hold of
the near lead horse, and then ordered one of his
men to shoot the driver, which resulted in a
failure of his shotgun to fire, he bursting both
caps at the driver, when the one who held the
horse, shot the horse through the heart causing
him to plunge forward and knock robber No. ,
down The driver whipped up and the Stage
and horses proceeded about 200 yards, when the
wounded horse fell dead, piing up the horses
in confusion and causing the stage to come to a
dead halt. The driver Immediately jumped off
and was followed by all the passengers, except
the women and a Mr.. Goodman, who says he
made two Intellectual shots, when the robbers
came up and ordered him to deliver up his mon
ey, which he did The other passengers were in
full retreat, excepting two of the women whom
tie bandits verypOlitely helped out fthe stag and
relieved of all their money and ear rings. After
this they plundered the stage OF every thing In
the shape of bullion, gold dust, &C.. andquickly
departed for the mountains, leaving the stage
with the dead horse in the road. About this time
the stage from Uniontown, bound up country,
made its appearance at the scene of the robbery,
when the team was unhtched and a new team
was hiteked on, and in a few minutes the passen-
gers, minus their treasurej were on their journey
again.
Mr.. Goodman lost ten thousand dollars, and
the other passengers were robbed of various
sums, the whole amounting to about 5000
The passengers, after they got over their scare,
concluded that if they had shown fight they
could have Whipped the robbers. There was no
express on the stage. Mr.. Goodman thinks that,
passengers, robbers and all, were the most cow
ardly set that ever met under SUCH circumstan-
ces "

and the proprietor of the Oregoaian, has handed
in little bill of several thousand dollars for
printing which has never been delivered to the
State; and among other items, he charges in
the account the Internal Revenue tax which he
is compelled to pay the United States on the
work done for the State of Oregon-or, in other
words, he is endeavoring to make the State pay
his taxes for this year. It is good idea if it
would only work; but Secretary May "can't see
it in that light" The Printer evidently thinks
that if he can print the Laws, hecankeep them
in soak for a speculation.-Oregon Statesman.
