Prospects Ahead.

Walla Walla has, Notwithstanding state
ments to the contrary, the same prospect
ahead that she had three years ago. The
same facilities are as good to-day, if not bet
ter, to enrich the valley, as they were in the
palmy days of Orc FinO, Elk City and Flor
ence mines. Markets are being made every
day for her produce, and energy is being
displayed as much as ever by the citizens in
taking that produce to those markets and
pocketing the proceeds-particularly the
latter. During this, and next year, all the
-four used by the surrounding mining camps
will be supplied by this valley at prices so
Tow as to defy competition BY the lower
countries, and insure handsome profit to
both nillers and farmers. This is one thing
that should be looked upon as an advance
ment above our former grade. Four years
ago, the greater portion of the -four, bacon,
etc, was shipped from the lower countries,
at an enorT Jus profit, and, instead of bring.
ing money into the country It took it out
But, this with time, has changed. Walla
Walla is, as she always will be, the matt
supply depot for all the mining camps above
Wallula. No longer does the merchants Of
interior towns have to travel six or seven
hundred miles for ;he purpose Of purchasing
stock of goods; but buys them nearer
home. Men, who have capital to invest, are
beginning to look upon this valley with an
"eye to business" and not only evince their
judgement in regard to the stability of the
valley by loaning their money, but are max
ing this place their home.
The gold fields of Blackfoot promise a
market for a large portion Of our productions,
and 1t being easy Of access at all times of
the year, !. will be the cause of this valley
becoming richer by hundreds of thousands
of dollars.
The new quartz mines discovered at Flor
'ence and C@ur d Alene, promises to bring
about renewal of the same state of things
that existed in '62, when the great rush was
made to Salmon river.
All the land that has heretofore been va
cant, is being rapidly settled by emmisrautS
from the Eastern States, and men who were
TURNER'S before they came here THIS is
one of the things that has iwpcded the pros
perity Of the valley. Men have come here
and settled upon farms who knew no more
about farm than a man does about events
to transpire during his future life
Notwithstanding all the indications of
prosperity, some are predicting as they al.
ways have Gone ever since Walla Wala be-
came Of the size TO bear that title, that the
town is gone in, and that .'in another sea
son the town will hardly show any signs of
life, owing to its dulness." This prediction
was made last year in regard to the business
oflhis season, but Walla Walla moves not.
withstanding.
This is, at present one of the most lively
towns on the coast Persons coming
from the Dalles and Portland state that
rhero is a much larger business being done in
Walla Walla than. either of those places.
Our agricultural resources will, without
the aid of anything else, make this
good town. But, when speaking of the
agricultural department, alone, supporting
the town, we make mention of something
which will not be done for twenty years.

MURDER.-A man by the name of William u
Lamar, was murdered about two hundred yardl
from this city, on Tuesday, the 3lst of October,
by some person or persons unknown. About
half-past six o'clock in the evening" some of the
citizens hearing shots fred in the direction of
the City Brewery, accompanied by the cry of
some one in distress, proceeded in the direction
the noise. After good deal of searching,
they discovered trail, which gave evidence of
something having been drawn upon the ground,
and after following it about one hundred yards
from the road they came suddenly upon the
dead body of a man, partly hidden under some
bushes. Upon the discovery of the body, the
party sent three of their number to town for the
Sheriff and Coroner while the rest stayed and
watched it, The Sheriff came Immediately, and
started out Upon a Reconnaissance for the pur-
pose Of catching tho murderers; but, we have
since learned, met with no success. Soon after
the departure ofthe Sheriff, the Coronar arrived,
bringing with him wagon for the purpose Of
carrying the body into town, where an inquest
was held. The man was shot four times with
what is supposed to be pistols, and twice with
shot gum loaded with small shot, besides having
his head broken in, Two hundred dollars in
gold con was found upon his person, besides,
few Peices of silver. Rumor says that this is
one ofthe men who helped to rob the stage be-
tween this place and Boise, lately, and it is be-
lieved that there was row in regard to the d.
vision OF the spoils, and his accomplces killed
him. The Coroner's Jury rendered the verdict
to the effect that the deceased was named W,
H. Lamar; aged 35 years. That he came to his
death from pistol and gun shot wounds In the
hands Of some person or persons unknown,

volt We subject them to exposure, we overtnsk
them, we overload the stomach, neglect the bow

into atmosphere below freezing point, and in
various other ways trife with our health. .
But these frames of ours are wonderful machines,
and we can, by the use of the PROPER MEANS, SO
INVIGORATE and REGULATE them as to render
them almost proof against the ordeals to which, in
our recklessness, we subject them.
Nothing that has ever been known or heard of as

Provisional Governor Of South Carolina
Your letter of the 4th instant is just now
received. While much has been done in
South Carolina that if conducive to peace and
restoration, the President still thinks it is
impossible to anticipate events. He expects,
therefore, that you will continue to exercise
the duties heretofore dexolved upon you as
Provisional Governor of South Carolina aud
until you shall be relieved by his order He
observes with regret that neither the Conven-
ton nor the State Legislature has pronounced
the debts aud obligations contracted in the
name of the State for unconstitutional and
even rebellious purposes to be void. He
equally regrets that the State seems to decline
the Congressional Amendment of the Consti-
tuition of the United States abolishing sla-
very. ..
l telegraphed to you yesterday as follows !:
The President directs me to write you
that an early adoption of the Congressional
Amendment of tho Constitution of the United
States, abolishing slavery by the South Caro-
lima Legislature. is deemed peculiarly impor-
tant and especially desirable with reference to
the general situation of the Union have
now only to say that the Presidents opinions,
before expressed, remain unchanged.
