The best time made over the Walla Walla
Course, duriuE the late races, was run by the
trim little stallion, Dasher-makiug single
mile in 1881 This is the best time ever made
over this track. This time will appear slow to
those not acquainted with the track-which is
regarded heavy by the sporting fraternity, and
Dasher's owner claims that it is "eight seconds
slower than the Portland Course" which is al
so dubbed "heayy." Deducting eight seconds
from Dsshsr's time sends him around the mile
in 1.441. That is very good running, but we
don't know whether it is a fair estimate or not.
Dasher's owner can pick his track and Bet on
making this time if be likes; but being out Of
the "ring" ourselves, we're not ION it,"

The Great Frederick,

The following is the address OF Frederick
the Great to tie Generals and higher officers,
December 4, 175z, before the battle uear Lau-
then: ,\
sGentlemcn, you are aware that while I was
obliged to stop the progress of the French and
Austrians Prince Charles, Of Lothringcn, bas
succeeded in. taking Senwclridtz, beating the
Duke of Bavaria, and ID making himself mas
ter-of Breslau; the capital of my Silesa, and a
part of the province, are thus lost together
with all the provisions and ammunition therein
contained, and my troubles would be very
great, if 1 placed not an unbonnded confidence
in your courage, frrnness and Ioysl of your
country, which you have shown on so lnany
'oecasions.s -.
acknowledge these services rendered to our
fatherland, and to me, with the tenderest emo
tions Of my heart. = y
There is almost not one among you who has
not distinguished himself by some great and
honorable deed; therefore, l -tlatter myself
you will fall short in nothing which the State
has right to expect Of your valor, if circum-
stances demand it. This epoch approaches.

Austrians in possession of Silesia; mark, there
fore, I shall attack the army Of Prince Charles
although nearly three times stronger, where
ever I iod it, and in opposition to all the rules
of the art t'of war. -, -
Al this juncture; the number Of the ehemy
is not the question, nor the importance of bis
position; for all,this, I. hope the strong hearts
Of my army; and: the exact obedience to
my orders, will overcome, 1 must venture this
blow, or everything is lost; we must annihilate
the enemy, or his batteries will bury US. Thus
I intend to act. Communicate my orders to
all the officers in the army, and prepare the
priyates TO-. the work which must soon follow
Informing them that l condsider myself en-
titled to unconditional discipline
However, if you remember that you are,
Prussians, you.wil certainly make yourselves
worthy Of this. preference. If there should be
oneamong you who fears to divide with me all
the danger, he can obtain his dismission to
day, and without receiving from me tho least
reproach. I'VE follow your Majesty unto
death! Our. all and our blood for: our King!

proceeds:
Before now, I was convinced that none of
You would forsake me. I count, therefore, to.

Condition of our CITY Ranka.

We have before us the official figures for the
banks of this city, showing how they stood on
the last day of October, and we find they do
not justify the very common opinion that the
city and State are flooded with over-ssues.-
The banking capital of the city is $2,700,O00.-
The banks are authorized by law to issue 3d.
245,O00. AT that time the aggregate issue was
only about half million above this sum, in
Guiding both national and local currency. 5000
OF this amount less than one million was in
national currency, and yet lis presumed about
all of this currency received by the banks
had been put in circulation. The truth is, the
banks have not been able to procure the
amount of national bills to which they are en-
titled. Not one of them, we think, has received
its full quota. One national bank, authorized
to issue nearly 100000, reports less than $780,
900 national circulation, and this simply be-
cause of inability to procure the bills.
Now will any man pretend that the 81 $780,
900 of local, bills put in circulation by the
banks of Portland, can be withdrawn and not
replaced by others, without vast and irremedi-
able injury to the business ofthe city? Those
who take this ground, it seems to us, argue
from and to support a Ae0ry, a nd not from
practical facts. .....,4...,
One thing more. The bank referred to by
our correspondent "E. Il. 7. p in this paper, as
having in circulation 100000 of State bills,
contracted that amount about seven per cent.
the first month after that issue was shown, and
is now using every effort, consistent with very
limited Accommodations to the business de-
mands of the city, to withdraw it altos ether,
and the first of January will exhibit state
ment, no doubt, that will be more gratifying to
its officers, and the opponents of bank issues,
than to the business men who necessarily find
their Accommodations very much curtailed.

Portland Freedmen's Aid Association,

The meeting last evening at City Hall, of
the Portland Freedmen's Aid Association, was
one OF the most interesting which has been
heid In this city. There was large attend
ance, and the greatest interest was manifested
in all the proceedings. r5-,.-
The meeting was called to order by Judge
Davis, President of the Association, and the
exercises were opened with an impressive
prayer by Rev. DR.. Stockbridge, Pastor of the
Free Street Baptist Church. The audience
then Joined in singing America led by Mr..
I'll. G. Lowell, after which, Judge Davis made a
few pertinent remarks, in which he said that
in the work of reconstruction, reconstruc-
ton OF Southern Society, ITSELF was needed
and the best way to effect this was to educate
the four millions of Freedmen in the South
1t was for this purpose an appeal was made to
the public.
The President then introduced Rev. DR..
Carruthers, ofthe I'd Parish Church, who spoke
for some twenty minutes. He was followed
by Rev. Mr.. Dalton, of. St. Stephens Church,
who occupied about fifteen minutes. Rev.
DIR. Graham, of Casco Street Church, followed
IN speech OF about fifteen minutes, and Rev.
e. f. Allen, of Chestnut Street M. E. Church,
succeeded him, speaking about twenty min
utes.
The hymn by John G. Whittier, entitled
"Old and New" published in our columns,
yesterday, was then sung by the audience to
the tune of Bridgewater. g'e s7e 80 . tssi4
| Then followed brief addresses from Rev. Mr..
Bodies, of the Congress Square Universalist
Church; Rev. Mr.. Hewes, of Park Street
Church, and Rev. Mr.. Walton, of the Sd Par
ish Church. The exercises were closed with
"Be thou, o God, exalted high, sung to the
tune of Old Hundred, by the audience.
Notwithstanding the protractedness of the
meeting the audience sat quietly, listening
with interest to the remarks of the several
speakers, and occasionally giving vent to their
applause. We have copious notes of the sew
eral addresses made, but, at this late hour
should not know where to stop did we begin
to use them; and we. would not give synop-
sis of one without doing the same to all the
others, which our limits at this time will not
allow. Suffice it to say that it was one of the
most pleasant affairs that has taken place in
this city. Clergymen of every denomination
came upon the platform, each one expressing
the greatest interest for the cause of the Freed
men, and each one coming out in the strongest
terms for granting him the right of suffrage
There was not the slightest hesitation upon
this point by any one Of the speakers, but all
came square up to the mark, and insisted
upon this right being granted the negro as
well as the white man. 4a = 3 g 'a
The meeting was well calculated to advance
the cause for which the Association is labor
ing; and its good effects will be seen hereafter
1t will encourage the members OF the Associa-
ton to press forward in their righteous cause
for justice to the enfranchised slave.
