Travelling at the Expense & of the STAT,

travelling at the Expense of the State
We understand that the Secretary of
State, who was contemplating a.visit to
Washington on private business, procured
from our nd-hearted Governor, previous
to leaving, some sort of authority to make
inquiries regarding our quotas, thereby
making the expenses Of his trip charge
able to the, State. As we have Sem
ators and Representatives in Washington
who are fully competent to attend to this
business, and as the Secretary knows moth
ing about it, and cannot change figure
by any representations he; may make, and
especially as be went mainly on private
business, we do not see why he should
travel on the Governors contingent, or any
other funds but bis own. In this connec-
ton, it may be stated that the Secretary,
as appears by the report of the State
Auditor, drew from the |" Soldiers Re
lief Fund last summer the sum Of
fo,rI hundred dollars, as 1'sAgent to the
Army Of the Potomac" As we had in
that army but two companies Of troops,
and as it does not appear that any por-
ton of this sum was. expended for their
relief the inference that it was all used for
the Secretary's travelling expenses, may
we'll be entertained, We believe this sum,
had it beenr placed in the hands Of the
brave. Capt, FARwELI, the senior officer OF

Letter from the Cmur d,Alene.
CAMP ON Trout CREEK,

June 25th, 1865
EDS. STATEsMAM:-We are thus far on our
way to the C@ur d Alene mines, and for want
of any gold news will tell you how we got hero
and what we know up to date, SO as to relieve
the minds Of many Of our mutual friends, who
when left, haq strong symptoms Of an attack
Of the gold fever.
When we left Walla Walla, we intended to
travel slow, and therefore made out TO Snake
river in two days. The next day we went to
Kentuck' s ranch on the Palouse, and learned
that the parties whom we had intended to over
take were going ahead, and travelling like ''all
possessed" Next day we rode about twenty
five miles to the creek named the "Aqua-secd"
by 1t. Mullan. but now called the "nigger's, ="
from the fact Of gentleman of the colored per-
suasion having erected bis domicile at this creek
Here we were overtaken by a man in hot haste
who was going to the Ceur d'Alene in two days
to get a claim, and take in pack train, provi-
ded circumstances would permit, Next day we
rolled out early and passed over thirty miles to
the Neal -huad-lk, now called Hangman's S creek
Here we learned that Miner had caught Wilson,
Tom Page had caught Miner and Wilson, and
we all concluded that I had better start and
catch Tom Page, Miner and Wilson, who, re-
port said were pushing on to leave the rest of
us and go into the diggings by themselves. So
I started in pursuit. and on reaching the Spo-
kane heard that Chase had left the same day
and did intend to ride through to the Mission,
r ol,
aoned did not feel inclined toward riding
seventy miles, to overtako the gold hunters, and
quietly logged along to the Lake, and thence
over to the Wolf Lodge Prairie, where, to our
surprise, we found the whole party, numbering
some fifty men. Over hundred horses were
grazing upon the small opening, and tents and
blankets dotted the bills and edges of the basin,
making scene worthy Of the pencil of an ar
tst Some of the party prospected, some scaled
the mountains and others slept around the camp
A deer came down the hills and astonished us
by trotGng within a hundr6d yards of the camp;
a revolver ball, however, sent him scamperng
back to the mountains, wondering, probably,
what that was that whisted so sharp. A pack
train passed us here bound for Bitter Root, and
a band of cattle were also seen, waiting for the
Cnur d'Alene to be opened to supply the mines
with beef Next day we went to the Mission,
l6 miles would remark, BY way ofparenthe-
els, that the Mullan road, between the Lake and
the Mission, is impossible for wagons At the
Mission we laid out town site in the mouth of.a
small ravine, and located some 26 lots in case
the Cnur d'Alene mines shouldprove rich. This
was the only location on the entire road not yet
occupied by house or notice ofscttlement, and
even this was notified upon but we located a
city, anyhow. Now we start into the mountains

PRoPosED ALLIANCE AGAINST THE UNITED
STArEs.-The London Morning Advertiser, of the
2lst of April, contains the following but no 9TH
er paper has the ''news:"
On the receipt of the news of the fall of Rich
mond Louis Napoleon proposed to Lord Cowley
that England and France should, by treaty Of
fensiye and defensive, make common cause
against the United States; that sin event of Can
ada being attacked by them, France should as
sist England with all her land and and sea for
ces, j" and that in the event of the United States
"openly or covertly attacking the Emperor Max
imilian, or in any wise endangerng his throne, +"
England should, in conjunction with France
"defend and support Macmillan in the same
manner, and on the same conditions as they sus-
tained the Sultan of Turkey against the aggres-
sion of Russia" We do not know how this very
cool overture has been received by our Govern
ment, but we know what it's emphatic answer
ought to be. On the reasssembling of Parlia-
ment, this important subject is sure to receive
immediate attention, and the idea denounced in
the strongest language, which Parliamentary
notions of propriety will allow. Still more deep
will be the indignation of the country at the
proposal, for the whole nation smarts at the re-
membrance of the manner in which Louis Napo-
leon treated our unfortunate alliance with him
in the case of the Crimean war. Were Minis
ters to entertain the idea of the proposed alli-
ance for day, it would kindle flame in the
national bosom which would be productive of
more serious effects than the overthrow of a
Cabinet.

tai streama large as Mil Greek flowing through
it. This is the Little Basin, and we find the col
or Of gold on a surface prospect. Here we di-
vide the party, and send about twenty-six men
ahead to cut trail. We have to sake trail
for about thirty miles, and at a meeting held
last night, we established the rate Of toll at one
dollar per head for ali animals which pass over
the trail. Tom Page is toll keeper, and has
twenty-five men for assistants We think that
we can thus get even on the trail.
As for the gold mines, we find that we arc out
simply as prospectors. Wilson declares that
they have yet found the color in the basin to
which we are going, although, he is confident
that we will find good diggings there but this,
so far, is all suppositon. We are to go there
anyway, and see for ourselves. The portion of
the party who remain here herding horses &C.,
will prospect this basin and see what we can find
As yet we have found nothing, and live in hopes
AS soon as we arrive in the basin will drop you
