THE SPRING TRADE.-Business of all
kinds has been perceptibly reviving during
the week. The presence Of an unusual
number of people from the country in town
every day of the week, and the loading Of
the pack trains for Kootenai and Boise, to-
gether with the excitement and preparation
incident to the departure of several small
parties for the different mining camps, has
given to our city something of the appear
ance of the usual business activity that
oharacterizes it in spring. By next week
the boats will probably be running to Wal
lula, and the full tide of the spring business
will then begin.

=
E'dfitorI Intelkgenesr
The mouotony of our camp life was great
lY enlivened, on last evening, by a very
pleasant littls Incident iu the pres entation
of q beautiful sword, sash aud belt, to Lt
Col. A'Gee, of the Sd West Va. Cavalry.
The interest of the occasion was much
enhanced from the fact of its being a per-
feet surprise. The officers marched iu a
body to the Ooloners quarters, where COM
mittee, appointed fer the occasion, called
him out and addressed him in few ear
nest words of confidence and respect; to
which the Colonel responded in beautiful
little speech, characterized alike for it's
modesty and brevity, after which all re-
paired to their quarters in high good
humor.
By the way, the Colonel, who is West
Virgiuian, entered the ranks early in the
rebellion, and has seen much service du-
ring the war, always proving himself equal
to the occasion.
He was Chief of Staff to Gen. Milroy,
and the country is much indebted to his
SKILL tact and energy, that the General
succeeded in getting his army out of the
meshes of the enemy so safely.
Special permission has been granted by
the War Department to recruit the Cors
regiment, and l understand that ne starts

n.ssh sr fine Duke de- Moray.

The Duke de Morny whose death is reported by
tho adyices of the Australasian, was born at Pans
the I'D Of October, 1911. His family and parent
ago are matters Of conjecture, though he is gen.
orally understood to be the iegitimate child OF
Queen Hortense, tho mother OF Louis Napoleon
and thus half brother Of the Emperor. Ills pro-
cocious intelligence caused Talleyrsnd on one oc-
casion to say, "Ths little gentleman will be
minister some day" In 1892, VI. dc Morny re-
ceiveda commission in the first regiment Of lancers

Duke of Orleans and under the command Of Gen.
Chaugarnier, took part in the campaign OF Mos

ing from the Army IN 1893, and being possessed OF
independent means, he devoted himself to indus
trial and economical questions, buying large

root. In 1912 he was returned to the Chamber of
Deputies by the electors Of Puy-de-Dome. After
the revolution of 1913 he at first kept alooffrom pol

suERuAN,s PROGREss.

The Rebel report OF an engagement between
Sherman and Johnston At Bentonvllc affords
convenient occasion Of remarking upon the
popular l;Jlacy about the movement OF great
armies. There has been no action OF any I'M
portance. Some small portion of the forces on
either side are oil that can have been engaged. A
great army traversing an enemy's country is not
20 be looked upon as a unit. 1t does not move III
single column. 1t cannot be contained in an
ordinary iive-acrc lot. One road does not SUI
ice ior its travel. II is vast multitude,
spreading over perhaps thirty miles OF country
in breadth, advancing upon many roads and
upon no roads, and frequently 10 50 disposed That
one half of il might fight and win great battle
before The other half knew that shot had been
fired. 30 that when We hear Of SHERMAN
being here or there, and OF an engage
ment between sherman and Johnston we shall
do well to remember that it is likely to mean
some ineonsiderable affair between the heads Of
different columns. There will be no general
battle between the armies of the Union and the
Rebellion till some point has been reached
whcrcon there has been time and is space to
concentrate forces for decisive struggle.
Bentonyille, the reported site of the late
shirmish. is an unimportant place on the road
from Fayetteville to Goldsborough, in Johnston
Comfy. NC. Tho Rebel dispatch ms tele'
graphed to us has no signature, but being dated
Headquarters Armies Confederate States Is
presumably from Lee, and is therefore to a
certain extent an imposture. To say that
"Gen. J. l.. Johnston attacked the enemy is
20 convey q notion Of great battle, which the
tenor of the whole dispatch contradicts. But
LIE has taken lately to reporting sklrlnisieS a
GENERAL engagements, and we need not b, sur
prised at 'his.
Tie significance Of the news. so far a. I can
be credited at all, is merely that Gen. Sharman 5
advance from Fayetteville was less rapid than
has been supposed. If any part OF his army
was at Bentonyille on Sunday, then t is clear
! he had not reached Godsborough, twenty miles
further northeast, on the same day, and the re-
cent dispatches importing the capture OF that
town are maniiestly premature.
Wal.Street was favored with large variety
OF reports yesterday, including defeat of John
ston in the vicinity Of Raleigh, and movement
in force by Gen. Grant. Patience, gentlemen
These events will occnr in due time. 1t is not
worth while to anticipate the successes which
this campaign is to bring forth. The National
armies are advancing with unparalleled "a
pidity, and with an assurance of success such
as hitherto the most sanguine could not have
hoped. Patience The need of patience will
not be long.

DEFEAT or TIKI CENTRAL PARE
BILL.

The vote Of our State Senate on Wednesday,
defeating the bill removing tho present restrc.
ton on the fare Of passengers conveyed over
tho Central Railroad, may, We trust be accepted
as conclusive. Every Senator was present and
voted; there was but one speech made, and
that in favor Of the bill; yet it was rejected by
the decisive majority Of 10 TO l3--only three
Senators Of the Union party voting with all the
Opposition on tho minority, and one Of the
three (Mr. Connolly voting in the majority 70
lay on the table the motion TO reconsider the
defeat of the measure. Thus, Messrs. Angel
and Munger-the two Unionists who had aided
to rcpor. the bill, were-by coincidence as
singular as any observed by Sam Weller-the
only two Unionists left standing with all the
Opposition in support Of the measure.
No speech, no appeal, was made on the side
which prevailed-Mr. Wilkes Angel (Unionist, }
who had reported the bill, alone discussing the
measure, and no on tho side Of the minority.
The grounds wherein tho measure was urged
and justified having thus been set forth and con.
sidered, the Senate was ready to vote, and the
result WAS most decisive. We trust that the
subject il disposed of for tho Session.
Let no one ssy that tho Senate has eyipced
