that a number of business men of this city
contemplate establishing branch houses at
Wallula in the spring, also, that two or
more of the business men at the Dalles will
do the same thing. Among those going
from this city, we hear of two general mer-
chandise establishments, one cigar and to-
bocco store, one livery stable and one saloon,
and it is probable that several mechanic
shops will follow From this it would seem
that the next act in the building of the
Sacramento of the Upper Columbia" is to
be performed at Wallula; and for once, it
seems to us, the actors have selected some
thing like suitable stage for their per-
formance. However, we have no idea that
(" Sacramento will ever be built at Wallu-
la though with the Walla Walla and Tou-
chet valleys, not for distant, to supply it
with all kinds of produce, it cannot be de-
MED that it has greatly superior advantages
over Umatilla City as river supply point
for the mines and being situated upon a
better road, and as near to the Boise country,
as the former place it will ultimately absorb
the Trade of that "city." Besides, it has
the advantage of being nearer to all the
other mines in the upper country.
The effect upon the Walla Walla valley
of the building up of Wallula will, of course,
be beneficial. So for as our city is con-
cerned, with the very superior advantages
that surround it, in the way of local trade,
&C., it must remain in the ascendency. But
to kee itso, it will be necessary for the
merchants and business men generally to
sell their goods and wares at prices to COM
pete with the Wallula traders This, even
with the addition of freight in the cost Of
their goods, they can well afford to do, on
account Of the much less expense of living
here While the merchants here will have
to pay the addition of freight on the cost of
their goods, the traders of Wallula will have
to pay tribute to this valley and city for
their produce.

Mr.. H. BLEDsoE, Wells, Fargo & Cos
Boise messenger, gives US the following
items
The weather throughout the Boise couu-
try has been severely cold for the past two
months, and nearly all the cattle in the diff
ferent valleys not provided with food and
shelter have died from cold and starvation.
On the Oath, 25th and 26th of January
the mercury fell to % degrees below zero in
the Payette valley. A well at the Payette
Ranch, 20 feet deep, was covered with ice
2 ! inches thick on the morning of the 26th.
In the Basin and Boise valley the wealth
er was not so cold, though in the Boise val
ley the mercury was ranging from zero to
FIVE deg above; the ground had been COW
cred for seven weeks with about a foot of
snow the immigrant stock was all dying,
and the people of Boise City were giving
balls aud using other means to raise money
for the relief of destitute immigrants, among
whom there had been considerable suffering.
The officers of Boise City made an effort
to arrest George Porter; went to the house
where he was secreted, and while they were

if they have escaped freezing to death.

A man (name unknown lone of three who
shot at and attempted to rob man last fall
on the Payette, was arrested at La Grande,

BEAST BUTLER.-Benjamin Butler, bet
ter known as 'Beast Butler" recently made
a speech, in which he said:
awe can now afford to be magnanimous
We have shown our strength and demon
strated the weakness of the enemy. They
now know that our resolution to maintain
the Union is inexorabe, and that our re-
sources are nexhaustible Therefore let US,
Notwithstanding the proclamation, renew
our offer to the South to permit them to
come back into the Union as it was, with the
Constitution as it is, with no other changes
than such as have been made by the State
Legislatures"
Butler 'put his foot in it" when he made
that speech. The mere failure in one mill
tary engagement would not of itself have pro-
cured his dismissal from the service; but he
made fatal step in exhibiting willing
ness to disregard that celebrated emancipa-
ton proclamation of the Presidents, and
therefore the first military disaster that be-
fel him, whether occasioned by himself or
through the intriguing of others, was seized
upon as sufficient cause for his removal
The telegraphic dispatches have intimated
that Butler was removed, partly, to indi-
cate to the South that radical measures
would not be instituted against them nor
brutal men kept in responsible positions; but
that is not a reasonable solution, for Butler
had previously notified the public through a
speech that he was in favor of offering the
most liberal terms towards the South, "not-
withstanding the proclamation. Instead,
then, of Butler being discharged on account
of his radicalism, it looks rather as if the
contrary was true and that he was relieved
of his command because he had changed
his views of radicalism to conservatism. II
he was willing to act up to the suggestions
given in his speech, he could be set down as
a straight-out Copperhead or Democrat
1t may be urged, though, that Lincoln has
consented to the Inauguration of cOnserva-
tive policy, and that he would have no OBJ
lection to Buffers conservatism; but it must
be remembered that he acts very strangely
when "the government" is about to for
over on important questions. When Gen
erals Fremont and Hunter issued their rad
ical, negro proclamations, the President af
fected to be hOrrifed. at such policy and
from his then conservative professions, nc
one could have thought that he would soon
after issue a similar proclamation and siren
uously uphold it; but nevertheless such is
the fact And now, it is probable that Lin.
coin will soon proclaim the same views ex
pressed so recently by the Beast, and given
in the above paragraph. If Lincoln wasn't
jealous of the Beasts conservative position
and didn't desire to be considered the lead
er of his party in new conservative lead
then we miss our guess, that's all.

PRoFITABLE.-A lady acquaintance
farmers wife-informed us not long since
that she had realized seven hundred dollars
during the past year from the sale of butter,
eggs and chickens. Who will say after this
that attention to the dairy and hennery, as
incidentals of farming, can not be made prof
liable ? We have often wondered, with the
high prices that have always ruled here, that
more attention has not been paid by the
farming community to these branches of
business, and have as often thought, when
told by them that it didn't pay" that they
had never tried it, In winter, especially, it
has always been the case when eggs have
sold at 75c to 81 per dozen, that enough Of
them could not be got to supply the tom
demand and as to butter, fully three-fourths
of the amount used here in winter is in
ported from Oregon and California, and sold
at from SOC. to 81 per pound. These facts
prove that there is always market here for
these articles; that they are sold at remu-
be made profitable, the testimony of those
who say it "won't pay to the contrary not
withstanding.

KooTESAI.-A recent letter from the Gold
Commissioners of the Kootena mines to a gen.
tleman pow in this City states that he has re-
corded twenty-five mining claims that have been
located in the new diggings on the head waters
yet visited the new mines, and merely gives cur
rent reports in relation to their richness, extent
&c. If the reports are well founded the dig
gings promise to excel the Wild Horse creek
mines. The letter states that new hill dggngs
have been struck on the last mentioned creek,
prospecting from ga color to fifty cents to the
pam and that the probabilities are that an old
channel viii be found in the hill. These hill
diggings will be worked by the hydraulic pro-
cess, and the personto whom the Commission
er's letter is directed, has already sent to San
Francisco fer hose and pipes. The large ditch
which supplies these mines with water, was
badly washed out in one or two places, late in
the Fall, but will be fumed and repaired early
in the Spring.

Something New about Legal Tenders.

EDITORS WALLA WALLA STATEsMAN:-The
Constitution of the United States forbids the
States to make anything but gold and silver a
legal tender; it gives the General Government
power to regulate the currency, and this the
United States has done by making, first, gold
and silver legal tender; and, second, certain
promises TO pay legal tender, except in certain
cases The last-named species Of legal tende; ,
it will hardly be claimed by the most intense
loyalist, does not invalidate or do away with the
use of the first Gold and silver, then, is still
receivable as a legal tender, unless the creditor
desires greenbacks, which it is not likely any
body will do. Now my idea is this, that it is
competent for me to contract, specially to pay
or receive either of these legal tender curren-
cies, and to enforce the receipt or payment of
either in accordance with special agreement,
without statutory aid unless the act of making
a special contract is either declared penal fell

PLENTY OF SNOw.-Reports come from all the
mining camps that an unusual amount of snow

miners will have plenty of water to work their
diggings in the spring.

New MISEs.-A report, apparently well au-
mines have been discovered on the eastern slope
of the Blue mountains on one of the small
streams putting into Snake river. The name of
the creek on which the diggings are located is
unknown to the discoverers, but it is somewhere
in the vicinity of Looking-glass creek. 1t is
perhaps, the same region that prospectors have
been looking for for the last two or three years,
and where Indian tradition says, gold exists in
considerable quantities. The distance from
here, direct across the mountains to the region
of the reported discovery is some forty to sixty
miles. From what we can learn the diggings
are situated in small basin or depression in
and near the summit of the Blue mountains,
nearly opposite the mouth of Salmon river, and
about forty miles in a northerly direction from
the mines on Eagle creek. The direct route
to the diggings from this city, would probably
be to follow up the divide between Coppei and
Dry creeks and across the summit of the Blue
mountains to the head waters of the small
streams flowing into Snake river. The discov-
erers report that the diggings are apparently ex-
tensive and promise good pay; but lis only
within the past five or six weeks that the mines
were discovered, and, of course, prospecting has
been somewhat limited, owing to the cold
weather and great depth of snow upon the noun

EXPLORING PARTY.-An exploring party will
leave Walla Walla in the Spring, headed by Mr.
Joseph Gale, for the purpose of exploring and
prospecting for gold in the vicinity of the Grey
Bull river, in the Wind River Mountains
Mr.. Gale, now a resident of this valley, is an
cold mountaineer," about fifty years of age. He
came to this country at the age of twenty-five,
and being well educated, and young man of
rare intelligence, soon became very popular
among the mountain men of those early days,
and for years he held important positions in the
employ of both the Hudsons Bay and American
Fur Companies. He hunted and trapped for
fourteen years with Kit Carson, Jim Bridger,
and others, in the Wind River Mountains, and on
the head-waters ofthe Yellowstone and Missouri
rivers and during that time he was with them
in many hard-fOught battle with the Blackfeet
and Grow Indians. To him every mountain
peak and stream in that romantic countryis per-
fectly familiar. Although past the middle age,
his constitution is unimpaired and his eye as
bright as ever.

It is frequently asserted that the political
preaching of the day is causing rapid increase
in infdelity. That this is true to considera-
BILE extent, there is sufficient evidence to be-
Heve. When people go to church, they expect
TO hear the Gospel preached-not politics; and
when political affairs are discussed some per-
sons are sure to be offended and will leave the
church in disgust-either TO attend divine SER
vice in some other church or to stay away alto
gether. A correspondent of the Marysville Ex-
press, writing from Red Bluff, upon this subject,
says; ''We have had to listen to politics and
free-negroism so long that many of our best citi-
Eens have entirely quit attending church" In
view of these facts, it is remarkable that minis
ters do not see the evil effects growing out of
their political preaching, and stop it. We think
they would make no illusions to politics in their
sermons ifthey fully understood how much in
this way they are sowing the seeds of discord
and thinning out their congregations.

The Marysville Express, of late date, says
that there Is programme on foot in California

overthrow Of the Specific Contract Law of that
State, and the adoption Of the greenback cur
rency. The Federal oficehoIders are compelled
TO take their pay in currency, at some fifty per
cent discount, while all ordinary business trans
actions are effected on gold basis, and they
hope TO mend matters in some shape or other by
getting the contract law repealed. Many of the
6fics-holdng patriots have resigned, in conse-
quence of not being as well paid as they ex-
pectcd.

THE CHINOOK WMD.-After four weeks of
frosty weather, with the snow lying contnu-
ously on the ground, the Chinook wind has come
and broken the backbone of winter. Our eli
mate is peculiar, The glare of the sun at noon
day scarcely disperses the frosts of night, but
the warm Chinook wind melts it like July sun.
This wind is the most pleasing feature of the
climate, and reverses the old fable of the Sun
and Wind Without it, this part Of the coun-
try would be scarcely habftable with it, we
have milder climate than southern Illinois.
RE-APPoINTED.-Gen. Fremont, it is said, is to
be re-appointed Major General in the army
This is much better than being defeated for the
Presidency, which he avoided by a most mas
terly retreat from the political field. This looks
something like trade, if we did not know that
''the government" never does such things.
