FnOM WALLA WALLA.

+ EDlToR WORLD Richmond is taken proba-
bly, for the last time, and the people of this
valley are revelng in the enjoyment of most
beautiful weather. The farmers who had
falmost despaired of season of Spring this
year, are now busily employed in putting in
grain. ALL is life and activity pack trains
and teams are actively loading with the laud-
able object of saving you poor Boiseites from
starvation, and the stages from Wallula come
in daily crowded with passengers on their
way to various mining localities of the Upper
country; and while it is conceded that there
are good dggings in Orc Fino, Elk City,

THE YUBA DIsTRIcT.-A friend at Rocky
Bar, who is well posted in the affairs of ad-
jacent localities, writes to US of the Yuba
country. He says.
"The Yuba fever still keeps mp for quartz,
and quartz claims, and nothing is as yet
really known Of that country, except that
some, and perhaps most of the claims opened
last year pay fair wages, but they are hard to
work and, are not suitable for poor men, who
have neither money, provisions nor credit Tin
Rocky Bar language, "jaw-bone ~ to go
upon T; and, as for the quartz, although some
quartz (said to have come from there) is re-
ported rich by assayers, yet the quartz lodges
were discovered so late in the season that it
has not been possible in this fearfully severe
winter to thoroughly prospect them Quartz.
Swans, however, say it is genuine, good
looking quartz, and that the lodges as far as
prospected, are universally rich and well de-
fined. Little, however will be known of the
extreme richness of this and adjoining camps
until another season has given US opportuni-
ties of working the mills now here, and ON
the way hither. The true reason why this
camp is SO far behind Owyhee, is not because
the rock is inferior in quality, but because it
was first discovered and prospected by poor
men, and until August last we had no wagon
road into the mines. Moreover, Owyhee
quickly got capitalists into its lodges, but
here it. has not been SO until lately; and
Owyhee was easier of access from towns on
the Columbia river than this. het this place

From Washington.

New YORK, Sept. 26.-A special to the
Times from Washington says: The rush OF
pardon seekers to-day was not so great as
usual. Among those who have for weeks
daily sought personal audiencei with the
President to press their applications, is L.
Pope Walker, the first Secretary of-War OF
the Confederacy, who sent the famous order
from Montgomery, Ala, to Gen. Beaure-
gard, at Charleston, "Open fire on Fort
Sumter" He is still waiting, and he is like
ly to do so.
1t is doubtful if the President will make
the contemplated excursion South.
Among the Southern mail routes ordered
to be resumed to-day, was the route from
Austin to San Antonio, Texas, and from
Jonesboro, to Fayetteville, Ga. ..
Secretary Stanton resumed his official
duties at the War Department this morn
ing. t.g...g.. ....... .,..
The receipts of the internal revenue to-
day were $l,00092099. Collector King and
Surveyor Wakeman,- of New York, are here
working industriously together for the pur-
pose of reducing the expenses OF collecting
revenue, and have already made cansidera-
BILE reduction that way in dispensing with
the clerical and other help in their depart
ments. Great abuses that have long been
tolerated will also be broken up.
Secretary Harlan left here yesterday for
Iowa, where he expects to remain for two
weeks. During his absence Judge Otto,
Assistant Secretary, will discharge the du-
ties eff the office.

Exciting Debate I'm the Alabama
Convention.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The Tines special,
dated Montgomery, Ala, Sept 25th, says
There has been great excitement in the
Convention to. day, and spirited speeches
between straightout Union men on one side,
and conservatives and secessionists on the
other, on the subject of secession, OCCASION
ed by the two reports. The'majority re-
port declared the so-called ordinance of
secession to have been wholly unauthorized,
and that it was and is null and void, and
the minority report was laid on the table
by vote of 6S to 26. The minority party
then amended by calling the act
of secession extra constitutional, which
was carried by vote of 5S to 36. The ma
jority report party subsequently, viewed
this as the springing of a new mine on them
by the minority party, and an exciting dis
cussion took place. when the amendment
was withdrawn. The majority party then
offered an amendment declaring the ordin-
ance of secession unconstitutional, which
was voted down by a majority of So to 36.
The majority report, as originally reported,
was then adopted by unanimous vote of
92, and the ordinance of secession was de-
clared null and void.

lion of Free dmen's Societies.

New YORK, Sept. 26-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: The COM
binations for the Speakership are already
forming. Mr.. Colfax leads with formidable
spontaniety. Mr.. Ashley, of Ohio, has
many earnest friends. Green Clay Smith,
of Kentucky, is urged with influential per-
tinency, while the advocates of Henry j..
Raymond are the most zealously operative.
They boast of their ability tv swallow all
lesser candidates, and one over confident
boasted that they were In possession Of the
proper argument and in sufficient quantity
to insure an ultimate triumph.
Gov. Lyon, of Idaho, who has been de-
tanned here to receive instructions in regard
to certain treaties he is authorized to make
with the Indians of his superintendecy,
leaves for his seat of government to-mor-
row.
The leading Freedmen's Aid Societies
East and West have recently consolidated
under the tile of the American Freed
mems Aid Commission, and will hereafter
operate as single organization. This
step has met with the cordial approval of
the Freetmen's Bureau, and Secretary
will be located in this city, who will be in
constant communication with the Bureau,
and through whom all communications from
local organizations and branch societies
may be brought to the attention of the
proper officers OF the Government, or of the
proper agents of the Commission in the
States. The gentleman assigned to the Of
flee is Mr.. Jacob l.. Shepherd, late Secre-
tary of the North western Freedmen's
Aid Commission at Chicago. Mr.. Shepherd
is now here arranging for opening an of

President of the new Commission.

A Cottou speculators' Scheme
FOiled.

New YORK, Sept. 26.-The Tribunes
special says: ..-
Some time since petition was sent to
the President from New Orleans, repre-
senting that it was impossible to distinguish
Confederate from other cotton, and that the
attempt to enforce the rights of the Gov
ernment under the confiscation act was
causing much mischievous delay, vexation
and loss to legitimate commerce. The pc
titioner prayed for the abandonment of
this policy, and that cotton be admitted
subject to tax of from ten to twenty per
cent, or such sum as should be deemed
sufficient to cover the claims Of the Govern
ment. Some fifty or sixty of the oldest
cotton factory houses of New Orleans have
just sent the President memorial, which
states that no such difficulty exists; that
Confederate cotton may be distinguished
from that owned by private parties, and
they protest against the system proposed
above, as a contrivance tor the benefit of
irregular speculations. These factors have
large claims upon planters tor advances
made before the war. 1t is supposed the
spectators sometimes get hold of cotton
belonging to these factors, and they natur-
ally desire to drive the newcomers of, and
1t is also suggested they may claim owner
ship under the laws of Louisiana, and even
as against the United States and the con-
| fiscation act.

The Wirtz Trial.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-The WirtZ Mill
tary Comission reassembled to-day. Sew
eral additional witnesses were examined
for the Government.
DIR. VIM. Marsh testified he had been en-
ployed as an agent of the Sanitary Com
mission for the States of Georgia, Florida
and the Carolinas, from January, 1862, until
the close of the rebellion. Witness sent
from Beaufort large supplies of clothing,
such as shirts, drawers, pantaloons and hats,
and also crackers, condensed milk, coffee,
tea and other articles of food. The arrange
ment for sending the relief to prisoners was
made with Gen. Sam. Jones, according to
which the goods were passed over to the
agent of the Confederate Government at
Charleston. 1t was known in June, 1864,
that there was suffering at Andersonville,
as escaped prisoners gave the information.
Witness had no evidence that the goods
were received by the prisoners. In No
vember, an order was received from Wash
ington not to send the prisoners any more
supplies.
Cross-examined: After the goods passed
from the Sanitary Commission they went
into the hands of the Confederate agents

CITY ITEMS.
Card.

Card.
Feeling very grateful to the citizens of
Columbus for the very liberal patronage
they have bestowed upon me in the ice busi-
ness for some years past, consider 1t due
them that should offer an apology for my
apparent failure to have on hand sutfi-
cient supply CT my own ice for the present
season.
This results simply from the fact that we
have had an unusually extended season of
warm, rainy and damp weather, during
which, 1t is well known among ice dealers,
that Ice wastes away in the ice houses and
elsewhere, much faster than in dry, hot
weather, and then takes more than the Or
dinary quantity to supply the consumer.
l put up last winter at least 400 tons
more than ever had before for any one
season, besides making arrangements with
house at SanduskY to furnish me in case
ofa deficiency with the required amount.
Ny stock running short about three
weeks ago, this Sandusky house, after fur
nishing me few days, disappointed me
without giving sufficient notice to obtain
ice elsewhere, in time to prevent disap-
pointing some of my customers. L was
then Immediately compelled to 60 farther
North and import large amount from the
Canada shore.
found there that this lack of ice is not
only local, but is general throughout the
country, and the demand for it is very great
at greatly advanced prices from all Sec
tions.
succeeded, however, in obtaining, as l
think, sufficient supply for the remainder
of the season at enormous expense, and am
now ready to meet the demand here at
prices in proportion; and If any of those
who have heretofore favored me with their
patronage have not been furnished lately,
they will oblige me by leaving their orders
at the Jewelry Store of F. A. e L. Les
quereux, where they will receive prompt
attention. d.. . .... .......
1t is proper to assure the public that
have completed arrangements to erect an
| immense ice house, in addition to those
already have, with which, hope to be able
to prevent such contingency from evel
again happening to them or myself.
l believe have done everything that
could to accommodate and give satisfaction
and hope my customers will see that this
scarcity and consequent increase Of price il
not attributable to the ice dealers here, bu
results from circumstances against which
no human foresight could guard.
Respectfully, FREDERICK JAEGER.

"Ordered, that in all cases where par
dons have been granted and where the am
