sneech of President Johnson.

Washington, April 23.-Presdent Johnson's
speech to the Indiana delegation was more i'm
portant than any yet delivered The President
said: We are living at time when the public
mind has almost become obiyious ofwhat treas
on is. The time has arrived when the American
people should be educated and taught that treas
on against the United States Government is the
highest crime that can be committed, and that
those engaged in it should suffer all of its penal
ties. 1t is not promulgation of anything that
l have not heretofore said to say that treason
must be made odious; that traitors must be pun
ished and imprisoned and their social power
destroyed, If not, they will still maintain the
ascendancy and may again become powerful and
numerous For in words of form
er Senators of the United States, when traitors
become numerous enough, treason becomes res
pectable, and say, after making treason odous
every Union man should be remunerated out of
the pockets of those who infict the greatest suf-
fering upon the country, while say to leaders
of treason, punishment. l also say leniency and
conciliatOn to thousands whom they have mis-
led and deceived In speaking of reconstruc-
tion be made the following remarks upon the
idea of destroying States: My position hes been
well known, and have no cause to change IT
now some are sued with an idea that States
@ n@'e ios' =. territorial and other divisions, and
- to lose their character as States; but their
iite's breath has only been suspended, and it is
my high constitutional obligation, to secure and
to give to each of these States the possession
and enjoyment ofa republican form of Govern
ment. A State may be in the Government
with a peculiar institution and }y operations
OF rebellion have lost that feature, but it was
State when it went into rebellion and when it
comes out without that institution, it is still
State. ! hold it as solemn obligation, any
of these States, where the rebel army have been
beaten book or expelled, care not how small
l TT,,sI 81
ship of State, to hold it, l say high duty to
protect and secure to them a republican form of
government. This is no mere opinion, it is ex-
pressed in conformity with my understanding
ofand theory of our Government in adjusting and
putting them upon their legs again. | think the
progress of the work must pass into the immedi-
ate hands of its friends. If State needs nurs-
ing until it gains strength, it must be nursed by
its friends, not smothered by its enemies. Now
permit me to remark that while l have opposed
dissolution and disntegration on the one hand,
on the other, am equally opposed to centrali-
zation of power.

United States, by the assassin's hand was a di-
rect blow, not only at the head of the Nation,
but at each individual citizen He who was Sc
lected by the people to rule over them has been
stricken down in the faithful performance of his
weighty trust What so greyous dispensation
OF the Almighty may portend we finite creatures
may little divine, but may hope that the Great
Giyer of all good hath yet much in store for us,
and it is meet and proper we should wait upon
Him; that we should.publicly acknowledge HIS
almighty power, recognize His Omniscent wis
dom, and express our firm reliance upon His
omnipresent providence. In view of these du-
ties at such period, and as fitting testimonials
that we sincerely join in the general grief which
pervades the Nation at this dire National calam-
ity, Elwood Evans, Acting Governor of the
Territory of Washington, have set apart Thurs
day, the l1th day of May, 1865, as day Of hu-
initiation and prayer and earnestly invoke its

said, "tbe South has not been, and is not yet
prepared to beg for terms, but is ready to accept
any honorable terms" AS to slavery, he said,

remained several hours. The services of
Surgeon Steinberger were at once had, when

of severe nature had been inflicted upon

The "oregonian" expresses fears that there
will be an attempt made to foist the Confederate
debt upon the United States, as means to har-
monize the country at the end of the war. 1t is
very clear that it would suit the masses of
the people to st" if the whole debt could be
foisted upon the bond-holders and spectators
For our part the debt couldn't possibly be made
so small as to render it unpleasant. The smaller
the debt the less will bethe tax burtben. 10 il

MINERS GUIDE.-Capt John Mullan,
who returned week before last from trip to
the East, has published book entitled the
Miners and Travellers Guide to Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana and
Colorado, Uia the Missouri and Columbia
rivers. 1t is made up mainly from Captain
Mullan's personal knowledge of the country
and is the best work of the kind that we
have seen. 1t is accompanied by a general
map of the mineral region of the northern
sections of the Rocky Mountains, and con-
tains fund of valuable information for mi
ners and travellers, as well as to all wishin g
to inform themselves in regard to the geog-
raphy and resources of the regions named.
Copies of the book are on sale at the Post
Office book store.

No CoNNECTIoN.- Owing to the high
waters in the Grand Ronde valley the Boise
stages are unable to make a connection on
either of the routes. The waters, it is
thought will rccede so as to leave the roads
in a tolerable condition within ten days.
The bulk of the snow has already disap-
peared from the Blue mountains.

The Boise Stage Company have built a
ferry boat for the purpose of ferrying their
stages across the Grand Ronde valley. We
are told that about FIVE miles of the road is
now in condition for boating, and if the wa

able to navigate from one end of the valley
to the other.

FEooD IN GRAND RoNDE.-From Mr..
Edgar, of Wells, Fargo & Cos Boise Ex-
press, we learn that about five miles of the
stage road in the Grand Ronde valley is so
overhown that the stages cannot connect
This is the case also on the Umatilla route.
Mr.. Edgar, in coming through with the cx-
press, was compelled to travel through the
water for about the above distance, using
all kinds of conveyances-boats, wagons,
hand sleds and pack animals-to get his ex-
press through. In some, places the valley
presents the appearance of vast lake. Ma
ny of the farms are completely inundated,
and the settlers have been compelled to
move out on the highlands. Crops of wheat
and oats sown last fall and this spring were
three feet under water, and of course entire
ruined The water was still rising when
Mr. Edgar came through and the prospect
was that the greater portion of the valley
would be inundated
Mr.. Edgar also says that the waters in
Boise Basin, and Payette and Boise valleys
are very high. The bridges have near
ly all been swept away, and the roads are in
an almost impossible condition. The
weather was very mild in the Basin and the
snow was fast going off. Considerable dam
age was anticipated in the mines, from the
washing away of fumes, ditches, &c.
