USASrNOus.-A distinguished army officer who
went all through the war for the Union-now on
this coast-informS us that the leading officers
OF the army arsunit in sustaining the Presidents
policy This is only what was to be expected.
Having perillsd their lives in putting down the
armed enemies Of the Union, 1t would be strange
indeed if they were now found consorting with
its enemies. We trust the country may be spared
the trial, but should it become necessary we
nave the assurance that Grant at the head Of
his 4egions will drive the traitors from the Cap,
itol with quite as little ceremony as be used in
driving armed rebels out of Richmond. Between
the head Of the State and 4he head of the army
there is the most perfect accord, and from this
unity Of purpose the country has every thing to
hope.

the rate is from to II cents. Just now the

it will centre at wallula. The attempt to. hmm,

TIE LEWISTON AND MoxTANA RoAD.-A cor
respondent Of the Montana POst learns from Ma
1or Owen that the exploring party, sent out by
the Secretary Of the Interior, numbering twenty
ty-hVe men, under charge of Mr.. Bird, assisted
BY Col. Craig and Major Truax, with a complete
corps of scientific gentlemen, reached his Fort
on the llth of July. This is the company sent
out to make a survey of a new road from Lewis
ton to Virginia, for which purpose Congress, in
the spring OF 1865, appropriated the Insignificant
sum of ffty thousand dollars. They went via
the Lolo fork, and report the route as being Of a
practicable character. The correspondent adds
" Whatever succeeded in getting the appropria-
ton had some ax-grinding to do, or the improve
ment Of the MullAn road would have been car
ried out instead, which would have been of in
finite more value to Montana"

From BIG BEND.-Our old and esteemed friend ,
l. Kaufman, Esq, formerly of the Dalles, arrived
at WallA walla on Monday last, direct from the
Big Bend country. Mr.. K. brought with him
some SEC, 900 in treasure, mostly taken from the
Big Bend mines. In the lot was a specimen
which in size and appearance bore a marked
resemblance to q lamp reflector. The back Of
the specimen was of rough quartz, whilst the
face shone with the splendor of FURNISHED gold.
1t weighed $253, but Mr. X. said $500 would not
buy it. The report from the mines is favorable,
and this Notwithstanding the miners have had to
contend against late season and unusually high
water. The water had subsidized and the miners
were getting fairly to work. The mines are what
is known as "deeP diggings." In some instances
the miners had to go down so and 60 feet before
reaching the pay dirt. In this respect, as also
in the appearance of the gold, the mines greatly
resemble those of Carrbo. Those who have got
to work in their claims are taking out large
sums and are well satisfied with the prospect
1t is now reduced to a certainty that Big Bend
will be q permanent mining camp, and that from
that quarter we are to draw goodly portion oi
our gold crop. The steamer Forty-Nine, Capt
Len. White, ia making regular trips between
Little Dalles and Death Rapids, and under her
present management is becoming eminently pop,

herself, and should nothing untoward happen
she promises to prove fortune for her owners

THE SEA.

The sea the sea the beautiful sea,
With thy white-crested wavehajestc and free,
Sporting with winds and hurting thy spray,
Rowing in beauty from day to day,
Restless thy pillows, so proudly they roll,
Rolling in grandeur from pole TO pole.
Murmnring and wailiHg, gliding along,
How thrilling to hear thy wondrous song.
Broad is thy course and mighty thy sway,
Like monster tossing his urchin in play
The vessels rise on thy heaving breast,
And plunge again in thy hollow crest.
Playfully tossing thy victims on high
Where naught but thy waves and the beautiful
sky
The wandering mariners eye can see
How mighty art thou, mystic sea
How beauteous is the calm still sea,
Floating so soft and carelessly,
Calm meath the moonbeam's silyery light,
And the star-decked blue of the cloudess night.
Unfurrowed now is thy waveless breast
Sleeping like warrior taking his rest
Unmoved by the martial thunderstorm,
How innocent seems thy mighty form
Great Ocean, who taught thee thy bounds to
know,
And caused thee to rest so pensive and low?
All twas that God who once walked upon
thee,
And spake to thy pillows, obedient sea.
When thy waters dashed their foam, and thy
troubled deep
Heaved madly the bark where Christ lay asleep,
He arose and spake TO thy heaving breast,
And his musical whispers lulled thee to rest.
Mysterious sea, undiscovered profound,
Thy sacred depths with treasures abound
Loved ones lay low meath thy fathomless
man,
But ere earth is dissolved thou shalt yield
them again.
Unconquered, unmoved, by the lapse of time,
laundering thine anthem, exultant sublime,
Mocking the wrecks that time hath made,
Aged and defiant sea- thou too shalt fade.
Yes, thou shalt fade and tly shell-formed isles
Will reflect no more the moonbeams smiles
flushed be thy voice, thy proud waves shall
stay,
When the starry heavens shall roll away.
Thou shalt utter thy last expiring groan,
When thy storm-riven rocks from thy depths
have flown,
When earth wrapped in flames consuming
shall be,
Thou shalt wall thy last requiem, beautiful
sea.
Oh, the sea the sea the heavenly sea,
Floating in deathless climes for me,
Rejecting thy glorious light from one,
Brighter by far than the mondays sun;
Thine never declines from the tadeless day,
No pale orbed moon in solemn array,
Feeble with radiance guards the night,
God, the Eternal San, is the light.
Q, shall behold the heavenly sea,
When earth's stormy ocean shall cease to be;
When | shall depart from lime S wasted shore,
And all that hath been shall be no more,
With the saints robed in white to my home
shall flee,
And battle my soul in the jasper sea.

Negro Education.

Mr.. Greedy was present not long ago
at an examination of the pupils of the
philosophical Institute for Colored
YOUTH and is in quite state of aston
ishment and admiration that boys between
tho ages of twelve and nineteen under
went an examination in classics and math-
ematlos, and showed that they understood
their lessons. The same thing is SO COM
mon and universal among white children
that nobody feels called upon to have a
sensation about it. We have never heard
it disputed, except by some crack Drained
philosopher, that negroes belonged to the
human race, and were therefore capable
of learning languages and figures. The
wonder is, however, that they have
never, from the earliest ages, produced
my great master in any art or science,
and that, after nearly half century of
freedom and education at the North, we
are called upon to 60 into raptures at some
of them learning, what all white boys of
the same age, who are not born asses, are
expected to learn as a matter of course
This perpetual thrusting Of the negro
upon US on all possible and impossible &C.
casions is becoming very great BORE
