The save-all-we-can-get Convention.

We remember to have seen, in our youth, a
grim wood cut of General PUTNAM, seated on
a corpulent key marked powder" to which
that stout old rebel was inviting British
officer
As the story runs, the Briton declined
This was brought to our mind by the call for
a meeting of the Immortal twenty, who as
sembled last night at the City Hall. They
got out their constitutional amendment &eg,
marked powder" and threatened to blow up
our entire social system; but when we came
to examine into the matter, we found the tor
pedo to be nothing more dangerous than a
keg of political onions. The fuse has fzzled
out, and the oGor thereof stinks in the nos
trils of the community.

Worth Remembering.

When very disreputable gentleman of
antiquity was having rather jolly time at a
supper party, certain luminous words, writ
ten by the tip of a luminous finger, came out
upon the wall Those words foretold the de-
struction of the proud city over which be
ruled.
The enemy, by piece of ingenuity and
skill, which, in late times, DRUsUs and the
Prince of Parma, and the hero of Silver
Spoons and Dutch Gap, have initiated to
some extent, turned the river which ran
through that mighty town from its course,
and thus gained access to its works of defense
We may learn something from this, Bati-
more designs to turn the stream of trade from
this city She will dig her channel, so to
speak, in the Valley RAILROAD, and while we
lit at our feast-not of reason-but of bril-
liant dreams-the enemy in the shape Of COM
mercial ruin will enter the town, and the
legend will blaze out on every wall, to tell
us wo have been found wanting in energy,
enterprise, and intelligence.
There is no fiction about this 1t is solid
truth. No man can ignore or deny it. The
future of Norfolk depends on her keeping the
line of trade to the West open Does any
sane man doubt it ? No one disputes this
proposition. What then shall We do? Shall
we sit and wait for the reproach to blaze upon
US from the wall, CT shall we be up and do
ing, like reasonable men? Let lis act with
promptness and with sense. How shall we
act What shall we DO? The answers are
plain. We must send to the Assembly the
very best man within our reach. Who is he?
We answer, without designing to disparago
my other, that Mr. GooDE is the person.
Some tell us, and of these thank GoD, there
are very few that we ought to send one Of
our own people" Very good. He is one
Of our own people. A Virginian intus ct in
cute Not born and raised here upon hog
fish and oysters, it is true; and for that rea-
son all the better; all the better because when
he meets men from his own section of the
State, he will WELD an influence and exert a
power which no other man in tide-water
Virginia possesses. He does not desire the
place. In taking it, be does violence to his
personal inclination some injury to pro-
fsssional career But to Norfolk he can do
incalculable good. Who will dispute it2

pended half a million of dollars The ball

objectionable apathy on our part to neglect
the opportunity to show the world what a
curiously wretched uniform that immortal

Southern Independence This slender con-

THE ROUTE BY WHITE BLUFFS TO

The ROUTE BY WHITE BLUFFS TO
MosrANA.-By consulting the map,
parties on their way to Montana will
see that the most direct available
route at this season of the year is to
cross the Columbia River at the Dalles
and take the direct route by White
Bluffs and Pen d'Orellle to the Jocko
Reservation, and beyond. At present
the Mullan Road is not available for
travel, and it is not within the range
of human industry or ingenuity to fit
it for that purpose before the 10th of
Juno next. Even then it is doubtful
if the fords on the Ceur d'Alene and
st. Regis de Borgia will be practicable,
and there are nearly one hundred cross
ings on the aggregate. on the two
streams. If it shall happen that the
steamer on Pen d'Oreille Lake is fin'
ished by the first Of April, this route
will not only be the favorite, but the
only one by which travellers can reach
the new El Dorado. OF course this
does not prevent parties from going
b by Walla Walla to purchase horses,
but those who have brought stock
from below, or who may purchase it
here, can 60 in less distance aud over
an excellent road by White Bluffs. The
distance from the Dalles to White
Bluffs is 116 miles; from thence, l5'
miles to Pen dOreille Lake; thence
65 miles across the Lake, thence, lS
miles TO Blackfoot CiLy-total, 50
miles. It's $50 miles, by land'and water
to Walla Wala, and from thence 45
miles by the Mullan Road TO the cross
ing of Deer Lodge River, Il short di'
tance this side OF Blackfoot City. L
20 througR~Waila Walla and by til
Pen d'Oreille route is much farther,
course, and as we have before state
the latter is the only practicable rou
until June next.l AS to the purcha'
of stock, wo advise inexperiencC
travellers to watch for chances to br
from the time they land in Orego
and, after passing this point witho
the necessary animals to mako Il
journey, they will then have to 60
Walla Walla where there arc lar
herds of horses and pretty (,
chances to buy to advantage.
