SEVERE on OLD THAD.-The Richmond Era5uih-
ner is terribly severe upon Thaddeus Stevens,
Chairman Of the House committee on reconstruc.
ton, and chief stumbling block in the way of
an epFly restoration of the Union. In language
more fOrcible than refined, it thus refers to the
radical chief:

HOME PRoDUcTIoNs.-It will be noticed
in our market report for this week, that we
have added two new items of domestic pro.
duction-Walla Walla Whskey and Bran
dy. For year or two back the business of
manufacturing liquors on a small scale has
been carried on in this Valley, and has paid
the manufacturer literally. Recently, Mr.
l. 7. Reese, of the STANDARD Mill" has
gone into the business, and bringing to his
aid machinery and the latest improvements,
he is enabled to turn oct liquors which com
petent judges pronounce to be of the best
quality. The world would most likely be
better off if there was no such thing as in.
toIicating drinks; but iuasmuch as people
will drink aud'spend their money for whis.
key, we think it well to produce the "ar.
dent" at home, and thus avoid sending our
money abroad, and to that extent impover-
ishiug the couOtry. The liquors manufae.
tured at Walla Walla, we ere assured, are
much better article than can be laid down
from below at the same figures, and have
the additional Recommendation o being free
Som adulteration. We commend these
Acts to the attention of parties in the mines
engaged in the liquor trade. Orders sent
to this market can be filed in less time and
n lower hgutes than if sent below.

New posT OFFICE. we learn that
Quincy A. Brooks, Special Postal Agent,
has recommended the establishment of a
post.ofice at Waits Mill, on the Touchet
Mr.. B. desires the people in that locality to
hold a meeting and designate some suitable
person to hold the position of Postmaster.
When this is done, let the name of the par
ty thus selected be forwarded to Mr.. B., at
Portland, and he win take aiEnecessary steps
for the establishment of the office. Quite a
little town is springing up around Waits
Mill, the people of which will be greatly
benefited by haviag postal facilities extended
to them. Mr.. B. has also recommended the
appointment of Postmaster at Wallula-a

THE oRoPs.NThus far the crops look excel

TIE CRoPs.-NThus far the crops look excel
lent, audllhe prospect is, that the farmers OF
this Valley will have a most abundant harvest
The wheat crop promises to double that of any
former year-this in consequence of the greatly
increased amount of land brought under culu-
walton. In cultivating their wheat crops, we
trust that our farmers will not neglect the other
great staples for which the mines afford ready
market. With this season, we should stop the
shipment of beans from below, and secure for
ourselves all the revenue growing out of the de-
mand for this essential article of the miners
diet, In the article of bacon we should also
tax. a great stride ahead. Itis computed thst
during the last fall and winter, not to exceed ht-
teen hundred hogs were killed and cured 10 this
Valley. This number should be improved upon,
and with another season the figures should
foot up fifteen thousand, or even more if
possible At the price at which bacon rules IN
this market no business will pay better than
that Of raising hogs and curing bacon In this
sss as Hr5P il Bst8f R1n Valley in our favor
and this advantage it is our duty to improve.
On the whole Pacific coast there is not an agri-
cultural community to be found where the in
ducements to energy and activity are half so
great as in Walla Walla Valley. In California
the producer to a great extent is'dependent upon
foreign markets, the competition in which is
very great, and as a consequence he can only
expect the most moderate remuneration for his
labor. The farmers of the Willamette Valley
almost exclusively look to the Northern mines
as market for their surplus products, but ow-
ing to the expense attending transportation of
articles so bulky, it very often happens that af-
ter the commission merchants and shippers are
paid, there is little or nothing left for the pro-
ducer. Here we have no such drawbacks. Al
most at his door the farmer has q market for all
that he can produce, and a paying figures. In
this regard we are favored beyond any other
people, and have every inducement to plough
deep and stimulate our productive resources to
their utmost capacity.

TIE MAIL BETWEEN WALLA WALLA AND DALLEs.
An arrangement has been effected by Quincy A.
Brooks, Esq, Special Agent Of the Post Office
Department By which the mail between Walla
Walla and the Dalles will hereafter be carried
from FIVE to six times per week, or as often as
steamers ply up and down the Columbia river,
instead Of tri-weexly as heretofore. The inau-
guration Of the new system makes a new era in
10 the postal affairs Of the country east of the
Cascade mountaiu5. As the mail is now carried
by the same conveyance and as frequently as
the express, there is no reason why we should
patronize Wells Fargo l. Co. in preference to
Uncle San. The importance Of the new ar
Eaugement will be readily appreciated by'every
rejecting mind. The contract for carrying a
tri-weekly mail from Salt Lake City to the Dalles
was awarded to Ben. Holiday for the sum of
$780, 900 per aulum. From Walla Walla to the
Dalles the mail is clrried by sub-contrac C tors =,
viz from Walla Walla to Wdllula by the stage
Company of George F. Thomas L Co., and thence
to Dslles by tho Oregon Steam Navigation Co
The increased service which has been procured
BY the good management Of Special Agent
Brooks, to be performed WittoW any extra COM
psH'atioH, would actually cost according TO the
rate paid BY the Government to Holiday from
S25,0oo to 100000 per annum. And this extra
rurvice, being upon the most important end of
the route, is well worth that sum. We presume
this arrangement could have been consummate ted
BY the previous Agent. And in this affair we
$50 how important and necessary it is that the
postal affairs Of this coast should be entrusted
to Special Agent possessing sense, tact, and
energy, for in this one simple transaction Mr..
Brooks has performed a service which is worth
more to the Government and this people than
the pay Of half dozen Special Agents.

ity for saying that the fellow is an imposter.
At the last accounts he was travelling through
the Boise country. Our friends of the press

REVEREND VLLAIS.-Rev. vi f. Boyakin
has finally capped the climax of bis infamous an d
amoEous career, by drugging two girls and de-
bauching their persons. This outrage, for cool
deliberate, diabolical atrocity, is unsurpassed
Boyakin, who has been residing in Salem during
the winter and officiating as pastor Of the Bap-
tist Church, recently went to Yamhill county to
deliver a series of lectures on the ReVelations
Here he became the guest of a worthy minister
10 the same churehTaud for some weeks parrouk
of the hospitaities Of tlfHt good man and his
very eStiuable family. The family consisted Of
the ministers wife and three daughters, the eld- =
est of whom is married, and was at her fathers
house, sick of conEuement The parents had
changed their sleeping room to one adjacent TO
that of their sick daughter IN order to admins
ter to ber wants, and Boyakin was permitted to
occupy the vacant room, which was of convon-
ieut access to the chamber of the two young
girls, who are about thirteen and sixteen years
Of age respectively Into this chamber Boyakin
introduced himself in the night, and with the
aid Of drugs, overcame their innocence and out
ragedrtheir persons as stated. Night after night
did this echerous old rpf fiian satate his Internal
lusts upon his powerless victims, until the crime
speedily manifested itself in the appearance of
the daughters. It was with difficulty that the
lives Of the unfortunate sufferers were saved ,
never, however, to recover from the suferings
selves and their stricken parents. Boyakin es-
capped the just retributiou prepared for him by
the neighborhood, By. fleeing from it. He is
supposed to have effected hfB eseaPe on the
Sierra Nsvadd, on her last outward trip. He is
about 80 years ofage with bair and beard quite
gray. He sgnilty Of some improperly in Sa-
lem last winter, while at the th eatre, aud public
indignation was qnite strong against him, but
the church of which he was pastor nestled him
in her lap and screened his unworthy carcass.
The family in which be has wrought this ruin is
one of the most es timbIe in the State, and it is
pity that they gave such implicit confidence
to a man about whom the world had rumored
bad things, eEen if be was gray-haired and a
minister. But what is most to be regretted is
that the Baptist Church in Salem did not, when
bis notorious conduct in the Salem Theatre had
excited such universal comment, put its foot
upon the monster and crush him, instead of
giving him passport into homes to blight and
destroy them.-PortlGnd Herald

THr MERCHANTS COMBINATION At sAS FRAscIsool
Ever since peace has returned to our now
happy and prosperous country the question has
often been asked why it is that goods continue
10 rise on this coast? And this, 100, at time
Wien we learn that low prices are ruling in the
eastern markets., and gold coutitnaIly falling.
A gentleman who arrived lately from the Bay
Civ gives me a little Ii sht on tbs subject.
First, The shrewd Traders Of that City, in
view OF tBe contiauohs falling Of of goods in
the east keep but very small sticks on hand,
and 10 order for the country dealsr to get his as
sortment filled, he is Obliged open accounts
with at least twenty Arms
Second, AS there is a combination existing
between the rhetchantsj it is eenainly to their
interest to keep up prices and this partly ex-
nlaius for the high prices which rule on this
coast. Alta time when the citei Of St. Louis,
| Chicago and Cincinnati are making great efforts
TO secure for themselves the iich trade of the
Territories of Utah, Colorado, Idaho and Mon
! tapa. it should be the policy pf the San Fran
cisco merchants to deal fair, a1d thereby benefit
themselves and the whole Pacific coast. Bdt as
matters stand now, tis fair to iresuThe that the
merchants of Oregon, Montana and Idaho will
import their goods direct from the east. The
New York merchant would jet As ,soon open
account with an Oregon merchlnt as one Of San
| Francisco. 'a

No WAR.-A gentleman of Louis
vile, says the JoyoAM of that city, on
Thursday of last week put an interest
ing question to MI. Seward, Secre-
tary of State. Mr.. Seward replied
I" [ must answer you automatically, -
and he did. "And now," said the
gentleman, 81 will ask you another
question, and you can answer as diplo-
matically as you please: Are we to
have warp "Nor' replied the Secre-
tary. Nothing diplomatic about that.
The Journal adds: "We know that
this conversation took place, for we
heard it,"

ANOTHER CRUSADE. that the
more than thirty years war upon
slavery is over, it would seem that we
are to have a fresh one against DO
lygamy, as another of the "twin
relics Of barbarism." The-work is
yet unfinished, according to the
Cleveland Leader, Republican
paper, which says:
We are now ready to give quietus
TO polygamy, even if it does not
adopt the same suicidal policy which
SO speedily killed its twin sister. But
it seems probable that, having put
down rebellion for slavery, and put
down slavery too, we may be called
on to put down rebellion for polyga-
my. The signs of preparation. for a
struggle with the United States all
thorities are far more manifest in
Utah. than they ever were in the
South, apd there can be no question
that all that is wanting to-. .precipi-
tate the contest is an imiaed;ate
occasion for conflict.

LITERATURE IN THE SOUTH.
Atlanta (Georgia) Ne'o Era says: The
disposition to read new books, rs now
displayed in the South, is unexam-
pied. All manner of books are pur-
chased eagerly, and read with avidity.
Poetry, which few years ago would
have remained on the shelves of
bookstores until cob-wehs had thick
ened over the covers, is now bought
up and read with ready relish; and
works of fiction, no matter how weak
and stale, find some tender female to
weep over the haps and mishaps of
their ill-conceived heroines.
We are glad to see this evident
bearing Of the public mind. An
epoch of book-making is the happiest
one in the history of nation. It is
significant of wealth and prosperity.
1t shows that the minds of the people
are turned away from golden idols,
and are seeking food for mental cul-
ture. 1t evinces the fact that the
war and its concomitant train are no
longer blasting the public min.l, but
that all are willing to come up and
feed at t. @ same intellectual stall, and
labor together for the propagation of
an era of letters in our national his
tory. Let us have it.
