ly endorse the Philadelphia National
Convention. The latter in his letter
to Senator Doolittle, declares that the
Presidents policy and this Convention
are the only things that will save the
country from being precipitated into
another civil war; that the Radicals,
in and out of Congress, must be de-
feated, or the Union is lost. We are
glad that those Rip Van Wrinkles have
recovered their senses, even at the

A MODERN DIvINE.-Our readers

VIM. G. Brownlow, celebrated for his
pro and dnti-slavery tactics, by turns,
was last year elected Governor OF
Tennessee, by the "loyal' people of
that State. He is now running the
mae he on the improved religious
way. The following is copy of q
letter addressed to the Dead Duck,
on the passage of the negro amend
ments to the Constitution;
NASHVILLE, July 10, 1865.
To Hon. j. W. Forney, Secretary U. s. Senate:
We have fought the battle and won il. wehave
ratified the constitutional amendment in the House
-forythree votes for IL, eleven against 1.-two Of
Andrew Johnson's tools not voting. Give my ro-
spccts to the dead dog Of the White House

In THE UNION AoAIN.-The Rump
House, at Washington, on Friday last,
learning that their bantling--the Rump
Legislature of Tennessee-had passed
the Constitutional amendments, at
once set to work to admit that State
into the Union, and. by a vote of l25
to IL, put Tennessee back into the
Union. The IL votes were cast by
leading Radicals, who want to keep
Tennessee and all the other States out
of the Union, until they adopt Negro
suffrage-make their former slaves
equal with themselves. We only
wish that every Radical had black
wench strapped to his back for about
thirty days. The white man who
thinks himselfno better than Negro,

A MlsTAKE.-The late radical convention in
this county declared ''the will of Congress to
be the will of the people" Judging from the
election returns, this is altogether mistake.
Instead of rejecting the popular will, the runp
Congress is fast becoming a stencil in the nos
trils Of the people, and unless the session is soon
brought to close voice will go up from all
parts OF the land demanding the dispersion of
these plotters of treason. 1t will not be strange
President Johnson, like another Napoleon, is
called upon to enter the Halls of Congress, and
at the lead of bis grenadiers clear the chambers
of the men who in the name of law are outrag-
ing all law. We trust that the country may be
spared this trial, but should the mad zealots who
now bold high carnival at Washington continue
to outrage the sentiment Of the country, "to this
complexion will it come at last"

LIGH WATER.-That mythical individual Eno7n
as the ''oldest inhabitant," says the streams in
the upper coHhtry have never before been as
high as they are this season. Bridges on ihe
line of Mulan's Road, that escaped the graf
freshet of 1862, have been washed away, and
streams that in ordinary seasons are mre
rivulets, are now swollen to the dimensions of
huge rivers. In many places the valleys are re-
duced to the condition of lakes, and travel is ,v-
erywhere obstructed by the deluge of waer.
Along down the Columbia River, we hear he
same tale of high water. At the Dalles, alta
test accounts, the Railroad Bridge, and man, of
the buildings on Main street were submero,d
On the floor of the "Umatilla House, the waer
was eight inches deep, and in the stone bpid-
iugs on the opposite side of the street, the wasr
was over foot in depth. The water was fgIv
up to the Bridge, the railroad track being s,b.
merged, and fears were entertained for The
safety of thestructure; On Main street many Of
the merchants and business men were drowned
out, and many more expected to be compelled to
Vacate their premises. The damage to pronsrtv
cannot fail TO be considerable The fats all
along the line of the Columbia are overaowed
and the damage in the shape of fence rails syvant
away and other property destroyed, is immense,

THs Pen D 'ORETLLE HUNBUG-Mr W. Andrews
is just down from the Blackfoot country, having
returned by way of the CDur AIene and Mul.
Ian Road. Like maay others, by means of mis-
representation, Mr.. A. was induced to travel the
Pen d d'Oreille route in going to the mines, and
speaking from his own experience and obserya-
tion, be pronounces the whole an unmitiyated
humbug, without solitary redeeming feature.
OF all the trains that went out by Pen d'Oreille
our informant says not one will return by that
Toute. Many of them have already started back
By way of the Mullan Road, and all the return
travel will follow this latter route Great indig-
nation is felt among owners of trains who were
induced to go by way of Pen d'Oreille, and the
curses Of these upon the o. S. N. Company and
all others who were parties to the humbug. are
both loud and deep. The impression is. that for
the iuture Mr. Moody may as well tie IN his
ierry boat on the Lake, and suspend operations
In opening road. All money thus expended
is thrown away, as it is now quite certain that
the trade and travel will follow the Mullan Road
HAD the money that has been souandered in en-
oeaTor:ng TO humbug the public, been expended
In opening the Mullan Road we should have had
good trade the ntire season, and the o. S. N.
Cos boats would have had full employment.
AS 1t is, the complaint of dull times is univer-
sal, and all because of the selfish policy pursued
0y Portland capitalists. Let us hope that the
experience of this year will teach them how fu-
tile it is for even capital to attempt to divert
travel from it3 legitimate channel.

Letter from Farmer,

ED. STATEsMAN.-1he culture of bean,
in this valley being of great Importance t.
the farming community it will probably b,
interesting to know all the drawbacks anC
difficulties in the way. Que of the mos,
important of these is the cutworm. II /.
very apt to take quite percentage of those
that come up and are healthy plants; but
lortunately y its ravages are not Of long dura>
ton, for there seems to be 10 certain rene,
dy. There is another enemy in the shape
of a small, long-bodied black fly, which
works into the ground and lays its eggs in
the root Of the young plant, and the sting,
together with the worm that matches from
the egg Ofthe fly, makes the plants attacked
very weakly and often ruins them entirely
The best remedy | have found for this is
deen planting The gopher, when allowed
to inhabit the field, will eat off the roots and
destroy a great many beans, even after they
are nearly ripe. As a bar against this ene>
my traps and strychnine are the best, except
where circumstances will permit of irriea>
ton, which will always have the effect to
drive them away.
Alkali is very injurious to beans Land
thas mas tue ledSI appearance -OI alKdll Will
not produce a good crop of beans without
heavy manuring When there is any alkali
in the ground beans will appear diseased
when they come up. The separated halves
of the bean will be decayed and have the
appearance of being eaten by some micro
scopic insect But after close examination.
and several years experience, find this dis,
ease to be caused by too much alkali there,
fore, we must select ground with this in
view. But if the heans are planted early.
so as to get up before the ground becomes
dry or very warm, find they are not injured
so much. Early planting is one of the best
remedies against the cut worm and wire
worm.
l have found that the Chill bean is much
the hardest bean that l have ever raised
owing, believe, to its very rapid growth. 1t
seems to get out of the way Of danger.
To avoid the evil effects of alkali, I plow
a deep furrow, with two horses, and plant
my beans in the bottom of it. Thus | Sc,
cure moisture and avoid too much warmth
from the sun. WALLA WALLA FARMER.

DEPLoRABLE ACCIDENTAL gentleman
who has just teturned from the Big Rend
mines furnishes US the particulars of de-
plorable accident: On the 10th of May a
party consisting of some eighteen persona
started to descend the Columbia river in a
small boat They attempted to run Death
Rapids, and in doing so their boat capsized
and fifteen of their number were drowned.
The accident, as we learn, was caused by
improper management of the boat and q
failure to obey the orders Of the man at the
helm. The names of the men who were lost
are as follows: Myrick Miller, Of Green
wood, Cal; Robert Magee, Drytown, Cal;
c. j. Kenly, Canda; VIM. G. Caldwell, John
S. McReil, VIM. Richards and nephew and
Little Joe, German, from Victoria; John
Fordum, London; Richard Haney, Edward
Gilbert, Richard uoldsworth and three
Frenchmen, whose names are unknown.
Two men belonging to the party had landed
previous to the accident, and thus escaped
with their lives, OF those on board the
boat cut one man, the helmsman, escaped.
We are told that a number of other acci-
dents have happened in attempting to run
Death Rapi1 is in small boats, but none of
them so destructive to life as that of the
10th May. The unfortunate party was com.
posed of disappointed miners who were on
their way back. Their sad fats has we'll
justified the name given to the locality in
which they persisted.

FARM1Na Paosprors.-We hear from

FARMING pRosPEcTs.-We hear from
every portion of the valley that the grain
crops look more promising for an abundant
yield than they have ever before done at this
season of the year. The continued and un>
usual rains seem to have had a beneficial
rather than a deleterious eject upon the
growing crops, as some anticipated. The
rains have had the effect to destroy the
grassboppers, crickets and other insects that
usually prey upon the fields, as well as to
accelerate the growth of the young grain.
This is especially the case with the higher
lands and the only drawback that can pos
sibly result from it is that it may make the
harvest season come on a little later, and
possibly cause the straw in some Of the rich
bottom lands to grow too rank for convenient
harvesting. But those who are disposed to
turn all things to the best account, will take
consolation in the thought that the more
abundant their straw is the better their stock
will fare next winter. The farmers geueraIIy
have made up their minds that owing to the
abundance of grain that will be raised every
where on the coast, low prices will rule after
harvest, yet there is cause for congratulation
in the reflection that their greatly increased
crops will bring their income up, or nearly
nm. to the standard of former years when
their grain commanded higher prices. The
grass on the prairies is unusually abundant
and the stock'rasers are jubilant, while their
focks and herds, to use vernacular pecu'
liar to them, are rolling in fat. As an ex-
ample of the great abundance of bunch grass,
we are told that men are at work with a ma.
chine out on Dry Creek, moving it down
for hay. This, We believe, has never before
been done in the country,

MONTANA MARKETs.-The Virginia Post, of
May 18th, says: "Since our last report the
market has steadily declined, in some goods al
most fifty per cent, and no demand at these fig
ures. Some few trains are arriving from Salt
Lake and the valley, laden with staple groceries
and produce. The past week has been one of
the dulIest the market has ever seen. Flour has
exception this is the lowest figure -four has ever
been sold at in Montana Bacon unchanged.
Lard dull. Sugars are lower. Coffee declined.
Candles dull Tobacco declined full 25 cents,
and in but little demand. Butter inactive ard
lower" In explanation of this continued de-
preston in the price Of all descriptions of mer-
chandise, an intelligent gentleman, just down
from Blackfoot, informs US that all the new dis
coyeries are from one to two hundred miles this
side of Virginia and Helena, and that these new
excitements have carried off the population, ,
leaving the old centres ortr-da deserted. under
these eircunstancos, merchants ending them
selves with large stocks Of goods on hand are
willing to sell at any price. At Elk Greek, and
at the different mining districts lately dscov-
cred, provisions of all kinds command high pr-
ces and business is active. All the newly dis
covered mines are on this side of the divide, and
on the streams flowing toward the Pacific. We
mention these facts for the purpose of account
ing for the depression in prices in the Montana
market; and further as showing that the dcvel-
opments of this season are calculated to strength
en- the conviction that the people of Montana
their supplies. 1t rs possible that Virginia City
can get goods direct from st. Louis at lower fig
ures than from the Pacific coast, but when it
comes to packing and teaming two hundred
miles this way, the advantage is altogether in
our favor. With the Mullan Roadein good con-
dition, we should even now have good trade
with Montana, and one sure to grow from year
oyear.
