The WIND RIVER MOUNTAIN EXPEDITION created
great degree Inactivity on Main street during
the past few days. About seventy five men have
left this place to rendezvous at Boise City from
which place they will likely start on Sunday or
Monday. We have endeaYored to procure full
list of the prospectors, but found it impossible
until they organize at Boise City, as many will go
who don't talk of it. and many talk of it who don't
go. Several gentlemen have promised to keep US
posted on the results of the expedition, the char
0cter Of the country visited &c. &C.. as frequently
as opportunities occur.
The company is under the leadership of Mr.. D.
C. Patterson, who has lately returned frem those
m ntains, being driven out of the country by
Crow Indians. The country to be visited lies at
the head of Green, Snake and the Yellowstone
Rivers. This company will go within fifteen miles
of Fort Hall, thence striking off in northeasterly
course into the Wind River Mountains. We OBJ
serve from the Montana Post that company of
$50 men undet Gapt. R. Bledsoe left Virginia on
the fifss day of August for the Yellowstone and
Green rivers. The utexplored country will thus
be apl reached from both sides.
Among the citizens Of Idaho City who have
gone OH the trip are the following: D. e. Patter-
son, Henry Hughes, Jerry Fitzgerald ,-McGraw
DR.. F. C. Nichols, Chas. Merrill, Geo. Padget
Chas. H Young, John Airing, Hawthorne

ceived from Bancroft & Co., publishers a copy of
this new work. The popularity of this dscrip.
tive Atlas is the prominence given to the Pacific
States and Territories. 1t was issued at San
Francisco, and designed for use in the schools of
this coast-the author believing that the geogra-
ply of ones own country should be familiar before
that Of distant countries is undertaken. The
maps are fuller than usual and appear to be
drawn with the aid of the latest explorations.
Idaho comes in fora share Of description. This

Low PRIcE.-Wheat bas started off in this
market at the low figure of sixty cents pei
bushel. This is the lowest figure that wheat
has ever rated at here, and the farmers all
say, lower than it can be raised for
OuToF PRoPoRTIoN.-Wages for farm hands
and the prices of grain seem to be wofulIy out
of proportion in this valley this year. Three
dollars per day is the ruling price for harvest
hands. The thrashers, too, it appears have
''struck for higher wages" and propose to
charge eight and ten cents for thrashiRg.

coincidence, that at the very time when mem

miners of California to give the country three
per centum ofthe net product of their mines,
an effort is being made to exempt iron, coal
and Oil products from Pennsylvania mines
and wells from taxation, BY the aid of the
manufacturing interests.

American people was in, the opposite direc-

There is something of this due to political
craft, on the part of the Radicals. who, are,
really, the bitterest enemies of the Irish, but
who are trying to play their feelings, and
lead them of, politically, to battle for their
enemies, the Puritan Radicals, against their
friends, the old-fashioned Democrats. That
game was played successfully in 1861, and
there are shrewd politicians in hopes it may
be repeated. But the sentiment has deeper
origin than any maneuvring of politicians
There is something of popular, or national,

The most fatal mistake of all, and utterly

3 A DEAD DUCK.

3 We take the7following from the Lafayette
DEM Courier: We are rather glad than
otherwise that Malone has gone 10 the B acks.
He sometime since assailed US, and he ques.
toned our Democracy, and latter day saint
has done the same thing, and we shall proba-
bly, see both of these prosecutors unite their
fortunes with the enemy before many days.
We know Pat, and he wont do to trust in pol
tiles or anything else. He is bound TO make
it pay, and for that purpose offered to sell out
to the Blacks in '62, but the little mortgage
that was on the office forced him to finally
hoist the ticket, and support it. He has been
more damage to the Democracy than good in
Oregon, and we feel satisfied that his acces-
sion to the Abolition side is great benefit to
the party. Come, gentlemen, of the Abolition
persuasion, will you please favor as with
some of the beautiful paragraphs you once
published on this man2 The coolest trick,
however, is, that the Democracy of Idaho
furnished about So, 600 to purchase an Office
and now he has sold it to the Blacks and
Epocketed the money Patmakes it pay:
The Sentinel (Rep) says that Pat Malone
has apostatized from the Democracy VI
North, and united his fortunes with the Re-
publican party. This rumor, taken in con.
nection with the fact that the press shipped
up there by Pat is now run in the interest Of
the Radicals, gives some color of truth to the
story that the versatile Pat is playing his old
game. The Sentinel deprecates his espousal
of their cause, and we'll il may. Somebody
is destined to be bilked by him, and we rather
like the idea of Pats taking it into his head
to prey. upon the Blacks in the future.
