The lodes formerly knowe as Rock.
fellow'squartz discovery on the waters
of Powder River, have lately been
worked with renewed energy by Col.
J. S. Ruckle, the present owner of the
mines, with very fattering results. 9
In a run of thirty-six consecutive days 1
in November and December, the ex.
traordinary yield of S36,50O, in round
numbers was realized - the quartz
running from SIS to S85 ton.
On account of the mill being driven ]
by water-power, crushing is suspend
ed until spring breaks, when ten stamps
will be added to the ten already in
operation. The mill is located on
Powder River, about soven miles from
the lodes where the quartz is obtained;
and is very complete establishment,
in perfect running order.
The original discovery of Rockfel-
low and party and includes five loaes,
ois the Union, Rocky, Eureka, Ophir
and Hoosier; Of these, the Union is
best developed, and the location of
the ground is such that it is first
reached by the same adits intended to
work all the lodes. "A shaft has been
sunk one hundred and forty feet on
the Union, and an adit has been run
in something over hundred feet 10
the bottom of the shaft. Another is
four hundred feet in, which will strike
the Union two hundred and fifty feet
from the surface. The mines are ex>
pecting daily to strike tho Union in
this adit Galleries have been run
sixty or seventy feet each way from
the deep shaft, and work is still pro.
crossing upon them. The average
width of the Union is about three feet,
with dip to the north The rock is
remarkably clear OF all combinations
calculated to impede amalgamation,
aud in general improves as it is sunk
upon. The other lodes are of about
the same average proportions, running
parallel to this at short distances from
it, and will be all worked from the
same adits.
The gold from these lodes averages
about $19 40 an ounce, and contrary
to the general belief in regard to
quartz carrying gold of great fineness,
it is evenly distributed, and promises
to run with as much regularity as in
any silver lode discovered in the Co.
lumbia Basin. 1t is, however, met
occasionally in very considerable quan
titles of the same purify as that taken
from the batteries.
IMPORTANT DECISION IN RELATION
TO THE LOCATION OF ROADS We learn
, that, in q case reserved from Umatilla
County, Judge Wilson has decided
some questions, which may be Of great
moment to the public:
l. In the viewing and locating o.
roads, it is necessary, that the whole
number of viewers, appointed by the
County Court, should be present u,
such view and location. A majority
Of the viewers may make and sign the
report of their proceedings, but al

The New Orleans Delta points out one ad
vantage that would flow to the South in the
event of a war resulting from French occupa-
ton of Mexico. 1t says that the South in its
impoverished condition is lily fitted to engage
in further strife, but such contest "mght
prove of great assistance in forcing promp,
recognition ofthe rights of the South to repre-
sentation to Congress, and to complete res.
toration Of civil powers. With such war
upon his hands, President JOHNSON could de-
mand this restoration, and the radicals would
not dare refuse in such crisis The Govern.
ment would need the support of the tried le-
gions of the Soul. - =
in Congress would not be willing to risk a
further alienation Of their sympathies while
so formidable an enemy was threatening the
nation An i'll source from which to draw
encouragement.

When the committee of the Baltimore an
nual conference Of the NJ. E. Church, appoint
ed to wait upon President johnson, returned
to the conference yesterday, sitting at Alex
andria, they reported that they had most
interesting and pleasing Interview with the
President, VINO had entertained them kindly
to the exclusion of other important business.
They said they had laid before the President
the call Of the churches OF this conference
which had been taken possession Of by the
military, and had informed him that it was
rumored that the churches had been seized
in accordance with an order issued by him.
The President replied that he was not aware

At1he conclusion of the report of the COM
mittee, which was read by Mr.. Wilson, Hon.
John Hogan, member of Congress from Mis-
souri,. who accompanied the committee on
their visit to the White House, rose and sub
stantiated the statement of Mr.. Wilson, and
stated further that in conversation with the
President Mr.. johnson had unhestatingly said
that no SUCH order as the one referred to had
emanated from him. He referred to all order
from the War Department that had been is
sued in relation TO church at Winchester,
INT that order was directed to Gen. Hancock
to investigate and make report, and the
President thought it had been satisfactorily
adjusted.
Mr.. Hogan also mentioned the case Of g
church in Missouri, in which the Presiden
had directed an investigation to be made, ant
the facts reported to him, in order that hi
might make proper adjustment of it. Mr.
Hogan then stated that the policy of tn,
President was to restore the rights Of al
loyal people and leave future questions to b.
settled by the courts, after the parties shal
have bssa placed in the status they occupied
| prior TO the past difficulties.

SECRETARY HARLAN.

"Peninsula" the Washington correspondent
of the Saginaw, Mich Enterprise, was one
of the party that serenaded Secretary HAR-
Lam recently. After referring to Justice MIL
LER, lady and daughters, Senator WILLIAMS,
Gen. BELKNAp, n McCREA, and other well
known Iowaus, who were..of the party, he
pays Mr.. HARLAN the following merited tri-
butte, albeit he is mistaken in saying the re-
election of Mr.. HARLAN to the Senate will
take him from the Cabinet.
1t will not be out place for me, in this con
nection, to add remark in appreciation of
the high and enviable position occupied by
Mr.. HARLAN in the public mind. The COM
plimenthe received last evening was well mer
tied; for in all the Departments of the public
service, no man has q better or more worthy
record. 1t has been such as not only to com.
mand the hearty approval of the people of his
own State, but of the whole country; posses.
sed of the very soul of honor, and distinguished
for unsullied integrity, native good sense,
and clear perception of the true interests Of
the country, he stands to-day in first rank of
American statesmen; as well as among the
the wisest and safest, if | may SO speak, oil
the radical men of our times. A man whose
eye of vision extends to the advanced out
posts of progress and Christian civilization,
approaching all that could be found in safe
progress, and bold enough to proclaim his con.
victions on all just occasions; yet judged
from the stand point of practicability, he. has
proved not wanting in those traits ofdiscretion,
sagacity, judgement, forethought, and discrim-
nation, which control communities, and make
practical these theories, which acute and
sensitive minds originate and proclaim to the
world. In this respect it is not too much to
say, he has the confidence of the best men of
the nation. His own State, appfeciating these
facts, has done well in recalling him to repre-
sent her interests In the Senate, bat the
Cabinet will thereby lose one of its wisest and
safest counsellers.
