FLORENCE, October 28-NoOn.-
The following is the substance of the
royal proclamation issued yesterday.
The King commences by saying the
country is in great danger. He de-
clares that a war against France and
her probable allies would be impOssi-
BILE. He denOunces Garibaldians for
usurping the right to make war, which
is the prerOgative of the King. He
says the nations of Europe must know
that he is no disturber of the public
order, and that the flag raised against
the head of the Catholic Church is not
his. He commands the insurgents to
return to their allegiance, and exhOrts
the people to sustain their King and
preserve the national honor, and con-
cludes by promising that when tran
guilty is restored, Italy, with France,
will settle the Roman question.

AUTUMN.
Moan, on ye Autumn winds,
Summer has 1ed,
The flowers have closed their tender leaves and die

All low must lie,
Because the gentle Summer nov is dead.
Grievo, oh ye Autumn winds
Summer lies low,
The roses trembling leaves will soon be shed
For her she loved so, .....-..r..
Alas, is dead ....-....
And one BY one her loving children go.

She lives no more,
The gentle Summer with her bAluy breath . .
Still sweeter than before,
When nearer death, -.rsr ~
And brighter every day the smile she wOrel

TIE MAIs.-Professedly there is a daily mail
between Walla Walla and Portland, but in re-
ality it scarcely amounts to a weekly service.
1t is true that solitary horseman" reaches
here toward the close of each day, bringing with
him occasionally package of letters, but the
bulk of the mail matter-including newspaper
exchanges, etc.--is kept back all the way from
week to ten days, and then the accumulation Of
the whole period is brought through in bulk.
This arrangement, doubtless, is satisfactory to
contractors, and enables them to retreuch ex,
penses, whilst at the same time they are drawing
a round sum from the Government, but to news.
paper subscribers and the public generally It
works serious Inconvenience. During the months
OF May and June we had on an average a weekly
mall and this we submitted to without a muir
mur, but more recently it has been cut down to
service of about once in ten days. Il was the
last feather that broke the camel's back, and so,
too, this last dodge of the contractors has tried
our patience beyond endurance. If we mistake
not our friend Brooks still rejoices in the dig
nifty of Postal Agent, aud If not Otherwise eu-
gagged, we suggest that hs turn his attention this
way and endeavOr to strAighten out our mails.

NEW WAY TO PAY THE NATIONAL DEBT
Editors receive all sorts of communications an d
whether they are good, bad or indifferent, are
expected to give them place in their columns.
As a specimen "brick" we presentthe following,
which the writer modestly entities, A." A way to
pay of the public debt :"
"Let Congress put out the full amount of the
public debt 10 legal tenders pay the debt with
them, which is about $4,000, ,OOO, 900; have a
braSch bank in each State, according to popula.
ton; notes redeemable in one hundred years
money to be leaned at the rate of per cent. ~
coin; as fast as bills wear out the bank to take
them in by giving new ones. In this way bond
holders will not lose any thing, the debt will be
paid off and plenty of money in the country.
As 1t is at present, one-half the land will be
owned by bond.bolders inside of ten yeaTs-in
fact, the whole country. The revenue tax COL
lected last year amounted to $3.50, 900 900 the
interest on bonds footed up Sl4O, ,OOo, ,ooo De-
duct pay of officials for collecting revenue, say
nothing about robbery, and then you will see
how much is left to pay tAe debt"

and trust our correspondent will excuse the
failure to publish the balance of his letter.

Man Drowned
MILros Mills, July II,

MlLEOA AAhhsJ Suig AONas
EDITOR SrArEsMAx.-James E. Bennett vas
drowned in the Touchet, near our place, on the
18th inst, under extraordinary circumstances,
and as many versions of the affair are afoat, we
deem it just to state the particulars as they oc-
curred. Mr.. Bennett, with others, was engaged
in fishing with seine, when be got into deep
water and lost the end ofthe seine be holding.
Some one remarked to him that the rope was
under his feet, be having at that time secured
his footing, and be made an effort to recover the
seine and again got into deep water. He then
struggled as if trying to keep himself in an up
right position with his hands, while be endeav>
ored to recover the rope with his feet, out got
into deep water, strangled, or become eramped'
and after a short struggle, sunk and never again
arose to the surface. This was about the first
intimation any one had that he was in real dan
GER and Mr.. Day, being the nearest swimer to
him, plunged in and took bold of him before be
had sunk to the bottom. The dying man here
cot foul bold of Mr.. Day and took him under,
and it was only by superhumau efforts that be
broke the grasp and saved himself. By this time
Mr.. Locke, VINO was on tne oIuer siue VI lue
stream, had removed his clothes, SO as to be use
full, and swan across to the spot Being told
his exact position he plunged down feet fore>
most to feel for him, and was taken by the foot
by hard grasp. This unnerved him to some
extent for fear of being held beneath the surface
and by an effort be pushed his hand off with the
other foot which was done the more easily, as
the sock came off also. Mr.. L. now reversed his
position, and dove down and got hold of Benz
nett's arm, but the grasp being only partially
around his wrist, bis hand slipped, after bringing
him up some three feet, and be was too much ex-
hausted to make second attempt after regain-
ing the surface. Mr.. Stewart now made vain
but vigorous attempt to secure the now drowned
man, and his body was only recovered by pros
curing a boat and hook.
The fact of man drowning, surrounded o.
all sides by friends, in comparatively small
stream, in eleven feet of water is indeed strange
and seems very hard, but the reflections will be
somewhat mitigated when we consider that the
water was almost as cold as ice water, and no
man could remain under it, encountered by more
or less clothing, as each of them were, without
great danger and severe effort, which soon caus-
ed exhaustion. The fact of the cold water prov>
ing so fatal to poor Benuett-who was a swims
mer-tells how it must have affected others.
Respectfully LOCKE Lone.

DEATH OF GEN. MEAGHER.-The Helena Her
aid brings us the mournful intelligence of the
death of Gen. Thomas Francis Neagher, His
death occurred at Fort Benton, on the night of
the lst instant, under the following circumstan.
ces He had gone on board the steamer G.. 4. .
Thompson, lying at tue levee to sRAnd tha AuAn-
ing and night with party of friends. He had
retired to bed, and was heard to get up and go
out of his state room on to the guards. Upon
hearing a splashing sound in the water, the
passengers rushed out to find that one who had
stood foremost among the truly brilliant men of
our country, and who had taken so prominent
part in the Administrative affairs of Montana
Territory-winning all hearts by his 'nobleness
of nature and purpose-had been swept down
the terrible torrent, perhaps never again to be
recovered even in death. He made no cries for
help, nor was he seen after the fall /; and ell
efforts to recover his body had proved fruitless
General Meagher first became prominent from
bis connection with the Irish rebellion of ls4s ;
for bis participation in which he was convicted
Of high treason and sentenced to death His
sentence was subsequently commuted to trans
portation to Australia. After having passed
several years in penal colony, be made his
escape, and succeeded in reaching San Francis.
co, where be was enthusiastically welcomed BY
his admiring friends and countrymen. After
spending few months in California, be took
passage for New York, where be settled down
to the practice of law. On the breaking out of
the great rebellion, be at once and unhesita-
hngly declared in favor of the Union and vol
unteered his services in defence of the Govern,
meht. At the bead of an Irish regiment he was
among the very first to reach the beleaguered
capital of the uation, and at the FIRST and disas-
trous battle of Bull Run be and his regiment
performed prodigies of valor Promoted to the
rank of Major General of volunteers be was
with the army of the Potomac from the opening
to the close of the war, and in all the great
battles was distinguished by uudaunted heroism.
When peace was restored be returned to the
pursuits of civil life, but was almost immedi.
Ately summoned to Washington and rendered the
appointment of Secretary of Montana Territory.
This post General Meagher accepted, and for the
last year and a half, with the exception of occa-
sioual intervals, be has discharged the duties of
Acting Governor of that Territory. Firm and
decided in all bis measures, Gen. Meagher was
universally esteemed by the people of Montana,
and now that be is dead they mourn the loss of
one OF their bravest and best men. Honored in
the land Of his birth, aud not less respected in
the home of his adoption, his memory will long
be cherished by the friends of civil and re.
ligious liberty throughout the world.

SouTHERS RELIEF. - Accounts continue to
reach us of the famine and destituton prevail
ing in the Southern country. Hundreds and
thousands of persons are perishing for lack of
The necessaries Of life, and the extent of suffer
log is absolutely APPALLING. In California, Ne
vada, and Idaho liberal contributions have been
made for the relief of this unfortunate people,
and \the question arises whether we of Walla
WallA, favored with a superabundance, cannot
share with those of our brethren who are suf-
feriug and ready to perish? With slight effort,
we doubt not, at least five hundred bbls. of -four
could be secured for this purpose. The mill
V"~-- -G tho Valley we know. will contribute
literally, and we are authorised to state that
several of our merchants will donate from ten
to twenty barrels each. The o. S. n. Company
will transport contributions of this character
free of charge, and thus with scarce an effort
we can furRish the " staff of life" to hundreds
of well nigh famished human beings--those who
are bone of our bone and flesh of our lesh. On
more than one occasion we have endeavored to
attract the attention of our people to their duty
in this matter. We trust that other and more
urgent appeals may not be necessary. Many of
us hail from the South, and there is scarce
resident of the Valley who has not some near
and dear kindred in that ill>fated country, so
lately scourged BY and now desolated by
famine. To argue question of this kind is to
doubt the humanity of our people, and hence
we feel that all that is necessary is to suggest
the means by which we may relieve our suffer
inc countrymen

A sw1NDL1Na ARRANGEMENT. : The

A SWINDLINd ARRANGEMENT. = The
teamsters and packers living in Walla Wall
Ia Valley complain, and justly too, of the
system of taxation that obtains in the Boise
country. Being residents of Washington
Territory, they are required to pay taxes on
their property of whatever description here,
and no sooner have they reached Idaho than
they are compelled to pay most exOrbitant
rate of taxation on the same property Sec
ond time. This is literally burning the can
die at both ends, and although it may be
good thing for the Idaho officials it is death
for the packers and teamsters. The idea of
taxing property used for the purpose of
transportation, and owned elsewhere, is, we
believe, original with the Boise authorities,
and Of doubtful legality. The trouble is the
amount involved in any individual case will
not warrant the expense incident to litiga-
tiou, and 50 the teamsters and packers sub,
NIT to the imposition of tax which they
feel to be an outrage. At time when
high freights were paid and business was
fourishing, taxation of this character set
lightly and the money was cheerfully paid,
but BOW that every thing is reduced to the
lowest scale all unnecessary impositions
should be avoided. The per centage levied
on freight money by the Boise officials is,
undoubtedly, hardship, but when it comes
to taxing property that has already paid
taxes, the imposition is scarcely to be en-
dured. In matters of this kind something
of reciprocal spirit should govern. Teams
and pack-trains owned in the Boise country
are constantly coming here after freights;
tho local authorities never think of taxing
property thus brought within our limits, and
in the same spirit the Idaho officials should
repeal the law under which the tax in uues,
ton is collected. Restrictions on trade or
commerce invariably operate as tax upon
consumers, and recognizing the fact that in
the end this burden rests upon the should
ers of her own tOiling operatives, we trust
that Idaho will see the wisdom of revising
her revenue law and exempt from taxation
property owned and taxed in an adjoining
Territory.
