PROF CHARLES w. WALKER Of Mill
vile, advertises in the Republican for
wife. He says: "An excellent single
lady who will make him an excellent
wife, is earnestly invited to correspond,
or call and converse with him, with re-
ference to marriage. To receive atten-
ton, genuine Photograph of the lady
must be enclosed"
Here Is rare chance for the ladies,
especially for those of the radical per-
suasion, for being himself radical, and
advertising only in radical paper, We
fear Democratic ladies are left out in the
cold.
Though he does not expressly say so
we think 1t clear enough that widow,
are embraced in this word single, ant
thus the contest is open to all wh'
think they will make him an excellen
wife; old and young, big or little, fat o
lean, ugly or otherwise. We expect t
see great rush for Millville,to find on
whether the Professor Is likely TO maxi
an excellent husband.

THE Teachers Institute of this Coun.
ty met in the hall of the Bloomsbury
Literary Institute on last Monday, in
pursuance Of call Of the County Su-
perintendent. Last Winter the I.egis-
lature passed an act intended to foster
such gatherings by providing means
for the payment Of class instructors, &c.,
but it was fatally defective in not max
ing the attendance of teachers conp,H-
sorry.
The attendance is very slim, and there
is not near the numbers and enthusiasm
that attended these gatherings several
years ago. Our local teachers and the
Superintendent have done all they can
to make the meeting instructive and in
teresting, but will, as q rule, require
new men from abroad-men OF reputa-
tion-in order to draw and attract the
whole body OF teachers. The real 1.-Two
teacher may not need such inducements,
but the fact is, men Of that stamp soon
slide into occupations that prove far
more remunerative.
We presume the Secretary will fur.
nish us with minute of the proceed
ings, which we will spread before our
readers next week.

THOMPSON RIVER, April 25th, 1867.
DEAR SrR:-we have not got any further than
this river as yet We had an awful time of it,
in the snow; our animals got caught 10 it, aud
we had to make shovels Of cedar, and shovel a
trail. One mile we worked from three o'clock
of one morning until half.past one the next,
without stopping, except for meals; and if we
had not got few hours frost toward morning,
the horses would be there yet, as we could not
save them. am writing this so that you eau
have the earliest information of tae diRRings. on
vermillion Greek. When we got here, we met
about one hundred and fifty men coming from
Jocko, and among them were the party of men
that left Bear Gulch last August From what
| can learn from them they found a little gold in
the top gravel, but not enough to pay We
went to the reputed diggings with the crowd, or
at least with part of them, as twelve or fourteen
stole away, in the night, and had laws made
and a town laid out when we got there.
Toe prospeciors have all their friends 10 the
best locations, and if they have not a Camp
there, they are the biggest fools or biggest
knaves in the country. All the men that are
there, up to the present time, are Irish. The
Greek they are ou is called Mink Greek; they
have also staked off two gulches, Martin and
Granite. The city is Volcano City. So you see
| everything looks like as if they struck il. 1t is
impossible TO prospect the Greek yet, but e1.
pect the Clutches will be prospected in a short
time. 1t is the best looking country for gold |
have seen in long time. 1t is going to make
walla Walla a place if there is a camp here
I know, the men are all hard working men, and
| think they tell tue truth about the place. A
man can get the color anywhere on the bars, It
sure sign that there is paying gold somewhere
above. l located claim there that was re.
corded under n fictitious name, and McMahou
another. He is on the diggings yet had t.
come out with the horses. If fMcMahon bring:
anything new, | will let you know when gel
to MissUula' ] expect him out to-day, and If he
arrives, we will be on our claims in four dayi
from now AS the road is good RoBr. BooTH

found the Declaration of Principles" ;" put
forth by those who dissent from the action
Of the late Democratic County Convention.
What effect, if any, this movement will
have Oh the canvass remains to be set n.
The address is certainly plausible, and in
many respects com nendS itself to general
approval. The address has called forth u
counterbllst, 10 which a correspondent
handles the author Of the Declaration, y
its aiders and aud abettors, without gloves
Should the discussion go on, We trIst that
all parties will keep cool, aud as far as pos
sible, avoid personalities. The column. oil

temperalely written communications on
both sides, but whenever writers descend
TO personal abuse, they will be d, MED a

ment, aud that abuse is calculated 10 ipjurr

before known the crops in this valley to
look so uupromising at this season of the
year. Grain sown Eve or six weeks since,
as yet shows no signs of life, and fears are
felt that the coming harvest will prove a
failure. Our Salt Lake exchanges speak Of
the crops in that locality as unpromising,
and the opinion is expressed that the Saints
will have scarcely sufficient grain to meet
the local demand. In view Of short crous
the coming harvest, it becomes quite certain
that within the next sixty days there must
be material advance in the price Of bread
stubs. Those who have held on to last
JeArS crops are more than likely TO realiIs
good prices.

TIE PRosPEcT.-An old aud tried demo
crat, who has just completed tour of the
county, writes us as follows: "Frank Clark
will carry Walla WaIla county by more than
the usual democratic majority-the figures
will certainly run up to 200, and think it
safe to place the estimate at 25O." It is
possible that the 'bOli," inaugurated iu this
city, may tend to weaken the ticket, but
with one ticket or half dozen tickets 10 the
fields, the conviction is, that Frank Clark
will obtain an overwhelming majority.
