FHoM OWYHEE.-From the Balloon and
AeGldnche of last week we get the following:
The miners strike has failed and work is
being resumed iR the mills
The Orc Elmo mine has resumed work with
hands employed by the day and contract both,
and the prospect for good yield in coming
''clean ups" is more fattering than ever.
Col FOCUS & Co. are pushing work on their
mine with energy. They have sunk double
shaft of over fifty feet and have paying
ledge 0f0Ver three feet in width.
Work on the Poorman mine was stopped
bnt is again resumed in the same manner as
the Orc Elmo.
Wages are likely to resume their old stand
ARDS per day,-and many of the strikers
have left the camp. Business is improving
and already six mills are again at work. No
laboring man need lay idle.
Awriter in the AuGlancke, dating letter at
Deadwood District Oct. I'd, says snow had
not at that time interfered with mining; that
two large bitches were being brought in; that
while many were leaving others were prepar-
ing for Winter and intending to remain, and
that they had been favored with two earth
quakes.
The District Court, Judge Cummins presi-
ding, begun it's session on Monday, Oct. 14th.

PATRICK HENRY.-A curious and hitherto
unpublished manuscript of Thomas Jefferson,
appears in recent number of the Philadel-
phia dga Mr.. jefferson speaks of Patrick
Henry in the following terms: Mr. Henry
began his career with very little property.
He acted, as / have understood, as barkeeper
in the tavern of Hanover, c. HI. for some
time; he married very young and settled, |
believe, at place called Roundabout, in Lou
lisa, got credit for some little store of merchan-
disc, but very soon failed From this he turned
his views to the law, for the acquisition or
practice of which he was too lazy. Whenever
the courts were closed for the winter season,
he would make up party Of poor hunters of
his neighborhoOd; would go off with them to
the piny woods Of Fluyanna, and pass weeks
in hunting deer, of which he was passionately
fond: sleeping under tent, before a fire,
wearing the same shirt.all the whole time, and
covering all the dirt of his dress with hunt
ing shirt He never undertook to draw plead
ings if he could avoid it, or to manage that
part of cause, and very willingly engaged
but as an assistant to speak in the case. And
the fee was an indispensable preliminary, OBJ
serving to the applicant that he kept no ac-
counts, never putting pen to paper, which was
true. His powers ever jury were SO ire
sistible that he received great fees for his SER
vices, and had the reputation of being insatia-
BILE in money.

CAUGHT THEM-A gunsmith in Jackson,
Michigan, was much troubled with attempts
of burglars to rob him. He finally got tired
Of it and concluded to set "gun trap" for
them. At first he loaded with only powder
and scared the thief away next with fine shot,
which both scared and bled the scamp; the
last time with buck-shot, and put out the light
of an old Penitentiary convict, since which
time he hasn't been bothered much.

a CORRESPONDENT of the Oregonian, in a
letter from Express Ranch, on Burnt river,
gives the following particulars of the late In
dian tragedy on that stream:
'Mr. Scott was shot with piece of iron an

FROM MoNTANA.-From the Post of Oct

FROM MoNTANA.-From the Post of Oct.
9TH we take the following:
Cold weather has made its appearance in
the mountainous portion of the Territory
An attempt to burn Virginia City was de-
tected just in time to prevent its success. The
water works were clogged, fine breeze was
blowing and merry time would have ensued.
Cheyenne is creating an excitement Many
are leaving the mines of Montana for the hope
of something better in change at Cheyenne.
4 All fears of a robbing band being organized
from deserving militia have subsidid. They
are being regularly mustered out and are seek
ing proper employments.
Wilson, who was hung by the Vigilantes OF
Montana is said to have made full confession,
duplicating good many citizens, of various
portions of the Territory; said he would rather
be hung by the Vigilantes than fall into the
hands of his own party, jumped from the
block and thus became his own executioner.
A correspondent of the Post, writing from
Reynolds City, says the late fire consumed the
best buildings in the place and the largest part
of the town, and that it will never be rebuilt
A sufficient number of houses still remain for
the use of residents. 1t is the only town
which has suffered from fire in Montana.

VICTORIA, v. IA few years ago Victoria,
landowners Island, was a place of much
prominence on the coast--more so than any
other north of San Francisco. Frazer River,
Carriboo, and the mines of the Upper Column
bia gave to the place all its Importance, which,
of late, has much fallen off in proportion as
the mines are known to have failed. A cor
respondent writing to the Portland Oregonian,
after describing the town, says:
The greater part of the Americans have
left. It getting to be too slow a place for
them. Enough of them are still there, how
ever, to make the place little "spicy' occa-
sionally Victoria overestimated the extent
and richness of her mines so much that she
''outgrew herself" Being free port, also had
tendency to make and enlarge business
now that is abolished There is duty on al
most every article that is brought there, and
on many things it is very high. On all articles
grown or made in Oregon and Washington
Territory, especially, the duty is very large.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer says that, under
preteuce of love for the soldier, the people of
Ohio were taxed some 100000 to support the
widows and orphans of the soldiers who were
killed in the war. The taxes were paid but
never reached the said widows and orphans.
The Radical State officers, says our cotempo-
rary, diverted the money to another purpose,
and the widows and orphans of the soldiers
were left to hunger and rags. This thing of
love for the soldier has been played upon by q
set of Radical demagogues about as long as it
can be made available for purposes of CHI

New ORLEANS, IA, April 9th, 1867,
have made my first sea VOYAGE have
been on the "Iolling wave not on the "bil-
Lowry Deep We had only II gentle Gee
wind during the trip aud the gallant ship,
Morgan, rolled mnicsicnlly and gracefully;
and although she did not "hCuvc, DER the
bounding wave" some Of her fair cargo,
too fond of n tilt could not restrain hedrc,
and the supper table with all its rich and
snvory dishes could not lure them from the
stately game.
Indeed, feeling little stately myself,
| sought my statc-IoOm rs soon as supper
was over, although it was not dark, and
was soon rocked to sleep ION the rolling
deep and lost to all sense Of misfortune.
The Houston and New Orleans direct
line is in operation, by very fair class OF
boats plying between Beaumont and Bra
shear City. BY this route We avoid sea-
sickness, save some expense and make q
little time. The exact distance from Beau
mont to BrOshcnr City by land, the line
upon which this rail road connection is to
be made, have not ascertainCd hut long
or short, the gap will soon be built aud the
road complete from. N,w'0. leans % IIQus
ton. Nearly all of Ibis route is over low,
fiat, swampy country, much Of it covered
with timber of the finest quality for build
ing fencing, &C.. and when this road is
finished, and our Houston & Texas Central
is extended TO Dallas, we will reap great
advantages from the use of this timber and
the owners will reapa great profit.
1t is singular to see the waters in all
those bayous so much above the level of The
lands, and it is often great misfortune
A Bayou Lafoulehe we found crevasse
about half n mile below the Railroad, and
the country TOR miles inundated the wa
ters rushing over the track with fearful
force, rendering the passage extremely
dangerous. The farmers are, of course,
greatly retarded in planting, if not entire
ly prevented for the season. The crcvasscs
on the river, are most distressing. From
delays occasioncd by the Overlooking of the
track, we dill not reach the city until after
dark.
BY the time I was fairly on the cars,
was wholly sold ont, and hence, having bar
gained myself away, bag and baggage, |
was free from all care, confident Of being
delivered, in good order and condition, at
the place to which ! had been consigned,
and having chosen my place and given
proper directions, found myself safely
stored in on elegant chamber of the St.
James Hotel. l came here Mt the sugges-
tions of my friends, and am highly graf
fled, and greatly obliged to them. | have
visited the other hotels and am satisfied
none of them surpasses this in order, at
tention, convcnienccs and comforts Of eve
ry kind.
There seems to be no business of conse-
ounce doing among the merchants. The
political condition of the country the
breaking of the lcvces on the river and the
consequent ruin of many planters, and the
danger of an overflow of the city, creates
an anxiety that absorbs the attention ofall
and bUaincss is almost wholly suspended.
Yours. c.
