relation to the late foodin the western por.
tion of this Territory
'The people of the river. counties have just
been visited by one of the most destructive floods
known to any resident of the Territory. We
learn from all quarters of the loss of property
and stock, but fortunately not of human life
The Daily Tribune, of yesterday, has information
that every building in Monticello has been swept
away. The lunatic asylum which was reported
to have gone still remains. That paper repre-
sents that the entire valley of the Cowlitz as
deplorable wreck. Fences and buildings in all
directions have been swept away by the resist>
less food; and the people who were in compar>
atively good circumstances prior to this great
calamity, now are reduced to the utmost power
ty. The bridge at Claquato has been totally
destroyed by the food. No other damage rer
ported in that vicinity. The White, Duwamish
and Black rivers were reported FIVE feet higher
than ever known before. Messrs. j. P. Stewart,
A. NJ. Miller and others, have suffered much
damage. The Nsqually bridge was carried away
and the banks of the river washed away above
and below the site of the bridge. Mr., Gove's
loss is severe, and Mr.. Shazer has lost 100 head
of sheep, hogs, hay, etc. The telegraph has
been carried away north and south of here; and
it is, therefore, impossible to sum up the aggre-
gate damage until communication is resumed.

MAN WoRsHIP.-The mongrel party, if

another, it is to that of man>worship. Lin.
coin, while he lived, was the idol of the par>
ty, and it is questionable whether the AL
mighty himself, during, that period received
half so much praise from its members, as was
awarded to the Sangamon chief-old Abe
The sainted, martyred, lOng>legged Lincoln
made his exit one night, and his negro pets
at the South, were thought worthy to be
idolized instead. All the favors the party
had to bestow, were showered without stint
upon the black and lecherous borde-the
relicts of the Lincoln dynasty. And now,
another idol is to be set up in the person of
General Grant He is everywhere being
lauded with that fulsome, soul sickeniug
praise which the mongrels so lavishy bestow
upon their idols. The black idol has become
undopular, even with portion of this idol
atrous party, and Grant will hereafter be
idolized in conjunction with Sambo. Well,
worshippers of mammon, spread it on, go it
while you can, for the days of your power
and wickedness are numbered Your idols
will be broken and your power for mischief
will be circumvented.

Iauiston Correspondence.

LEWISTON, l. T., Dec. 27, 1867
EprroR STATESMAN AFTER enjoying a good
nights sleep, and another pass at the dining
room of the City Hotel, we left Waitsburg under
the auspices of pleasant day. Travelling up
the Touchet two or three miles through some
very fine and we'll improved farms, we turned to
the left up q raVine on the direct road to Lewis,
ton. This ravine has wide bottoms and rich
sloping hill-sides, offering some more hne opens
inVs for farming and stock raising. We also no.
ticed some excellent sites for orchards and vine>
wards. Passing over the divide we soon arrived
on MILESTONE Greek. This is a small spring
creek heading near the Tucannou, and running
westerly to the Touchet The road follows up
this creek about nine miles. The bottoms are
from one to three fourths of mile wide of excel
lent land the hills are low aud slope gently TO
the bottoms, and as usual, covered with supe-
rior growth of grass. There are on this stream
some four or Eve fine farms, one of which, belong
ing to Messrs. Baker l. Bailey, is improved and
cultivated to exceed anything in the country.
The Captain says there is for at least fifteen
or twenty fine farms more on this stream. The
Tucanon is quite large stream, heading in the
Blue Mountains and running through very
deep canyon to Snake river. There are many
good farms on this stream under cultivation, but
for stock we don't like it so well it takes too
much climbing for the grass Seven miles over
the table land we struck the Pataha, up which
the road runs about twelve miles. The hills are
rather abrupt, but grazing is good and the bot
toms are wide enough for good farms. There
are three or four well improved farms on this
stream one owned by Mr.. Pomeroy, is fine
place. Here we saw some hogs, as are hogs !;
thorough bred Suffolk and Essex also, some
fine cattle. Mr.. P. is paying much attention to
fne stock. He has the purest blood that can be
had on this coast He believes that good stock
pays better than poor and am of the opinion
that be is right. For the benefit of the hungry
we will remark, that Mrs. Pomeroy pays as much
attention to good grub, as does Mr.. P. to fine
stock. Leaving Pataha, seven miles brings us
to the Alpowa; this stream is in very deep
canyon and flows nearly east into Snake river
There is very little arabic land on this stream
and the mountains too steep for good grazing
facilities. The road follows down the creek to
its mouth, and up the bank of Snake river three
miles to Mr.. Silcot's ferry, where we were safely
landed on the other side; six miles more, and
we arrived at the Clearwater ferry, aud were
soon landed in the city of Lewiston. As this is
place of some importance, the Captain says we
had better rest for the present. OBSERVER

On Tuesday evening, tho 2lst ultimo,
Messrs. Earnest Ptichsrdt, Ferris Fl. Potter,
Samuel B. Kathrins, James Montgomery,
Zaptha, and Rice, American merchants,
who were prOmenading the principal streets
of Monterey, were arrested 10y squad Of the
city police, by order Of Gov Davila. They
were flung into verminous dungeon which
contained about 20 of the very scum and
dregs Of Mexican lepro criminals and vaga.
bonds, and after night of horrors two of
their number were ordered to carry ont and
empty tub containing the accumulated
offal of the preceding twenty. y.four hours
They naturally refused to obey this beastly
order, whereupon the jailor bade convict
ed felon to cnwhide them, and :n executing
his command he cut through the gentle
mans clothing and drew blood.
Fearing that they might be flogged to
death, the gentlemen dismissed their scru.
Piles and performed the meniai task. Then
tb ir four companions were forced to take
brooms and clean the cell and court yard
of the prison, the degraded and brutal Jail
ors, meantime, heaping upon them every
epithet of abuse which their groveling
brains could conceive. The prisoners, hav.
ing been taken before the Alcaide, were
fined $40 each; but this sum they were un.
able to pay on the spot, their captors having
robbed them before committing them to the
dungeon, Mr. Ultich, our Consul, obtained
their release, but he could get 60 further
satisfaction. General Escobedo, who was
in the city, was appealed to, but be paid no
heed, while the populace, as the prisoners
were walking to the Jail, shouted, Death
to Americans !" A Mexican gentleman
who was promenading with the Americans,
was arrested, but he was released at the pri.
son gate. He hastened to the Governor 8
palace to see Davills, but when he pressed
upon that dignitary the release of the pri.
soners, lie was again put under arrest and
held in the palace until the following morn
ing. The American Consul has sent to
Secretary Seward report of the indiguity.
