Some of the California papers esti-
mate the present crop of wheat in
that State at twenty million bushels.
This must be counted "big thing"
when we reflect that eighteen years
ago there were probably not twenty
thousand bushels raised in all the
territory now embraced 10 that State.

health Of our bodies, and laugh at

our funeral, every thing goes on as
usual; we are not missed on the
streets; men still laugh at our jokes,
though told by other lips; one or
two hearts feel the wounds Of afilic-

Lewiston Correspondence.
LEWISTON. Jan. 90. 1868.


Ed. STATEsMAN:-Again resume the
pen for the purpose of saying that we still
live. Aud now that We have had sDme time
to look around this City, | will endeavor to
express my opinion of this part of our Sister
Territory. 1t does not require much time
to see Lewiston, but to form any correct idea
OF its natural advantages aud resources one
must look beyond the streets of the village.
The extravagant ideas of the early settlers of
Lewiston caused the place to grow for year
or 80 beyond its permanent resources, and
as a consequence tho place now wears very
deserted appearance, and hence everybody
says Lewiston is dead and so the superb
cial observer might conclude from the many
empty houses and deserted streets. But
hnd there is much business going on, and
many are making money while others are
making 6ne homes and good livings, aud
all seem thriving and prosperous. And how
Is itI Where does this trade and business
come from Lewiston imports large stock
of goods during the season of navigation on
Snake river, and now as the season ia far
advanced many small trains are down from
Orc Fino, Florence, Elk City, and Warrens
for late supply, who find it safer to load
here than to 60 to Wala Walla. We have
Travelled the last two weeks over the coun-
try adjacent and find in addition to this
mining trade there is quite an agricultural
interest to sustain business here And l
will here remark that the Captain was again
surprised to see so much arabic land still va>
cant. Along the foot of the mountains back
from Lewiston are many small streams or
open fats containing springs in which could
be located large number of farms, and as
the treaties with the Indians have been rati,
fed we suppose much of this land will soon
be taken up aud improved, and with a little
energy on the part Of the Lewiston folks the
place may again see the life and business of
1862 and '63. So may it be, for what is
meat for these people is bread and butter for
Walla Walla.
Many old and esteemed friends met us
here aud l must say l am glad to find them
enjoying SO much health and prosperitv
along may they wave"
Hoping you still survive, 1 will "douse
my glim." Yours, respectfully,

PaospEcrs FOR THE Next SEASON

PRosPEcrs FOR THE Next SEASON.
The prospects for the next season look unuN
sually hattering so far as business matters
are concerned. We speak now only in ref
ference to this valley and of the surround
Ing country Accounts from the mines, in
every direction, agree that the coming min
ing season will bring with it an increased
demand for labor and certainty of remu
neration to employers and employees. The
quartz mills in oil the camps above and to
the eastward, will be kept constantly at
work. while the placer mines, old and new,
will be worked with a perseverance by m
immense population that cannot fail to give
4 satisfactory return in the precious metals.
New mines not heretofore worked, have
been discovered on Shasta and Willow
Creeks, and rich digging' have been dis
covered on Sweetwaterriyer, which, although
some distance of, will get portion CT its
supplies from this side Of the Rocky noun
tains. Then we have mines IN the Deer
Lodge valley which promise to give EN-,
ployment to large population. In some
of the older camps, promising discoveries
have been made These facts warrant the
belief that the next season will be a prosper
ous one to the people of this section. The
mines must be supplied with -four, beef, ba-
con, and other articles of consumption,
produced largely in the Wala Walla Valley.
Our surplus products, it is confidently be-
licved will be all worked off before another
harvest sets in This should encourage the
farmers of the valley to prosecute their la,
Dor with rigOr when blowing time sets in.
We are aware that they have had 'hard
row to hoe during the past year or two, but
the prospects for turn Of the wheel of
fortune 10 their favor look too nattering now
for them not to be encouraged to 90 ahead
with their work with renewed energy.

Our letter from Washing ton.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 20, 1868.
Senator Bulkalew to-day delivered Il
powerful speech in the Senate on the
Reconstruction question, during which
| he produced some statistics which COM
pletely upset several important points
in the speech of Senator Trumbull
made several days ago. He also show
| ed by indisputable facts and figures,
that instead of only $4,000 Southern
whites being disfranchised by the exist
ing Reconstruction acts, as represented
by Mr.: Trumbull, the number is actual
ly not less than 100000! Mr.. b. was re-
cry of his speech, by Radical Senators,
! who desired to ask questions or make
explanations; thus showing that they
felt extremely uneasy underhs irrefra-
gable logic and sc0thing condemnation.
Senator Sherman, of Ohio, in undertake
ing an explanation, frankly admitted
that he had never approved OF the act
which disfranchiscd the whites of the
South and entranchised the blacks
Yet, Senator Sherman was one of those
who voted for that act when it passed
the Senate His admission now, that
he never dpprOrcd it, is but another H.
luStration of the cOmplacent submission
with which leading Radicals have from
time to time yielded their own convic-
tions of right and justice, to the decision
or mandate of the party caucus Could
anything more clearly demonstrate the
utter untitness of these men for the po-
sition they hold?
Prominent Democrats who are here
from New Hampshire give encourage
ment to the hope that the Democracy
may carry that State at the C, ming
election. The campaign is scarcely yet
fairly opened, but it is clearly evident
that in that State, as everywhere else,
there is deep-seated dissatisfaction in
regard TO Radical legislation and Rad
ical purposes, and this dissatisfaction
will undoubtedly speak out in thunder
tones when theproper time arrives. The
result is looked forward to with intense
anxiety, by politicians here of both par
ties. 1t is said that an electiOneering
fund has been secretly raised amongthe
Radical clerks in the Departments here,
to help the waning cause. Many OF
these clerks, too, are expecting to be
permitted to so home, to assist with
their votes to carry the State against
President Johnson.
A good deal Of concern is felt here
among leading Democrats in regard to
the detection in tho Democratic ranks
III oblo' ms course OF MIR, Nalanulng-
ham, in refusing his support to Col.
burns, the Democratic candidate for
Congress, at the recent special election,
IS being severely animadvcrted upon.
Better things had been expected from
man of Mr.. V's stamp. In spite of this
disadvantage, however, Col. Burns re-
duced the Radical majority in the dis
trlct, as compared with the proceeding
Congressional election, about 200 votes
and il is believed in some quarters that,
but for Mr.. Valandingham's tergiversa-
tion, he might have been elected.-Pa-
