go ALBANY.-On recent visit TO this
place, we found business somewhat dull,
on account Of the season and the. ircleni-
ent weather, though from its favorable
location the town and country trade Is al
ways considerable. There is no city in
the State backed up by so extensive and
productive farming region as Albany
Salem, as headquarters for learning and
the State Government, has many central
lied advantages, and large trade from
two counties, but it is no disparageme6t
TO our place--which must always possess,
with the added force of its agricultural
and manufacturing, the position Of the
second town in this State--to own that
Albany is point Of nearly equal advan.
tages and importance. The two lumber
mills are kept busy to supply materials
for its growth the two Touring mills,
with capacity to turn out 300 barrels Of
-four each twenty-four hours, add to its
commercial importance, and it needs but
the impulse that railroad communication
can give to the State at large TO make
this .entcrprising town loom up as o
city Of large population and wealth.
The Magnolia Mills, Mr.. Foster says,
have been stopped for two weeks past
by high water running night and day,
these mills easily turn out 900 barrels
of flour, average work, eaeh week -
They have shipped 1000 barrels Of -four
since harvest, in addition to the amount
sold for home supply and the extensive
custom work done.
The Albany Mills, Meszrs Beach d
Montcith, arc run by steam power. and
so are independent of any common food
These mills have shipped 0.000 bar.
rels Of -four since harvest, besides that
used ut home and exchanged for wheat
as they do no custom work. These mills
seem to be admirably and conveniently
arranged, and are being worked only
about eleven hours per day. Tens o.
thousands Of bushels Of wheat have been
shipped this Fail 81 = .
Educational matters are being vel
attended TO. Albany has good schools
and handsome college building, where
instruction is given in the higher branches

some days past, we inquired what was
the matter; and we learned that he

parturient throes proved too much for
him. We learn that the patient is as
well as could be expected. 1t was a

A FAIR HIT AT GREELEY.-Prentice
of the Louisville Journal, deals the fol-
lowing square" blow at Greeley's verac-
ity-or rather his lack of it: r
Greeley says, that, "for good square
lying" he must "give the palm to the
address of the Democratic State Commit
tee of Minnesota" All, Greeley, we
know that the palm is yours to give or to
keep, but you had better hold fast to that
token of radical merit, for you are well
entitled to it-entitIed to it not only for
good square lying" but for good round
lying, good triangular lying, and good ly-
ing of every possible shape and form
Hold on to your valued "palm" with the
palms of both your hands.

POSTAL AFFAIRS. The Postal Agent,
Quincy A. Brooks, Esq, was in town
yesterday, and we learn from him that
he will soon effect some changes in the
schedule time of the mail routes through
Polk and Yamhill counties He has pow
er to make such arrangements, but not to
create any new route, nor can the Post
master General authorize a mail route
over road not created mail route by
act of Congress. He has taken the in
itiatory steps to have routes established
from Albany to Brownsville, and also to
haveaa mail carried weekly from Needy
in Clackamas county, by way of Waconda
and st. Louis to Fairfield, on the William.
ette. He is urged to remove the posi-
Office from Condit to Aumspille, in this
county; and as soon as he definitely learns
that such course will be acceptable te
the great majority of the people to be ac
commodated, he will complete the arrange
ment. Salem Record, - aH s. 5000

SAD FATE DEoIDED.-The last num-
Der Of the Audlache says:
Mrs. Denoille has been undoubtedly
murdered by the savages. A soldier from
Camp Lyon yesterday reports that the
scouts found what they deem positive evil
dence of the fact, and that she was burn-
ed to odeath about fifteen miles down Suck
er creek from where her husband was
shot. Atan old camp where a fire had
been built, long faxen hair, corresponding
to Mrs. Denoille's, was found, and human
bones. We have no other particulars
indeed, these are enough. s.

THE IDEA or RADIoALIsM.- Senator
Doolittle, in his speech at Milwaukee,
on the 2sth ult., develops the idea of
Radicalism in striking language:
"When the South yielded and ac-
knowledged the Constitution to be
supreme; and that the flag ofthe Uni
ted States was the flag to which they
owed allegiance; then up rises Thad-
deus Stevens, Charles Sumner, Benz.
Wade and other Radicals of the north
to proclaim anew the idea of the Sc
cessionists, viz: the Constitution is no
longer the supreme law of the land in
the States of the South; that we do
not hold the States of the South by
constitutional authority; that we hold
them by the sword and the sword
alone; not under the Constitution,
but outside the Constitution, by a
power which is above the Constitu-
tion. That is the idea of the radical
ism. 1t is not only akin to, but is
identical with the idea of secession.
1t is the escense of rebellion against
the Constitution of the United States.
Whether it is asserted by Jefferson
Davis at the South or by Thaddeus
Stevens at the North, it is a new re.
bellion against the Government ofthe
United States.

GES. GRANT.-Some of the Radicals
are trying quite hard to create some
enthusiasm in favor of Grant. Al
ready he is supported for President by
several Radical papers in Oregon
We trust he may be nominated by the
Mongrel Convention, and then we
hope the Democratic Convention will
nominate some statesman like lloratio
Seymour, of New York, or Pendleton
of Ohio. If this shall be done, Grant
will suffer more more mortifying de-
feat than Napoleon did at Waterloo.
His reticence will avail him nothing.
Grant forcibly reminds us of the man,
with two wives, in Esop's fables =
which is as follows:
In days when a man was allowed more wives
| than one, a middle-aged bachelor, who could be
called neither young nor old, and whose hair was
| only just beginning 10 turn gray, must needs
| fall in love with two women at once, aud marry
| them both. The ono was Young and blooming
| and wished her husband TO appear as youthful as
| herself The other was somewhat more advanced
in age and was as anxious that her husband should
appear q suitable match for her. So, while the
young one seized every opportunity of pulling ou
the good mans gray hairs, the old one was as in
dustrious in plueking out every black hair shS
/ could find. For while the man was highly graft.
fed by their attention aud devotion, till ho found
one morning between the one and the other he had
not hair left.
/ He that submits his principles to the inaueueC
and capyices Of opposite parties viii end in having
no principles At all.
If Grant does not soon divorce one
or the other of his party wives, he
will not have political hair left in
the next twclyemonth.

THE TEST OATH.-It will be rcmcm-
bered that Francis P. Blair, jr., was
not permitted to vote because he re-
fused to take the test oath. He APP
pealed to the Missouri Supreme Court,
and that tribunal declared the test
oath unconstitutional, thus sustaining
Blair. Whenever and whatever the
measures of the mongrels are fairly
brought to the test of law the decis-
ion is against them.
