On TIKI WRONG TRAcK.-The Boise Dem
ocrat Of last Saturday says that several parties
propose to go to the Willow Greek mines from
Boise Valley. II the parties want to find good
mining, proven and known to be so, let them
come to this Basin. The new mining ground
which will this year be brought under labor
along the route of Ben. Wilson g. Co.'S Big
Ditch. rs now freshly extended, and the large
extent Of other mining groaad which will give
profitable employment to hundreds of white
miners--not Chinamen-for the FIRST time, on
the opening Of the close approaching mining
season, offer inducements which cannot be
found elsewhere.

Mr.. Sterling himself to clear up, in the same

performance of duty, and we shall await o

WORTHY OF ArrENTIoN.--Wec clip the fol-
lowing from the Owyhee Avalanche Of last
Saturday: a
In less than year from this time the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad will be completed to
somewhere in the vicinity Of the mouth OF the
little Humboldt. A road can be built from Sill
YER City direct to connect with the railroad
somewhere between Winncmucka and the
Golconda mine. Such road would be OF in
calculable benefit to the business men OF Owy.
hee; it would very materially reduce the price
of freight, make living cheaper, ard conse-
quently render our mines more profitable; be.
sides it would place US within one days stage
travel Of the railroad. The route has been
lacked out by Sam Lockhart and others. and
has been found to be practicable; but 1t is es-
timated that il will cost $4,000, which could
not fail to be safe and profitable investment.
Let our citizens take the matter 10 hand and
build q good road next summer. Get up a
joint stock company. We know one geutle-
man who has faith enough in the enterprise to
give 5000 towards putting it through. Meet
the railroad next fall, bring the freight and
travel this way, and the business facilities OF
Owyhec will be greatly augmented.
We can safely add. the road will be Of great
benefit also to Idaho City business men, and to
all who travel hence to California.

MORE CRIMINAL NoNsENsE.-Fron the
Lewiston Journal Of Feb. 9th we learn that
orders have reached Mr.. James O'Nrill. Indian
Agent ut the Lapwai, to take on to Washing
ton in short time, Lawyer, head Chief of the
Nez Perces, and three other Chiefs, to be Sc
lected by Lawyer, to have certain treaty mat
tiers arranged there by these Indians and the
Government. This is but another chapter in
TIE absurd and almost criminal farce of treat
ing with savages, as practiced by the Govern
ment. While we do not include Mr.. O'Neill
in our stricturcs-because we know him to be
a gentleman of integrity and high worth-we
do mean tn say that the present system of
treating with Indians, and Of providing for
them on Reservations, results in benefit and
profit only to the Agents and contractors and
hangers-on generally, and is productive of
much evil and danger and loss to all the white
settlers end residents for miles around the
Reservations. The system of treaty besides
does this-it allures the Indians to acts of vi
olence, plumber and massacre, against oil whites
who fall in their way, until the Government
buys them to desist for time. by paying them
large sums Of money, giving them bountiful
presents, and furnishing them with the most
approved firearms and ample supplies Of am-
munition ostensibly to hunt game, really to
use against the white cmigrants and settlers
and prospectors. The system is founded on a
H.
mawkish hunanitarianism, Of great regard for
the red race ut the. hands of the descendants
in Congress, Of the very people who, in the
early days of settlement of the country, stole
from the Indians the lands to build upon, and
killed them off without actual cause and with
out mercy but now, their own portion Of the
Union not being cursed or endangered by the
savages. they affect astonishing sympathy foI
the "noble red man." and corresponding dis
regard for the protection or life Of the white
i emigrant or settler, and arc never weary Of
generating the numbering savages from all
blame, and Of loading their white victims with
all the censure. after any horrible and unpro
yoked massacre by the former Of the latter hal
been perpetrated on the Plains. or IN frontier
settlements. When the Government will be.
gin TO teach the Indians that for, every white
perscni wantonly batchered BY them, Indian
life must surely pay che forfeit and that fol
every plupderins raid severe punishment will

1t will be seen from the following extract
from the New York Worlds four column re-
port of its correspondents conversation with
the President that he is meditating very Sc
rious line of conduct if the Supreme Court
decides the Nc Ardle case as he expects it
will:
After a short pause, / took the liberty of
calling the Presidents attention to a matter
having indirect relation to the subject in
hand.
''The final argument in the Nc Ardle case is
to be begun and perhaps concluded, tomorrow
in the Supreme Court What fortunate
thing it would be, according to most accounts
if the Court could render it's decision upon
that case before the writ served upon the
President is made returnable.
"Too short time for such decision am a.
fraid. But" continued the President Il sup
pose the Court would feel itself lound, IN
consideration of the Importance of the ci Sc,
to render a decision upon 1T Withn lhree

val between the answer othe summons anu me

is even hinted that if the decision OF the SUI

idept might find himself authorized TO remove

EIapie Sugar Making in Aroo.,ooL.

PELHAM PLANTATION, March 6, 1868.
To the Editor of the Press.
The writer's experience in sugar-making is
limited,' but he will try and give some facts in
relation to the business in this county. But
few lots tit for settlement are destitute of a
first class sugar orchard, and quite laree e
amount is made every spring which sells
readily in our market at from Is to 25 cents a
pound, but not enough is made to supply the
market.
In the spring ofdS62 tapped 100 trees,
using troughs for catching the sap, but did
not lave very good success, as troughs piu
leak, and sometimes they are found wrong
side up. In the spring of 1866, in compan,
with others, tapped some over 600 trees,
using buckets, and as the result of two weeks
run made about 400 pounds of sugar or
about IL pounds 20 the bucket. In 1867
we made about the same amount per bucket,
hut the snoro-,-ie-aaS ,--------
some of my neighbors made more than 3
pounds per bucket.
We usually commence tapping about the
first of April, sometimes as early as the 2Oth
OF Marcn, and hnish boiling in April. We
use buckets made of pine which cost about
25 cents each, and gather them up with hand
sleds principally. Our sugar house house is
20x24 feet and built to accommodate 1900
trees. We now use four evaporating pans
2x6 feet and six inches deep, set in brick
arches, with 22 feet Of chimney. We use
from 20 to 55 cords of dry cedar wood each
season.
For 'sugaring off," we use,a 80 gallon STAR
mers' boiler" which think is the best kind
of kettle tor that purpose. We put the sugar
into tubs holding shout 250 pounds, and af-
ter it has cooled, drain it, which leaves it
about the color of coffee sugar, when it brings
from 20 to 25 cents pound. The molasses
sells for about dollar gallon. The whole
cost for fitting up for sugar place of thou
sand trees is not far from S700.
Yours, EX Typo.

A HIGH CoMPLISiENT.-In the rec ent let
ter of Earl Russell to Mr.. Chichester For
tesque, on Irish affairs occurs the following
graceful allusiou to Mr.. Gladstone:
For the great task of paciJ ing ireland, by
Just and riehtt Gus measures, man is re-
quired, not affected with the weakness OF age
but vigorous with the strength OF manhood,
having seat in the House of Commons, and
possessing its coincidence. Mr.. Canning
possessed that confidence from the power o.
MS oratory, and the generosity of his foreign
policy. Lord Althorp Possessed that conf
dence, not from his eioquence as an orator,
FIR he was no orator, but from his transparent
honesty and liberal principles, When Lord
Grey obtained from the King sufficient secur-
ity for carr, ing the Retm Bill, Lord AL
thorp said, Il Ieel full assurance that we
can carry the Reform Bill in its integrity. j
cannot give you the grounds of thai assur-
ance. but | trust the House has sufficient
confidence in me 10 accept my word.' When
Lord Althorp arrived at the words confidence
in me- there was such a shout in the House
OF Commons as | never heard before or since.
1t, then, we can find man with the brilliant
oratory OF Canning, and the sterling houesy
OF Althorp, 1t is TO such man that the des
tiny ofthls country and the prospects of Ire
land ought TO be consigned. The University
OF Oxford, overfiowing with bgotry, might in
deed reject such man, but | feel persuaded
that the great county OF Lancaster would
never fail him. nor would the country at large
cease to celebrate his pure and Immortal
tame
