COUNTY AssEssMENT.-Mr. G. Ireland
County Assessor, is now engaged in making
the assessment for the current year, AID from
him we derive the following: The farmers
have sowed less wheat and barley this year
than last Greater attention is being given
to the cultivation of corn, and much larger
amount has been put in than usual Nearly
every farmer in the Valley has hogs, and
the hog crop for 1868 promises to be i'm
mense. There is also large increase in the
number of horses and cattle. The number
of settlers has also increased, thus bringing
much larger breadth of land under cult
walton. On the whole the assessment shows
gratifying progress. Last year the tax
roll fell short of 50, 100000. This wear it
will go over that figure.

ANNA DIcKINsoN.-We see it announced
that the celebrated Anna Dickinson" is
sbOut to visit the Pacific Coast. To prepare
the radical mind for the reception of Anna,
we give an extract from one of her lectures
on their favOrite candidate, General Grant,
which we find in an exchange:
"Anna stated that heretofore she had
retralned from publishing to the world the
extent of his brutality and debanchery, but
the man who went reeling to the house of
God; who passed the time of divine service
IN drunken sleep; who started to walk out
OF the gothic window ofa Washington church
mistaking it for door; who fell helpless on
the steps of his own dwellin s-that such a
miserable, degraded caricature on humanity.
should heneeforward meet with no mercy At
her hands"
AS cOrroborating the fair Anna's statement,
we ind in late Washington papers an account
of Gen. Grant appearing on the Avenue in
an intoxicated condition, and dancing "Dap.
dy Jim" on the side walk for the amusement
Off miscellaneous crowd.

TUE 1IMpEAcHMENr-Thos of our read
ers who have watched closely the progress OF
the Impeachment trial, will have noticed that
Judge Chase and certain leading Senators OF
the republican faith, are abused and denouuc-
ed for their conduct in the management OF
the impeachment trial. The Independent
referring 10 those attacks, says that those
who are more especially singled out for at>
tack in advance, are Trumbull, Fessendeu,
Morgan, Van Winkle and Freliughuysen.
The Anti- Slavery Standard and other Rad>
ical sheets have opened batteries on them.
1t is obvious to remark that these are the
very ablest men among the republicans in the
Senate, and the only Senators of that party
who have given it any character. 1t is ditl-
cult for man of intellect to pursue course
which bis conscience tells him is wrong and
indefensible, hence their attack on these
gentlemen in advance. The attack, however,
is not confined 10 them. 1t extends to Chief
Justice Chase, who is violently assailed by
the whole radical press. He is man of
fortune, holds his Office for life, and of course
does not wish to do the dirty work of q
party. Hence, this attempt to overWhelm
him with obloquy. 1t remains to be seen to
what extent, men disposed to be honest, can
be whipped into this infamous measure of
violence and unconstitutionality. The mo-
tive of this conduct is very clearly set down
as follows: "The truth is, republican Sen
atOrs and the republican party are now on
board a ship in a storm, and there is no pos
sible way of letting her into safe harbor
except through the channel of impeachment,
and that is just as apparent to Senators as to
radical agitators."

THE RAILRoAD.-Everything in relation
to the railroad is working satisfactorily, and
with the next issue of our paper, we expect
to announce that company has been formed,
and that books are open for subscriptions
Mr.. A. II. Reynolds, who has just returned
from below, informs US that great interest is
being taken in the railroad movement, and
that all the money required to build the
railroad can readily be obtained. The more
the question is examined, the more thor
oughly are the projectors of the enterprise
satisfied that Walla Walla Valley is pecu-
liarly favorably situated for building a rail-
road, and that the road completed, it will pay
large return upon the money invested.
Capitalists who had thought of investing in
the Oregon Railroad, now propose to draw
out and aid in building the Walla Walla
Railroad Another item in our favor is that
just now railroad iron rules at low figure,
thus enabling US to make the improvement on
better terms than was expected. Take it
all in all, the friends of the Railroad have
abundant reason for feeling sangune of suc>
cess. Indeed, we feel warranted in saying
that the close of 1868 will find the Railroad
very nearly if not quite completed.

SAD News FROM OwYHEE.-Dryde Nc
Clintock came to this city in hot haste on
Thursday morning, about half past 10 clock,
bearing letters from Silver City, which told
that J. Marion More had been shot, it was
feared, fatally, on the night before in that
city. On the night of Wednesday, about 9
o'clock, man named Sam. Lock khart-who
had taken sides with the Golden Chariot
owners in the late hostile affair-and Jack
Fisher, of this city-who had acted with
the Ida Elmore party-had some difficulty
in the Idaho Hotel. Mr.. More interfered
TO stop the quarrel, and was shot by Lock-
hart. The ball entered just above the pit
of the stomach and passed out of the left
shoulder. In the melee Fisher received
very bad wound in one of his thighs, and
Lockhart was shot 10 the left arm. When
the stage left Silver City Thursday morning,
Mr.. More was still alive, conversed cheer
fnlly with his friends, bad them adieu, and
was conscious of his approaching end. 1t
was feared he could survive but few hours
longer. Hill Beachey, Grayson, Lockhsrt,
and three or four others, were taken in custo-
dy. Gov. Ballard was in Silver City, and
on his requisitioa a detachment of soldiers
started from Fort Boise for the scene of &C,
ton. Great excitement prevailed.-IdahO
World
LATER.-Through private letters received
by last nights mail, we lear that Mr.. More
died about 3 o'clock, on Thursday. The
body was Immediately taken in charge by
the Masonic fraternity, of which he was a
member, for the purpose of taking it to
Idaho City for interment. They will ar
rive in Boise City to-day. Another good

FIRE CoMPANY.-In accordance to the
notice given in the last issue of the STATES
MAN, a large number of citizens met at the

tlemen were elected as officers Foreman,
Joe. Hellmuth; First Assistant, VIM. Kohl
hauff; Second Assistant, j. Bauer; Secre.
tary, j. D. Lamon; Treasurer, ]. D. Cook.
The company commences under favorable
auspices, and we see no reason why Walla
Walla should not boast of lire FIRE company.
The company meets at the Engine House
tomorrow evening, when it is expected all
the members will be in attendance

A BELLIGERANT CHINAMAN.-IIastfa fall a
Chinaman, not having the fear of law, stole
from a brother Chinaman a silver watch,
and made his escape. Nothing was heard
of the repeater or Chnaman until few days
since, when he made his appearance at Wal
lula. Deputy Sheriff Wood, knowing the
facts stated above, had warrant sworn out
and proceeded to arrest the almon-eyed in
dividual, but when on the point of arresting
him, the Chinaman drew a revolver and com
menced firing away. Mr.. W. not to be be.
hind, also drew and fired, hitting John in
the arm. This settled the matter, aud the
Chinaman concluded to give in. He was
brought to this city and placed under $500
bonds to await the next session of the Dis
trict Court.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-Frank Kenyon, for

prietor of the Deer Lodge Independent, while

RAILROAD ORGANIzATIoN'-At a meet
ing of the friends of the railroad, held this
morning, articles Of incorporation for the
Walla Walla and ColumbiS River Railroad
Company we're adopted, and Messrs. D. s.
Baker, A. H. Reynolds, ]. H. Lasater, L T.
Reese, E. Ping, A. Cox, and A. Kyger,
elected Trustees, to serve three months. The
work goes braVely on.
, 1868-04-10

REAL EsTATE.-The effect of the rails
road agitation is already seen in the improved
demand for real estate. Since our last issue
we hear Of lot of land at the lower end of
town being sold for $4,000, which a few
months back would not have commanded
$500. AT the upper end of town, we hear
of sale of a house aud lot for $1,000, which
is considered a material advance upon the
price of few weeks back Sales of real
estate are being made daily, and in every
instance at an advance. If this is the effect
when the railroad is only being talked of,
what will it be when the locomotive is heard
laundering through the Valley?
, 1868-04-10

THE REAsoN.-The Washington CORES.
pondent of the New York Evening Post gives
an account of recent conversation he has
had with prominent radical. One of the
principal reasons assigned by him for the in
peachment and removal of Mr.. johnson, was
that be was tired of passing unconstitutional
laws

EVERY TRIP of the boat from Wallula,
carries full load of produce; what with
railroad through the Valley, instead of four
steamers a week, a daily line would not be
sufficient to meet the demand.
, 1868-04-10

OPINIONS ON THE RAILRoAD-From all
quarters we hear Of no one of importance
who opposes the building of a railroad
through this Valley. A man who would op-
pose measure of thia character lacks fore.
sight, and is only to be compared to the man
who killed the goose that laid the golden
egg.

SHADE TREEs.-A number of persons
who have desired to improve their premises
in planting trees, have held back for the rea-
son that the streets and side walks have not
been surveyed, or laid out in line. A MEM
Der of the Council requests us to say that
persons can go on and plant their trees, with.
out the fear of having them molested by the
city authorities. We recommend, however,
to the property,holders, to plant their trees
in as straig ght line as possible.

BIRTH OF TWINS IN CoFFIN.-In a
German paper, published in Cincinnati, we
we find the following very tough story:
"On Thursday a we'll known lady died,
and on Saturday was placed in the vault at
the Lick Run Cemetery, it being impossible
to bury her on account of the ground being
frozen so hard. Yesterday the friends went
out to the burying ground to attend to the
interment. While there they requested the
undertaken to open the coffin, when the fact
was revealed that the lady had given birth
to pair of twns-all three were, however,
dead when discovered.

wAirsBURa. = Only those who have lately
visited this place have an idea of how rapidly
Waitsburg is assuming the proportions Of
thriving, bustling country town. The centre Of
trade for one of the best agricultural districts in
the Valley, it cannot be otherwise than pros
porous settlement. Waits mill, the original
nucleus of the town, we found busily engaged
in turning out -four, for which market is found
at Lewiston and the country beyond. The Lead
ing store in the town is kept by the Jacobson
Brothers, who are doing an active business. The
secret of their success, they tell u.s. IS that they
sell for low prices. Mr.. s. NJ. Wait also has
store, and is doing large farmers trade. The
town, in addition to the places named, boasts a
post Office, blacksmith shop, one hotel, resi-
taurant, one saloon, a carpenter shop and school
house-the last under the care of Mrs. Simmons,
a most excellent teacher. The people of Waits
burg and vicinity are among our most liberal
patrons, and hence not unlikely their prosperity.
