A GROWL AT MOOSE CREEK,

The following communication is written by a
gentleman who is we'll known in this Valley,
and although his statements differ widely from
reports in relation to the Moose Greek mines, we
yet deem it proper to give them to the public:
PIERCE CRY, l. T., June 2, 1869.
EDITOR STATESMAN Please allow me to cor
rect a statement made my Mr.. O'Nei in regard
to the Moose Creek mines. He stated that be
had been to Moose Creek, and found it to be a
rich and extensive camp. This statement is en-
tirely false in every particular. Mr.. O'Neil
never was there and knows nothing of the mines
whatever. Moose Creek is not rich, neither is
it extensive-the best claims are scarcely paying
wages and the whole camp will not number over
forty claims that pay anything at all, and even
these cannot be worked but a short time longer
on account of water. bitches are being brought
in, but it will take all summer tq complete
them. Before the claims were opened the prss-
poets were very lattering one, twol three and
even twenty dollars was got to the pan, but the
leads, after working, have proven To he very
narrow and spotted, and fall short Of the ex>
pectations of every one. The basin is low, yet
diggings are well up to the head of the gulches,
making naural water scarce. The largest weeks
work yet made was 4S ounces to two men, and
the largest nugget $ll7. The distance from this
place to Moose Creek is about forty miles, and
from Moose Creek to Hellgate valley about the
same. Provisions have been very scarce this
spring, but when left, few days since, teams
were coming in from both sides.

UNKIND.-A late issue of the Portland
Herald has a reference to Gov Moore that
may be fairly characterized as uukiud In
the late canvass Gov. Moore bore himself
gentlemanly, and gave great satisfaction to
the democratic party. His defeat was owing
not to any fault OF his own, but to the tre-
me1dsous frauds prActiced by tho radicals
In Jefferson and Kitsap counties, where col.
onizing from British Columbia was practiced
upon an extensive scale. When the coun
try needed his services Gar6elde fed to Britt
ish Columbia, aud now British Columbia re.
turns the compliment by electing Garfelde
10 Congress. Against an influence OF this
kind no democrat could have successfully
eonteuded, and where Moore went down any
other man would been swamped.

STANToH's TREAsoN.-It will recolecieh
that some months ago there was a controver-
sy about the>sentiments Of Mr.. Stanton at or
about the time Of the breaking out of the
rebellion, relative to the merits of the issue
between the North and the South. On the
one hand il was alleged that Mr.. Stanton was
10 full sympathy with the Southerners, that
he said encouraging words to certain U. s.
military officer who had determined to esq
pouse the Southern cause that the enthus-
iastically indorsed the course determined
upon by ex-senator Brown, and gave him a
God speed as he left the United States Sen
ate to go over to the Southern Confederacy,
etc. On the other band it was by the friends
of Mr.. Stanton, but never by himself, denied
that he was in sympathy with the rebellion
at tho commencement thereof, etc. etc. On
this subject another and more perfect proof
has turned up. A letter is extant written by
Mr.. Stanton to gentleman in the West,
wherein the Carnot of the war in unqualified
terms expresses his approval of the stand
taken by the South and his sympathy with
their struggle. The letter is dated after the
attack upon Sumpter and after The date of
the melee between the Baltimoreans and
members of the massachusetts, troops when
the latter were passing through Baltimore
en- route for Washington in 1861.

; A RAKINa FIRE.-The Oregonian is
terribly severe on the Federal officers in
Washington Territory, and charges them
with "having entered into conspiracy to
defeat the republican party at the late cleo.
tion." 1t says:
1.-THE parties to this conspiracy were, Governor
Flanders, Judge Dennison, Collector Wilson,
Deputy Collector Barnard, Assessor Howe, Mar
shal Ritz, and some others who hold subordinate
positions. They operated in connection with A
A. Denny, late Delegate to Congress, and other
played out politicians; they visited many places
in the Territory for the purpose of organizing q
movement that would defeat the republican par
ty, and dispatched agents and letters in every
direction to do their perfdious work."
1t proceeds to say that the pretence for
this detection was that Mr.. Garfelde's
record as Union man did not entitle him to
the support of the party, and that he re-
ceived his nomination by fraudulent means"
The OreyOnian next proceeds to eulogize
the services Garfelde has rendered the rad
ical party, and then furnishes a sketch Of
Denny and Flanders, in which those gentlet
men are happily showed up. 1t says:
/" Four years ago the Republicans of WASH
iugton Territory nominated man named Denny
for Congress. He hadn't ability to make a
canvass for himself and was obliged to get Mr..
Garfede to do it for him. The principal feature
Of Mr.. Dennys Congressional career was an
exercise of economy which enabled him to live
at Washington City on crackers and cheese for
two dollars and half a week and hoard every
cent of his pay and mileage to build little saw
mill on the Sound. That was his only achieve.
ment Two years ago man named Flanders
was nominated. He also was obliged to call on
Garfelde to make the canvass for him. Flanders
represented the Territory by managing to get
himself arrested for debt, and gave his coustitu-
ents wide uotoriety as people who had sent a
Harold Skimpole to Congress. Flanders fame
rests entirely on the celebrity thus acquired;
and we may add here that he owes enough in
Portland, which he appearantly don't intend to
pay, to keep him in Jail for the rest of his natu,
raj life, if be ever ventures within the jurisdiction
of Oregon, which be probably will never do.
These two ex>Delegates to Congress, for whom
Mr. Garfelde stumped the Territory and whose
election be was largely instrumental in securing,
rewarded him by conspiring with the Democrats
to defeat him in the late election. Mr.. Garfede
was good enough Union man when he was
canvassing the Territory for them and trying to
make their insignifcance respectable in the
estimation of the people but when he became
a candidate himself, his record was too bad for
them to support him /"
The article concludes with a reference to
Marshal Ritz" (our little Philip, in which
it is stated that Walla Walla's great man
"was in Portland on the day of election, and
refused to 60 across the river to vote" This
refusal is characterized as a "dodge," and
the parties are assured that this conduct will
"meet the reward it deserves" s"-which means
that Garfelde will have every mothers son
of them turned out of Office
