Letter From the Capital.
SALEM, Dec. 18th, 1869.

- SALEM, Dec. 18th, 1869.
Within the past week we have had moth
ing OF an exciting character to stir the
blood of the citizens of our quiet place.
Everything seems to be lying dormant
waiting for Spring to open before active
operations are inaugurated.
MANUFACTURING.
The factories in and about Salem, with
the exception of the Woolen Mills, are
turning out the usual amount of articles
in their lines. The numbering mills are
filling up their yards with lumber for the
Spring trade, and the Touring mills are
preparing wheat for the consumption of
the people AT the Salem Foundry and
Machine Shop, B. F. Drake, proprietor,
several new and original machines are be-
ing put up, among which may be men
toned several ssstickers" for sash, door
and blind factories two or three large
sssurface planers" for wood, the patterns
for which are being made here. A new
brick machine is also being made at the
same shop, for use at the State Peniten-
tiary. This machine is different from
any heretofore constructed, and is supe-
rior in many respects to the one now used
at the prison. A patent on the new ma
chine will be applied for.
CORPORATIONS.
A company of four persons from Port
land, filed articles Of incorporation with
the Secretary of State, of tho "Work-
ingmen's Joint Stock Company of Port
land" The object of this corporation is
to engage in the purchase, sale, renting,
etc, of real estate in Oregon and else
where. The capital stock is $4,000.
This company is similar in its objects to
| the Salem Homestead Company, which
was incorporated about a year since.
The s. HI. Co. purchased lands in East
Portland last spring which have increased
in value about one half The success of
this company is inducing others to go
into the same business.
learn incidentally that the Salem
Linen Company, which was organized
here last spring, has given up the idea OF
building works for the manufacture of
linen cloths, because they could not get
right of way for a water ditch on to
their grounds. The enterprise, however,
may not entirely fail, as one of our capi-
talists, who is now East, will look around
and inspect various machines and their
cest with view OF putting up works on
his own account.
THE WEATHER
Is quite dreary and many are predicting
snow. These heavy foggy days are GER
tainly more disagreeablc than our rains.
OUR TOWN
Has been In laughing mood over the
witicisms of Plummer, the elocutionist
and mimic, who has a rare faculty OF
amusing his audience. IF he should
visit Albany would advise all who want
a good jolly laugh to go and hear him.
PREPARATIONS
For the holidays are being made by the
various societies and organizations. Cap
ital Fire Engine Co. No. l give public
ball on the evening of the Oath, and
Tiger Go. No. on the evening before
New Years day. The members and
congregation of the Methodist church
are preparing Christmas tree for the
benefit of the little folks. A musical
concert on the evening of January 1st

WHAT A CLIMATE.-We scarcely
pick up State exchange that does not
contain an account of the gathering of a
second crop of strawberries, pears, plums,
flowers in full bloom, ETC., right in the
dead of winter, while our Eastern cx-
changes are filed with accounts of storms
of rain and snow, and the dreadful cold
weather, causing the death of many who
were exposed to its breath. If our East
ern brethren wish to enjoy strawberries
and cream in December, let them come
to Oregon, the poor mans paradise.

latter urged their point strong
ly, but the majority was against
them, they holding that they
could afford to stand their
ground, as not more than ten
or a dozen members (all the
force at present employed at
the yard) would be affected. A
resolution to that effect was
finally adopted, and a commit
tee was appointed to wait on
the white bricklayers at the
Maynard and urge them to
quit and not work with the
colored men. 1t is understood
that Thomas Mahoney, a lead
ing bricklayer in the Navy
yard, under John E. Herrell,
will reply, in behalfof the men
there employed, that their first
duty is to stand by the Govern
ment.- Washington City Star.

Cuba Expeditions.

The friends of Cuba in New
York are using every possible
precaution to evade the little
host Of Spanish spies who have
been employed to watch their
movements and report them at
certain Office on Broadway,
and it is a matter of sincere con-
graduation that they have kept
the operations a mystery until
publicity ceased to be injurious
to their cause. They have, &C
cording to a report presented
by the agents Of the Spanish
Government, sent thirteen ex-
petitions to Cuba, all of which
have been safely landed. The
largest number of men on one
of the expeditions was $50, and
the smallest 80. The materials
of war shipped in these vessels
including six batteries Of artil.

facts in this case may not be
undressing. Carter who suf-
fered with the toothache, was
advised by a colored doctor to
girdle an apple tree so that it
would die, and at the same time
cut from it a twig; to pick his
decayed tooth with the twig,
then put the twig in a red fan
mel bag, tie the bag with a
horse-hair and put it in his
pocket, and told thatas the tree
from which the tooth pick had
been taken died, the nerve of
the tooth would die, and he be
relieved of his pain. Carter
found an apple tree growing in
Coles yard. He girdled it,
cut from it a twig, picked his
tooth with the twig, and was

COLORED BRICKLAYERS,

The recent order ofSecretary
Borie requires that no distinc-
ton of color shall be made in
the employment of hands in
the various navy-yards, and a
few days since Overton John
son and David R. Parker, two
colored bricklayers, applied
for and obtained work in the
Washington navy-yard. Pre-
vious to obtaining work john
son waited upon George
Thompson, Esq President OF
the Bricklayers' Union, and re-
quested a card. The President,
it is said, informed him that he
could not give a card, and the
Society would not give him
one. He also stated to John
son that a fine Of S. would be
imposed upon any brick mason
who would work with a man
who did not hold a card from a
society. johnson was born
and reared in this city land was
a slave of the late Ulysses
Ward until his twenty-frst
year, when he was given his
freedom. He has worked at
bricklaying for fifty-seven
years in this city, Louisiana,
Liberia, Hayti and Cuba. He
served in the LIST Louisiana
(Union) volunteers for four
years and three months during
the rebellion. David r. Par
ker is well known in the Fifth
Ward. He learned his trade
in Norfolk, Virginia, and dur
ing the war he served in the
navy.
The Bricklayers' Union held
q meeting last night at Trades
Union Hall, with closed doors;
but it is rumored that this
question came up and a lengthy
and exciting debate ensued,
some of the members advocat-
ing an immediate strike of the
bricklayers at the Navy yard

were removed; while others,
more cautious, expressed their
doubts as to the practicability

lery and an immense supply of
Spencer rifles, and the whole
number of men which they car
ried is estimated at 5000. This
full brigade of veterans-the
gifts of the American people to
Cuba-is to day a part of the
army of Cespedes, and we may
soon expect to hear from them
in a desperate, if not decisive
battle with the Spaniards.
The above facts, which come
from a Spanish source, are cor
roborated by one of the Cuban
patriots, who estimates, howev-
er, the accession to Cespedes ar
my from the United States at
eight thousand men. Seven of
the expeditions sailed form New
York, three from Baltimore, and
three from Florida.
It is said that all the volun-
teers who left New York for
Cuba are in the cavalry arm of
the service. The use Of the sa-
bers has been discontinued, the
Spencer rife being deemed more
effective.
Another expedition is on foot,
and the veterans, of which it
will be mainly composed, will
consist of ex-officers of the

WATERFRONT ON Long Island
Sound.
[ Newport, Rhode Island News I

Newport, Rhode Island News
An immense waterspout wa
seen on the Sound on Wednes
day evening. After a hard
shower an immense dense cloud
was observed to form in the
heavens. Soon a huge upright
funnel descended from the
cloud. The apex of the spout
was downward. At first it ap-
parently consisted of a dense
vapor. A similar cloud arose
from the bottom of the Sound,
and the two became united dur
ing a vivid fash Of lightning.
When this junction was formed,
the water seemed to run up the
funnel like flames of fire en-
wrapping a church steeple.

hundred feet in the air, carry

dropping it on the beach. just
outside the harbor it struck a
brig, completely dismasting it
in the short space of three Sec

enormous. and it is estimated
that over a half million gallons
OF water were drawn into the
clouds during its existence. =
Nearing the beach it was seen
by a boy who said he heard a
terrible roaring. The boy ran
for his life, and the spout ran
uponsthe shore, apparently in
pursuit of him. Striking the
beach fronting the Castle the
vast pillar of water broke, and
the shore for an eighth of a
mile was deluged by it's foods.

Lynchburg speech is really a
noble one; and says all that can
be asked or expected of any man
who was not a Confederate. It
is wise, just and patriotic. It
is true that he comedies negro
suffrage; but it is because he can
not prevent it; and he denoun.
ces with boldness and manly in
dignation the proscriptive and
DISTINGUISHING clauses of the
constitution; while he pledges
himself to be Governor of Vir-

ginia, and justice to all her cit
liens. What more can he do ?
