The old settlers of South western
Oregon are rejoicing in the tact that
Rogue River is. navigable for ocean
steamers. The Coqmette last month
entered the mouth of that river, car
rying the machinery for two steam
saw-nlills, one to Ellensburg and the
other near to Port Oxford. This
discovery will be a source of great
convenience to that portion OF the
State.

A state Of anarchy prevails
throughout the entire republic of
Mexico. The journals are full of
pronunciamentos and the troops are
growing more revolutionary. Gen
eral Trevins has captured the great
er part Of ofSaltilla in the late battles,
and he is pressing the siege vigor-
ously. Sixteen hundred Govern
ment troops are hemmed in inside
and the water supply cut off.
The Neao Northeoest says that
"women must speak trough her

to power" Ifthey cannot get into
power except through the leader
ship of Woodruff, how are they to
hold the power when it is secured,
unless she continues to lead /? Pow
er, which depends on wrong prin-
ciples for attainment, is impure il
itself and injurious in its influence
anyhow. To secure a right, does
not morally justify the commission
of wrong. A beautiful structure
built on rotten foundation, is short
lived, anyway. We are sorry they
are building on Woodhull.

They found out how to fix it in
the very first session Of the Conti-
mental Congress. While that Con-
gress was in session Delegate Har-
rison, of Virginia, desiring to take
something went with a friend to a
certain place where supplies were
furnished to Congress, aud ordered
two glasses of brandy and water.
The d nan in charge hesitated, and
replied that liquors were not in
cluded in the supplies furnished
Congressrnen.
'sWhy," said Harrison, "what is
it, then, that see the New Eng
land members come here and drink?
"Molasses and water, which they
have charged as stationery," was
the reply.
SsThen give me the brandy and
water 2 said Harrison, sand CHARGE
it as fuel"

The Years Peach Crop.

The crop has been an immense one,
but the quality shipped by rail has not
come up to the expectation formed OF
it. The Wilmington Commercial says
The fruit growers, at their meeting in
June, estimated the crop sent by rail at
$4,000 baskets. But, on the contrary
it will not be greatly over two and a
half millions. The precise quantity up
to and including Thursday, September
IA, was 2,656,573 baskets. The guam
tity sent sent by water, however, will
be about what we, at a rough guess,
estimated it-namely, 10000 baskets,
so that the whole crop of the PENN
sula this year is over 100000 baskets,
instead OF 100000, as we had expect
ed. The quantity sent by rail in 1870
was l,4lO,O79 baskets; in 1871, is about
1865, 900 baskets; increase, l,234,92l
baskets
This is a great development along
the railroad regions in single year
What amount OF money the crop has
brought to US we cannot vet estimate,
but the net prices returned to the grow
er have probably been between thirty
and forty cents per baskets. At thirty
five cents the peach crop has brought
into the peninsula this year over ST.
Do, 1000, and counting all consumption
at home, by the Gamers, etc, fair
statement would doubtless be very near
" million and half Of dollars.

Attempt mt Suicide.

Saturday last an unknown woman
made two desperate attempts in South
Cumberland to commit suicide. She
first endeavored to throw herself under
the wheels ofengine No. 40 Of the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad as it was
coming into the lower part OF the city,
but was rescued from this horrible
death by some men who saw her, and
reached the spot just in time to pull
her from the track before the ponderous
wheels Of the engine came crushing
upon her. After having been frustrated
in this design she attempted to throw
herself into the canal basin. but was
again foiled by some workmen in the
vicinity. A watch was put upon her
movements, which she observed, and
soon left the vicinity, evidently aban-
doning her purpose. She refused to give
her name, or to furnish any reasons tor
her conduct.-Cumberland Ne,os, LIST.

The Credit of VIRGINIA.

The State Treasurer Of Virginia pub
fishes a good exhibit Of the finances of
that Commonwealth. The public obi
CATION, incurred under the funding law,
and the current expenses of the State
Government, can be properly met with
out increase Of taxation-a fact which
will establish the credit of the State
beyond cavil. This official declaration,
confirming previous reports OF prudent
management, shows that the Virglnians
are emerging from the cloud cast upon
them by an extraordinary succession
of serious disasters. No other State in
the South has suffered so much, and no
other has borne its ills more bravely.
Desolated by the war, ravaged by fire
and flood, deprived Of the privileges to
which she was fairly entitled after max
ing honorable submission, and vexed by
political contentious, the old State has
given abundant proofs OF her vitality
and of her earnest wish for development
as well as OF her desire to live in peace
with all men.-New York Commercial

Ride Through Mt. Cents Tunnel.

A correspondent of the London Times,
writing from Turin, September 18th,
describes a ride through Mt. Gents Tun-
mel, as follows:
"Our carriage was the last in the
line, and, as the engine worked back
ward, we were close to it. Both our
windows were wide open, and we had
not the least convenience from smoke
or steam. There was no perceptiole
difference between inside and outside
air, and one OF my companions SUM
bered through nearly the whole dis
lance. The fact that the engine was IN
our rear was certainly in our favor, but
the unanimous evidence OF all who had
come through in the morning went TAR
to establish that they also had expert
enced no unpleasant sensation, and the
difference of temperature could only be
detected BY Valvasson's g'ass, which
marked a few degrees additional warmth
in the tunnel. The highest degree at
tanned in to-day's journey has been
eighteen degrees, centigrade. The
Graftonis glass, in previous trips, rose
to twenty-one degrees. Our pace
throughout the crossing seemed fairly
rapid aud even, and the time employed
in the up and down journey, of between
seven and eight English miles, was
precisely thirty-eight minutes; but the
average time allowed to trains, when
the line shall be in full operation, is
calculated at twenty minutes.

A Ride on the Narrow Guage.

Grace Greenwood writes as follows to
the New York Times {" | should have
chronicled some time ago an excursion
on the Denver and Rio Grande narrow
guage railway. We went out about if
teen miles-as far as the rails were then
laid. 1t was charming day. We had
a pleasant company of citizens and
tourists, and all went merry as mar
riage bell in the old days, when mar
riages were Of some account. On this
railway you are struck at once with
the reduced proportions OF everything
from the locomotive, which seems
like small variety Of the iron horse
a very little mustang-to the lamps
and windows in the cars. The cars
themselves are bright, pretty, diminu-
tive affairs, cosy and comfortable. 1t
seems like playing at railroading, es-
pecially as there is marvelously little
noise or motion. Never have I known
a train glide along 80 smoothly and
quietly. The little engine 'buckled
right down to her work. like Chiquita,
and made no ado about it for several
miles, when, grieve to say, she sud
denly baked, and had to be switched
We took another horse and went on
merrily to the end Of the road. Here
we all alighted, and watched the men
laying rails and driving spikes. The
remorseless officers OF the road insisted
on your correspondent paying her way
by driving a spike. 1t was cruel tax
on my muscular Christianity The
newspaper report said that drove the
spike home triumphantly.' But |
really thought it wouldn't 60 home till
morning. This narrow guage road,
when finished to Ell Paso, will be a
wonderful route-for pleasure as well as
commercials it will almost be unri-
vailed for variety and grandeur of see
merry. The mountain views, the picture
of river, and park, and plain, between
Denver and Colorado city, are especially
m agnifcent."

Spirited Description OF Shanghai
- eathar.

$3.50 es-SzsErE
Hon. James Brooks, in, one Of bis
letters from China to the New York
Express. thus describes the state of the
weather at Shanghai during his visit
to that place: .g
The thermometer is the biggest liar
that ever lived. 1t is only 95 or SO
here at night, and 100 or 103 by day,
and yet it is hotter, intensely hotter,
than have felt it in the Napa (Califor-
MAJ Valley, coming from the Geysers,
IN July, at lis. or on the sands OF
Egypt. Thermometers, therefore, /
have no hesitation in saying, lie, not
exactly in, words, or figures, or letters,
but in spirit, in substance, in caloric, at
least. l am suffocating herel Ican't
get breath enough |! What would 1
give for puff, and how much more for
a typhoon, even if a destructive one
There is no air, night nor day, and, if
possible, it is hotter by night than by
day. There. is no sleep in this oven
bed, and if there were, the mosquitoes
would eat you up, If you did not throw
over you the welLreticulated net. A
mattress is uncomfortable; a mat has to
be laid on that or your perspirstion
would stick you to the mattress.
Never, never, Yankee pilgrim, enter
here in June, July or August. They
say you can breathe, and live, and
sleep, in all the other months of the
year; but if you will be such fool as |
am, and come, drink, and drink deep,
not exactly the Pierian. Spring-uot
water, for that is poison here-but
claret, hook, champagne, porter, beer,
and eat ice, and little else, except bread
and meat. Shanghai is nearly in the
latitude OF Northern Florida; but amid
low lands as it is, on which are bound
less fields Of cotton, near the mouth Of
the great Yang-tse, doubtless the eli.
mate is like that OF New Orleans, on the
Mississippi, with the thermometer
ranging higher. What l know for
certain is, you will never catch me here
again in July, if there be any way Of
getting around it, or over it, or under it.

Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch.l

From Greenbrier-CrOps-
in the Mountains, &c. %
Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch
LBwlsBURG, W. Va, Sept. q, 1871
Owing to a protracted drought this
summer, the corn and hay crops Of
Greenbrier and Monroe counties are
very short, and the fall which has Get in
early this year catches most of the cattle
in thin condition. Many farmers will
not be able to market their cattle this
year.
The nearest point at which the
railroad approaches this town is
Caldwelrs mill on Greenbrier river,
three and a half miles distant, and it
is believed that when finished the road
will seriously impair the trade Of Lewis
burg, which will be transferred to the
point above mentioned, or to Cla; e
mill, some four miles lower down the
river.
At the latter place the owner is
already offering to sell building lots at
city prices. Lewisburg will, however,
continue. without regard to the direction
that trade may take, to be the county
seat, and "a such must always be a
place OF local Importance.
The country between Huntington
and White Sulphur is infested with
vagabouds, mostly negroes, who have
been kicked out Of or struggled from
the working parties on the railroad,
and many outrages are committed by
them. On the 25lh inst Il white man
was attacked by band o these outlaws
three miles from this town, and robbed
o. SEQ and a new overcoat.
Two negroes are now in Jail OF Mon
roe for committing a rape ION the
night Of the 18th instantly on Mrs.
Perry, vile of George V. Perry, OF
Monroe comfy, and attempting sim
liar outrage upon white girl II years
OF age.
On the morning OF the 25th instant
