Lebanon Correspondence.
LEBANON, April 10, 1871.


EDITOR REGIsTER:-I send you the
following item of news, which I trust will
be of interest to your many readers. The
steamer CaUiope commanded by Capt.
b. r. Biddie, made trial trip up the
Santiam river last week, and landed at
Lebanon on Wednesday evening at 5
o'clock, amid the shouting ard cheering
of the assembled citizens Some time
since we, through your paper aud other
papers of the State, invited the enter-
prise of navigating the Santiam river,
| but no one would make the attempt until
happily we met with the energetic, gener-
Gus and enterprising Capt Biddle, who,
at glance, saw the propriety OF under>
taking this seemingly gigantic work, and
to day has the pleasure Of knowing that
the Santiam can be successfully naviga-
ted to Lebanon, and furthermore he has
the assurance of the undivided patron
age of the farmers and shippers of this
locality, who will stand by him in the face
of every other opposition and the noble
little steamer Caliiope shall be the medi
um for the transportation of our prod.
ucts and freights, in preference to any
and all others that may come hereafter
And now that there no longer remains
doubt of the successful navigation of oul
river, we hope that the farmers and ship
pers of this locality will make their ar
rangements to ship by the steamer CALI
ope, on the Santiam river, at an early day
A little improvement is necessary to nav
, igate the river In low water. For in
stance, the bar at the Crabtree Ford viii
have to be channeled about $50 feet
which can be easily done. Upon th
: whole we hail the enterprise of naviga
| ting the river as grand success, ant
r we heartily congratulate the citizens o
| Lebanon and vicinity on the establish
7 mcnt of this enterprise, SO essential t
i the present and future welfare of til
people. ENTERPRISE.

not to hurt the poor bird, got ladder

descended. The next evening he re-
marked that it had made q much nicer
pie than he expected.

It turns out that the leading Democrats
of Connecticut anticipated, or rather con-
fdently believed that they would carry
the State in the recent election by from
1900 TO $500 majority. They were
certain Of an unanimous Democratic del
egation from the State in the next Com
gress. They boasted that they would
carry the Legislature by large majority
To accomplish all these results they
were certain of majority of the negro
vote, Gov. English asserting that all the
old colored settlers would certainly vote
for him. Directly opposite to all this
was the result of the vote in Connecticut
According to their own statements, there
were no local issues pending-the gene
raj issues between the Democratic and
Republican parties were on trial, and
the result is a clear and unmistakable
endorsement of the policy Of the Repub-
lican party.

RAILROAD PRoPosITIoN.-The Com

to the terms on which the o. & C. Rail-
road would be brought TO that city, had a
conference with the Railroad King on
Saturday, which resulted in their obtain

The o. & C. Railroad to cross the VILLAS

Harrisburg, in Linn county. running
thence on the west side of said river to
Eugene City, depot to be established
permanently within the corporate limits of
Harrisburg and Eugene City, prouided,
the citizens of Linn and Lane counties
will guarantee to pay to Ben Holladay
the sum of sixty thousand dollars, in
United States gold coin or its equivalent
in lands, and will procure for the o. & G.
Railroad Company the right of way fol
Its road, free of charge, through the cities
Of Harrisburg and Eugene, and through
all private property from the point where
it may be necessary to diverge from the
Springfield route. The road as at pres
emit surveyed, on the east of the Villa
mette river, by way of Springfield, is iv'
and one-quarter miles shorter than b,
way of Harrisburg and Eugene City, ant
the cost of constructing a draw-bridg
across the Willamette at or within thre,
miles of Harrisburg, will greatly exceed
the cost of constructing the two necessar,
bridges on the Springfield route. TIL,
citizens of Harrisburg and Eugene wan
the road, and we are inclined to the belle
that they will raise the amount required
although it may and doubtless viii TAX
some tall work. They have already gon,

thousand dollars have been subscribed
AS the above proposition is open onl,
until the first of next month, the decision
Of the citizens of the two burgs win soor
be known.

FROM HICKMAN TO MADRID BEND.
The District of country from Hickman
to Madrid Bend, embraces thousands of
acres of land, as rich in soil as the sun
ever shone upon. This land is subject
to overflow, but any one acquainted with
the geography of the country will admit
that it could be recovered by an outlay
of money only trifing, when compared to
the increased value that would be given
to the lands. A levee of about II miles
would redeem several hundred thousand
acres. These lands belong to Kentucky
and Tennessee, but to the latter princi
pally. The Kentucky owners generally
are alive to levee, and only want the
cooperation of Tennessee.

RAILROAD ENTERpRIsE.-The ques-
ton of Railroads and Railroad connec-
tions is again enlisting the attention of
some of our enterprising citizens. The
general prosperity and increased trade
which has blessed Hickman during the
past year, awakens, naturally, an am
bition for increased facilities and advau-
tages. In point of trade, Hickman has
outstripped all neighboring towns and
places, and this has been accomplished
without the noise and blow of splendid
railroad connections" in the future. Our
business men have gone down to facts, and
attracted trade by selling better goods
and cheaper goods than competing poinss.
Hickman is the natural trading aud ship
ping point for the larger part of Western
Kentucky and Tennessee, but the rail
roads now built have diverted large
portion of this trade from US. We need
railroad running through West Ten
nessee, via Troy, Dyersburg, and thence
tapping the Southern railroads at Jack
son or Brownsville This country is
rich enough to build this road if active
men would take hold of the enterprise,
and we are certain the people will take
hold of it eagerly when properly present
ed. This road would insure us a con-
nection with st. Louis by branch Of the
Iron Mountain, which is already in con-
temptation, and likely to be built any
way. Railroad men assure US that this
would be an unsurpassed freight line,
and after all, freight lines are the ones
which pay stockholders. We have in
timations that an effort will be made to
build such a line as we indicate, and that
it will be built if the project meets with
sufficient sympathy with the people along
the route. In the meantime, we beg the
people of Hickman and of Fulton county,
to consider the enterprise, aud prepare
themselves to aid in the work.

The extensive use of these watches for
the last fifteen years by Railway Conduc
tors. Engineers and Expressmeh, the most
exacting of watch-wearers has thoroughly
demonstrated the strength, stradiness, du-
rability and accuracy of the Waltham
Watch To satisfy that class in ell these
respects, is to decide the question es to the
real value of these time-keepers.
! More than 500, 900 of these watches are
now speaking for themselves in the pockets
of the people-a proof and guarantee Of
their superiority over all others.
! The superior organization and great ex-
tent of the Company's Works at Waltham,
enables them TO produce watches at price
which renders competition futile, and those
who buy any other watch merely pay from
25 to so per cent. more for their watches
| than is necessary.
These tims-pieces combine every improve
meat that long experience has proved of
real practical use. Having had the refusal
of nearly every invention in matchmaking
originating in this country or in Europe,
only those were finally adopted which severe
testing by the most skilfull artisans in cur
works, and long use on the part of the pub
! lie, demonstrated to be essential to correct
and enduring time keeping.
Among the many Improvements we would
particularize
The invention and use of n centre-pinion
i of peculiar construction, to prevent damage
| TO the train by the breakage of main :
springs, is original with the American
Watch Company, who, having had the re-
| fusal of all other contrivances, adopted
Fogg's patent pinion as being the best and
faultless
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now
universally admitted by Watchmakers to be
the best, are used in all grades of waltham
| Watches.
All waltham Watches have dust-proof
caps, protecting the movement from dust,
and lessening the necessity of the frequent
cleaning necessary in other watches.
Our new patent stem-winder, or keyless
watch is already decided success, and a
great improvement on any stem-winding
| watch in the American market and by far
the cheapest watch of its quality now offer
ed TO the public. To those living in por-
tions Of the United States where watch
makes do not abound, watches with the above
mentioned improvements which tend to
ensure accuracy, cleanliness, durability and
convenience, must prove invaluable.
