WALLA WALLA RAILRoAD.-Gen. James
Tilton, Chief Engineer of the Walla Walla
and Columbia River Railroad Surveys, has
made report to the Directors of the company,
which we find published in the Walla Walla
Statesman OF May 9th, from which we gather
some interesting statistics. The total length OF
the proposed road to Wallula is less than thirty.
two miles, and the total fall in grade from
Walla Walla to Wallula is FIVE hundred and
ninety-nine feet, and only one mile of the road
will have n grade as high as ffty-nine feet.
The total cost of the road. including rolling
stock, machinery and stations, will amount to
S673,236 II, an average of S2l, 27I 80 per
mile. If the road can be built ut such low
figures, our Walla Walla neighbors should en-
deavor in some way to raise the necessary
funds. 1t will open up that magnificent valley
to the tide of immigration which is pouring
into Oregon and Washington Territory, and
the commencement of work on the road, by
company backed with sufficient capital to put
the enterprise through, would cause rise ir
real estate throughout the entire valley of from
fifty to one hundred per cent.

TRAGEDY NEAR DALLEs.-From the Port
land Bulletin of May 3lst we learn of terri
BILE tragedy recently enacted on Moser creek,
about eleven miles from Dallcs City, Oregon.
1t appears that two settlers, named Cleary and
Mcclure, had difficulty about piece of land,
and Cleary went to McClure's house and shot
him through the groin, infcting wound from
which Mcclure bled to death before surgical
assistance could be obtained. A son of Nc
Clure, aged about twenty-four years, on seeing
bis father fall, seized his rifle and shot Cleary
through the head. killing him instantly. The
affair created much excitement. Young Nc.
Clure surrendered himself TO the authorities.
Cleary leaves widow and two children, and
Mcclure widow and several children.

TIGHT PAPERs.-The newspaper war be-
tween the Oregon Herald and Portland Bulle-
tin is becoming quite lively affair. The Her.
aid recently published papers received from
Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, dated November
ID. 1854, from which it appears that James
OMeara, editor of the Bulletin, at that time
took out his naturalization papers as q citizen
of the Sandwich Islands, and swore allegiance
to Kamehameha Third, the King of the Kanaka
Islands. O'Meara denies that he expatrated
himself by taking such an oath, and afiirms his
intention to offer his vote ct the next election
in Oregon, when it will doubtless be challenged,
and If he swears it in, the matter will probably
be brought before grand jury, and the qEess
ton tested as to whether he ia q Kanaka or an
American citizen.

THE Coal MINE D1sAsTER.-The recent
disaster by fire at Pittston, Pennsylvania, is
but another instance of loss of life through
the misery policy of the owners of coal mines
in having only one outlet for their workmen
engaged in their underground labors. 1t re-
ported that eighteen out of the thirty eight
men in the mine at the time, were brought out
dead, having been suffocated by the smoke and
noxious gases generated by the fire. 1t is but
. repetition of the Avondale horror, and the
Legislature of Pennsylvania should, at the next
session, az their first act, pass bill to protect
the lives of miners in the coal mines The
purseproud capitalists who own the mines care
nothing for the lives of their employees. If o
few of them should get smothered, men can be
found to take their places in the drifts and
Slopes, and az long as they can avoid the ex-
pense Of sinking more than one shaft, even to
afford ap avenue Of escape for their laborers
immured in mine, so much the greater will
be their profits and diyidends-and their poek-
cts govern their eonsciences A stringent law
should be passed on the subject one that can
not be evaded. Such horrors as those of Az
ondaie and Pittston call for the intervention of
tho law in behalf of the safety of the coal min
ers. and without some statutory enactment to
that end such disasters pre- liable to occur at
any time. haa

Nor QUITE A DUEL.-The Wala Walla
statesman of recent date gives an account of
two young men who went out to fight duel
near that place, young lady, to whom both
were paying their addresses, being the cause
OF the trouble. After they reached the spot
selected for the occasion, the seconds loaded
the pistols and, having placed the principals in
position, were about to give the word when
one of the braves incontinently turned and fled
like scared rabbit. He has not been seen in
Walla Walla since that time, and it is supposed
that ne would not "let up" until he reached
Portland. The fellow probably had much faith
in the old proverb that abe who fights aud
runs away may live to fight another day"

The WHOLESALE TRADE OF MEM
PHlS.

The spring trade fer the merchants Of
this city liz now opening. more Darticu-
larlY with those in the wholesale trade.
whose business commences several weeks
earlier than that of the retail houses. and
20 see the immense amount of goods being
received by u Wholesale houses, will
satisfy the most careless observer thar.
Notwithstanding the low price Of cotton
and scarcity of n Oney, with the prospect
Of a close money market through the
season, our wholesale houses are pushing
ahead with their accustomed energy and
enterprise, and Memphis is surely bold-
ing her own, and is gradually d~istanciug
all competition in the way of supplying
goods Tor the Southwest. That there has
been and is strong competition with other
cities north of us, and that goods have
been obliged to be sold at prices lower
than in those cities where trade has been
established, to convince even the most
doubtful of country merchants it Is for
their interest to buy in his market. no
one disputes. Our wholesale men are
satisfied with small profits, striving TO
sell an extra hundred or two thousand
dollars worth Of goods to compensate
them for low prices, and It seems from
Gnis springs prospects, they q done it.
WhdB ChB object Is for any retail merchant
to go to another market for their supplies.
II is hard to understand. Judging from
the amount of goods received here the
past few weeks, we would think goods
must be IN limited quantities in
all other markets. As an evil
dence of the large increase in the
wholesale business of our city we have
only to state that the one house of Hill
Terry u Mitchell are selling annually
more goods in the line of exclusively
boots, shoes and hats, than did their prs-
d~ecessOrs, the old house of C1ssitE. HUI
& Co., in their several stores of wholesale
dry goods, boots, shoes, hats and ready |
made clothing. 1t was conceded that that
house, during its existence for twenty
years, did the largest business Of any in /
the city. And 10Y their successors in

by Judge Heydenfeldt, now Of Calif0rnts,
when the writer OF this was = juvenile,
produced q lasting impression. Henry ).
Foete was one of the few mon who dared
to encounter Prentiss at the hastings.
Mr.. FoOts had spent some time in Texas
and written a book, two volumes, entitled
Texas and Texans Preutiss, By way
Of answer to a hard story old by Foogei
which we cannot reproduce, though Hey
deufslt said it was inimitable, and as re-
cited in the stsge-coach, will be for-
gotten by the ten inside passengers-
Prentiss said, in reply to FOote, that near
his home there lived an honest, pious far
mer, who bad an unruly son. The boy
was imperviOus to the rod, and mischiev-
Gus andungovernable to the last degree.
Weary Of indicting corporal punishment
the old man told the boy one morning
that If he did not abandon his evil prac-
tees, he would make him read every day
a page and a half of Foote'S book. The
boy was naturally frightened, said Prem
tiss, but sOOu lspsed into his evil prac-
tees. The father was forced to execute
his threat. "And I assure you, my fellow
citizens, " said Prentiss, 'that the spirit Of
that boy was broken. He never was

CREvAssE.
We were advised yesterday that a Gre
vase had been made in the lsvee that
protects Washington, Bolivar, SunfOwsr
and IsHaqueua counties in Mississippi.
The loss resulting is i~ncalculsbls in ex-
tent. These are the richest ~c0tsou-pro-
duciug counties in the valley Of the
Mississippi, and the area of country pro-
posed to be cultivated this year was
greater than at any period since IS6O-8l.
These magnificent estates, owned BY the
Folks, Yergers and other great planters.
If desolated to the extent stated, viii
cause an immense loss to the countrv's
wealth, and if many such incidents result
nom the fearful rain storms of the past
week, there must follow an advance in
the price OF cotton. The losses along the
Tennessee, IOmbigbe6, Warrior and Ala
bama rivers, If accounts received be cor
rect, must be enormous, and If the calamf-
ty be great in q direction. it should
surely cause an advance in the price of a
product the quantity Of which will be
greatly iessened during the current, as
compared with the crop Of the past year.
THE MAILS.
In consequences Of the detention of the
