LONDON, Jan. 27.-It is reported that
the Russian government has resolved to
construct nine new fortresses on the
western frontier of Russia. This war
like movement, taken in connection
with the recent increase of the stand
ing army, and annual military estimates,
causes much comment here. The
foreign Office here is in possession of
copy of frman of tho Shah If Prussia
by which he comedies the AL roean
Valley and u portion of khorasia to
Russia.
LONDON, Jan. 25.-The funeral of the
late Lord Lytton took place to-day
Among the distinguished persons pres
ent were Baron Selborn, Gladstone,
Justice Cockburn, Right Hon. Child

court, Hepworth Dixon and Miss M. L.
Braddon. Dean Stanley read the flu

Much uneasiness is felt in conse-
quence of the English note to Russia
regarding the dispatch ON the bound
airy question of Central Asia. In the
settlement of the relations between the
two Powers n few years ago, an under
standing was made with Forsythe that
England required Russia only to abb
stain from the invasion of Afghanistan,
but the boundary OF that TERRITORY was
left underlined. The present note de-
clares that the northern boundary OF
Atghanistan commences at Lake Sin
Koe in Geriniar Steppe, thence follows
the Oxus to Kadlah Saleh, and from
that point westward to the Persian
frontier. The note further states that
England has now informed the Emir
of Afghanistan that he may fight the
Russians if they cross the line. Tho

WBBFOOT CENSORSHIP.

II II M:th I:e!!H.,S oI regret ne CON-
plali' Of the recent treatment of one of
our Federal oifice-holders by the auto
cratic politicians of our sister State. Or
eson. Our Federal officials are our
pride and boast. They are our big
guns. None dispute their power with
in the broad limits of our beloved Ter
ritory. And it remains for the benight-
ed Oregonians to snub these, our great
men, soon as they cross the State line
and appear among people who can
vote on the Syndicate, the Credit Mo-
bilier, and kindred questions of nation
al magnitude.
Corporal Trim, our new Surveyor
General, has made many weary pilgrim
ages of late to this Mecca of political
greatness to worship at the shrine of
the faithful. With what rapture he
cherished the belief that he was the
peer of them all! How suddenly the
veil was torn from the worshipped idols,
exposing but skeletons instead! How
rudely lie was awakened from his sweet
dreams of glory!
But an ok was to be ground, stone
to be turned, and 10! Corporal Trim
was detailed for mental duty at the
crank! Ponder, think of it! Shades
of Washington defend us! Are our
public men to be insulted, and threat
ened with official decapitation if they
murmur? Are the Doors who shake on
the miasmatic banks of the classic oval
lamet," to ride rough-shod over the
finer sensibilities of people who draw
sustencnce from the famed oyster-beds
of "the finest sheet of wat er the world
ever SAW" In thunder tones we answer
NO!
The autocrats Of Portland-on-Wal-
lamet" might as we'll understand one
thing: the Courier belongs to the Office
holders Of our Territory. In infancy
they fondled it; in it's youth they blessed
it and called it their own. 1t is their
pride and greatest joy. AS it grows in
strength and manly beauty, they watch
its course with jealous eye. None
dispute their right to its services and
none seek to control it's destiny. BY
what right then does the Bulletin clique
assume to make it the grindstone upon
which to grind their Senatorial axes ?
What right have they to require it to
furnish grit and momentum to sharpen
tool which resists the Buuetin's most
Jealous endeavors?
We protest. The Courier is q cohog
institution, and the Webfeet have no
right to censorship over it. Corporal
Trim is clam-eater, and no salmon
catcher has right to harm him or make
him afraid. In our piney forests he
hewed his way to fortune and fame.
Upon the outrageous shores Of Budd' s
Inlet he has swayed the scepter of pow
er. Shall this glory and prestige be set
aside at the dictation of Webfoot
Never-no, never! No more articles
written by the Bulletin editor shall find
a place in our own beloved Cou, Ter.

ANOTHER POLAR EXPEDITION.

ANOTHER POLAR EXPEDITION.
Itappears that the expedition referred
to in q previous issue, to be sent out
under the auspices Of the British Gov
ernment. embraces wider design than
was at first contemplated. 1t will be
remembered that the most learned sa-
wants of Europe were engaged for the
expedition, to occupy three years time,
and to explore and examine scientific
ally, the regions that have heretofore
been but little known to the busy world.
The object is now announced to be, af-
ter thoroughly exploring the great basin
of the Atlantic, to proceed southwark
and endeavor to reach the South Pole,
returning by the way of the Pacific
Ocean. At the same time it designed
to dispatch another expedition to the
northward to make final attempt to
reach the North Pole.
While it is anticipated that the expo
dition will he amply rewarded in the
discoveries of scientific value, it is
scarcely expected the object which
has inspired the daring adventures
that have proceeded it will be any near
er solution than ever. 1t appears
that nature has set her bounds, beyond
which the irquisitive disposition of
man must not go. So far and no
farther" is written in indellible char
ncters Upon the icy barriers that oppose
his progress. He cannot surmount
the difficulty by scaling these heights
of ice and snow, and progressing due
north towards the open sea surrounding
the pole, for the experience of former
expeditions has demonstrated the fact
that the deep warm ocean currents
flowing constantly to the pole nc
sooner rise in the North sea than they
are converted into ice and float to and
mass against the great wall of ice many
hundred miles in extent, and this is
steadily moving with corresponding
momentum towards the equator. This
motion was found by Parry to be create,
than the progress his party made with
the sledges in the direction of the North
Pole.
The difficulties to be encountered al
either Of the earth's extremities, it is
fair to infer, will be similar, and such
rs it will be probably impossible te
overcome by any apparatus yet devised
for locomotion. A balloon would doubt
less lift us over the difficulty, if there
were means devised by which intelli
gence could control its motions, but il
is as likely to collapse at the wrong
time, or sail off in o contrary direction
and probably anchor in mid-ocean, as ii
is to behave sensibly in the interests Of
scientific inquiry.
But seriously, it is truly gratifying
that our English neighbors, are about
to make an attempt to clear up some o.
the great mysteries of the globe we in
habit. The expedition is composed o.
the wisest and most learned men of the
age. they are supplied with all the ap
paratus that unlimited command o.
money can secure, and have their owl
time in which to complete the work
With all these advantages We may con
fidently anticipate the best of results.

This Will be worth to the country TWEEN

we can get a road or roads if our people
viii manifest the proper interest. Some

we will never get the road. What a

will be our own fault. If we do moth

course we viii miss this and all other
roads. But the main projectors of this
scheme are anxious, very anxious for us
to have this road if we will lend little
assistance.
The report of this survey will be
worth thousands of dollars to Lawrence

The Alamo Sentinel of the 9TH has the
following account of a tragedy: 1t will be
remembered that we noticed some weeks
since an atfray which took place between
a white man named Billy Burke and ne
GRO manchester Num-, in which the white
man cut the negro with a knife, and the
negro Knocked the white man down with a
niece of scantling. 1t seems that Burke
was not satisfied with the termination OF
the affair. and on last Saturday night he
shot the negro with a shotgun, killing him
| instantly.
During the Fair at Jackson, a little law
suit occurred. There was a little show,
| according to the Jackson Wig and Tribune,
which consisted of a SwOrd-swallOwer, a
| monkey. a hand-Organ, woman, tent
and few other things. The names of the
propietors are Charley Hunter, the swords
man. and one Thomas Ashton. They did
not realize many STAMPS during the Fair,
and hence fell out, as is usually the case
under such circumstances. Ashton seized
| the fixtures and apparatus. Hunter COB

| rested for theft-AshtOn had Hunter ar
| rested for assault and battery. For two
DAYS they were before Justice Norwood.
| Result compromise: Ashton taking the
hand-organ and the monkey, while Hunter

Pursuant to the account, which we pub

that place IS. D. Alsabrook, the victim
of the assassin Baker, was one of our most
sterling and useful citizens, and was high
| w esteemed as a man Of strong moral and
religious sentiments. He leaves large and
dependent family to feel and mourn their
loss. His estate was small, and his princi-
pie dependence for the support Of his large
| family. was upon his personal eXertiOns.
| His family. however. will obtain 4 five
| thousand dollar life policy, in the Knicker-
| booker company, which he had prudently
provided for before his decease. More
than four hundred persons followed the
| body to the grave, making, perhaps, the
largest funeral procession ever seen in
