The unreconstructed, old fashioned
Bourbon press just now are amazingly
unanimous on one subject. and that is
on the proposition that the army ought
to be reduced. They have suddenly
discovered that 1t is terrible sin and
waste of the public funds to clothe aud
feed such an immense number of the
''boys in blue" If through their in
sane howlings and great display of
virtuous indignation at the enormous
cost of keeping up such fearful large
army in IL time of peace. they could
succeed in reducing the standing army
to mere nothing, how happy and
contented they would be. With no
boys iii blue to molest or make them
afraid. the White Leaguers aud other
troublous spirits i'm the South might
go on without fear of lnolestation and
work out their own sweet will.

Jackson aud Josephine counties are
at present attracting a large share of
public attention. New machinery to
be used in crushing quartz on the lode
of BuekInan & Co., near the mouth of
Applegate, was put in few days ago.
More than one hundred tons of ore are
on the dump. which it is calculated
will yield fully $25 per ton. Some OF
it tested in the mill, realized as high
as $40 per ton. Says the Sentinel: !:
Every day adds additional proof of the
fact that the country around us is filed
with ledges of gold and silveF-bearing
quartz and more cinnabar than any
other known locality of the same di-
mensions. Some OF these letlges are
known to be of exceeding richcess.
