OF the pilots who have lately been sound
Ing the a..cS,l channel between Astoria
and Portland con,S,as among other nu-
merous errors the following paragraph:
Unfortunately, the tate June flood has
left two or three humps in the river,
which have only just baen discovered,
and a couple of heavily laden ships on
their way up have stuck, and viii prob
ably have to tighter some OF their cargo,
as the river is at very low stage, and
until these Jumps are removed, or some
one finds a channel away from them,
ships viii not be abe to go down the
river drawing % or % feet, as they have
for the past year.
The falsity of this statement is appar-
ent in the facts, well known to every
on the river d that there was
no June flood this year, (2) the two or
three Jumps alluded to are vast stretches
of sandbars, in many Places miles in ex-
tent, and (3) the present stage of water
in the river is feet above low water

Senator Mitchell and the editor Of the

feather, make haste to flock together in

c. N, Clark, that Portland may not ex-
pect any longer to rob the federal treas
ury for the benefit Of two or three of its
shipping firms, on the pretence of i'm
proving the Columbia river. They may
think Major Clark man of very little
influence, and that he win cut no figure
even " appointed to the river and hafbor
committee, but the Astoran can inform
these gentlemen that Major Clark Will be
found to have FAR more influence, both
at home and in Washington, than either

Major Clark comes from the squanlering
