NEW YEAR'S ADDRESS«
BY MBS. i. E. AKERS.
With itslights and shadows has passed away,
Another year forever and aye
Gone with its sunshine and its shower?,
With its luscious fruits and its fragrant flowers,
W ith its spring-time beauty and summer's
glow,
Its autumn's harvest and wiuter's snow
And hearts have grown sad at each parting
chime,
As the old year pitssod down the stream of time,
Grown sad* and lonely as loved ones lay
Slowly fading from earth away,
Or sighfng for those who could come no moro,
Who had anchored their barks on the other
They are waiting and a in Oh Death, for
thee.
Ten the mingled chalice of pleasure and pain,
_»id the o'dyea fill for men to drain
And they took the cup and drank it low,
To s«me it was pleasure, to others woe
And now onr thanks we would otfer up,
Tha we were able to drink of the cup.
Yes passed away is another year
Fraught with its burden of hopes and fear,
Its flight has been marked by fire and blood,
By the din of war OK field and flood.
And fathers and sons and broth.rs all,
Have flecked to the field at theireountry'scall $
With dauntless courage and hearts so true
To fight forlthe old flag the 'red white and blne,'|
And bravely have fought and bled and died,
The father's liope and mother's pride,
And homes are cheerless and fond hearts mourn I
For the loved who can never more return. I
Bravely our gallant men have fought,
And on southern flelds have victory nought,
Pea Ridge and Shiloh can tell their story,
While Corinth and Donaldson sing to their
glory
And the river isles and sea ports prove,
Mow our jtatriots figlit for the Hug they lovo
We rejoice to hear of victories won,
But ffiieve at the loss of each gallant son.
When shall this dire conflict cease,
When shall our country again have peace
When our nation has washed away it* stains
And fieerl its soii^ from tiieir galling chains,
Then hall peace in our valleys restonee mure.
And our land be prospered from shore to shore.
Now to our own lair State we in n,
Where patriot's hearts with ardor burn
Though around her was spread darksome pall,
She nobly answered her coimtry's call
And svnt forth her sons so gallant and bravo,
To rind in tho eunny South" a grave.
O return with ,ictoiv on ihoir shields
Kor to traitor foes they will never yield.
It was hn*. late that the Indian foe.
Our western border til'ed with woo.
Murdering our friend* with savage hate
And leaving our country desolate
But we trust kis cruel hand is staid,
And vengeance will re -t on the guilty heads.
These tiials past our fair young State,
Am ng her sisters will yet be grci.t.
Onr labor is blest and the virgin soil
Has well repaid the tiller's toil
Our cellar* and barns and granaries tell.
That the past year's labor has paid us well.
We may hold with a grading hand,
But freely give to the poor of our 'ami,
O.ir goods, onr talent and time are ours,
Only to use with a steward's power.
A new impulse tco has the by-gone year
Lent to the came of learning here,
And we hope our .«-ons so to educate
That the will honor our growing Vtatc.
Ere the close of eighteen sixty-three,
We hope our land will Hguin be free.
Free from the direful scourge ot war,
Without having lost a single star^
Then proudly again our banner shall wave
All over the land of the Irec and the brave.

A Sad History.
Some iefQn years ago, a lovely girl six
teen years of age, resided in an adjoining
State, an ornament to the circle in which
shd moved, and tire fond idol of aged and
doting parents. In an evil hour tho sedu
cer came, and changed the scene to bitter
ness and despair. The confiding victim left
her home and accompanied the villain to this
city, where she generally borne his name.
A little time, the profession of love and de
votionheat first so freely lavished,
less frequent and ardent until he finally]erp
abandoned her altogether. Previous to this
the victim ofthe villain's iust was domiciled
in a house of low repute on Tenth street,
between C. and D. where she resided for
sometime. Utter destitution and remorse
mine preyed upon her delicate organiza-
which steals away the brains'' and sink
such souls to irretrievable ruin. On Thanks

WALLA WALLA, W. T.,
November 2d, 1802.
FRIEND SWENET r—You of course hare
been, ere this, informed that the pioneer
gold hunters of Red Wing, myself among
the rest, had arrived safely in the promised
land. Two months have passed away since
my arrival, and now that the dust of travel

Union" are which and tother" in this
vicinity.
Of the general features of the country I
need say nothing to you, as you no doubt
have them from abler pens than mine,
therefore, I shall confine myself mamly to
the cause of my being here at the present,
to wit: the gold discoveries—I presume you
have already reed or heard that they were
a notorious humbug on an enlarged scale,
but it is my province to undeceive you in
that respect. The mines here are no hum
bug, and the almost fabulous accounts wc
read in the papers last spring were true and
more than true the only difficulty concern
ing them were that they only spoke of
thechased
few lucky ones and said nothing of the thou
sands who did not make grub. I believe
that up to the present moment that every
dollar taken out of the mines here has cost
one dollar and a quarter, but this fact must
be taken with the allowance that I he cost
commenced when the minor left his home
The first mines I visited were the Big Hole,
which are in a gulch at the head waters of
the Missouri. I then traveled north and
west from there-, distance two hundred
miles, and arrived at Elk City here are the
first mines worthy of any consideration the
discoveries thus far extend over a section of
country about twenty or thirty miles square
upon the tributaries of the Clear Water or
Koos-Koosky River, and is all claimed. The
gold here is of a good qiultity and the best
claims will pay from one to two ounces per
day. The difficulty is that there is a scar
city of water to work I hem, as the gold de
posits are in tho hills and dry gulches, the
rivers not paying over from three to ten
dollars per da}'. Eighty or ninety miles
north-west from there are the Ora Fine
Mines of about the same quality. One hun
dred miles south west is the Florence or
Salmon Diggings—this is the place that was
so rich, where as high as sixty pounds of
gold was actually taken out by one man in
a day. But these mines are limited in ex-or
tent, covering an area of only about three
miles square, and have long since been work
cd down to about ounce diggings, and in that
vicinity other diggings have been found,
paying from three dollars to thirty dollars
per day, bat are not extensive at all. The
most extensive and bost pacing mines have

less than three hundred miles by steamboat
to Portland, and besides it is a much better
route for grass and water, and abetter road

there would be a line of stages on this route

MOKE OIL WELL FAILURES.—We learn
that five more of the oil wells of Canada a

of the olenginous product, greatly to. the

occurred at the distance of about a mile from
