Eh: malls Malls Statzsman. PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY EVENG m a.a.as.o. asss,:::::::::::::':: muons. Walla Walla, w. 1., Friday, Dec. 30. 1864 ————————-——-——a Eastern News. the news from Sherman’s army up to latest dates, is too conflicting to be regarded as en tirely reliable. The news is‘ gathered from Southern papers and probably is cast somewhat tofavor the Confederate cause. We condenser from the despatches all there is of interest con cerning Sherman's movements. The Richmond Whig» of Dec. 6th, says Sherman is marching to the coast of Georgia, and that a battle is antici pated at some point north or northwest of Sa vanah. The Richmond Dispatch, of same date, lays Sherman’s army seems to be becoming ex hausted. For five days he had marched but five miles. He was expected at Ssvannah on the sth, and all that night the shipping of the point threw up signal rockets for his guidance. Rich mond papers of the 7th say Sherman is approach ing the coast by way of Darien or Savannah, and that he will have a formidable confederate force to confront before he reaches either point. The papers predict that Sherman is done with strategy and will attempt to break through the confederate forces in order to reach the coast. They also think his condition‘ a critical one. The Augusta Constitutionalist believes that since leaving Atlanta, Sherman has not hesitated a moment as to the point to be attacked, or as to the road to take. It says that on leaving Millen he would arrange his army so that he could move on Savannah without fear of an attack on either flank. The Charleston Mercury learns that Foster has fortified the position which he took after the battle of Honey Bill, S. 0., where it isaupposed he will remain until Sherman reaches within striking distance of the coast. It states that Foster has for some days and nights sent up balloons and sky rockets, supposed to be signals to Sherman‘s approaching hosts. The Richmond Examiner of the Bth, says: Last ac counts from Sherman represent him still at Mil len. From there it is about an equal distance to three points, Beaufort, Savannah and Darien. It is believed by some that he will endeavor to meet Foster at Grahamsville, S. 0., hutif failing in that, to capture Savannah. The Richmond Dispatch of the 13th, says that Sherman is near Savannah, probably not five miles distant. He has not made an attack, and it is doubtful whether or not he will do so or make for the coast south-east of the city. It is very certain that he has not opened communications with the coast, though he may do so very soon. The telegraph from below Charleston states that Sherman was on the eve of battle, does not say where, and that he was confronted by a strong Confederate force. Another paper states that there has been no direct communication with Savannah for several days, and apprehends that the wires have been cut between that place and Charleston. Wheeler confesses that in his engagements with Kilpatrick, he did not take many priso ners, because the Yankees would not surrender. Kilpatrick is reported wounded. 01' the movements about Richmond, the fol lowing is a summary : Richmond papers of the Bth Dec., any that Grant has been reinforced by from 8,000 to 10‘,000 men from the Shenandoah valley, and that a battle is imminent. Dutch Gap canal, they say, can be made available in a few hours. Reports are current that the evacu ation of Petersbnrg may he looked for at an early day. Skirmishing parties are usually ac tive in the vicinity of Richmond. Advices from Tennessee make it appear that the Union loss in the battle of Franklin was greater than at first supposed. By ofiicial re ports the loss amounted to 2,000' a large por tion being slightly wounded. A Louisville de spateh says that Breckinridge‘s position seems to be in doubt. It is reported that he is at Sparta, Tenn., with ten thousand men, and that he intends to reinforce Hood. It is thought that the troops under Stoneman and Burbridge will prevent the junction. Special despatches from Nashville, Dec. 13th, say all our forces have done more or less fighting to-day, and appar ently with damage to the enemy. The Demo crat says the rebels under Lyon burned the de pot, and destroyed a lot of tobacco at Harden ville, Ky., on the Memphis branch railroad.— The rebels are conscripting everybody they can find. A Louisville despatch of the 9th, states that a rebel brigade had started from Hood’s ar my in the direction of Murfreeshoro. It is not known whether for foraging or to attack that place. The rebel Senate on the 6th Dec., defeated A resolution introduced in pursuance of Jeff. Dn vil’ recommendation that various officers ex empted by State laws should be forced into the rebel army. Another resolution has been intro duced which fiercely condemns the proposition to make soldiers of the slaves and giving them freedom as I. reward for services. In the South Carolina Legislature, a bill has paced the House for the conscription of all men between the ages of 16 and 70. Cole, of California, has introduced a. bill in Congnn lo- tho ambush“ of . mining department. Among the foreign items of news, is the fol. lowing: The Times (London) sees no cause {or nlarm in the re-election of Lincoln'. England is probably safer in his than any other bands. Re garding foreign States, and England pa rticular ly, we may reasonably believe thst Lincoln has sown his wild one, and has gone through with his course of defying and insulting England, And we hope he will not repeat the experiment. «It was reported at Southnmpton, Nov. 22d, that Semmes new ship “See King" was wrecked of the Isle of Mederia. Conn Buow.~—-From Mr. Geo. Thomas, who returned from the Dulles this week, we learn that it hu been much colder at the Dallee and between there and the Cascadesthan it has here. This is usual—the climnte of this valley being universally acknowledged to be the mildest east, of the Cascsdel. The rive: between the Dulles Inf} Genomic: and between the Cascades and Portland had been blocked thh ice, but in most likely free by this timc. Col. Ruckel, who was ‘ It the Dulles, promised to send a boat to Wallu ' 11. u won an it was possible to do so. The low I"er on the “qu9l- rival-”'1"! as great an In:- petfinlont. to an guion :- the ico. . ‘ WILL VITO IT.—A private letter from Olympia says a Specific Contract Law will most likely be passed by the legislature, but it is understood that the leaders of the Re publican party at Olympia difl'er from their brethren in California, Oregon, and Idaho upon the nice point of “ lawyialty,” and will seek to make a party measure of it, and that under their influence, Governor Pickering is understood to stand pledged to veto the bill. This being the case, and the House standing so nearly equally divided, politi cally, it is not likely that the necessary two thirds vote can be got to pass the hill over the Governor’s veto. Among thinking bus iness men of all parties, the passage of such a law has been earnestly looked foward to as absolutely necessary for their protection, and if the Governor and his party veto the bill, they may expect that the anathemas that will be heaped upon them for the act will not be confined to any particular party. Among that class of Democrats who make politics a trade, the vetoing of the bill will make no material difference, as itswill fur nish them a handle with which to grind out political capital against their opponents in future election campaigns; but it will'make a difference with the people of all parties in the Territory who desire to see the adoption of measures for the public weal, and if these things cannot be done within the ranks of parties, they will see that they are done out side of them. The idea that there is any thing disloyal in the mere compelling of men to fulfill contracts and pay their debts in gold coin when they have specifically agreed to do so is too absurd for argument, and on ly worthy the heads of such shallow-brained men as have been appointed to oflice in, and who assume to rule the destinies of this Ter ritory. It only substantiates the assertion that has been made by many, that, to be loy al, according to their standard, is only to be dishonest. In this connection, it is only necessary to further suggest that the Terri- j torial oflicers receive their salaries in green. ; backs. ‘ PORTER ON HIS Taurus—The second night after Geo. H. Porter, effected his es cape from the jail here he made his appear ance at the house of Mr. Wm. Moore, justt across the Oregon line, about six miles from the city, at the hour of 2 o’clock, and arous ing the family, entered the house and de manded a horse. He represented that the horse he had been riding had thrown him off and ran away, and that upon finding the horse they could take him in exchange for the one they must give him, and the posses sion of which he was prepared to enforce l Upon arising, the family saw six other per sons around the house, mounted upon hor ses, who were evidently acting as Porter’s escort, but whom they were unable to recog nize in the darkness. Under the circum stances, the only safe alternative, was to comply with Porter’s request, and furnish hima horse, which they did; and after ter which he, with true highway imperious ness, demanded that the horse should be saddled for him. This request was com plied with, when he asked for a hat (having lost his, as he represented, when thrown from his horse,) and some supper. These were given him, when, in company with his escort, he departed, leaving the family to re gret that they had not been better prepared for the reception of such unseasonable visit ors, but still congratulating themselves that they had escaped so cheaply. The horse lost by Porter was subsequently found, but, we learn, was claimed by another party. On Saturday last, as the stage was com ing from the Dulles, Porter passed it in the vicinity of the Umtilla river. He stopped a moment, and talked with the driver and passengers {nforming them that he was armed with a double-barreled shot-gun and two re volvers, did not intend tohe taken, &c. He continued on his journey toward Umatilla, and has probably crossed the mountains by the emigrant road. j Tar OREGON hunter—The Oregon papers represent that the Regiment of In fantry called forin that State is being fut ‘ filled up by volunteering. Some of the counties have already filled their quota. The oflicers of the old Cavalry Regiment are being retained as their Companies are mus tered out of the service, and those who de lire them will probably receive positions in the new Regiment. It is currently reported here that Capt. Geo. B. Curry is to be Colo nel, Capt. Drake, Lieutenant Colonel, and Capt. W. V. Rinehart, Major, of the new Regiment. OFFICERS or WALLA WALLA LODGE.— At the regular annual meeting of Walla Walla Lodge, No. 7, A. F. & A. M., held on the 24th instant, the following ofiicers were elected for the ensuing Masonic year: A. I". Brown, W. M.; P. F. Castleman, S. W.; W. W. Thompson, J. W. ; F. Stein, S. D.; H. E. Johnson, J.

Axornra Sucrnc Com-mar Diorama.— We notice by the Oregon Statesmln and the Dr egon Arena, that a decision hes been rendered by Judge Peebles, in the coprtot‘ M 35“)! county, in acontraet case, adverse to the decision of Judge Shattvck, ofthe Dist. Court. The cases before the two courts were about the some, ex cept that a tender of greenback: was made in the case before Shattuck, and not in the other. Peebles decided that the late specific contract law could not cover the case, as the contract be tween the parties was made prior to the passage of the law; thst the contract was binding only so for as the laws that were in existence at the time the contract was entered upon, made it so. This decision does not please :the Areno, while the Statesman says it is not in accordance with public expectations. Nevertheless, we think the decision is in accordance with law, and that contracts made previous to the passage of spe cific contract laws are only subject to the lows in existence at the time. However, e man pos sessed with the least sprinkling of honesty would not tender the payment of o. debt in greenback! at par when a. contract demlnded gold, even though the law could not forbid it. Boous Laotsurun.——lf the recent session of the Idaho Legislature was not legal or assem bled at the time prescribed by the organic act, of course all the legislation transacted at the sitting is bogus and goes for nothing, except ,waated toil, time and money, to the members. But suppose the Legislature did convene a month or two, more or less, too soon, what dif ference does that make? The legislation would not probably be any difl'erent if the body should be called together to do its business over again, Besides, it appears that the people of Lewiston regarded the legislature as proceeding accord ing to law, up to the eleventh hour, and most likely would never have raised the question of illegality had not the great Capital removal question intervened and gave them new light. If the people of Lewiston knew so much about that “organic act" and the illegality of conven ing the legislature before the time, .why did not they give expression to their wisdén't before the assembling, or at least in the fore: part of the session? Making the discovery attire very last hours of the session, looks very istonishing; and though it may be a Capital jokt- to the Lew iston people, it will be a serious matter with the people ofthe Territory, generally,“'li’ the Legiso lature has to be convened again in January. That paragragh in the Presidez. '8 Message which the telegrsph operator “luff he bu Bub~ sequently found. That. portion which was omit ted reads : I “While it is melancholy to rafbct that the war has filled no mnny graves,’ ‘ nd caused mourning to so many homes, it is |¥ue relief to know that, compared with the surv ved the full< en have been so few. While corps, divisions, brigades and regiments have formed and fought and bled and gone out of existence, 9. great ma jority of the men who cwposed them are still living. The same is true of the Naval service. The election returns prove this, else so many votes could not be found." The election returns may nppm to prove that a great majority of those who went into the fidd are still living, when we consider the extraordi nary facilities that are afl‘orded for voting dead men; but the history of the war proves conclu sively that e. great majority of the men who composed those regiments, brigades, &c., have been swept out of existence, else so many slain would not hove been reported, nor would there have been so many cans for 300,000 more. From the way the people of Lewiston are striving to hold on to the Capitol, we should judge that they regard its retention among them as their last and only hope for the future ado vancement of that town. The zeal they meni fest has never been equalled by any community, exceptit was they Olympiaites,when they divided Washington Territory in order to keep the Cap ital from being taken from their dingy end an cient village. It will be remembered that come Lewistonians took a very prominent put in di viding our Territory, in order that they might secure the Capital of Idaho at Lewiston.- ‘ The Olympia clique ought to feel some sympa thy now for the predicamentof the Lewlstonlons. } The prime movers in the old division scheme, ‘ st Lewiston, expeected that they would be guer anteed the Idaho Capital for all time, as a just compensation for services rendered to the Olym pieites in the matter of division. But the se quel shows that they were badly mistoken. The Capital will go to Boise City, notwithstanding the herculean and death-like grip of those who seek to hold it to its original locality. We do not wish to rejoice over the misfortunes of our neighboring town, nor by any means to wish it anything but prosperity in the future; but we must say it got badly sold by that Division & Capital Joint Stock Company. Better try some thing else, and let go that hold before you get carried ‘bodily ofl'.’ Lnomuxvn.—We have no important Legis lative proceedings. - We presume they are “fro zen up” somewhere on the way, (as the mem. ber: have no doubt sent them) and will get here, as usual, after the adjournment. The Council was organized by the election of Hoonnnk Clank, President. ' ‘ Report of School Superintendent It becomes my duty to make one more re port, to the people of this county, on the condition of the Public Schools. It is highly gratifying to be able to state that there has been more interest taken in the erection of school houses, and the welfare of the school‘s, generally, during the past year, than at any previous time. People are beginning tore: alize the great importance of educational privileges, for their children, and though many are far below the mark, at the rate we are improving, they willsoon be up to the proper standard. Even the town, that has always been be— hind on school matters, till recently, is seri ously taking steps that will eventually cul minate in the erection of a Public school 1 house. There are now seven school houses 1 either complete, or in process of erection in T the county. I think five of these are of Y logs, a fact to be deplored, for, though they 1 are better than none, they do not exhibit any i great amount of public spirit on the part of ‘ citizens and are really the dearest house :that can be built. They are seldom made convenient, or comfortable; are considered no better than a cabin by the children, and, after being patched up every year to keep them in order fora time, are finally aban doned for better ones. District No. 8, has taken the lead in this matter. A school house has been built there at a cost of 31,000, that might serve as a model, for many older places than this; yet there is not a district in this county, that is not perfectly able to expend a like amount for aschool house, and never feel it. The trouble is, many who are able will do noth- 3 ing, while those who are interested do not , feel able to bear the entire burden. It is . strange that in a matter of public interest 1 so many are unwilling to render assistance. ‘ It is a fact beyond dispute, that the value 1 of property, in any community, is in propor- 1 tion to the degree of education, the value of school property and the grade of schools. Boston has recently expended $230,000 on school houses. Philadelphia has just voted $1,000,000 for the same purpose. They evidently consider money expended in this way well invested. San Francisco builtoue house for school purposes last year at a cost - of $45,000. Surely this county can aflbrd SIO,OOO for their own benefit; a benefit that would result in the addition of SIOO,OOO to the value of your property. i The amount oi school fund reported to me as being in the treasury on the first of De- ' cember, was $3732. Whole No. ot'Districts that reported, was nine. Total number of children, 600. Being a trifle over $6,220 i each. _ l Dis. No. 1 reported 203 child’n amt due $1263 (A (l 7 (i 57 t‘ t‘ H 354 u u 3 u 104 u u u 647 It U 9 U 44 (i H H 273 lb il 10 H 24 ‘- H H 149 H U 11 r H 29 Ll (I l‘ 180 H H 12 U 27 ll dd (4 108 H u 13 u 71 u u u 441 u u 15 u 41 H “ t‘ 255 Total, 9 600 $3730 This is the way the money has been ap portioned each year that I have had it to do. If any District has ever failed to draw money, it is because it has failed to comply with the law. I hope “Observer” of Tou chet will see by this that there is no stealing or squandering, nor no “sorewloose.” Ifhe cannot see it, he can apply at the County Treasurer’s ofiice for further information. I have been solicited several times to recom mend some series of text books throughout the County, more uniform, if possible. I think the time has now come when the ter ritory should adopt a series of books. Cali fornia has set the example and by an act of of her Legislature has adopted a series of books, that are now used throughout the en tire State. The books were not adopted to please any man, or publishers, but were ta ken on their own merits, after careful exam ination, by the State Board of Education.— Oregon has followed and adopted the some, and now if our Legislature will pass a simi. lar act, it will make the series uniform all over the coast. The series consists of Wilson’s Readers and Spellers, Green’s & Quockenbos Gram mars, Eston’s Arithmetics, Cornell’s Geog raphies, and several others for the higher branches, and I would recommend that our schools get these books immediately without waiting for legislative action. To those who are striving to aid the cause of education in our valley, do not give up, because the clouds are yet dark, for they are gradually giving way; continue to agitate the matter, employ none but the best teachers, and en deavor to raise the grade of both schools and school houses, and you will soon see our schools compare favorably with those in many older places. J. F. WOOD, Sup’t. of Pub. Schools for Walla Walls County, W. T. Dec. 6th, 1864. KlLLED.——David Helm, better known in this country as “Old Tex,” was found dead on the road between here and his home, on Dry creek, on Tuesday morning last. He had left the city the night before, in a state of intoxication, and from indications, when found, it appeared that his horse had fallen down with, and upon him, crushing his breast and breaking his neck. Honest Old Abe calls his party “the IG called Union party.” “So-called" implies doubt. and Honest Abe evidently has some doubts about the “so-called Union party” being in reality the Union party. The Unionists will not feel much flattered by Abe’s fixing the doubtful prefix of ‘ao-called' to their putty name. The “Great Seal of the State of N ends,” is nine inches in circumference. A coil-es pondent of the Virginia City Union says of the seal: It is altogether too large for any practical use. It looks rather ostentatious for the smallest State (in population) of the Union to flourish a seal as large as an ordi nary flapjack. Create: A. Brownson’s “Quarterly Re v iew” has ceased to exist. Its publication was discontinued in conlequeno'o of the ill bulth of Mr. Brownwg.‘ ' . - I COUNTY Pawns—There are now three 1 men in Dr. Kinsey’s Hospital in this city, ‘ all» of whom are-afflicted with paralysis, re sulting from injuries to the spine. Neither of them are capable of moving their lower extremities, and are entirely helpless. They have to he handled and cared for like in fants, whioh‘of course, is no pleasant occuo pation for their nurses. All are friendless and without pecuniary means, and they are kept at the expense of the county. The ex penseof‘ keeping them, we learn from one of the Commissioners, will at the present rates, amount to about .SB,OOO per year.— While the county remains in its present in debted state the Commissioners are power less to make any other provisions for them than they have done. Common humanity demands that they should be provided for, and they will have to be kept where they are, unless the people take the matter in hand and raise a fund to send them aWay, to San Francisco or elsewhere, where they can receive such medical aid as may probably cure them, or at least be kept by a commu nity better able to support them and where the common necessaries of life are not so coetly as here. Wnonc.—-Some very young gentlemen have been taking advantage of the not “ mysterious disappearance” of: _few candy .toys from the Christmas Tree the other night, and seeking to ingrntinte themselves into the “good graces" of their young_" lady loves” by inquiring of them if they got certain nrticlee from the tree, which never had a place there, and then mysteriously hinting that they knew of such articles be ing placed there, and that they must have been clandestinely removed I Boys, that is wrong— all wrong, and will eventually redound to your discredit ; for the girls will, in time, find out the truth of the matter. Besides, by such false in- sinuntionl, you give occasion for suspicion to light upon some innocent person, and thus show yourselfas bad, if not worse, than the person who would be guilty of what you insinuate. Chunge your tactics for the future and go to your “little divinities" and tell them the truth ; that you would have been glad to have made them a present, but your circumstsnces would not permit it, and our word for it, they will think just as much ofyon as if you made them a nice present. Hots: BLOWN Down—A large frame building belonging to Mr. Thos. Evans, was blown down on Wednesday morning, on the corner below the City Hotel. The building was in course of erection and only partially completed. Old Chinook took advantage of the situation, and blowing his blasts with terrible violence through the apertures of‘the frame work, brought the building to tho ground with ntremendous crash. No persomreceived any injury from the fall, but some of the lumber of the building was badly bruised and smashed up. INSTRUCTOR—Limit. J. W. Clawson, of the W. T.

Tun HoLlnAvs.—The holidays; no far, have passed ofi'admimbly in Walla. Walla. Every body seems to be enjoying, in one way or other, the festivities that are presented on every hand. Bulls and parties, shows and fairs, are the order of the day and night. The Firemen’s ball on Monday evening will we presume wind up the festivities for awhile. The Idaho “Statesman” and the “World" are engaged in a spirited discussion about taxing the Hardy Gurdy establishments in Idaho. The Stltesman handles the subject with masterly vigor, and must have made it a. atudy to evince so much learning shout the Hurdys. The World, with becoming modesty gives the sub ject up to its cotemporery. Tnmus 3 Co. sent one of their stages to Wal luln on Wednesday, with instructions to the dri ver that if L boat did not reach Wallula by Thursdsy, to go on to Umatilla. We have no news to report of the doings of our Territorial Legislature.
