He got lost in the woods, his commissary stores gave out, and for twenty days he traveled living on berries and roots, At the end of that time he arrived at the mouth of the Klaskanine river» about thirty miles from Astoria. Having lived so long almost exclusively on berties, he was very nearly in a condition to be buried when found. Hither from exposure or fright. the poor fellow’s hair and beard had got loose, so that upon the mere touch they would} fall out. Altogether, he was the sorriest specimen of whom we have any account smncethe days when Nebuchadnezér went out to grass. ImporTANT TRADS.—The announce mentthat a large quantity of California blankets have been ordered from the East is important. If they can be made here at a cost that will afford them shipment East, the effect will be te build up a large manufacturing interest. on this coast, The California blankets are the best. manofactured, and ot course will bring the best price ; go that if the difference is not too great, a market may be found for them throughout all the Northern States. Wool-is cheaper here than at the East, which makes up the difference in the cost of labor ; and it would be an im¢ mense advantage to this State if our wool product could all be manufactured at home, instead of shipping the raw material East. CaLivoRNiaA BLANKETS. A San Francisco dispatch to the Record, says A. T. Stewart, the dry goods king of New York, has ordered from the Mission and Pacific Woolen Mills a, large quantity of the best make of California blankets. The order is expected te-taxing at least two and a half or three the capacity of both the mills, from now until January next, to the utmost. W.hen shipped in bales, there will be about sixty car, loads, of 600 tons. It ig -expected that this contract will make the wool market more lively, as the necessary Stock’ ismotinhand. It is rumored on thé streets that the Capital Woolen Mills will be leased, ip order to carry out the agreement in time. _. Gas.

These houses will be able to send out a large number of the

The cost* of running the mills, with this force, is about five thousand dollars more than would be the costof running mills of the same capacity at the East, but the lower price of wool enables the owners to offset the cheaper labor at the East, and léave them a small margin for profit. Mrxonity REPRESENTATION— The majority in Ulinois. for that clause of the Constitution providing for minority representation is said to be 20,000. Considering that the question is new, and that the American people are slow to make radical changes, it is a matter of surprise that it was adopted. We attribute its adoption to the fact that the question wes not made a party issue, and was decided on its merits, according to the best judgment of the voters, Aw Ancient RaTrLeR.—The San Rafael. Journal of the 9th inst., says that Wim. A.

THoMAS CotTREL has been nominathe Fifth District of Indiana. PARTMENT.—The Secretary of the Interior perpetrated a huge joke the other day on that sagacious Sioux warrior—Red Cloud. They had been dis. cussing the relative tempora) advantages aud well being of the white and red mad, and it seems Red Cloud had expressed some surprise at the wealth of the whites, wondering what inducement the plunder of a few Indians could be toa nation so -rich and prospressed himself as anxious to enjoy a little of that prosperity he saw aroun him. Said he. “The Great Spirit sent the Indians into the prairies naked ; He raised them just as ‘they are, but you He raised to read and write, and put wealth into your hands; bat i am not so.” ‘Whereupon oar wortlry Secretary, touched by a pious commisseration, assured him that we could: not world, but must leave it behind us. .
