The Chronicle will, from and after hie date, fa to every subscriber within this county, free of pottage, and to every one out of this county, within fifty miles of our office, at only five a quarter.

This amounts to an immediate reduction to most of our readers c-f cents a year on the cost of the paper a consideration that we trust i add a Urge number of new subscribers to our list. One and a half dollars is but a small price for the large aruount of reading matter we fur- in our paper i i the year, and yet there arc doubllcsi many families without' a newspaper of any kind. Such we hope, will new avail themselves of this reduction made JT their benefit, and become at once subscribers to their own county papers. And may we not take this occasion to ask our friends who already take our paper to solicit their neighbors who may not now be subscribers, 1 to become so? It will be a little trouble to them, but a great helj to us. LETTERS NO.

I have, nevertheless, often thought of you, with other friends in Wisconsin, wished that I could compare notes as to climate, fcc. After having resided ten years in Wisconsin. I can say, that Oregon has a far more deferable climate.

The only enow that we hare had the last winter, was in December, when about two inches fell, and remained upon the ground six or eight hours. The ground remained frozen slightly for about fix days. The grass, however, has been green all winter. The peach trees were in blossom in March. Potato vines are now eight inches high wheat one fool.

Clover ie in blossom. You see I must run from one thing to another, without taking time to arrange anything fit for publication. The prices of almost every thing in Oregon are coming down. Common laboring hands can now be employed for three dollars per day, (without mechanics from five to eight. Merchandise of all kinds has fallen more than fifty per cent, in price, within fight months.

The New Yorkers, Bosto- ntane, and Philadelphians are about to play tbe game ruinous game for themselves, in Oregon, that they have been playing for the last eighteen months in California, that is-sending more goods fur a mere handful of people than would be consumed in one of our populous states. Look at Oregon, with a population of thirteen thousand, (about enough for a respectable village,) scattered over a country as iarjje as New York and What can they do with the ten cargoes of goods now on their way here from the Atlantic cities, and a too, when cargoes of goods are daily arriving here from San Francisco, bought there at auction, at, in many fifty per cent, less than New York prices 1 It is strange that shippers do not reflect thai this is the end of the road they can neither go forward or back-- heir goods must be sold. Then what is to be done with tbe Bbip She is very likely to stay and rot, as hundreds are now doing at San Francisco. I close this paragraph by saying, that certain ruin awaits the shipper of goods to Oregon and California, for one or two years to come. Tbe prospect for tho farmer in this country is quite different, provided he is prepared to do o-vn labor.

He must not hire, -The price of the productions of the soil will never be as low in this country as in the elates, east of the mountains, for tho reason that a large portion of the consumers are constantly working in the mines, and as they will be for many years, although I do not believe that on an average the gold diggers save as much as the industrious farmer. TheKlamet mines arc producing now from mix to twelve dollars per day for each laborer. The prices paid for the products of the farm are as follows Wheat, from $4 50 to 00, oats $2 30, potatoes OQ, butter float (5Je to ill 00, cheese OOc, milk per gallon SI 00 to 2 00, beef I5c, pork 18c, eggs per dozea 75c, chickens each 75c to OO, from $40 to 80, horses, about double eastern Building mater iala are all high, except the hardware. $eet Oregon lumber from $30 to 30, brat eastern white pine $100, lime per cade, brick $40 per M.

Mr. Ostraiidcr and Iiis JLibelcr. We give in another column a letter from Mr. OSTRANDKR, in reply to some of the late falsehoods of the Register. We ask 'our readers, one and to give it a' careful perusal, and then determine what degree of reliance is to be placed in the statements of the sheet named, on the eve of an election.

We pity the public a i is so corrupt, politically and morally, a who so far loses sight of the responsibility which his position imposes upon as to make accusations against an opponent which he knows to be false, and which are resorted to only for the purpose of injuring him in the public es-timation. These have been made by the editor of the Register. The bold, impudent charge of this man, that Mr. O. had been in the habit of shaving county orders, while there were funds in the treasury, is as deliberate a falsehood as was ever ut tered.

Wool Depot. About 12,000 pounds' of wool have already teen purchased and contracted for, and 5000 received for carding, at this establishment. This is a good commencement, considering the comparatively few sheep in this, part of the country. We examined a portion of this wool on Saturday, and wore suprised to find the most of it of so fine a quality. We were old that at -least three-fourths of it would ank as first and second quality in the very ost eastern, market.

It is quite as cheap to fine wool as coarse and we hope that hose of our farmers who may hereafter go nto the business, (and they all ought to,) may purchase upon the start none other a he first wooled sheep. The pr'ces paid by Mr. FOKD, range from to 36 per pound. Allowinsr his purchases during the season to reach 30,000 pounds, which we i is not too high a figurej the amount of money which he will distribute among the farmers of the Upper Rock river valley, will not vary far from $9000. The new mammoth carding machine of Mr.

FORD is one of the most perfect articles of the kind we ever saw. It turns out a fin- shed roll, and four us many of them, the same space of time, as the common machine.

In his reply to this inquiry, in which he reviews the license law at. great length, he says that in his opinion the supervisors do not possess this right -that it belongs properly to the c'oporation authorities.

FRIBND HADLKT--Though it may be of no importance to your readers, I deem It due to myself to notice some of the libels and slanders which have been so industriously circn- for the last few weeks. That I have not taken one at my traducerei before a different tribunal, has been owing to the old proverb which speaks of sueing a certain kind of -men. and catching a certain kind of vermin. In addition to the verbal charges made by Nutter ik Co. that, I was a defaulter as county treasurer, the editor of the Register, on the morning of the late election, cornea out with charges substantially to the effect, that I was obliged to borrowr rnoney to pay over the balance diie'from-ine as treasurer last spring; and that previously to that time I refused to pay orders when I hall funds in my hands, and that they were sold at a disr count, while there were $1400 in the treasu- The records of the county sufficiently show the falsity of these charges.

My first settlement as county treasurer with the county board of supervisors, was in November, 1350, and on that settlement, the owed me issued orders to me'fur i amount. There was no money in the treasury, and none was received of any account i (he last of January.fol.lowhijr,when the collectors paid in the taxes collected and I was glad to soil a portion of orders issued to by the county as above stilted, at a discount, the first of the winter, and I did so but I did not. suppose that it was my faul' that the treasury was empty and orders below I put in $173 of my own funds in order to a orders were issued, if possible. But still I arn charged wjth speculating county funds. The speculation was 5 per cent, out of pocket At the time I delivered over the books and papers to Myron i I paid over $17 50 more than was due from me to tho and the board of supervisors at i last session, gave rne an order for that a I borrowed no money to pay to Myron Smith, or any other person, fur the county, and no man ever presented me.

an order, ivhich I could pay according to law, without gelling his money, and whoever asserts the contrary, says what is false, and a he cannot substantiate, To the charge a 1 held the office of county, treasurer, after the first of January last from and have only to say, I know not why the same charge may not be made against every man whq holds an office. From a decision of our supreme court in point, I believed, and still believe, that I w.is legally entitled to that office, and that it was my right, and that it was due to the people who elected, me, that I should hold the office i January next. That right has never been tested, hut probably will be, and if I am. mistaken, I shall not be alone, The falsehoods of tho Register and its allies, seem to have answered tho present pur- posej by electing Mr, Bcslyi register, according to the canvass, by something less than the usual Democratic majority. But I do not believe that they ill make capitol in the long run out of their infamous slanders, But the people will perhaps know what dependence to placo upon its statements just before elections, hereafter.

B. Quiner, Editor State Rfgitter; I noticed aii article in the hist number of your paper, containing gome allusions to the manner in 'vhich two of the marshals of Dodge county discharged their duty in taking the census. These marshals, I can assure you, completed i a labors in accordance i the "census act," and in accordance, too, i i i pivcn them by the secretary of interior--a fact which is well to all intetested, the editor of the organ of the Democracy," perhaps, executed. That the returns were made correctly and satifactorly by (he whom you uttuck, is too well to require -any evidence a (hat they were approved of accepted after being subject of closest examination by constituted authorities, the census board. It.

was not the intention of the census boitrd, by depositing the returns in the office of the clerk of tho court, a any way-farer have free access to them, but entirely the contrary--both the law and the instructions of the secretary particularly prohibiting any such use of as has been assumed by you and allowed by the clerk, so as a an idle curiosity or accomplish. some private pique. If my memory serves me rightly, you have before i made two indirect attacks on ma. But. though ihcy may have afforded your revengeful nature some gratification, I can say had but very little effect in producing the result sought.

However, I tender you my thanks, that being the most plentiful commodity I am able to award you, for the good feeling you me, as well as for your industrious efforts in my behalf, by condescending to bring an individual so humble as myself into notorily. I will conclude by asking a place in your columns for the above, that the public, may have facts instead of misrepiescntation, A I O'CONNOR, Ass't Marshal, Dodge county, Watertown, June $7, 1851, FRIK.ND HAIH.KY--My attention has just been called to an article in Register of June 16th, under the above heading, which contains a tissue of misrepresentations, of a character too serious to allow them to pass unnoticed. It is a pretended account of the (abduction" of a child of Mr. Jedcdiah Clarke, of Shields township, Dodge county and has been copied from the Register into papers abroad, with comments reflecting discredit upon the parties concerned- Perhaps a true statement of the facts would remove all censure from thoFe implicated in the rescue of the child and as I am familiar with the whole transaction, allow me to make a plain recital for the benefit of your readers, trusting a those editors have copied the Register's version, will also make the proper correction. a of the child alluded to has been for years notorious for dissipation and neglect of domestic duties.

To such an extent wpre his cruelties carried, that somo time since, his wife abandoned hint and returned to her friends in Ohio, taking with her all their children, except boy, and a girl who was supposed to have been violated by her a a father, and who was at tho fme secreted (it is in the Indian country of Fox river. Your readers wilt recollect the circumstance of this man's being prosecuted for a rape upon his daughter, some two years since, and of his acquittal because the daughter did not appear against him. Clarke has since been in habit of absenting himself from home for days and sometimes weeks together, leaving the boy in question alone in his log cabin, without necessary provisions or fuel, and compelling him to apply to the neighbors for circumstances became known to bin wife's friends in Ohio, who justly determined to rescue the boy at all hazards. For this purpose Mr. the husband of Mrs.

Clarke's sister, was dispatched with authority to recover the child, and provided with affidavits from the absent daughter (who had meantime found her way also to her eastern friends) and her mother, which, in case it became necessary to use them, would have effectually quieted for father of tho boy, the rescue was effected i the necessity of employing these documents, or the calendar of the next court in Dodge county might have revealed the particulars of an "outrage," surpassing that eo styled in the Registers article in question. So far from attaching blame to the parties engaged in the transaction, all good men should rejoice a the lad has been (as he glad to be) restored to his more humane connections. O.VB WHO KNOWS.
