(& The Jacksonville Sentinel and tbe Herald, of Ike same place, are having an interesting lime of it in gnashing tbeir teeth at each other, and reading one an other out of the "democratic parly." The Sentinel talks thui ef tbe editor of the Herald : "The scoundrel Beggs," "low contemptible pnppy, who calls the nation. 1 democratic principle of the Kansas-Nebraska act a 'splendid specimen of lull born fanaticism.'

He did all ha could in a sneaking way fur slavery before the elec tion, and then was afraid lo vote for il, while the editor af the Jacksonville Herald -advocated "free Stale" up to the day of eleotion and then voted for slavery.

We congratulate them upon the wonderful edict of ihoir influence." Portland 2'imes. Wa brought our "batteries" to bear mainly against slavery. The result of the election might give us something to crow over, if wo were not noted for modesty. Wa may say, however, that our "terrible battery" probably had some influence iu keeping you from voting for slavery, al though you belonged to that party. Speaking of "influence" reminds us that your extreme modesty, no doubt, prevented you from claiming the tremendous major ity against free negroo as the result of your "wonderful influence." Well, to you really belongs the credit of it, for be fore your assault on Lei and, nearly every body seemed lo be in favor of "free ne groes," while after it we noticed there was an almost unanimous cursing of "free nig gers" among area the loco-fecos. tW There has been a general complaint that Oregon papers do not copy enough from one another. This objection cannot to fairly urged against The Argus, as we have devoted muoh of our space to copy ing from the other papers, txcept perhaps the Oregonian.

Sumner. Tho paper is of good size, of neat typographical appearance, and is conducted with marked ability. We are sure the Republicans of California will yield it a hearty support. 53" Wo received among our last steam er files of papers from Ik ever-faithful Sullivan in Si a Francisco " Forney'a Philadelphia Press, " weekly paper printed in Philadelphia by the noiorioa John W.

S3T "The foolish attempts recently rife here to inoculate Ihe democratic creed with black-ebony crafts for or against slavery have resulted in nothing." Portland Times. Yes, we know that whan the judges of election in Portland made a "foolish at tempt to inoculate" Jo Lano'a "blacktha- n y graft" into either the pro-slavery or free State parly, it "resulted in nothing." Bdddi.no, It is a common notion that apple tree can oaly be budded when the bark peels. This is an error which we lately demonstrated. About the first of October, upon trying some of our trees, we fuund the bark adhered firmly to the wood- We tried an experiment by shaving the buik down en the side of a number of large limbs of old trees, and, after slitlin it in the middle, placed the bud under it, and bound up firmly with twine. Upon examining thenr lately, we find only one has fulled lo live, out of about a dozen. This is the best success we have evor had in budding old trees, when the bark was thick.

The October election has re. suited in a free State triumph. Parrott is elected to Congress by a large majority, and " v res Stute" has probably a mnjority iu both branches of the Legislature. Ihe election was a very animated one, but terminated without any disturbance whatever. It is understood that United States troops were posted in the neighbor hood of various towns where there was reason to apprehend collisions between the two parties, but there was no occasion to call them into service. The Legislature, it i stated, will aland as follows : Dem F. S. 0 21 Council, 4 House. 19 Total, 22 30 teT Chase (repub.) is elected governor over Payne (b. d.) in Ohio by nearly 2,000 mojority. Tho demoorata claim a major ity in the Legislature. The Republican ticket in Iowa is probsbly elected by some four or five thousand majority. The vote so far aa beard from shows a Republican gain since the election of last Spring of about 1000 votes.

Occidental. We are inclined to hope, for the honor of our Oregon women, that the "whipping one woman" must be a mistake. The poor, delicate creature, that would be whipped by Czapkay't "slubberdegul lion," wouldn't have courago enough to crack a louse after il was on ihe comb. PROM SALT LAKE ! All accounts agree that ihe Mormons are very hostile to the U. S. Government and have made every preparation to resist the U. S. troops. They bad taken a vote in Salt Lake City to burn every building in it and then flee to the mountains, in case the troops succeed in making their way into the city. Large bodies of Mormons and Indians had been sent out to Fort Bridger, and along tha canyons and da files through which the road passes, to cut off the troops. The following late intelligence concern ing the Mormons, which we take from the San Francisco Herald of Nov. 14th, will be found rather interesting, as showing the disposition of Brigham and hia followers toward (he United States ; "The latest new from Dose ret is of the utmost importance. Tho Saints are arms, and eager for the frnv." Outlying posts have been established, the mountain passes possessed, ambushes planned, and localities selected in which io cache the valuables ef the Mormons. Great Salt Lake City has been abandoned by its male population ; the Indian tribes are in arms and acting as pickst-guarJs to tha Saints ; magazines of provisions have been stored, munitions of war prepared and distributed, and everything has been converted into a general fund to prosecute hostilities against the Government. Our citizens have been waylaid and slain by hundreds on tha plains, by tho Mormons and their savage allies ; others have escaped only by being ia ihoir employ, and supplied with pass ports from their military chieftains. Their Tabernacle has resounded with tha most hostile and treasonable discourses: their Elders have counseled open aggression their Governor, appointed by the Govern ment, has taken the Geld at the head of his deluded followers, in open and armed op position to that Government; and who will say that the Mormons have not de clared war against the Government I "We have already said enough lo con vince the most skeptical, that the Mormons intend and will commit enen hostiliiv against the Government ; but, to remove j the matter beyond all doubt, we will slate, oa the authority of the Deseret News, of the 16th of September, that Captain Stew art Van Vleit, A. Q. M. United State Ar- my, was dispatched to Salt Lake, by Colonel Johnston, with a letter to Brigham louag, inquiriag if the Mormons would furnish supplies to the force under his com mand, and that he waa returned without an answer to this very pertinent question. This silence on the part of the Mormans is equal to a virtual refusal, and will be so regarded by Colonel Johnsion, who was at that time only oae day's march from Fort Bridger, near tbe Mormon out posts. W are, therefore, inevitably led to theconclu. sioo, that actual hostilities hav com. menced era this time. Brigham Young Mid, ia his discourse, delivered in the presence of Capt. Van Vleit : "If the troop are new this side of Lar- ami, remember that tbe Sweetwater is thia aide of that -place. They must have some place lo winter, (or they caanoi come through here thia eeaaoo. we couiu go out and use tbem up, and it would not re. quire fifty men to do il. But probably w shall not have occasion to take that cnurse, fur wo do not want to kill men. Thty may wiater in peace at some place east of us, but when spring comes luey muss go back to the States, or ai any rate iney must leave the mountains." Aa the troop will not "go back," a con flict ia certain to ensue. We, therefore, argua that, if the Mormons are victoriou in the first onslaught, tbe war will proba bly bo protracted, costly and sanguinary. as their leadera will not fail to poiut out th "hand of providence" in their success, to their deluded follower ; and it will also serve to stimulat tbe ferocity and confi dence of their Indian allies." Tbe strength of the command under Col. Johnson amounted to about 1700 roeu, with 250 teamsters, dee. The train con sisted of 130 wagons. The artillery con sisted of 12 piece, as follows: Four 0 pounders, two 12-pound howitzers, four 12-pounders, and two 32-pound howitzers. There were about 2,700 Mormon troops at Salt Lake City and ita vicinity, fully armed and undergoing a regular course) of drill. Gov. Young makes no secret of his resolves, but, upon receiving positive intelligence that troops would be sent to Utah, he manifested muoh fueling, and, in apublio discourse in the Temple, in the presence of some Califomians on their way to the Slates, he said: "I do not believe the army will be able to reach here without my assistance. I think it quite probable, however, that all the supplies will be brought " evidently meaning that- he would capture the supplies, and prevent Ihe troops from entering the Territory. Be further said : " If the U. S. authorities send a Governor to rule my people, whom I shall approve af, he will be well recoived," otherwise, he said, " I will tend bins to hell across lots." We learn, just before going t press, that Col. Stcptoe at the Dulles has sent ia word to Portland that he has advices from Col. Johnsoa to the effect that the Mor mons attacked the U. S. force near Fort Bridger and drove them back with th loss of about 300 of his men. Brvtrw at Iks Financial Crisis. The Washington correspondent of the San Franoisco Herald furnishes ilwith the following review of the crisis by which all the Eastern Stalea have been convulsed, and to which at last datea an utter p rostra lion had succeeded. He says : All thoughts are directed to the financial storm which has swept, with unparalleled violence over the country, carrying down the oldest and best established business houses, banks and brokers, tho manufnet. urers and ship owners, and railrond com panies. Even some of the States will find it difficult to pay the interest on their bonds, or to prosecute their public works. The Illinois Central Railroad Company has made an assignment, being unable to pay th interest on its bonds. The same is the case with the New York Erie Railroad Company. All the banks in the country, with some few exceptions in th southern States, have suspended specie payment. Tbe bank suspension is now considered as general. The New York banks made a great effort to maintain specie payments, but finally yielded to the panic; and then suspension was followed immediately by the banks of Boston and all New England, New Jersey, etc. The New. York bank would, it was thought, have held out and aflord-d relief to the business community, by a concert of action and mutual confidence in each other. But mutual distrust prevented harmony. They first broke their customers, and then failed themselves. The disasters conse quent on this great revulsion reach every man in the Northern, Eastern and West- ern States, who stands in Ihe relation of debtor or creditor. The South does not so much feel tbe pressure, for they have not run into wild and extravagant speculations. They are not much in debt, and their crops are excellent and will soon put them in funds. Mx9 We learn that a prisoner confined in the jail at Salem was shot dead by tha deputy sheriff last Wednesday, ia trying to make bis escape. Dryer as a Teacher at Eltqmett (1) u New Names. There is manifestly an earnest desire on the part of most of our cotemporanes to abuse each other by coining new names for the several new. papers in Oregon. For instance. Adams. oi toe Argus, calls tbe statesman 'Czap kay's Organ ;" the Timea Czapkap'e Or gan nerAer tail," Ac, Ac The Times dubs the Standard as 'The Hospital Con cern. The Standard call the Timea 'The Resurrectionist.' Tbe Statesman has bap tized tha Oxidental Messenger aa 'Avery's Ox,' and the Areus the Aireoose.' The Oregonian was called 'The Sewer,' by the Siatesman years gone by; but it haa dropped that name now. This practice is not only injurious to tbe character af tbo country, but disreputable to any newPa per that adepta a. Call things by their right and proper name, then everybody will know what is meant, and who or what is referred to. Thi practice of banting up low, alang phraie to designate an ex pression of contempt for aa adversary, ia neither honorable nor commendable, as all will sea by a moment's reflection. Be sides it ia an unmistakable evidence of cowardice thas to refer lo aad abuse an other, under cover of a new name.
