Eljc rcgon CWguG. W. L. OJmttOZf CITY I SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1858 . Bad Niwi rnon Thompson's Uivh. The rionccr and Democrat bug a lengthy account of David MeLoughlin's trip to Thompson'! Hirer, which it got from Rob ert CoudoIIt of tbii city. The company had a great deal of difficulty on the route with the Indians. Hurley, Evans, and IUce, of California, were killed, and Janice Lower, Wm, Wright, James Menifee, John Rogers, and Jamison were wounded, bat recovered. They finally reached Thompson's River, and, after prospecting and finding no gold, went down to Frazier'i River, and prospected with little success, The company then disbanded and went ev ery man bii way. Mr. Connolly gays they were much disappointed at the golden pros pect We learn that Mr. Reynolds of this county has written back that they didn't stay any time on Thompson's River for fear of Indians. He says they found coarse gold In several places where they pros pected. 19 The Legislature which was to have met in Salem lust Monduy was pretty much of a failure. It adjourned on Tues day for want of a quorum. We have all the while deemed it folly for the Lcgisla ture to try to start the machinery of State government before we get into the Union, but we have taken no hand in the fight be tween the Salem organ and the Times on this mutter. Unlike the man who didn't care whether the " bluck-suuke or skunk whipped," we rather sympathized with the " skunk" in this fight, as be had the best side of the question. Battle with the Indians. The Stand ard learns from "a gentleman who has su perior facilities for gaining intelligence of the movements of tho troops," thut a lurge force of Indians Siiokans, Cceurd'Alencs, and Palouse attacked Col. Wright's com mand a few days ago near the " Four Lakes," some eighty miles beyond Snake River. Seventeen Indians were killed and a good many wounded, while of the whites none were either killed or wounded. .19 It is said thntcno of On. Pulin crs men who lives at Eugeuo City, has come in and declares that I'ulmer was killed by the Indians near Fort Colville, with three others In his train. We can find no one who has seen this Eugene City man, and moreover we learn from a gentleman just down from the Dulles that he heard no thing of it there. . It may possibly be true, but we do not believe it. 19 Czapkay's agent suys that the post master at Sulcm declares that none of onr papers have been returned marked " Send this paper to h 1." The postmaster of course- never said to, as how should he know what was on a paper inside of a wrapper f Tho miserable blockhead, now that he has put his foot into it, tries to con vey the idea, though he has not dared to say so, that he didn't do it, but if it was done at all it must have been done by the " mail robber" heretofore couueeted with his office, or tho editor who he says turned the crunk tho week his sheet ndvocutcd the licensing of houses of ill fame. The idea of having half a dozen Hitipegouts around an office, upon whom to shift the responsibility of dirty nets, ought to bo patcutcd by Czapkay's agent. . His terrible effort to convince, his readers that he is not yet where his exchanges must ere long be sent to, is laughable. XW '' What hut become of the Telegraph in Norlhoi n Oregon f Let us heur from yvu. Jack $ontillt Seat ucl. The telegraph in Northern Oregon has long sinco gono np the spout. The 'wire was once stretched from Portland to La fayette, a distance of some thirty-five miles, but is now broken in numberless places, and lies in dangerous coils in and on either side of the road. We have heard of many nor row escapes caused by horses taking fright npon getting into these singing coils. Once we were thrown from an affrighted horse ourself, and have been terribly churned by a spiking nng a time or tw o siiice, when in contact with the nuisance. We hope if onr friends South can make any use of this wire, they will be allowed to remove it, as it is the greatest nuisance in this section. An old lady who lives on the line, and once rejoiced that it was to pass her house, as it would make it "such a nice place for keeping tarvcm," now declares that the whole thing is a humbug. 19" We are indebted to Asa Simmons of IIowcll Prairie for a fine lot of Bartlett pears. Also to Samuel Simmons for a back-load of tho Seckel, Duchess d' An gouleme, Dunmore, and one or two other kinds wttk jaw-brcoking French names which we have forgotten. We find, how ever, that if pronoancing the name gives a man the lockjaw, he will be immediately re lieved by biting the pear, for we believe that Mr. Simmons has the best variety of pears we have yet seen. We have hitherto looked in vain for an equal of the Harriett till we stopped ot tho Monticcllo Farm on Howell Prairie. ' The fact thai .Yamhill county elect ed Wm. Dawson and M. Oillmore, two sonnd Republicans, as county commissioners, on the some day that Stuart was elected Councilman, shows that virtue has not en tirely gone out of that connty, PnK-KumoM Law. We have bad auv erul Invitations to publish the Pre-emption Law, as there aeemi to be much conflict of opinion throughout the country as to who can and who cannot pre-empt land. The law is too voluminous for us to publish, but we can give the desired Information In a few words, as we get it from Receiver (Juthrie in the Land Office iu this city, who says be has written to Washington and got specific inductions. A man who owns 820 acres of lund cannot pre-empt. If, however, be holds 320 under the donation law one half of which belongs to his wife, he can pre. einpt, provided ho can make oath that he has not left bis land for tho purpose of pre empting. A man who lias had the benefit of the donation act can pre-empt, although he may hare bad 820 acres, provided be has sold his claim and does not now own that amount of laud, California Election. The Adminis tration papers are crowing over a "splen did democratic triumph" in California, Tho Republicans, by uniting with the Douglas-Brodcrick democracy have run the dirt-taters a very close race. The returns from 2(J counties for Supreme Judge give Baldwin, adm., 25,597, and Curry, Rep. and Doug., 24,340. For Congress, Mc Kibbcu and Dudley, both Douglas demo crats, are elected, as the dirt-caters ran no one against them, because, as they con tended, there was no vacancy. The Sen ate stands, says the Herald, Dem. 22, opp, 13; Assembly, Dem. 51, opp. 29. Al though the democratic vote bus fallen off about twenty-five thousand since 1850, the locoforo editors are all swinging their hats, and shouting at the top of their voices that the "prospects of the glorious democracy were never more flatteriug." California Fruit. The Sacramento Union says that 0. O. Briggs, three miles north of Marysville, has the finest orchard and nursery in California. He has 155 acres enclosed, containing 32,000 trees. Fifteen thousand peach trees bore this sea son. Only about one third of tho crop was gathered this season, the remaining two thirds either rotting on the ground or being devoured by birds and two legged visitors. He sends about ten thousand pounds a day to the San Francisco and mountain mar Lets, and makes a few into vinegar, ne employs thirty men at from twenty-five to thirty-five dollars a month, and sells his peaches at from twelve to twenty cents a pound in market. He says the reason he sends no more fruit to market is that it would so' reduce the price thut he could not afford to employ his hands at the present prices of labor, consequently he is compelled to let much of his fruit go to waste. His orchard also contains apple, pear, quince, apricot, and fig trees in abundance, all of which are thrifty and promise well. 19 In passing through Marion coauty this week, we were delighted to notice that many of the furmers are turning their at tention to such substantial improvements as orchards end nice buildings. The man who prides, himself in such improvements is in that respect really a useful citizen, for he not only enhances the value of his own land, but thut of his neighbors. Among many others that we might mention, we no ticed xthat our fricnuJ J. B. Greer, of the Waldo Hills, and Samuel Simaions of How ell Prairie, are both erecting beautiful dwel ling-houses in the vicinity of large orchards which have for somo time been bringing many of Tom Benton's "yellow boys" Into those neighborhoods. We should like to see the day when we could travel from one eud of the valley to the other, constantly passiug such residences, surrounded with shade trees and with orchards in the back ground, and finding ot every mansion i hospitable, liberal, and warm-hearted land lord, who, while he was always ready to " eutorluiu sirungers," wus as keenly alive to supporting the great cause of truth as to making money. 9- The steamers Jenn'e Clark and Re lief are now running between this place and Portland in brisk competition. The Jen nie, however, comes no higher up than the Clackamas Rapids, where she connects with a steam flat-boat which runs down to the Rapids from this city. The Relief car ries passengers for fifty cents, and freight for (2,50 a toil, while the Jennie carries passengers free, and freight for $2,00. Such prices of course are not designed to be permanent, but are the result of what is called " running." ... 19" The Advocate says that from the Assessor's report Portland has 1,746 in habitants, 525 of whom are voters. There arc-1,020 males and 726 females. The to tal population of Multnomah county is 3,102, 927 of whom ore voters. The en tire assessment of property in the connty is $2,428,400, showing an increase of $350,800 in the last year. 19 The Standard says that such is the influx of population into Portland that it is next to Impossible to rent a dwelling-house there. The same may be said of Oregon City. 19 A comet is now visible on a clear evening in the North North-west about an hour after sunset, low down near the hori eon. The nucleus resembles a star of the third magnitude, with a train about ten millions of miles in length. 9 We ore under obligations to An drew Post, Esq., of the Oregon City Book Store, and agent for Sullivan's Express line, for files of papers. " Nkws raoii Dr. McBiiioi'i Company. Mr. Reese of Yamhill, who went out with the company of twenty-six from this valley with Dr. McBride, Aug. 16, has returned, with two others. They left the main com jwny thirteen days ago on the head waters of the Des Chutes. They hod barely 1 rais ed the color but found little gold prospect The compuny iuteuded to cross over to Burnt River and prosjiect before they re turned. , They will probably be back in few days. Mr. Reese says they found the Meek Trail very plain to follow, although It is now thirteen yean since the wagons passed. In places the road is still worn a foot deep, caused by rough-locking tho wa gons down the hills. The country they traveled through abounds in excellent grass In many places a ton of hay could be cut to the acre. The water is said to be mis erable, and as nauseous as Iliiuois slough water. They were compelled to put mint, tea, coffee, &c, in . the water before they could drink it. The days were hot, but the uights so cold that ice froze three quar ters of an inch thick in their buckets. They saw but one Indian a mile distant, and little or no Indian sign. They found yel low rattlesnakes very abundant, and Mr. R. says that a part of the company suffered terribly all the time through fear of Indi ans and rattlesnakes, To give an idea of the severity of the cold, Mr. Reese says that a bucket of wa ter standing fonr feet from the fire in the morning while they were getting breakfast, had a new rim of ice around it every time water was dipped out for cooking. The company were all hearty, and the trip seemed to improve the health of the Inva lids very much. 19 We have received from Fowler & Wells, publishers, another of their scries of hand-books, entitled ' The Form.' It con tains invaluable suggestions to the farmer on the best methods of doing almost every thing pertaining to his business. 'The Farm' constitutes part of a scries of four rurul hand-books called 'The House,' 'The Garden,' ' The Farm,' and ' Domestic Ani mals,' all of which will be scut for $1,00. Address Fowler & Wells, 808 Broadway, New York, now could a furmer invest a dollar so well as In sending for these books T Methodist Statistics. We are indebt ed to the Advocate for the following ab stract of the statistics furnished by the an nual conference of the Oregon M. E. Church. Total number of members 2,111, bei.igan increase of 216 over last year. Of the number baptized the last year, 137 are adults and 126 children. . Of the estimated allowances to the traveling preachers, the aggregate is $26,760 82. The aggregate of receipts is $21,962 87; the deficiency is $5,136 87. The highest salary received by any one preacher was $1,007, paid at Salem. The lowest amount was $54, paid at Scottsburg. There are 51 preachers stationed. It seems to us that when one preacher gets over a thousand dollars a year and another only fifty-four, there mnst be a pin loose somewhere. It may be worth a thousand a year, however, to watch the Salem rogues. 49" The County Commissioners of Yumhill are going to erect a fire-proof Court-house and jail forthwith. That is sensible, and meets with generul approval in tho counly. jfca-The house of J. C. Avery, of Cor vallis, was burnt down on Wednesday of last week. The fire was accidental. . fHF i he last btundam rejoices very much over the Admlnistrat'on-Lecompton triumph in California. 49 The steamer Northerner got aground at Vancouver and was detained for several days. She got off however last Thursday. 49 We hear that a young man, son of Dauiel Bailey, of Yamhill county, poisoned himself lost week, and died in a short time. Tualatin, Sept. 11, 1858 Editor Argus Dear Sir: Thinking that temperance movements of any kind arc always interesting to you, I will give yon a short sketch of what has transpired to-day in this place. Tualatin Temple of Honor No. 1 celebrated its 3d anniversary to-day. The Templars formed a procession near their Hall and marched over to the' M. E. Church, followed by a numerous concourse of citizens. A lecture was then delivered to us by Rev. Israel S. Diehl, a member of the Order in Sacramento. Cal. It was very interesting. A few re marks were then made by brother J. t. Shelton, when the procession was again formed and marched bock to the Hall. We feel more encouraged to go on, waging a war of extermination against King Alco hol, than ever. Our numbers are increas ing, and we have the hope of yet rescuing many from a drunkard's grave. We num ber something near one hundred members. But they are scattered throughout the length and breadth of the country. We feel the need of having other Temples in the Territory,and in view of this, we would urge it upon the citizens of the Territory to send petitions to the Supreme Council of Templars in the United States, for Charters to establish Temples wherever they are needed. Each petition must be signed by those who wish to become Char ter members, and addressed to J. Wads worth, M. W. R., Cincinnati. O. Five Temples would be enough to form a Grand Temple in the Territory, which we are de sirous of establishing as soon as possible. 1 ours Respectfully, C. H. Waher, W. R. Massacre or Ciirihtiaxi at J kopah. A terrible massacre of Christians, by Mo hamodana, took place at Jedduh, on the 15th of June. The English and French Consuls, and the wife of the latter, were murdered. In all about twenty-six per sons were massacred. The daughter of the Freucb Consul escaed, though severely wounded, ; and with 220 other refugees, principally Greeks, was brought to Suez by Her Majesty's frigate Cyclops. No Christians remained in the place. The morning after the massacre, two boats from the Cyclojis, sent to the town, were attacked, and obliged to Ore on those who endeavored to interrupt their retreat. On the 19th, the Governor General of the Hedjaz, who was at Mecca, arrived with 800 men. Jiddab, or Djiddab, the scene of the late massacre of Christians by the native Mo hammedans, is a town of considerable im portance in Arabia Hedjaz, standing on the shores of tho Red Sea, about sixty-five miles west of Mecca, of which city it Is the port. The town of Jidduh Is built of stone and madrepore, and is remarkable for be ing much cleaner than most eastern ports. Its population Is said to be about 22,000, but this is probably too high a figure. It contains several public buildings, including a sma'l fortification, the Governor's house, a custom-house and several mosques and khans. India. The British had sustained a se vere defeat at Gwalior. The insurgents fought with the greatest coolness and cour age, and a splendid charge was made by a body of two thousand Sepoy cavalry. The rebels now work in the founderies which they garrison, and cast cannon with amaz ing rapidity. The Spoy triumph at Gwa lior, and the movements in Oude, the Pun- jaob, and Central India, show thut the in surgents are united, active, and full of cour age. Meanwhile, smull-pox, dysentery, and sun-stroke cut off a large proportion of the English soldiers, whilst many others full dead on the marches in consequence of the weight of the heavy coarse clothing worn by them. By latest accounts, we learn that Gwa lior had been recaptured by the British forces, under Sir Hugh Rose, after a severe fight of four hours, on the 20th of June. Complicated. The British war in India is complicated into a campaign likely to last for rears. The mortality of the army from intense heat is fearful. They beat the enemy at one point today, and take Luck- now, or tawupore or ruttycher, and be reappears to-morrow in some other Futty- chcr rather stronger than be was yesterday, and bos to be beat again. Spaih, Cuba and England. The Lon don Times, adverting to the abuse heaped npon England by the journals of Madrid, takes the opportunity of asking "What is it to us if t una be to-morrow an American, in place of a Spanish possession ? Our only interest in the question has been a moral, not a material one. Our material interests have been in direct opposition to that line of policy which we have pursued on the grounds of humanity. Cuba, In the hands of American citizens, would be a much more productive market than at present. If Lord Malmesbury were this day to give Mr. Dallas tho faintest hint that England would stand neutral in the matter, Cuba, in three months' time, would be a State of the North American t nion. Is it possible that with reference to English views and feelings, Cuba would be in worse hands than it is at present?"

Johu J. Cisco, Esq., United States ireasurer at JNcw York, writes to J. a. Silver, Esq., now on a tour of observation here, that two samples of Fraser gold have been assayed at his office with the follow ing result: No. 1 gold, 816 one thousands silver, 150 one thousands; No. 2 gold, 947 one thousands silver 144 one thou sands. It is also ascertained that the far ther you go north for the gold the more silver it will be found to contain. , Boots and Shoes The whole number of persons employed in Massachusetts in the manufacture of boots, shoes, and leather, is estimated at about twenty thou sand. By the fourth annual report of the iioston Doard of Trade, just published, it appears that Boston is the lanrest shoe market in the world. Recently, several gentlemen canvassed the trade, from whom it was ascertained that there are two hun dred and eighteen wholesale jobbinp- boot. shoe, and leather dealers in Iioston, whose yearly sales amount to $34,100,000; one hundred and six bide and leather deals whose yearly sales amount to I25.650.0C To which add sales of retailers, efc., ?i,syu,uuu and we have the total of 61,- 140,000. A Drop of Wateb Imitiisoxed at the Creatiox. We were shown, at Fleosant Ridge, by Dr. E. F. Bouchelle. one of the most interesting geological curiosities. It consists of a specimen of rock of the prim itive order of formation, and of the penta dral order of cry stahzation, containing in its centre a globule of water movable and vis ible. The water is, if there be any truth in geology, one of the oldest drops of water in the universe, far more ancient than the wa ters of the flood of Noah. To use the lan guage of Dr. Bouchelle" It is a drop of we waters that covered In darkness the face of the great deep, when the earth was without form and void; in other words, this little drop is a portion of the first wa ter that was created during the six days of uenesis, ana oecame entangled among the particles of the rock during the act or pro cess of crystallization. The rock being primitive, or the first of creation, the wa ter must also be primitive. utaw (Ala bama) Obmrtr, The CeifmsUaal Kleetlea.

Death or i Celebrated Aeronaut. Frofessor Lewis Lauriat, the celebrated aeronant, died in the Hospital in Sacra mento, on the 81st ult., at the advanced age of ninety-two years. Lauriat pursued the avocation of assaying metals ot Sacra mento, until within the last two years. He had latterly fallen into very dissipated habits. He was distinguished as a practi cal chemist. His fame as a bold and suc cessful aeronaut is world-wide. tS" Vice President Breckinridge made a speech at Harrodsburg, Kentucky, last week, in which he endorsed the Kansas pol icy of the President. V3f Humboldt writes to Geo. Ticknor, the Boston philosopher, that his phvsical strength is slowly declining, but that he still works, chiefly at night, and can stand it for an hour without fatigue. He is in his 89th year. The fifth volume of ' Cos mos' is going through the press. J& The wise man who " knows wheth er it is going to rain," wr'ies thus to an agricultural paper, on the subject of know ing what the weather will be: "When yoa wish to know what the weather is to be, go and select the smallest cloud yoa see; keep vour eye upon it, and if it decreases and disappears, it $ows a state of the air which will be sure to be fol lowed by fine weather, but if it increases in size, take your great-coats with you, if you are going from home, for falling weather will not be far off. The reason is this: When the air is becoming charged with electricity, you will see every cloud attract ing all lesser ones toward it, until it gath ers into a shower; and on the contrary, when the fluid is passing off or diffusing itself, then a large cloud will be seen break ing to pieces and disappearing." A good Mixture for Leather. Let each head of a family procure a tin vessel, with a cover to it, and take one pint of tanners' oil, one pint of linseed oil, one pint of tallow, and one pint of lard, melt them all together, and yoa have a preparation for shoes and boots, which, if regularly used, wul keep the leather always soft as a glove, and the feet dry. It will be next to impossible to wear the uppers oat, and you will have no corns. It is excellent for har ness. W. V. Advocate. Answers to Correspondents.
