l)e Oregon gVrgus, W. L. ADAMS, (MTO AD norllKTOK. OMOOzrcxrv: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1858. McMinnviixe Coi.LEOK.By reference to advertwement It will bo ccn that the next session of MoMiunville College will be opened on AVediiCTiluy, October 27tli, when Professor Post of this city will take his scat an Prolctuor of Languages end Mathematics. The examination at the close of the first session closed lust Tues day, and wo had tho jileasuro of attending tho exercises. This is ono of the few schools we liaro seen in Oregon or else whero where the system of raentul training odojitcd comes anywhere near what we haro always conceived to bo tho only true ono In au educational course. Tho scholars la all the brunches gnvo umuistakublo cvi denco that they had been trained with a view of becoming masters of science, in stead of (what wc have often seen in Insti tutions) a mere skimming of the rurfuco by a mechanical nientul effort to display a wonderful familiarity with rules which to them were all arbitrary, but served the purposes of a show-off for effect upon u routine of parrot-like exercises culled an examination." This may be said of the classes nnder the charge of Mr. Russell and Miss Henry, as well as of those under the more immediate Instruction of President Chandler. The members of tho class in composition acquitted themselves quite creditably, and showed that they had ideas of their own upon tho vnrious subjects env braced in the heading of their articles. We think that out of tho material compos ing tho Institution this class could be much enlarged. We were much gratified indeed to see such an institution growing up In Yamhill county, and we are quite sure that tho citizens of that vicinity will not fail to xcrt themselves a litllo to put it upon a permanent footing. A fine library has been ordered from the East, and a clicmi cut and philosophical apparatus has been secured, which Prof. Post stated was buk- rior to any now on this coast. Subscript tions for endowment hnvo been so success fully circulated that President Chandler and Trof. Post feel themselves justified in tuk ing their chairs this full, with tho view of a permanent location, provided tho present prospect of a complcto endowment doesn't prove fallacious. Tho two leading Professors in the insti itution, ono of whom has been long held In high estimation as a teacher in this com munity, aro both agreed as to tho necessity of more rigid rules iu Oregon than the East for tho government of an institution composed of both sexes. The wonderful precocity superinduced by our climate is every day making developments iu our so cial arrangements that nro indeed appalling to such as have spent most of their days in a climate so rigid that exotics were either produced in hot-beds or sprung np in tho night. Oregon stamps everything with a mushroom character. Our nurseries vie with tho orchard trees in boasting a plenti ful crop of fruit long beforo tho old fogy horticulturist thiuks them large enough to to put out in tho orchard. Our young men swap the nipple for a cigar, and find little difficulty in finding misses of some eleven or thirteen summers who think them selves sufficiently divested of pin-feathers lo spread their wings and fly from tho sec ond story window of papa's building on somo moonlight night away to the flowery fields of matrimony, just as tho heroines of :a hundred romances they have read havo done before. These things being true, what a country for " mateh-muking" in an institution for both sexes! How must a donting parent dread tho consequences of taking his daughters from their dish-wush- ing, their doll-babies, and play-houses in tho garden, and, after packing np their smoothly-ironed aprons and pantalettes in a little squaro box, taking them in his wagon to a boarding-school, whero nono will look after them, and where parental influence is only an Imago of the past faintly stamped upon a giddy brain 1 The Faculty of Mc Miimville College have taken this whole matter into serious consideration, and, walking by tho light of past experience, have very properly, as we think, laid down a basis for future operations that will mr ns urably obviato somo of these difficulties, and direct tho force of Oregon precocity in thepursuit of scieucc instead of the pursuit of matrimony. & A part of Dr. MeBridc's company which went out to prospect for gold on " Mcck's Cut-off," came in last Thursday. Dr. McBrido and Q. L. Woods, Esq., called upon us and gave us 6omo details of their trip. They left about half of their comnanv cast of tho mountains, who u-inr. i - further south to prospect. They did not go to Burnt River as wo were informed they would last week. They found of course no gold of account, but express themselves delighted with the trip. The company were all well, but were so sun burnt that in color they very much resem bled Lane's mulatto. W Tho " Old Ranger" from Yamhill honored us with a visit this week. He is till the some old veteran in the cause of true democracy, and expresses his determi nation to draw the word in behalf of his country whenever the " black democracy" try to destroy th Vdmol Fiiom Frazer's River. Judge Matlock of this city has shown us a letter from his son X. N. Matlock, who went to the mines with Capt. Robertson's train, dated 100 miles above Fort Hope on Frazicr's River, Sept. 3d. Ho had been in tho mines but a day and a half, and of course knew but little about them, but tho miners generally told him they wero making from four to 10 dollars a duy with rockers. Tho river was still high fifteen feet above low wa ter murk. One man hi his company had found a claim whero he got from twenty five cents to one dollar to tho pan. Mr. M. says tho country has never been pros pected, but from appearances ho thinks thero are rich mines there. ' They were 42 days in making the trip through from tho Dalles, and he thinks the distance cqnal to 800 miles, over an excellent country for a wagon road. Two of their men, who got separated from the company, were killed by the Indians. 5T The Rev Mr. Deihl, who has been visiting tho principal points South and lec turing on Temperance, camo back this week, and reports good success. He au thorized us to say that he will again address our citizens nt the Methodist meeting-house next Mondny uight. Ho delivers a very interesting temperance lecture, and speaks with an earnestness and power that carry conviction to tho minds of his hearers. Wo hope our citizens will honor him with a full attendance. Public speakers always lovo to have good audiences. HonsE Thieves. Our vulley is infested with horso thieves. Last week a mau came down from the Dulles in pursuit of a young chap who lives about six miles from this plaec. The thief had stolen a horse some timo since and traded it to a sou of Mr. Holmes of Polk. Last Saturday night tho rascal, iu company with another thief living near this city, stole tho same horse and another ono from Holmes' pasture. Holmes and one or two others tracked them to Taylor's ferry on tho Tualatin where thry took to the brush about two hours heforo Holmes's party eamo up. Tins we got from Holmes, whom we saw on the road near Chchalem Gap last Wed nesday. Upon reaching home, wo learned that one of tho thieves had been in Oregon City thnPdny, and that the other camped at tho Summit Prairie on Wednesday night on his way to tho Dalles. Wo have heard no more from Holmes's party. Last Thurs- dnv a man camo to us and said ho had learned that a Mr. (we forget the name) was down from the Dulles in pursuit of a horse thief. Said he, " I wish I could sec him, for I could tell him .where his horses arc, and the horse thief, too." We uro being overrun with these villuins, and we know of no better way to manage the rascals than was resorted to iu Illinois. We nro decidedly opposed to putting tho county to too much expense in trying them, and wo doubt very much whether we would ever arrest ono of them who had stolen a horse from us, if wo could overhaul him. A horso, thief is a villain who would perpe trate any net for money, provided he thought ho could escnpo detection. There is an organized band of them in tho 'country, and this city is a pretty good place to get posted on their doings. Wo have spotted one or two of them, and believe thero are several more of the same sort not far off. Tho revelations made by Williams, who is iu jail in this city, in regard to men here, nro undoubtedly fulse all got up for a blind, and paid for at a " brush conference" with him before ho was arrested. tQ- Almost every week wc hear of somo invalid suffering under an old chrouic conv plaint, the seeds of which were sown iu the States, who is talking of going to Califor nia for his health. Now why nil this trou ble uwl ua'less expense, when the same ben- clits can be secured by traveling in Oregou? Let any of these invalids take a trip to the Dulles, and thence through Middle Oregon to the Blue Mountains, camping out and using themselves to a mountainous life, and, our word for it, . their health will bo just os much improved as though they spent a for- tuno in going to California or the isles of the sea. Every person who hns ever taken this trip agrees with us thnt nothing is bet ter calculated to repair an old rickety con stitution. fJJ " The General Ne.imith says that so fur ni he is concerned, the ouly fraud he ha been guilty of ii that of loaning a pair of Indian blan kets to Dryer, who luWiiucntly attempted to steal tiicm." Timet. So, then, tho 'General' acknowledges that it wes a 1 fraud' to 'loon' out the Gov ernment blankets to Dryer, a 'national,' while it was no ' fraud,' but a democratic act, to ' loun' to ' Chickopce,' a ' hard'! If it was intended nt the time to bo merely a ' loan,' why were receipts taken for them signed ' Toddy Jep' and ' Chickopce,' who, to pass as real Indians with the Govern ment, mado their ' mark' after the ' Gen eral' wrote their names f Your developments on the ' blanket' ar rangement are not satisfactory. Jfcjy Although we have been in Oregon ten years, wo never learned till lately thnt thero was a soda spring in this valley. The spring is situated about three miles from Washington Bute (sometimes called Lebanon), on the south sido of Santiam, and is said to be something of a resort for invalids. The soda is said to be superior to that of the spring on the emigrant road through Bear River. Why wouldn't this answer the purpose of a lajrer beer brewery ? Jnmah FionT. The news came down from the Dulles on Thursday that Col. Wright had encountered the Indians in force on tho Snokan, about forty miles bo- vond where tho lust battlo was fought, and given them a severe chastisement. Quite a number of Indians, but no whites, were killed. Col. Wright took from them a thousand head of horses. . (ST Rev. Mr. Deihl informs us that Judges Williams and Boise have both de cided that a protest from one or two persons is sufficient to compel a man applying for liquor license to get the names of a ma jority of the voters of bis precinct to his petition, before ho can get a license. tST Czapkuy's lust issuo contains sev eral low flings at Rev. Mr. Deihl, the elo- quoit temperance lecturer, as a rciuuer oi anecdotes rather "broad" and not suffi ciently " ornate" anil "elegant" to suit his fastidious taste. This is tho same critic that once termed the Loulsvillo Journal a " blackguard paper," tho somo critic who publishes a sheet devoted almost wholly to such filthy anecdotes as- would muko a white man blush to sec his daughters reading it, a sheet which has openly and boldly ad vocated tho lieeusing of houses of infamy, and singled out as a woman of bad reputo a ludy of unexceptionable character and high standing because she happened to bo tho wife of a political opponent. What a critic on " elegance" and chastity! tar In attending a big meeting (the largest we havo ever seen hi Oregon) Sun day before last, on Mill creek, in Marion county, we think we must have seen nearly a dozen fine carriages, which together with tho horses aud trappings, wero worth about 1,000 dollars each. Example goes so far that when a young couple, with a good claim, orchard, and stock, choose to make such an investment, of course all the rest who can afford it must follow suit. We liko to see improvements, and tho more of them the better, provided they do not go beyond their means. JST" Tho news brought by the last steamer of tho success of tho Atlantic Tel egraph and the defeat of Lecompton sent a thrill of joy through tlie heart of every white man In Oregon. tSr It is said that Gen. Palmer has written a letter to his wife, in which he makes no mention of tho fact of his having been killed by tho Indians. The strong presumption, therefore, is that ho is still alive. . Thajtks. We aro under obligations to J. W. Sullivan of San Francisco, Mr. Hoyt of the Express, and Dr. Steele of this city, for late papers. We mado a political speech in Mo Minvillo last Tuesday to a very intelligent audience, a goodly portion of which was composed of ladies. tfiF Charles Roberts and J. J. Mills havo been tried nt Salem, the former for horso stealing and the latter for stealing money, and sentenced to three years in the Penitentiary. jQQr The weather is remarkably dry.. We think wo have never seen the streams and wells lower in the country. KANSAS ELECTION. i Over 7,000 Majority against the Lecompton swindle ! I THE LAND BRIBE REFUSED!! Over 3,000 Bonier Romans Staying at Home on I he Da; of Election 1 1 Tho election which took placo in Kansas ou tho first Mondny in August resulted in the defeat of Lecompton by a large major ity over 10,000 votes against, while, ac cording to tho democratic papers, there were not moro than 3,000 for the swindle. The reason why the " democratic vote" has fallen off from 6,000 to less than 3,000 was probably owing to the fact that the Missouri democracy wero needed at home to attend to their own election, which came off on the same day. The Ureal Issue. When the English bill was pending be fore Congress Governor Walker made two predictions if the bill passed: 1st. That the Lecompton Constitution would bo rejected by an overwhelming ma jority of tho pcoplo of Kansas, and of every comity of Kansas. 2d. That the Territorial Legislature 'of Kansas, elected in October next, upon its assembling next January, would call a Con vention of delegates to be chosen by the people of Kansas, which Convention would frumo a Constitution, and submit it to the vote of the people for ratification or rejec tion; that it would be ratified by an over whelming mnjority of the people of Kansas, and submitted for the action of Congress iu December, 1859. The first of those predic tions is already verified. The people of Kansas, by a majority, it is believed, in every county, have rejected the Lecompton Constitution. The criminal has been tried and condemned by the ouly competent tri bunal, the people of Kansas. The charges fraud, forgery, and perjury, preferred by Walker and Stanton in their official proclamations against Lecompton, have been submitted to the electors of Kansas, and the verdict of guilt and infamy has been rendered. Who so bold as now to assert that the Lecompton Constitution ever was the choice of the people of Kan sas T. Whoso reckless as now to deny that Congress was asked ana urged by the Administration to force this Constitution upon the people of Kansas against their will? Nay, more to make it a test of Democracy, and ostracise all who would not endorse these detestable frauds and for geries? , ow, the first prediction of Governor I Walker us to the rejection of Lecompton has been fully verified. But what as to tho second f Will they now proceed, with out a census, and frame a new Constitution and send it ratified by the people of Kan sas for the action of Congress ? Wo think this will be done, thus stumping with false hood tho pretenso that the coplo of Kan sas do uot now desire to becomo a Stutu. And what then? Will Congress admit them without a census showing tho popula tion to exceed 03,000 ? They agreed to admit them under the Lecompton Consti tution with a fraudulent census, showing but 24,000 peoplcj and will they reject them when having certainly a much larger Imputation ? The restriction in the hitter clause of tho English bill Is not binding upon this Congress, much less npon the nextj It con be repealed or disregarded by Congress, and we have no doubt Kansus will be admitted iu 1850, if the people will do their duty in tho coming elections by voting for no man who mvorcu tne lorcmg, without submission, the Lecompton Consti tution ou the people of Kansas. Trust no such meu, whatever their present pledges may be. They violated the most solemn pledges of the canvass of 1850 they be trayed their constituents. They took tho executive bounty in 1858, and would do to again in 1859. Well, let us suppose a new Constitution without a census rutified by tho pcoplo of Kansas, and accepted by Congress iu 1859. Will it receive tho sanction of the President, or his veto ? Wo trust the former, but fear the latter. The same disunion organs of tho bouth, whose threats aud opposition drove tho President from his position in 1850 and 1851, and caused him to abandon tho doc- trino embodied in his Instructions to Uov ernor Walker, we fear will produce tho like result iu 1859. Indeed, this Is said to bo a part of tho barguiu. And what next ? Why, if tho President veto such a bill, he will renew the Kansus question in its most distinct form; ho will make it the direct issue of the Presidential election of 18 GO, which must then be decided by the American people. How it will bo decided it were iusnnity to doubt. Lecomptoiiism and Lecomptonites will be swept beneath the surges of popular indignation, and they will slwre the fato which must ever await treason to self-government, in every Re public where the pcoplo are enlightened and incorruptible. rornnfs J'ress. ' THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH SUCCESSFULLY LAID!! The Qmeen'i and the President's Messages! The laying of tho Ocean Telegraph was completed on the 5th of August. Great rejoicings had taken placo in the Eastern cities. Illuminations in honor of the event had taken place, By common consent, there was a great international jubilee on tho 1st and 2d of September throughout tho United States, the Canadns, and Great Brituin. Boston, Montreal, Buffalo, Chicago, St. Louis, St. John's, New Orleans, London, and in fact most of the leading cities of this country and England, signified their desire for such a demonstration, and arrangements were accordingly mado to carry it iuto effect. the queen's message. To the President of the United States, Washington : Tho Queen desires to congratulate the President upon the successful completion of this great international work, iu which the Queen has taken the deepest interest. Tho Queen is convinced that the Presl dent will join with her in fervently hoping that the electric cable which now connects Great Brituin with the United States will prove an additional link between the na tions, whose friendship is founded upon their common interest anil reciprocal esteem The Queen has much pleasure in thus communicating with tho President, and re newing to him her wishes foriue prosperity ot the United states. the president's reply. Washington City, Aug. 16, 1858. To Her Majesty Victoria, Queen of Great JJrttatn, The President cordially reciprocates the congratulations of Her Majesty the Queen on the success of the great international en terprise, accomplished by the science, skill, and indomitable energy of the two coun tries. It is a triumph moro glorious be cause far more useful to mankind than was ever won by conqueror on the field of bat- tie, JVIay tho Atlantic Telegraph, under the blessing of Heaven, prove to be a bond ot perpetual peace and friendship between the kindred Nations, and an instrument des tined by Divine Providence to diffuse relig ion, civilization, liberty, and law through out the world. In this view, will not all nations of Christendom spontaneously unite in the declaration that it shall be for ever neutral, and thnt its communications shall be held sacred in passing to their places of destination, even in the midst of hostilities r James Bcchanax. now THE USE WOHKS, St. John's, N. F., August 18, 1858. Mr. De Santy, tho Electrician-in-Chief at Trinity Bay, says that he is unable to give any information for publication as to rku working of the cable, but that the time necessary for the transmission of tho Presi dent's Message depends upon its length and the condition of the line and instruments at the time perhaps nnder favorable circum stances an hour and a-half. The reception of the Queen's Message was commenced early yesterday morning, and not finished until this morning; but it was stopped for several hours to allow of repairs 'to the cable. Another Link in the Telegraph Chain. We learn that the Company which was formed last year for the purpose of establishing telegraphic communication between the Island of Cuba and the Amer ican Continent, have completed their pre liminary arrangements, and are resolved to commence the work immediately. This will be a valuable addition to our compre hensive system of telegraphs, and one that ought to be snpplied, now that the Sub marine Telegraph has been successfully laid, Tin Piiksidknt'i Lktter to Bill Eno Lisn. Tho New Albany Tribune publishes the following letter from Mr. Buchanan to Bill English, received by tho lutter a few days prior to the Congressional Convention in his District, and doubtless used by him to facilitate his nomination: Washington, July 25, 1868. lion.

SSF The Washington correspondent of Forney's Press says: "Efforts nro be ing made to induce our Government to pur chase tho " possessory rights," south of tho forty-ninth parallel, iu Washington and Oregon Territories, held by the Hnd-on Bay Company and the Puget Sound Agri cultural Company, consisting of sundry forts, mills, and farms. The value of these premises was estimated by Gov. Stevens, in 1855, nt $300,000. The companies originally asked for them $1,000,000, but have recently signified through Lord Na pier their willinguess to accept $000,000. Skeletons of Men Ten Feet Hiqt. Mr. William D. Frazer writes to the Cin cinnati Gazette, from Winchester; Iud., that half a milo north-west of that place, there is an old fort, including about thirty six acres of ground within tho fortification. The mound iu the centre is about twenty five feet high, while the fort or breastwork is only about fifteen feet. Directly east and west of the mound ore openings or gateways, around which aro other forts. A quarter of a mile northwest of tho fort is the burying ground, where bones have been exhumed of men that were perhaps ten feet high. Any one who doubts the latter statement, he says, may call at his office and see the evidence. The Washington Union ANn Doi'glas. The Washington Union (says tho New York Express) will die, if Judge Douglas don't sure. Douglas is the themo of its leading editorials the week past. Douglas, in fact, runs all through its columns " sol id" ns well as " leaded." Tho editor must breakfast on Douglas, dine on hiin, and eat up what is left of him before he goes to bed. Hoops Immoral. The high dignitaries of the colored church nt Elkton, Md., have resolved to turn out of their society all "la dies" of their congregation addicted to the immoral practice of wearing hoops. This is done in accordance with tho action of the last Conference, which held up holy hands against the practice. The Population of China. The Rus sian mission now at Pekin has, in a recent report mado known the result of the census taken by the order of the Emperor of Chi na. The present population is said by this document to amount to 415,000,000, that of Pekin being about 1,948,815. t- Tho Boston Courier states that the late Amos Lawrence gavo away, for char itable purposes, during the last twenty-four years of his life, from the close of 1828 to the close of 1852, $039,000. . Punch says, " The reason why ed itors are so apt to have their manners spoiled, is because they receive, from one correspondent and another, snch a vast amount of evil communications."
