Holy" Writ snys 'a house divided against itself can't stand,' and If, that declaration was irue eighteen hundred years ago; it is truc'now. Common sense tells ns thnt it is unconge nial to humnp nature, and basely wrong, Why, if you were to enter into copartner ship with an jpdividuul iu the mercantile business, each 0110- furnishing one - half of the stock, what would you think of him If ho. were to.appropriuto all the proGta to his own BSfl, call it ,.his, and console you by tcljipg you. whcuevtr you wanted anything to call Kin him and you should have it. -I dou't know how you would feel, but I ra ther guess you wpuJd be , quite anxious to dissolve pnrtucnsltip -iu double quick time, and set up on your own responsibility. And yet you and ' your 'mnscnlinc brethren are doing !tbe very same thing every day of yotir lives: :The rciat'ons' of husband and wife are more binding and Indissoluble tlinn it Is jjossiljle' for iny other compact to be, nnd'jnst hi proportion to the binding force and effect of the 'obligution Bhould be the' oneness of ltrterests. ' If I were to marry a mart,'' it would matter not'whethcr I per sonally owrwd one half or all the estate I would not, neither would I have any de sire to, call any portion my own and .de mand it exclusive control;, and yet I would have just as good a right as ray, husband would. , Yet the laws of our country, and the long-establislwd customs of, all nations, vest tbe right of all property entirely in the hnaband presuming, I suppose, that the narrow-mindedness of woman ia such as to render ber unfit for jU management and control.

I have no doubt you all regard it as a small mutter, but let me . say to you, Try it, try it aud then you will know, 1 tliiuk, by the time you would stay at homo alone for a few days, with a knowledge of the fact . that your wifu's absence was un necessary, and that she was only 'loafing, around to kill time,; you would, swell with indignation, and pour; such a shower of abuse upon : her devoted - head thut she would tnmblu ia her shoes. 1 1 know yon wouldn't stand it I've seen it tried; and yet, particular ns you are about your wife's abseucCft you can go off with a great deal or indifference und slay a whole week.

Atwts Dear Sir: Huving fully satisfied myself that neither of the gentle men referred, to iu my report of tho 28th or Sept, lust, and published iu your valuable paper of the 10th of Oct., intends to favor tho public with a journalized report, as an ticipated and much desired, I deem it due the public,, as well as an act or justice to the company engaged on that expedition, to subjoiu a few facts and reflections. i , And first, should our Government ever see fit to grunt to the people the privilege and opportunity of building the Pacific Ruilroad, this new emigrant road entering the Vulley nt or near Eugene City merits a strict and careful examination, , The eleva tion in the ground, in passing up that roud on horseback, is no more than perceptible, if it is at all perceptible much tho same, however, as from your city to Salem, thence to Albany, and Corvallis., ..The present road ruus mainly in the river bottom, pass: ing however over the projecting points of a few obtuso ridges, which .might be easily avoided by grading round the point next the stream. ., Tho first twenty miles from Eiigcno C'y is cither prairie or Very open timbered land; all tho baluncc Of tho way to the summit of the Cascade range is tira bercd; with tho exception of two or three small prairies. But tho tiinlier is not so crowded nor so large as is common (n the Cascade mountains. Thc route all the way from Eugene City to the summit of the Cascade range, a distance of perhapa 120 miles, or at least 100, is capable of a first- class railroad, with the exception of about three miles next the summit, where we ap proach a steep hill .entirely, beyond the ca pacity or the fiery, snorting iron horse. , A good wagon road might bo mauo however by turning to the left, so aa to ,form an acute angle with the present road, grading tbe way. . But off to the aoutn auow a mil? and a half, there ia a deep, continuous canyon, which passes ronud the hill, and apparently cnU through the summit ridge. Should this pass by this canyon b as prac ticable aa it appears to be when viewed at a short distance, it i indisputable that there is no natural obstruction, impediment, or .
