But I trust that he will .be fully attended to by the one tlmt stirred . him tip; so I would like to sny a little ubout girW rights. I propose to commence with the youngsters at school, aud follow them tip to where- they set out for themselves, and sue if the girls huvc their rights. ' , Now what is tho arrangement about "schooling the girls and boys ? ell, says father, I wnut to give the boys a pretty 'good idea of the primary branches in Eng lish,' at least, and, if we are able, nny be something higher for I want my boys to be able to do any ordinary business, mid pOdt themselves in mutters and things in general, ia order that they muy dodge sharpers aud take care of themselves. ".Well, father, how about the girls ? Well, .it it necessary that they should learn to read and Writo pretty well, but they won't have much , use for anything more for 'when they get married their husbands will "attend to all their business affairs for them, i and as for botany, astronomy, philosophy, And chemistry, they will have but little uso for them, as they will not find time to even .think much about them, let alone any prac tice ju them, after they nro married and as for music, their children will make as much as they can attend to. But It's ne cessary that they-be taught, to do their 'work right about tho house and kitchen, and at the wash-tub, and to make their clothes iu the latest fashion in order that they may appear well in company and get their share of beaux.' Well, what about their going out to sec tho w orld a little from home, and going into company in or- 'dcr to learn the ways of the world a little ? Well, when I can take them to town as well as not, and they can spare the time from their work, let them go aud it will be well enough for them to attend some of the parties and quillings, &c, for we want ur girls to get married, and this is the best .'way to show them off. ; ' Now, Mr. Argus, this will apply to four cases out of Gve in the rural districts, and U too mild for one half of that four. Is this giving girls their rights f Xow, if jgirls are brought up in this way, what will aihey be qaalitted for ? especially if married at from fourteen to seventeen, as they gen- Virally are in Oregon.

War to the Half bMwera Domilaa aa Ibe AdaaUUlratloa The Uklcaio Tlaata oa Ituctaanan. Senator Douglas nicely timed his arrival in Washington iu connection with the news of his re-election as Senator from Illinois. The indications arc that he will now, in stead' of conciliating tho Administration, wage a bitter war upon it. He made a speech nt Independence Hall, Philadelphia, iu which he used the following language re garding the fight in Illinois: I claim no more credit than you of Penn sylvania. We hiti'e b.-en fighting in a common enuse. In Illinois, I hud the Democratic organization with nin in every county ami iu the State; and in Illinois the enemies of popular soven Laity bolted the regular iioiiiinnt ons, and nttcmptcd to des troy the ora:nzat.on of the Democratic party.

If any men are disposed to complain of party disorganize- on in Iennsylvaii!ii, in .New Xork, or in any other State, let them reflect that it is the result of the example, set by themselves in Illinois. Great applause.! Vromip lion h is been rebuked, and I rejoice in that rebuk,:" . 1 Col. Forney followed Douglas, saying of him: ' ' ' ' ' - ' ' " " lie will make his triumphal entry In the Fedrrul Capitnl, and will go back crow in d with a lunrel, with tire well earned wreutii of the well-won victory no more tho solitary Senator no more the pro scribed and hunted ' " traitor" no more sneered nt by the office holders of a currupt ami infamous Administration; but he goes buck the successful champion of a successful principle." . Tho Chicago Times contains the an nouncement of the election of Douglas, par ades a rooster, rejoices in big type nnd ex clamation points, nnd makes a bitter assault upon the President. This article is very significant. It is the outburst of concen trated and long suppressed wrath. It un doubtedly expresses the sentiments of Sena tor Douglas, and was prepared long ago, ready to be issued as soon as the re-election of Douglus had beconio a fixed fact. . ... JAMES BCCIUXitf, : An unwillingness to say or do anything tlmt might in any possible manner be con- sidered as tending to emliurrass a political j contest in which our friends had a deep per SUUHI iiiw.Ti'KU iius inr many iiiuiiuib iv strained us in that free and candid expres- sonal interest, has for many months re- s'on t)f onr judgment of the acts of the ad' ministration of Mr. Buchanan, - that we would hke to have given to our readers.- The nctiou of the Legislature of Illinois yesterday, has removed the last possible excuse for silence on our part, and therefore it is that we ask the attention of our read ers for a few minutes this morning. In 1854, the Kansas Nebraska act was passed. The author of that bill became the object of all the slanders and villifica tions of the Abolitionists and Free Soilers in till parts of the country. The act em braced an application of the greatest prin ciple of American constitutional liberty. At the time of the passage of that act, and during nearly two years of the intense excitement which ensued, James Buchanan was absent from the United States; he was performing as an official pcuny-post between Mr. Marcy and the British Gov-1 eminent and devoted his leisure hours to speech making at Exeter Hall. At borne, there were men who.knowing his age, and supposing that in their hands be could be made a tool to promote their selfish ends, commenced an intrigue to have mm io;stea upon the Democratic party. Tlie old man, however, was upon one point a little weak. He never approved the Kansas Nebraska act, and had no desire to become identified with it. The letter to blidell upon tnai point never was pnhl:shed in mn. lie shortly after returned to the United States. He was nominated at Cincinnati through the kindness of Mr. Donglas, who urged his friends to give Mr. Buchanan the two- i.;..i mta wtiit-h lip IibiI fuih'H til olitain. ! iiiiiu i.v ......... . - But that convention made a platform, the life of which was the Kansa. , ebmka art, m OREGON CITY, OREGON, FEBRUARY. 26, cation.

Since the opening of 1858, tho Adminis tration lias been, It would Rein, endeavor ing to sound the lowest depths of political meanness. It hus sought to terrify men by proscriptions; to buying men by bestowing I oHice upon them; and to corrupt men liy holding out inducements to corruption. It has dismissed honesty from the custody of the public rutins, and invested convicted knavery with the Treasurer's key. It has stooped to acts from which Botnha would turn with disgust, and which would be con sidered revolting in a despotism. It has sought directly, by the application of federal money, to coerce the people into the choice or particular Individuals as representatives, and then lamented with crocodile anguish over the dautrers which peril our liberties by the employment of money to control elections. Owing to his present position, and all tire pos.tions he ever held, to the Demo crat c party, this James Buchanan, assum ing the tone of a Louis .Napoleon, has sought to dictate to the people of Illinois, the men for whom they should vote. Ho has, through the gang of miserable office holders who hang at his coat skirts and de spise tho fucile stupidity which ullows them to rule him, sought the election of an uunu imous Republican delegation to Congress from this State. The people refused to obey the despot, and he has through his official organs, pronounced them outlaws, lie has told them that if they re-elected Douglas, they should not be represented at Charleston, and, Douglus, having been re elected, it remains to be seen whether the royal edict will bo carried out. The man who proclaimed it, the men who instigated it, and those who confirm it by their action, may never hope to hear the approving voice of the American people. They muy tri umph at Charleston, in the Convention, but God help them before the people) Two years have elapsed since Mr. Buch anan commenced his administration, and they have been two years of deep mortifica t'ou and disaster to the Democratic party.

A Stohy. The Bucyrus (Ohio) Jour nal relates the following: This is not altogether a matter-of-fact world. Romances, tragedies, and comedies are being constantly enacted under our very noses, and every village and town could furnish enough matter to fill scores of volumes, if iu proper hands. One little incident cume to our knowledge, recently, that is worthy of publication. The citizens of Bucyrus will recollect a young ludy, who resided here some six years ago, who walked with a slight lame ness, a scarcely perceptible halt. She was exquisitely beautiful, perfect in face and figure, the only defect that the most criti cal could discover, was the unfortunato lumeness. " Thereby hangs a tale." There is a reason fur lumeness as well as for all other things, and tho cause of our heroine's lameness was nothing more nor less than a railroad accident. She was go'ng to Connecticut via New York and Erie Railroad, when a collision occurred, and frightful loss of life and limb ensued. Miss was taken out of tho wreck with her right leg horribly mangled. , Thero was on the train a young physician from Elyria, Lorain county, who, by good fortune, es caped with trifling , injuriis. Ho distin guished himself by his calmness, activity, and courage in relieving the sufferers, dress ing the wounds of tho maimed, and com forting the dying. Finully, he was called to attend Miss . The accident occur red near one of the small towns on that road, and the unfortunates who retained sufficient strength, were removed to the ho tels of the plucc. Dr. flew to her room at first summons, and devoted his whole time to her. He had accompanied her from Cleveland had picked np a rail- road accquaintunce, and his having been wondrously pleased, explained his alacrity, and the marked attention he paid her, after the collision. A few days passed, and it was found that to save her life, amputation of the injured member would U necessary, She consented to the fearful sacrifice, aud Dr. performed the oiicrution himself, tj,e fa!r pUticiit ctiduriiiff it with heroic firm- ness. The friends of the invalid had ar- , , , . ,. ,, ved, she was as comfortable as could be wished, and there was no necessity for his he had become desperately enamored of her, and on arriving offered her his hand, Ia the kindest manner possible, she de clined bis offer, acknowledging that prior to her misfortune her answer would have been different, but maimed and mutilated as she was, it would be a sacrifice on bis part that he might some day regret having made. All his expostulations and entreat ies availed nothing; she remained firm in her determination, and so they parted she ad and troubled, he more in love than ever. ine sum o. w irons logs gave her means of locomofcon almost , . t of t0 that Mie had lwt j.rv..l.1 waltr .Imnet fit Vfll pri'r vuiii.1 . .... Dr. had, in the meantime, located in Horicon, Wis., and remained single, hop- that tIrae wou j ork cbariges in his fa- i. Al wr. and that Mas Btght yet be ,n- doced to accept him. About two years ; ago, business called him east, and on his rptQrn who should he meet on the cars but . ho was on her ' r way to some in Tow. The Doctor at once urged ft &u ytK)M . , i rait, m the side of Truth iu every issue, 1 859. No. 40. deteruiiued the matter In her own rulud and could not recede. But fortune was on the side of the Doctor. Even while they were conversing, and arguing the point, the train was thrown from the truck by a luckless cow that was lying on it, aud the car the two were iu, was pitched down an embank ment, twenty feet. The hot stove fell on the Doctor's legs, burning the right one horribly. Miss was somewhat Injured, but not seriously, Now came an opjiortunity fur her to re pay the obligations the Dr.'s kind atten tions in her time of trouble had iutosed npon her. During the weeks of pain tlmt ensued, she was his constant attendant. But her careful nursing and tho skill of physiciaus could not save his leg, aud it was amputated. While the painful oiicra tion was being performed, ao idea struck him, and he endured it as good-humoredly as a basket of chips. After it was all over he called Miss to his room, and re newed his offer. She commcuced the old objection, but lie checked her by reminding her that the leg question was settled by the late accident, and they now stood upon one leg apiece a glorious equality existing in that particular. Of course she could not refuse him under the circumstances, aud to, as coou as he could leave his bed, they were married. The Dr. blesses railroad accidcuts. A Kansas Develoihent. Batt Jones, Esq., of Kansas, whoso name was affixed to the notorious returns from tho Oxford pro duct, at the October election of 1857, has recently declared, In the St. Louis Demo crat, that he never put his name there, nor consented that any one else should do bo. He acknowledges that he is blaniublo for this lute confession, but snys that tuc per suasions of frjends and tho excitement of the times have caused its postponement. Messrs. Wulker and Stunton avail them selves of this development to reiterate, in the National Intelligencer, the chief cir cumstances connected with the fraudulent Oxford returns, aud to commend their treatment of them, now so decisively vindi cated by the card of Mr. Jones, to those political friends who have blundered their course in Kunsas nnd put so much faith in the Lccompton Constitution, which, Messrs, Wulker and Stantou are convinced, was vi tiated throughout by similar fruuds.

The New York Herald' Washinglou correiiondent under date of Jan. 15 says: A most im portant movement has been made here to day in regard to the action of Congress oo the question of the acquisition of Cuba. - 1 Tho Democratic Scuators'had a csncoa to-day to consider the jioliry of sustaining the proMMitiou to pluce thirty millions at tho President's disposal for acquiring Cuba. They agreed that the committee having the question In churge should report In favor, reserving, however, the right Individually to rote for or agnlust when the proposition may be beforo the Senate. It ii probablo that all, or nearly all, will vote for it. But sevrru! wish to be left free to act according to circumstances. The House Committee on Foreign Af fairs had an Ituportaut meeting yesterday, aud after au animated aud long discussion they authorized their chairman to renort t) bill placing in tho bunds of the President thirty millions for the puri'lmse of Cuba. . The Senate commllteo will, at its nest meeting, report a similur bill, when the whole qttcstiou of tho acquisition of Cuba will be brought before Congress, aud an exciting debute will undoubtedly follow.. Tho Northern Democratic Seuuturs will all vote in favor of the mcusurc, with the possible exception of Douglus and Drod erick, and the fricuds of the former assert that ho will voto for it, whatever moy be his personal feelings toward the Adminis tration. It has been to nccommodutu tho Southern Democratic Senutors tlmt the reservation of the right to vote as they muy see fit wheu the measure is brought up iu the Semite was conceded by the caucus. Some of them cntcrtuin certain abstract Ideas about its possible injury to the South Jan. 16. In tho euueus yesterday on Slidcll's bill, Mr. Hunter made a speech, against tho proposition, and was followed by Messrs. Mason, Clay, and Shields.- Douglus took strong ground in favor of giving the money to tho President. He thought tho prospect of purchasing gloomy, but was willing to give tho President mo ney to muke tho attempt. He thought thero was but ono way to get Cuba, and that was ou tho occurrence uf uuothcr Black Warrior case to seize the Ulund by way of reclamation, and negotiate after ward, on tho biisis of vti ponidelii. , I Jeff. Duvis was opposed to the idea of forcible seizure, and favored purchase On tho voto being tuken thero were only five votes against Slidcll's proposition. : Another dispatch from Washington says:' " No prominent niun here believes for a mo- meiit that Cuba cnu be obtained by pur chase, or thut Spain will ever negotiate on thn subject. Mr. Buchanan still refuses to respond to the House resolution asking "if this Government Imd been ofiiciully notified that England nnd Fnineu would not permit Spain to sell t uba," J Iu Ucuirs, orally, that any notification relating to our foreign policy has been received from England or France." Some of Douglas's recently warm friends bitterly denounco his courso iu going into tho Administration caucus on tho 15th. They consider it a complete surrender of his political fortunes Into the hands of his enemies. The Judgo declines to meet with the Committeo on Territories sinco bis de position as chuirmnn. THE OREGON llll.t,. The Republicans held a caucus on the 7th to consider their course rclutivo to tho bill for tho admission of Oregon. It re sulted in a general understanding that they would oppose it while tho English bill of prohibition stands in reference to Kansas. Thnyer, of Massachusetts, expressed a dis position to vote for tho admission of shtvo Stutes. At least twelve or fourteen Re- publicans in the House, however, will sus tain the bill, and opposo all efforts to tram mel its passage In the House, on tho 12th, Mr. Ste phens asked leave to report the Oregon bill. Objection was made, and tho bill mnst therefore await its regular time. The San Franc'wo Horald's correspond ent says the bill will pass if it be got up. the orkuox war debt. The Sun Francisco Herald's Washington correspondent, under date of Jan. 14, says.- "The Committee on Military Affair have ander consideration the subject of the Oregon war debt. The Secretary of War desired Congress to come to a conchiiiiou on thut subject. The committee have the report of the Government agents, and am snqiriscd at the extravuiranceuf the chargett allowed. They will cut down the amouul, from six millions to one or two." mew TtaRtToair.s. Jan. 14.
