Editor: I will endeavor to be brief and cool in adding to the war of words about women's rights. , Woman is a human being; and, so far as ; she is constitutionally liko that other hu man, tier urouiLT, tier rijjiua ure me mumu. slaving eyes, both have a right to see. There is but one little difference between her and him: she is a woman, lie is a man. llcsting upon this difference, she has one exclusive right and duty, that of nursing Imr hnlii a nr. her nu'll linsiinl not t.m'llill" mem out to nurses oi uer own sex even, as some of our fusliionably-wickcd women do, reserving the right of ' papa,' however, to .. . r t dandle babies upon the knee, singing to his favorite tunc: " Trot, trot to Boston to buy a cow, Trot, Hot back, there is none now.'1 Some of the rights of woman arising from her humanity, in common with man, I will state. She has a right to dress her feet comfort ably. In winter, mnu wears boots with double soles half an inch thick. Woman, why not rise and strike for liberty and equal rights? But perhaps her pretty little feet are tougher than man's, and the natural soles of her feet heavier. Yes, it may be! However, sickness, light shoes, cold feet, are sometimes supposed to bo nearly relutcd. If so, the penalty of violating this right to sole leather falls heavily upou poor man. As husband, he has nurses and doctors to pay; perhaps to wash and scrub and milk and churn (a share of which is not out of place at any time) ; besides bear ing the loss of that perfect affection which a healthy woman alone can give, and the .distress of seeing the wife he loves in dan ger of prenintnre death. Poor man I al most thou hast occasion to talk of man's rights. But so it will be till tho world practices upon the truth that as either man r woman is oppressed will the other suffer bondage. She also has a right to make her clothes large enough to admit full breathing; a right, I fear, that nineteen iu twenty of our women never exercise. Are the ' lords of creation' the cause of it? She may of right dress in the bloomer or any other style agreeing with economy, taste, and health ; provided, however, that her crinoline shall not extend beyond the limits allowing her phusbond twelve inches in promenadiug a .sidewalk eight feet wide. She has a right to hoe in the garden for ,the sake of sunlight and pure air, and for 4he benefit of useful exercise. ' Idleness is Satan's work-shop,' a curse to women of fashion, and is related as cause to effect in many cases like the Sickles and Key trage dy. Young woman, claim this right of Jahor; and treat with distrust the lad who fg above (below) industrious habits. She has a right to education embracing deyetopnrCUt fit body with mind; having in View the ocevpatV?0 to be followed in after life. She may practice) navigation, survey ing, or wood-chopping. If only a few have the physical power needed in these professions, let those few have f heir choice; why not? She has the right to hold office, Ad mitting her to be inferior to man, if there f one in a thousand capable, and tha peo ple wish her to serve them, she being will ing, where is the great sin? Wouldn't it be democratic ? WpuloJ not any man feel mm A Weekly Newspaper, devoted to the Interest of the Laboring Classen, and advocating Vol. V. outraged by a law declaring him ineligible to the office of President of the United Stntes? I may never bo President, but I want the way left open so I do. Has a womau a right to practice low! Not under tho present system. Its tenden cy is to weaken conscience. The degrada tion of ottr politics is owing greatly to the Influence of luwyers: men whose business prompts them to work for any liody, any cause, upon all sides of all kinds of ques tions, to muke black look white and white black for money. There are strict law yers in the world, no doubt, but thanks to their sujmrior morals and not their profes sion. Woman should not be a lawver. I have thus indicated the application of a general principle to woman's rights, viz: the possession of any power implies tito right to exercise it. Tho question is easy of comprehension, but unless a person will lay aside tho prejudice of custom, he will make ubout as much headway in the dis cussion as a man in the water with life preservers tied to his feet and a rock to his head. Woman is just ns much to blume for her position as man. Both nro ignorant (in a gencrul sense) of their proper relations. and they are taking severe lessons iu the school of experience, Now, Mr, Editor, give my name to no conservative lady, unless well satisfied that I am in no danger from her broom-stick. Salesi, April 19, 1859. Ono. Ratified Inhiax Tiieaties in Oregon AND WASHINGTON TuitltlTOltY, EAST OF THE Cascade Mountains. As our "readers were informed in our last issue, the treaties made in 1855 with mnuy of the Indian tribes in Oregon and Washington Territory have been ratified by the Senate of the United States an event of incalculable importance and advantage to our communi ty, inasmuch as thereby all difficulties iu the way of the settlement ol the country have beeu effectually removed, while in the execution of these treaties more than a mil lion of dollars will gradually be disbursed in this section. Moreover, tho Indians themselves must be materially benefited by the change in their mode of life, which will be attempted under the provisions of these treaties, with the ample means to that cud, which will be at the disposition of the In dian Department. We append certain of the details of these treaties: That with the Waseoes, and Indians of this section west of John Pay's River, was concluded on the 25th of June, 1S55; by it eight million acres of land were ceded for the consideration of $100,000, to be paid In annuities through twenty years; $50,000 to be expended for agricultural implements, with tho further provision of one saw mil and mill-wright; one flour mill and miller; a school house and teacher; a superintend ent of farms and a farmer; black-smith, carpenter, whcel-wright, and other mechan ics, with shops; a house for each employee, and also for each chief of the several bands. These Indians, in 1855 numbering 1710, have reserved for their own use 514,400 acres of land, including some small, arable valleys in the mountains, about seventy-five miles directly to the south of this place. Quite 1200 souls are already collected in ono of these vnlleys the Chit-ike where considerable . improvements have nlready been made by Col. Dcunison, and some 400 acres are now under cultivation, chief ly as gardens. The Caynse, Walla Walla, and Umatilla bands united in one treaty, signed on the 9th of June, 1855, have granted for settle ment 4,012,800 acres; and in consideration therefor are to receive $150,000, in annui ties through twenty years; and are to be provided for the same period with two school houses and two touchers; a black smith, carpenter, whdcl-wright, and other mechanics and shops; flour and saw mill, with mill-wright, miller, superintendent of farming, and a farmer, with other aid. These Indians were estimated at 1100 souls in 1855. Their reserve covers some 512, 000 acres, within the following bounderies: Commencing at a certain corner of Wm. C. McKay's claim, (Wing npon, and near to the month of How-to-me Creek,) on the Umatilla; thence running np the main chan nel of the Umatilla River to the mouth of Wild Horse Creek ; thence up Wild IIor.se Creek to the mountains; thence in a direct course through what is known as Lee's En campment, in the Blue Mountains, to the head of Ilow-to-me Creek; and thence down said creek to Wm. C. McKay's claim, and place of beginning. The Yakimas, Palonse, 4c, by their treaty, signed June 9th, 1855, also ceded 10,820,000 acres of land; receiving therefor $200,000 in annuities; two schools and three teachers; a blacksmith, gunsmith, tin ner, carpenter, wheel-wright and shops; three farmers; two millers; a physician, and a saw and fioqr mill. The extent of tlieir , I reservation is not known to us as we write. : Fort Simcoe, however, is located on it, and ....... . . s . . mil kofd tm observation ana control the OREGON CITY, OREGON, APRIL 30, 1859. favorite winter resort of theto Indians, as well as their fisheries. llio Mt Pcrccs signed their treaty on tho 11th of June, 1855, and surrendered fur settlement 15,480,000 acre of land, incliid nig the homo and lauds of Lawyer. For murderer of hit own peace and the Iinppi these broad acres they are to receive $200,- ncss of his fumily. The fourth communi 000 in annuities; and are to be further sup plied with mills, schools, teachers, millers, mechanics, mid all the requisites for an cmelioratiou of their condition, and a grnd ual approach to the extent of their capac- ity to that or the white races for which they have aspirations. . iVuother treaty was made on tho lCth of July, 1850, with the Flat heads, Kootcnays, &c, who then granted for settlement some 14,720,000 acres of land, for the sum of $120,000 in annuities. They uro also to be provided with a school aud teacher; saw and flour mill, and mill-wright; mechanics and shops; two farmers; a physician, hopi tal aud books all for twenty years. Their reservation covers 1,200,000 acres, and they number about 1700 souls. Dalle Journal, The Bio Ship a Bio Huunio. Some of tho English journals indulge iu the most extravagant anticipations of the exploits to be performed by the mammoth steamship Great Eastern, particularly iu time of war. She is first pronounced capable of sinking whole fleets by the Are of her batteries, and also by running thcru down. Then she Is capable of landing an army of ten thousand men, who, in the language of the Illustrated News, can be perfected in drill on board during the passage, and be ready " to step from the deck to the field.'.' The Boston Traveler says: AH this may be realized, but we appre hend there will be found some difficulties in the way. What, if in ft violent storm in mid-ocean, the great steamship becomes unmanageable and goes down with nil her living freight of 10,000 men? As to an army " stepping from her deck to the field," there will be but few harbors in the world where she can tnko refuge, mid her men will have to be landed iu boats, which will be ns much exposed to fire from the shore as any boats coming from smaller vessels. There ore few beaches where a landing can be effected which can be approached by her within several miles. As to running down and sinking every vessel which she sees, tho low and strong prow of n much smaller vessel, striking the great hulk of tho mighty steamer at the water line, may do her somo fatal injury; and it may be found that she is not so ciis'lv and rapidly hnuilled ns to bn available for all the (L'udly purposes which are contemplated. Desks and Seats in Congress. The select committee of the House of Congress to whom tho subject wus referred have re ported unanimously in favor of removing the desks from the Congressional halls. They say that there is little doubt, if the desks were removed, a very decided im provement would take place' in the charac ter of Congressional speeches. Members now relievo themselves from dull and prosy speeches by resorting to letter writing or reading; anything, in fact, which will save them the mlliction or listening. But if they had no sued remedy as this, they would resort to the more direct expedient of stop ping the mouths of such speakers altogeth er, and to save the time And patience of the house. An advantage in removing the desks would be that it would admit of a re arrangement of the seats, bringing them within an area more compact, where every member could distinctly hear what is said. This would tend not only to better under standing of the business before the house, but would also conduce io better order, for there would be no necessity for the members to scream themselves liourse in order to be henrd, or to catch the Speakers eye to ob tain the floor. The neighboring committee rooms afford all the facilities required for writing of resolutions, letters, Ac. The committee propose that the alteration shall be made after the adjournment of the pres ent session, and Congress, if it once tries the experiment, will find so many advantages result from it, that it will not be disposed to return to the desks. Distilleries and Whisky in Ohio. There are 1G0 distilleries in Ohio, confined to 66 counties. Thirty-one comities report " no distilleries." The quantity of corn dis tilled in 1857-8 was 11,714,985 bushels. Whisky made, 39,029,504 gallons; in bar rels 780,591. The exports from Ohio were 436,578 barrels. Seventy four counties enumerated 6405 'drinking houses,' and the remaining fourteen would swell the number to 7500. The commissioner makes the annual consumption of these 100,000 barrels. In the commercial year 1856 (when the brandy crop of France failed,) 530,000 barrels were sold in Cincinnati. A Brief Distort of Four Clerks. A writer iu the New York Tribune states that in the winter of 1854 '5, fonr young ' .,, ... . .1 Bank clerks used to meet for euchre play-; ing alternately at' their residences in Brook lyn. These meetings continued pleasantly for a while, the party keeping esrly hours, and no gambling being allowed. A year later the party was not reorganized, but met accidentally on Christmas eve at a raf- J , fie in Brooklyn. The downward path was already entered npon. The results sura np ' as follows: One of the young men is trav- eling in Europe, Lis boudanicu laving paid , L . j f 3,000 for him, in which sura, he was de-' fnulter at the Bunk where lie was employed Another it in tho giug Sing priwon for forg- ery. The third, Oscar S. Field, tho recent 'defaulter iu Brooklyn, and now wandering - , with tho mark of Cain upon his brow the cates these fucts, and concludes his story thus And as tho latter casts a glance over the past, a shudder creeps through his frame as ho thinks over the fate of his companions, and ho thanks a merciful God that saved him from the abyss into which ho had al- most plunged himself. There were other Bank clerks among tho party, and ere long their defalcations must j come to light, for they havo been possessed of sums which they could not have como by honestly. A Gallant Act. Recently at Monte video, whilst a French frigate was returning an American sulutc, one of the gunners hud his arm blowu off. As soon as the fact was known iu the American squadron a subscription for him was started, which pro duced, among ten ships, the very handsome sum of $1,400. Upon its remission to him the French Admiral addressed to the Amer ican one oi inose charming little notes, so graceful in the French language, but which a translation can hardly reproduce, and iu which he said that although degrees of lat itude and longitude might bind the geo graphical limits of our country, and deter mine the allegianco professed to its flag, there were no such confines to the gcncros ity of the American sailor, Tub TiAa One Thoi'saxd. .lust its this centu ry drew to a clow, various eircuinsiauves concurred to produce a change in mens unudi. It was a universally ditfusrd belief that the world would come to an end, when a thousund years from the Savior's birth were expired. Tl e year yj'J was therefore looked upon us the lust wh.ch any ono would tec. AIM it ever aiptia ol approaching dis solution were shown in heaven and earth, then the people et Ibis century miulit be pardoned for be liev.ng that they were made visible to them. Kvin the breaking up of morals nu.l law, aud the wide delude of sin which ovempnad all hinds mitflit have beon tuken as a token that all niank nd were deemed unfit to occupy the earth any more. Iu additicn to these appulhng symptoms, famines were renewed from yeiir to year in st.ll incrersinj uilt n ity, and brought plague and pestilence in their train. The laud wua left uiitlied, the house un repaired, the right unviudicatod ; for who would bike the useless trouble or ploughing or building, orquarreiling about property, when m few moulds were to put an end to all terrestrial mteretts 7 Yet even tor the few remain ng duyi, the multitude must ne led. Kokbers frequented every loud, en tered even into walled lowns; aud there was no authority left to piolect the weak or br ng the wrong doers to punishment. Com and cattle were at length exhauted and, in a greut part ol' the continent these extremities were endured, and when endurance could go no further, the last desperate expedient was resorted to, and human Hull wua commonly consumed. One man went so fur as to exmje it lor sale in a market-town The horror of th.sopen confession of their needs was so great that the man was burned, hut more for the publicity of his eowluct thun fr his inhe rent guilt. jUespair gave n loom re n to .all his pas- sons. Aoliiing was sacred, nothinir safe. Kven when fond might have beeu hud, the vitiated taxte made bravado of iti deprivation, and women and children were killed and roasted in the m.idneas of the universal fear. Meantime the gentler na tures were driven to the wildest excesses of fanat icism to find a retn at from the impending judg ment. Kings and Emperors begged at monastery doors to be adm tted brethren of the Order. Hen ry ol Germany and Robert of Km nee wero saints, according to the notions of the times, und even now deserve the respect of mankind lor the nimp'iciiy and benevolence of their characters. Henry the Kinpemr succeeded iu being admitted as a monk, and swore obedience on the hands of the gentle ubbutt, who hail failed in turning b in from his purpce. " Sire,'1 he said at length, " since you ma under my orders, and have sworn to obey me, I command you to go forth and fulfil tho duties of the State, to which God has called you. Go forth, a monk of the Abbey of Su Vanne, but Emperor of the West." Holier t of France, the son of Hugh ('upet, placed himself, robed and crowned, amongst the choristers of Sf Dennis, and led the musicians iu singing hymns and psalms of their own composition. Uiwet men were satisfied with sncrafiu.ug the mark of their knightly and e gno rial rank, and placing baldrics and swords on the altars, and before the images of saints. Some muuuinitled tlie.r serfs, and bestowed large sums upon charitable trusts, commencing their disposi tion with words implying the approaching end of all. Crowds of the common people would sleep nowhere but in the porches, or at any rate within the shadow of the churches and other holy build ings ; and as the day of doom drew nearer and nearer, greater efforts were made to appease the wra'.h of Heaven. i'eace was proclaimed between all classes of men. From Wednesday night till Monday even ing of each week, there wua to be no v.olence, or enmity or war in all the land. It was to be a truce of God. And now came the dreaded or hoped for year. The awful Thousand hud at last commenced, and men held their breath to wuteh what would be the result of its arrival. "And he laid hold of the Dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil aud Satsu, and bound li ni fur a thou sand years, aud cast h m into the bottomie p t, and shut him up, and i-et his seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no moie till the thousand years be fulfided, and after that he must be loosed a little season." (Kev. 22 : 33.) With this text all the pulpits in Christendom hud been ringing for a whole generation, and not the I pulpits only, but tne refeciion hulls of convents and the cotuiges of the starving peasantry, lu'o the castle, au, of the noble, we have seen it had pen etrated ; and the most alject terror pervaded the superstitious while despair as in shipwreeked ves sels, displayed itself, amid the masses of the popu lation, in rioting and iusubordinatioa.

The mnu is taciturn, and sleeps apparently as much as he can, The woman has a slightly subdued expression of fucc, aud looks a good deal at the scenery along tho road, of which she snys, for the most part, nothing. When she does speuk, ns some times happens at the sight of something very remarkable, she says, " See John I" that is all. Tliu man looks carefully after tho baggage, and assures his spouse, in ri'ply to a question, that it is " all right." The wo man takes enre of tho small " traps," and seems comfortable and contented. Alto gether, they behave quite rationally, aud, iu spite of tlieir seeming unsociability, are really very fond of each 6ther, and will mnko a very pleasant trip of it not only to the end of tlieir ruilroad tour, but to the termi nus of their matrimonial journey.
