A corrwiioudent of the Dulle Journal girei a very interesting account of the trial trip of the new steamer Col. Wright, which made the trip from the mouth of the Dca Chute to Fort Walla Walla, a distance of one hundred and thirty mil'-, and back again in two and a half days. The boat started April 18, and returned on the 20th, running down In seven hours and a half. Wood is scarce along the river bank, and In places is hauled from the mountain tlopcs several miles distant at a cost of ten dollars a cord. At one point they found an Indian standing by a pile of wood he had chopped, gesticulating furiously, and beckoning the boat ashore to buy bis wood. Some of the Indians gathered along the batiks to gaze iu mntc astonishment at the first "fire-shi)" they had ever seen, while- others fled with terror to the mountains at iu approach. The scenery on either side of the river is said to have been magnificent. Snow capped mountains with timber-skirted bases in the diMance, with gra.-s-covercd hil!, green Tallies, and undulating plains dotted with Indian horses, nearer by, with here and there a mountain stream disemboguing itself through rocky defiles into the mighty Columbia, made up a panorama ujion which one might have dclighti d to gaze.

Wc know him welt, nnd his evidence has satisfied us that the chess will conic from diseased wheat. If we could only discover u method of turning the vile stuff buck to wheat again, it would not be so much matter. - Diamonds arc nothing but pure carbon, or fixed air, which cua by a chemical process be resolved into a gas oin clement.

All the prisoners broke jail at Portland last week, among whom was Pi.ilch, who murdered his son-in-law; Gunisey, nnothcr murderer, with several stars of less magnitude. Wo have already spoken of the general jail delivery nt this place. We hear that the Dalles jail has been emptied. The next thing tlmt may be looked for is the escape of Lawson, the mur derer confined nt Hillsborough. There seems to be no use anv lomrer in nrrestiii" thieves nnd murderers. The farce of ar- rcMing, trying, and confining them serves only to run up heavy bills of expenses for tax-jiayeis to foot. Why not petition the Legislature to ubolish the wholo criminal code?

EniToit: I notice by the Argus of April 1, 1 a revolution endorsed by the Democrats of Mohdla precinct, rel ative to tiie Constitution of the United States recognizing negro slaves ns property only, which has created considerable sensa tion among some in this neighborhood.

They certainly know full well that the true Democratic party has no nnti-sluvcry principles about it, that the Republican par ty has no pro-slavery pnnc.jihs tlmt me issue between the two parties docs not con sist in the measures or means of carrying out or extending their principles that thes j questions,' popular sovcrc'gnty,' ' squatter sovereignty,' ' power of tho gen crul Government,' Ac, but mark the vari ous points of uttack, retrenchment, and political manotiver, upon the great buttle field of slavery and freedom that the an nexation of Texas wns procured by the pro- bfavery, or Democratic party as a means of extending slavery, and strengthening the slave breeding power. This is too evident to be questioned, from the general commo tion throughout the South in anticipation of the gluriott) impulse which slavery wns to receive on the consummation of the proj cct, and from the declarations of Southern statesmen. Tiny also know that the Mis souri Compromise, that compromise almost sacred for the pence anil quiet it secured to the American people, ' that healing bnhn to the wounds of sectionalism was not burst up by tho Democratic party because of its unconstitutionality, ns alleged, but that slavery might be extended thut popular sovereignty was not seized upon nnd pro claimed to admiring millions by the Demo cratic party because of its constitutionality or justice, but that the Missouri Compro mise might be displaced and slavery u tend ed ly Democratic rates that pi'j iilar sov ereignty was not finally repudiated by the Administration because it was discovered to be unjust, and the opinion proclaimed that slaves arc not 'people' but 'projicrty' because such a position is constitutional or humane, but becauso popular sovereignty proved to be a poor subterfuge for the ex tension of slavery, and the Cat of the Su preme Court would establish the Southern institution, coextensive with the Coastitu tlon. Yet, in view of all these faet',un overwhelming majwity of the propte of this State have voted to restrict slavery, have refused to srrjiportthc National Democratic parti of this country, and still call them selves Democrats.

'' In 1830 tho county was taxed for build ing tho Courthouse ut Sand Ridge. ' The contract for building the house was let to t prominent citizen of the county. The fol lowing year the county scut was relocated ut Album', ufter which the Commissioner! gjttlcd with the contractor ami paiillii between threo oml four hundred dollars lo throw up the contract, after which a Dcu ocrutlc officer 'of the county informed a res ponsible citizen that there then remained la tho treasury a surplus of nine thousand dol lars. Some time ufter this conversation th said responsible citizen, interrogating an Im portant office-holder of the Democratic par ty where the Courthouse tax was, received the unwelcome reply that it never was ia the treasury. Now, this Courthouse tax was colht-tcd, as scores of tax-payers full well know, and in addition to this, our an nual tax has been constantly increased to meet our county and Territorial expenses. Till better informed, we nre left to draw the unwelcome inference thai most or all of this money was paid over to Mr. Delazan Smith, to defray his traveling expenses mil render him ull necessary aid in canvassing the Territory from time to time, to sustain the Pcsuocrutlc purty in Oregon.
