O. L. Trip Acra (he l'.ciilr. En. Aniii's: The untU-rsignwl, in compa ny with Andrew Wylic, Hervey Wylie, nnd John Brandenburg, set out September iith from nciir Sweet Nome alley, in Linn county on an expedition for adventure and observation over tlio Cascade mountains. We followed an old trail up the South Fork of Suiitiain.' Our first camp, fifteen miles from our starting point, was on a small prairie, a littlo beyond a remarkable bill eall the Elephant, which seemed to block our way, but which we crossed by a wind in nalh without difficulty, lhe next "O I morning wc moved forward a mile to Duck Prairie, where we remained thut and the three following days. This is a good-sized prairie, surrounded by lofty mountains with their vast forests of ever-green. Nero we fouud uliundanco of game, nnd supplied ourselves with meat. Following the path, wc pushed forward, and during tho day we passed Summit Prairie, which is about two miles long, and halted in the evening at another prairie a mile further on. Wc had now come to the end of the trail, and must thread our way as best wo could over lofty mountains nnd tliroiiuli trackless forests. To the south of this camp lay an elevated mountain ridge, which we ascended, and enjoyed a most grand prospect. Here a enow peak, ami there a dark green moun tain, all iu wild and magnificent confusion, while away to the west the valley of the Willamette- was iu plain view. Having spent two days in explorations for a route eastward, wo determined to follow the uhove-uieutioned ridge, which led us down a long and steep slope of open timbered country, which was thickly covered with 1 soap grass,' so called from tho supposed so.ipv qualities of its roots. After making tliis descent, we wound through a gap, nnd soon after we came to a prairie, where wc struck what is supposed to be McKay's Trail. Wc traveled this dry about fifteen miles. Here we saw the greatest abun dance of deer of unusually large size, and very fat and line. We followed McKay's Trail two miles, but losing it, we pursued our way through an open, undulating, nnd elevated region, overgrown with hurtle berry bushes, which were loaded down with fruit. During the afternoon, we passed an encampment of Indians who were engaged in laying in a winter's supply of meut nnd berries. Wo camped on a high ridge. In the morning, we turned the southwest angle of this ridge, nod ascended a high peak. Judging from our observation thut we could not penetrate the mountains further iu that direction, wo returned to near our last camp, anil were detained two days by rain and snow. . On setting out again, wc went west two miles, nnd then turned north on an Indian trail, which wc followed about three miles, when, bending our courso to the northeast, we crossed a branch of the McKcnzie. Here we did some tall climb ing. Before us lay a mountain whose top was distant some three miles, and about as steep and difficult as white man's horse ever sealed. Lato in the evening, and after most wearisome efforts, we reached tho top and found an open grassy country. And at the base of a peak of bare basaltic rock we found a pleasant resting-place for our Weary limbs. The next day was spent in a vain search for an outlet eastward. The Bcxt morning two of our horses were miss ing so two of tho party followed the horses, find the other two spent the day in hunting ft route. Both parties being successful, the next morning we turned down a ridge west ward three or (bar miles, and then down another northward some three miles to a ranen or the McKenzie. This creek we followed five or six miles eastward, and halted on a small prairie. Here we were again detained a day by rain. Leaving this creek, we went east through an undu lating, timbered country for about eight miles, when we struck a ridge of lava which was utterly impassable. It extend ed north as far as eye could reach, but its southern end was only about a mile to our right. We turned Booth, and soon found ourselves on the creek we had left in the morning. Not far from the south end of Lava ridge thia creek flowed into a beauti ful lake, which we named Lost Lake. Around the margin of the lake there were handsome prairies and an abundance of good grss. The scenery of this neighbor hood is indescribably grand and imposing. The lake discharges its waters through in- j f!ie A Weekly Newnpapcr, devoted to tho Interests of tho Laboring Classes, nnd ndvoenting Vol. V. vis.ble-than..cls among rocks and lava.- through o.i or near our route.

Ihn is a urgo and jvuuuiiii Bucrt ui wiuer. rrom our lust camp on the Snntiam to this point tho pre vailing timber is spruce, hemlock, and sugar pine. We here entered the region of scrub pine. From Large Lake we traveled over tolerably level and grassv country for somo ten miles, when at tho foot of a lurge and frowning lutto we struck ltutto Lake. Following tho outlet of this lake about eight miles, we camo to the cattle trail wmch crosm " valley of 7ta Z Jvenzie, and followed it four miles. We then turued dowu a small creek, and iu five miles cume to a considerable stream a brunch of Des Chutes which came tum bling down from tho Three Sisters. Wc followed up this stream till within three miles of where we first came to the Cattle trail. v i,.i ii.... t . .ii- o had thus far given tho discovery or ii ....... . . gold no attention. Hut now we resolved to seurch for Metk's Canyon, where the precious metal was supposed to bo treas ured up. So we directed our course for a tall peak some twenty miles south by east, which we reaencit m the evening, but find- ngno water, we traveled six miles cost. and bcinir overtaken bv ilnrk cu among tne sage without water. r morning, wo set out to find, not gold, but precious water. We had not gone more than hair a niilc when we came to the California trail, which we followed south some five miles, nnd round the object or our present solicitude abundance or good wa ter. After breakfasting, we turned cast through heavy sand, sage, and juniper, and iu ten miles came to thc Des Chutes. We here concluded to go thc Warm Springs; but after going down tho Des Chutes awhile we fouud ourselves iu a deep canyon bear ing westward. This canyon was dry, but looked as though it might once have been the channel of a river. We were obliged to fuilow it Tor a considerable distance be fore we could get ucross it. By keeping our present course, we arrived at a large ranch of thc Des Chutes flowing from the Three Sisters, up which wo traveled some threo miles and encamped for tho night on its grassy bank, having mado in the day some tlurtv miles, w e were oMijreu to follow the stream up to thc California trail before wc could cross it. Having thus veered from our intended course, wo resolved to strike into the moun tains again. Wo took a general course for Butte Luke, aiming to puss on tho other side of the buttc from the lake, and after descending a long slope westward we en tered n most beautiful valley, nnd crossid a clear, quiet stream some one hundred feet wide and about eighteen or twenty inches km Here wc camped. Some three hun- Ircd yards from camp, we discovered two springs flowing from underneath the moun tain which furnished ull tho water or the pleasant little river flowing at our feet. We christened the place Big Spring al ley. This valley is nbout fifteen miles wide, nd we judged it to be thirty miles long. Wc crossed this valley to the west, and shaped our course for a high stony peak about four miles from Mt. Jefferson. But on account of the rain and , mist we found ourselves at night on Mt. Jefferson. In the morning we turned south again to the stony peak, and that day passed it at a short distance. The next morning, over snow and rocks and break-neck passes, we mounted thc ridge smith of tho peak. Having satisfied our curiosity with this ild aud savage region, we followed a de scending slope ten miles, and found our selves again at Large Lake. In the mean- hilc, in our descent we killed a very fine, fat bear. The next day we returned to Last Lake, where we remained a day for the purpose of enjoying the sport of fishing. We had but two hooks, bnt we soon took some five or six dozen trout, which are in this lake abundant and of excellent quality. Havins thus gratified our curiosity, we set out on our homeward journey by the route by which wc came. We found no gold. Indeed, we lacsea both the experience nnd the implements for prospecting satisfactorily. We will, kind reader, leave the subject' of the Santinm gold mines wrapped in all their ancieut mys- tery- But we did satisfy ourselves of one im portant truth. We found our trip the most healthrul and invigorating to our bod ies.

He possessed moderate intellectual talents, an iron will, untiring energy, and unbounded ambition. He arose at length, through various gradations, to be a Senator or the United States, and, with greedy eyes de vouring the Presidency from afar, ho 1ms shaped every scheme, and strained every nerve to win it. The powers or Douglas os a popular orator are limited to a plain and monotonous repetition or one idea, nnd a bovine power or bellowing it to the largest audience. Ho is destitute alike or variety, compass, humor, pathos, and el oquence. He exhibits not a solitary gleam ot genius, not a rny or wit, not a spark or imagination. The only clement or elo quence he possesses is the vox et ptetcrta nihil of Virgil. How Douui.as rut it to Jephv Black. The Summit Co. Beacon, speuking or the speech of Douglas, at Wooster, says: " Wc said his maimer was coarse. For example, lie reierred to review oi my ar ticle in Harper's Magazine.' 'This re view,' he said, 1 is anonymous, but it is said to have been written by Jerry Black, thc U. S. Attorney Genrral. It is circulated under Jtmj lihck't frank.' After rending a paragraph or two from the review, he said, ' I pronounce this an infamous false hood, and lhe man tchn wrolt it a falsifier, I care not who ho is. No wonder he writes anonymously. He cannot look me in the rye and assert what he imputes tome.

Hullett, a well known Democratic politician or Massa chusetts, in a recent speech, defined what " popular sovereignty" means in the Demo cratic dictionaries.

Mr. nallett beats both Douglas and Black. Ilia definition or the Democratic idea or popular sovereignty is better than either or theirs. 8QT The Icariau property at Xauvoo, Illinois, has recently been sold, the commu nity having proved a failure. It was formed in France in 1848 by M. Cabct. Sixty-nine or the number came to this coun try in that year and settled on the Bed River in Texas. Twenty days after they left France the revolution occurred, which drove others to the number of five hundred to the settlement here.

Boyce, of SoutirCurolina, has been making a speech to thc free and independent electors of Ebeuezer, York District, iu his own State, which is probably the key note or tho universal bellow or the Democracy, in tho next Presidential cam paign. Its substance is tins: " o (ihv slave States) have made great gains since tho organization of the Government. We mean to keep all we have, and, in due time, to get more; but tho prescut time is unfa vorable. Tho North is in a ferment. If we demand tho revival of the Slave Trade, Congressional intervention for slavery, kcr, we will be beaten; and as we can do better in tho Union than out or it, we will for thc present be quiet. But, if tho Black Re publicans go ahead as they are going now, and in defiance of our howls, persist in elect ing their President, in taking possession of the Government, and ii. turning us out of all tho fiit places, we will dissolve the Un ion, nnd set up a Southern Confederacy! As long as wc aro permitted to administer the Government in our own way, subject only to our interpretation of the Constitu tion or the United States, wo are content; bat when thc majority or the people express their will to put the Ship orstate on anoth er tack, by taking the helm out or our hands, we will rebel." That's the pith and marrow of Mr. Boyec's harangue, and such are the polit ical fairness, morality and justice of which South Curolina boasts. 4Qr The London Quarterly for July has in his heart.

Mr. Everett, however, in his last oration on Webster, intimates that Mr. Sewurd is brandishing borrowed thuu- der, and that tho doctrine in question had a much less heretical origin. Mr. Everett says; " He Mr. Webster not only confidently anticipated what thc lapse of seven years since his decease has witnessed and is wit mssing, that the newly acquired and newly organized Territories of tho Union would grow up into free States; but, in common with all lhe statesmen of lhe last gmeralion, he believed that free labor would ultimately prevail th'ouyhout the eoun'ry.
