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.

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

Jvenzie, and followed it four miles. We
then turued dowu a small creek, and iu five
miles cume to a considerable stream a

followed up this stream till within three
miles of where we first came to the Cattle
trail.

to seurch for Metk's Canyon, where the

tall peak some twenty miles south by east,

and bcinir overtaken bv ilnrk

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

aT A writer in the Cincinnati Com

picture of Mr. Douglas:
" Douglas belongs, by temperament and

riso was rapid, for his powers were just of
the compass which fitted linn to shine, where
n man of finer nature would have foiled.
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. He
knows that I made, last Full, one hundred
and thirty speeches, in every one ot which
I vindicated thc Dred Scott decision nnd
the Supreme Court. He danen't quote a
single paragraph from my article in Ilar
ppr's Magazine, but prostitutes a high ynv
ernmental office lo propagate falsehood. I
write over my own signature. I don't as
sail any man anonymously. I pronounce
the author or thut pamphlet a calumnia
tor,' " &c., &c.
A Goon Defi.vitio.v. B. F. Hullett, a
well known Democratic politician or Massa
chusetts, in a recent speech, defined what
" popular sovereignty" means in the Demo
cratic dictionaries. He said:
" This whole question or popular sover
eignty is the merest abstract or an abstrac
tion nothing that is practical ; a question
on which one man says, ' popular sover
eignty,' and then means tchat he has a mind
lo, auother cries out ' popular sovereignty,'
and means whatever he pleases by it ; aud
nobody defines exactly his position."
Mr. nallett beats both Douglas and
Black. Ilia definition or the Democratic
idea or popular sovereignty is better than
either or theirs.

A HoulU U.uroHna Hueci-h.
Hon. W. W. 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.

The declaration laid down by Mr. Sew
ard iu his llocbester speech, that there is
such an " irrepressible couflict" between the
institutions of slavery and free lubor that
oue or the other must ultimately prevail
throughout tho Union, has been deiiouuced
by Douglas and others as a bloody and trea
sonable heresy. 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. He thought
he saw that, in the operation of tho same
causes, which have produced this result In
the Middle and Eastern States, it was visi
bly taking place in the States north of the
cotton growing region; and he inclined to
tho opinion thut there, also, under tho in
fluence or physieul and economical causes,
free labor would ultimately be found most
productive, and would therefore bo ulti
mately established.''

little beaming, " How aro ycr?" Waiters

fled temper," the lady replied; and as she
passed on he excluimed to his companions,
"Isn't she a beauty I"
" Call Afra beauty?" said ono of them;
" why, she's moro than forty, nnd got
wrinkles!"
" I don't caro for that," retorted the
