ffiljc rcgou Slrgus. W. L. Adami, Editor. OUOOXT CITY I SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1860. Tin Ntil Heaele. Tho only mKt thnt Die Administration mrl clung to in defeating the wishes of the popular voice wai In controlling the U. S. Semite. Tho result of the electiou of liokir mid Neamitli will probably tlo the rote of the next Senate, even allowing nil the Southern rwiiatori to act ti unit. If Kansis la admitted Into the Uolon, a it probubly will be, we shall hare thirty-four Kin leu, with OH Senators, (landing at ful low r iftecii nouthern htutcs .10 beau- ton. Tlio pro-slavery Northern Senators, will bo IJn'sht of Indiana, Rice of Mimic Hold, Thompson of Xcw Jersey, and Lath am of California umking 34. Tho Re publicans will have 81. California will send either a Republican or Douglas Democrat in pluce of 0 wiu. Douln and Xcsmith will (if California scuds a Douglas Demo crat) raise the Douglas strength to three. Those Senator all huvinjr been elected by the help of Republican votes, will no doubt nit with the Republicans in defeating the disunion schemes of the salamanders.. These, with the Republican strength, will make 3i rotes, and tie the Senate. Tho election of linker and Kesmilh was secured by one rote In our Legislature, aud that member of the Legislature was elected by a majority of two. Let those - two voters In Linn county remember thut they have tied the LT. S Senate. Who will say after this, thut " it isn't necessary for me to go to the election"? B&T There are said to be niuuty thous and offices a t the deposition of the President. There uro generally suid to be ten appli cants for every ollico inuking in tho tig- gregnto an nnny of nine hundred thmis- and " Rcekcrs" about one half of which gcncrully go to Washington to urge their cluiins in person. Just imagine, if you can, mi army of forty or fifty thousand care. worn and aoedy fellows, linnging around tho White House, all striving to get a privuto audience with the President. Thcso fellows are generally looked upon at Wash ington much In tho same light thntbrggnrs arc viewed on the streets of Dublin. Thy mi una sleek winters m the White House, even, look down upon them aud the office- hunters themselves feel rather sneaking after having spent a few weeks at the Cnp- itul. Of course, tho President never mi opportunity to speuk with one in a hun dred of thcso fellows on " privato business. itli a ware of tho hand, he motions the most of them off to the heads of Depart ments. Aino out of ten of them, notwith standing their mighty " services," go home with a flea in tho cur. Kucll; He, The Boston Herald (Douglas) rejoices over the downfull ol the Drcckinrdgo fuction after this wise "The people are giving to the traitors their Just reward. Dialer of Pennsylvania, liright and Filch of JndiiiuiH, Luna and Smith of Oregon, Green of Missouri, and all those Seuutors who have mudo war upon Stephen A. Douglas and the great Democratic party, will be made to bite the dust." Oh, yes, the people aeem determined to hurl from power all such Northern Sena tors as have been gnashing their teeth ag'iinst (lie Union, against Honest Abe, and uguinst Stephen A. Douglas. These fellows must all " bite the dust." Hut then there's tho ' Little Giant himself, and Pugh bis only sheet anchor in the U. S. Semite what about them? Doesn't it look as though the " people" had assigned to them the same horizontal position in the " dust" that Lunc, Digler, and other Democratic Seuutors will soon tuke? I It looks to us as though tho people had determined that while Lane mid Diglerurc down " biting" tho dust, Douglas and Pugh must lie down along side of them and "gum it," if nothing more.

DATE! FROM 8T. 1.0118 TO nr.CKMUKR 4. mty. Tub Wullu Denied. Just on the eve of the Presi dential election, wo received Yancey or gans rrom California, stating, upon what appeared to bo pretty good authority, that Douglas was privy to the iniquitous schemes of tho Lcompton convention that he knew and approved their plans and that a letter was now in possession of a lady written by Judgo Douglas to Cuntllebo.x l ulhoini, not only npproving, but counsel ing nnd advising the very course by the Lccoiiipton party which he afterwards so violently opposed. Wo paid no attention to it, us wo couldn't think it was possible ilwtlt wus true. Tho Yanceyitcs have pursued Judgo Douglas with a hclUi ferocity that has stopped short of no con jectured or fabricated falsehood. Douglas nnd his friends havo been made to taste the sweets of that kind of warfare, which tho wholo Democratic party has hitherto employed against Republicanism. Wo see thut Douglas denies ever having written tho letter charged to his account, nnd we nro glad to know that the responsibility of powder, uml tier eyes almost put out. mo wholo wrong will rest upon the dis unionists who fabricated tho falsehood, und their tools who gnvo circulation to it. Latk Massacre.

H says the Americans in that purt of Ilntish Columbia raised tho Stars and Stripes on the fit Ii of November, fired salute nt morning und evening, nnd held an election for President. We have not tho official returns, but wo leurn thut Douglas had liS mnjurity. Tho British official was somewhat pertnrbed at these proceedings, but as he had no soldiers to buck him, lie remained quiet. Accident. On Sunday morning last, wo leurn, a daughter of Mr. Kldridge, in ! rench Prairie, euino near losing her life while stirring up the firo with a part of n shot-gun burrel.

The owners of tho steamer "Jus. Clinton" nro building n new Dont for tho luuihill trade. This bout will run to McMinvillo during high water, connecting with tho Clinlou at Lnfayettc or Dayton below. There seems to bo no competition ou tho Yamhill trade, und there ought not to be. The men win hnvo had tho monopoly of this trade for years, are exceptions to the almost uuiver ...i .1. .. mil iu.u lam. monopolies create a necessity for competition. The lowest possible figun lor treight and passage is always fixed upon, and charges are niudo to suit the limes while the courtesy and iicconmiodu ling spirit manifested by Cupt. Miller and Albert Appersou, tho Clerk, are full m to the measure of that which is ever forced by competition instead of being a natural result of noble impulses. The Steward on board the Clinton also deserves all praise. The manner in v. hich bo gets up a table nnd does tho polite to his guests is never surpns.-ed, and very seldom equalled. ir The Times correspondent from Walla Walla says the' prospects for the mines in the Xez Perce country is very fluttering.

It makes a very respectable appearance. Dead. Coon's Express ut Roschurghas winked out' at Inst. The Daily News at Portland has also suspended publication. tetf The Tunes of the 21st says rich silver mines have lieen discovered about 15 miles up Young's River, opposite Astoria.

Tho disunion movement has assumed do new nspect. Tho financial panic is about the same no worse. Tho Kansas troubles nre much exagger ated. The outlaws who were reortod to huve invaded Missouri turn out to be U. S. troops encamped, on their march from Fort Leavenworth to Texus. Other telegraph ic statements were equally false or exagger ated. The latest ndvicrs state that Secretary Beebe, of Kansas, hud had an interview with Montgomery who, with 43 nun, was engaged in trying a muu charged with kid napping a free uegro. According to ono account, this man was hanged in Beetle's presence; but according to uiiolhcr account he wus released at his ( Beebe's) request. On being expostulated with, Mongoinery was said to have defied the power cf the tribunal aud federal government. Fort Scott has not been burned, nor Parish sucked, as previous accounts hud them. The reports about Judgo Williams nro probubly greatly exaggerated throughout. It was said that Montgomery's object was to murder tho officers und break up the courts; but thut when he found the courts not in session, ho was satisfied and did not molest them. Ho wus said to huve large, comfortable tents and plenty of pro visions outside of Fort Scott, aud was ready to meet the troops scut uguinst him. Gen. Harney nnd Gov. Mcdury arrived at Fort Leavenworth on the 2(ith of Nov. and were to Icavo this morning, with ono hundred men and two pieces of artillery. Troops had ulso started Iroin Fort R.ley. Two divisions will rendezvous at Mount City, sixteen miles from tho Missouri side. Many prominent Republicans nt Luav. enworth on Saturday night sent resolutions deprecating both tho lawless violence of Montgomery nnd the recent expulsion of tho settlers of tho Cherokee country by the federal government, but declaring that the latter wus no excusu for the former, and giving their cordial co-operation to the N movemeut to put down Montgomery. - Another meeting hud been organized and resolutions passed declaring thut until reli able information wus received, it would bo premature to take any action. Another dispatch received by way of Leavenworth says that Montgomery's only object wus to drive off obnoxious settlers, and that his bund wus largely reinforced by recently expelled settlers from tho In dian lauds. Another dispatch says thut his object wus to prevent the United States land sales. -.' Tho Kansas troubles aro said to givo the President much perplexity. In the South it was calculated that there was still further animosity. The papers wcro filled with rumors about tho Presi dent's Message. All agree that ho will take strong grounds against secession us a mutter of right, or propriety. The rumors about blow-up in the Cub- inet prove to be ull a humbug. SECESSION MOVEMENTS. A secession meetiug irrespective of par ties wus held ut New Orleans on the night of the 2id of Nov.. when a Southern Rights Association was lormed for Louisi ana, designed to promote concert of action among the Southern Mutes, nnd to organ ize minute-men nnd volunteer companies throughout the State. The Legislature of South Carolina met today. A bill was introduced lo raise four hun dred thousand dollars to uid in nrniing tho State. Tenders of uid from other States continu ally pour in. The Governor's Message will bo deliv ered to-morrow. It is said that it will rec ommend tho encouragement of direct trade with Europe, nnd tho establishment of a ine of steamers to Liverpool. In tho event of treason, nftcr tha State shall assert its sovereignty, advices como that tho legislation intended, shall be more rticiilarly to the effect of defining trea son and settling the punishment af the trai tor; perhaps death to any person who shall circulate incendiiiry sentiments, or A who shall arm himself as an Abolitionist and ut tempt to incite slaves to insurrection. There was rumor in Charleston that troops were coming to Fort Meultrie, but this is doubtful. t . i .. . .uic leiurueu passengers arrived yes terday at New York, from Charleston. A dispatch yesterday, from Augusta, Ga., says that A. II. Stevens aud Dr. Pen ding, were unanimously chosen delegates to the convention in Tulliafero, Ga. Stevens made a conservative speech.

Financial matters ore much easier, though most of the Missouri, Tennessee, South Cnroliiin, nnd some other banks had suspended, in order to uffurd rclivf to the community. Disunion was nlurmingly on the iiicrensi). The secession of South Carolina wus con sidered certain. Many Northern Republican journals urge the greatest concessions iu order to allay the storm. The Message, of the Governor of South Carolina treats secession us a fixrd fact, nnd makes his recoinin:!iidations according ly. Ho suggests that Adams' Express should be temporarily substituted for mails until some arrangement can hit made with the I'Vdeial Govcrnim-nt. Hu advised the proposition of the introduction of slaves from lionler Mutes not members oi ne Southern Confederacy, nnd opposed any delay on the part of' South Carolina, let other States como in when they please.' He ticals concession nftcr secession as thing absurd, and says that if the Federal Government should refuse to surrender the harhor defenses, or interfere with imports or exports, Cumlinu must uccept the issue and uccept it like men, nnd freemen. . Secretary Cobb will resign and return lo Georgia to advocate the extreme course. The Governor of Maryland refuses to cnll nu extra session, us the proposed leg- islation is calculated to favor treasonable designs. The Pony Express hud arrived with dates from St. Louis up to Dec. 3d, ut four r. m. South Carolina is determined to secede from the Union, aud will wait Tor no advice from any quarter.

So extraordinary a change, embracing us it does l.ttlu less than ono- half the voting population of tho Stale, has no precedent in political history.
