Ho hud no shears to mount his guns, and clnmco nlouo enabled him to do so by drifting some largo logs down with tho tide against Sumter.

Ahuis: On Saturday, June 29, (he people in tho vicinity of Union School House, Clackamas county, met for the pur pose of raising the Stunt and Stripes, and otherwise manifesting their unalterable de votion to the Union. The flag was raised at 2 o'clock, in the presence of perhaps the largest crowd of men, women, and children that had ever assembled at that place. When tho flag was unfurled to the breeze at the staff's head, tho crowd gave three hearty cheers for the Union, and three vo ciferous hurrahs for Mnj. Anderson and his heroic bund who behaved so gallantly at Sumter. Tho following gcullciucu were thcu culled out, each of whom responded in a short patriotic speech: Dr. P. Welch, E. V. Slinrrock, X. M. Matlock, and W, Cupps. The audience manifested its up provul of what was said by the lively cheering which followed tho remarks of ench sMakcr. Everything went off bar iiionioiisly. The countenance of each indi vidual plainly bespoke the emotions tlmt were struggling within. Two or three se cessionists were present, and no doubt they felt something like an utiregeneritto sinner would with tho saints in the courts of heaven. They were entirely unprepared to enjoy the society of those urouud them. No resolutions were adopted; hut 1 have lofht tho following would have been jrscd: 'Resolved that Fiddling White- aker, Jo Lane, and Geo. L. Curry bo no tified that the people have no further use for their services, aud there fore they arc requested to leave the Statu within twenty days, or suffer as hundreds of loyal Amer ican citizens in the South have suffered for expressing sentiments of love for their own government.'

Thk Last Words of Docolas. For loner time previous to his death, Senator Douglas had been in a half-nnconscions condition. During tho morning of his death his mind and energies rallied some what. As his devoted and loving wife sat at his bedside, soothing and casing him with those tender words and actions which only a woman can employ, she asked the dying statesman if he had any messages to Stenhen arid Robert. He o l. Ilia w " -j -f --j seemed ot first not to hear the question, and Bhe repeated it. Rallying his strength, his eye kindled tip, and his wholo frame seemed to dilate, os he onswercd: " T tt! Tell them to oley the Lawt and tupport the Constitution of the United Stales!" TneonoRK Fiikmnciiuvsen on the War. -Tins venerable gentleman delivered a speech at a flag raising nt New Brunswick, New Jersey, lately. Alluding lo the des picable courso which had been pursued by tho rcbtls from tho commencement of these political convulsions, he said: "They have plundered our public prop erty, murdered innocent citizens, and now arc' endeavoring to cpil a serpent among the stars and stripes, whoso fangs shall striko out tho emblems of seven States from its glorious folds. If a foreign foe had attempted this, tha nation would have risen up as ono niuu to uuri uown nic uj grcssor, and how much worse was it when the foe came trout within our own bosom! In fact n more monstrous crimo against humm rights had never been per- ictratcd, in tho words ot a u sunguisneu clergyman, since tho crucifixion or our Lord and Savior. Ann, in view oi uu this, what do they ask? They cry put, Let ns nlone. Do let us alone I' Jefferson Davis is not the first transgressor that has wanted to bo left alone! (Laughter.)

This is nothing more than to bo expected. During the Mexican war the typographical contribu tion to tho different regiments was largely in the preponderance, and printers were omong the foremost in every fight, and among tho hist to be distinguished. When the lust campaign was over, the last battle fmiwht and won. thev returned to their o - respective homes, doffed their faded regi mentals, resumed tho composing stick and rule, and were contented w the recollection of tho stirring scenes they had witnessed the proud columns of that host of gentle men, ns they wcro boastfully denominated, and lb! Prince Rupert and his host were no longer there. They wcro scattered os the dried leaves of autumn oro beforo the storm blast of tho coining winter. Thot nnsnl twang rang out on thut day their well known was. cry, 'The sword of the Lord mid of Gideon.' These Yankees nro a peculiar people; they arc on industrious thriving, pams-tak-ing nice of men. Tlio fruillies of these men grow out of their virtues those stern virtues winch founded liberty in England, and baptized it in their own blood upon Ttimker Hill Iu Ameri -a. They will do so iigitin if there is a necessity for it. It is n hard matter to deal with men who do verily believe that God Almighty ond his angels encamp round about them. What ilo thev caro lor Kinjrs. and Lords, and Presidents? What do they care for earth ly things ami earthly power? They fully belicvo they are heirs of the King of Kings. In the hour of battle they swear to them selves to stand, like the great Hebrew lead er, iu tho eh ft or tho rock; tho glory of the Most High God passes by them, and they catch a glcnm of its brightness. If you come in conflict with the purposes of such men, they will regard duty ns everything, lire us nothing. So it appeared in our war of the Revolution." A Heroine in Knoxvili.e, Tennessee Parson 15howni.ow's Dai cuter. A gentleman just arrived in Chicago from Knoxville, Tennessee, brings intelligence or uffairs in thnt city. He informs the Juuriml that 25.000 secession troops nre etniinni.it tlmm fnr the exurcss purpose or overawing the Union men. It is a part ol their business to engngo in quarrels in sa loons, and in street fight, with all who ure not friendly to secession.
