THE STATE REPUBLICAN.
EUGENE CUT, SATURDAY, HAS. 1, 1862.
"The Strangle of to-day ia not altogether for
to-day. it U for the vast future also."
VOi FOP I'M.
It is a time honored and often a strictly true
anting thM" tho voice of the people is the voice
of God." n times gone by this principle seems
to have been better understood than now. "The
ancients were disposed to attribute to Deity the
cause of every great occurrence which was called
out either by the urgent appeals or direct de
mands of the populace. There is yet, however,
a principle extant, and tho prospects are that it
is brightening, which will direct men's minds in
to tho correct channels of thought ar-d develope
improvements of incalculable value from present
calamities. Much as has been said against the
popular cry of "onward to Richmond," and fatal
as wero tho results of the premature engagement
of our forces w ith the rebels, in oonsequenco of
tho impatience of tho multitude which raised that
cry, at a time when our army was yet unripe,
we are inclined to believe that there will be 'but
little need fur the same kind of criticism' upon
the "forward movement" which is now echoed
from tongue to tongue throughout the North,
with double the emphasis that was given tho " on
ward to Richmond." We are not prepared to
altogether disclaim against publio fervor as a
guide to the successful prosecution of war. In
fact wc are inclined to the opinion that it would
bo well for our Generals and those who aro at
the helm of Government to watch closely for the
vein of sentiment most common amongst the
masses, and temper the army movements with
speciul reference to it. That they have done so
in a great degree we are fully aware, and that
they will continue to do so we have every reason
to conclude, from the antecedents of our truly
and systematically time-serving General-in-Chief,
and of our inflexible and vigilent publio servant,
who prides himself more in being tho people's ser
vant than in being called their President. The
echo of" onward to Richmond " which reverber
ated in thunder tones from 'the masked bnttcrles
of Dull Run has died away, and our defeat and
iivlorious retreat from Manassas Junction has
a more than parallel disgrace to tho rebels in
their rout at Port Royal. And now the forward
movement him mi echo which rings the tocsin of
alarm in all tho cities of tho South, and tells
with a mighty eloquence to our deluded country
men that the doom of their mad project is scaled,
for tho peoplo have spoken and they have but
uttered forth the voice of God. That same voice
will they utter again when tho country is purged
of rebellion ; when we can say, with the bard of
Avon,
There is not now A rebel sword unsheathed,
bat pence puts forth the olive everywhere,
and proclaim to tho world that,
If wc enn tmike our ence
Upon Biii'h lurge terms and no sbsolute.
At our conditions uliull connint upon.
Our peace utmll stand as Hrm as rocky mountains.
And the conditions of that peace cannot be less
than tho enforcement of the United States laws
throughout the United States limits ; and those
limits may bo larytr but never less than now,
or, as some facetiously would have it, than
they wero before the rebellion.
The success of our arms in Missouri, in Virgin
ia, on the coast, and more recently in Kentucky,
has fanned tho flame of patriotic fervor to a per.
. feet enthusiasm among the masses of Unionists,
more than equal to that which animated the reb
els in the outset of the war. There is, however,
a great difference in quality of the enthusiasm of
Syr (Furc ijgfv
our troops and that which emboldened tho rebels
to undertako this mad attempt of destroying our
Government.
" That of the first is the true glow of genuine
patriotism, the joy of a sense of doing right at
tho peril of life, and of seeing the happy effects
of such a riuhteous cause crowned with success.
While that of tho rebels was a shortlived heated
exci'entent, gotten up by continued falsification
of the motives of the North, and by continued ap
peals to the lowest passions of the dupes of the
rebel leaders, but mainly by a constant repeti
tion !h their cars of the gross falsehood that the
North were ready to make war upon them on
account of their favorite institution of human
slavery.
This has been a favorite hobby for them and
for their sympathizers among us. But every
honest man w ho has taken the trouble to look
Into tho matter must admit that anti-slavery
sentiment was not tho cause of the war. The
real primary cnisc of the war was the corruption
of a bigoted and mercenary set of demagogues
whose motto was rule or ruin. When they
tould no longer control the ballot boa, cither by
ambers or by ehicanery, they were ready . for
lb last re ft of thaive 1 1 take it by fhree.
It ecms that they are slow to see their folly,
but we apprehend that they are beginning to
pretty distinctly feel it ere this time. Their
muhshness in holding out in their mad career
thus long would be inexplicable but for the fact
that pride ia a greater ingredient of the Southern
character than wisdom.
Wb have been jeered because in our prospect
us we stated that our Editorial department would
have access to some of the best " logical and
critical talent in the State." Now, we have heard
it suggested that those who live in glass houses
should be careful how they throw hard substan-
ces abroad. In the establishment of this paper
we have had two currents to pull against. The
one, caused by disur.ionists, we expected ; but
the other, and by fur the worst, we did not expect
from Union men ; men who were either jealous
of us, or had no confidence in onr ability to con
duct a public journal. Wo hope that those
who should bo our friends and brothers in our
common cause, will not continue to embarrass
uaJty lUnowing chunks in our way.
Band-box Benny is still out in the cold. We
cannot see why Senators Latham and Nesmith
should so fur countenance such a perversion of all
justice and sincerity as to assist our Cayuse Gov
ernor in getting his tool into the Senate to rep
resent the party which the " Start" and the Al
bany Democrat has been giving aid and comfort
to.

Jolly Times i Camp. A friend here received
a letter last mail from a brother in the army in
Virginia. He says, " we have merry times in
camp two fiddles, and any number of fiddlers.
Every evening some will be fiddling, some pray
ing, and some writing letters home." All are in
good cheer and confident of tho success of our
arms.

Tub Rush to tub Mines. We are pleased to
see a laudable degree of enterprise manifested by
our populace, but we greatly fear that in the
matter of mining enterprise the thing will be a
little " over did " this Spring. Many men who
are well situated to do a handsome business at
home nra making hasto to go to Salmon, without
securing tenants for their farms, and some with
out even leaving their ground seeded. This, we
think, is a great error, both in a general and in a
particular point of view. It will be the worse for
the country, which will be scarco of provisions
and feed next winter at best, and it will be the
worse for the individual who could realize a hand
some profit from his crop. It is not safe to cal
culate that more than one man out of every three
or four who goes to the mines will make it pay
well, say even a well as they might do at home
on their farms. Now it would be far better for
tho men who wilt ramble around over the mining
region, prospecting, and probably making about
expenses some not doing so well were they
at their homes, making plenty of bread and meat
for themselves and tor sale to those who do make
it pay. We would not discourage those wh aro
prepared to go and leave things in a proper con
dition at home from going, for we believe the
prospects are good, but we would urge all who
have farms to see to it that their land is planted
before they go.

Dispatches from Fort Donelson, have been
received. The Fort was invested by the Feder
als. Heavy cannonading and skirmishing were
coins on all day. It is estimated that there are
within the breastworks 15,000 rebels. The fort
will be stormed in two days, if not surrendered
befre then. Generals Johnson, Floyd, Pillow
and Buckner are all said to be there. But one
gunboat had arrived up to noon of the 13ih.
Others were expected hourly, '
The rebels gave battle from their entrench
ments outside of tho fort, but were driven in of
ter a severe fight, with considerable loss on both
sides. Our troops hold two of the rebel ba'te-

The attack on Fort Donelson was resumed on
Friday, 14th, at daybreak, with the following
results : All the rebel water buttery guns except
six were dismantled or silenced by the gunboats.
The boats then retired all more or less damaged.
The right wing of tho enemy's . fortification was
stormed and carried at noon on Friday.
The four iron-clad gunboats went within 800
yards ot the fort, and dismounted and silenced
all of the rebel water battery guns, except six.
The gunboat Louisville dismounted the rebel
123-pounder at the first fire. , Sht&afterwards
received two shots, passing through the entire
length. She is the only boat that is seriously
damaged.
Inconsequence of the height of the bluff on
which the rebel fortifications are built, shot can
not have as much effect on them as at Fort Hen
ry. It will, therefore, require much longer time
to reduce it. The rebels have raised a black
Aug, which can be seen plainly from the river.
The right wing of the Federal forces commenced
storming tho fort about noon on Saturday, .ii.d
have taken the right wing of the cnomy's fortifi
cations, over which the Stars and Stripes float.

Gen. Grant, commanding, telegraphed that he
would be able to capture the fort to-day (Sun
day.)
A special dispatch to tho St. Louis Democrat,
dated Cairo, Sunday, 4 p. m., says : Commodore
Footo reached here at 12 o'clock last night, on
tho iiin boat Carondelct. Ho reached Fort Don
elson on Friday afternoon, with tho gunboats
St. Louis, Louisville, Pittsburg, Curondelet, Ty.
ler and Lonestoga. . Alter lighting a little over
an hour, he withdrew. 54 men were killed and
wounded on the boats, i'he St. Lotus was hit
01 times ; the Louisville 57 times. The enemy's
nrmg was very accurate.
The rebels hud three batteries ; one near the
fnter, one 50 feet above this, and the third 50
feet nbove the second. The upper ono mounted
four 18-pounders. This ono was held until the
boats got within 400 yards of the fort. Our fi
was diree'ed principally at the water batteries.
One of the enemy's cuns burst and numbers ot
others were dismounted. Tho enemy could be
seen carrying their dead trom the trenchos.
A steamer from Evansville, Ind., reports that
rour ot our Colonels were killed ; among them
is Col. Logan.
The Illinois correspondent of the Democrat,
writing on iriday, says : Ihe more I saw at the
fort, the more I am convinced that it cannot be
reduced wilhoLt a terrible battle Its rear serins
almost impregnable. The outer works and bas
tions of the tort are located on ridges 150 and
iloO feet high, covered with dense timber. On
similar gorges and hills outside of these, our ar
my is drawn up in lino of battle, completely en
closing tho enemy, from Cumberland, south of
the fort, to tho back water of tho stream which
flanks tho fort on the north.
Gen. Oglesby, who has tho extreme right, last
night pushed forward his brigade to the Cumber
land, where ho has planted a battery commanding
the river, which will effectually prevent the arri
val of any more re-inforcements ; in fact, we
have them completely surrounded, and cau com
plete the job at our leisure.
Considerable skirmishing occurred during
Thursday night, both forces endeavoring in the
darkness to crowd in upon each other.
On Friday morning it was discovered that the
enemy had placed logs on the top of their breast
works, leaving a little space lor them to shoot
through, much diminishing their risks from our
sharp shooters.
The causalities among our trtilery thus fir
are very small. The lost of the enemy so tar aa
rtftn be ascertained is considerable.
Cairo, Feb. 16th. The steamer Minrtehaha
has arrived from Fort Donelson. She left there
t 5 o'clock last evening. The upper fort was
taken at 4 o clock in the afternoon, ihe gun
boats St. Louis, Louisville and Presbury, were
