It is Imposible for. this slate of thinj; to continue loop. II In highly probable Hint bloody and de cisive battles have been fought ore this. Kosckruns' ndvnnco was in sight of Mm freesboro on the Sfllli of December, witli tho enemy In view in line of battle. It wjw expected that a-battles would take place on the IlOlh. Although tho position of the enemy is one of their own choosing, mid is naturally n strong one, everybody eenis to Imvo coundene.e in a favorable icsult. Uo'U'krans 1ms never lost a battle, mid his ability to handle troops on the llield is uni versally conceded. Admiral Fnrragut had attacked Tort Hudson with his gun-boats, and completely demolished capturing sixty cannon. At latest dates lie was twenty miles below Vlcl.'sburg. Porter was above the doomed oily with twenty gunboats and 111 trans port", containing Gen. .Sherman's army. Tho news from the Traufi-Mipsijlppl De partment is vheeriug. General Ilcrron and IMiuit Imvo some mobility about them. Thoy moved their columns forty-two miles in one day. Celerity of movement is but another name for victory. Tho slowly moving mas? may finally crush by force of its vis inertia, but the nctlvu and vigilant commander, by the celerity of ids move ments mid the suddoncss of his attacks, multiplies his ciTectivo force by thousands. This truth not only receives a cheering il lustration in tho Union victories in Arkan sas, hut it blax.es out in the successful rebel raids in Virginia. Under thesu circum stances, tho inspired utterances of Patrick Henry appear in nil their elopienco and truth : " The battle is not to tho strong alone, II is to the active, tho vigilant, the brave." The most Important item in all the news published to-day. is tho reported capture of Kuuxville, Tennessee, by Cof. Garter. If this bo true, it is the most important achievement of the year. It cuts oft' the great artery that feeds the hem t of the re bellion, and carries joy to tho oppressed mid suffering, yet loyal East Tennessee. 0' - Tnfaxk. A. person named F. Newton Wcstfull is now confined in the Jail ut thin place, awaiting the completion of arrange ments to semi him to tho Insane Asylum lit Portland, lie i3 raving constantly and is a dangerous person. Tho cost of his transportation to Portland will be not less than three hundred dollars. If lie lived in Marlon, it might possibly cost the people of thnt county fifty dollars. The additional two hundred and fifty dollars is levied as a sort of pnnUhment on the people of Juck eon county for living so fur uwoy Irom the Asylum. It is just, we presume I It is a little dangerous to live in close proximity to the Asylum, and tho taxes are gauged according to the degree of danger. Hence tho people of Multnomah county, living in much danger, pay nothing. The taxes in crease in the ratio of the increuso of dis tance from the point of danger. Tho pco plo of Jackson, Josephine, Coos, Gurry, Douglas and Tinker counties, arc supposed to bo in a state of absolute security ; hence 'they pay high for tiio transportation of their unfortunates. O, just and equal laws, how great iiro your blessings ! How in 'comprehensibly profound the legislative ge nius that first perceived the benificencc of our Iusnne Law ! A Letter from ' Soger Boy. "Foot Lai-wai, W. T., Dec. 22, C2., ' Ed. ScntiuiL' The " merry, merry bells of Yuic " will Boon ring in tlio happy hol idays How elm 1 1 our people celebrate the occasion ? Where thoughts of Santa' Glaus once filled the home-circle with jollity anil glee, too " pale horse and his rider " has pawed, sweeping, as with tlm besom of battle, Love, Hope and Pence, from the oncecheeiful fireside, and a thousand liv ing pleasures into sorrowful memories. In the family circle, where erst they " wove the holly round the hearth," the scene will bo draped in mourning for tho loved and lost. In homes where of yore happy hearts beat a welcome for the holiday return of the straying, anxious though these hearts' be, none will look hopefully for that com ing. Immigrant may be written over the doors of those dwellings; for, truly, what home hns not sent forth some friend or dear one to the dreadful war. Another murder was committed ut Slate Greek, on the road to Florence, a few days ngo. Arthur Chapman killed Billy Win ters, a notorious rogue, who, last summer, got into n sham quarrel and fight with one of his ilk, and, under pretense of shooting his antagonist, aimed over his shoulder at a man whom lie feared to fight, and shot him in the neck, killing him immediately. Winters this time got cnuglit in his cow mi illy dodge. I To got into n furious quar rel with unother " tuff cuss " in Chapman's ehebiitig, nml when Chapman interfered to slop tho fight, Winters tried to stab him over tho shoulders of his companion in crime; but failing in the first attempt, Chapman then seized n hatchet mid gave him such a blow on the head us to make it decidedly unhealthy for him. lie lived but an hour. Tlioo who have known Winters, nppear to think it fortunate that such a " lull' cuss " was put nway so easily. I am rejoiced to sec thnt Ihero is slill one patriotic precinct in Josephine county. Wnhlo has done nobly and well. J am surprised that, the Hon. gentleman from Josephine, who so lately urged his constituents to arms to prevent invasion? from California, and the Hon. J. B. from Roclc Point, who proffers consolation, in the shape of " oats and hay," to his (era niverous) friend In distress, Malnne, do not form themselves into n Chamber of Com merce, or some other kind of conclave, and proceed at once to investigate and decide upon I lie expediency and constitutionality or allowing the shipment of specie from Oregon for the purpose of relieving the soldier-citizens of other Sluice, without de manding in return n currency better known to themselves than thankfulness or grnli tuile. I wonder if cither of thoso gents take "greenbacks," and which they would prefer, salts or the ''oath." The garrison hero is well nigh completed. In n week more, tho whole command will bo in comfortable quarter. The health ol the garrison is excellent. The weather continues clear and cold nights frosty and day3 sunshiny. It is generally expected that a military post will bo established at or near old Fort Boiso next spring, and the utility of the movement is not ques tioned. Wishing the Srstinkj. a Merry Christ mas and n prosperous New Year, I remain, as ever, yours respectfully. Sookk Bov. . , . Taxing tiik Minks. The Commissioner of the General Land Office, in his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior, re commends that a proper mining pystcm be matured, and that a tax of eight per cent. he levied on the whole yield of tho mines. He estimates the annual yield of tho mines in California at 870.000.000. Tho Bulk tin says that it is not over 850,000.000. The annual product of tho Salmon mines is estimnted at 820.000,000. The JiulleUn says that " Oregon and Washington will furnish no evidence of having yielded 81. 000,000 the lust year." Nevada may send out as much ns 85,000,000 of gold and silver. The yield of the Pike's Peak mines is not estimated. It is very doubtful whether any benefi cial results would be obtained by taxing the mines. It strikes us that (ho costs of collection under the system proposed would cat up the revenue expected to be derived from (ho mines, A better plan would bo to divide the mineral laud off into lots of convenient size, and then sell them. This would give the miner a permanent interest in the soil, and romovo the uncertainties now attending hi title. Soxoua. Tho French Emperor proposes to occupy Sonorn wijh eight thousand troops. He also contemplates sending quite a number or war vessels to the west ern coast of Mexico. This may lead to a complication of American and French af fairs. Thu French Emperor has already rendered himself infamous to loyal Ameri cans by his officious altempls to laduco the Western powers to intervene in American affairs. In view or thesp threatning com plications, the Pacific coast ought to be p'need In a stale of complete dcfctirc Ef fective arms of eveiy description and cali ber, together with a sufficient quantity of the munitions of war, ought speedily to be placed in possession of tho military au thorities. ' Eternal vigilance is the price of libertv." DANOEnofs Pi.aoi:. There are nbnnt one thousand voters in Jackson county. Five persons during I lie past year have been killed in fights and qunrrcls. This is one to every two hundred ; making it al most as dangerous to livu in litis county as to serve us a soldier in the Union army. Tho number wounded hns not been propor tionately iir great ns the number of wound ed to the killed after a hard-fought battle, but still the number is considerable. Sueh a slate of things is to be regretted, and calls for a moro vigorous enforcement of the laws. A subscriber to n moral reform paper en I led ul the post office the other day and inquired if thu "Fiiend of Virtue" had come.
