THE OREGON SENTINEL. From Ilibcriiinn In Democracy's ramxs t unlisted to servo, And carry tlio national ling on to glory , Hut traitor crept in, and with slavery's nerve, Filled the land or My choice with tlio dead and tins gory. To Feducc tlio poor "Irish' to desert lliclr good friend, The ''Union of States,' made iniinorln In story, They suborned our Press, and like Satan, tlio (lend, Quoted Scripture to prove that rebellion wan holy. Mn. Editor i The first burs, of rebel lion found our Irish cittoons rallying nrnund the flog of their adoption, nm) nt Hull Run, Lexington, and I'uir Oaks proving thnt they were worthy grandsons of tho men wlio stormed IJadajnx, sealed the walls of Snlamtincn nnd carried th(heights of Vit torin. If rebellion in Tl was tho hideous monster Hint called forth this flush of pa triotism, is it less so in '(ill, when hundreds of thousand of brnvo men havo lice n crushed under the wheels of its Jugger naut? Why, then, tire such a large por tion or Irish-Americans found in opposi tion to tho Government, and is tho oxis teneo of tho government less denr to them tioie than it was tlitn ? Sir, this change, npnthy, or perjury, by whatever nnmo it may be known, has nlwnys been the stum bling block that ban prevented the Irish people from elevating themselves to the dignity of freemen in their native land, nnd caused O'Conncll to bittery exclaim, " thnt when ho held the repeal of tho Act of Union in the hollow of his hand, his coun trymen dashed tho cup of legislative free dom from their lips by their secret nnd il legal societies of ' Orangemen,' ' Ribbon men,' ' Whilefeet.' nnd ' Ulnckfeet ;' nnd by their faction fights, murders nnd arsons, gave the English aristocracy a fair oppor tunity of saying that they were unfit for self-eovernmcnt." As John Mitchell is found in the slave States ndvoeating re bellion nnd the perpetuity of human slavery ngninst u Government that gave him n ref uge and a home on his escape from the penal colonics of England, so downs of John Mitchells nre doing tho same in the loyal States, whilst Ireland's " bright, par ticular star," the matchless orator, gallant soldiers, nnd pure patriot, Thomas Fran cis Meagher, is left without a brigade through tho copperhead treachery of those iiiniiHiimr il The Oregon llnllroad Project. The party which was organized nnd fit ted out in this city to make a preliminary survey for a railroad route from Murysvllle, California, to Portland. Oregon, has com plcted its work, and lis Engineer S. 0. Elliott, lias returned to write up his notes and prepare his report to be submitted and published. The survey was made under the auspices of an association or Califor niaus and Oregoninns, styled the Califor nia and Oregon Railroad Company which which was formed by a few public-spirited gentlemen acting merely as pioneers of an enterprise that they expected would be given substance and shape by others. Their nim wns to demonstrate the practi cality of the project for continuous rail road connection through northern Califor nia and all of Oregon, nnd to secure na tional aid for nn enterprise whose practical completion is only n question of time. The survey has proved that such n road, about six hundred and fifty miles in length, nnd traversing tho great valleys of the two States, in close proximity to the linos of communication with the extensive min eral fields of the North, can be built for nbont thirty millions of dollars nearly twice the estimated cost of one hundred and fifty miles over the Sierra Xevadu. The next thing is to luy tho mutter before Congress nnd secure that assistance which the great public importance of the project deserves, after which it will not be difficult to attract to it the attention of capitalists. The organization which initiated tho survey was dissolved nt rckn on tho l.ltli inst., nt n meeting of the stockholders called to receive the Engineers report of progress nnd to effect n permanent organi zation. The Oregon friends of the enter prise, who nre the leading men in that State, thought its wcllfnrc could be best promoted by forming two co operative coin- COURAOE IN T1IK AlJSTIIACT. KInglnke, In his Crimean War, says : A bodily ar dor for fighting may be more or less masked or hidden j but he to whom this grent pas sion is wanting, is without the quality of n General. For wnrlnrc is so noxious nnd complex n business, thnt ngainst every vig orous movement heap of reasons can for ever bo found nnd if u man is so cold n lover of battle as to huve no stronger guide than the poor ballunco of the argument!! and counterarguments which he addresses to his troubled spirit, his mind, driven first one way and then another, will oscillate, or In an affecting account of his courting with ' Betsy Jane," Artemus Ward says: " Then were many alTcctin' tics which made me hanker nfter Betsy Jnno. Her lather's farm jined otirn ; their cows and nurn rcpienchcd their thirst nt the Fame spring ; our old marcs both had stars in their forreds; the measles broke out in both families at nearly tho sumo time; our parents (Betsy .Tnnc's nnd mine) slept regularly every Sun day in tho same mrclin'-houso, and the nn bnrs iiFcd to observed 'How thick tho Wards and Penslces nlr.'

Now, it ia a characteristic still marking the Scottish blood, that often and not the less fo when it flows in the breast of a gentle-hearted being It is seen to fire suddenly at tho prospect of u fight. Campbell loved wnrfure with a deep passion; nnd nt the thought of battle; his gruud, rugged. face used to kindle with in. control able joy. " The Urigado of Guards will be destroyed ; ought it not to fall back ?" When air Colin Cumbell heard this say ing, his blood rose fo high that the answer he gave impassioned nnd far-resounding wti9 of a qunllty to govern events. "It is better, sir. that every nun of her Majes ty's Guards should lie dead upon tho field than that they should now turn their bucks upon the enemy." Doubts and questions ceased. The division went forward. When n stamp Is attached ton certificate of marriage, the minister is required to write his initials and the date of the mar ralgc on tho stamp to cancel It.

It would ho a sad misfor tune if, after living together a few months, the young wedded couple should make the discovery that tholr marriage was Illegal, on account of the clergyman's ignorance or neglect.

It has been tho secret hope of Irishmen Tor generations that tho day would come when they could pay back the long debt of oppression, penal luw, and evictions cinenn- ting from tlio " base, nnd brutal" Whig nnd Tory urirtocracy of Great Britain ; and when the day come, and is booming in nil its pnrttntious proportions on us, we find Irishmen wickedly, as cop- peihcaih, frittering the precious moments away as they did with Robert Emmcret, when, instead of following him rnpidly to F-iezc tho castle of Dublin, they stopped in Thomas street to drug from his carriage nnd brutally murder Sir Ivilwnrden, and thus lost tho op portunily of gaining posses sion of tlio Vice Regal stronghold, and brought their leaden to the gallows. Irish Independence is to bo gained by every one of her sous on this North American conti nent falling solidly and squarely into line and carrying tho flag of the Union nnd freedom into such a victory that Republi can Democratic institutions shall endure forever, and this enn be attained by a per fect union of loyal men, for in their strength tho power of Eugland will be hum bled on ocean and land, and when that aris tocratic power is broken (and not till then) Irish Independence will follow. As tho holy church to which so many of us belongs holds open tho doors to her err ing children, so loyal Americans, magnani mous iti their strength and high resolves, holds open to erring and disloyal citizens the road to forgivness, through the doors of the ballot box.

It is a strange, melancholy idiocy. Many citizens nre in capable of articulate speech ; some labor under nil these privations, and aro mis shnpened in almost every part of the body.
