It will be tetn by tha following communicitlon that t wer correct ia our opinion tint Ilia u soliloquy" we pub lished some lima ago was not M founded on fuel" at least ao far at tbe writer was concerned, Ths Lusband of our fair cor respondent, we are pleased lo learn, not only has a "door scraper" in its proper place, a " prg" put up lo hang Lis hat on, makes no allusions lo "rosy-checked girls," but provlJes wood and water, and endeav ors to make all such provisions for his wifu's comfort aa good and faithful bus bands are in duty bound to make : For Ikt Argut. Ma. Editor I wish lo correct an im pression you seem to have received from that " Soliloquy" in regard to my husband. Why, air, 1 venture to say that there is not another man in tho Territory who will do as much for his wife's comfort as my hus band will for his. I wouldn't "swap" him for any oher man I ever saw. liut if he were to go away and leave me with out any wood, or spend two or three eve nings in the week at Mr. W's playing cards with the girls, or take advantage of my absence to gallant them about ; or tell me he was going away on " biisiuess" for several days, and I should find out that he went to the ball and daaced all night, then spent a day er two horse racing ; if he were to do these things, why, I should just bear it, I suppose, as some others do. Why, Mr. Editor, I havo knon a wo man and her daughter to lake care of sick folks, cook for several men, and do a day's washing, all in one day, when there was not only no wood cut, but none lo cut, and they had to gather bark er anything that would serve for fuel and ttiry have plenty of means. I ibave known many similar cnaes. I verrly believe if the men would do their duly the women would try very hard to do theirs. Sylvia. Marina Cavmly, Orefow. NtwuoM's Mill, Marion Co., August 10, 1657. Editor of Tiik Arucs I would again call the attention of emigrants and others to Ideations and employments in some parts of Marion county, Oregon. The want of steady laborers and mechanics in this county is a great drawback to the various branches of husiies here. In point of arable land and timber, this county is ntnnbfr one in Oregon. But the timber is not evenly distributed over the county. Tho main portion of I lie test limber in i liia county ia situnied on Dig Pudding river and its tributaries, upon which are some twelve flouting mills and waier mills, including two saw mills now being erected on Abicaw. . Upon Big Pudding riverand its tributaries are some of the best prai ries and other openings fur funning in this county. Lauds can be bought or rented in any or all of these seitlements ou very fair terms. In consequence of the lack of laborers, improvements in farming and building are greatly retarded, and most landholders hero prefer selling a part of their lands or leasing them out lo now comers. One thousand steady, temperate laborers, in addition to tlioso here, can find constant employment and good woges in this county. Sawyers and log-choppers, teamsters and families to keep boarders, can find steady work lo the number of one hundred men or more, at the mills in this county. Carpenters and millwrights are greatly needed. A patent shingle machine ia in operation at the saw mill of tbe wri ter, where several hands are needed. Wagon makers and blacksmiths are also eery much needed in this county. There are iron mines also which require many laborers to work them, in Marion county. Stone coal also abounds. The Woollen Factory Company at Salem will require quite a number of operators of various sorts. Provisions and crams are abund ant and cheap at present in this county. Health has ever been excellent in Old Marion, except upon Lake Labish and one or two other places. If men of families want hornet, where socieiy, education, and morals are in the ascendant, they would do well lo locate in this county, and in Linn, Benton, Yamhill, Polk, Clackamas, Mult nomah, and Washington counties. ' ' So thinly settled is the Willamette Valley, in consequence of tbe operation of the dona tion law, that it ia extremely hard to keep up schools. Ilowever, tha people of this great valley are wide awake to tbe sub ject of education ; and we need numerous families, with plenty of children, and scores of competent male and female school teach ers, to locate amongst us. About one half of Marion county is ad mirably adapted lo stock raising, being rolling, undulating, gravy lands, well wa tered, and could be fenced with plank, as rail timber ia very scarce. Howell Prairie, Salem Prairie, and French Prairie are I lie garden spots of Oregon, for farming and gardening. And ibey are also admirably adapted lo fruit growing, as may be seen in visiting such orchards as Messrs. Shan nons', Stanton's, Eyre's, Johnson's, and others. And the low price that lands can be bought for ia theae prairies, would ap pear astonishing, when we take into eon- hideraiioa ihoir soil, lirabex, health, near ness to naviffatipOj mills, Ae- This county ia capable of sustaining forty times its present number of inhabitants, liut, for this time, I will close my remarks. David Niwiom. For tit Argui. Mkltcbts rraaa a Traveler's Diary. Contemplating a trip up into ihe Cas cade Range for the benefit of health, as well by relaxation from business as from inhaling the pure bracing mountain air, we completed our preparations and sallied forth, armed and equipped as the law di recta, on a pleasant day of last month, and pursued our course mountaiaward. Our party, consisting of fire, was pleasantly ss lecied, combining with the vivacity of youthful spirits, the sedatoness and gravi ty of mature manhood ; and we started with high anticipations of the pleasure to be derived from our excursion, slaving provided ourselves with hunting and fish ing apparatus, we designed spending a fow days at aoma favorable location, where our horses might have the bene&t of good pas turage, and we would amuse ourselves ia pursuing the feathered flock through iheir leafy coverls when incliaing to more quiet amusement, should seek to ensnare the finny tribe and when we desired more peaceful and bloodless pursuits, we aheuld havo the works of nature in their grandeur and majesty spread out before us, and, gazing upon the snowy peak which bathes its forehead in the clouds of heaven, or, listening to tbe murmurs of falling waters and the russleof the breece playing among the tree '.ops, we should lose the remem brance of man's injustice and inhumanity lo his fellow man, and would think of him as having been created after the image of his Maker, eadowud with noblo attributes, and a soul to live forever. As my preconceived ideas diHered some what from my actual experience, I will go on and endeavor to sketch briefly our ad ventures. Leaving tire city in the after noon, we rode out, halting occasionally to replace our frying pan, camp kettle, or some other article pertaining to tho culi nary department (and really they seemed to drop o(T with remarkable facility), though we exerted all our skill in attempt- lug to render them more permanent in the positions we had assigned them. Having ridden some twelve miles without incident worth more particular mention, we formed our first camp, end, having turned our horses out to graze, kindled our (ire, and and began to exjioricnce all the discomforts o an out-door life, although we were yet within the limits of civilization. Ilowever, as we had started with the determination to be plcaud in despite of untoward cir cumstances, of course the unanimous dec laration of our parly was to that effect, and no complaints were heard of smoky tea or coffee, scorched ham, or of the general dustiness pervading eatables and drinka bles, such petty trial being considered as beneath the notice of philosophic minds, and necessarily incidental to a pursuit of knowledge under such difficulties. Tues day morning we decided to change our route, at the suggestion of the gentleman on whose claim we encamped, and who pro posed to accompany ua in our expedition. Among other curiosities described by hira, a cascade where the waters of a mountain stream plunge from an abrupt cliff one hun dred feet in bight, and a mountain lake, the waters of which are aurcharged with salt, and whose banka are covered with ihe saline particles deposited by evaporation, offer inducements which, if realized would amply repay us for our pains. Leaving Camp Civilization, we rode on perhaps ten miles to the outskirts of the mountain, wheie we took our nooning under the shade of a grove of evergreen. Owing to the smoky state of the atmosphere, we did not enjoy the scenery as we might oth erwise have done the views being so ex tremely local in Iheir character as to be comparatively uninteresting to a stranger. In tbe formation of their improvements, I think Oregon ians have net paid ao much regard to tastefulneas either in ' building bouses or in laying out grounds as eould have been desired in a new country. Pur suing our way along an Indian trail a short distsnce, we diverged to the right, at the suggestion of our guide, seeking a more plainly defined path ; but we soon found ourselves involved in a maze of difficulties. Clambering over log, floundering through the undergrowth and fern, we coincided emphatically with a remark dropped by one of the party, that it was a " hard road to travel." However, after three or four hours severe exertion, having headed for all points of the compass, describing a complete circle, we reached our first trail, nearly exhausted, ' and taking tho back track a little way we formed our second camp at Fern Brook. Formed feather- beds fiora the fern which grew luxuriantly about us, and composed ourselves to sleep, thoagh tbe wind whistled round our beads after rather too strong a fashion. We sur vived, however, and rcee not much tbe worse for wear, prepared lo push our way onward and upward, hoping another night would find ua reoliniog on the banks of Salt Lake, and, although we do not antic! pate becoming Mormons, we expect to an joy ourselves rather agreeably with the denizens of that famous locality. How we succeeded, I shall perhaps make known in the future. Not a Mountainexr. Polict or Tin Frik-Statr Mr.it or Kansas. The Free-State men of Kansas have chalked out a bold, straightforward programme and are inflexibly resolved to follow it out to Ihe letter. In the first place, they will pay no taxes lo the usur pers, nor recognize the validity of any of their acts. In tbe next place, a ceniua will be im mediately taken of all the inbabitanla and rotors in the Territory. Thirdly : An election will bo held on ihe first Monday in August, under this census, for Governor, Stale officers and Legislature, as provided for by the Topeka Constitution. Fourthly; Free-State men will attend the polls this Fall, at the Territorial flect ion, and secure both tbe Legislature and tho Delegate to Congress; which Legis lature, when it assembles, will immediate ly repeal, repudiate, wipe out and oblite rate every vestige of the acta and appoint ments of the bogus Legislature, from the day of the first invasion down to that time, and commence anew. Fifthly: Said Legislature will submil te a vote of the people the Topeka Con. stilution, which of course, will be ratified by an overwhelming majority. This docu ment will then be forwarded to Congress, and admission asked into the Union. Sixthly : If the Constitution about be ing framed by tbe Border Ruffians be sub ositted to the people, it will be quietly vot ed down ; but if none be allowed to vote upon it but just those who have been reg istered, tbe Free-State mea will refuse to vote, just as they have done at the recent election. Then the two Constitutions will come before Congress one of them the work of Tro.Slavery fillibustera, the other embodying the will of the vast majority of the bona JiJe settlers of Kansas. A nd fur thermore, ihe latter will have the stamp of 11 regularity" upon it, because of its hav ing been submitted to the people for ratifi cation, by a Legislature created by virtue of the organio act Douglas s own bill. There can be no rejecting it on the ground of irregularity. Chicago Tribune. The Grkytown Homda r dm rut. The movement in the British House of Com mons, (June 19th,) looking to the indemni fication of British aubjects for property destroyed in tbe bombardment of Grey- town by the United States aloop-of-war Cyane, aome three years since it is pre sumed was intended by' Mr. Roebuck, and other gentlemen on (he Opposition benches, rather aa a demonstration against the Palmerston Ministry than against the Un 'ed Slates, though the United States, during the discussion, was honored with allusions anything but complimentary. " Outrages upon British citizens abroad" is a party cry in England that ia raised sometimes for party purposes there, just as "Outrages upon American citizens" is sometimes used here lo get up steam on (he eve of an election. The Premier, however, secma lo have understood the tactics of tbe enemy, or he nevei could have shifted responsibility so cleverly from his own boulders to these of tbe law officers of tbe Crown, " who," he said " had decided that the inbabitanla of Greytown had no claim to compensation." At the same time, it hardly becomes my Lord Palmerston to be so severe on the American Government for its "violence and cruelty" in the Greytown business. The bombardment of that miserable aggrega tion of hutf, by an American man-of-war, waa certainly not a very magnificent ex ploityet, ao far aa " violence" and "cru elty' are concerned, the nation that has been H fillibusterine" ainoncr tha Chinese, the Persians, and the barbarians on the coast of tbe Red Sea killing here, bombarding there, and exhibiting " violence" (almost) everywhere ought not, for shame aake, have much to say. Our Greytown ex ploit, granting that it waa as dirty a busi ness as represented was a mere mole hill ef cruelty" and " violence' compared with what Brother John has bee a doing, mountainously, in that way, ever aince. JV. F. Expren. A Church MatTA.iT." The Bap list church at Lansingburg, N. Y, ia di vided into two cliques, each of which claims possession of tho edifice ; and one of the parties laving gained possession and stationed a watch, the Oliver made aa attack not long ainoe, in which dangerous weapons were need ea both sides, and sev eral parsons badly injured. Tho affair ia now nndergeinga legal examination. , 03" Tbe population of Minnesota is be lieved lo come fully opto 300,000. ' S3T Marryatt must Lave had a real izing sense" of the toils of newspaper labor when be wrote that 14 newspaper literature is a link in the chain of roirnclea which proves tbe greatness of England, and ev ery support should be given to newspapers. The editors of these papers must Lave a most enormous task. It ia not the writing ef the leading article itself, but the obli gallon to write that article every day, whether inclined or not, in sickness or in health, in affliction, disease of miud, winter and aummer, year after year, tied down to the task, remaining in one spot. It is something like the walking of a thousand miles in a thousand hours. I have a fel low feeling, for I know how a periodical will wear down one's existence. In itelf, il appears nothing : the labor is not moni- feat ; nor is it the labor: it is the contin ual attention which il requires. Your life becomes, aa it were, the publication. One day'a paper ia no sooner printed and cor. reeled, than on comes another. It ia the stone of Sysiphus, an endless repetition of toil, a censtaat woight upon the mind, a continual wearing upon (he intellect and spirits, demanding all the exertion of your faculties, at the ssme time that yoo are compelled to do the severest drudgery. Te write for a paper is very well, but to edit one is lo condemn yourself to slavery." Border ItcrruMisx grown Tolkrant. A Kansas correspondent of the Boston Journal, writing from Quindaro, July Oth, relates the following : " An incident occurred on Saturday which illustrates the recent revolution oi l public sentiment among our neighbors serosa the river those amiable neighbors who were at one time ao self-sacrificing as to come over and form our institutions for us, utterly regardless of (rouble or ex pense, a year ago, uov. iiobinsoo s life would hardly have been safe for an hour on the Missouri side of the river, much less in the interior. But on Satur day he attended a railroad meeting al Plattaburg, the county aeat of Clinton county, Mo., and upward of thirty milos back from the river. He waa not only treated with entire courtesy, hut was called out by the unanimous voioeof the meeting to address the people. He responded in his usual style, in a plain, but convincing, common senio speech, which trar hudly applauded. Think of our Free Slate Gov. ernor addressing a crowd of Border Kuf flans in their own State, at their owu ro qusst, and on the Fourth of July at that I " Laying of tub Corner-Stone of the Clat Monument. This interesting cer. emony was performed in the Lexington (Ky.) Cemetery on the Fourth of July, in the presence of a large throng of the old friends, neighbors and admirers of the Great Commoner. The cornor-atone was laid by Theodore N. Wise, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge ef Masons of Keu tucky, with the grand honors and coremo. nies of tho Order. The address on ihe oc casion was delivered by Rev. It. J. Breck inridge. There were many distinguished persons present. A few aged men were there also who had known the sage as the young Harry of Ashland, who heard him in person denounce the interference of the government in personal liberty and that of ihe press as early as the alien and sedition laws ; aome had heard his bold advocacy of the war of 1812, of internal improve ment, and of the American system his commencement and close of life as a states man. The orator presented a calm, warm hearted, common. senso view of the per sonal character,' public services, and distinguished characteristics of tbe Man, the American, and the Ktnluclian, whom the auditory all so well knew, Military companies were in attendance from Balti more, Si. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, In diana, and elsewhere. The monument is te be 100 feet high, surmounted by a statue of Mr. Clay 1 1 feel in high!. Emigration from New England to the West. It ia calculated that about three hundred thousand persons will emi grate during tbe season from New Eng land to the Western Slates and Territories. The vslue of the property they will carry with them may be estimated at twenty millions of dollars j but if we take the ac tual value of the neuters to the new States where they are going, il will be at least thirty millions more, making fifty or aixty millions of real living values about depart ing from New England lo enrich the great empire west of the Alleghanies. With such a prospect before them, it ia no won der that all the railway stocks in New England ate quoted at a low range of prices and that the Boston journala Complain of hard limes and dull trade.
