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.

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.

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.

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
