TIic paper nri) full of tlio enormous expenditures of this Administration, which lino niudo out to swamp nearly a hundred million of mo ney iu a year. Mr. Sherman of Ohio tuted in a sjieeth in CongTiHJi that no lens thun COO extra clerks arc employed in tlic ciw toin houses in onh r to reward party whip-pers-in. jituhumin is ronstuiitly besieged by a swurui of imiiry fellows whiwe be seeching aud iinportunities for a pull at the pnMic pup nro truly irresistible. The poor old nmn feels under such ubligutions to these loafers for dirty work dmio in the Presiden tial canvass of lHfjfl, that he is constantly on the look-out for some nice comer that he can stow these Union-savers into that will pan out some two or three thousand dollars a year oath. J. Ross Browno receives some !x thou sand dollars and upward for coming out hero os a "spy"' to watch the locofoeo ras cals iu Oregon, and now the Department ot Washington has sent out C. II. Mott of Mississippi to report on the Ind'nu Depart ment, lie will probably draw some six or seven thousand more for his services. This policy of appointing men to olliee for ser vices done to the dirt-eating party, without regard to honesty or acquired ubilily, and then sending party wire-workers and Union-savers to overhaul their books, and peep through knot-holes to detect them iu dis tributing Indian blankets to tlio "wrong Iu- dians," is becoming quite popular with this Administration. Millions of the people's money are thus squandered every year. It is an outrage that would make even a dirt cater wince if it wasn't necessary to save tlie Union. tviT The Times savs that Mott, who has been sent out here to look into the ac counts of the Indian Department, is now rusticating iu San Francisco, nnd tells him to hasten on. Didn't Ilibbcn get "nary blanket," when the poor untutored savages " Toddy Jep" and " Chickopeo" signed the " receipts'' nnd packed off theirs f If not, a second-hand one will be amply sufficient to seal his mouth. fciT John Nugent, editor of the Sun Francisco Herald, has beset poor Buclmn- nn for an oDiee to some purpose. Ho has long been nsing around the White House waiting for something to turn up iu the way of a place. Tho Tribune savs that Buch anan has sent him to Fruzier's river to tell our citizens that they must behave tlicm- selves and not get into a muss with the British authorities. Where Buchanan gets his authority for thus swamping some eight or ten thousand dollars of the peo ple's money by creating nn unheard-of of fice, we nro of course unable to sco. It has becomo so customary to reward parti' sans iu this way that we prcsumo if the ed itor of the organ ot Salem should go to Washington and urge as a reward for ser vices douo ' our party' that he should be set to watching Deluzou's hen-roost while he went to tho Senate, ho wotdd receive his commission with a salary of seven or eight hundred a year. The sound und reliable democracy would think it n stutesmtin-likc act in old Buck, if they were only told that it was absolutely necessary to employ him to keep the pole-cats out of Smith's henuery in order to save the Union. JSy An abolition convention was held at Syracuse Aug. 4. which nominated Ger- rit Smith for governor of York State. Thero was only about 100 iu attendance, and tho resolution nominating Smith re ceived just seven votes. Fred Douglas was tho leading spirit iu the convention, nnd seemed about as othYious as his kinsman of the Times did in the Salem caucus which fixed the ratio of representation. taT tho X. Y. Tribune has published the whole secret of horse-taming as prac ticed by Karcy. The article is copyrighted in order to prevent speculators from pub lishing it in pamphlet form. The Tribune thinks it is worth a vast sum to every man who raises horses. Wo shall begin the publication of it be fore long, and continuo it for several weeks till it is completed. Those who nro not taking the Argus, will do well to subscribe soon, so as to get the whole to file away. It is worth ten times the subscription price. ftsT" The Advocate gives notice that af ter next January no paper will be scut to subscribers who have not paid in advance. In view of tho consequences, it exhorts all tho preachers to try to get ' every family' to sub scribe and pay down. We will very politely invite the ' brethren to feel the pulse of such as 'don't want the Advocate,' about taking the Argus. If you know tho 'family' to to be good for its debts, never mind ubout collecting the money yourselves, but just order the money scut to its by some safe conveyance when it is convenient. The ad vance pay system is the best we know for the publisher, but then we want every good man to have the paper note, if he is not able to pay till ly and Is. t&" Mr. Mahlon Brock has our thanks for a fine lot of apples. ljc (Oregon Clrgu t$ " Tli Bulf that separates national de mocrscy f-oni Uiaik Republicanism ul lliii day ia ns brand as lliat which divided deiiNicmi-y ami federalism in tin ily data of Ilia Urpublio." I'm liana mianaart. We acknowledge that tho 'gulf which separates national democracy in Oregon from Republicanism, is broader thun that nlilch separates Douglas democracy from Republicanism cast, and Just as broad as that which separates tho Republican party there from the Admlnlstrntidu dirt-cuting 'uationuhi at Washington. But whut puzzle us is that this same gulf which to the Standard's vision now yawns nnd gapes so terribly, was thought to bo so very uur row tlmt black republicans' could step over it into the ' national' camp just as cosy as not. Friend Dryer, who cither KtcjijKd or flew over at the tuil of Leland'sl coat, thought the passage was quite easy, aud echoed the Standard's snarls at us be cause we stood " shivering on the brink, And fiarcd to lauueb away." What object the Standard now has iu rep resenting the gulf to l so terribly ' broad' and impassably we are not aide to see, un less it wishes to prevent friend Dryer aud tho few weak-kneed Republicans who jumped it lust spring from trying to jump back. It's too late, however, as they all took the leap back long ago, except per haps ' bro. Dryer" und some half-dozen oth er ollicc-scekers, who now wish they had, as they feci in their present company a good deal like crows among jackdaws. Rev. Mr. Deild, of California, who is now on a visit to this Territory in behalf of the TemK'rance cause, lectured to an audience iu this city last Thursday night, and speaks agniu to-morrow evening, at tho Methodist church. He takes hold of his subject like a man in good earnest, and handles it in a wny that ought to convince anybody of the imperative necessity of prohibition. SnnnEn TiiF.M ip at last. Dr. Wilcox informs us that one patent has issued from Washington at last. It was for land taken under a land warrant, however, aud not under the donation act. j In justice to the Administration we c cord the fact, although we have serious fears whether it will survive the shock of such a herculean effort. JCC7" The threshers of grain iu Yamhill assured us hist week that there was more than double the grain in the county this that there was last year. Tho grain ' turns out' remarkably well, and we timed one of Demciit's two-horse power machines, finding it threshed eight bushels of wheat in sevcu minutes and three qunrters, and ten bushels of oats iu five minutes. Farmers are find ing that these two-horso power machines arc much better than the six and eight horse power ones, as the expense of running them is much less and they thresh about ns fast us any ono man can measure up. We measured and sacked the wheat at the spout of one of them for half a day last week, and then ' bushed.' JJ" The triangular fight in tho St. Louis district, Missouri, has resulted in the election of the pro-slavery enndidato for Congress. The returns, which are incom plete, foot up for Barrett, dem., 6,118; Blair, Repnb., 0,122; and Breckenridge, Amor., 5,289. tZif The news of the rc-nppointment of Guthrie as Receiver in tho Land Office in this city, is said to have lengthened friend Lovejny's face till it favors that of one of the Illinois ' prairie pointers,' which are able to reach their noses through tho fence cracks and root up the fourth row of po tatoes. 8S5 J. W. Ladd of Montrose Furm has our tlumks for a box of fruit from his or chard, consisting of the Green Gage, Coc's Golden Drop, Citizen's Scarlet, Cloth of Gold, and Imperial Gago plums, with Sp'co Sweet apples, and a lot of the finest peaches, supposed to be the Early Crawford. As a specimen lot, it would be hard to beat outside of Mr. Ladd's celebrated orchard. J-jjr John Campbell, who was committed to jail last week for stealing a gold watch nnd revolver, left a few days ago. While the jailor and several other men were in feeding tho prisoners, he by some witchcraft so blinded their eyes ns to step out without being seen, although one man is said to havo been sitting in the door ull the time. fcS?" Tho closing examination of tho Mc Minnville institution under charge of Rev. Mr. Chandler takes place on the 20th and 21st of this month. We have accepted an invitation to be present nt the time and make a speech upon the political issues of the day, nt a convenient time during inter mission of the school exercises. HSf We nro indebted to T. Cartwright, Esq., of Ccntervillc, for the rear half of an excellent deer. The gamo will continue to " use" around Centerville, in spite of the encroaching improvements. By the way, we consider Centerville tho seat of the most intelligence of any town of its size in Ore gon, as every citizen takes the Argus. The ladies there arc of course all intelligent, good house-keejters, aud good-looking. Jka? In copying off our subscription list a few weeks ago we overlooked a number of names in different sections. We have rectified the mistakes so far as we have been apprised of the oversight fcaT The Standard says that Mr. Long who was employed in a saw-mill at Portland i was accidental! drowned last Friday. I JoT Tho Standard editor has had taste of grouso at the Metropolis, and won der why tho ' delicious birds' are not oft- ener offered for sale hi that market. By riding out to t'euterville, only sixteen miles from Portland beyond Taylor's ferry, he cuu at most any time during this full enjoy a fcuMt of such ' delicious birds' as grouse, quails, partridges, deer, aud bear, with perhaps a wolf-steak to carry homo for Hihbcn. tar S. J. McCormick, of tho Franklin Book Store in Portland, has beat himself this time in sending us exchanges by the last steamer. Tho Horticulturist, and Journul of Rural Art, and Mother's Mag azine, which accompanied the package, are works that ought to le hi every family. All the 'most valuable of eastern publica tions can bo had through McCormick. -y A little son of BenJ. Butler of Folk county, six or seven years old, fell out of a wagon and was run over by ono of the wheels at McMinnville last Saturday, nnd so severely injured thut his life was de spaired of at lust accounts. The September number of the Ore gon Fanner came to hand much improved. It hus two very neat cuts representing Or egon fruit, besides the reading matter is quite interesting. S3" We have news from the Dalles that Mnj. Garnett had again encountered the Indians. Ho fell in with them on the Okanegnu and killed hulf a dozen of them without losing a man. t3T The news from Froscr River is of no great interest ulthough quito a number arc said to be doing very well since tho full of the water. ST The rascal who stole a neck-yoke from our wagon near the parsonage, will please return it, unless he thinks he can do better by keeping it. 37 A revolution hus taken place in the Society Islands, the King dethroned, and an offer made to Mr. Owner, the American Consul, to place the couutry under the pro tection of the United States, or for the ad mission of the Islands into the Union as a sovereign State, without asking anything for themselves, and without demanding anything like purchusc-moncy, or making any stipulation. Mr. Owner accepted their letter, aud promised to forward it to Wash ington. SOT Hon. D. L. Gregg, for the past four years the worthy U. S. Commissioner at the Sandwich Islands, has been made Minister of Finance by Kir.g Kamehameha IV. The King has granted Mr. Gregg letters of denization, giving him tho privi leges of a subject. , Charles F. M. 'olund, long tho ed itor of the Butesville (Ark.) Eagle, nnd whose writings over the signature of ' Pete Whetstone' are known throughout the Southwest, died lately at Little Rock, Ark ansas, aged 40 years, iiis disease was consiimntiori. 'Fcnt' was one of tho no blest spirits that ever lived. Tc.u.Am Navigation. By reference to advertisement, it will be seen that tho Hoo sier Xo. 3 will commence running on Mon day week. 8y Senator Bright of Indiana has joined the Roman Catholic church. flaT Tho Spiritual Register in giving tho number of spiritualists in the United States, puts Oregon down at 1,000. Several communications are laid over till wo get timo to examine them. From Walla-Walla. Walla-Walla, Aug. 9, 1858. Friend Adams: I snatch a moment from the onerous duties of a miner cn route to tho " fountain head of gold" to communi- ate with you. I have but little leisure timo for writing, ns you, who are on old miner yourself, well know. What between tho time spent in watching the " Durhnms," in cooking, eating, smoking, telling yarns; and sleeping, I have of course few mo ments left for taking items. To please a hundred friends in the Willamette Valley who importuned me to write, I am now seated to address them all at once through a paper which everybody that is anybody reads. Our wagon train reached here three dnys ago witliout tiie slightest accident, a great many packers had reached hero in advance of us, and still they come. The whole crowd will probably leave here to morrow, or ns soon as Gen. rainier returns from Col. Wright's camp. Thirteen com panies of soldiers are to be sent out, a por tion of which is said to be crossing Snake River now, near the mouth of Taleuso Ri ver. They propose paying Col. Steptoc's old friends a visit, and it is expected they will meet with a warm reception. Ihow and Skloom, with all of the Yakima braves, have all gono up by way of rricst's Rap ids. They tried hard to get the Indians at Priest's Rapids to go with them, tut the chief refused to go, when Ihow's son killed him. A few others were also killed and alwtit 200 horses driven off. Mashell, who lives at the Rapids, brings this news, and also says that the Yakimas are infesting the trail we shall travel, and will probably give us battle. We shall number not less than three hundred, many however badly armed; yet we sliall not go much out of our way to avoid them. Dave McLourhlin has passed on to the mines safely, so tar as is known, An Indian who went out as guide returned after they reached Okanugun. This Indi an thinks wo will have difficulty now in puAsing through their country, as the In dians aro uear our trail. Capt. Robertson, who was driven from the Yakima some timo since, passed on up tho Columbia on the north side a few days since, keeping near tho mountains. He must of courso have found no paying diggings. Kamniukin, or somo other tier, has made a requisition for more beef cuttle. They took thirty head of oxen. A company of dragoons went in pursuit, but their horses gave out and they returned to the Fort. We leave here this morning, taking with us ten Indiuns as guides. No gold news. Yours, in haste, J. S. RlXKARSO, Laying1 of the Atlantis Telegraph I Three unsuccessful attempts were made to lay the Telegraph cubic. On the first attempt about ten miles of cable wero lost, on tho second ubout 120 miles, and on the 28th of June the cable was again joined, and about 250 miles were paid out, when communication ceasing to be received on board the Niagara, the cuble was parted. uen the communication ceased, it was considered that the opportunity might as well be availed of to test the strength of the cable. Accordingly, this immense ves sel, with all her stores, Ac., was allowed to swing to tho cubic, aud, in addition, strain of four tons was placed upon the breaks, yet, although it was blowing fresh nt the time, the cable held her as if she had been at anchor for over an hour, when a heavy pitch of the sea snapped the rope, and the Niagara bore away for Queens- town. On the nrrivul of the Agamemnon at that port, it was resolved to start again for a final attempt to luy the cable, on the 17th of July, there still being, on both ships, 2,500 miles of the cuble left. The AtUmtle Telrirnpk a u Flxtd Fact.11 At one o'clock, p.m., of the 5th Aug., the X. Y. Herald issued an extra, announ cing the arrival of tho Niagara and Gor gon at Trinity Bay, Newfoundland. The cable was being lauded, aud the connection with the Agamemnon was perfect. The Herald says: " The news from Newfoundland is almost two pood to be true. The Atlantic cable is laid t The United Stntes steam frigate Niagara, Capt. Hudson, and British war steamer Gorgon, Capt. Dayman, arrived at Trinity Bay, yesterday, and the A tlnntie cable, the working of which is perfect, is being landed to-elny. " All we can hope for now is that the above important and exciting intelligence is true, that the Ayamemnon and Valorous will succeed in lauding their cable safely at Valentin Buv. " This news will send nn electric shock throughout the world." The Agnmcmnon and Valorous were within one hundred miles of the Irish coast. Mk. Bcchaxan's Extravagance. The Richmond Whig thus tersely exhibits the gigantic extravagance of the present Ad ministration. The picture is as accurate as it is strongly portrayed: " Only think of it, fellow citizens! Mr. Buchanan has only been in office since 4th March, 1857 a period of sixteen months. aud, in that time, he has spent all the cur rent revenue of the country, nnd in addi tion thereto seventeen millions which General Pierce left in the Treasury nnd twenty millions or treasury notes, nnd twenty millions of borrowed money, and is now borrowing a third sum of twenty millions making the grand nggregate of SKVEATY-SEVJSN MILLIONS of dollars over and above tho current reven ues', spent in less than two years! This is a fair beginning, certainly, for a party which is always vociferous in favor of economy! " If this tiling is tolerated by the people, when and where will it end f Van Buren spent' about forty millions a year, and the eople rose up, utmost as one man, aud lurled him from office! If ho deserved such a rebuke for his extravagance, what is to be the measure of reprobation due to the present administration whose expendi tures are more than double ? Bi iinino of tub " Loa Cabin" of " Old Tippecanoe." The "old North Bend Mansion House," tho " log cabin of " Old Tip," rich with reminiscences, historic, al most classic, of world-wide celebrity, fa mous in song and story, was burned to the ground lately. It was occupied by the family of Col. Wm. H. H. Taylor, son-in- law of President Harrison, who barely es caped with their lives, saving only their night clothes. B&- The Christian Register states that the Catholic authorities in Italy being un able to prevcut the faithful from reading Uncle Tom's Cabin, have so altered the plot in the last edition, as to represent the old negro dying a martyr to his firm belief in the Immaculate Conception. SA. The Charleston Mercury Bays that " if the recent meetings for the reception of Senator Crittenden in Kentucky, are a re flex of the feelings and opinions of the peo ple of that State, ' she may as well be stricken from the roll of Southern States." KU The Richmond South favors the re election of James Buchanan to the Presi dency. It says be is " the only candidate whom the Southern people could hope to elect in I860." V. A petition to the Postmaster Gen eral has been got up at Knoxville, Tenn., requesting; him to discontinue the Sunday moil through East Tennessee.

It ia bowover to be hoped that " the pen' will settle all amk-ably. Tut Indian Win. The War Department feela disinclined to call out volunteers from tha Pacific, aa urged by Meiare. Stevens and Lane. Colonel Clark's regiment of the Sixth Infantry, now with General Johnston iu Utah, hoe been ordered to proceed by the overland route in Oregon. This, with recruits from New York, and the disposable force on the Pacific, will make an aggregate of over two thousand men. The iuleligence received at Washington author ixta the opinion tluit general Indian outbreak may be anticipated in Washington and Oregon Territories, and prepirations are making on that supposition. Tea V. S. TaiAsiRY The Secretary of the Treasury is anticipating sufficient receipts from the ordinary sources of revenue to meet all the cxpensea ofeilio Government The receipts from customs at New York averaged nearly one hun dred and fifty thousand dollars per day during the past week, and thus week that amouut will be overrun. Aa New York furnishes about two thirds of the whole revenue, Ihe estimated receipts are now twelve hundred thousand dollars per week, or at the rate of $62,000,000 per annum. This being the case, it is probable that no portion of the authorized loan will be negotiated. It is a singular fact, under the present tariff, that while the amount of dutiable goods Is much less, tho amount of revenue received from them la greater. The enormous reoeipts at the New York Custom House ($26U,000) on July 31, and the previous gradual increase, satisfies Secretary Cobb that he will not have to negotiate the ten millions of Iho authorized loan not yet advertised. Tha ton millions for which proposals have been asked will be negotiated as advertised. t37"The Washington correspondent of the New York Times furnishee the official reply of Lord Malmcsbury to Mr. Dallas, who had called the attention of tho Dritish government to the ap prehended difficulties at Vancouver Island, touch ing the passage of our citizens into the gold re gions. Lord Malmeebury assures Mr. Dallas that the British government are disposed to deal liber ally with the citizens of the United Slates who may desire to proceed to that quarter of the Brit ish pracstions. But it would be necessary, in tha first place, to look into the legal claims of the Hud son Day Company in connection with this ques tion. . Private advices have been sent to Governor Douglas, cautioning him to exercise Ihe utmost discretion with regard to restrictive measures and urging upon him a liberal policy. Taoors rot OsEaox. In army orders, issue 1 by General Harney, from Headquarters of the troupe for Utah, July 12th, the fullowing occurs: The troops designed in general orders to con tinue tho inarch lo tun and Oregon, viz: tire vet Major Reynold's Company C, 3d Artillery ; the 6lh and 7th Recimeuts of Infantrv, and all the recruits on duty, with any of the columns, whether attached or organized temporarily into companies, will proceed in the order of their pres ent positions, and with similar organizations and the same designation as the columns to which they hate hitherto belonged ; and all officers and enlisted men belonging' to troops in advance will report to the commanders of the columns with which they have previously been on duty, in order mat tney may aocompany mem, unless otherwise specially ordered. Tiii Paorosao New State. We find in Ihe Ontonagon Advocate a call for Convention at Ontonagon on the 25th of August, to consider the propriety of forming new Territorial Government with a view to the erection of a Slate, embracing the upper Peninsula of Michigan, the northern part of Wisconsin and tha Lake couutics of Min nesota. tW Although Col. Benton died at the advanced age of 76, yet he lived long enough to witness tha realization of the prediction which he nude in the Senate thirty-two years ago, in a speech on his bill to graduate the price of Public Land : " The valley of the Mississippi will be filled np ; the barriers of tho Rocky Mountains wil be pass ed ; the boundary of the Pacific will be reached ; the circumambulation of the Globe will be com pleted ; the oldest and the youngest people will be brought together, and the emigration of the hu man race will stop where it began, on the borders and confines of the Celestial Empire." Tui Conditio or tiii Thames. Such ia the poisoned and filthy state of the Thames, at Lon don, that the fish are sickened, aud become so helpless that they can be laken out with the hands. On being placed in pure water they re vive. An officer of health writes to the Times that Ihe aspect and odor of an open aewer is not so offensive or unhealthy as the Thames, for the reaeua that there Is a constant agitation and whip ping np of its filthy contents by steamboats.
