Pat Your Debts. We find the follow,
lug scnsiblo remarks In a religious paper
" down casts"
"Men tnuy sophltftirate u tlioy pleaso.
Thcv can never tnuke it riiht. ami all tha
bankrupt laws in the uitiverte cannot make
it right for them not to pty their delitn.
There is a sin in this neglect u clear, and
aj J-'S Tviiir church discipline m in stealing
or fidoe swenring. He who violitU hi
promise to pay, or withlraldi the payment
of a debt when it in iu hit power to meet hie
cn jenunt, oirltt to l)e ra ido to foci that
in the sig!it of all honest msn he it a iwiml
Isr. Itjligioit m.iy l)e a vcrr comfortablo
cloak uniler which to hide, but if religion
does not make a man deal justly, it is not
Worth having."
To the above we will add that an bonrit
man, whether a professor of religion or not,
, will pny his debts if it Is in his power.
Ileuco wo would always rather trust a
poor man who is honest, than a man who
is doing business with a full capital whose
principles will allow him to break any day
with money in his pocket, while his credit
ors are unpaid. The man who refuses to
pay fin honest debt when he can, would
steal if he thought ho could do so without
being detected, and the man who fails to
pay such a debt through sheer negligence,
if not equally dishonest with him who re
fuses, is certainly not entitled to the credit
of being an honest man. The old proverb
that " honesty is the best policy," means,
wo believe, that it pays the best. That a
man ever makes anything in the long run
by stealing, cheating, or in any other way
avoiding to render to all their honest dues,
we do not believe. Our doctrine is, and
we defy tiie world to produce a solitary ex
ception, that he who is temperate, industri
ous, and possessed of that sterling honesty
that David denominated " riglitcousnass,"
will ucver bo seen " begging bread," that
is as we understand It, living on what he
owes.
An honest man would rather lose a hun
dred dullurs than defraud a human being
out of one. The curse of Heaven rented
upon the basket and storo of the Jew who
stopped his ears to the "cry of the laborer
who had renped down his fields for uonght,"
and we believe that the man who will dc
juivo the poor laborer of his wages will be
literally cursed in this world, and justly
damned In the next.
- A strictly honest man is really, as
Inspiration hath it, " tho noblest work of
Go J." lie is a priceless jewol, find him
whero you will, whether In the gilded pal
ace or the humble cabin, and although sel
dom appreciated by tho world he will sure
ly some day stand up npou a lofty emi
nence as the crowning climax of Qod's cre
ation of intelligence!? " the noblest work
of God." Wo once thought that the great
majority of men were honest, but many
years of experience in dealing with men
liavo very much lowered our opinion of
poor, frail humanity. Especially have we
been compelled to lower onr standard since
tvo have" been an editor and had our pano
rama of human character somewhat extend
ed. Our friends will probably feel compli
mented when we tell them that we honestly
believe the class of people with whom our
business has brought us in contact Is more
respectable than that with which any other
Oregon editor has dealt; yet we are com
pelled to sny, suffuse the cheek with crimson
us it may, that scarce three fourths of those
with whom we have dealt could get as to
certify to otir belief in their strict honesty.
What we term nn honest man Is one who
can hi) trusted under all circumstances.
Ho will never leave tho country without
paying you the last dime ho owes, never
put you to needless expense and trouble in
collecting, never quibble and vary from a
contnet because it is not in writing, never
kick his lmlf-bushel when you trust him to
divide your grain, never study his own in
terest exclusive of yours, never try to crawl
out of a bargain because he has made a bad
one, never try to cheat you in a trade by
misrepresenting his property or by failing
to tell you honestly all its defects, never
pocket a part of your money without rend
ering an account of it when yon send him
out collecting for you, ucver promise to do
a job of work for you at a given time and
then disappoint you because somebody else
will pay him cosh, whereas yon were to pay
him in trade, never misrepresent your princi
ples or statements in order to injure you
in short, he will never serve you as ho would
not like to be served if he were placed In
your position. A u honest man may, we ad
mit, violate many of these rules through
ignorance or through some misunderstand
ing, but, npon making him sensible of the
fact he will invariably make ample resti
tution. itoT The U. S. Mail Steamer Panama
reached Portland last Sunday night. We
arc indebted to Mr. Hoyt, the gentlemanly
clerk of the Express, for files of eastern
papers.
Arrived. Brig Gen. Harucy reached
Vancouver lust Saturday night.
Gold ix thk Black Hills. Miners
liOTe got into St Louis from Pike's Peak
and represent the mines to be rich in the
Block Hills. Large trains are leaving the
settlements for the new mine.
SO. We shall begin to piUnthe Art
of Horse Taming next week.
Overland Mail. The second overland
mail stage from St. Louis to California baa
arrived. It left St. Louis the same day the
steamer left New York City, and beat the
steamer one day. The distance Is estimat
ed at 2,103 miles. This brings nearly all
the Western States within lest than 3,000
miles of California, and taret seven cents
no.stuire on each letter. The Herald in de
scribing tho entrance of the tUge-coach
into San Francisco goes off after this wise:
" Towering above the vehicle as It daub
gallantly along, sat the stalwart driver,
pronder than Louis Napoleon at tiwelet
of CberlMurg, and infinitely more happy, os
ho heard the unsolicited, spontaneous shouts
of applause and welcome that burst from
the assembled multitude. He waved aloft
h's scepter of command hit whip with
as much diirii.tr and pride at a field mar
shut would h i baton after a brilliant victo
ry, and then ojrttin. influenced by tho uni
versnl enthusiasm of his reception, he would
nneover his head and swing his weatner-
beaten, slouched hat In token of heartfelt
recognition. The very horses, superb, fleet
and well-mettled auunals, teemed to par
take of the jubilee, and curved their foam-
covered necks with prouder arch, while
their smoking flanks bore witness to the
noble service they had performed."
As Buchanan wot big with a Pacific
railroad, and only brought forth a stage
coach, the loco foco editors off hats and
shout lustily at even the outcoming mouse,
when the democratic mountain groans.
An enthusiastic meeting was got np In San
Francisco, and speeches made compliment
ing the Administration for this mighty
achievement, besides passing a resolution
for the personal benefit of Postmaster Gen
eral Brown. Tho appropriation of $500,'
000 for an overland route to San Francisco
was mado by tho Republican Congress over
which Banks presided, with the under
standing that the coaches should choose
their own route. Their interest of course
would lead them to choose the shortest and
best in order to save expense and facilitate
the passage of the mail. But Postmaster
General Brown, true to the instincts of a
sectional democrat, refused to receive bids
for any other than a southern route through
Texas, a route scvcrul hundred miles long
er than the central one, and which requires
four or five days more to accomplish than
the other. Notwithstanding the Adminis
tration has killed the Pacific railroad bill
so dear to California and Oregon, and has
made a sectional move of what the Repub
licans intended should have been a national
one, the fanatical democracy upon the ap
pearance of the first stage-coach are ready J
to split their throats in shouting over this
wonderful feat of the Administration. If
Nugent had appeared in San Francisco
with tho U. S. mail on a whccllarrow
" only ninety days from Texas," this re
joicing would have been the same, provided
Buchanan sent him.
New Paper at Eugene Cjtt. Our
friends at Eugene City have bought a part
of the Pacific Journal press, and will soon
start a Republican paper in that place. B.
J. Pengra, who will for the present take
tho charge of tho editorial department, vis
ited us last week, and handed us a pros
pectus, which commits the paper fully to
tho advocacy of the same great national
principles that we have been contending
for, with a solitary exception where the
' Press' is committed to a step in advancer
of what wo have ever taken, and in advance
of what our copy of the Philadelphia or
the Oregon platform takes. Upon a thor
ough discussion of the points at issue be
tween the political parties, we find, howev
er, that there is littlo or no difference
between Mr. Pengra and ourself, and we
sincerely hope that his paper and our own
will work together harmoniously in the
great stugglo for human rights and pouplur
sovereignty in which our noblo party is en
gaged. We shall be truly gratified In hav
ing a co-laborer In the good work in Ore
gon, and hope tho Press may materially
advance the cause in its immediate neigh
borhood. It will be printed at $3 a year
In advauce, $3,50 in six-months, or $1 at
the end of tho year.
Tho objects had in view by those who
have started this paper are laudable, and
we hope to see it survive without becoming
too heavy a tax on the stockholders. Our
friends at Eugene City have not ' conferred
with flesh and blood' in this undertaking,
as some may suppose tbey should nave
done, but, in that latitude, we are credibly
informed such a ' coarse' is not necessary to
render the publishers popular.
Mariox County, Oct. 20th, 1858.
Ed. or Argcs Dear Sir: I have long
had it in mind to write to yon to ask you
a question. Last spring during the can
vass in this county one of the uuslute can
didates for the Legislature stated that Gov.
Geary hod never said a word against tno
Pierce administration of affairs in Kansas.
Is the statement correct f or is it one of
the misstatements by which the party lives ?
Kespectfully yours, M.
When it is recollected that Dclazon
Smith made the statement July 4th, 1851,
in an oration at Eugene City that Senator
Wilson wrote a letter more or less endors
ing the objects of the Worcester Disunion
Convention, what better could be expected
of one of the lesser lights of the sham de
mocracy than such an assertion as that to
which friend M. alludes f
It is well knewn that the papers at the
time of Geary't resignation stated npon hit
(Geary's) authority that he could not re
main at Governor of Kansas while the bor.
der ruffian power, backed up by the judi
ciary tent there by Fierce, and kept there
by the aame individual, waa in full blast
rendering hit authority aa Governor nuga
tory. He wat not only treated with' too-
tempt by the Administration pro-twery
officials, but hit life was sttcmpfcdAy the
blood-hounds that snuffed upon
After baring spent $500 to kire IUyet
arrested, who perpetrated qiro of the most
diabolical murders on record In killing Buf-
fum, Judge Lecompte, poor rierce'i tool,
issued a writ of kabeai corput and released
Htyea on straw ball, who of course went
home to Missouri. Sherrard, a drunken
vagabond whom Geary bad refused to com'
mission as Sheriff, after he had been ap
pointed to that post by the bogus legisla
ture, spit in Geary's fuce publicly, and
sought every opiwrtwiitv to provoke him
to resixt, to ttiut he might take hit life,
On his way home, Gov. Geary called at
the office of the St. Louis Democrat, and
gave tho editors of that pncr a history of
the wrongs and outrages be bud with other
free State men suffered In Kansas. We
make a short extract from that pnjcr dated
March 17th, 1857, to show that Geary did
blame poor Pierce at well at hit ruffian
judges aud postmasters for compelling him
to resign:
" The Governor state the cause of his
resignation to be the failure of trIW.
dent Pierce to fulfill the pledges rosde at
the time of bis acceptance of tint appoint
mint. The promises of Mr. I'iercn, he
says, were to support him (Geary) with
the United State army, the militia, and
the Treasury, if nrcciMry ; but instead
of receiving this aid, either in men or mon
ey, from tle President, he hat paid 112,
000 out nf his own pocket fur the support
f l administration ; and with regard to
military support, he hits even been refused
a detachment of two companies of civslry,
for which be applied uuurr the moat urgent
ctrcumsl meet, and received the hauehly
answer from the officer in command, that
Die army of toe United Stale was not em
nloverl to irlrcl him. In addition, the
Judiciary of iha Territory, nt well at the
military of the Government refused its sup
port. Ju'hze Lecomot thwarted him on
all occdjiniiH, and having the meant to ex
cute hi judicial decree, was enxbled to
overrule him in every important meature.
" Among other thing, the Covent
or complaint most bitterly of the annoyanc
es which hesunWed in tlieobstriic'ioit and
mutilation of his correspondence. The
mail baut, he tsys, were comtantly opened,
and all communication to and from him
tt'ttematicallv overhauled, and, if objection
able, abstracted. Mr. McClain, Chief
Clerk in the Surveyor-Geni-nd'a Office,
boated of the fact, and staled that he
himself had destroyed and suppressed two
buvhelt of mail mn'ter.
Regulars the thing. The San Fran
cisco Herald In speaking of the close of our
Indian war by a scries of " brilliant and
rapid exploits" on the part of the regular
forces, soys:
"The long cherished idea that volunteers
alone were effective for Indian campaigns
is completely exploded. The illusion has
been dispelled, and with It we have got rid
of the enormous expenditures It has hereto
fore cost the Government to carry on our
Indian wars."
It is a fact that cannot be disputed that
the scalps taken by the Regulars in Oregon
have not cost the Government one tenth as
much as those taken by Gov. Curry's vol
unteers.' Whether our war debt will bo
proportioned to the cost of doing the same
amount of execution by tho Regulars, re
mains to bo seen. If so, it will be cut
down from four millions to about three
hundred thousand.
New Arrangements. We learn tha
D. J. Schnebly Esq., formerly editor of the
Spectator, has bought Willamette City, an
uninhabited villiage of five or six frame
buildings on the west bank of the Willam
ette at the foot of the ClackamaB rapids.
He gets the city with fifty acres of land for
$1,500. He intends to set out a large or
chard, and turn his attention to practical
agriculture. ' He Is also employed to edit
the Oregon Farmer at a salary of $1,000
a year. We hopo he will keep a small
steamer for the purpose of visiting his friends
up and down the river.
His new location will probably suit the.
literary turn of his mind better than that ol
Roscdale, and we wish i him great prosperity
California Crops. The Herald of So:
rancisco sums up the Assessors' reports
for eleven counties in California, and gives
the following as the aggregate of the grain
crop for 1858. Wheat, 1,520,403 bushehi;
barley, 2,675,974 ; oats, 485,54 1.;
In 1857 the crop in these counties stood:
Wheat 787,223; barley, 1, 891,022; oats,
303,205.- ;
In 1856 it stood: Wheat, 1,667,167;
barley, 2,291,689; oats, 463,016. . .
California has enough bread stuff for her
own consumption and nearly half a million
bushels of wheat to spare this year.

We bndu't discovered in our travels that
the public wra very much exercised about

Or do you refer to the fact that the Port

Mr. Editor: How were we surprised
and pleased on last Friday eve, by the sud
den appearance in our Division of some of
the fairest creatures men ever gazed upon!
And so sudden, too. Whero did they come
from? another world? or perchance the
clouds? But, no, that could not be, as
beings of such fairy forms and features
could not exist in any other world except
our own bright one; and as to being resi
dents of the clouds, that wot out of the
question.
But the mystery was soon solved, as we
were informed that a portion of the Mult
nomah Division, from Portland, had come
np on a visit to their poor lady-deserted
brethren of O. D. No. 8, S. of T.
Fair ladies, and gallant brothers, I, for
one, thank you for coming; and I know I
am only expressing the sentiments of all
onr Division. And, O, if I could write
with a poet's power, in what exalted verse
would I ting the teeming thoughts which
passed like lightning through my brain I
But I have not, and can only express my
self in duty prose which will appear prosy
enough.
In closing, I would say to all present on
that occasion, Let us feel and exclaim in
regard to Old King Alcohol like Ccesar of
old did toward some of his enemies, veni,
tidt, vici, and we will soon have no need
of Division or Temperance societies, as all
willl be temperate from choice. Cox.
US' Francis P. Blair, Jr., writes in a
private letter to Boston, that be it en
