Mr. Editor: When I saw Xcnittic's npirited articles Appearing in your columus sit the beginning of tlic year, I hailed tlictn as the opening of discussions wliicli might be of advantage and amusement to the reading portion of our population. Not because I advocato Iter principles, but be cause I thought she had set a bull in mo tion that would lead to the proper investi gation of what is right aud what is wrong. It has long becu a proverb concerning Or cgouians that men cannot arguo without resorting to ridicule' or circumvention, but the present year is fast developing the fact that ladies arc taking a purt in the same kinds of folly, though uKn different sub jects., i The hint that M. P. Owen is a wo man, of which I had not thought until the last Argus came to hand, lends me to strongly suspect 'Ac.' to 'bo a man! No girl who 'married at sixteen,' 4 who could only read pretty well,' ever composed thai article, unless' she's proved on exception to the general rule, and has had no babies to tend. She may have copied it, or writing is a merely mechanical operation, but she wouldn't ' keep house' properly, tend babies as they ought to be tended, look as she should to the welfare of a ' loving nnd be loved' husband, nnd find the time to im prove herself snflicienlly after marriage to compose a sensible letter to a friend, much less writo newspaper 1 articles displaying nonie knowledge of history and any amount of I-have-my-own-way-ism. Wish I could hear the curtain lectures Mr. '&c.' gets! . What was there in the articles signed 'Xenittie' to call forth such excite ment except nnvarnished truth? Several years ago the .. Y. Tribune dared to speak disparagingly of the villainous cookery usually practiced by tho majority of coun try housewives. The wounded birds oil cried out, and fluttered, and made a terrible clamor, while those who escaped unharmed sought quietly the hallowed repose of th home nest, and lent their aid to the bc seiged editors.

Of course, he was enraged at the discovery of her absence, , ... and sought her out, for what? f o prom.se amendment? Xo: lie Spoke not Of that 4 is business was to demand their child. Theluw, he said, would give it to him, when it no longer needed the mother's core, and have it he must and would 1 What a scene followed! Tears, entreaties to be left without a dollur, only that she might keep the child, were of no avail. A mo ther's undying lovo overcame every other Ming, and she returned to his home, to liear anew the consequences of his neglect. But there is a limit to human endurance, and a second tiine sho sought her mother's home. Tho husband commenced suit against her, and the laws of our country took froni the urms of that mother tho l.t tle daughter, whose life wus as her own, aud gavo it to the father's keeping! Read er, this is no drawn picture this is fact. and I could give the names of the parties concerned. The mother knows not what has become of her child, aud lives a l.fe that none can envy iu the seclusion of her mother's homo. The father attends his club, talks politics, treats his favorite asso ciates, and, it is said, contemplates a second marriage, which report I hope is not true, not that I care how soon he gets a Xan- tippd for a second wife, but, to spare the feelings of tiiat anguish-stricken mother, I faiu would hope that no one will listen to his address. . &c.', have you children? . If so, what think, you of this? Friend ' Lear,' that self-same husbund nnd f.ither would have been one of the first to' give up his seat at the diinnr-tuble for those phiiu- fuced ladies. It is not of men iu society that ladies complain. ' Ardent ladies' may wish to Control affairs of Church or State, but what want, is to seo ludiis (ontent (as some one has said) to use crall? for bullotrboxes, iu which they have a right to plant, not votes, but voters. Before I leave this subject entirely, the women slum receive a I.ttlo plum talk, which they certainly need, concerning home duties, as I know that woman's influence is of great weight, unless her husband be a brute, iu which case she has uo material upon which to work ; but if children will give up the idea of mating in babyhood, they won't be half so apt to marry brutes. Friend ' Lear,' you needn't ' propose' to me. I am married to a husband who takes care o( the baby upon all conveni ent occasions,' mid who agrees with me iu saying that your proposal, to Xenittie was a disgraceful attempt on your, part to be' sarcastic nnd wittv.

OREGON CITY, OREGON, APRIL 28, 1859. from Arlioaa. Corrttptndenei of tht St. Lmil R'puh'i an. Ti'bac, Arizona, Jan. 30, 1859.

Summing up the entire Aimrciin populul.on, including the men employed ai the overland mail stations, and allowing largely for transient persons, we barely make two hundred and fifty. I think tnis is very liberal estimate. Some of the "oldest Inhabitants" hereabouts declare that it Is impossible iu find even two hun dred American ntsidents In this Territory. The vote for Mr. Mowry is no criterion of the population, for, to quote the President's language, "it in alleged that rrtrybody voted, men, women, children, Indians, and greasers." I do not pretend to say that such is tho ease I ouly give the common rumor hereabouts. The pnpuliit'o" of this Territory will not increase until there is more security for life and property against the Indians. Of late tho Apaches are wor than ever. Twice within the last wetk have they been at Tu bacat night, steuljig stock from the corals; and it is not ten days since, iu bro. d day light, within a lew hundred yards of town, they r in off fourteen mulrs. Being pursued, the Indians lanced three of the mules and escaped with tho remainder. This is the second . time within n year thut Mr. Ynm y, owner of the mules, has becu robbed by the Pinal Apaches. ' On the 2Gth, two sergeants nnd their wives, triveling from Fort Buchanan to the Rio Grande, w.ro nttukcl ut Whet stone Springs, only eighteen miles from the fort, by n war party of Apaches. Sergeant Killy was shot dead; Sergeant Birry fell mortally wounded lit the first discharge of arrows. And now occurred a piece or hnr der In roism. The women, instead of scream ing unci fainting after the usual feminine style, seized the revolvers of their slain linn bundii and commenced firing at the Indiuns with such acenr.iry that tho murderous wretches fled without booty. Intelligence of the attack reached the fort somehow. Captain Kwejl, the com mander, with a detachment oFdngoois, was absent nt Dragoon Si-rings, assist ng Dr. Steilo, the Apnclic ngci t, iu his attempt to make a treaty w.tit these same Indians, but Lieut. Lord, with fifty troopers wus soon on the trail. This is a sad uffair. Both the murd 'i'ed men were steady, honorable,' deserving soldiers, nnd their mcliincliolly fute is deeply regretted. Ser geant Kelly had been in the service twenty yenrs, and Serjrennt Berry fifteen years. Even Doctor Stick, the worthy ngent of the Apaches, was robbed of eight mules, a few nights ago by the Pinal Apaches, with whom he is endeavoring to treat. It is la bor thrown away. 2'o dependence can be placid upon them, and before any moral suasion doctrines can be employed they re tiu're a bloody clmstist ment.

The Ren River or British America. This beautiful and fertile region, lying, northward and westward of the sources of the Mississippi, nnd eastward of the Rocky Mountains, is hardly known or heard of in the United States, yet is said to be one of the finest regions on the continent of Amer ica. A settlement was made there some fifty years since by a party of Scotch pec- pie, under a grunt made by the Hudson's Bay Company to Lord Selkirk, one of the proprietors of thut company. This settle ment, situated as it is upon the proposed line of the British Pacific Railroad with a hardy and industrious population number ing over ten thousand, born upon the soil, and knowing every inch of ground in the great valley in which they live, must give great fucil.ties to the enterprise, and assist much in its early accomplishment. Pcmbinn, its chief town, has schools and churches worthy or the descendants or. Scotch Pn sbyti rians, to wlioh church most of thein bclonjr. A large pnrt of the Air trade centers here; and its products , lutterly have found their way to St. Paul, Minnesota, on the navigable waters of the Mississippi traders with trains of hun dreds of ox carts, laden with the products of the chase, annually visiting that pluco to dispose of them iu exchange for such goods as they require. As a proof of the abun dunce of ganio in tliot valley, we give the following from the Suu Francisco Bulletin: "A party of hunters out In the Red R:ver Vulhy lately, in three weeks' time. k.lled COO buffaloes, und sent tho meat into Selkirk for fall use.
