A corrwiioudent of the Dulle Journal
girei a very interesting account of the trial
trip of the new steamer Col. Wright, which
made the trip from the mouth of the Dca
Chute to Fort Walla Walla, a distance
of one hundred and thirty mil'-, and back
again in two and a half days. The boat
started April 18, and returned on the 20th,
running down In seven hours and a half.
Wood is scarce along the river bank, and
In places is hauled from the mountain tlopcs
several miles distant at a cost of ten dollars
a cord. At one point they found an Indian
standing by a pile of wood he had chopped,
gesticulating furiously, and beckoning the
boat ashore to buy bis wood. Some of the
Indians gathered along the batiks to gaze
iu mntc astonishment at the first "fire-shi)"
they had ever seen, while- others fled with
terror to the mountains at iu approach.
The scenery on either side of the river is
said to have been magnificent. Snow
capped mountains with timber-skirted bases
in the diMance, with gra.-s-covercd hil!,
green Tallies, and undulating plains dotted
with Indian horses, nearer by, with here
and there a mountain stream disemboguing
itself through rocky defiles into the mighty
Columbia, made up a panorama ujion
which one might have dclighti d to gaze.

flVrsTtos StTri.ciiyftf notice a
com-iMinxal.oii in IM TJrcgon I armer (a
pajicr that ought to be iu every farm house

which is the first satisfactory evidence we
have ever seen that wheat will turn to chess.
Mr. Porter snys:

Mr. Porter needn't offer to swear to his
statement, ns we would just as soon take
his word ns his oath. Wc know him welt,
nnd his evidence has satisfied us that the
chess will conic from diseased wheat. If
we could only discover u method of turning
the vile stuff buck to wheat again, it would
not be so much matter. - Diamonds arc
nothing but pure carbon, or fixed air, which
cua by a chemical process be resolved into
a gas oin clement. Charcoal may also be
treated i:i the same manner, but to turn
charcoal to diamonds will probably be left
to th.; lucky genius who succeeds in making
dies.; produce wheat.
I.mi. Dn.tvRRv. All the prisoners broke
jail at Portland last week, among whom
was Pi.ilch, who murdered his son-in-law;
Gunisey, nnothcr murderer, with several
stars of less magnitude. Wo have already
spoken of the general jail delivery nt this
place. We hear that the Dalles jail has
been emptied. The next thing tlmt may be
looked for is the escape of Lawson, the mur
derer confined nt Hillsborough. There
seems to be no use anv lomrer in nrrestiii"
thieves nnd murderers. The farce of ar-
rcMing, trying, and confining them serves
only to run up heavy bills of expenses for
tax-jiayeis to foot. Why not petition the
Legislature to ubolish the wholo criminal
code? It would t-avc expenses, nnd serve
the cnyf of public security ul out as well ns

Mn. EniToit: I notice by the Argus
of April 1, 1 a revolution endorsed
by the Democrats of Mohdla precinct, rel
ative to tiie Constitution of the United
States recognizing negro slaves ns property
only, which has created considerable sensa
tion among some in this neighborhood.
Now, this is the rpicst'ou I wish to ask you: I
Does the Constitution recognize negro
laves as properly only, as has been alleged,
or dots it noil II il does, i infinite us
meaning very much. T.' L. Doxxey.
Our answer to friend Donney is, that
after reading the Constitution over several
times, we have failed to find the place
where negroes urc even mentioned. It
seems to have been cautiously worded by
its framers so as not very palpably to rec

Mn. toinm Though I ni'nn nothing
personal, but ..VaZ-nothing discredita
ble, but honorublt-l mast a,k pardon for
expressing the honest and lnunblo opinion
thut tho majority of the people in this State
have been tuiight from boyhood to almost
reverence the Democratic inline; therefore
having grown old in voting the Democratic
ticket on the ' through nnd through,' ; out
and out,' nnd ' whole hog or none' ),lttf'rm,
you might ns well try to 'draw 1'Wl fro'"
a turnip' os to get from them any reason
why they cling either to tho uame Demo
crat, or should hold to the party; or 10
learn an old dog new tricks as to prcvu;
on them by any menus whatsoever to vote
any other ticket than the one, ah! long
loved one, with a Democratic cap above its
Free-soil and nnti-Frcc-soil feet, Fcdcrul
and Hani-burner bodv and Know Nothing
head.
They certainly know full well that the
true Democratic party has no nnti-sluvcry
principles about it, that the Republican par
ty has no pro-slavery pnnc.jihs tlmt me
issue between the two parties docs not con
sist in the measures or means of carrying
out or extending their principles that
thes j questions,' popular sovcrc'gnty,'
' squatter sovereignty,' ' power of tho gen
crul Government,' Ac, but mark the vari
ous points of uttack, retrenchment, and
political manotiver, upon the great buttle
field of slavery and freedom that the an
nexation of Texas wns procured by the pro-
bfavery, or Democratic party as a means of
extending slavery, and strengthening the
slave breeding power. This is too evident
to be questioned, from the general commo
tion throughout the South in anticipation
of the gluriott) impulse which slavery wns
to receive on the consummation of the proj
cct, and from the declarations of Southern
statesmen. Tiny also know that the Mis
souri Compromise, that compromise almost
sacred for the pence anil quiet it secured to
the American people, ' that healing bnhn to
the wounds of sectionalism was not burst
up by tho Democratic party because of its
unconstitutionality, ns alleged, but that
slavery might be extended thut popular
sovereignty was not seized upon nnd pro
claimed to admiring millions by the Demo
cratic party because of its constitutionality
or justice, but that the Missouri Compro
mise might be displaced and slavery u tend
ed ly Democratic rates that pi'j iilar sov
ereignty was not finally repudiated by the
Administration because it was discovered
to be unjust, and the opinion proclaimed
that slaves arc not 'people' but 'projicrty'
because such a position is constitutional or
humane, but becauso popular sovereignty
proved to be a poor subterfuge for the ex
tension of slavery, and the Cat of the Su
preme Court would establish the Southern
institution, coextensive with the Coastitu
tlon. Yet, in view of all these faet',un
overwhelming majwity of the propte of this
State have voted to restrict slavery, have
refused to srrjiportthc National Democratic
parti of this country, and still call them
selves Democrats. And will thev nt r.ist in

In 1830 tho county was taxed for build
ing tho Courthouse ut Sand Ridge. ' The
contract for building the house was let to t
prominent citizen of the county. The fol
lowing year the county scut was relocated
ut Album', ufter which the Commissioner!
gjttlcd with the contractor ami paiillii
between threo oml four hundred dollars lo
throw up the contract, after which a Dcu
ocrutlc officer 'of the county informed a res
ponsible citizen that there then remained la
tho treasury a surplus of nine thousand dol
lars. Some time ufter this conversation th
said responsible citizen, interrogating an Im
portant office-holder of the Democratic par
ty where the Courthouse tax was, received
the unwelcome reply that it never was ia
the treasury. Now, this Courthouse tax
was colht-tcd, as scores of tax-payers full
well know, and in addition to this, our an
nual tax has been constantly increased to
meet our county and Territorial expenses.
Till better informed, we nre left to draw
the unwelcome inference thai most or all of
this money was paid over to Mr. Delazan
Smith, to defray his traveling expenses mil
render him ull necessary aid in canvassing
the Territory from time to time, to sustain
the Pcsuocrutlc purty in Oregon. Again
I nsk the County Commissioner, Clerk, antf
Treasurer for IS57 to shed so much light
oi this subject that my mind and that of
the public may become so fur d'sul.used -thut
private) ami public confidence may b'
restored. Unless tfirse county officers can
give myself und the public satisfaction oa
these enquiries by producing the statistics,,
will vouched for, I feel mvsclf tound to1
make further investigations. .

and delinquent subscribers, annoved us
more thau onr fruitless researches after the
liest method of killing bed-bugs. These ver
min seem to be indigenous or spontaneous
productions of this country, and need no
acclimating to bring them to the highest
perfection to which the mot fastidious eon-
noisn-ur of Imgology would desire to bring
a ' siecimeii' that would take the premium
at the world's fair. An Oregon bed-bn
can find more crevices into which to crawl,
come out of his lodgings oftener to take a
bite, cut more capers, bite deeper, Increase
faster, and smell louder when crushed than
any of tho species wo have ever rend of in
the huge volumes that contaiu the research

entomologists. Hi wit and sagacity are

would advocate polygamy, monkery, or ride
on the car of Juggernaut over tho necks of
deluded millions for the sake of popularity,
office, power, nnd spoils. The day is not
iar aisiant, and I hail its coming ns the
dawning of a new nnd glorious era upon
this Republic, when every Democrat will
De known, and know himself to be in heart,
a slave driver, and every Republican the
enemy of despotism and the friend of human
