OJLXQOJf CITY I SATURDAY, FEBRUAUV 18, 1800, MltUkea Mr. Stewart, a sectional member of Con iress, stated In t sjieech, Dec. 12, 1859, that In caw the Republican elected Pres ident fn I860, California and Oregon would join the South In diking steps to diwolre the Union. We presume Jo Iane told Stewart io. Lane hat shown himself the mint smile tool of the disunion laiuaii dcri that miarejireirf'iiU anjr free State in Congress. Ho packed a challenge for Hull Ilrooks to Hurling he aiwiat 1 In Washington City, we are told, with none lut Southera Democrat! and he told ua at LafaycHo last spring with bit own mouth that it bad auld out the Democracy of Or rgon "or ten yari" to the South, on con dition that the South should voto for the admission of Oregon into the Union. Of course, if the South goes out of the Union. Oregon la boaml by Jo Lane's 4 bill of (tale' to go with her, aud serve her fur Un yean, Xow we haven't the least objection to Jo Lanc'a giving a bill of vale of Ilibben, or even of Delusion, but when disunion trai tor come here claiming Oregon under Lane'i bill of eale, we will turn them over Debi'ion and Slater under the 'fugitive alare law. If they don't leave then, we will bang them higher than Old Drown. Oar Paataatitr.

I hey nave both lost money sent by mail, and the medium' is out of pocket several nice little sums sent with names of ' new subscribers.' Delusion thinks a 'secret muil agent' would be of advantage. Now this idea of having honest post- niastrra under a Democratic dynasty, which appoints men to office merely for dirty work done for the party, and not with any refer ence to qualifications, Is all a delusion. As long as it ' pays why not expect Demo cratic olhcinle to steal money? We advise De'usion not to be In a hurry to InaVurate a system or secret espionngc to detect Dom ocrutie villuiny. The first Republican ad .minihtrntion will cure the evil by turning evrry driven nigyer out of pfice in Ore;on, and putting honest men in their pluc 's. We want uo office, but for the good of the country we should like to be the Postal Agent for a few weeks, just to show the sectional fanatics whut might be dono by putting a national Republican at the helni. We assure Delusion tint t if we art appoint ed, we will muko the contruetois and post masters delirer all the mail in season, or cat tho whole or it wrapping-paper, twine, 'bags, locks, chains, and Delusion's 'mo- fdiuuis.' to be represented seventeen days iu the U. txUii "" t,,dur"- The one mast givo wuy Senate Lr L i n I)ulumn .!... .i .!. lruBO " me ouicr uecome uni- 4 - , wmmtt m real character according to bis own show ing?

Ho has no moro political sagacity than a goose He is sure to break down any party he is connected with, and we trust he will l.e ept where ho is, for be is now doins more to build up the Republican party thun any man in it.

Q. Did lie intimate the iirorcss bv which they will ultimately become so? A. Ho did.

A si. i s: As I have been a careful and constant reader of the Argus for lev eral months past, and seeing no correspon dence Irom the " Sunny South," I take upon myself the responsibility of dropping few items of truth and note, which are fully worth the tn-rusul of your many reudcrs, The nio4 glaring thing that presents itself to my notice is the rich discoveries of quartz mines in this vicinity within the last three months, which are, no doubt, the richest quartz specimens ever discovered on the coast, and I might with truth say the most siirpnuingly and extensively rich ever discovered on the globe. Of these discoveries, I will mention first one on the left band fork of Jackson Creek, ucur Fur mer's Flut, which was discovered by Clias, Hicks, near two months since, aud bss proven so fur as worked, to be vastly rich Suid Hicks has tuken out about $3,000 by the slow processor a bund-uiortnr, since he made the first discovery, aud is now going down on the lesd. He finds it to be good paying quartz as he gets down, but not so good as it wss on the surface. There is an excitement In our midst at this time, of a great quartz discovery on Rogue river, near a place known as Big Bar, ono mile above Col. T'Vault's farm, the news of which spreads like fire to dry grass, j-.vcry rutin who coula pos ibly leave bis business bus gone to see mid get few specimens. To-day the news came into town that they bad found it much rich er than ever. By the way, I wilt snr that I have been down on a propecting tour in that vicinity, nd just returned yesterday. I was in coin any with four brother miners. We vis ited the above mentioned quartz lead, und found it to be fully as good as represented, and one of the most singular places ever discovered since man enmo iuto cxistnnco. ii is sitimieu near me summit or a very high mountain, which runs np similar in shape to a poorly put np liny cock. They find a good many pieces of quartz, promis cuously scuttcrcd along the side of a small gulch, which are exceedingly rich. They dig the surface of the earth to the depth of rrcm two to four feet and Bud loose quartz in abundance, which is extensively impreg nated with gold month of Okinagiu, ia vorlously estimated at from 75, to 125 uiilca; thence to Sum! kameen, 80 miles. The mines are near the Northern boundary lino. In conclusion, if I were unemployed, I should go to the mines; but I would not advise any one to leave a bird In baud, if it is worth holding ou to, to chusa a bird in the bush. Thomp son & Co. are going to build a new, and lurger boat, for this route. I believe the contract has been given. In baste, yours, L. Whit. Dei Chub i, Feb. 2nd, I860. T rib ale af IUfct.

The Union thinks it's in ' good keeping with the practices of the rascals who sell ' woodou nutmegs.' Wo think, with tho Union, tbut tho theft can not be too severely condemned. The vil luiii that would steal one or Slater's edito rinls, would steal a covered button from the worn-out cout-Qaji of a blind nigger. The crime is aggra voted by the tale of these ed itorials ufter the theft. Slater is right in snying that the act is in good keeping with the selliug of ' wooden nutmegs.' The only palliutiou we can see to such au act as stealing and selling editorials from the Un ion, or Delusion's ' medium,' is the nccora panying the papers containing them with wooden nutmegs.'
