may bo termed tho coercive portion or his

Seven powerful States had seceded from

with a depleted tren: nry, the nalionul credit
seriously impaired, the army and navy de
moralized, and the various arsenals denu
ded or their niiiis, which had been carried
South for the benefit of tho secedors.
However anvil !u might d.siro to adminis
ter llio laws lie had sworn to execute, his
hands were completely tied, und his posi
tion was the nioro diliiciilt from thu fact
that the Southern envoys, tho border Slates,
uud Iho cities of tho Northern, wero daily
seeking from him n declaration of Ids poli
cy. Kvidcnco is slowly forthcoming that
ho has displayed a great amount of energy
sineo he assumed tho reins of power, but in
so quiet aud unostentatious a manner that
no one has been able to obtain a duo to
his intentions. TIht mystery In which ho
shrouded his designs ho was successful in
imposing upon tho various ofiicern or llie
Government, und the public has been com
pelled to satisfy its curiosity with tho con
tradictory reports ol irresponsible newspa-K-r

Tor weeks past has assured us Unit Fort
Sumter was to bo evacuated, and yet wo
are forced to conclude, from the present as
pect of allairs, that 110 such evacuation was
at nnv time entertained by the Cabinet.
The nuuk is now king thrown cfi", having
mnilo all necessary preparation, and ma
neuvered the South into commencing IhCni

Tin: Nl. Peucb Mines. W. H. Gray,
formerly of Astoria, aud lato of Fnitish
Columbia, called on us this wcik, on his
return from Clearwater, having left there
last Saturday. Whilst there ho saw sixty
California miners disembark, shoulder their
blankets, and strike for tlio mines. Mr.
G ray's opinion of tlio new mines may be
summed up in a few words thus: There is
money in the Ncz Perec mines, nnd no mis
take and plenty of it. Tho only differ
ence between tho California mines, the
Hritish Columbia mines, and llio Ncz
Perce mines, is just this In California,
you can mine nine months in llio year; in
llritish Columbia three months; mid in the
Ncz Perce, six mouths. Ho states this
after an experience of four months iu Cali
fornia nnd three years in llritish Columbia,
nnd a knowlcdgo of the country cast of tho
Cascades.
Tho Mountaineer IcarilS that some 2000
persons are now in the mines, nnd that one
company of eight men on Miotics' Creek
uro taking out upwards of $2,000 11 week.
Pi:i.iNo,n:NCY. For a few mouths past,
our citizens havo been subjected to, tho in
convenience of having a great deal of mail
matter intended for them pass by this of
fice, mid go to Portland, from whence wo
would receive it herb next day. Last
Tuesday week nearly every thing was car
ried to Portland, including the Statesman
nml Democrat, and all tho California pa
pers. Wo have been repeatedly informed
by the postmaster hero that this is all ow
ing to tlio neglect of tho P. M. nt Salem,
who, in the cases wo speak of, places the
matter in tiio Portland sack, which is not
opened at this ofiice. We hope the Salem
postmaster, if he is in fault, will bo a little
more careful in future.
The Mountains Oten. G. M. Glover,
Ksq., of Marion, who has lately como into
the valley from the east of the mountains,
informs us that tho old emigrant route
through tho Cascades is now open for cat
tle, teams, kc, and that there is no diffi
culty in passing through. There is no
snow of any consequence. The Sandy was
running, but would be down in a few days.
Commissioned. Mr. Win. L. Adams
received his commission as Collector at
Astoria, by last mail, filed bonds in the

Vatna UrmitanlraiUa at NfrUy.
On Saturday, Juno S, Ihc citizens in llie
vicinity of ll'K-k Crcik nsseuihlcd ot
Needy P. O. to raise a pole, hist the na
tional colors, nnd make other (lunonslra
tions, to show their unalterable attachment
to tho Union.
At an early hour, Ihc people commenced
gathering iu from every direction, in pro
cessions of wagons, carriages, and persons
on horseback, with banners Hying, and
oilier demonstrations of patriotism. The
polo was raised by tea o'clock, and by 12
iklmiit t00 people hud assembled, when a
proecssiou was formed at J. S. Vinson's
store, under tho direction of Jos. Mugone,
tho marshal of the day, and A. Williams,
assistant. Tho procession, preceded by the
Aurora Brass Bund, marched a shoit dis
tance, returning to tho speaker's stand, nl
the foot of tho flag pole, when, by rnpiesl,
.Messrs. J. Killin, J. Kiser, sen., A. Jack
sou, and II. Gordon, Tour of the oldest
gentlemen present, took hold or tho lopes
uud drew the flag up to its place, when tho
enthusiasm of tho multitude burst forth in
loud und prolonged cheers, and the Rand
struck up the soul-stirring strains of "The
Slar-Spunglcd Vanner."
The meeting was then formally organ
ized by electing Judge J. W. Grim presi
dent, Samuel Allen vice do., nml Isaac W.
Garrett scc'y. Tho following-named gen
tlemen were called out by tho crowd, each
of whom responded in a short patriotic
speech, viz: Judge Grim, AV. A. Slink
weather, J. D. Loccy, W. C. Johnson,
Suin'l Allen, J. D. Garrett, T. II. Brents,
S. A Morcland, J. S. Vinson, Win. Elliott,
Dr. Furnsworth, Dr. Cole, Isnae W. Gar
rett, and Jos. Mugone. Tho crowd testi
fied their approval of tho sentiments ex
pressed by tho speakers, by loud cheers.
A letter was read from Hon. Goo. Rccs,
expressing entiro approval of the objects of
tho meeting also a number of sentiments
and toast.-, each of which was applauded
to tho echo. Tho marshal then dismissed
llio crowd, which gavo thrco times three
hearty cheers for tho glorious Star-Spar.-gled
Banner, and with cheers for tho Ger
man Band, for the ladies, for the ofliccrs of
the day, and for everything else worthy of
approval, dispersed. During tho day uot
nn unpleasant sccno took place, to disturb
tho general good feeling. Perfect order
prevailed, and nearly every one present
participated iu somo manner in the demon
stration. Tho German Brass Band of
Aurora added tho charms of music to the
occasion. -No disunionists were present.
All were for the Union. Tarty spirit and
party predilections wero all lost in the 0110
great, paramount idea or maintaining tho
Union.
37 Wo leuni that the Union demon
stration at Corvallis on Tuesday last was a
magnificent oiTair, from 3,000 to 5,000
persons being present. The day was pleas
aut, notwithstanding tho heavy rain of the
night previous.
