'Ax Incident of 1812. In a speech de
livered at Newport, Judge Conrad, of Phil
adelphia, in answer to a charge of coward
ice made against Gen. Scott, produced a
deetment which was sworn to a few years
since, as part of the evidence of a soldier
t Lundy's Lane, who stated in his affida
vit that Gen. Scott, after he was wounded,
fode to where the soldier was stationed,
"his neck, breast, end arms in a gore of
blood, which ran down his leg and trickled
from hig boot opon the gronnd," and said
the commander of the line: " I nm
wonnded and very weak: I want one of
joar yoong men to get up behind me and
hold me on my horse." A young man
hrew down bis musket, and at one spring
"ped opon the horse, and they swiftly
SHped awsy to the main body of the
tr"y. The excitement prodnced hy read
og the document was tremendous. Hnn
'feds rose on their feet and gave most
Thement cheers, that it was some min

OREGON CITY, OREGON, JUNE 29, 18(U.
Th 'm of July.
" Independence Duy" Inn for a lifetime
been our great National festival; but this
year It will havo a solemnity of emphasis,
and will bo celebrated with a fervor of pa
triotic enthusiasm, such os has ucver yet
been known.
Wu suggest that, In every city nnd coun
ty where treaxou does not forbid aud forci
bly prevent It, whether In the North or
the South, the Knit or tho West, tho en
tire imputation who are resolved to stnud
by the Union and live and die under the
Stars and Stripes, shall be gathered for
such a celebration as our fathers lored, and
that, In addition to the usual exercises, the
old Flag shall bo raised with all the honors,
a patriotic contribution taken up for the
benefit of our citizen soldiery and their
needy families the people marching by
the collectors in procession, aud every child
who can eivo no more throwing in a half
dime and that wo then gather around the
Flag and have tho oath of fidelity to tho
Constitution and I'uion solemnly admin
istered and reverently taken by the whole
congregation. If there bo other observ
ances better calculated to Impress on tho
general mind tho greatness of the peril
which now hangs ever me country, anu
tho magnitude of Ihe sacrifices required to
meet and overcome that peril, let these be
added or substituted; but let there boa
celebration at every county-seat, such as
has not been witnessed for forty years and i
may never again be. Let tho preparations
bo fitly :..d seasonably made, and the
Fourth of July, 1801, will bo remembered
with patriotic affection and pride for the
next half-century. A'. Y. Tribune,
86Tho Albany Alia and Argui, the
leading Democratic organ of New York,
seems to understand that war Is no time
for puling seutimcntalism. It talks In
this manly and resolute way about the
property of the South:
" Let us not be misunderstood as at all
tender about the property of our enemies
at the South, now wnging war upon us.
Iu the course of this conlliet it will lie our
duty to assail them in property as in per
son; to capture their ships nnd cargoes,
quarter troops upon them, nnd batter
down their cities if need be, to reach their
citadels. We should be no more tender
of their property in this sense, than of
their persons; and stnvo property musi
tnke its chances with the rest."
That is to say, war Is no child's piny;
nnd rebels who defy the authority and dare
the vengeance or tho government, Incur a
terrible risk. We nro glad to record this
declaration or d political opponent cf the
Administration, in favor of a vigorous pros
ecution of tho war.
A Traitor's Si'KEcn. On tho night
following the evacuation of Ft. Sumter,
Gov. Pickens, of South Carolina, mndo a
pcccli to his fellow-traitors, in which he
suid;
"Wo liavo defeated twenty millious,
aud we linve mndo the proud ting of the
Stars nnd Stripes lower, that never was
lowered before to any nation on this earth.
We have lowered it in humility before the
Pulmetto nnd tho Confederate flags, and
wo havo compelled them to raise by their
side tho white flag, and ask for an honora
ble surrender. Wo have humbled the
fln-r of tlio United States, and as long as I
havo tho honor to preside rs your Chief
Magistrate, so help mo Uoil, tnero is no
nower on this earth shall ever lower from
thut fortress theso flags, unless they be
lowered and trailed In n sea of blood. I
ran here snv to vou. it is tho first timo in
ilm history of this country, that the Stars
nml Strines havo been humbled. It has
triumphed for seventy yenrs, but to-day,
nn tlio 13th of April, it has been humbled,
and humbled beforo the glorious little State
of South Carolina."
" Let the 13i.ow be Qiick and Hard!'
The Delaware State Journal and Ga
zctte gives this counsel, which, coming from
a slave State, is peculiarly emphatic:
" Let the blow, ns it must be terrible,
be therefore quick, hard, decisive. Let
there be no halting nt the capital; no halt
ing nt Richmond: no halting at tnaricston;
no halting nt Montgomery longer than to
hang the traitors who huve plotted treason
there; nnd no halting even at the cxtrcmest
southern const of the Union, until freedom's
troops shall have planted freedom's starry
flag upon every battlement and every fort
in the rebel domain. They have invited
war, nnd war let it be. ' Let tho Govern
ment show them that having sown the
wind, they mnst of necessity reap the
whirlwind. Let them learn how tcrriblo is
the avenging spirit of liberty, outraged and
in -ultcd as it lias been by traitors."
POLICY OF THE GoVERNJIK.VT. R. N.
HiDsox, formerly editor of the Terre
Haute Express, writes as follows from
Washington to that paper:
" The energy ol this Government will
never cease until this rebellion is strangled,
its leaders bung, and nil the property iu
rim hnmls of traitors re taken. To be a

A luiis inado in the llouso of Uepresenta
lives speech on apprehended war with i
Great Britain and with Mexico, whereof
the following extract
will now bo read
with lively interest:
I said that, as far as I could understand
the resolutions projiosed by the gentleman
from Ohio fMr. Giddinesl, there were
tout of them for which I was ready to .
i i.!.. i. i .... i
vote, anu suiiie which i nmn iuio ngmiiBi,
and I will now tell this House, my constit
uents, nnd the world of mankind that tlio
resolution against which I would have vot
ed was that in which ho declares that what
are called the Slave States have the exclu
sive right of consultation on the subject of
Slavery, lor that resolution i never
would vote; because I believe that It is not
just, and does not contain constitutional
doctrine. I believe that so long us the
Slave States are able to sustain their Insti
tution without going abroad, or railing
upou other parts of tho Union to aid them
or to act on the subject, so long I will con
sent never to interfere. Hut if they come to
tho Free States aud say to them you must
help us to keep down our slaves, you must
aid us in an insurrection auc a civil war,
then I say that with that call cornea a full
ai.'d plenary power to this House and to
the Senate over the whole subject. It is
a war power; and when your country is
actually In war, whether it be a war of in
vasion or a war of insurrection, Congress
has power to carry on the war, and mnst
carry It on according to the laws of war,
and by tho lnws of war on Invaded country
has all Its laws and municipal institutions
swept by tho board, nnd martial law takes
the place or them. This power In Con
gress has perhaps never been culled into
exercise under tho present Constitution or
the United States. ISut when the laws or
war aro In force, what, I onk, is ono of
those laws? It Is this: that when n conn-
trv is invaded, and two hostile armies are
set In mnrtial array, fi commander qf
both armies hate over to emancijxite all
the slave in the tnvaded territory. .Nor
is tills a mere theoretic statement. Ihe
historr of South America shows that tho
doctrine has been carried Into practical ex
ecution within the lost thirty years. Slav
ery was abolished in Columbia, first by the
Spanish Ucn. .uoniio, ana soconuiy y me
American Gen. llolivar. It was abolished
by virtno or a military command given nt
the head of tho army, 'and its abolition con
tinues to be law to this day. It was abol
ished by the laws of war, and not by muni
cipal enactments. Thejiower was exercis
ed by military commanders, nnder instruc
tions, or course, from their respective gov
ernments. Congress is now nbout passing
a grant to refund to Gen. Jnckson the
amount of a certain fine imposed upon him
by a Judge under tlio laws of the btate ot
Louisiana, ion nro going to reiunn nira
the monev with interest; and this you are
going to do because tho Imposition of the
lino was unjust. Anu wny uiijusw be
cause Gen. Jackson was acting under tho
lnws of war. nnd because tho moment you
place a militnry commnndcr In a district
which is the theater of war, tho laws of
war apply to that district. I have a cor
respondence between Gen. Jackson and
the Governor of Georcin. during tho Semi
nole camnaimi. in which Gen. Jnckson as
serts the nrinciplo that he, ns Governor of
r.. . ..!.! I.f n t-..L.,..'.N tnil.'ln.
a state wuuin iiir uen. KHmj
rv division, had no richt to irivo a militnry
order while ho (Gen. Jackson) was in the
field. Tho Governor contested tho power
of Gen. Jackson, nnd said njl he could for
Stute ritrhts: but Gen. Jackson had given
en order, and that order was carried into
effect, while tho order of the Governor
wns suppressed. Gen. Juckson hud the
riirlit of tho fiucstion.
I might furnish a thousand proofs to
show that tho pretensions of gentlemen to
tlio sanctity oi ineir municipal iiisiiiuuunn,
under a state of actual invasion and octunl
wnr. whether servile, civil, or foreign, are
nhollv nrifonndcd. and that tho laws of
wnr do. in all such cases, tnke tho prece
dence. I lay this down ns tho law or na
tions. I say that the military auinoruy
tnkes. for tho time, the plnco of all muinci
pnl institutions, Slavery among the rest.
Under that state or things, so for from its
lininrr true that tho States whero Slavery
exists havo the exclusive management or
tlin stitiieet. nof onlu the Preident of the
United Stale, but Ihe commander of the
army, ha the power to order the universal
mancipation of the slaves.
C A gentleman whoso attention lias
been called to the war or the American
Revolution by tho war-like events or the
present day, gays that, in examiuing the
history or the struggle, he found that du
ring its continnancc, South Carolina lost
twelve million dollars1 worth of slave.
They were s'duccd from obedience to their
masters, by the British, and fled to the
Cherokee country, the then Spanish prov
ince or Florida, and to the West Indies.
H South Carolina lost
twelve millions or,
slave projierty during the Revolution, when
her slaves were so few in number, who can
itell how many she will lose In the approach

Gek. Scott axd nt Fuss. The
Washington correspondent of Thnndej'f
Philadelphia Prest anysj
"Gen. Scott Is about to rvmodd tlie
United States army upon the French y'
tern, so as to give it more ffirli nry and
icrfectlon. The old hero wnrkit with as
tontsliing zeal, and hi mind niM-nitc a ac
tively at many i man at filly-live. It I un
doubted that he contemplate a long cam'
palgn, that Washington Is to be the base
uf operations, that a largo force will be
kept permanently stationed here, and that
all demonstration In support of the loyal
men lu the fcoutn, and In lurtiu ruiice of iner
determination to retake stolen property,
will move Irom tins point, fcmiio complaiuta
are mado because an expedition has not al
ready been sent Into A irginla for the par
pose of capturing Richmond; but I astdtf
posed to repose my trust entirely upon the
experience and patriotism of Gen. Scott.
He is heartily sustuined by the President
and Messrs. Chase, Cameron, Seward, and
the rest of the Cabinet, although It I not
doubted that Postiuustcr-General Jndgt
Blair favor a more extreme aud aggressivr
policy."
a" The free navigation of the Missis
sippi river Is of iiumenso value to the State
bordering npou it water. It I said that
there are not lesa than sixteen hundred
stcnmboats running upon that mighty river
and it tributaries, the aggregate value be
ing sixty million of dollar. This great
river drains an area of twelve hundred
thousand square miles, washes the shore of
thirteen States, aud from the source of the
Missouri Is four thousand five hundred1
miles long, the average depth being fifty
feet, and It width over half a mile. Mil
lions of people, hundreds of citiea and
towns, nnd vast wealth and industry throng
iu mighty valley. It I a -nation' high
waythe pathway of empire, the most
prodigious chain of luland navigation in the
known world.
Ft.onioA Raisino tiir Wind. Florida
I obliged already to sell off her land to
provido rum and rations for the few vaga'
bond troops that she keeps In the field to
watch Ft. Pickens. Sho ha Jnst sold
half a million acres of land to some New
Orleans speculators, at 2 rent an acre.
iVt this rate the salo of the whole territory
will not keep her drunken ragamnfDn
army In whiskey more thnn six months,
What then? Her soldiers can do nothing
when the grop stops. Bring back Billy
Bowlegs, with a hair down warriors and
tho delirinm tremens, and Florida will bf
as quiet as a lamb.
No More Deots to ur Paid. A pro
clamation from Gov. Brown, of Georgia
forbids citizens of that State from paying
any debts duo to Northern creditors. The
Governor " invites citizens who are Indebt
ed" to the Northern Stntcs to Invest their
spnrc cash In Georgia bank stock, or still
better, to "perform a patriotic duty" bf
giving it to the Southern Confederacy for'
wnr purposes, He further forbid the
protest or notes by nny Georgia books.

.ens of Detroit Intely, In n patriotic speech
iu the course of which ho suid:
" There is but one path for every trail
man to travel, nnd that is broad aud plain.
It will conduct ns, not without trials and
sufferings, to penco nnd to the restoration
or the Union. Ho who is not for his coun

its efforts to bring this unhappy civil war
to a speedy and satisfactory conclusion try
the restoration, in its integrity, of that
grcnt charter of freedom bequeathed to" os
by Washington nud his compatriots."
Comparative Skciritv. It is very sug
gestive or the comparative for life and prop
erty enjoyed under tho Washington and
Montgomery Governments, that while we
hear of largo numbers fleeing to the North
we hear or no citizens seeking refuge In the
seceding States. A recent letter from
New York says tlmt the wife or Jeff. Davis
is now sojourning at Snugtis, in Massa
chusetts, and thut the wife of Beauregard
is residing at Dye House rillngo In Lynn.
BROwsi.owisu.-The parson ii as savage
as ever. He writes; " Tlie mustering Into
Virginia of twenty thousand volunteer from
the Southern Stutcs, and the joining of
them there by thirty thousand more pluinly
indicate that' conflict is close Rt hand.
Tbo blow when made, will lie terrible, hard
and decisive. Nor will it terminnto nt
tho capital; Richmond will feil it; Norfolk
will perish, and Clmrhston will crumble
to ruins, while tho stars and stripes will
again be rnn up at Ft. Pnmtcr. Thi is
the courso thi war will take, as the hostile,
arms march npon Montgomery!"
