Wecdae aae Hlavcry V twae, Tho fmartlul observer, flowing these antagonistic and aggressive principles, tliu North ond in Ilia South, Maratd they arc but by a purely Imaginary line, Instead of tclnf astonished at tli present poturo of circumstances, can ouly be sur prised tlmt tlio conflict bai not sooner been nreciiiitutcd. Peace and Harmony arc the twin daughters of Freedom, and uncx amplcd growth and prosticrity the result of univenial liberty. Arts and sciences abound, Commerce sends her white-winged messcn gcrs over every distant sen, and Mnnufuc- tares plant the seeds of iudustry and wealth in the bosom of every volley. School' houses ond churches spring up In each coin inunity throughout tho lund, and free thought frco speech is a common inheri tance. TroTcrso New York, Pennsylvania or other bo less giant members of the American Union further West, and, con tetuplating tho Immensity of their progress, imagine the boundlessness of their future Freedom, unaided by governmental inllu ence or patronage, further titan the meager permission to subdue from the empire of savage beasts, and still more savage men, a home Id the mighty Western wilderness, spanned the great desert uud reproduced along the Pacific slope a type of Eastern civilization. It is oar prido and glory, that, living as we do under tho freest form of government that the world has ever seen, our national growth and pro gress is grander than anything recorded on the pages of history. ., Hut what a change comes over tho spir it of our drcaml Tho ship of State, built by the labors aud contributions of Wash iugton, and the long procession of our Pa triot sires, is threatened by a tcrribli storm. A black cloud, at first no bigger than a man's hand, has sprung up in the everglades of the South, and, rolling north war. hides ono after another of tho stars on olir American Ilunncr, and threatens to Mot out every star of hope hi American Destiny. . Absolutism was recognized as uii inherent principle in soma of tho State Uovcrnmcuts. Its daughters arc Injustice and Oppression; its consequences, anarchy and war. Impeded in the rnco of prosper ity by her peculiar institution, tho South, in wealth and population, in commerco mid manufactures, is far behind her more fortu nate sister of tho North. Envy and jeal ousy havo crown into hatred, until, in the impotenry of their anger, our National Manner has been torn star from star, aud trampled under traitorous feet. . Strange to tell, hero uud tlicre, even in tho North, are found those who upprovo and encour age the mad scheme of secession. These, however, aro generally disappointed office seekers or their satellites, who viper like sting the bosom that lias cherished them. In regard to the abstract right of n Re publican Government to sustain itself, if it havo tho power, there can be no question. Years ago, Henry Clay, himself a South ern man, snid "Tho great principle that lies at the foundation of all free govern ments, Is, that tho majority must gov ern; from which there is or can bo no ap peal but to tho sword. That majority ought to govern wisely, equitably, moder ately, and constitutionally, but govern it mutt subject only to that terrible appeal. If over ono or several States, being a min ority, can, by menacing a dissolution oi tho Union, succeed in forcing an abandon ment of great measures deemed essential to tho interests mid prosjwrity of tho whole, tho Union from that moment is practically gone. It may linger on in form and name, but its vital spirit has fled forever. Enter taintng these delibcrato opinions, I would entreat tho patriotic people of tho South to pause solemnly pause ami contem plate tho frightful precipice that lies direct ly before them. To retreat may bo pain ful and mortifyii'g to their gallantry and pride, but it is to retreat to tho Union, and to safety; to advance, is to rush on certain and inevitable disgrace and destruc tion," That Hiut has been readied, that appeal has been taken. The extreme South as. her leaders threatened to do, be fore tho election, if they were not permit ted to havo their own .way, ha been led and driven into revolt ond rebellion, not only threatening, but attempting by vio lent hand to destroy tho Union. ISut the people have spoken, and not only those whoctated Lincoln, but all true patriots, rcHKiud in thunder tones, " The Union must, and shall be preserved." For bcaram-o was iractifed until it ceased to le a virtue, and mow, that moral tuasion lias foiled, a little wholesome outside pres sure is to be applied. Within a few weeks quarter of a miltion of men have left their peaceful vocations, gone into the tent ed field to battle for Liberty and Union, which tho immortal Webster well declared to be inseparable. For the result, no one can be doubtful, unless it be some one whoso wish is Cither to the thought, and who weuld see our country fall before her traitorous foe?. . OrsTr.srii i.r. We visited dysterville on Shoal Water Uay, W. T , last weak. It is distant from Astoria about forty miles; about half of this distance we made by water, dividing Uie rest of the Journey be tween a tramp on foot and a ride on bono- bock. The town contains twenty or thir ty bouses, several of which contain fomilics. The precinct numbers about thirty -five vo ters, twenty-two of which are pledged for Col. Wallace The oyster beds are all staked off Into claims, and Mattered hero and there are some two or three dozen boats of various shapes and dfraensions, used by tho citizens In carrying on their business. limes are dull here at present, owing to the fact that no oyster sloop bas been In of late from Kan Francisco, All are anxious ly waiting the arrival of a sloop expected sometime in July or Angust. Theso sloops carry away from twelve to fifteen hundred basketa (a bosket Is three pecks) of oys ters each, paying dollar per basket at Oystervillo. The oysters aro sold ot San Fruucisco at about four dollars a basket. Urucesport, another oyster town of about the same sizo as Oystcrville, is situated on tho North sido of the bay. During the oyster season, these are lively little places money is plenty, easily made, ond soon spent. Owing to tho discovery of an oys ter bed south of San Francisco, it is feared by somo that Shoul Water Day will lose tho California trade. During our stay at Oystcrville, wo were treated with an ample dish of oysters by our friend J. L. Stout, which were prepared in the best stylo of the art by his excellent wife. Left. The U. S. Ilcvcnuo Cutter Jo Lane, dipt. Chadwiek, which has been ly ing at Astoria for several years past, left the Custom House above Astoria last Tursdny, homeward bound, in obedience to orders from the Treasury Department bearing date March 3d, 1861. Tho Cut ter has been undergoing the most thorough repairs preparatory to a voyage around the Cape, and Is now a model of neatness and comfort. The courteous and gentlemanly bearing of her officers during a long resi dence among tho citizens of Clutsop coun ty, has so endeared tho people generally to them that it was with great regret they saw the Cutter leave. I lie order wlucb called her nway from us came from the Buchanan Administration, and is inexpli cable iion any other ground than an evil influence outside of any necessity in the caso. It is thought by many tlmt the or der was made In obedienco to tho wishes and demands of Jo Lane, who wisjied to vent his rago upon the people of Oregon in somo way, and at tho same time render us as powerless as possiblo in case of an in vasion by Jell Davis. Hopes oro enter tained that tho present Administration will clinngo her name, and order her back to duly at Astoria, by the timo alio reaches San Francisco. Fitou Coi.vim.k. Clms. W. Miller, Esq., of Colville, arrived nt Oregon City this week. Ho reports the Columbia River mines, in tho neighborhood of Colville, to bo under water, In consequence of the rise in tho river. Ho brought down $10,000 in dust, all of which was taken from these mines during tin winter. Only 30 or 40 miners were nt work there tho past season, most of whom havo gone over to the Nez Perco diggings, intending to return when tho waters shall havo subsided. Mr. Mil ler says mat tne I oiumiiia liivcr mines will average $7 a day to the hand, from tho middle of Angust to the middle of May. ftjy The V. S. Treasury Department having ordered tho re lighting of the Light House on Ioke's Point, nt tho entrance of Shoal Water Ray, the Superintendent of Lights for tho Oregon District has appoint ed It. H. Espy as keeper, witli a salary ol $S00, George Hunter, ns assistant keeper, with a snlnry of $(500, per annum: the keeper to tako immediate possession of the premises, but tho suhiry to begin at the duto of re-IL'litina the lantern.

The ferry will be free, and tho amplest accommodation af forded. Tin Mines. The news from the miues is very encouraging. Mr. Shively, of As toria, who left for the mines about the mid dle of last month, writes back that ho had already dug a hundred dollars and would soon be able to send his family all the gold they want. W Jos. M. Partlow writes us from Pisasta River, Wcnochec, Juno 18. He had taken out $43,18 in right days, du ring tho high water, and was in high hopes of doing better when the water fell. He has dirt enough to keep him sluicing for two years. Nu Perck Mines. Some $15,000 was brought down from the mines on Monday last, and recent letters represent the pros pert fat orablc for rich digiinjr Movements i TflK Wv.KT.-It Is the licy of Jeff Davis to draw the Federal forces farther South, where the inconveniences oft deadly climate and change of fare would be added to their difficulties, bat this plan will be defeated by (Jen. Scott, who is will la formed of everything that transpires lu the camp of the rebels. Virginia will he so cared to the Union, and it is believed that the Disuuion sontiinent of the South influ enced by the growing feeling In favor of the Union along the JJorUer, will tueo speedily dio out. The apprehended move ment involving so attack from Tennessee upon Kentucky and the Northwest was provided for by the concentration of 1 0,000 men at Cairo, and more arriving. From that point au advance down the river will soon be made, with the view of attacking Memphis, which is a stronghold of the se cessionists. Illinois has now eighteen full reg'meuts of volunteers accepted for tho war, including tho Hecker German Regl incuts of volanteers accepted for tho war, Including the Hecker German Regiment, tho Irish Brigade and Col. Scott's Zouaves. It is supposed that the movement from Cairo may be entrusted to Gen. Fremont, who, ssys a Washington correspondent of the New i ork timet ol May 3 1st, will bo placed In command of the Western division -of the army, which, Is to move down the Mississippi river. 1 deforce will go down In a flotilla of gun-boats. Part of It will land, forming an attacking party in tho rear of the fort or fortification, while the -tin-boaU will engage the same In front. His Instructions will be discretionary as to details, but positive as to the reossessiiig and occupying ol all territory now hckl by secession forces, all rebel cities and places of defense, and all appearances of offenso that may present themselves on that on ward march. Tlmt this will bo an Impor tant branch in grand movement contempla ted by the Government Is apparent, and it is also evident that to successfully carry ont such a comprehensive design will require all the Executive ability ami military gent- us which Fremont is popularly supposed to possets. Tns Union Forcks in Virginia. The trooiis whose movements have formed the subject of newspaper chronicle for the past few months are finding their appointed posts on entering upon the actual duties of military hie. ur these, 21, 000 oro under Gen. McDowell, whose headquarters are at Alexandra, with out posts extending on the route to Richmond as far as luirlnx, and a reserve of 22,000 was retained at Washington under Gen. Mansfield, and an other of 6,000 under Gen. Cadwaluder at Baltimore. At fortress Mouroo, Gen. Rutlor with 11,000 men was threatening Richmond from the South. 13,000 were advancing nnder Gen. McClelland from Ohio on tho West, with outposts extend ing as far as Philippi, thus threatening not only Richmond, but Hurper's Ferry, by n flank movement, i roin I'ennsylvnma on the Northwest Gen. Kleim was advancing with 10,000 men. This forms by a series of nuiii rably concerted movements a web from witch it will require a considerable amount of ingenuity for the revolutionists to c.vtr.cato themselves. The cry is no no longer " through Baltimore," but " Get out of tho wilderness!" The forces of tho secessionists are, menu while, not idle. It would be strange they wire, with so many Northern. Eus tern und Western bayonets pricking them, A hvo lobster lnms it dmleult to keep still In a pot ol boiling water. Jeff Davis said to bo embarrassed nt the formidable preparations of the Federal Government, and is contemplating n retrogado move ment, with the design of concentrating his forces ot somo point larthcr south; in which case tho speedy termination of tho campaign is not so certain. Ji'DdE Taney Gfttino Excited. The Capitol at Washington not having been burned about his cars, tho Judge is waxicg chivalrous. "Leo," of tho New York Timet, writes from Washington: "Tho in tention of Taney in issuing a writ of habeas corpus for tho prisoner retained by Gen Cadwalladcr at Baltimore, is to bring on a collision between the judicial and the milita ry departments of the Governmeut, and, if possible, to throw tho weight of tho judi ciary against the United States and in fa vor of tho rebels. Ho is at heart a rebel himself, for, on Saturday, when it was sup posed the re Ms were attacking the United States forces at Arlington, Judge Taney ex pressed the wish that ' the Virginians would wade up to their waists in Northern blood.' The animus of this exclamation will bi apparent to any one; and tho fact that Judgo Taney, old aud infirm as ho is, volunteered to go to Baltimore to issue writ in favor of a rebel, shows tho alacrity with which ho serves the cause of rebellion Battle at Piui.im. Tho Union men and the sereders have" met ot Philippi." On tho night of June 2d, two columns of troops from Gen. McClcilund's command left Grafton, Ohio, and after marching du ring the entire night, for about twenty miles through a drenching rain, surprised a camp of rebels two thousand strong, at Philippi, Va., and routed them, killing 150 and cap turing a large amount of arms, horses, mu nitions, provisions and camp equipage. Tho surprise was complete, and at our last advices, tho Federal troops were in hot nrrsuit of tho rebels, and it is quite prolm blo many prisoners will be taken. Great activity is presented at Fortress Monroe. Troops and ammunition are con stantly arriving, the garrison now amount ing to thirteen thousand men: and large bodies were moving into the interior, it was thought with the intention of making for Norfolk by a circuitous route. Up to Thursday evening not less than four hun dred and fifty slaves, including women and children, had fled into Gen. Butler's camp and they report that a general uprising of tho slave population was expected. 2V. 1'. It era ut. June lit. The editor of the Auburn Advertis er thus announces an " interesting- cveut" in his family in short, the birth of twins: M The county of Cayuga, according to the lute census, had So, i09 souls. We have received information of the most reliable nature, which authorises as to asssure the census marshal that bo may make tbo fig ures 55,711, and charge the same to the ccond ward. - --- nnaiu af r.awra t. .The Delaware Republican says; Im,U who is well informed as to the sent! meuU and feelings of the free colored and slave population of Charleston, whence she had just returned, states that the blacks are unanimous in the desire for insurrection, if there is the slightest chance of it being suecewfu . They all believe that Die army of the North is coming down to set tbein free. On the ulsntations there is so much annrt hension that the hoes, axes, aud a other Implements that aro likely to be mode available as weapons, aro locked up at night to prevent their being used by the by tho slaves. Sup;xMo Ireland, in her rebellion, had Issued letters or inaniuo agams; urunm commerce, and the Government of the Uuitcd States had indorsed and protected them, bv recognizing Ireland as a bellige rent would Knglund have assented to the justice and neutrality of such a courser asks the N. l. Timet. Mr. Fielding, one of the mon who was wounded by the discharge of tho gun, when MuJ. Anderson left Ft. Sumter and was left there until his recovery has now come North, having in his itossession a pass from Gen. Besuregard. lie has gone to Ft. Hamilton to join the rest of MuJ. Anderson's cor there, ana states that over three hundred men were killed at Ft. Moultrie. This Information we derive from one of the ministers now attending the Reformed Presbyterian Synod in this city, who met Fielding on the way. X. 1 . tribune, May 31. No less than sixty Regiments from New lork have been accepted by tho Gov eminent up to this time, uumlH-riiig In all some fifty thousand men. The Govern ment has also accepted several additional Rctrimcnts from Illinois, making a total from that State of eighteen thousand men, Fully ono hundred Regiments, In all, havo been accepted from the States of New 1 ork. Illinois and Indiana, whilo tho con tingenta from other States will swell the number to two hundred Regiments, or nearly two hundred thousand men. When the astounding fact becomes known, as it soon will to all the European Governments, that oi our immense army now iu the field, and those ready to be mustered, numbering hundreds of thou sands, a large proportion belong to the for eign element, it innst produce a great change in the minds of the pcoplo through out Euro. A distinguished foreigner now in Washington remarked only a day or two since, in conversation with a high functionary or tho Government, that fuel alone would do more to strengthen tho North with foreign Governments than anything that could occur. A member of the Seventh Regiment, says the N. Y..Post, in n letter to his fa ther, writes: 1 heard a gocxl anecdote of Gen. Scott yesterday. He was asked what he intended to do with Jefferson Da vis. In answer ho merely put up his open hand, and gradually closed his lingers till his hand was clinched. Ho could not have given a more expressive answer." Tho writer of this letter expresses tho opinion that tho war will bo short. He says " tho secessionists are getting alarmed, and be fore a week is over, they wilt bo hemmed in on all sides." That fifteen million loan of tho South ern Confederacy, for which so much money was said to havo been offered, still drags along. The Southern journals aro still calling npon tho people to come forward with their cash. As we shall receive no Southern mail after Saturday next, we will probably loso sight entirely of this great Southern loan. JItrald. The young Zouave, Francis A. Brow nell, who shot tho assassin of Col Ells worth, visited 'Change yesterday after noon, and was presented with a handsome silver-mounted revolver. One of tho bro kers, in making tho presentation on behalf of the Board, snid in a neat speech that it was iutcuded as a testimonial of his gallant action. Brownell returned his thanks amidst much cheering. N. Y. Timet Muy 31f. A woman, named Catharine William?, was arrested and brought before Justice Quackcnbush on Wednesday morning, to answer for the expression of treasonable sentiments. Tho complainant wns Miss Ellen Dulton, residing at No. 154 Greene street. She stated that the prisoner enter ed her apartment, and proceeded to use vi olent and abusive languago against the country, and, being desired to leave, sciz od a costly silk American flag, which Miss Dulton had suspended from her window, tore it into shreds, and trampled them un der foot. Justice Quackcnbush committed tho accused for trial. iV. Y. Timet. -The Louitvilie Joui mil soys: " We don't know where Mr. Ethcridgo is at this time, but, wherever bo may may be, we would warn him of tho danger of his re turning to Tennessee. Wo could give him facts which would convinco him that he can return only at the imminent risk of his life. Instructions havo certainly been given by Gen. Pillow tlmt he shall be hung or shot, or otherwise killed at the first op portunity. He has been keenly watched for in all directions. Men were hunting for him last night in the cars at or near the Tennessee line. These things ore true. and their truth could easily be proved." Thomas A. Scott, Vice President ol the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, who has been managing tho military routes through Maryland to the Federal Capital during the last five weeks, will also have the arrangement of all Southern Railroads that will be taken possession of during the prosecution of the war by tho Government. He is here making preparations for the running of the Alexandria and Orange Railroad under Government auspices. Tho Washington correspondent of the New York Herald savs that ail the regu lar forces now stationed in tho Western Territories having been ordered east the volunteer corjis to be raised in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and New Mexico, will bo employed for the protection of the Overland Mail route. A correspondent of Cincinnati Giruite, writing from Cairo, and speaking of the arrival of exiled Union men from the South, says: "The Viientu again arrived last evening with a full load of the persecuted citizens of the Southern States. Sad sto ries they relate, the repetition of the ' wrongs exj ericnceJ by the many who have hailea with outburst of cutuusiasm as thev ,! In shfht of Cairo, the Stars and Kirli. which float iu beauty over t'oiuii Defiance. The large majority of the people are of course, destitute, their proiKXly ha v. lug been confiscated to the use ol the ion-r.-derate Government, One man said that Ihey even took the money that he had bout his person and they drove him from the country for not taking up arms against tho Governmeut. Cassias M. Clay writes lo tho London Timet on the American struggle. Ho briefly but decidedly says that tho rebel Slates can be suwiueu. 1 1 is noi pruw to subjugate them, but simply to put down rebellion. Knglund'i Interest is to stand by the Union. He inquires if England can afford to offend the United State, and concludes bv saving that England if the natural ally of the United States. Eohralm K. Smart, who ran last rear on the Democratic ticket for Gover nor of Maine, declines again to be candi didate, on the ground that be favors fur the present a suspension or all party con flicts. He wishes to disregard political organizations and stand solely upou tho issue of tho L nioii ot all me States. An address to President Lincoln lias been drawn up and signed by the leading men of Philadelphia, without distincton of party, expressing the firm determination to stand by tho Uuioo. Horace Kinney's nanio heads tho list of signatures, and it is understood that tho address was drafted by him. It is slated that one of tho Massachu setts soldiers, who was mortally wounded aud bled to death, in bis last strnggle, stood erect and raised bis right band to wards Heaven and exclaimed. " All hail to the Stars aud Stripes," and expired In stnntly. The Nashville Patriot gives utterance to the dominant despotism of Tennessee in the following words: "1-et every man then, vote for ' Separation,' or not vote at all." Aud yet these hypocritical despots have the faeo to tell us they are fighting for their freedom! Upwards of 20,000 men ore enrolled for the war and organized Into companies in Massachusetts. 0,000 of the number compose regular Regiments, and such as have not already gone into service ore now ready. Eight Regiments have been accepted from Philadelphia, and there aro yet near ly 10,000 men enrolled and orgauized into companies in that city. The Government has decided that it will not receive any more contributions from States, and hereafter will obtain nil the funds necessary for the support of the Government through tho regular channels. Senator Nrsmith has been on a visit to Aroostook, Me., where ho left, twenty five years ago, with all his earthly effects tied up in a cotton handkerchief. Tho Cavalry Company cnptnrrd nt Alexandria took the oath of allegiance to tho Government, and were released. Geo. Wii.kes on thk Wcarosa or this Wan. The sporting editor of Wiltet Spir it of the Timet, says the St. Louis corres pondent of the Sncriimento Union, who is at Washington serriug his country with his sword, and his readers by the pen, has the following shrewd remarks, in a late let ter, on tho weapons with which tho bat tles arc likely to be won: " Somo importance has been attributed to the fact that tho Southern men, as a general thing, are better marksmen than the soldiers of the North, and that tlicy will consequently possess a great advantage, through such superiority, in the hour of battle. But while I do not believe Ihnt this is the ease to any great extent, I would not even if it were so, give mnch consider ation to tho fact; for in battle but a fen special shots are made, and the coming struggle is not destined to be a contest of mere mnrkmanship or evolution. War began with the spear for its weapon; after n variety of changes, through several cen turies, it yielded its refinements, and under Napoleon III., on tlio fields of Magenta and Solferino, camo back to the spear again Ou these bloody and bitterly con tested fields, tho alert Zouaves and the athletic Ckasteurt (P Afriqut refused to accept of the rations of powder and ball, when served out to the troops, just previous to battles; nay, when the charge was given refused even to discharge the loads which were already in their weapons, bnt, rushing forwards through the fire, they engaged the Anstrains hard to hand, and bayoneted them in the ranks. This is un questionably tho true resource of superior physical condition. On this plan tho com ing war between the North and South will surely be contested; and in part evidence thereof, I will merely point to tho fact that the Government has already token away the little costly breech-loading toys which the munificence of New York put in the hands of Col. Ellsworth's Regiment, and served out to them the spear, in tho shape of a sabre on the end of a Minie musket, and may Heaven help those nnder the edge of whose bayonets these " pet lambs" shall succeed in getting. There will be some strong fighting, which, possibly, even " butting" and wrestling and throttling may form a part; but, after a short turmoil, the resnlt will be a heap of slain and a flying remnant, eoch of whom will probably rcn- der his verdict of the struggle in the excla mation that " those fellows are not gentle men." The sabre bayonet is also to be distributed throughout the entire army, and I feel certain, from what l have gath ered through military men, that the actual embrace of battle, man to man, is what the Northern captains of this war iutend mostly to rely upon. -J Fortress Monroe. This place is called " fortress." The other defensive works commandii.g the harbors of the country are styled " forts." The latter are sim ply defensive works, with accommodations for only their working and active force, while a fortress Li a stronghold arranged for the accommodation and protection of a large garrison, and whence they may issue for offensive as well as defensive operations. Monroe is the only fortress in the country. Oregon Bonds. We have it from rcli- able authority that bonds which have beca issued in pavmcnt of Oregon wa r scrip, sold at Washington for ninctv four ccnt3 on the dollar.
