SATURDAY, JUNK 29, 1801.
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

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

is very encouraging. Mr. Shively, of As

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!"

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

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

Wan. The sporting editor of Wiltet Spir
it of the Timet, says the St. Louis corres

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
