Tim univ-ral uprising of tin mastcs in
sll the Northern States Co put down rebel
lion nid save Government, hat abashed
nJ astonialn-d Jeff Davis and bli ruin
loin, no mora than bu tbe thundering echo
from Oregon rolled beck across the moun
Uiiu astonished the little Uod of lUck
corxpirators heeded bj Jo Lane, who bad
biixed ell their cslcuUtioni for future fume
uud fortune on the supposed preponderance
dinloyslty amoug oar citlxens. If nny man
doubled the patriotism of oar ieople two
wm ki ago, we think the demonstrations ol
J ily 4th. 1801, ell over the land, have
nut failed to oien bit eye. The awful cri
kiit in the hitory of oar national affairs bu
b'ron Ken, felt, and fully comprehended by
thn people ou thii coast. The Inion sen
timenl hud been gradually developing itself
fur the lust three months, In Un'on meet
logs and flag-raisings, until it hud altuiiicd
an intensity, that demanded one grand uni
venal outburst on the natal day of Amcri
can Indejiendence. For the last three
months, secession organs and their few sup
norters have been trying to check the
'
gathering storm of patriotism by dcnouuc
ing Union mooting and patriotic demon
strntions generally. They have branded
Union Democrats in mass conventions as
abulitiu:iUti' ttioy have begged the peo
pie not to " create an excitement" by ex
pruwiug preference for the Stars and
Stripes over the ruttle-suako ensign they
have openly avowed that their " sympa
tliics were with the South," and denounced
all tho defensive preparations of tha Gov
ernnient to protect the Capital from tho
torch of tho incendiary, and save the heads
of tho Government from the knife of the
assassin, as 'coercion' they have tried to
enlist the sympathies of tho people in bo
half of thoso who were plotting the ruin of
(he Government, committing outrages upon
public properly, and heuping indignities
upon Union men In all the Southern States
they havo rejoiced to see the Govern
ment soldiers shot down by tho " Plug
. Ugly" assassins of Bulilmoro they have
fondly embraced these l'lug Uglies as " our
Southern brethren," now they oro turning
tbeir weapons against tho Government,
when a few months ogo they denounced
them as cut throats and Know Nothing as
sassins for driving Democrats from the
polls and electing Know Nothings by vio
lence and fraud they have seen Union
men and women robbed of their property,
tarred and feathered, and shot down or
Jmng liko dogs, or compelled to flee for
tboir lives from the Davis dominions, and
suppressed theso facts from their readers
they have tried all tho arts of politicul jug
glery, tho manipulations of dough-face wiz
ards, and tho authoritative bluster of ncgro
driving urrogance to prevent tho manifes
tation of a Union sentiment in Oregon.
Weill wlutt has it all amounted to?
Do any of these sympathizers with treason
sea anything in tho signs of the times to en
courage thomf Do they imagine that the
thousands and tons of thousands that came
down from the prairies, the hills aud
gorges of tho mountains, men, women, aud
children, In wagons, ou horses, aud ou foot,
tO'celebruto tho elghty-flfth anniversary
of American Independence, can ever bo in
due d to blot out the 4th of July, bury the
American (lug, and tnko tho yoke of Jeff
I). wis upon their necks? Did these seces
sion organ-grinders, as they wormed their
' siUa lengths through these vast crowds,
set ".ny body that expressed a willingness
. to iinve tho New Dahomey constitution
fivo.il down his throat without tho poor
privilege of voting for it? Did they hear
s'y one sny ho desired to exchange n deni
ocrane government lor a monarchy or an
aristocracy with negro-owning officials over
him culled to life offices without his vote?
Or, failing iu this, do they think the peo
plo aro ready to enter into a war of rebel
lion against the General Government for
the suko of inaugurating a " Pacific Em
pire," with Jo Lane as Etnpeior, dispens
ing laws copied from Yancey's Congres
sional Statutes at Large, at a cost of eighty
millions a year, after three fourths of our
people are killed off iu securing their ' In
dependence'? . It' any of the secessionists havo seen any
thing in recently transpiring events to in
duce them to contract their elongated vis
ages a little, we hope they will make an
item of it. It strikes us as though any one
possessed of common sagacity, who if at sll
familiar with the history of great revolu
tions and knows anything of the causes
oow at work to solve the greatest problem
ever wrought out, ought to be able to de
cide by this time whether treason is likely
to pny' ia Oregon.
N( Waanoc. We aaderetaod that Reb
art featleod, Eaq., ia about ennatracting a new
warehoo M lb poaite ij f the river, an Ih
it at the farmer aw, with apparatne to facilitate
the traaaavrtatrea af freight avar lb KalW.
Tbe His.
It now seems to be a pretty well ttab
lUhrd fact that the new mines art good.
We have since 1849 been impressed with
the belief that as good mines would be
found to the north-east of this as those of
California In 1848-9. We bad evidence to
satisfy at of the fact twelve years ago, and
we bare made this statemeut already more
than once la the Argus. Wt oow believe
that tbe whole couatry to the east and
south-east of the Ncx Teres wines Is gold
couatry to the eastern declivity of the
Rocky Mountains. Ai good gold mines
sre yet to be opened ia this country as
were ever oiened In California, if not bet
ter. Tbey may be found soon, and they
may not be found for years but they will
be found nevertheless. Wt mskt the pre
diction, aud rest our character as prophet
oo IU failure or fulfillment. Wt saw a
man twelve years since who had tusny
years sgo seen the gold, as be said. We
believe he told the troth.
Whenever rich mines are opened, It will
draw away a large portion of our popula
tion for a time. People who are la debt,
aud bard pressed for money, will gt to the
mines. Public journals may pray, preach,
and sing about staying at home and work
ing their farms but Its of no use. Go they
must, and go they will, to raise the dust,
is sure as water will run down bill. When
wheat is fifty cents, and baron won't sell,
bachelor fanners of sense will try the mines
a spell. You may write and you may sing
about sawing away on the old string,
preuch good times coining witb no credi
tors dunning, if all stsy on their farms
and fill up their barns, but two thirds of the
men, ns it always has teen, will roll out In
spite of fate, and you cau't stop them. We
wouldn't stop them if we could, for we be
lieve it would be better for the country if
two thirds of our entire Kpuliition could
work this summer iu good mines, leaving
tho other third to raise produce. One
third of our present farming force will raise
all the produce that will sell at good round
prices for the next year, while if all stay at
home and farm, provisions will bo low in
spito of futo.
If much gold comes into Oregon tho
next twelve months, except what merchants
get hold of and send immediately out of
the couutry, Ortgonians must go and dig
it. That Is so, and you cannot make it
otherwise If the mines should pay well
for years, wo can easily see how it might
cvenluully muko times good here, whether
wo go or stay. liut tho relief is too fur
off, eves then, to meet the present pressing
exigency, when nenrly all aro iu debt, and
there is no prospect of remunerative prices
for produco for a long time We do not
wish to advise any one, neither do we be
lieve tlmt nny amount of sermonizing by tho
pnjicrs will muteriully affect the action of
tho ieoplo. Tbe people have sense enough
to see their own interest they think for
themselves, and are just ns capable of mak
ing correct calculations as a poor editor
who husu't exhibited much financiering
ability as yet.

1 be following opinion Is from the author
of GttrJntr'i Jmlilulf, which we publiah
for the information of the public and in de
fence of tbe President and bis patriotic
Cabinet:
The powers of the President ss Commander-in-Chief
of the Military and Nevsl
forces of the United States, are very ex
tensive 1n time of war with foreign enemies
or In rebellion witb traitors iu arms or civil
war.
Tbe Supreme Court of the United States
decided that the civil (Jorernment organiz
ed over conquered Mexico by the Presi
dent, and administered bv our naval aud
military officers, was legal and effectual, as
well as the establishment of a Ur.IT in tho
conquered ports. ( Howard's U. S. H.,
003.) (18, How. 104.) Gardner's Insti
tutes, COI, 603, 208, HI! 18.)
These authorities and the common judg
ment of all patriotic men show the correct
ness of tbe following principles of public
law:
I. That an American army In a hostile
foreign country or rebel State, which re
sorts to violence, to attacks on the nation
al armv, to destruction of bridges, railroads
and tc-h graphs, to cripple the power of the
Federal Government and of iU armed de
fender and supporters, Is vetted with full
military jurisdiction, so far as the President
thull order, as Commander-iu-C'hief, to dis
place the civil and enforce a military Gov
ernment. Self-dtlencc, a universal right,
shows the propriety of this rule. Gard
ner's Institutes, pp. 27, 53, 695, 079,
C83.
II. That such power extends to all civil
and criminal offences, to tho extent of such
order, including those that are capital.
The President will, of course, use tne pow
cr with caution aud a sound discretion.
(Gardner's Inst., pp. 208, 193, 195, 001,
608.)
III. That if martial low Is so ordered
to be proclaimed iu a rebellious State or
city, either in arms or ready to tuke np
arms, to attack the Federal forts, forces or
Cnnitul. or that fiirntfhes soldiers or mu
n tions to tho rebels, the military officer in
commnnd niny rstalihah n civil miliary gov
ernment and enforce it by arrests and triul
by Court Martiul, and even condemn trai
tors to death if the sentence is approved by
the President.
Of necessity no haleat corpus will be re
garded where arrests aro so made by the
President's order. This writ, in its legal
application, must not be allowed to become
an ally of robots and traitors, a destroyer
of freedom instead of its defender.
IV. liy virtuo of this high mnrtiul pow
er, in time of war and rebellion, the Presi
dent and officers acting under him may des
troy property, public or private, to keep it
from tho use of a reln-l or enemy, or he
may close sill the rebel ports, aud prevent
all coasting and foreign trade; and may
stop all commerce with rebel Stntes, to
destroy tho resources of the rebels, an I
compel ola-dience to the Federal Govern
ment, (lb. aud p. 538.)
Y. 15 tho some martial power, the
President may niureli the United States
forces into and through any State, and
form camps therein, to attack the rebels
and pnt down their forcible resistance to
the Federal authority; or he may station
them in any Stato uud erect forts there,
for '.hut or nny other nationul object, nnd
forcible opposition to such Government
acts by any citizen of any Stato is treason.
(Gardner's Institutes, pp. 323, 332.)
VI. The opening and shutting of the
rebel ports is a domestic mutter, with
which foreign nations havo no right to in
terfere in any manner; nnd every vessel
that trades or attempts to trade with the
closed ports, in definncu of the military
order of President Lincoln, mny bo seized
and confiscated. (Gurduer's Inst., 535, 5
18. 19. 94.)
VII. That, ns the traitorous conspiracy
of Davis, Toombs, Cobb, Hoyd, nnd Co
is not a nation, and never will lie, the re
bullion is wholly a domestic affuir, and
any act of nny foreign Power recognizing
it in any manner, either by trranttng vuitti
ity to Davis's piratical letlers-of mnrqne, or
by insisting that tho ordinary public law of
nations slut 1 1 be deemed applicable to our
domestic military blockade of rebels, every
such Power must be held an enemy to our
Republic, nnd treated accordingly, (lb.,
pp. 2, 220, 225, 382, 304, 148, 152, 509,
512. 027, 633, 658, 522, 524, 528.)
VIII. This high military power will nu
thorizo the President, by his nrmy and
navy, to seize nil slaves belonging to rebels
and traitors (us they have been and are
used to erect rebel formications and per
form military duties in attacking our forts
and armies,) as contraband or war; and
wo may properly employ tiio rebel slaves
in similar military duties in defence of tho
Federal forts, forces, and Federal authori
ty. Our able Gen. 15utler has aptly ap
plied this principle to a recent case. The
principle is capable of extensive and useful
application.
ia. ino J resident s civil powers in
pence, though great, aro small, Indeed, when
compared with the hiirh constitutional mil'
itury and naval authorty in time of war
nna rebellion, when tho universal maxim.
popua tuprtma lex, gives the rule of ex
ecutive law and action.
X. Where tho President has a military
Discretion to decide an act. no Court or
Judge can review bis judgment or control
nis constitutional action.
A Hardshell Preacher os the Ux
ion. Some of those corduroy preachers of
the West are rough as the roads over
which their parishioners are obliged to jour
ney to get at them. Said one of them, a
short time since, by way of "concluding re
marks" to a sermon on the Union: " Hav
ing used up all the arguments I could think
of to stir up your patriotism, nothing re
mains for me to add but ' let ns pray,' and
after prayers look out for kllf"
n? In reference to church flogs, the
Pacific says: Nothing could be more ap
propriate than that the sanctuaries of re
ligion should thus give forth the most sol
emn and significant endorsement of the ef
forts of the best Government in the world,
for crushing out the most infamous re
bellion that can ever darken the paws or
history. "

Ko. Akois: I presume your readers and
our friends generally would like to bear
from this place occasionally, and Prt'j'u;
lorly how we get along since ' t nele Abe
becsma Presidcul. Voo msy remember
that we ned to complain good deal
about our Post-Office, Custom House, Mil
itary Itoad. Ac, Ac, and that we, pretty
much all of nt, airreed and admitted that
the election of Uncle Abe,' or any one
else, except Hm k and Lane, would tun ly
bring nt a correction of tbe abusts com
plllill'd of. , ,
Well, the election came and ped -
The 4th of March came also, and with It
it.. :,..,lr,iin,tion of ' Uncle Abe.' notwith
standing the predictions to the contrary of
many bold as well as timorous men.
The attractions of Astoria, the prospects
of upper town,' the 'silver' mines, and
lastly, though not least of all, the ez
Perce fold mine fever, toek from upper
town all the surulut Dooulation which
was only one family and a half, I think
bnvii.r onlv tha Federal officials there,
These last held on, and held on, and kept
holding im never having sworn, I think,
that they would " never hold office under a
Ulack Republican administration" until
some of ns besan to think that Mr. Im
coin was slow, to say the least. Still, we
clung to the motto, ' A'il detperandum'
and recollected that be. too. in his Inaugu
ml said that whatever is done deliberately
is more likely to be done well. Hut at
length we learnedXhat W. L. Adams was
appointed ou the 8th of April Collector at
Astoria a gleam of light. Next, that on
the 9th of May a notification to him of Ids
appointment, nnd to Gen. Adair to quit,
were penned and mailed to the U. S. Dis
trict Juduo at Portland. Mr. Adams re
ceived bis commission, notification, ic,
verv kindle from tho said Judtre. after liar
ing executed his bonds, Ac, on the 12th of
June, and on the 1 4 in called on ucn.
Adair, who very gracefully signified hi
readiness to surrender on the Monduy
mornimr folluwiiiir. the 17th of June
which be sccordinirly did.
The new Collector, pursuing tho policy,
In nnrt. of the Administration, concluded
to retain the old deputy until the 30th of
June, which would be the end of the finan
cial year, and would close up all accounts
or the ouico to tlmt ante. iow me otuco
is in new bunds throughout, and it is liomd
orders will como from Washington soon for
the removal of the Custom House to Attn
na; tot thero is no reason or convenience,
that enn bo ttumcd, why tho office should
continue at uper town, but every reason,
having nny opplication to the matter, why
it should be removed speedily to its proper
place Astoria where all tho interests
uud conveniences of the two places actiiully
t-xist. But it huviiiit been held fur tight
yenrs at ' upper town,' nnd a little pi ce of
property, worth three Itumlrcu dollars or
less, having been bought and puid for there,
for tho U. S., by tho former Collector, it
has been thought ndvisublo not to abandon
it until orders to that effect shall bo re
ceived from Washington. When those
orders come, and the commission for our
new Postmaster, C. L. Porker, which we
exjiect is ou tho road hither from Wash
ington, our community nine tenths of
them will rejoice exceedingly and with
great joy. I verily believe that those who
have for so muny yours caused us so much
inconvenience by keeping the Post-office nt
' upper town,' uttd deprived us of our crjnnl
rights with them to tbo patronage of lite
Custom Iloufe, Revenue Cutter, untl Mili
tary Pond, nnd to a great extent prevented
the growth and prosperity of tho whole
county, are aslmmcd, now, or tho whole
transaction; and if kit to themselves would
not have pjttek to continue there nuother
quarter ol u year.
lint, thanks to tbe versatile character,
recuperative energies, aud late-abiding dis
position of the American people (except
the few secessionists), we shall now soon
recover our lost character as a thriving,
enterprising, harmony-loving community, if
such lias not been the case heretofore and
I certainly utltuit that peace, harmony,
thrift, and energetic action cuti only exist
w hen the mnss of tho people possess their
inalienable right to life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness, under just nnd equal
Inns and regulations, deprivations, and
benefits.
My hope nnd prayer upon this subject
now is, that all other portions of Oregon,
and Washington, and California, nnd of
the whole country, in fact, mny feel, nnd
seo in the near distance, as great benefits
and satisfaction from the new administra
tion of Abrujiam Lincoln, proportionately,
as does onr little community of Astoria
and Clatsop County.
Harper's Ferry Evacuated. Tho
Washington correspondent of tho Bulletin
writes, saying:
" There seems to be no reason to doubt
that the rebels have entirely abandoned
Harper's Ferry. They could not expect
to withstand the crushing force of the sev
eral columns of Federal troops which were
so rapidly marching to surround and cut
tlicm off from all assistunce. Tho alterna
tives before them were surrender, extermin
ation or retreat, and they, wisely choso the
latter. Harper's terry was held so long
by tho rebels nnd extensively fortified with
a view of making it the base of operations
looking to a descent upon Washington or
an inroad into Pennsylvania both of
which were cardinal points in Jeff Davis'
military performance. The evacuation of
Harper s i erry leaves our army with no
enemy in its rear, and free to address itself
next, to the work of driving the rebels
south of Manassas Junction. Let the
reader examine again his indispensable ranp,
and he will see that the Federal columns
directed against Harper's Ferry readily
sweep around to the westward and south
ward, so as to outhank the rebels at Man
assas, and take them again in the rear.
hether Davis will sally out from his in-
treiichmeiits, or wait to be himself assailed
therein, remains to be seen; but Gen.
Scott's policy, yon msy rest assured, will
be the same Defender as it has been hither
to he will avoid a general battle if possi
ble, in order to save life, and will address
himself chiefly to the work of cutting off
the enemy's supplies of provisions and mu
nitions of war."

WjtsiiiNCTo.v, June 18. Tho War De
partment has accepted three odditioiinl
regiments from Iowa, muking six, Including
cavalry. It is stuted. on undoubted au
thority, that Senator Wigfull visited this
city in the disgubo of a cattle drover,
and after muking a through reconnoisnnce,
returned too Mnnnssns Junction. The
Wur Depnrtinent has accepted for three
years, or for the wur, a Chicago battalion,
raised by Capt. J. W. Wilcox, consisting of
212 men rank nnd Die, culled the Illinois
Brigade of Dreastwork and Fortificutiou
Fusiieers.
The rebels' guns nnd lings are distinctly
seen ut Aquia Cn-t k, nnd a large number
of tents are distinguishable. It is certain
tlmt a strong force is gut bend there, which
is to be reinforced from timo to timu from
the Maryland shore.
TheiV. Y. World's Wa-hlngtnn dis
patch of the 1 7th says, thut information
reached there ut a lute hour to-night, that
four regiments arc udvniiciug toward Fair
fax. It is said thnt tho rebels evacuated
the village, returning to Manassas.
Lieut. Gen. Scott receivvd tho following
dispatch: " I left i-amp nocording to In
structions, with tbo First Ohio Regiment,
CCS strong; went on exped tion to Fulls
Church, to patrol ronnd in that direction.
I then proceeded to Vienna, Va., witb four
eompnnirs Company K, Cnpt. Haddock;
Company C, Lieut YVoodwnrd, afterwards
joined by Cnpt. Pease, Company, G ;
Capt. Darby, Company h total, 210.
Ou tnruing the cup-c, within a quarter of
a milo of Vienna, we were fired upon by
several mns-ked batteries of three gnus,
with round shot and grape, which killed
and wounded three men."'
The N. Y. Herald's dispatch from
Washington, of the I8ih, says tlmt the
Vienna attack commenced shortly before
7:30 p. h. The lute hour ncconnts for tfiu
failure of tho enemy to pcwtie. The troops
aro expecting a strong Federal force.
Muj. Gen. Schenck, with sword drawn,
boldly threw himself between the bat
teries nnd his men, giving bis orders in a
cool nr.d deliberate manner, nnd telling the
boys that Ohio expected them to do their
duly. If the train hud advanced 100
yards further, tho destrnction of lile would
have been terrible, nnd tho entire expedi
tion made prisoners by the enemy.
The X. Y. World's dispatches from Wash
ington of tho I stli say: It is understood
that no previous reconnoissnnco had been
made where the fight took place at Vienna.
The same train had not only proceeded
some three miles beyond tho scene of the
conflict several dnys before, but our scoots
had boon over w.f very ground upon winch
the batteries were erected. Tho battery
consisted of six-pounders, which fire.' seven
rounds, tbe hrst being most destructive,
scattering rouud shot and grape into the
passenger cars, which contained four com
panies of the First Ohio Regiment. The
battery was oo a bill almost perpendicular
over the track, and it would huve been
folly to attempt to take it. Tho troops
were therefore forced to make a hasty re
treat. A report that the battery was
manned by Kentnckinns and Carolinians is
doubtless a mistake. The rebel force is
estimated at about 10,000. a,
St. Locis, June Slst. The Democrat's
special dispatch from Syracuse, about 25
miles south of Booneville, says; An expe
dition nenrly 1000 strong with four pieces
of artillery, under Copt. Totten, of the
regular service, left Boonville on a. m.,
yesterday. Gov. Jackson, with abont Gve
hundred men arrived here on Tuesday,
after impressing tbe property of both ene
mies and friends. They got tidings of pur
suit and suddenly left yesterday morning,
proceeding south toward Warsaw. Our
forces have gone forward to-day, but there
is littlo hope of overtaking tbe fleeing
party.
A battle took place at snnrise on Toes-
day morning, between 800 Home Guards,
under Capt Cook, near Camp Cole, and a
