Call Ihfta b Ikrlr Hlsal Sim Tho swtndrchi who nro no trying fo deinjliah Unite! Stale Government i'Iiwm to bo called ' ffvveAu)tii.tV instead ol traitor or rebels, for tlio rouson tliut traitor or rebel conveys tlio Idea of one who vlolutci tlio laws am! trumplc on tlio Constitution. A stccH'ionlnt, according to the Yancey vocabulary, is 0110 who pre tends to believe that Stto authority ii su perior to tliut of tho Federal Government that tlio right of sec-osloi is found in the Constitution, and that a member of the Confederacy in resisting the federal author ty Is acting legally, while tlio federal au thorities, in executing- tlio lows they uro sworn to enforce, nro doing violence to jus tice ond trampling on the Constitution. A sccestdoiiist uppenr very much liko a gentle man, while a traitor kIiiimU up he for o tho world in all tho nuked deformity of a pi rate. A secessionist it a truitor decked off In the flimsy gossamer of State Right (lumincry to hide liiii deformity, no as to imposo upon ignorant, well meaning men. Tlio only difl" reiiw between John A.

These 'secessionists ns they call them selves and Imitors, ns we call them, in stead of contenting themselves with carry ing war mid ruin into a few families, are trying to destroy the last hope of liberty throughout tho world by destroying the best government in existence. To effect their purpose, they nru determined to lay our cities in utdies, turn our Ileitis into bar ren wastes, stain nil our rivers with the blood of slaughtered innocence, nnd rear uu aristocracy or military despotism on the ruin of our free institutions to place over u lifo officer chosen by Conventions or Cabinet'), instead of being elected by the people, crush out free speech mid a free pre by mob law, confiscating private proi erly and making forced loans to support such l.izy scoundrels as Iiragg, Yancey, and .iino, in office. These uro tho objects nnd purpose of tlio blacklegs who choose to bo called ' secessionist, ' instead of trai tors or pirate. We believe in calling them by their right names, for we cm seo no reu-ou for being polite to men who, if they had the power, would inaugurate tho same bio dy reign of terror iu Oregon their nl lies have iu tho rebel States. If they dare do it, or rather if they could, they would inaugurate mob rule hero before tho close of summer. Their papers are scattered all over tho country every week reeking with treason mid abusing tho government that protects their lives und property, while in the Davis dominions, to which they belong, und where they ought to go, a patriot is hung for simply expressing a love for the Star and Stripes, What is to bo done with Northern trai tors after the present rebellion is put down? is a question that we leave for future de velopments to decide The beginning of this rebellion opened up new questions of co grave a character that a clear solution of the difficulties seemed to stagger tho wisest et our patriots " What is to be done with the niggers?" was thus answered by Gen. Butler when he Orst crossed into Maryland " We will put down insurrec tions with U. S. bayonets " A week la ter, and Gen. Butler concluded to tuke the runaway slaves into Fortress Monroe and fiU thiui at tlte expense of tho Govern ment. A few day later, aud Gen. Bat- Kr, finding that war was a progressive in- j stitution, snj'gestinj new ideas by new no ctsiitics, met the slaves flocking to tho gates of the fortress end told them to " go in peace whenever they desired." Gen. But ler we a Breckiuridgo di legale to the Charleston Convention, lie lis nil bii life been schooled in ' royrettkt democ racy," lienco he believes Iu progressing. He bus already nindc considerable ' pro gress' on the " ii'.'K question," ond we are Inclined to think hfl un't done proyrtn- We btlicvo tliut this nation is to be pu rified. Toombs said himself that it was " tho most corrupt government on earth." f anr man doubti it, let him read '.he his tory of only ouo half the villainy tliut was perpetrated from tho tiino of the inaugura tion of poor Tierce to the cloio of the Floyd Buchanan Administration. The idea is now becoming quito prevalent oruong such leading politicians as Butler and Dickinson tliut before tho nation is pu rified something must be done willi tho niggers in tlio South ami traitors iu tho North. What courso tho neerisitici of the times will suggest in tlio future, is not now apparent to the ryes of the popu lace. When tho rebellion is put down, however, we believe It will bo well done, nnd satisfactorily done, and tliut good men nnd angels wilt say that it wo the work of the Lord. Tho Devil will grumble ot it, of course, for, liko other secessionists, ho is (tumbling traitor. Ho will grum ble, even if he dot make the largest haul of traitors ut'the close ol this war that ho has ever niado since he and his were pitched headlong over the battlements of Heaven for kicking np fully us sensible o mus ns that more recently got up by Jeff Davis and his confederate tkaitiUM. Tiiohr Hoops. Tho County Commis sioners of Clatsop county have, without the feu r of God before their eyes, closed the Court-House to preaching on Sundays. Tho school-house, a nice, commodious build ing, might be used, but the spaces between tho desks arc so narrow that they will not accommodate ladies wearing hoops. Tlio consequence is that religious services have been dispensed with for tlio present. This is tho first instance wo recollect iu which n religious denomination was ever excluded from n public building by men of the world. Instances nrc frequent, however, in which religious denominations cither shut their doors against each other, or most grace lessly crowd others out by occupying houses that do not belong to them. Tlio world ought to set tho chunk an example of good breeding. Trre WEKAcW" Ksti , has returned - James M.

Ant. fa: Ueing un admirer of grentvuiii tilings, I Imvo had nn inclination for the Inst live years to make mi nsceut to the top of Ml. Hood, and last year I mndo tho ut tempt, but failed. Ou tho 18lli of July, 13C1, however, I succeeded iu reaching the top, nnd think I went higher on this mountain than ever mortal man went be fore seven or eight feet nt least, ns the snow was about that depth on the top when I ascended. My son, Stephen L. May, accompanied me, and at tiic top we drovu down nn uhlcr stuko in the snow with our names carved on Ihe same, nnd nlso a bottle attached containing n piece ol paper, with our names, date, &c. During the ascent, I mndo some observations willi the thermometer to dctermiuo tho altitudi of tho mountain, which I will hero note, stating that the experiments may vary u littlo as to correctness. On the 1 7 lit, willi tlio thermometer I took tho degree- nt which water boiled, three miles below the mouth of Littlo Sandy, nnd found it to be 208 deg., showing 4 degrees less than ut the ocean. Now, allowing 520 feet to the degree, wo have 20S0 feet. At the Sum mit Prairie tlio boiling point was 202 deg showing 5200 feet above the level of the ocean. One mile below the timber on the mountain, I found that water boiled at 200 deg., indicating the point to bo 6240 feet above tbo level of the ocean. Half a mile above tho timber on Mount Hood, water boiled nt 198 deg., showing that point to bo "2S0 feet above tlio level of the ocean. At the hot rock, water boiled nt 1S5 deg., being 27 degrees below the boiling point nt tho ocean, showing the oltitudo at this spot to bo 14,040 feet. Wc proceeded on to the top of the mountain, but on account of the wind blowing so hard, we were unable to make a fire. When we returned to the hot rock, wo supposed tho apex of the mountain was about 1500 feet above tlint point, which would give 15,540 feet as the height of Mount Hood above tho level of the ocean. The snow on tho mountain is several feet deeper than it was last year, nnd grass is extremely scarce. Those de sirous of making tho trip to the top of Moant Hood, will find this the best time, the snow being so deep renders the passage less difficult and less dangerons but I do not advise any one except the curiosity loving to attempt the s.-cent. While on top, I experienced great difficulty with my throat, of which I did not get rid until some distance below, indicating a want of pressure to keep the blood in the system yet my young son felt no inconvenience while on top.
