Tho swtndrchi who nro no trying fo

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.

the potency of mimes in tho popular pro

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.

En. 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. T. W. Mat
