About one third had then passed Tort Laramie, and only a small portion had yet reached Salt Lake. One third of the entire immigration was reported bound for Sal mon river mines, and thence into Oregon, of course. This will add more to the population of Oregon than all the immigrations put together tor the last five or six years. The gold from the Northern mines, and the immigration from the States, must unquestionably add materially to the prosperity of the State, and should admonish our citizens that it is time tc. commence the work of public improvements, and to make prepara tions for farming on a more extensive sc le than has yet been practiced in this country. wrong place.

The subject has received some attention within the past few years, but nothing like what i;s importance demands. It would be better to commence manufacturing on a small scale, than to keep putting it ofT, and never do anything. Tanneries should bo estab lished, where they aro not already, in every county, nnd" shoe-shops should follow. Then farmers should patronize these establishments, even if they have to pay moro for the articles, and not run to the stores for everything, until they learn to keep home manufactured articles.

Any of. our business men could establish a manufactory of that kind here, w ith the certainty of making more money than could be made from the same capital invested in any other enterprise, and nt the same time save thousands of dollars to the country every year. There are certainly r.o Yankees out here, or they would have these in stitutions in full blast. It must bo that the Ore gonians are all highminJed gentlemen, from Tike, and other Western States, and that the " greasy Yankee mechanics," nnd vulgar soap makers and the like, have not found their way here yet. May the Lordr or the next tide of emigration, send them along. It is impossible for any country to prosper without Yankees, or some other enter prising people, to keep up business, and to keep down dog fennel and other ill look'i g weeds, which would soon tako the country if they were let alone. Of woollen factories, which reqire heavy cap ital, there is now ono at Salem, and one nearly completed at Brownsville, which probably may be sufficient for tho present requirements of the country. Yet, it is possible that this county, including some of the counties South, and the extensive sheep growing region east of the Cas cade Mountains, would furnish constant employ ment for a woollen factory hero. Indiana Politics. The Union men of Indiana held a State Convention in June, and, out of five important State offices, three were given to tha Republicans, and two to Union Democrats. Speeches were delivered by men who have al ways been prominent Democrats, in which they denounced such men as ex Senator Bright and Vooihees as no better than tho traitors who compose tho black rebel Cabinet at Rich mond. The Douglas Democracy of Indiana have united with the Republicans in forming a Union party, which will carry the State by a majority which will be numbered by tens of thousands. It Is by common consent a law of nation-i, that j Vooi hees, and his co-workers, who arc held Bp by people forfeit all claims to protection when found : the secesh as such model Democrats, are no more general reader, of les intellectual refinement, they cannot find their way into tho regular edi tions of the paper.

This strange result is accounted for by the fact that a multi tude of loafers, thieves, robbers and gamblers of tlieir " peculiar Institutions," or "State rights."

A letter from McClel lan' army dated 20th, says : Two deserters report that the main force of the rebel army is located on a bluff near Chiekahominy, on Grant's Hill. They estimate the rebel force at 190,000. The rebel i don't anticipate any attack from us on this side of James river, but are making preparations to resist any that mav bo made on Petersburg or Richmond from the south side of the river.

A late dispatch from Charleston says: "The enemy landed in force yesterday on the main lanJ, near Port Royal ferry, as if for another attack against the Charles ton and Savannah Railroad. They retreated on the approach of our troops." Washington, July 17. The House adjournad lne die at two. o'clock p. m. to-day. Nearly the entire Senate session to-day was spent in executive session. The list of confirmations is very large. The President has approved the Confiscation Act, nnd the resolution supplementary thereto. The Senate has confirmed Henry Connelly, of New Mexico, as Governor of that Territory. Congress, during the session just ended, ap propriated about $$00,000,000, including 050,. 000,000 f r the army, and 100,000,000 for the navy. Among the important bills postponed by the House are the following : For the admission of Western Virginia; for a uniform system of bankruptcy ; also, creating a Commission to as certain tho losses incurred by loyal citizens from the appropriation of their property by the United States ; also, a biil appropriating 200,000,000 for the emancipation of slaves in the border States. The Senate took no definite action upon the bill abolishing the franking privilege, or the bill, for the repeal of the laws allowing mileage. The House bill providing for the discharge of State prisonres also failed in the Senate. A long list of Acts have been signed by the President. Among them is one authorizing the issue of postage and other Government stamps as currency, and prohibiting, under penalty, banks nnd other corporations from issuing notes below the denomination of one dollar. Cairo, July IS. An officer direct from Curtis' army confirms the report that Price's forces had crossed the Mississippi. According to reports brought to Curtis, the passage has been ttTected by small parties, in fl.itboats and skill's, at ditll-rcnt points within the last ten days. Fort Monroe, July 19. Several gunboatshave come cown the James river to convey the troops which are at this place up the river. AH is quiet, and we have no news from the army. The Grenada Appeal of the 10th has a Vicks btirg dispatch of the 15th, which says the iron-clad gunboat Arkansas left the mouth of the Yazoo river this morning, and moved to encounter the Federal gunboats between the mouth of the Ya zoo and the city. There were thirty boats lying above Vicksburg, which formed a line to receive her. She ran straight through, firing as sho went on, sinking some nnd damaging others. The loss of the enemy is not known. Many escaped over board from the Federal boats nnd were drowned. Within the last hour the lower fl jet has fled transports and all, first blowing up the mortar boats. The rebel loss was ten killed and thirteen wounded. Washington, July 20. Specials to the New York papers say : It is stated that the President has called a meeting of all the Generals to whom Washington is accessible. The Confiscation bill is to be laid- Defin e them, nnd the President's de termination on points left to his discretion is to be ex-plained". Those who are not willing to en force the law in letter nnd spirit, promptly and cheerfully, are to have leave to resign. Cairo, July 21.

Advices from Panama by the North Star say Mosquera had i sued a decree making immigrants, immediately on their arrival, naturalized citizens, with tho ex ception that they should not do military duty fr twenty year unless in case of foreign in vasion. They are exempt from taxation, except in their municipal district. Esix hundred men will probably be sent from lowed to remain at their homes. Those refusing are to be conducted south beyond the extreme picket of tho army, and notified that if again found inside tho lines, or at any point in reach, they will be considered as spies, and subjected to tho extreme rigor of the law. Any person having taken the oath, and afterward violating it, shall be shot, and his property seized and applied to public use. Fredericksburg, July 23. Pursuant to tho orders of General Pope, influential citizens of Fredericksburg, were arrested last night, to be held as hostages fJV the release of certain Union men carried otf by the rebels last spring. The parties were sent to Washington. Large num. bers of individuals are visiting their families here on furlough from the rebel army. Plans are beinir arranged for their capture to night. A de tarhment f Indiana cavalry had a skirmish on Monday with a body of rrbels, several miles from here, on tho Richmond road. Six rebels were capturrd and one killed. Washington, July 2t. The Danish Charged' Affairs and the Secretary of the Interior have entered into a contract the Government of the former agreeing to receive from the United States vessels all negroes delivered from on board of vessels seized in the prosecution of the slave trade, by commanders of tin ted State besscU. and to provide ibem with suitable in? struction. clothing and shelter, nnd employ them at such wages and under such regulations as may be nsreed upon for a period not to exceed live years from the date of their seeing landed on the Island of St. Croix. Cairo, July 24. Officers of the dispatch boat from Vicksburg say it was reported at Menphis, from rebel sources, that the gunboat Arkansas had been captured. The officers aro inclined to believe the report, as an expedition was planned before they left to cut her out and capture her. Memphis, July 22. Advices from Vicksburg say : " Farrngut's fleet received no damnge iu passing tho batteries on the night of the Arkan sas' exploit, and succeeded in silencing every rebel battery as they passed. Washington. July 25. The Commissioner of Indian Ail'iirs has received cheering advices from the Indian Territory. Lirge numbers of Indiana have asked to be furnished with arm to operate against secessionists. It has been ascertained that the rebel Government professes tt have made treaties with the Choctaw, Shawnees, Sen eca, nnd other tribes, and appropriated money to carry the treaties into effect. As the Senecas and Shawnees are known to be loyal to the United States, it is supposed th.it the treaty wa9 made by a few only of their chiefs with the rebels. Specials to tho New York papers say that Senator Iane, of Kansas, yesterday received au thority from the President and Secretary of War to recruit troops under the late laws. Willi this authority he w ill leave for the West to-morrow, where ho wiil issue an order calling for loyal men, irrespective of color. lie expe'ets to have ono w hite nnd two black regiments in tho field in three weeks from the time he reaches his destina tion. A telegram from a member of McClellan' stalf says All civilians, including correspon dents, are now excluded from the lines of that The first of September has been determined upon as the day on w hich tho Internal Tax Bill poes into practical operation.

Phelps of Missouri has been appointed Military Governor of Arkansas with full powers to reestablish the authority of the Uovemment therein, in accord aucewilli the Constitution. Washington, July 21. There is reason to be lieve that the President will soon lay down certain rules for the conduct of the war such rules as any ono desirous of carrying out the principles of the Confiscation Act would adopt and enforce. k is-now positively known that the President under the advice of Gen. Scott, and with the will probably receive a majority in every comity in the State. Correspondence from John Days' River. Through the kindness of Esquire Parsons, of this city, we are permitted to make the following extracts from a letter from A. A. Smith, Esq., dated, Granite Creek, John Day's river, July 21.
