V The Mob Oovertimmt of H"w Orleans. Our issue of last week contained an hc connt of the successful assault of au irrespon sible mob upon tbe government of New Or leans, and tbe formal surrender by the con stituted authorities of the sorernment thereof, Into the hands of the nnreckoning mob self-styled "Vigilance Committee." This proceeding, borrowed from San Fran cisco, is possessed of more consequence than may at first strike the reader. The exam ple is fall of contagion, and is fraught with peril to the Institutions of other cities and towns. In all oar large towns are lawless men, restire ander the restraints of govern ment, regulation, courts, punishment, and prisons, anxious to imitate the insurrection ary examples of Saa Francisco and New Orleans. Lovers of law and order cannot bat view these rebellions and usurpations with sadness and alarm. The worst gov ernment in the world.is that of an irresponsible mob, answerable to no power, restricted by no laws, and conducting its operations in se cret. Fower in such bauds is a source of abuse and terror to thu virtuous, and an engine of injustice and oppression. Whatever other evil befalls, God save us from such govern ment. If any authority exercises rule over us, we want to know what it is, what its powers are, and what are our rights. We want all these defined, restricted and guar anteed by law, and we want the acts and operations of that authority to be open and public. Tbo "Reigns of Terror" which the world has witnessed have been nnder these kind of irresponsible governments, moving, like the Sou Francisco "Vigilance Commit tee" of 16, in secret, and in darkness.- Such organized mobs are more terrible than enlightened despotisms. And the well dis posed citizen who, by rcasou of temporary ills under the law and its constituted au thority, is persuaded to aid and abet such insurrections, will sooner or later renp a le gitituate harvest cf oppression nnd outrage, Tbe scenes enacted in New Orleans are-a digrace to that city; the pusilanliuous con duct of the constituted authorities iu but feebly resisting-, and finally surrendering to the mob, is disgraceful to the locul govern nient; while inactively witnessing law and rightful nutho-ity thus trampled upon within its jurisdiction, and its borders, inflicts last ing shame and disgrace rtpou the State o Louisiana. y We anticipate that the next theatre of operations cf lUls mob government will be the city of New York, and we trust it will be met iu such a maimer there as to furnish au antidote for it for at least half a centn ry. Aud we believe it will be. We think constituted authority in that city, backed by the giant power of the State, cannot be successfully resisted and defied as in San Francisco and New Orleans. We hope the first display ifcere will be received with Na poleon's remedy, . ball cartridge, and re bellion summarily punished, though human blood may ruu rivers, and' human bodies pile barricades in the streets. If Liberty, regulated by law, is to long exist under this government, these eshibitions of tnobism have gone quite far enough, aud all succeed ing like insurrections should be summarily dealt with by tbe military arm. If New York, as we anticipate, is made tbe next theatre of operations, let the severe meas ures, with augmented power and severity, which so speedily quelled the "Astor place riot" be promptly resorted to. Let the lives of New York's first '-'Vigilance Com mittee" mob be the forfeit of their crime, and it will be a long day before organized re bellion again exhibits itself there. The Atlantic press has taken the alarm, and almost unanimously condemns this New Orleans outbreak. Among' them are press es that winked at, or directly countenanced the excesses of the San Francisco stran gles. The New York Herald, which approved of tbe proceedings of the second San Fran cisco Vigilance Committee, now 6ay3: "The hour when our people begin to appeal from the ballot-box to the barricade as the French do will not be far distant from the end of Liberty in the United States." And the Times, of the same city, which in P856 occupied the same grcund, pronounces the New Orleans movement "utterly unjustifia ble and deplorable," and adds: "The tolera tion of such a system as that before which the city of New Orleans L's jut nnccumbed throws us back in the condition of Mexico, where coveiument is pnrtly a matter of force, and where one administration tamls only until another party becomes btroiig enough to overthrow it. The practice began in San Francisco. It has reached New Or leans, and may ere long be tried in New York." Ocr Admission. The next mail will bring us intelligence of the adjournment of Congress, and the fate of the Scnato bill providing for the admissionNof Oregon into the Union. . Of course speculation is idle, but wo are of the opinion that the bill did not pass the House, and was not considered there. Its passage in the Senate will sur vive the adjournment, or recess, and the House will probably concur at the next session. We think thc passage of the bill in tbe Senate was unexpected to Uen. Lane, and that be did not anticipate it. The Washiugtou correspondcut of the Sacra mento Union says: Much to the surpriso of every one, the Oregon bill was yesterday passed by the Senate. It was brought up by Mr. Douglas, tbe blockade of the appropriation bill hav-. tag been removed. ' ' , t& It is reported that rich gold discov eries have been made on the Yakima and its tributaries, leas than one hnndred and fifty miles from the Dalles. Gen. Palmer, late Superiateudant of Indian Affairs is said to be going ap with a party to prospect tbe eaantrj. ,.- - - Tk BrltlsU Insults. , England has long witnessed, with envy and jca!ouy, the growing strength r. Im portance of American commerce, and she has felt .conscious that her proud title as "mistress of. the seas" was soon to be suc cessfully disputed by the mighty Republic which sprang from bcr cruelty and oppress ion. While the British Navy is the most powerful of that of any nation, her states man are not blind to the fact that in prra Utring, she, with her navy, is, or is soon to be, no match for the United Slates upon the waters, and that sho is, or is soon to be, no longer "mistress of the Reas." That gov ernment has witnessed all this with no kind ly spirit, and American statesman have for some years predicted that a bloody con test with England, at no distant day, was to settle our supremacy upon the wave. Apprehending this, the British Government has endeavored to discountenance privateer ing, and to procure its condemnation by tbe cations of -the earth, and its abandonment by the United States. But, the latter would grant no such concession, and have sturdily adhered to this important right, and powerful element of war. It is not impossible that these conside rations have something to do with the re cent outrages upon the American flag by British cruisers in our southern seas. The cases of detention und search of our mer chant vessels have been too frequent to war rant the belief that it means nothing, and is unknown to the. Government. The pretext is the suppression of the slave trade, while the purpose is the crip pling of American commerce, and the rights of tbe American- nation. In this connec tion, the New York News says: Great Brit ain having failed in her schemes of negro phi lanthropy, and now reviving tbe slave trade in the most-odious forms, for her own inter est, assumes to justify her impudence and insult toward the American flag under the lying pretext of suppressing the trade. That is the plain and simple fact cf the case on the one hand. On the other hand, the Tact is equally plain and simple that the United States will not snbniit to any as sumption or any snch sophistry. We stand npon the fundamental dectine of the free dom of the seas. And however universal may be the appreciation of our magnanimity in forgetting the insolence of Spain, and other European States, Paraguay and other South American States, tbe people of the Union seek no more glory in that direction and are now quite ready to sing the war chorus to tbe end of British aggression. In any event and under-all circumstances, we claim the right of free commercial inter course with all nations without the philau thropic auxiliaries of British, search' or "visitation." In vindication cf this claim we have a little force already making its war in toward the West Indies; and for tbe same purjoe we will speedily have a little more force movinsr and acting in tbe same quarter. The rights of 30,000,000 of free white men is a somewhat greater matter upon which to exercise an enlightened philau thropy than the hypocritical comtnisleration of the fortaucs of - a handful of greasy and shiftless negroes. We aim at the best iutcrests of all races; and as tbe great step toward that consum mation, we demand tbe recognition of na tional sovereignty for ourselves nnd freedom of the seas for all. Therefore, with a lively appreciation of the possible consequences, we sing "the war chorus." The Intrgrttjr of Dtmxralle Organizations The following article from the Washing ton Union is so full of rebuke to the fla grant attempt made lately in Oregon to di- Tide and defeat the Democratic party, and coincides so completely with tbo view we have heretofore expressed iu regard to that attempt, that we cannot rcfraiu from giving it a place in the Statesman: The Chicago Times of the 22J inst , makes a direct call upon this paper for information con cerning the views of the administration in refer ence to the duty of democrats to support the nom inees of the party and to uphold its regular or ganizations. The Times, preliminary to its in quiries, expresses a cordial concurrence in what the Union said a few days ago upon this subject. Now, we desire to say to our coteuiporaty, that while we do not feel authorized or care to speak for the members of the administration, we have net the least hesitancy in the world in utter ing our own views upon this matter. Upon gen eral principles, and having in mind an earnest wish t secure the triumph ( the democracy, and an abiding faith in the justice of the noble cause,, we would counsel our friends faithfully to abide the decision of democratic conventions, and earn estly and truly seek the election of their nomi nees. To this rule we never knew of au excep tion which in our judgment was sufficient to jus tify a rcfnsal tojobey the laws of party. " Again, at this time especially, do we insist tbat demo crats shall unite against the common enemy ; and we will add that if heretofore it could bo said it was wrong to wrangle and quarrel, it is crim inal to do so now. t'Gcn. J. K. Lamerick ha changed the name of the winning horse, "Gabriel," to "Salem Clique. Herald. The General understands tbo appropri ateness of names. We will "go our bottom dollar," on the " bottom" of his " Salem Clique All the distanced horses should be called " National-democratic-black-republi-can." p Pept.

Horse Obitcary. A late number of the Troy, X. Y., Whig, (Gen. Wool's place of residence) has the following: E7 A young and fine looking horse owned by General Wool, died on Saturday. It was one of a span of carriage horses, and valued at between three and four hundred dollars. "The Northern Light," is the name of a weekly paper jnst started at Whatcom, W. T., by W. Bausmau & Co, at $7 00 per year. It is less than half tbe size of the Statesman. A. SaTT. -Your letter is dated Eugene City, bat your name is not on that list. At What offce do y ou. receive it? . . Tna Itnltr KItcz- EicMcsmM. The Frnzier river excitement seems to be on the increase in California; nt least, the rush overlntid is increasing. The parsing through here of trains of mules of from Cfty to one hnndred, nnd upwards, is of almost daily occurrence on Thursday near two hundred were here. The travel goes mostly via the Dalles, now, we believe. The cpid emic does not rage fiercely in Oregon, yet, but it is evidently increasing.- Our people seem to be more incredulous than are Californians, and a large disconnt is made of the extravagant stories afloat. A small party which went from this town to Bcllinghani Bay, returned last week, be ing unable to get beyond Whatcom. Tbcy report that there are fifteen thousand people at Bellinghain Bay, waiting to get np Fra zter's river, the waters of which are now too high for either navigation or mining. They think the Sonnd route impracticable and recommend the Dalles. They saw men at the Bay, who come down from the mines, but could get no definite or satisfactory in. formation respecting them. Clams are in great demand at the Bay, and many of the diggers are engaged iu prospecting for them. The Frazier river excitement has caused a sudden rise in Hour in tins valley, it is worth in this market 920 per bbl., and at Portland, $30. This' is on Thursday. It would not be surprising if it was twice these figures before our publication day, and not more than half of them in two weeks. At San Francisco, at last dates, it was worth only SI I and Slz. The best cold mine a farmer can find is in his grain field. We have read much of the "reliable cor respondence" contained in the California pa pers, and in those of Washington Territo ry, upon the subject of these mine?, and we have availed ourselves of every opportunity to obtain information from other sources; nnd we confess we are unable to see any suf ficient basis for this great excitement; we are forced to marvel thereat, and inquire, in the language of one of the patriarchs, Shakspear, or "some other good man, "What is this cursed multitude about?" We have yet seen nothing to warrant the belief that mines of great richness and extent exist in New Caledonia. Tbat there is some gold npon Frazrer's river and its tributaries, we have no doubt ; but, so far as we can learn, it is confined to the bars, and beds. That some gold has been taken out, there is no doubt; we know that gold exists in all the country surrounding us on the east and north. That a few men have roads as high as fifty do! lars per day, some days. Is a fact pretty well authenticated. And that some have made nothing, is quite as strongly so. There were some small bars at Colville which paid well, and men there made, for several days, Gfty and seventy-five dollars per day. There are men in this county who did this; but the great bnlk of those who went there made nothing. The bars were small," shal low, and quickly worked out. There is no reason to snppose the resnlt will prove very much different at Fraz:cr s river; at least we have, seen none. Those mines may .prove to be ef great ex tent and nciines?, may oc even, as they are said to be, "a second California, and even richer and more extensive." We hope they are, but we believe the discoveries so fur made warrant no such conclusion. So f;ir as we are able to learn, the case yet made out, is not stronger than that of Colville. We would recommend all to keep cool Yon couldn't mine now, if yon were there, and yon had better stay at home, and at tend to vour bnsiness, if yoi Lave any. If tbe mines arc rich and wide spread, it will be ample time to go when those facts are es tablished. If they arc pretty much of hnmbnir. as we incline to believe, von will have saved morals, (for in that case you wil swear some) money, and moccasin?, by re mainins at home. Mien Neeoed Mail Service. Steps are being taken to proenre a recommendation from the Postal Agent for a mail ronte from Oregon City via the Molalla, Abiqns, Sil verton, Snblimity, Scio, Forks of the San tiaui country generally, &c. The Postal Agent has promised his hearty co-operation. This route will embrace a thickly settled country, extending np the valley about seventy-five miles, which has heretofore been wholly without mail service, except by going twenty miles and upwards. to post oSici Efforts l-ave heretofore been made to ol the establishment of this route, bnt failed, as we believe, for want of a Postal Agent competent to so represent the matter to the department tbat they could understand it. The route is sadly needed, and wo hope the present attempt to secure it will result suc cessfully. . Abandoned.

And the democracy of Oregon are of ths opiuion that he has one too many offices now. We have yet to hear of the second democrat, who, upon being made ac quainted with bis conduct in tbe last can vass, has not said remote him. He says he can't be removed that Kentucky influence will keep him in. If tins was so, it would be au interesting fact, that Kentucky should impose officers npou Oregon against bcr will! This we suppose is one rendering of "popular sovereignty." Gen.

An unpleasant affair has recentlr occurred here, winch causes no little excitement in diplomatic and fashionable circles. An at tache of the Spanish Embassy has long been the admirer of the only daughter of a retired banker of Washington, or, nt least of the "bennz yfar de sa cassette." The father, for. reasons easily conjectured by all pmden parents, forbade the StianLsh Cavalier hi house. The Cavalier retired to his lodirinc-e. and wrote the banker a challenge, but could find no person to deliver it to him. On Tuesday night last, the banker was dining with Mr. Slidell, who occupies the next house to his own on Lafayette Square. While partaking of Mr. Slideli's hospitality, I. is servant came in and informed lam that two persons were hanging about his hoasc in a suspicious manner. The banker, who:n we will call Mr. C., requested las friend Senator Bright, who was of the party, to accompany him, and proceeded with that gentleman to his own residence. As he en tered tbe hall, he met his daughter, and proceeding to the picture gallery, which was lighted only by the hall lamp which shone throngb the doorway, he found a man snug ly ensconced under the piano forte. Seizing him by the collar, he dragged him from his biding place, and discovered him to be no less a personage than the Spanish attache.' He discovered that the aforesaid Spaniard was armed by a six barrelled revolver, which ho took from him and then kicked him in continent into tbe street. As he opened tbe door for this purpose, he discovered another person of the same "tribe" lurking about tbe entrance. At the present time the diplomatic corps are represented as sympathizing with the attache. If this be true, it only proves their esprit do corps to be greater than their sense of decorum. What other fate does any man deserve who skulks into your liouse.under cover of the night, with arms iu his hands, and when about to be discovered secretes himself like a burglar or an inceudiar Correspondence of N.

It seems to me that ha been Ktlsayed, aud Kclsay O'Mearaed. lias beea O'Meara has beea The Late Election-. We have not yet received fnl! returns from all the counties in the Territory, but sufficient is known to as sure ns of a complete Democratic triumph. The conglomerate fusion of all tbe various factions, together with the assistance of some disaffection in onr own rank, has been nnab'e to shake the confidence of tbe people in the efficiency of Democratic measures and policy to minister to the best interests of the eiuntry. It is also encouraging to know that no sectsonai prejufisces or personal issues nave contributed to this victory that, in fact, all these have been cast in the scale of the op position, and the contest has beea one of principle alone nsrainst individual aggrand izement and selfish interests, and the tri umph, one of an united organization over blind an 1 aimless faction?. The Democratic party in Oresron, comes out from this trial stronger and firmer than ever before. A more loostly constructed platform, a;id a more indefinite assertion of its fundamental principles might have swell ed its numerical strength; but we have tha satisfaction of knowing that we now number none bnt the tried and true. Traitor-:, too, have been tscgh a lesson that cannot fail to bo beneficial to the fature interests and welfare of the party. Foiled' in their selfish endeavors at disorganization, their example will be a warning o those who may, in time to come, be tempted to sacrifice their professed principles to the futile ambition of a temporary success-. To those who have "gone down" in the good canse, we need tender nothing bnt on? congratulations.

The Washington correspondent of theXew York Herald writing April 14tb, says: It will be attempted to get before the House at an early day, a Bill appropriating some five million of dollars in payment of the Washington and Oregon war debt. This qnestion wiil give rise to much de bate and I learn that the delegates from the Territories of Oregon and Washington am prepared to state authentically all the facts going to make np the history of the Indian outrages in that region tbe burnings and horrible botcherings of defenceless settlers by Indians, who even now set tbe Govern- ent at defiance, and the necessity wliieh ted for an organized defenee on the part of the Territories, the arm of the Gov eminent being too far distant for the instant protection demanded. A resolution was passed for tbe appoint ment of a commission to investigate and re port on the claim atising rut of the war the principle being conceded, it would seem that payment ought to be made; and this commission, consisting of. army officers and one citizen, sat at Vancouver for a year, and then made a full and detailed report to the government. Since then J. Ross Browne, special agent of the Treasury, has visited the Territories, and scrutinized tha accounts and the awards of the commission- It is upon bis report, I believe, that the measure is grounded. We shall have over agaia comment oo the spicy correspondence, between General Wool aud the Territorial officers and others. There will be strong opposition to tbe meas ure, but it will carry, I think, nevertheless. The claims are held as much, almost, by merchants and others ujtou the Atlantic seaboard, as uponTtbe Pacific slope.

They must study the daily newspa pers, and read the telegraphic dispatches if they would keep posted on the geography of the Un ion.
