pul ill iher.
The columns devoted to rending matter alwnyi cunitltute
by far the (renter portion of the aliert, enablliiK uo lo lve a
more full and eomplftevummary of panlng eventi, than any
ottier tirwnpnper In the State,
Of the war newa, we shall give the freahett and fulliit dli
patohee attainable by tnonvy, enturprlse and clone at tuition.
Our summary of "PumeNlh) Items" is unrfVBlk'd, and our
In run corn po ml eiice from nil parUuf the Stale will cnnhlc
ui to aln-uys outdo competition.
We have numerous correspondents In all the mining d lit r let
who are re table men of practical experience and observa
tlon. Their representations, as published In the Statksman.
muy be relied on as strictly faithful.
The agricultural and other Industrial Interests of (he Slate
shall at all limes receive that attention at our hands to
which their prominence and Importance entitle them.
The miscellany will be selected with a view to cultivate and
gratify a proper reading tastt. VVe shall not confine our
selves to any particular fluid of selection, but make ue of
such matter as will must Ilk sly be of present Interest.
In politics, the Btatkhmam will be Independent, No clique
or faction wilt be permitted to coutrol Its opinions. It will
earnestly advocate the prosecution of the war for the preser
vation of the Union, and wilt under no circumstances consent
that the Government shall be destroyed by Internal or exter
nal foe. Kvery measure for the suppression of the Itebel-
lion, which our Judgment commends as tending to that end,
will receive our zealous support. While we yield such efforts
In belmtf of the Government, we rtmll also exerclne the rtghf
of temperate, erltlclsm of all measures which, In our Judg
ment, embody evil or danger to our republican Institutions,
The salvation of the government should he the first anxiety
of every patriot, and whatever threatens disaster to It, from
wliatever direction It may come, should meet with prompt
rebuke. It will be our constant effort to promote the right
and to make war upon wrong.
As an ttdvertlrtng medium, the Statmmah offers superior
Indue ments. Its circulation Is greater and more general
than any other pnper north of California. There Is not
neighborhood from Die Southern to the Northern boundaries
of the State, Into which It does not find lis way ; and we ex
aggerate nothing In saying lliat.lt has more constant readers
than have any other two j mninls In Oregon.
The terms oubscrlptlon and advertising will for the prrs
ent remain unchanged, when paid In coin. In ail cases
where Treasury notes are offered we shall charge rates that
will make the payment cpial to gold.
When payment Is made In advance (aud'we shall make It a
rule to not enter any new name upon our books except
where payment Is made In advance) subscription will be
charged $H,00 per year; -2,00 for six monihs, and I,(X for
three months; ft.OO will be charged where payment Is de
Inyed six months, and A"0 If payment Is delnyed one year.
Twvtity-flve per cent, will be charged for each subBto,tient

on the poiut of giving way belore Ihe robel ar

Wo nnd our readers bavo becotno to accus
tomed to tho doily mail considering it now a
fixed and permanent institution that it may
ho well briellv to notice tho somewhat heave
burdens borne by tho Stngo Company fur tho
lenelit ol tlio people of Oregon ami the Nnrlli
rn Territories, without, as it seems to us, a
corresponding compensation.
1 ho route Iroin i'ortliiuu lo bacriunento is
nut n regular one, according to tho usage of
the Post Ollice Department, lint was let by
special contract, cimiiiicuoing in September,
intiu. lor lour years, nt ninety tliousnml Hollars
per iiiiiiiiin. Under this, tho btago Company
or nearly threo years, has dmo its duty with
astonishing promptness, keeping ahead even of
the schedule tune allowed which Irom April
to December (eight mouths) is seven days,
nnd during tho remainder of tho yenr is twelve
dara. . , .
Tho money duo is paid in currency, of oonrso
thereby canning a loss of from twenty to thirty
per cent during tlio last yoar ; and as tlio com
pany is compelled to pay tnu wages ol nil tts
employes, and tho cost of everything it pur
chases, in coin, it w ill be rcudllv seen that tha
snorilien is vnrv serious. Kven ttlipii Mm noil.
tract price is pnid in ooin.ive doubt if the Com
pany receives more than it expends, as the
country through which Iho routo passes is so
sparsely settled that travel cannot bo expected
to pay, except, perhaps, during a very lew
weeks in tho yenr, anything toward the enor
mous expenses of keening up such a lino of
coaches.
It is also to bo remembered that tho Compa
ny distributes $10,000 in coin every mouth, in
wages, payment for rents nnd provender, and
thus really in its disbursements benefits our
coiiiiiiunily more than its stockholders. Under
these circumstances, wo think all will nuimt
that the Company havo a heavy bind to carry,
especially, whim Iho postmnslers along the lino
nro instructed to keep nil coin which conies in
to their hnmls, suliject to special order of the
Department, nnd we nro informed that no col-
it ions nro innilo In currency. , .
We hope that our Senators. Representative
nnd tho Delegates from tho Territories Inter
ested iu tho contract, will bo onrefnl and anx
ious to protect the interests of the Company,
which has become a matter of importance and
personal concern to us nil. It seems to ns that
they should insist upon a special net for the
payment iu coin or its equivalent, uf Ihe
utiiotiut due to the company, so that wo shall
bo sure of faithful nod responsible service nn
Ihe route, nnd also cause tho Overland Mail
route to be made a regular one, so that It can bo
let as such. Wv trust that they will not fail to
alii ml lo this, as wo fear there is danger lest
wv shall be thrown back, as to mail facilities,
whero wo wero three tears ago, and besides
Iho niiiinynueu and delnva which dim harassed
Ihe community, wo shall iu Iho State lose Ihe
disbursement and expeiulitnro of nearly one
liuuiireii nnd lilty thousand ilollnrs every year,
which now go to those who. In Mm Willamette

Kit. Gen. Hooker hns somo claim to the ques
lionalile honor of being styled Iho "Cleon" of
North America. Like bis Athenian prototype
he (ruined a command by nu unsparinir nnd un
dignified nhiise of men much belter nnd abler
than luiiiiell. II the Generals wero hut men
he said, they would mil ill low themselves In bo
baffled by difficulties so contemptible nt those
before which they recede. By these nrls bo
gained a command ; but here unhappily, the
parallel ends. Nobody supposed "Cleon" to
lie a great General, or even a vuliant soldier;
but "('Icon" did what bo undertook, and what
grent Generals and valiant soldiers hnd failed
to do, while Hooker railed qmte aa Ignonun
iuu.ly and with much better means at bis dis-
iiosnl lluni nny of bis predecessors. Defeats
nro the forluno of war, but it requires nn mili

Tho London Morning Star, alluding to the .
destruction of British cargoes by tho Alabama,
says : : - . -'t .. -i:
If British cargoes are wrongfully destroyed
on the high sens, we must have an accounting '
with some one either with tho incendiary who
applied tho torch, or his employer! who com- ,
missioned him to to act. Wo presume it is nn- '
nessnry to prove that the huruinr of a British 1
cargo, even when carried in an American bot-
torn, is ns nnlnwfjil ns Iho burning of a British
ship with British freight. ' While those nations
which have not jet acceded to the proposition
of tlio treaty of Paris may question tho right of i
the nentral flag to cover enemy's goods, it it
undoubtedly the law of nations that nentral j
goods found on board an enemy's ship mast be .
restored or paid for. In tho ordinary ease these
captures would have boon tuken to the nearest ,
prize. court of tho belligerent, and that which
was enemy's property would have been con
demned ns good prize, while that which was
tho properly of neutrals would have been re
Stored. ' '
Sonimos wages wnr without the usual respon
sibilities of belligerents. Having no prize court
open to him, ho assumes a part hitherto un
heard of in maritime warfare, noting in the op-'
posing capacities both of enptor and Judge.
To whom, then, cau tho British suhjeott who
have boon wronged apply for redress J They
oannot go to a Confederate Prize Court, for no
such court exists. They cauttot go to Semmes
the wrong doer, for ho, it a mere rover of the
seas never withiu tho territory of any civilized
State for much moro than forty eight hours to
gether. Clearly the redress can only be ob- ,
tinned at the hands of the British government,
and Parliament must seo to it that a remedy be
lortliwith lound. Tho surety or onr comtneroa
equally with the honor of the country.demandt
an immediate investigation.
1 ho Alahaaia is cither a pirate or a Confed
erate ship of war. If the former, she may be
hunted down by any nation whose subjects or '
cnintneroo she molests nay, all nation) are '
tree to avenge tho wrongs or any one ol the
family, ns a pirato is tho common enemy of'
mankind. 1 it tins view the lirituh rovernnieinr
necnlinrlv bound lo nut a sneedr stoo to her
career, as alio was built in England, manned la
ngland, armed with bnghsh gqns, and sop. i
lied with English stores. Thnt sooh a ship
linnld bum a British cargo it an offense which
irinirs her orew under tho nenallv of death.
But Captain Seinines might flaunt in the face
of hit captors a commission from Jeff. Davit
to burn, sink and destroy, nnd claim tho rights
of a belligerent iu ulnoo of tho deserts of a cor
sair. Ho might refer ns to hit government to
tho slnveholding Junta who rule for a moment
over a portion of the United Status. Notwith
standing nny such plea, wo might, with perfect
right and propriety, tirst seize the ollending
vessel before making nny communication to the
bclliircrcnt eoveriiiiiunt. A bellieeretit which
engages in a maritime war without having a ;
port open to which it oan take prizes lor adju

lion to this, there have been sundry losses in
Virginia, Tciiurssco and Mississippi, which
would swell Iho aggregate to nearly 100,000.
Tho most of these figures wo hove from offioial
reports. Admitting them to be correct, the
Confederate armies have lost within the last
six weeks about two-sevenths of their whole
number, without allowing anything for deser
tion, which is said to have been going on quite
xtcusiveiy. lint it a leariul lots lor suuh a

scriptiou can no longer be relied upon to make
it up. lor Deiidet the lact that It is Doing rela
ted successfully in several of the insurgent
States, thero is not much material left for it to
draw upon. An artiulo in the Kiohinoud Sea
Unci, uf Juno 20th, which is copied into the
Lantern papers, admits that tho plan, of tho
summer campaign comprehended the withdraw
al lo t no liontiers ol ihe regular troops pre
viously detailed to guard aud protect theoities, .
Ihe defence of which win intrusted to voltin- .
leer associations id tlio militia at home. What
a weak reliance this is, may bo inferred from
th proposition of tho Sentinel to enroll and
drill hoys Irom twelve lo cightoeu years or age,
whn, it contended, could be "wudo efficient
soldiers iu a sudden emergency to aid in the
iiclciice ui me city nnd its environs." It mat
ters uro reduced to this past, we think it safe
to nssuiiiu mat iho reliel armlet oannot be ma
terially recruited, and that they will Irom this
time nu constantly grow weaker. In addition
to their recent heavy lost ol men, they have
sustained nu immense and irreparable loss In
artillery aud ammunition. What the extent of
Uni latter may lio cannot be precisely estima
ted, but Ihe number of guns captured is given
in the reports of onr (ienerals quite accurately!
