The Louisville Journal lets the wind out of those radicals who aro jubilating over the "fmanoipation triumph" in Kentucky I "We are told that there aro some few, some ycry few aspirants of tlio legislature, who, call ing themselves Union men, are not opposed to the President's emancipation proclamation. If there aro any such, and if they would In good faith serve the Union cause, let thorn, for the sake of that cause, get or keep out of the wy. They are, as they must know, at direot istte upon lha matter wilk the Union party of Ken tucky. There is no emancipation proclama tion party in this Slote, and one can't bo crea ted. There is no parly hero that goes for the proclamation as either a political or a military measure. The body of our population believe it is injurious to the nation in its military one ration, and, if possible, to it politically. No well inCprmed man doubts but that it helped to divide the people of the North, who, before it was annouueed as forthcoming, were ns a unit, but now uro separated into parties, and no one can entertain a rational doubt that it has des troyed or rather stilled every Union feeling in the South, iuflaming the inhabitants of Hint section to the point of frenzy and desperation. Besides, the permanent execution of lite meas- UIV ItUUlU lUlUlVO tfcv Ut.-.A.... u, of government and Hie extinction ol the nation. Every voice raised in favor of tlio proclamation in Kentucky is a voice tending lo the promo tion of the rebel cause. Let no such voice be raised in our next legislature. Let no owner of such a voice lu sent to that body. He would bo a pestilent disturber of Union couenrd. Let him enjoy the sound of his o u voice, but enjoy it outsido of the capital." Turns as Preaching. We find in one of our exchanges the following extract from tlio Chicago Tribune, A republican newspaper. It is exactly applicable to one or two of the office holders of this State, one of whom resides at Astoria, and spends his time in il rawing his salary nnd dictating tests of loyalty never he fore heard ol outside of a fanatical faction of disonionists. The Tribune says of suj;h moil : "In s long politicul experience we have uni formly observed that office-holders who, wlion their actions are criticised, get mad aud abu sive, and by way of diverting attention from themselves, charge those who presume toqii 'S tion their infallibility with being disappointed or disloyal politicians am either weak and in competent or wicked, and deserving thorough rebuke and removul. ucli functionaries aro very apt to imagine that they are the gnveru-mi-lit, aud seem disposed lo assume supreme authority, forgetting that Ihey are only public servants, and ought to be Civil nnd respectful, instend of domineering aud despotic. They also often when they suggest suspicions ngiiinst the fidelity of others, who disapprove their course cause their own integrity to be justly doubted, nnd the question is not inaptly afked whether their professions of patriotism are not bought with the wages of office." CAMP LIFE. A Queer Cup of Coffee. I soon had an opportunity to Judge for myself, having accept ed an officer's Invilutioit to take coffee lu his tent. Capt. II. was very proud of bis table. His cook was said to be the best in the camp, his only fault being a disposition to a careless mixture of ingredients. "There, sir," said the Captain, banding me a brimming cup, "I'll warrant you'll find that equal to anything you ever drank iu Paris.'? 1 tasted. The Captain saw something was wrong. He tasted. His couutenance assumed a stem and mortified ex pression. John was called and ordered to in vestigate the cause of the villainous tasto of (he coflcc. The next moment he reappeared. bidd ing the cofloo pot in his hand. "(Jell, he ja bers. Captain," said he, "its mcself that's mor tified to death. I cooked the bowl of me ould pipe in yuur coffee this morning, and that's the innocent cauio uf the bad taste iutirely !" How the Sommkrh Sleep. When the camp is laid out and the little tents are pitched, the soldiers spread their India rubber blankets on the ground, cover these with their woolen blankets, place their knapsacks for pillows and throw themselves down without further Cere mony. Where the land is high and dry, there is not much danger of taking cold ; but the camp is often located from necessity In low and marshy situations. I have seen tents that were protected from the surrounding water by little dykes, the camps presenting tlio oppcarauco of A canvas Holland city, in wntiii. according to Butler, men do not live but go on board. But such cases are happily rare. Most of the camps at ltonnsboro were situated on high and pleas ant ground. Cir. X Y. Pott. Lf.oai. Aiivikkh to OtK FoitEins Min ister.

Solicitor of the War De partment, will leave in Wednesday's steamer as an accredited agent of the United Stales lo the Courts of huropc, aud as commissioned le gal adviser of our Ministers in England aud France in reference to matters of great im portance. A fleet of powerful iron steamers is now being fitted out al Jlutlonwood, in Great Britain, which arc supposed to lie Intended for the rebel navy. The Visit of Waiting has, probably a direct reference to this fact. . AUG. 31, 18G3. A Trip to the Coast. Ed. Statesman i On tlio hottest day of the warm month of July, four enthusiastic Individu als relinquished the stir and buttle of the city to retire to old ocean's shore, where they might snuff the fresh sea breezes and bathe their limbs in the briny deep. The party was composed of an at torney and a barrrisler, who, though bright and shining lights at the bar, had given np their ex tensive practice forsaking Blackstono and Kent for the nobler beauties of nature, and two Nim. rods, who wcro charmed by visions of slaughtered deer and elk. Many an imaginary salmon and spockled trout frizilod ill the frying pan, while camp Kettles overflowed with oyster soup oager to be swallowod and crabs to be devoured. Whales would roll and spout for our special accommoda tion, whilo ships and oosan steamers would pass by full rigged and under sail i per chance, the gcritloirianly" Captain of the Alabama might give us a can, who knew 1 Of course, tbe bag gage was proportioned to our expoctatlons-each member of tlio party being armed with various instruments of death, including fishing tackle, fire-arms, and a bottle of "Oh, be joyful!" In addition, an unusual amount of flour, meat, blank ets and other necessaries wero provided for bodi ly comfort. Thus cquiped, we left Salem "the city of peaco" amid the cheers of an adtiil lnir ana cntiinsmstio ernwd of bummers, and, cross. ing tlio flowing Willamette on a rickety scow, we commenced our journey. From 8alem to Bethel we traveled directly northwest over an excellont road, through a hilly country, interspersed with fruitful orchards, thrifty farms and elocsnt houses. Occasionally a dilapidated shanty, surrounded by dirt nnd weeds and inhabited by some zealous secesh, would disgrace the lnndacape. Standing on tbo kills above Spring Valley1, the traveler bo holds one of the flnost scenes in the State. Marlon county and a considerable portion of I'olk are spread like a map beforo him, whilo midway bo twecn the two, the Willninetto courses like a thread of silvor. Far to tlio northeast tlio otor nal snow of Mount Hood sparkle iu the sunlight, while tho mellow tints of an Indian summer full dreamily over tho dark woods, rolling prairies, waving grain and gliding rlror. Proceeding forward, we soon camo to tho im portant city of Bothol, situated at the foot of the bills anddistant 10 miles from Salom. Inquiring 'or the Mayor, we were Informed that thore woro only two men In the place and thoy were not at homo. From Bethel wo turned southwest on a rond straight as a gun barrel and very dusty. Hero the scenery was flat, the country monotonous and tbe sun intensely hot: but we kept our spirits up by pouring Me spirits down, and pushed cheerily forward. The farmers appear to have made a league ngninst all travelers, for it is a romarknble peculiarity that for miles not a hoitso is situated on tho rood. We became thirsty and tired j but no orchard bloomed with juicy fruits, no water sparkk'd in tho light, no wolcome shade appeared. and foot sore and weary we trudged on through the dust and heat. . Hut "the dreariest road has an end,"and soon tho scene changed for tho bet ter the Coast Range looinod up blito mid dark with shaggy forests nnd waving smoke t the fields resounded with tho song of the reauer and ib ring of the scythe, while far and nonr the coun try gavo evidence of its splendid harvests and overflowing granaries. Soon the shades of even- ng began to fall, and we struck our camp firo besido tlio beautiful stream of Mill crock, Si miles from Salem. Hero our visions of trout nnd game wero fully realized! tho tbickots wore thronged will, grouso nnd pheasants tho wheat fields wero filled with quails, while the pigeons cooed from the top of evory trno. The skill of tho two Nimrods soon provided an amplo feast of those, and after a delightful supper and an invig orating swim in the creek, we Rallied forth with line and hook in pursuit of trout. Approachlnz a dark covo, gently falls the bait in the wntorj a moment s sllonco, a strong pull, nnd a beautiful fish lies gasping on the shore. Returning to our virtuous couches, we full asleep amid w hispering breezes, shining stars and murmuring brooks. In the morning "wo rose with the lark," break fasted, parked tip, and pushed onward. Crossing the South Yamhill on a fine bridge that appears stntmrh enough to resist all the floods which can be hurled against it, we fallowed tho course of its winding valloy and reached this portals of Fort Yamhill. Tho Fort is finely situated on the side of a hill sloping to the west, nnd commands a view of the entire Grand Rondo Valley. Every thing appears scrupulously neat and clean, and over all waves a splendid flag, thoenibleni of pro tection To while man mid nigger, ' To soldier nod digger. We were informed by the sentinel that It is 27 miles to Sulem, 14 miles to Long Prairie and!l miles to the ocean. Marked Improvement is manifest in the condition of the Indians: each one lias his home and fluid of grain. Yet ovary thing seems constrained as though they wore drivon to their work t and the appoarauce of their hovels Is disgusting in the extreme. They are fit habitations for wolfish dags, dirt, aiwashes and other vermin. From tho agency out, thn road can only be described as up one bill and down another. On all sides the country presents a wild and mountainous appesranco covered with a prolillc growth of fern snd underbrush while giant trees shut out the sun. All ywma one vast sulitmloi an unbroken forest, stretching away In the distance and only moved by tho sea breezes that nro ever stealing through it depths. At last Salmon river is reached; a noisy, babbling stream filled with huge boulders and sharp rocks. After crossing this five times we reached Long Prairie. This Is a quiet vsllry, situate between two ranges of mountains, w olL,wali:red and wood ed, and abounds in fine grata. This is the ter minus uf the wagon road. II -yoml, the road de generates into a bridle path abounding in cliffs and stumps, while huge lugs encumber lha way. Time found us toiling up the Jul and hlghoat mountain, where every ascent was the beginning of a loftier one I but the summit was gained, and what a magnificent spectacle burnt on the view I Dashing its spray over the rocks at our feet and stretching far away until sky and waters mot, lay Ihi dark blue bosom of tho Pacific, while the heavy roar of the surf echoed from below. On our right was Salmon river coursing its way lo the ocean ; ou our left a shining lake, and before ns the beach. Three miles south of Salmon riv er, just shove the beach, we camped In a snug little valley, shultornd from lha winds, containing plenty of grass nnd water and commanding a fine view of the ocean. I'leasant would he the details of our varied esp'erlenroe on the coast in eluding a visit to Silels, swimming In the surf, and other adventures more laughable than agree ble, but want of space forbids. Let us say to travelers, beware of Salmon ! beware of Silrts ! with its miserable, greasy, extortionate, remnants of humanity, termed diggers. In the valley spoken of, is the bust camping ground on the eoait, where the smooth beach, beaten hard as a floor by the action of tho waves, forms an agree ablo place for a stroll or rtdo. The sands are covered with vast quantllios of drift wood, heap ed up fer years by the storms. Intermingled with tha drift aro tho masts and spars of vessels, bringing to the imagination visions of disaster and wreck. Great numbers of sea birds walk lazily over the beach or rock themselves ou the rolling surfneo of tho tide, while tho constant urging of tho waves, dashing of the spray and roar of the surf Interest both the eye and car. Ships are frequently passing within sight of land, ' appearing as dark spots borno uneasily on the ocean and showing how Insignificant are the works of art compared with those of nature. But the crowning glory of all is a sunset at sea! The huge masses of fog drift away on either side and the waves are dimpled by the flood of golden light, mull, likn a lurid ball of fire, the sun slow ly sinks to bis ocean bed, and "leaves the world to darkness and to me." Turning our fucos homeward, we soon reached Salem, covered with dust and bronzed by the sun, ' but feeling vigorous, healthy and strong. For the benefit of the traveling public, we aro happy to announce that a party from Fort Yam hill is now engaged In clearing tho road and mak ing it available for wagons as far the coast. They will also construct a fishery at the mouth of Sal mon river and render tho plnce one of amusement and profit. MM HOD. Tim Franking Puivilkor.

'An Intkrf.htinu Revenue Decision Ono of the most interesting questions that have yet arisen in reference to the Income Tax haa just been decided by Commissioner Lewis, in a, correspondence with the Assessor of the Fif teenth District of this State. Tho gist of the decision is that different branches of bcsinesi aro Independent of each other, nnd that a loss, hy firo or otherwise, sustained In ono does not entitle the pnrtAo a deduction in tho other. 1 litis, If A II C had an income nf five thousand dollars, of which three thousand was for busi ness and two thousand for rent of houses, if (lie latter should he destroyed hy fire, causing to him a loss of five thousand dollars over and above all insurance, he would still be liable to taxation on the three thousand dollars received .

An old man, sixty-five year of age, then mounted the stand and proceeded to address .: the people. Hi broken accent showed that he was a German. He said that he bad been six teen years in tho service in the old country, aud wished he wns youug enough to fight now for liberty In America.

O'er the luod of the free and the home of tbe brave." tV We cxtrnct the following matter from the letter of Custine, the Sacramento Union's correspondent, dated Now York, Jnly 28th ! Speaking of the Draft. We are yet waiting for it here, and many of ' the enrolled cannot get off on their Slimmer jaunts for the reasnu that they must be here to appear in ciiso tlicy should he Among tlio drafted. From 'present appearance one would judge that tho draft now being made will fail to bring into tho (orvioe A sufficient number of men. The enll is fur .'100,000, but the exemp tions for the disability aud for paying the sub stitute sum are so numerous that nearly two thirds of the original draft is laid Aside, and it now bks ns though wo would not realize more thnn 100,0110 from ihe draft of 1100.000. In litis view of the case no iiirv reasonably prog nosticate a second or third draft before long, when we shall huvu Vuiious interesting ques tions Ustcd as fur instance : If a drafted mnn furnishes his substitute he i a exempt from all succeeding draft a though bo had rone into the ranks himself, is lie not t Certainly, fur his substitute is a substitute iu fact. Now. ' if he pays fitOO lo Ihe Government, instead of going hiuifelf -or furnishing a substitute, the theory nf Ihe law is that the sum paid is tu be used hy Ihe Government for the purpose of procuring a snbstittitu fur the drafted man who pays the (:)00. But will the payment nf the sum free tbo payer from all liubifitic under fu ture draft t Quirnsabet It i perhaps, not specially crcditnhle to oar patriotism that a decided majority of tho draft ed nro applicants for exemption, on the ground of physical disability or by pnying the fee. The fact is. beforo the draft was made, nearly everybody began to talk over the various ex pedient' by which Ihey wero to get out of tbe anticipated scrape, and uoliody ever talked uf going to the war, but, at Ihe worst, consoled themselves with the thought that Ihey could cat-ape the (crvico by paving a sum of money. The reason nf litis tuny be found not iu the unpopularity of tho war but tn the unpopu larity of the service It Is a notorious fact that the fighting and marching nf the rank and file is very hard wurk. The frree-born American ci'ien ohnfe and fret under the arbitrary rule of even uch impcrfcei military discipline as we have In our army, and the well-fed ooiu fortnble citizen cannot stomach tho hard fare and disagrrmens nf A cnuip life; bis gorge rises against pork and hard (tread, and dirty ami lousy associates. Marching In the hot suu with musket on shoulder and knapsack on back appears to be a hard and Indirect mad to glory, and though Ihe patriotic spirit 1 willing, the ileeh is very weak. We all want Ihe re bellion crushed, the war brought tu a victor iou end. and Jelf. Davis hung on a sour apple tree, but when told to trend the dnsty road which leuils to those probabilities we fail to see it in that light. However, there are exoeptiou tn . the general rule. And the drafted citiieiis uf Philadelphia, Auburn, and other places, who huzza fur Ihe draft aud sing peau of jov over their owu i elation upon tho altar ol their country, are thus proving that the breed of earliest patriots hi not altogether extino', nor the nation yet becomo A race nf comfortable cowards. The decision of Ihe Provost Mar shal Generul that black substitale cannot bo accepted fur w biti! drafted men has left spun me nanus ui divers persons a great number of umily-elephnnt. Having bought their black menagerie at A luw figure, Ihey must uow sell out on the best terms which Ihey can make, for Colonel Fry says that a substitute must have tlio saniu statu as that nf tho drafted man. Negroes, bviiig paid less, organised dilfcrctitly and given Irs bounty, cannot lie regarded a Ihe equal uf the while soldier, after all that haa been said and dout.
