Maury, nf the 1st Oregon Cavalry, ny that tho ulea prevail! that thoro ii "no 'lifoemity lor more troopi indeed that to keep troops in thii District is a useleai expense," oco.. o. Ever- person ao- qnnlntcd with the wanti of the frontier, onder- siunus now une men romama are. lint I uesire tn iny distinctly that more trnnpi arc necessary, and that wo have next lirmtr nnd innimer important work lor the Or egon Cavalry to perforin. 1 shall recommend to the General command ing the Department, that troopi be lent to tra verse thoroughly the whole roeion between An num and Cnnynti City and the California line. I hope to put two expedition! in the Held the whole season fur turn purpoie, againit the Snake Indians. One from Fort Dulles, loiith- easterly, and one front Fort Roue, westerly and south-westerly. I shall alio recommond a movement from Fort Klamath easterly ; but as that poet is not iu my District, I cannot speuk so definitely in rvlerence to it. Thus yen will perceive that it is hoped that the troops will he able to assist tho mining pop ulation in prospecting, occupying, and explor ing tlmt portion of Oregon east of tho Casoade mountains, which Is now aoentre ot great in terest tn tho publio on this coast. It contains, no doubt, immensely valuable mineral doposits. It is doubtless tho intention of the brave and hardy miners to explore it, in any event. It is my earnest wish to give them all the assistance and protection in my power. To aid in such an interesting development should be the aim and policy of the Government. Besides tho ordinary wants of the Indian frontier, we shall also require troops for the fortifications new building at the month nf tho river. 1 am just advised from Department Head quarters that a small expedition will probably be sent from Lapwai next summer to explore the route from Lemhi (tho Mormon Fort) to the month of Big Horn on tho Yellowstone. Until the 1st March next, large bounties are given to recruits; $302 for . thnio who enlist, uuel to those who ro enlist. Tim is by recent legislation of Congress, of the 12th ulti mo. Tlini, now ii the time for adventurous spirits to join the lit Oregon Cavalry. Exoept Iron) the snakes, no Indiun troubles are now anticipated. Those who may lightly eay that troops are not wanted, are utile aware how much the profound peaoo nnd security which now reigns on our whole Indian frontier, is due to the movements of tho troops, and es pecially of the Oregon Cavalry during tho two last summers, l or two summers (Jul. Mnury, with the gallant and efficient regiment under Ins command, lias tukeu tlie fluid upon tlie em- igrnnt road, liu was ordered to remain out until October. Ha did come iu prematurely only to bear of a massacre of emigrants in hit rear. In May lust, six companies of troopi wero assembled at Fort Lapwai on the Nez Pcroci reservation to attend tno great Council con vened to effect a new treaty with that tribe. These troops were not so much needed for in fluence over that tribe, although it was well to hold in ral'ttary cheek the wurlike minority of me i ez 1'eroes. nut tlie Council was attended by runners trom all tho surrounding tribes. Most of thorn had (as tho Pelouse, Yakimas, Cccur d'Alcncs, Cuyuses, &o.,) been onoo at war with us, while the Nez 1'erces had remain ed friendly. They were eagerly waiting the hour when tho Nez Forces would strike, as, if they would only say the word, many allies full of ancient grudges would cluster around them from those tribes, hugely delighted at the pros pect of getting tho Nez Forces into a right. The establishment of tho military nost Fort Lapwai in October, 18(12, and this assemlilaire of troops at Lapwai had a must salutary effect, evincing thut tho power of the Government was not Kno, as the rebel sympathizers bad endeavored to instil. An ouneo of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and those movements may have frustrated hostile combinations. Col. Mnury proceeded from Fort Latiwai through the Salmon River country to Uniie, auu inenccon me Emigrant Koail. In Uelo her, 18IJ2, the moment I knew of the first dis coveries, of gold ueur Boise, 1 wrote to the War Department recomiiicmlinir the establishment of Fort Boise. Iu January the orders of the Seoretary of War wero received for the estab lishment ot that post. In June it was estab lished, aud it will always bo an important and central point iu reference to the defence of that ironller. In February. 18(13, it was arranged with Cuptain Crawford when he started fur Wash ington City, that Colonel Manry with his com mand should meet ( t tn at the crowing ot hitnlte river, above Fort Hull, between the l.'ilh and 20lh of August. All the arrangements were made accordingly, and they met at tho same ferry on the 17th ol August lust, at tho tame moineut of time. Cul. Maury returned on the south side of Snake river, sent expeditious up the Brunnenu and Malheur, and reached Fort Walla Walla on the 20th of October. 1 am happy to say that thus the most efficient prelection has been given to the incoming emi grations of 1802 and IHG.'l. Tho gallnnt spirits of the 1st Oregon Cavalry, who have borne like good soldiers the hardships ol tlie cam paign, are entitled to my thanks fur the elli ciciit aud cheerful manner in which they have discharged the duty, although they bad not the good fortune to meet an enemy.

' FROM THB SACRAMENTO UNION. : Bill for the Election of Congressmen. Washinoton, Jan. 7. Thaddeus fitcveni baa introduced a bill in the House which proposes to make a law of Congress fixing the time of holding elections for Kepresoutotivui to Congress all over the Uni ted States upon one day tha second Tuesday iu October preoediug the beginning of the now Congressional term beginning with next Oc tober, when elections for tho Thirty-ninth Con- gress shall bo had, An exooption ii made, owever, fur the year in which a Prosidontial cleotiou shall occur, in which ft shall ho hold on the sailo day. The bill further provide! that all Judgei of Eleotion shall send to tho Clerk uf the I Ion so of Representatives similar oopiei of returns to those sent to tho Seoretary nf State in each State iu which an eleotion for Congressmen ii hold. Another section pro vides that soldiers, volunteers and drafted men shall he allowed to vote for a member of Con gress fur the district in which they would have a veto if at homo. Judgos of Election are to be ohoson iu each regiment by the men, and detached companies uru tn bo allowed to pro oecd in the same way. The usual checks on illegal voting, the lurins, oaths, hours of open ing the polls, etc, nre prescribed ; nnd it is further proposed that each ballot shall show the name of tho State, county, number of Con gressional district, regiment and company of each voter upon it, and doublo lists nf the same shull be kept by the Clerks of Eleotiou, and returns shall be lent to tho Clerk of the Home of Hoprcsentativci and to the Seoretary of State nf each State a Commissioner being ap pointed by tha Governor of eaoh State to fa cilitate such -transmission and to attend to the business generally. Severe pennltiei nro at tached to any invnidon of the rights nf rotors, or negleot of duty in the premises by the com. manning oflicors, who are obliged to facilitate by all means tho business of the election. With some modulations, the bill is very likely to become a law, as it meets a want lung felt iu two of its important particulars. Concerning the Pacific Senators. Up to this time Senator Connesi has remain, ed very quiet under all provocation!, evidently considering that it would ha mora discraet, as well as politic, for him to take no prominent part in the current debates. Harding nnd Nusmith hnvo made np their minds to go into the Union caucus, so that r pruaoh against them will be removed. Hnrtling avows his determination to stippnrt Lincoln fur tho next Presidency, believing him to bo the safest and most available candidate of any man named. Some aspirants fur Senator Harding's scat may be glad to know that ho does nut propose to ha a candidate for re-election.
