THE EASTERN SEWS.
We never have had more exciting dispatches
than for the week past.
. The raid of the rejicls on the north side of
the Potomac to the vicinity of Washington and
Baltimore, has caused a terrible fright, bnt onr
later advices do not warrant the opinion that it
Is anything more than a horse and cattle steal
ing expedition, designed to furnish the rebel
armies with lie supplies which they impera
tively need, and at the same time cause the
withdrawal of a portion of Grant's forces to
the defense of Washington, and thus alTurd
relief to the sorely pressed army of Lee. 'The
number of rebels who succeeded in getting into
Maryland it now appears was much exaggerat
ed, and Grant coolly rays that he is nut to be
diverted from his original purpose by any non
tense of that tort. The raiders have succeed
ed in stealing a large number of cuttle, horses,
and bogs from the farmers of Maryland and
Pennsylvania, hut whether they can succeed in
getting the stock to where tho army at Itich.
mund can use them, remains to be teen. Gen
Banter is rapidly moving from West Virginia
with his forces to cut off their retreat, and the
oall of the President npou New York and
Pennsylvania for one hundred-days men is
meeting with response by thousands. If the

We have nothing from Grant for several
days. At last account he had pruolically sur
rounded Petersburg, nud was prepared to corn
tnenoe shelling the city. The next dispatches
are very likely to report the destruction and
capture of that stronghold.
The sinking of the pirate Alabama, which

THE NATIONAL DEBT.
We nro not of thnsu who oun look tipnii a
national debt ns a blessing. On Iho contrary,
we believe Hint for tiutioni hi well ns individu
als, Poor RichnruVs maxims nro sound policy.
But thcro are . emergencies In the lives of nil
individual! and of all nntiont when indebted
ness is the only meant of averting voice evils.
Tho preaent crisis it anoh an emergency in our
nutional history. Without the ate of our credit
we could not have carried on the war a day.
Now that the enormout cxpenaet of thia gi
gantic war are piling upon us a vast nationnl
debt, the copperhendt, true to their instinots,
reck to embarrnet the Government and weaken
the Union party by arouting the fean of the
people by predicting all tortt of imaginary ruin
in consequence of it. This it, according to
them, the pre-eminent ditnetor. It would be
nothing thould the rebellion get control of the
country, and a few Southern aristocrat! rule
the entire people nothing thould the Repnblio
go down !d a night. The only thing worth
considering it the debt. And when they come
to state the amount of it, their imagination
runt riot with the facts. Four, five, or six
thousand millions are their common figures.
Fortunately, we have the c.fficinl records to re
fer to, and thete are somewhat more reliable
than copperhead imaginations. Here it the

If the highest motive which should actuate
men It a mercenary one and thia appears to
lie about the bight and depth and sura of cop
perhead patriotism then we submit that the
copperhead argument of opposition to the Oov
ernmeiit because of the debt of six thousand
millions, is as devoid of force as any other of
their specious pleas. The debt is. shown b
the statements of tho Department to be only

therefore, without any increase of taxation,
pay all tho interest on the present debt, w ith
the additional debts authorized by. Congress

thirty milliuus a year left tt.wnrd paying the
current expenses of the Government. Our

to belittle or overlook it, lint it is not nearly up

protest against misrepresentations which make
it much larger than it really is.
Till VOTERS IMrOKTED IX TO POLK.
Tho Review, after vainly endeavoring to dis
tract attention from tho frauds of the party of
which it It a shining light, in Polk county, by
pointing to frauds a thousand miles or two
away, has at Inst had the hardihood tn deny
that any parties were hired by copperheads to
go into Polk county to vote. We know we
enough that the Review is not particular about
a falsehood or two when its tnnu,inay derive
benefit therefrom, and we long ago made up
our minds not tn be surprised at anything we
found in its columns unless it might lie some
noble, truthful sentiment bnt tho editor daet
startle us with the effrontery with which he
can tell a notorious untruth and swear tn its
correctness. A little more than two weeks be
fore the election, some noted oopperhead politi
cians went from Polk county to Portland and
hired a lot of rowdies, gamblers, and other vile
creatures, at $40 per head aud expenses, to go
up to Polk for the purpose of voting. These
men went there, were boarded among noted
copperhead politicians including some of the
candidates for office until election, when they
all attempted to vote, and most of them were
(very wrongfully, at we think) permitted to do
to. About the same time, sundry parties io
Pulk county and Id this town were engaged in
the same dirty basinets of employing ores
turet who were low enough to accept tuch ter
vioe, and a considerable number did go from
this county for the same purpose. These par
ties all remaiued in Polk county until election
day, and they all left on that day or tki next,
and have not retumtil. That they had no in
tention of becoming retidenli, is now plain, if
it Were before doubtful. Soma of The employ
ers failed to coiuo lo titno with the promised
compensation, and a noted secessionist of this
town bat been iiupnrtuued by more thau one of
the imported stock fur the pay they were aa
turetl should De lorinooiuing. indeed, we are
told that suit baa been commenoed by one of
them against the secessionist aforerauj within
day or two, before Justice Hatch, of this towu,
to recover the prior of hit vote.

ained, to deny them, proves that sheet to be a
narvel of cool Impudence, and an appropriate
Advocate ef suoh a cause at copperhead dw
oooraoy.

IHK SANITARY (.MSB. .
A gentleman in Linn uoiinly, wriling to us
upon business matters, adds the following:
" I vvreli i woulil hiMii,Ii in your tipeT the totul

It would bo very interesting to many bcaidos
our correspondent to know how much our little
State has contributed in this noble cause, and
if the information was within onr reach we
would bo glad to publish it, but it is not. The
earlier contributions were all, we think, for
warded to Mr. Molbreok. aud his practice was
for a time to give the total in- acknowledging
euoh successive addition. This wus continued
until, we think, April, 18G3, when the whole
amount received by him was about $26,000,
including the premium on the gold received
which he converted into currency. The pre
tuiutn wat stated at about $4,000. Since that
time, the Oregonian hat contained frequent
acknowledgment! of sums from various sou roes,
but no mention has been made of the totals,
nor have the acknowledgments of Dr. Bellows
been published. If we had a complete file of
the Oregonian, we might cull out of its col
niiina by considerable labor nn approximate
footing of tho total amount acknowledged by
Mr. lkillirook, but we have no such iile. The
amount must he large we roughly estimate it
at from $50,000 to $100,000.
But the money tent to Hulbrouk is not the
only donation by any means. The local soci
eties in Linn, Marion, and perhaps other conn
lies, the Ladies' Society of Portland, C. C
Reek ninn fur cjtizensof Southern Oregon, and
probably other persous whom we do not now
think of, have all sent funds direct to Dr. lie
lows, and not through the hands of Mr. Hoi
brook. It is not Improbable that the toto;l
amount raised in Oregon for this benevolent
pnrpose exceeds $150,000.
We trust that those who have had the mat
ter in charge will give tho public such state
ments ns will enable them to know what the
gift of Oregou to the good cause has been.
RESIGNATION OK MB. CIIASK.
We are yt-t somewhat in the dark as to the
immediate causes of Mr. Chase's resignation.
We are also unadvised us to whether hia suc
cessor Intends to inaugurate any new fiuauuiul
policy. From the transactions of the past ses
sion of Congress and the relations that exist
between different members of the Cabinet, we
may Judge nearly as to what brought about the
resignation. W bile Congress; had the bank bill
under consideration, it was tho policy of Mr.
Chase to exempt the branches of the national
bank from Statu taxation, while Mr, Fesseuden
led the opposition to that policy in the Senate,
and held that the creation of such banks free
from taxation would be an infringement of the
rights of the States. The act ion of "Congress
upon Ibis and nlher questions that arose after
ward, probably convinced the Secretary of the
Treasury that he could not be sustained iu
that policy w hich he felt to be the best and
safest one for ruisingin revenue and supplying
the government with funds fur carrying ou the
war, and not being willing to become 'the iu-
struiiieut for carrying out a uew policy, he re
signed. It is also probable that personal rea
sons had something to do with the matter.
Chase was fiercely attacked iu the House by
Frank ISIair, and deuouueed for insompeteney
and o irruption, nnd the President soon after
appointed liluir to a high command in the army.
while hit brother retained the positiou of Post-
Master General, enjoying the confidence of the
President, and at the same time taking actiro
part in tho war against Chase. Hit personal
friends urged him at that time to retire, but he
concluded, from patriotic motives, as ther al
lege, to retain hit position, hoping' that Con
gress might yet conclude to udupt hit policy.
But becoming finally convinced that there wat
no hope in that direction, nnd feeling uncom
fortable in the Cabinet with tome of itt mem
bers nt war wilh hiiu, he concluded to leliru.
But whatever mny have been the motives
that induced hit resignation, we can but feel
that he is succeeded by one who it competent
for the po ilion, and in every way worthy of
the nation's confidence. Ho acted at chair
inuu of the Senate committee on finance, and
Is perhaps as well posted in relation to that
delicato and important branch of our affairs at
any other inuu in the nation
Tub Gkiiman Piikss nut rox Fremont.
The impression is general that the German cit
ileus of Iho United States are almost unanl
inous for Fremont, hut it is without foiindn
tion, if the German press may be taken at an
iudex of the teutiment of the clast who read it.
The New York Staali Zcitung tayt that out
of the 320 German papers published in the
United States, ouly ten expressed a preference
for Fremont before his nomination. The San
Fraucisco Demohal has hoisted the names of
Lincoln and Johnson, and forcibly advocates
their eleotiou through ils editorial columns.
The Staatt Zcitung it the leading German
organ of the United States, and exerts a vast
lulluence. and the Demokrat bears about the
same relation to the Pacific th it the former
does to tbe Atlantic States. Fremont's sup
porters are fast vanishing by election he will
not have enough for a stuff!

Col. Hurry, with a surveying pnrly, bus been
gngcil for several weeks' in making a survey
of a route for the railroad to tontust Oregon
with California. We understand that the
work is being dono iu the most thorough man
ner, including tint only the mere line of the
route itself, but a complete reconnouianre of
the country for about four hundred yards on
eaoh sido of the Hue, fixing the topography of
tho country, tho position of dwellings, streams,
mountains, &o in short, compiling duta
which will onitblo a perfect topographical map
of the conntry through which tho Hue passes, to
bo made The routo dtbouchet into the Wil
lamette Valley through the " Sand Creek" or
Mulvnny" pass in the Calipnoia mountains,
crossing the head of the Siuslaw creek, on to
the head of Long Tom, thence skirting along
the foot-hills of the Coart mountains until it
strikes the maia Willamette valley near th
mouth of Long Tom. From this place it passes
down tho broad valley to Corvallis, and through
BenUin and Polk coonties via Amity to the
Yamhill river. The design, we understand, it
to proceed by way of Tunlatin Plains to strike
the Columbia river near St. Helen. The pro
jectort of the route appear to have exhibited re
markable skill in avoiding the principal towns
of the valley, Corvallis being the only oue-
which the routo touches, and if the route now
in process of examination is adopted, the whole
of the Willamette Valley abovo Long Tom
aud all the eastern pottion of it, including Eu
gene City, Harritbiirg,' Albany, Jefferson, 8a
lem, Oregon City, and Portland will bo do
prived of the benefit of it. It is soid-we
don't know upon what authority that Col.
Barry designs making a survey op the east sido
of the river, upon bit return.
We cull attention to nn advertisement in
another column requesting detailed iuforma
lion upon the soil, productions, amount of land
in cultivation, mines, and minerals, nnd vari
ous other subjects connected with the general
prosperity of Oregoni We hope a general re.
sponse to these interrogatories will be given by
well-informed persons throughout the Statu.
Statistics thus collected cannot fail to impart
much valuable information, which will be of
vast importance for other purposes than the
determination of the proper routo for the rail
road. We trust that general and full re
spnnses Will be furnished to the advertisement.
Affairs at Coos. Wo learn from a gen
tleman nf Coos Bay, that Messrs. Winchester,
Wnsson nnd others nre about to commence the
erection of a large saw-mill to run by water on
one of tho streams putting into Coot B ty.
The discoveries of copper npou Cues river,
some time ago, which caused so much excite
ment seem tn hnve been bogus. The " ore
that was sent to San Francisco for atony yield
ed 96 per cent, rock, 3) per cent, dirt, nnd the
remaining one half per cent, in doubt, but it Is
known that the copper is halo.
A fine schooner, the tonnage of which we do
not remember, was launched at Coo.-J.,n th
8th instant and another it to be commenced in
the same yard forthwith. Tho country around
Coot Bay affords at fine timber at any on the
coast and tbe harbor ia an excellent one. The
facilitiet for thip building aro not surpassed by
any place, from Queen Charlotte's Island, to
Cape St. Lnoas, and the same may be said of
lumbering. The Coos Bay cedar makes a very
superior article of finishing lumber which we
hliv "lie hurhaMT tbn nuv other in tbe San
Fraucisco market.
Coos County alio has ns rich a soil at any
county iu tne state, aim it only wants pnpula
tion sufficient in numbers and enterprise, to
olenr off the timber, to mako it one of the most
productive. We know of no locality which
now affords greater inducements to a hardy, en
lerprisiug population, It may yet beo::mo one
of the most wealthy districts iu tho State.

the 15th of August probably.
On his RbtUHN. Hon. John R. M'Bride
telegraphs to a gentleman of Salem that he
would leave New York by tho steamer Ocean
Queeu on the J3lh of this mouth. He mny be
expected to arrive at homo about the 13tb of
August.
It is not often the fortune of a young State
to be represented by a more Industiions, effi
cient, or worthier representative than Mr.
M'Bride. He has been xealous and untiring
in attending to the interests of the Stale iu the
national oounoils, and to tha interests of indi
viduals at tbe departments.
Gold ani Currency We have uo very
late advices as to the price of gold in New
York. The last quotation was 270. It hat
been 280. The speculator! seem to have run
the gold market of late entirely independent of
the fortunes of tbe war and a sucoest or defeat
hat nn effect upon ttie currency. Greenbacks
were worth 39 nd 40 ceutt in Sau Fraucisco
at latest datet. They are toarce here and a
few have been sold during the last week at 50
cents.
Error Corrkctkd. Our attention has
been called to a small error in the vole fur
Congressman as published by us. Henderson
has 59 votes in Coo County instead of 50 as
we -had it. Kelly's vote was 57. The differ
ence in the general result is small, but at a cor
respondent at Empire City complains justly
we think "It wat bad enough to get no more
thau two majority, but too bad to be represent
ed as beaten."
Mysterious Murder in Sacramento.
Oue of the miwt shocking murders on record
wat committed at Sacramento on the 5th of lb
present month, Oue George Shelby, a rauch
niau and teamster, was shot and killed while in
bed asleep. Hi wife was asleep beside him at
the lime and th aesastin appears to have had
lo reach over ber to hold tbe pistol to her hut
band's head. A man was seen rushing from
the premise immediately alter, but no clue to
the murderer hat yet been oblaiued.

TUB KTATK FAIU.
The committee'ure making exlensiyo prepa:
riillnns I'or Iho Fair next September. Several
new wcl s bavu been dug for supplying water
to tho iconic and stock, and additional builtl-
ugs are being erecled, thoso used last year
having been found utterly insufficient for tho
van's of the largo cnucourso of people which
gathered thcro last year. Experience has
shown the managers many ways in which their
arrangements can bo improved and they are
nut slow to adopt lliem. The crowd Inst year
was unexpectedly large and consequently wat
not to well provided fur In some respcott at it
thould have been, but these deficiencies will be
supplied this time.
Our correspondent, iu another column, com
plaint that the tendency it tn let our fairs de
generate into mere jockey olubs. While we do
not ugree with nil his ideas upon thia subject,
there is yet too much foundation for hit objec
tion. Tbe oulture and improvement of the
breeds of horses in this country ought to be en
couinged and fostered, but thia should not be
done at the expense nf other equally valuable
interests. Horse racing and borse showing
should not predominate to the exclusion of
other domestio auimals or of the products of the
farm, the garden or the dairy. ,
The remedy for this objeotionable tendenoy
of our fairs is in the hands of the farmers them
selves, far more than it is in the power nf tha
malingers. If farmers bring nothing but colts
and stallions tn the exhibition, only the lovers
nf horses will be attracted. But if they bring
their cows, their sheep, bogs, wheat,' oats, to
bacco, wool, fruit, domestio fabrics, butter uud
cheese everything in short which is produced
on a farm the' ornwd of farmers and farmers'
wives and farmers' children will be intereeted
aud each may learn something from what his
neighbor has brought.
We especially hope to see a bi tter display
both in quantity and quality of dairy prodnots.
Oregon ean produce and a few of her dairy
men do produce just as good butter and cheese
as Goshen or Cheshire, yet notoriously most of
the butt, r nnd cheese brought to market in Ore
gun towns is far short of tho best quality.-
Tons of both are yearly brought from New
York and California to Oregon and sold at
higher prices heoause the quality it superior.
A4I this is wrong and should be chunged, and
one of the best methods to stimulate improve'
ment is to exhibit the best specimens produced
at State and county fairs.
Farmers! if agricultural Fairs become dull
and uninteresting, or if they degenerate into
jockey clubs aud hone races, it it mainly your
fault! Bring on your agricultural products and
muke the Fuir an agricultural ouu in fact,
WAOOX KCAD TO 8ANTIAM.
A corporation bat been formed under the
name of the "Salem and DesChutet Wagon
Road Company," with a capital stock of $ 100
000. The design of the company it to oonstruot
a wagon road from tome point in the valley to
the quartz lead in the Sautiumiiountaini, aud
to extend the tame afterwards if necessary to
the.Dcs Chutes River, on the route to Canyon
City and John Day's mines. This is one of
the most important enterprises of the season.
aud we hope to seo it pushed along to comple
tion, so that heavy freight can be taken in to
Qunrtzvillo this fall.
We learn, also, that the people of Lebanon
aud vicinity have discovered an excellent routo
for a wagon road across the Cascades, a short
distance south of the nno which ilio 'eolrm
and Des Chutes Company" design opening, and
wilt have a force at work to open it in a few
days.
ty Our paragraph about the P. M. at Oak
land and the reply of himself and his amicus
curia, Mr. Crawford, appear to have created
no little stir in Douglas county and we have
received several private letters and communi
cations intended for publication about the mat
ter. We decline to publish most of thetn be
cause they mix up too many mutteis merely
personal with the point in issue, and we also
decline to publish the remainder' because the
matter is too unimportant to justify us iu watt
ing space upon i(.
The faott as we gather them from all sources
appear tn be, that Mr. Lord vot d in 1863 for
McBride for Congress and Miller for Governor,
and for Hardy Elliff, a notorious secessionist,
for Legislature, giving his vnto for tbe remain
der of tho offices to tho Union candidates.
Last June he voted for Kelly for Congress, all
the Uniou candidates for Legislature, nnd di
vided bis vute on the county ticket aboot half
and half between Copperhead and Union men.
This publication mnst satisfy those who have
interested themselves in the matter we cannot
give room to anything more upon a subject of
interest only to a small locality.
A Good Showino. Multnomah County
has $28,400, in her Treasury unappropriated,
of which amount 118,146. belongs to the
Building Fund," and $3,929 to the " School
Fund." Onlv 1 1, 447 of comity orders are out
standing unpaid. Not many counties, io or
out of Oregon, can show so good balance
sheet.
ItlAVT Fins Edward Tichenor has been en-aged
fur several years in culling timber for lumbering pur
poai t upon the public lands near Port Orford. He
was indicted and tried at the last term of the V. 8.
District court and the valua of the lumber aseeeied by
th jury at $6250. The law imposes a fine of three
times the value ol tht lumber, and imprisonment in
tht discretion of the court, not exceeding two tears.
The offender in thil ease was let off with tlx mildest
punishment in Ihe power of the court one day's im
prisonment and I8,7&0 floe. Rather costly lumber to
Tichenor.
01R SEmOBS.
The Washington Chronicle, tho administra
tion paper at Washington, has Ihe following
flattering notice of our Senators. At M r. Har
ding is nut candidate for re-election, we can
re publish the paragraph without suspicion of
design to assist him to the Senate again :
Hon. B. F. Harding, Senator in Congress,
from Oregou. left New York for his home in
that Stale, in the California steamer, about two
weeks ago. Mr. Harding deserves a warm
welcome at the hands of his loyal constituents.
Although not a speaking member of the Senate,
he has been constant and conscientious in fol
filling his dnties. Elected as a Democrat, like
hit colleague. Hon. J. W. Nesmilh, the other
and older Oregon Sena'tor. he and Mr. Nesmilh
have given Mr. Lincoln'! administration a val
cable and nngrudging support. Mr. Nesmilh
was early in hit manly resistance to Secession,
and. from the hour when the rebellion assailed
the flag, bat never wavered in givint Ihe Gov
eminent most effective support. There nay
have been occasions a hen the two Oregnn Sen
ators have not gratiftrd niero partisans, but
their course in general, has been independent
and above-board. The aid of such men to Ihe
eneral Administration in a time of war it far
imre important than that which originates io
Id party prejudices, or new official expect
ions. tyTbe Richmond Sentinel says there are
'tore than 3.000 women iu that city who art
; epl from starvation by charity.
CULMIHATION' AT HlhETZ.
F,i). Statkhmans I take pleasure in infnriii
ing tho public, generally that, notwithstanding
our repented demands on the commanding offi
cer nt Fort Huskins for sufficient powder where
with to celebrate the glorious Fourth, we man-,
ng'cd, by soliciting a contribution from each of
tho boys, liberally beaded by onr commander,
Lieut, Horssur, to raise money sufficient to pur
cbnsn all tho powder hereabouts. Wilh this,
wo loaded our little brass 12-pounder, nnd llred
thirteen bully rounds for tho thirteen original
Slates. Theilndinns were snmowhnt perplexed
nnd greatly amused to seo us bundle tne 'chick
chick calapeen.' ICvery report rolled around
tho mountains encircling tho Agency with
grund nnd beautiful effect. At the last report
died away, Lieut, lienor prnposed three timos
three for the Union, which wero given with a
will. Uncle Abo nnd Andy received three
routing cheers. Every man of Ibis detach
ment meant to support this ticket noxt No
vember. Through the liberality nod usual
kindness of Lieut. Horzer, we had an excellent
dinner, to which we did amnio lusfloe. Thus
you see that, although shut out from the rest of
muiiKinil, we never mean to let inuupeniienuu

of a purposo long entertained aud delayed only
