According to recent statements of G. F. Strong and Dr. Hel lows the treasurer end presiden t of the sanita ry commission, the total receipts for that noble charity, from Nevada territory, bare been $ !)2 (HK) in gold; from Oregon. 843.051 43 iu gold and greenbacks; from Washington territory, $I8,ti.")0 !Xi in greenbacks. We find the above in the San Francisco Bui letin, nf August 11th. Mr Holhronk was reported In the Oxonian lately, to have said in a public meeting at Port land, that he bad sent to Dr. Bellows IM.OOO, whether in greenbacks or gold wssfflot ipeviGed. There seems to bo a discrepancy of about 7, 000 in the two accounts, which it would be in terestiug to the contributors to have reconciled. But besides this amount remitted, or said to have been remitted by Mr. Holhronk, other largo amounts have been sent from this stale by various individuals. J. H. Maorre, of this city I C. C. Beekman, ol Jacksonville; tho In dies' sanitary aid society, of Portland; the Linn county society; E. Cartwright of Lafayette, and others whose names) do not occur to as, ill have transmitted contributions, the aggregate of which must be large. If Mr. Holhronk has tent $52,000. aud Dr. Bellows only accounts for $4 ,000 there most be at least twenty thousand dollars unaccounted for.

VOL.U-NO. 20. Til IC SlMf.VUV VAIK. There havo been some' dilfcrcucoi among the real friends of the Sanitary oausu aa to the pol icy of holding a Sanitary Fair during tho Ag ricultural Fair, in September, After mature consideration, however, and at the earnest so licitation of persons iu different parts nf the State, tho Aid Soviuty of this comity issued a call for inch a fair, which baa bceu published in several papers. From the nttcntinu the matter is receiving in all parts, we havo no doubt it will be a success. Patriotic ladies are giving it their attention, and word of encour agement nro coming from all directions.. Ar rangements arc being made to establish oil tho fair ground, a restaurant, tho proceeds nf which are to be given to tho cause, Besides this there is to be a department where articles of al most every possible character may bo exhibited and sold ut auction, or otherwise. There is, wo may say, scarcely a man or woman in the Statu that may not, with a little thought, fur iiish something for this department, Here every deportment of our resoti:ee should ho represented,. livery branch of industry, from agriculture, to the must uccompliidied median- ism, should furnish its tnito in aid of this noble enterprise. Let every comer of our Stuto be represented. Let busy fingers work, and busy aiiuds contrive; that the pavilion may bo in teresting to visitors aud a source of revcuue to this noble charity.. There will bean auction for the salo of articles at soiuutimo during the exercises, aud if attain are properly managed they may be made a source of amusement and instruction, us well us pecuniary profit. .; We suggest that many articles, alter being display ed for premiums at tho fair, might bo turned over to the Sanitary department aud made to draw new premiums under tho hammer of the auctioneer, for the benefit of the nation's bleed ing defenders. It is truo that wo havo already given liber ally to this noble charity. Our young State has a record uf w hich she may be proud. The advocates uf tho wounded tohlier'i oausu huvo never called in vuin upon her generous citizens. Yet, while wo think" of this, there are two oth er things which we should remember what wo have given has beeu mado up of mites from our abundance, we have uot felt it loss; while others havo given all, eveu tlieir lives for the oause in which we feel to deep an interest. Aud also that the necesi:y for giving now is as urgent as it ever has been. So long aa bloody battles are being fought, fatiguing marches made, and the blood of bravo men poured out iu the truck of furious war, just so long must our charity continue to flow liku the stream whoso source is fed by never failing springs. The object of the proposed fair is uot simply to make a uisplay, but to u3Wd all tho people of i.ur State, blessed as they aro with peace and plenty, an opportunity to manifest anew their devotion to this humane and noble causa. Wo would say to our readers then, as this movement has been commenced, let it be a success. The credit of our ii'itte is now at stake ; wo have tuid it uud Wu mutt do it. We have passed the Rubicon And must "march on." We (rust there will bo an uprb iug of the peo ple iu this matter, and that the brave men who lie in sickly hospitals, or bleed in future battles may have reaw,n to bless their efforts. Disease Asio.no Hohsks. A mysterious disease has broken out among the horses of Sacramento. Animals in good health are sud denly n' inched, and usually die within from twelve to forty-eight hours. Th y become greatly awolleii, all passngn from them ceases and tliey nppenr to suffer grent pain. In the later stages of the disease the nostrils disebaige profusely. No cause bus yet been ascertained for it. Animals kept iu ditl rent places and opon different kinds of food arc attacked nlike. Some of the coses occur in horses which have been long in use in the city, nud others in those just arrived from across thu plains mid else where. The Canvass. Wo published yesterday, for the first time the appointments nf the elec toral candidates. We did not insert them be fore because there was a misunderstanding be tween tho candidates, Mr. George having ill formed as that the appoiiitmeuts were made without his authority, uud that he did not vu;h to begin tho canvass until after the Chicago Convention. We presume the appointments will all bo filled, however, to the satisfaction nf all who can attend them. We make thesii re marks iu justice to Mr. George, aud think it would have been preferable to defer the mat ter uutil alter the policy of our opponents was defined. Ciiamdehsdl'HU. Tlii town, recently burn ed by the rebels iu Pennsylvania, bad a popu lation of over five thousand. It is' the county seat of Franklin county, situated 43 miles southwest of Ilurrishurg ami is connected by railroad with Pittsburg and Philadelphia. It had cotton and woolen factories. Iron foundries, floor and paper mills, a fine court house, a bank, a large academy and female seminary, eight churches and five newspaper office. The buildings were mostly of brick and stone, and the town presented an appearance of n at ness, oemfort and prosperity. Its fate was like that of the pleasant towns-of Italy when they were visitt d by the ruthless and barbarous Van dals. Tit AT Card. A rebel paper takes as to task for oar refusal to publish Uaydeu'sCard. Wo offered Mr. II. the benefit of our advertising columns, through which wo had given Riley's letter to the public, and deemed that sufficient. Rile J had his letter inserted as an advertisement, and offered pay for It.

Tho ylrtna Iu reproducing a portion of nn article from tho New York Wurld, a war dem ocratic paper, tnukos confessions worthy of note. Though wo have long known thu fuct, wo do not remember before to have teen the admission made by those professing to be dem ocrats, lie announces himself a peace man and quarrels with his brethren In tho ranks of the party because they aro in favor of the war, or so profess themselves. Now we havo alwayi claimed that there was no honor among those who compose that party. While ouo portion of the party, becaueo iuoi'0 popular In the latitude in which they live, proclaim jJiemselvos In fa vor of a prosecution of the war, another portion of the party in a tlifiWut latitude, where to be in favor of the war is not so popular, boastfully proclaim themselves for peace aud violently denounce all efforts of those who favor the war; this they do when by hook or crook there is a prospect of gain. If our memory is not at fault, this advocate of peace who so indignantly dis claims all privity and approbation in the mat ter of this war, has but reoontly become a con vert to thu cause ho how so adroitly and zeal ously advocates, we think that but recently he himself was a war democrat and approved of the war policy of the administration, hut did not approve of the steps taken by the adminis tration in the manner of ti e prosecution of the war; at that tlmo he conld have readily agreed with the urticle quoted from by him which he now differs with for tome reason best known to himself. Hear him; he says s " and yet thoro are some professing democracy who wish tp re. joice in the distinctive appellation of war dem ocracy. Wo have had quite enough of hypocrisy nud double-dealing." We think entoo;o have hud quite enough of this hypocrisy and double dealing. As this matter progresses wo become unaro of thu different phases it assumes. Why not now while you are npon this matter of con fesxiou, make a clean breast of it and let us know why yon tit this time advocate peaoe.' Is it beoauso you can no longer advocate tho war and quarrel with the manner iu which it lit carried nu ? Or is it beoauso you can more effectually advance the interests of him you servo, and work greater disaster to your gov ernment and country by assuming this new habiliment for the time? This shifting aud double-dealing cau but bring ruin and disgrace upon those who practice it, when they are ex posed, as they surely will be; for no sooner will wo hear of tho decision which it now bulng ar ranged by tho peaoe demooruoy In concert with , thu minions nf Jeff. Davis, who aro but upon the Canada side of the lino, to bo announced at the Chicago convention, than we will find these canting hypocrites ready to assume a new front. Wo think that it would be difficult for those democrat of the Oregon stripe to tell us in what part of tho political world we will find them in so short a time aa one mouth. It is as likely that at thu expiratiou of that timo they will bo advoonling wur as peace. All this drifting about would certainly be unnecessary In serving a good cause, and unjustUidbio in the one you pursue. Suppose peace were con cluded would you not then advocate pardon for the villaius who were tho authors uf this con spiracy til at has drenched the couutry iu tho blood of innocent patriots? most certainly you would, or prove recreant to your duty to your democratic brethren: "down in Dixie," whose representatives aro giving yon direction for fu ture action now in Canada. Why tint now come nut and ndvocnto peace and pardon to those in units against the government that al lows you n privilige that no other government would, of vilifying and blaspheming every thing that In any manner com! noes to its pros- iTvaimii. l on iiiisht as well. 1 ou aro tint less understood because under the cloak of hypoc risy you attempt to deceive us. That snch coitdnut wiil bring upon its authors the condem nation of till good and loyal men is unavoida ble. QuAimvitXK Evacuated. Persons just arrived from Qunrtzville report that the place has been evacuated by the miners, under the following circumstances i Four Imliaus made their appearance in camp who acted rather strangely told contradictory stories nbout their intentions, and did many things to excite the suspicions of llie whites. As the latter had un arms, or means nf defense, they thought best to change their " base " for thu present, and retreated towards tho valley. The four red-ki:ia were captured, but one of them escaping, the others were released. Whether t!;eso Indians were really hostile, or merely innocent atiagglcra from tho Warm Spring reserve, is not known. A Nuisance. A short time ago we called the attention of the city authorities to the fact that in the rear nf Scovill'i Livery Stable there existed a filthy hole, In nowiso calculated to conduce to the henlth of those living In the vi cinity. The stench from this place, which is caused by he drain from the Bennett House, which certainly keeps a supply of unw hole some matter there, is very disagreeable. There is a committee of health belonging to tho mu nicipal directors of the city, who are certainly very negligent in this matter. Wa respectfully call their attention to this matter onoe more. Enrollment of Oiieqon, We have r ceived from C'npU Keeler, Provost Marshal of the district of Oregon, a copy of his enrollment nf persons iu this State subject to military duty. It agrees with the list published in the States man I ant March, with the exception of tbe num ber iu Umatilla, the enrollment in that connty not then being complete. It now shows Kfl.

A coppertieid paper, published In this State, which U noteijfor its consistent system of false hood and misrepresentation, and which some timo since found fault with the Mountaineer, for a numericil error iu giving the area of the publio lands, rhicli wo suppose was merely a typographical, blunder, ootnes out in a late is sue and procedi to give the results of the pres ent war. T(is artiolo goes far to sustain the character of uat journul for truthfulness., The very first statement it makes is as brazen and reckless aa it If unfounded In fact. One mill ion of soldiers gravy ! exclaims this wonder ful niathomathal and geographical critic, sup posing, perhrvii, that a majority of.his read ers are as gnUblo as ho is reckless and impu dent. It uiujt be that he has uut road thu last reports of the rebel war department. , Accord ing to that thi, lots by death in tho rebel army, up to about tie 1st of January last, wot about 611,000, all told. This would leavo a loss of nine hundred and, forty thousand by death, to the Union army alone. .. Tbia conclusion,. however, wns probably arrived at by the system of argu ment guuerully resorted to by thoneinbcrs of thnt party. TJiey alwayi niako it a point to construe thiujs to tho advantage of the rebels. They think it Impossible for Grant to capture Richmond wita tho large army he commands ; but if Early lappous to cross the Potomac, with a sqnad of half-starved rebel bnshwhnok ers, they are cmvjuoed at onoe that ho will capture Wasliiigton. . We suppose this astute geuius had bc'ore, him the rebel reporU, (it would bo uummoimbltf to suppose he would consult any otkur authority,) aud finding the rebel loss, np to tho , present timo, would amount to souitthing less than a hundred thou sand, at onoe a'rivud at the conclusion (per haps by Profenor Andrews' now system of multiplication,) that the Uuion Ioasei would niaku it a round million. :.n. It may be softly stated that there is a blan der, whether iutrutional or not, In this state ment, of several hundred thousand. It is well known that In modern wars tho number of wounded far exceeds the number killed. Yet this wonderful oilculator places the aggregate of the crippled and maimed at one fourth of the killed. Tim Is an absurdity that a school boy would bluih to own. We wonder how many barrels of crocodile tears were shed when those "million graves" were discovered. , We knew that a lost of even a hundred thou sand brave and true men is one tliat is to be deplored. : It is a loss that is felt felt when it is not exaggerated, by every true lover of hit country more deeply aud more honestly than by any fault-finding copperhead. that ever wielded a Sword or a pen iu the cause of treason. Wo would nut attempt, from our prcsout knowl edge, to give the number of grave this war has made. God knows the uumber la large enough to stamp with eternal infamy tho men who inaugurated this rebellion, as well as those who apologise for their infernal schemes. The insinuation that the present administration is r?poo?ibl fur ul this euriiiigc, is unworthy of notice. Posterity will place the blatno where it belongs, and those who iu the end will have to bear tho burden should bo careful how they multiply tho tacts. Another Explosion. We havo heard of an othor Mow up about as remarkable as tho lager beer explosion, though not so disastrous. It seems that a true-blue, original son of Erin filled his pipo a fuw evenings since, as he supposed, with tobacco, and having lighted It, proceeded to puff with all the gusto uf an experienced and accom plished devouror of the noxions weed. After several appreciated whiffs had been drawn and severe.! clouds of whito smoke sent curling up wards, there was a sudden sound like the report of artillery ou a sumSl scale in near proximity to tho smoker's nose ; his eyebrows were singed and he thought he could smell the battle nuar by. Ho rubbed his eyes, gaicd wildly ironml to see frooi whence had.coiiiu that "white, iitfornal, battlo cloud," looked for the filling in his pipe, and it was not. His first thought was of tho witches of old Salem the tormentors of the honest though mis guided Mathw and he wondered if they had coma to play their pranks on the nnsuspeciing people of this new rialein in the West. Hut nn examination it was found that his nino had been charged with a niHtalic pistol cartridge, and tho "villainous compound" bad exploded in the face of the r tnian Hroiuerand scattered his feast of "no cut" to tho four winds. "8ieh is life." j Heavv Oats. Mr. E. Hartless, of Cottngo Farm, Denton county, hits placed onXar table a saaipio of Holland oats, on stalk, tho finest wo ever saw. Tho avorage yield, per acre, of Ihis grain, is 75 bushels, though Mr. H. says he has raised 100 bushels per acre at his farm this year. They differ from most oats, growing so thick and large upon the stalk that when atauding the field looks like one solid mass of graiu. Mr. II. has been in possession of the seed only since 1601, and baa now obtained a quantity for sale ; he will exhibit them at the 8tato Fair, threshed and on the stalk. The original seed was procured in Now York. We are satisfied from the testimony of many farmers from lfonton, with whom we have conversed, that tho grain is superior, in its seed, to any ever beforo grown In tb State. Fur the Sanitary Fair. Hon. A. J. Borland bai shown the editor of the Afona taineer a specimen of quarli which weighs S3 ouncei, 10 of which is pure gold. Its estimated value is $i50.

It is worthy of ohservatlon that tlm best, tho greatest, aud the noblest mou of tho South havo acknowledged that slavory was an evil and a curse, and havo uniformly spoken of it as a thing "to hs got rid of," at all hazards ; It has been re served lor Northern doughfaces to sing its praises. Jefferson, Randolph, Clay, Bonton and hundreds of other great men of Southern birth, have, united In deploring the cxistenc of this blot upon our free institutions t while Tankoa renegades like lnncey, Iti'maunn, etc, havo defended It, The opinion which the greatest and most mairnanl. motis men of the Sonth have bad of northern apostates from tho cause of freedom, may be gatharcd from tho following i "Sir," said John Randolph of Boanoko, 7jiw neitW the liuid nor the luturt of thai man from the Nitrtk.who rises litre to defend slaters upon princi ple." ' . . KaniJoltih would have regarded wilh the con tempt and disgust of a chivalrous and honorable nature, such crawling rptilea rs tho men of Nor thern birth, who prostitnto themselves to act ns jnckalls of tho slaveholders. Henry Clay, that greatest ana noblest of the sons of Kentucky, emphatically declared "So loot; as Hod allows the vital current to flow through my veitis, I will never, never, never, by word or thought, by mind or will, aid in admit ting ono rod of froo territory to tht everlasting curse of human bondage. The grant Knntueklttn would as soon hare joined hands with a thief, fresh from the peniten tiary as with a renegade Yankee. Thomas II. Benton, alluding to the language of Clay, above quoted, says : ' "That was a prond dayi I Could have wuhed that I had spoken the same words, I speak them now, tolling you tbey wero his, aud adopting them as my own." , The following is the language of Patrick Henry on the same subject : 1 "Slavery is detested.
