McDowell, is creating much inter est though imt much excitement in this county. Thu general belief seems to be that all vtll uuteers from this county can bo olituiiud and that un .necessity of reporting to Iho draft will occur. It is certainly greatly to bo desired th it companies in ull the districts, should be raised promptly by volunteering. Besides thu bad showing which Oregon would iiinke to the other loyal States by lagging su be hind ns to mnko a draft necessary, every con sideration ol doinestio policy favors n voluntary offering of such force us our own protection ev idently demands. We do uot apprehend any resistance (0 drafting, should it come u that, but more or less excitement would undoubtedly ensue, and it is easy to sec that even thut would be better uvnided. The order to raise a regi ment is peremptury ami if it cannot be raised by volunteering, a draft must follow if the Gen eral commanding tjiis department, still contin ues lo think such troops necessary. If the people will generally encourage volun teering, Ihoritean be no reasonable doubt about the success uf that method. There nro more than a thousand young men iu the Stutu who arc not saving from their yearly incomes ns much clear money as can bu saved by econom ical use of the wages and bounties paid to the soldiers by the Stale and general government. He) oud the question of wages, the ordinary patriotism of Iho people and their State pride should revolt at tho idea of enjoying immunity from the costs of war at the expense of other Slates which are less able tliuu we to spare the men uecccsury to protect our frontiers.

Til UK ATS OK RK8ISTAN1K. Within thu last few weeks it has been re marked by almost everybody that tho copper heads uio iiiiwontedly noisy, insolent, and threatening in their conduct and language. It ia not that manliness nntl fearless benring w hich nil men respect in friend or foe. but 11 malignant insolence born of vice and tittered by the tongue uf hatroil. They evidenti,? feel themselves, in some way, safe in giving nut ut terances that nn peace, loving man would dare mploy. That they nro leagued together iu some way lor mutual co-operation in nny event seems must evident. That they oro and have been most atten'ivo tn securing arms, is alsu well known. That iu so doing Ihey huve bad some ulterior design of violence in contempla tion, seems most prnbiiblu. Thu threatening manner of the faction, of late, ovinces that they feel comment ol success in whatever scheme they may have iu bund. A single quotation from a copperhead news paper will give u very fair specimen of the div ert threats uttered every dny in our streets and at their public gathering!. The Democratic Press uf San Francisco, edited by Heriah Brown, a lending spirit of thu I'uciliu const gang of copperheads, says : 'Have Ihnv counted tlio cost, and the responsibility to (toil ami hmuuiihy, of exloniiiiuoiiig u lieu pim ple, tWai'iK lor existence, even if it were possible, wineli it is not f now louiiy are aware nun uieru m-w in this SiutelCiiliforniiij foriy thousand known, tlcttir miiieil 111,'u. uod in the wliobt of the Northern.

When the Press speaks so positively of the 40,000, does it not also mean that it counts upon men so sworn as to iuduce tho writer to depend upon tho fulfillment of their oaths? Would nny sim ply political adhesion among men enable the Press to speak so confidently about the resist ance threatened ? The conclusion Is inevitable that nil these open aud covert threats aro based upon conn deuce in oath-bound traitorous leagues. Un less Union mull actively gn lo work, nnd by an overwhelming majority nt the polls, ugnin over nwe thu secession clement of tliu North, we may reasonably expect these threats to be cur ried into execution.

A Mr. Wedge wood, of New York, snid ut thu Chicago cull vent ion : "Tho scenes of Missouri will be repented in Illinois in less than six mouths, if the war should be continued.

This Heriah It row 11 wns notorious, in Wisconsin, as one of tho " forty thieves," a gang of railroad stock swindler, and actually froze uut" of the state on his repu'iition fur being a scamp uf the first water.

When Sheridan's great victory in tbo Shell niidoah wns ringing all nver tho North ami ru invigorating tho hopes of loyal men, McClcllnn was quietly viewing a torchlight procession in his own honor and from which never a cheer fur thu victory or u cheer for Sherldtin went up. When thu procession hatted before him. MuClellan merely thanked them for thu honor done him nnd hoped they would exousu him from making a speech. While glad voices were raised nil over the North iu celebration of the great victory, MoC'lelhiii merely had voice to thank a rnhble of oopperhends for doing him honor; not a word for the bruvo men who that solf-anmo day went down upon the battle-field in defence of the Union to vfhoso government MoCIell in aspires; not a word for Iho good old Aug which led our gallant men In victory nnd glory; not a word for tho gallant commander whoso heroism Inspired each soldier with invin cible courage; not a word for the vietory Itself which was then working nut its part nf the groat problem upon which hangs the Nation's life. While every loyal man iu tho North was doing honor to the gallant chieftain and men or thu fight and In their hearts devoutly thanking God for thu victory vouchsafed to our nrms. MuClellan was receiving the adulations nf a muss-meeting nud bad no eyes only for his ad mirers, no ears only fur their flattery, nntl no voice only to thank them for doinq him honor. MuClellan could not but ignore the buttle, the oninmnmlcr, the soldiers, aud tho victory, for each of them weru actively working to drift away from him the hopes of his election. Mo Clellun as a candidate oould not or would not and did not dure alludo to thu glorious success thut on that day rested upou our victorious arms, fur he must have felt that Sheridan's and tho Nation'j gain was his loss. Every rod of ground contested that day 11ml lost by thu tub el host, was also lost by him. Every shot and shell that went thundering ami crashing thro' thu rebel ranks, also swept down wholu legions of props under McClcllnn ami his parly. As well ask Gen.

If hu hud uttered -them they would hni'e been as so many wet blankets tn put out McClellau torch lights and MuClellan enthusiasm.

James Ilarlnn, chairman of the Congress ional Commtttca telegraphed on tho 18th to A. J. lirynnt, Chairman of California State Union Committee a follows : Washinoton, October Id. A.J.

At this time, official returns hud been re ceived at Hurrishurg from 50 uf the CG coun ties.

There is no earthly probability thut tho soldiers' vote will fail to in crease that by several round thousands. CF Geo. K. O'Shiel formerly of Oregon nnd ouco nn obscure member of Congress, was one nf the party ef peace plotters who met ut the St. Nicholas Hotel, New York, nfter Ihe re oeption of MeClcllan's acceptance letter, tn consult upon thu organization of a pence party.

Tub "Loyal Tklkuiiai'ii." The copper heads frequently gn into virtuously indignant spasmodic about thu "loyal telegraph" and its "ro-ieiib!e" " tell lie-grains." We have thought for some while Ihut it acted qneerly nt times. We have learned the reason : The in dividual who is the general agent of Ihe Wes tern Union Telegraph Company, nnd who controls Ilia Continental Telegraph lino, is J, 11. Wude, a copperhead, nnd a " democratic " candidate for Congress in the 16th district of Ohio, ut the recent election. , We think if that don't account for tho tell-lie-grams, investigation are hopeless.

He will abide by ite principles; ho will look toils tra'itions. He filetlges Tou thut at some lime or oilier, nt least to will "exhaust the art nf statesmanship" for a settlement of these difficulties." Or in other words, copperheads enn depend upon McClcllnn to be and to do whatever their leaden determine open. rp"Tho New York Herald lately predicted thut iu caso of Lincoln's re-election, there would be a copperhead revolution in the north, and insisted thnt it had means of knowing. A pretty set of fellows to intrust the government witli ! They would destroy the government because they can't rule it.

Geo, E. Colo, tho Delegate in Congress from Washington Territory, supports McClollim. In a recent letter published iu the Walla Walla Stiitriman, he says : "When Lincoln was nominated it was gen orally ennoeded that if (Jraut should take liicliuiotitl and Sherman Atlanta thnt nothing could prevent his flection." Mr. Colo, hero unwillingly, testifies Unit Union viwnrirb iu thu field proiuotu the oliunocs of electing th ) .Union candidate. Of course then Union defeats have thu opposite effect. In other vonls Mr. Colo, in effect, any tmt thu success of MuClellan depends upon thu success of Ihe rebel nrms. If the rebels uio defeated, McClellau is defeiiled.
