Thu matter of enlisting thu regiment called
for by Gen. 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.

"While tho Chicago Convention was in lei
sion the rebels look interest iu tho doings of

our pickets to exchange papers. Ou the night
of the 4th iust., they being satisfied that Ma
Clellan was nominated, at about nine o'clock
Ihe rebels sprung suddenly upon their worka
almost along Ihe entire line (the line is nearly
twelve miles long ) nnd gne three eheeri fur
McClellun. Our men were perfectly lliniul r
struck. In a moment or two nor true Union
boys also sprang upon their worka ami gave
three elisors for Abraham Lincoln, and both
sides kept it up fur some lime. While Ihe
cheering was going ou, nn firing of any kind
wns done; each side was too ninth engaged

thousand of votes for .Mr. Lincoln. You will

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

never union to eiepin-o u repetition ot Hie tyranny 01

What dues that nienn 7, In our judgment,
it luenii simply Ihut in California there aie
40,000 men who huvo conspired together to in
augurate a rebellion iu thu North in case of a
copperhead defeat at the polls. 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. (
Civir. Wau Tiiiikatknku. 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. (A voice Yes, ami all over Ihe
country.) If thu wnr continues you may rely
upon it that every nian's baiitl will be 1 11 rued
against his neigh! or. and tho result w ill bo that
I hero will bu 11 contest between Republicans
uud Democrats hero among us "
Threats of violence arc weak arguments,
uud wo do not believe uny Union man will bu
deterred by them from s'lstuiniiig tho govern
ment and the Union by Ii is vote, nud if neues
sar , by arms. Thut ia nn answer which can

No man who loves his country will promote
civil disturbances, but nil such will be ready tn
meet the emergency if it be forced by copper
heads, or anybody else.
Deciibii.y Rich. Somo of the copper:
heads here oould not trust Iho telegraphic re
porters lo tell the truth about the state elections
and so telegraphed to IScriah liruwn, editor of
the Democratic. Prens, Snn Francisco, to learn
just how it was." Heriah assures them it
is all right; aud they are going in with their
cash betting that Pennsylvania lias gone dem
ocratic. This Heriah It row 11 wns notorious, in
Wisconsin, as one of tho " forty thieves," a
gang of railroad stock swindler, and actually

you are not the first victims of "misplaced con

nrOne of the pinks of tho Chicago conven
tion was August Ilelmont, the American agent
uf the Rothschilds, who nro the largest holders
in tho world of the Confederate Loan. It is
easy tn understand why bo wants nn armistice.
A cessation of the war insures the indepen
dence of the confederacy, and enhances the
value uf the rebel loan stock. If the wnr con
tinues, iu the hands of Union men, tbo confed
eracy And the loan go to perdition together
It is natural Helinoot should work for the inter
ests of bis maters nntl partner. It is need
less lo say, he spends bis time nud money free

Lieut. Gen. William, formerly of Oregon,
writes under dale Sept, 2-ilh, from Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania:
"The election ia now nil the talk. This
County will go nil Ihe mine way Lincoln
nud 1 think the u We country will go tho mine
way. As for myself, I have great confidence
in McC'le lun's generalship, hut I cannot go a

We have another victory in Ihe Shenandoah

they have "caught a tartar."

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

shell that went thundering ami crashing thro'
thu rebel ranks, also swept down wholu legions

There were nbont fifty traitors present and for

augnrnted tho convention at Cincinnati. These
fellows nil support McClellau now on tho pri

vor nn immediate cessation uf hostilities or iu
other words, that he will prove himself as much
a traitor aa niiy nf lliem.
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.

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. Taking Buchanan
and Dreckiuridge as examples, they conld'nt
rule without also ruining it. The safest wny
is lo keep tin in peaceable by burying them
under a huge Union majority nt the polls.

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.
What a picluru the copperhead party pre

dependent upon thu cause, success and life of
the enemies nt war with its country.
OSE WAY OK COSSTKIIISU IT.

We can briefly nntl ellectively disprove the

'I am satisfied thnt if elected, Gen. McClel
