. LETTER FKOM CAMP POLK.
Camp Polk, Oregon, Feb. 28, Km.
E1. Statesman : Through tho months of Novem
ber, December, nnd January, tho weather here
was rather " hefty," but the past month hat been
beautiful, warm o' days and cold o' nights. The
snow baa not been at any time more than a foot
deep, and the ground has been almost bare for
the past mouth. The beef rattle and two mules i
charge of Capt. Lafollett, A. C. 8., are standing
the winter vory well. They live on tlie rushes in
the creek bottomland bunch grn.s.on the hill-
sines, uccr are very plenty, and in tolerably
good order. We havu killed over a hundred,
some weighings much as three hundred pounds
grn.e. We bavo not seen any Suaka Indians.
The weather permitting, Cpt. I,afollett, with a
detachment of men, will sturt in a few days nn an
expedition up Crooked IJiver, after Miinkes and
glory. We have had no sickness n. all. We were
two months at onetime without hearing a word
from tho outsiJe world. One who has never been
so situated eau little ronlize how hard it is to kill
timo, without hooks, unpen, or news. If wo were
not a jolly set of fellow wo would have died with
ennui.
Vie hop to be discharged before tho June elec
tion, so that we can veto the Union ticket. Wu
would, every one, do so with a hearty pood will.
A word to our Union friends "over in I'olk."
do to work in earnest. Allow no outside issue tn
divide you. You have the same wily foe lo con
tend with Tloiyara baudntl together like a gang
of thieves, (rather harsh, but too true,) and will
resort to nil kinds of trickery and lying, lie
member they sre the sume now as when tboy hur
rahed for Jeff Duvii, cut the halliards tn prevent
i ho Htara and ISiripes frum beimr raised, tore the
Hug from school houses, imported voters into I'olk
county, rejoiced when the rebels (their friends)
gained a victory, and were downcast at tho suc
cess of the Union arms. And ther strike hniids
with their rebel friends hoi from tho Held of but
tle, with their arms red to the elbows with the
blood of our brother soldiers. The guerrilla! that
went prowling around, shooting Union men wher
ever found, burning houses, and stealing proper
ty, receive a liesuy welcome from them. The
uien that starved our poor comrades at Anderson
ville aud other places, with hellish and liemlish
delicti!, are taken into their fords. The assassins
nf President Lineolu, lha soldiers friei;d. would
have been incorporated with delight into their
party. Was there ever a party made no of luch
wicked material 1 It cannot be possible that any
o.n whu loves hi, eountry, who loves truth,
rifht, and the good nf mankind, will vote their
ticket. Leteveiy Union man do his duty, and
victory is certain. Let harmony and concert ol
action prevail. W would feel defeat more keen
ly lhan yen. The "democrats" opposed Ilia
ll.oi nly Iliil, and hiiv dune all they could lo de
preciate tho value of our bounties, and would re
pud mi them if successful in lha election. Every
friend of the soldier will vol, the Union ticket.
The "democrats" called ns "Lincoln's hirelings."
They laks every opportunity to insult us. As we
passed through the Valley last fall, are could tell
the Union men and "democrala ' a par1 by t lie
manner in which they treated ns. We know our
friends. W ork together Uke a band of brothers I
"siuk the partissu in the patriot;'' and go to the
polls in one solid phalanx, and the result will give
joy to every lover of bis country. C A .

oooclusian that it would not be consistent with

for the measure. . The at to establish a boreaa.
for the relief of freedmen and refugees, whict
wai approved in the month of March last, haa

extensive enough for the purpose in yiw. Be
for it oease lo hate effect, further experience
may assist to goide ni to a wise conuliinp aj

, I have, with Congren. the itrongeit deilr '
to secure to freed men the full enjuymeut of

well suited tn aocomnluk the end In view. ' ,
, The bill propose establish, by .',aet I; - "j
of Cnngress. military Jurisdiction over all part

with most force to those part of the Unjlcd

it expressly extendi th existing temporary I.
risdiotinn of tbe Freedmen' Bureau, with
greatly enlarged power, over those States In
which the ordinary course nf judical proceed

Thu sou roe from which thi military jurisdic
