And his pcrturbatirri leads him into several exhibitions of a very under lie is savage in somo of his paroxysms, ami then ngnin pitifully mendicant or painfully solicitous. He is too atigry to be careful, and too frightened to be discroet. Iu madness, he says that" druuken McDongall" voted to sustain the Teto. AVhy was not the godly man candid enough to add : and so did- drunker Chandler and drunkest Sprague Tote not to sustain the veto ? But we have not space at this late hour to further notice the reverend man's leader in yesterday's Journal. It is enough to say that he sustains the lladi cal Congress aud denounces the Presi dent's course. - v -BnowxsriM.t. From." Mr. G. C.

" Tkackpy Near Umatit.t.a. We learu that a tragedy occurred on the 24th inst., near Umatilla City, whereby one person lost his life ami another poisoned as is believed, so that he can hardly sur vive. The facts are reported to us as follows: Two men named Slater and Fry had a ranch in Umatilla valley near the Twelve mile House. They disagreed about their business, and had not lived in harmony for somo time. Cm Sunday previous to the date abovo given Fry was taken suddenly ill. His symptoms indi cated that he had been poisoned, lie would fall into a stupor and remain so for several hours, and on returning to con sciousness would declare that Flater had poisoned him, and that he had three times before attempted to tako his life. Some persons- whose names could not be ascertained, collected together, seized Fry and hung him on a tree until he was dead. The parties Pry and Slater were brothers-in-law. The above is copied from the Orego nian. The names are clearly transposed above. From a person just down from near the scene of the tragedy, who knows the two men, we learu that there was no reasonable ground for the suspicion agniust Slater that Fry's illness had oc occurred at intervals all winter, and arose from 'cold and exposure, together with a general depression of spirits. This in formant was in no way connected with either of the brothers-in-law. Slater and Fry were both former residents of this county, aud the former bore a good char acter from all Who know him.
