Albanj, Jan. 14, J867 v2n231y POETIIY. ovep THE xuvcxit This beautiful poem, by an American writer, Miss Priest, has commanded the admiration of all readers during the many rounds it has made of the newspaper, apd magaxlne press tho last ten years. Over the river they beckon to me, Loved ones who've passod to the other sido The gleam of tho snowy robes I teo, But their voices are lost In the dashing tide There's one with ringlets of sunny gold, And eyes the reflection of heaven's own blue lie crossed In the twilight gray and cold, And the pale mist hid him from mortal view W saw not the angels who met there, The gates of the rily we could not see j Over the River, over the River, My brother stands ready to welcome me. Over the River the Bnatman plo Carried another the household pot ; Her bright curls waved In the gentle gale Darling Minnie, I seo her yet ! She crossed on her bottom her dimpled hand. And fearlefly entered the phantom bark ; 11V watched It slide from the silver sand. And all onr sunnhlne grew strangely dark. We know ihe I safe on the other side. Where all the ransom'd angol be ; Over the River, the mystic River, My childhood's Idols are waiting for me. For none return from thoe quirt shores Who crops with tho Boatman rM and pale We bear the dip of the golden oar. We catch the gleam of the snowy nail, And Io! thy have paMtnl away from our heart; They cross the stream and are gone for aye! We cannot sunder the veil apart, That hides from our vision the gates of day ; We only know that their barks no more Shall aail with oort on life's stormy sea J Yet somehow on the nnwen shore. They watch and beckon and wait for me. And I sit and think when the unrt's gold Is flushing river and hilt and chore, I shall one day itand by tho water cold. And lUt to the sound of the Boatman's oar I shall watch for the gleam of the flapping sail, T shall hear the boat as it gains the strand, I shall pass from sight with the Boatman pale To the better shore of the F!rl Land ! I shall know the loved who hav gone be'oie And joyfully swrct will the meeting be. When over the River, the peaceful River, The Angel of Death shall carry me! Jofth Hilling on Cougw.

The Railroad. The Willamette Val ley Railroad seems to be a fixed fact. Ar rangements have been made by the com pany here with Eastern capitalists, by which the money to build the road is to be furnished on a mortgage of the road and rolling stock. The material for the first section of twenty-five miles is ahca dy purchased and probably on the way by this time. As soon as tho bonds are completed, which tho company are now preparing, and sent East, additional ma teriaf will be shipped. 'There is one sat isfaction about this arrangement, at least, the people of Oregon can lose nothing, as the builders are secured only by a mort gage on the road, which will be utterly worthless until the road is built. A friend who has recently returned from Salem, says that afrer a careful investigation of the whole matter and an examination of the company's books and papers, hie has concluded that we are soon to have a rail road. As to where tho road will run, no definite, information can be had, as there has as yet been no authorized or definite survey. If it is to be a Willamette Val ley Railroad it will be built in this part of Oregon, if not it is perhaps as likely to lead off from the head of navigation on the Columbia.- Oregon City Enterprise.

Legal Tender UyNtcm nml ncputlla? tlon. I4ast week wo alluded to a proposition, which has been going the rounds of a por tion of tho press, for redeeming for rath er exchanging) tho prcsont funded nation al debt with greenbacks, issued for that purpose at their nominal par value. In commenting upon this scheme, wo endcay oredtoshow that, in practice, U was cquiv alout to national repudiation : slncb tho pretended payraeut of & bona fuU debt wuu mere promjsca to pay. mat are not redeemable in money or something intrin sic value, is reallv no navment at all. To bo suro, tho public creditor, in thus exchanging ono form of security for an- uwicr, wouiu suit iioia me promiso oi tue government to pay tho debt duo him in specie. But as tho latter would not be furthcoming on demand, he would bo ob liged cither to hold to his greenbacks till tho government saw fit to redeem them, thus losing interest ou his money, or put them to tho best possible use by pass ing them off as currency at their market value. This market value would, of course, de pend very much upon the volume of cur rency afloat; and if the liovcrtimetit should undcrtako to print and iue two billions of treasury notes, in addition to tho hvo hundred millions now extant, it is very certain that tho paper dollar would aoon depreciate to a vcrv small fraction of its nominal value. In that case, greenbacks would probably bear about the same ratio to gold that'Confed erate currency did just before the close of the war. But the worst fcaturo of the cans would bo that, greenbacks beiug legal tenders, thoir enormous tuultiplicatkn and depre ciation would enable every private debtor to virtually repudiate his previously con tracted pecuniary obligations by paying them off in a worthless currency. Thus we should have repudiation all around the board, beimiuing vith tho Government and ending with the citizen : all score would be wiped ont, and with them the grecuback debt itself .Such an over is sue of depreciated currency would, of course, never be redeemed in gold, but would ultimately share the fall of tho 1 rcuch AsAtgnats and tho notes of the Continental Congress. This result might or might not, be hastened by organic changes in our political ayatom. But the preMjtit being to soinc extent a revolution ary epoch, tending to radical changes, it is hardly safe to open the door to any plausible pretext for uational repudia tion. But in taking up this subject air.iin. we do so not merely to point out the dangers of the situation, but toahowthat the Gov crumcut is in some degree responsible for the popular clamor to get rid of burthen- some taxation by a summary and cheap method ot uiftcharirtnir the public debt. In fact, the mischievous tendency to repu diation originated wholly in the legal ten der system, which is basod upon tho dis- loncst pnuciple ofcompolling the private creditor to receirc less than a justciuiva- cot in satisfaction oi nts uues. The proposition now being agitate), to compel the public creditor to receive depreciated greenbacks, instead of gold, n payment of hit dues, is merely an ex tension of the same vicious principle, and is. tn fact no more of a swindle thin was egalizcd by the Congress which passed the legal tender act. Indeed, we arc un able to see why it is not just as fair and egittmate for the government to pay off it gold dobts with legal tenders, regard ed of their purchase power or market value, as to authorize tho private citizen to do the same thing. What is prescribed as just and honest between man and man, certainly ought to bo just and honest be tween the government and the people. livery treasury note issued since the suspension of specie payments, constitutes a forced loan of the people to the govern ment, which tho latter tn theory promis es, but tn practice refuses, to pay. In its relations to the currency, it standi to-day u the attitude of national repudiation, and the measure of this repudiation is represented by the repudiation of tho cur rency. It has not only set an example of repudiation by telling the people to take its depreciated paper, but has authorized private debtors to repudiate in the same way and to the same extent. A further issue ot'demaqd notes, wheth er to cancel its bonds or for any other pur pose, would only increase the amount ot depreciation and repudiation, but the principle would be the same as that which now lies at the bottom of our money system. This principle, instead of being extended, should be wholly uprooted ; unless this is done, it will lead to mischief, and through it the national credit, if not wholly over thrown, will receive a shock from which it will take years of wise and honest finan ciering to recover, The New York Tribune of tho 2Gth ult., says: "We have printed Mr. Ould's letter, in which he charges that the Reb el Government, in J.8G4, offered to sur render, without au equivalent 15,000 sick and wounded prisoners. The persistence of this assertion, and the offer to prove it, should cause the Government to exam ine the matter thoroughly. The publio are interested in these grave charges, and the testimony of Gen. Grant, Gen. Butler, Mr. Stanton, Gen. Mulford and Mr.Ould, should be fully taken and published. 43 Well.- By the casting vote of its President, tha Connecticut Senate tabled a resolution ordering a portrait of the late President Lincoln to be placed in the Senate Chamber. One of the members, in the course of the debate on the resolu tion, said that the fact that President Lincoln was assassinated,, was no argument for placing his portrait in tho Senate Chamber, and suggested that President Tyler's portrait might as well be put up because he died of dysentery. ' 1 - ; , .' ' ' " .'.' '"' ' , ''' ;'' The Chicago Times calls Phill. Sheri dan "an insolent, drunken upstart' Negro ItaiTragG. Thq following article, from tho New Yorjc Jjrprmi has the ring of tho true metal ; Thcro has been, and there yet is an in timation, in ono of the city Democratic journals, that negro suffrage is an open (ssuo with Democrats, and that a man can be a Democrat and vote to degrado the whito laborer of the North to tho race and caste degradation of the negro. There never was a greater mistake for the grcatost of all issues between Democrats and tho Republican oligarchy is that of negro suffrage. It is about the only issue, for tariffs, and about everything cle, dwin dle into, insignihcanco when compared with it. Tho oligarchs ond monopolists of the ioritt the men lor three hundred per cent, tariff bounticsaro reconstructing tho South, so as to mo the nftjrro vote there, to force the consumers of tho North to keep tip their tariff bounties. Hence the fivo monarchies, and all tho tyrannies connected therewith. The Democrats of tho North and West are dead against all this, and united on ft too. The question, here at homo, is, as on our own soil, when confined to our own State, of but littlo practical importance to us, right here but of the greatest prac- tical importance to us elsewhere, and of the greatest theoretical importance every where. The Democratic theory and prin ciple is, that this is a Democratic govern ment of white men, raado for white men, nnd exclusively for white men. Hence we have ever carefully excluded the Indi an from suffrage, nay, wo have extirpated him, and universal suffrage for the negro was an idea scouted by the fathers of the republic, who in the Federal Convention compacted not only to deliver him upas a slave, but to have him represented ouly as a slave. Onr fathers made no provisions for tak ing into their co-partnership government, the Cherokee, or Creeks, or Iroquois, or Seneca tribes powerful in their day, while they created a government exclu sively for white men. They never in tended to harc their co-partnership with these Indians, any more thau with the Chinese or Japanese, our own Pacific ocean neighbors. The land was made open and free for Anglo-Saxon. Teuton, Celt, and for all tho Latin races in short for the Caucasian, never for the African, or Mongolian, or Kequimaux tribes or, men, whom, we are now embracing in masses in our just acquired Russian pos sessions. The reason that this govern ment of white men should be kept for white men, is, that tho white man alone is capable of selfgovernmoat, and alone can maintain a free government. No other races have ever maintained such a government, or ever can. The white man is the superior man, tho dominant man, over the African, the Mongolian, the Esquimaux, or other ypecies of men, and was designed and destined by God to be so. All attempts of our nee to sjnre government, and our society with the in ferior races of men, io Ilayti, Jamaica, or Spanish America, here, in America, or, in Asia, or North Africa, have been de structive of both races. Amalgamation is death, both to white, negro men, or Mon golian men. Equality and fraternity with these lowev races is against the will of God, and God punishes by the destruc tion of both races all theso violations of His Holy Will. A Woman Triks to Blow Herself up with a Cannon Ball. One of the most whimsical and unheard of means of "shuffling off this mortal coil," occurred in this city recently. A woman living in the lower part of this city, named Meyer, who from the ill-treatment of her husband had become disgusted with life, attempt ed to make away with herself in the fol lowing manner : Sho took a six pound cannon ball, which her husband had brought frcra Vicksburg as a relic, and which had been on the mantel piece for years, and having a rather indistinct con ception of tho terrible effect of tho pro jectile and the manner of using it, she hit upon an idea. She went to Edward's groceiy and purchased fifty cents worth of powder, returned home and procuring a breakfast plate she placed it on the floor. Sho then poured tho powder upon the plate and put the cannon ball on top of the powder. Having thus got her ar tillery in position and everything in read iness, sho then sat down over the loaded plate, and with a burning taper in one hand fired the powder. The effect of the explosion may be imagined. The ex ploding powder burned and blackened the woman's lower extremities, while the ball which she vainly expected would end her miseries did not stir from its position. The unfortunate victim of this insane at tempt at self-destruction is lying in a pre carious condition from the effects of her foolhardy attempt upon her own life. St. Louis Republican. Who ts Safe ? God has never crea ted a mind yet that can safely challenge combat with the appetite of drink. Earjh has no ambition that is not engulfed, no hope which is not blasted, no tie which is not broken, no sanctuary which is not in vaded, no friend, no kinsman, wife or child, that is not forgotten; no fibre of human agony which is not wrung. Minds of common mould will get through life without excess, while those gifted with God-like powers are smitten with weak ness. The gifted author of Childe Har old walked in fettersjand died at Misso longhi of drunken debauch. He 'who led the prosecution in the British Parliament against Hastings, was hurried to the grave to escape the clutch of his landlords.'

M Brown. Another TLetter from Kx-CommJa- sitoner Ould General Robert Oull has written the i following letter to one of tho editors of the National Intelligencer. Richmond, July 18, 1807. My Dear Sir: I have read thoremark- .H. Mil' ' it. IT TJI1 . uojo uigpuKsion m tnc J louse, jjiunugu is substantially right in what he said. I offered early in August to deliver all the sick and wounded prisoners wo had with out requiring equivalents for them. would have made the offer earlier, but for tho fact that somo considerable time before I had made an offer of exchange, man lor man, to which 1 could get no re sponse. I waited for a response until early in August, and failing to receive one, I then made tha offer above named. at the samo time urging haste on the part ot the united states Government, as the .1 e . mortality among tno rcaerai prisoners was very great. During the rail I again and again urged haste, giving 'the same reason. I informed tho rederai authori ties that if they would send transporta tion for 1&,U00 men to the mouth of the Savannah river I would furnish that num ber of sick and wounded, and that I would fill up any deficiency with well prisoners. I did not require a corresponding deliv ery of our prisoners, though I expressed the desire that they might be sent. Irom early in August we were not only ready, but anxious to make this delivery. It Tjras our purpose, as well as our ouer, to con tinue the delivery of the sick and wound ed at all the depot of prisoners, and upon the terms mentioned; that is, without requiring equivalents, .transportation a mw was not sent until December. The Uni ted States authorities brought in that month some 3,000 prisoners to the mouth of the Savannah river, and received over ld,UU0 in reurn, many of whom were well men. The 300 delivered presen ted as melancholy a txcctacJe as Ander- sonvillg ever presented. Most, if not all of them, had Lcen brought from Almira. oni2 died between Almira and Balti more many between Baltimore and Sa vannah. I do net believe ten per cent. of the number arc alive now. All these facts are known to Federal officers. Reb els may lie, but yet the fact is fully estab lished by other evidence that the fede ral authorities sent 3.00 and received 13.000. They would have received more if there had been accommodation. Why were 13,000 delivered aod only 3,000 re ceived, if I insisted on receiving equiva lent? There Li nothing in the publish ed correspondence referred to by General Butler which, in any manner, contest any one of the facts I have mentioned. General Mulford will sustain everything I have herein written. He b a man of honor and courage, and I do not think will hesitate to tell the truth. I think it would be well for jou t make an appeal to him. as it has become a question of veracity. General Butler says the propo sition was made in the Fall, and that 7,000 prisoners were delivered. It was in August, and over 13,000 were deliver ed. If you will get Pollard's Lost Cause," and refer to the chapter on exchaoge, you will thero find the whole question accu rately stated. Every word of the chap ter is true, so far as it pretends to give facts. The book was published by sub scription, by Treat & Co., of New York. You can publish any portion of this let ter. I defy contradiction as to any state ment I have made, and challenge scruti ny. I will prove every word by Federal testimony. Who, then, is responsible for the suffering of Andcrsonville during the period of its most deadly mortality, from August to January? Yours, truly, Robert Ould. The Election, Notwithstanding all the fraud perpetra ted by the enemy at the election in this Territory last Monday, the Democracy have gained a great triumph. The lead ers of the Republican party had been or ganizing for the contest for twelve months. Through the machinery of the Under ground League of Africa, and the Grand Humbug of tho Republic, secret organiza tions hostile to libc.ty and a Democratic form of government, they kept up the en? thusiasm of their followers in every part of the Territory. Thoy inveigled the ig norant and unsuspecting into their toils. They collected a vast corruption fund whicbthey used unscrupulously in the contest. In this city they nnblushingly distributed funds in tho open day to pur chase votes. We have no doubt the Re publican Central Committee of this Terri tory expended $25,000 to carry the elec tion. It was a poor investment. It is a total loss. Great stress was laid on the supposed fact, that tho soldiers would vote tho Republican ticket. In this they were deceit ed, a majority of the soldiers in Neil Howe's command, voted tho Dem ocratic ticket. Four to one of the regu lar soldiers are Democratic. This will have a potent effect throughout the coun try. It will encourage the Democracy everywhere. They opened a bogus poll at Sun River for the purpose of carrying that point bv several hundred for" San ders, but when the soldiers ''commenced voting four to ono for Kavanaugh, they stopped the election by closing the polls. This is one of the precincts established under the direction of Hosmer and the Union League. ' ' Let the Democracy everywhere take heart. Tho army is with them. The ar-: my is with the people. During tlie rev olution in Paris, which resulted' in the dethronement of Louis Philippe and the Bourbons, when the National Guards were ordered up to put1 down the people, and it was nb'ticed that they .did. not fire, a universal shout went up ,M the soldiers do not fire on tho people; tho soldiers are with the people' The soldiers of the Union are and will be with the Democra cy.

It consists id waging war 'againlt the United States Government, and in giving aid and com fort to its' enemies ; and every man who does this is a traitor, and having dono this, what rights has a Southerner ? He has a civil right to be hanged and a po litical right to be damned V' The People of California A this political mountebank. They think that Southerners, now the war is over, instead of bciog "hanged and damned," have the same right to life, liberty and the protection eS tho r,xs rtti,;.. union, which they claim for themselves. Not satisfied with hanging and damning the Southern people, tbi3 iroa-ciad cxmZ sarv of fanaticism apd knavery descen ded to the dirty work of grossly slander ing Sonoma county. We extract front the same speech : "I may here remark that manv peon! have an erroneous idea as to the nature of the Frcedrxian's Bureau, and in illus- irauoa ot tins 1 will msntion what the people in ono portion of the State think of it. Over in Sonoma. many Democrats, characterized as nanal by ignorance and whiskey, they thought that the great Radical party and the Ab olition Congress were distributing those little articles of furniture called beau- rcaus, to the negroes, and wouldn't give any to the Democrats." "Democrats, characterised a3 usual by ignorance and whiskey." Is it surpris ing after such contemptible attacks, that Sonoma county rolled up one thousand majority against tb Gorham ticket, and that the State repudiated the men who employed such Ivin tools as Gov. Woodl of Oregon ? Gorham, Pixley, Wood, Cox, Jones, Stewart, and a few other ribald speakers, did much to open the eyes of me people ot California to the baseness of the mongrel party and its infamous lead ers. -Sonoma Democrat. San Francisco, September 16. The ceremony of circumcision was performed yesterday upon infant sons, triplets, of Mr. Henry Danzier.

Appropriate speeches were made by Rev. Dr. Henry. uenerai JUcJUowell, benator tonnes?. Rev. Dr. Cohen, and Jacob Benjamin. Three successive goblets were then pre sented to the children bv Lewis Echilich'. "IIe Shot all bct Me." When Gen. Braxton Bragg commanded the ar my of Tennessee, one day, while on the march, he suddenly came upon one of the "ragged," butter-nut fraternity, who was just then busily engaged in plundering a garden. Ihe General drew up, and in that clear, ringing voice, which once heard on the field of battle, is not readily forgotten, called out, "to what command do you belong to?" Butternut was caught; he recognized the General, and he knew the man ho had to deal with. Assuming a green, gawky manner, he answered as ollows: Mr. I did belong to Mr. Braggfe company, but he shot all but me." This was a little too much, and drawing his hat over his eyes and compressing his lips, the General roda on, and let the last man of his "company " live. 1 To Keep Meat FREsn. Mrs. L. A. Muller. Take enough water to cover the meat, make it moderately salt, and t6 each bucket full of water tha common wooden bucket take one' large tabW- spoonful of sulphito of licjeand one tea- spoonful of saltpetre, It is all important to keep every particle ot meat under water by press. . Soak the meet in fresh water over night, before using it, and it will be almost as good as fresh. I found veal kept in this way, at the end of six weeks, as seed as when first butchered, and beef, at the end of ten weeks, fresh enough to make excellent soup and roasts. As the season advances, and the heat increases, use more of the sulphite. Am; Agricul turist, -..'.;'..;-' i. ' M . II I.
