We found the lie v. Jason Loo, the great
pioneer mineionary to the Pacific nhorcn, the
turuy patriot, tho unbendinc American.
hard at work at his pout on the whores of tho
Multnomah, ten mile below brilem, assisted
br hi devoted associates, La ward n, Shen
herd and Panic! Lee. It will he remembered
that Mr. Lee, of Canada, under tho direction
and patronage of tho Methodist MUsion
Board at New York, had left the United
states in'Apnl, 1831, under convoy of Cnpt.

markab'e call from those tribes for that
" Bm)k of God, and men to teacli it, " it ado
by that delegation of four Indians, who
reachoa St. Louis from o er the Kooky Moun
tains, in 1832. But Mr. Lee, after trater
ing the great interior, and crossing the
mountains, canto to tho same conclusion en
tertained by every mountain trader and trap
per, and of Catlin, tho great Indian traveler,
that white women could not enduro the toils,
hazzard and privations of tho overland
route, and abandoned the idea of tho Nez
ferccs country as a tar 11111; point ; and be
ing permitted by his instructions, pushed on
down to the lower Columjia to get in rench
of shipping. And on reaching the valley of
too Multnomah he saw at once tho value 01
the choice he had made, and blessed God for
thus directing (ns teps. He saw (the gloomy
representation of the II. B. Co., to the con
trary notwithstanding) that tho Willamette
valley would, at no very distant day, bo the
theatre of white settlement, where his mis
sion establishment would bo right in place
among his countrymen. Mr. I-eo made up
hi report to the Board in .New xork accord
ingly, and Kent for his lady missionaries to
come around Cape Horn, the overland
journey could not e endured y whlti) wo
men. Uut bod, a s upenduus erents have
proved, iiad determined that these vat gold
fieldfl-fur ages hid from tho eye of man
should IjO developed in these Iat uavs, and
by American hands, to be ready in part for
tho great national debt now upon us, and in
part to speed on the goifpel wheels oi mira
tion. For this end, these vast, unknown,
wild regions must b settled bv American
settlement, but the pioneer settler from the
Western State could not drive his ox team
around Cape Horn or through the Straits of
Magellan, lo reach Oregon, an emigrant
route over the mountains and across the des
erts 1nu.1t bo had ; and God chose his own
mean, bow simple ! how cheap! ! J to ac
complish that work. Not a John Jacob As-
tor with his immense wealth and iron will,
not the United States with her boasiirg
trumpet, nor yet the Methodist church, with
her thou sands of devoted ppcr and miners :
all tb?M had tried and failed ; but four Indi
ans from the Itocky Mountain, two white
women and one white man, of the Presbyter
ian church ; not the gold of the Indies, or of
thcwnrld, but two words from the mouth of
tneirbeloved Jeusf go tench."
Mr, Lee's lady mis.iunarie, sailing via.
Cape Horn and the Hawaii Inlands, after a
voyogo of nearly twenty thousand miles,
passed the then much dreaded bar of the
Columbia river, and readied Vancouver May
S37, ten months aftof cur ladSe entered
Oregon by the South Pa,' &nd eight months
after they had reached that tt. Too much
praise and admiration ennnut be nwardfcd to
these heroic and devotol women who thus
took their lives in their hands, bid farewell
to the civilized world and its home comfort,
and cheerfully faced the hazzards i.f that long
voyage, to come to the help of the devoted
Le, and hi little band, in their mo-t laud'
able efforts to ameliorate the moral condi
tion of the native tribes ; to kindle the flame
of civilization on these then dArk ehores.
Tl arrival of thce well educated and ac
complihed ladies in tho Willamette valley,
was an event of the greatest nalue, not to too
little band of missionaries only, but to the
little settlement of white men from all parts
of the world, mostly discharged servant of
the II. 1. Co., and rangers from the mount
ains with Indian wives. Tho arrival of the
misionary ladtes seemed to invigorato and
give new life even to the dements ; the at
moxphere seemed to le breathed more freely,
and the sun to give a new light in the cabin,
as the white man looked around upon his
Indian wife, in her Indian trinket, and his
half-breed children, who now had a bright
prospect before them. He raw at once the
contrast between the present aud his boy
hood days ' and felt as never before, tho great
work on hi hands, if he would redeem his
character And h;nor his race; fit his half
Indians and half civilized borne and child
ren for the devoted attentions of these newly
arrived guardians of civilized society, and
'rnahfti)ly perform his part in building- up a
p2rm Incnt civilized, ' .Community, which" he
saw fairly commenced. And well did many
of these men with Indian families, d'o their
part' in laying the foundations cf jho early
settlements, in securing gbod ordar, encour
aging schools' stimulating enterprise, in do
fending the ejual rights of tHo Americans
with the British, and in the protracted and
bitterly opposed,' but succeed! labor to ce
tabHiiirtbe Provisional Government, How
fhe warmest' gratitude and earnest admira
H6nl"is dup the rpemory of those early mis
sionary women, who have fallen or are yet
laboring at their posts, from the hundreds of

inousfinqs now in meir nappy nomes on inis
coast, enjoying the abundant fruits of their
early self sacrifices and hazzards, their tears
arid prayers. -V n . ?
Theltev. Jason Lee may well be counted
the father of American settlements on this
coast. The principal agent in tho organi
zation and stability, of tho. infant, govern
ment ; tho instigator of that vastly import
ant and successful cattle enterprise, to Cal
ifornia in 1837, which resulted, by the per
severance of Mr. Lee, and tho aid of Capt.
Slocum, of the U. S. Navy, in fringing G50
head of cattle into tho Willamette valley,' in
spite of the Indians, who attacked them on
tho Shasta mountains, and tho II. B. Co.,
who opposed the measure from the begining.
These cattlo were distributed among the set
tlers according to the articles of thocompact,
and laid the foundation' for a rapid accumu
lation of wealth and comforts in the oountry.

Tho Chicago Journal lias a correspon
dent who is strolling through the Holy
Land and Palestine. Ho is not particu
larly impressed with its present utate,
whatever its past may have been. He
says :
'I have not seen a wagon road in Pal
estine. Kvcn the f tones and timber for
building the houses of Jerusalem inuMbe
brought into the city upon the back of
camcU and donkey ; and the roads over
which Abraham, "pavtd, Christ and tho
Apo.itle.i once traveled aro hut paths
wiuding over rockg and around tho la&e
of sterile mountains. In fact, this whole
land, aid to have been once to heauuiul,
is uow hut a rocky, barren waste. 1
think I have seen more good land in otic
square mi!ein Iowa or Jllinoia than in all
Palestine.
"Much of the country it occupied by
the Bedouin AraW, and for the privilege
ot visiting the river Jordou an J Dead Sea

son. For this amount he send guard of
Arabs with you.
The population of Jerusalem is nor?
said to bo but 11,000. Tho correspond
ent, upon this fact, moralizes thus:
A hue looking at Ihc city a it now

that it was once the home of more than
one million human beings; and the proud
metropolis ol a mighty nation.- V hue
looking out of the window at the Mcwque

That pot is Mount Moriah. Upon (hat

Great men have, as a rule, had
fttrong, handsome, finc-fibercd. endu
ring bodies. Napoleon was very
strongly ana handsomely built, and
had immense powers of working and
enduring fatigue, So had Welling
ton, Humboldt all his long life need
ed only four hours a day sleep. Aas
siz is a man of prodigious physical
vigor. Charlcrnango wis - of colossal
stature and vast physical strength.
Washington ; was an . exceedingly
strong man, Henry Ward Beecheris
remarkably powerful in hi make,
strong limbed, deep-ehestcd, heavy,
and, at the same time, quick and ac
tive. Daniel Webster was of massive
hysical proportions. Henry Clay
md immense endurance. So had S.
S. Prentiss, probably the most won
derful orator the Lntted States ever
produced, and who could travel, speak,
eat, talk, plead in court and gamble
over a faro table' for three or four
days without sleeping at all, and look
all; fresh arid bright when he got
through. ; : ;
All great soldiers have had great
strength and endurance. Of Welling
ton and Napoleon and Ca?sar I have
spoken. Frederick the Great had it ;
and ilar&hall Saxe,' the greatest man
of his age, and Charles XII. cf Swe
den, and Gustavus Adolphus, Great
philosophers and great poets and ar
tists have not Ijten so remarkable for
vast strength and firmness of texture
and (in cases of tbo poets, at least,)
for personal beauty, Goethe was
wonderfull v handsome aqd stately in
person. Shakesrear was a handsome
man. Milton was singularly attrac
tive in person, Byron, though lame,
had otherwise an extremely line face
and person. Tennyson is a man of
great strength and commanding phy
sique. Southey and Wadsworth were
men of fine person. Keats was hand
some. Raphael, Albert Purer, Michael
Angclo, Titian, Leonardo de Vinci,
Reubens arid Vandyke were all men
of very beautiful or of very stately
personal appearance.
Congresv a Usurper,
Old Thad. Stevens, who is by all odds
tho ablest and clearest-headed leader, in
the Jacobin party, has written a letter
concerning tho conflict of authority be
tween tho President and General Grant
in which he says the President is in the
right. The President's authority as Commander-in-chief
over all subordinate mili
tary ofScers is, Mr. Stevens says, the same
now that it was before Congress passed
the reconstruction bills, and, moreover it
must remain the same so long as tho Con
stitution is not wholly disregarded. Mr.
Stevens, as usual, says it is all the fault
of tho Senate that it is not otherwise.
"Somo of tho members of tho- Seriate,"
he says', 'sccm to doubt their power un
der tho Constitution which Jhey had just
repudiated, and wholly outsidcof which
all agreed that we were acting, else our
whole worjc 0 reconstruction was usurpa.
tion." 'j . ; :;
Uerh h the whole truth in a nutshell.
If tho Constitution be the supreme law
of tho land, the whole work of recon
struction on which Jacobinism has enter
ed is a usurpation. This is precisely
what Mr. Johnson told Congress, in two
or thrco successive veto messages. n Mr.
Stevens has the candor and- honesty not
to attempt any sophomorical excuse of
Congress on the score or Constitutional
right. He meets the question on the on
ly possible ground of argument, and says
that Cougress repudiated the Constitu
Uon and acted wholly outside of it.
. Congress, by tho statement of Mr.
Stevens, is a revolutionary body, acting
in open rebellion against the Constitution
al government of tho United States.
As such, revolutionary, body, would or
would not tho Constitutional Eveoutive of j
the Government bo wajrantodl in calling
out 75,000 troops ' to disperse Congress
and restore the Constitution?. - ;
Tho , Congress which assembled at
Montgomery, Alabama, in 18 Gl, repudia
ted tho Constitution and acted, wholly
outside of it.: That Congress; assumed to
execute its; ; legislative f enactments, not
through this Constitutional Executive, but
by military. agents acting in defiance of
his CoijsUtutiQnal. authority against the
usufpaiiqos' of tha,t usurping . Congress
that I'r. Johnson's predecessor called out
75,000 troops to disperse that revolution
ary body. ,-, Can !Mr. Stevens, or any other
Jacobin, point out any reason that would
justify Mr. Lincoln in dispersing the Con
federate Congresr tor repudiating ' the
Constitution and acting wholly outside1 of
it whiph would not also justify Mr. John
son in dispersing the Rump Pongress for
doing exactly, tho sane. thing? ...
General Lee on School Discipline
A report on school discipline, submit-
mitted to the Educational Convention in .
Richmond, Virginia, last month, was prc ,
pared by General Roeeet E. Lee. He
gives his idea of what teachers should be
as follows r ; : .
" Tho selection of the- proper persons
for the ofSce of teacher is a matter of tho
first importance, and as its duties require .
long and comprehensive preparation, it
should be regarded as among the most ,
honorable and important professions, and
bo committed to those whoso beneficial :
influence and instruction shall embrace;
morals and leligion, as well as the intel-!
lect. The teacher should be the exemplary
of the pupil. He should aim at the
highest attainable proficiency, and not at
a pleasing mediocrity; Unless he can "1
teach those committed to his care to think ,
and to work, and can impart to them vigor
with learning, there can be no real ad
vance. - He must study the character and.t
disposition of his pupila, "and., adopt- hUj
course of discipline to their peculiarities, f
Above all he must be uniform, consistent,,
firm, kind in his conduct, teach more by;
acts than words, and show the children
under hii charge that he has : their . truo :
interest at heart. He should look ,upon;
them not only as the parents of a new'
generation, but also as heirs of immortal
ity, and while preparing them for useful-.;
ncss in this life, instil into their iraprezsi-
ble mind.i principles of piety and relig
ion ; for if it be true, as taught by histc-,4
ry, that greatness depends upon virtue,
it js equally true that religion is the foun
tain and support of virtue.
Should the daily business of the school
bo conducted on such principles, and the -pupils
bo trained m the habita of obedi-.
ence, reverence and truthfulness, and , ho.
convinced that they aro noble and lovely
in themselves, and their practice manly' -
and honorable, the main object of educa
tion will have been attained.
. In addition to these moral influences,
a teacher should be clothed with all the -authority
of the parent in the discharge!
of his duties, and be sustained by him so ' 7
long as he may intrust his child to his,
care. That he may be kept.; constantly.
informed of the conduct of hte., child,. '
weekly, quarterly and . yearly reports of r2
his progress should be sent him by the
teacher, in which should be stated his ab-.
fences, late attendance and misbehavior..' ;
Certificate cf advancement should like-
wise be given to those who excel in stad-
ics and conduct. The system of punish'
raent ought to be as simple and mild as it.
can be made effective, and when coercioa
ha to bo resorted to, it should generally,
be left to the parent. Should admonition,
restriction of recreation, etc., fail to pro- n
ducc the desired effect, and the pupil ob-? '
stinately resist the patient expostulation -of
the teacher, there will then be no, u
other resource than to return him to his s
parents as one t5nwcitiy a place in tfces -
