They came into the fitting-rm, broke down the Mair d-or, and were coming up ftair. The women collected around Mr. Whitman, who lay bleeding. "The Indian are coming: we are to die, but nrn not pre pared. What ffiall we do?" The gapping atnt, with her dying breath, replied earn estly and calmly: ''Go tJeu and ak him and he will nve you." Thti the faithful missionary fpent her last breath. Someime fcatd : "Put that old gun-b-arrel over the nt.nirway to frighten them." Mr. W. re plied : "Let ft-ll prepare to die." Mr. ling er went to the head of the Mair, jnike Ut Totiif ueky, who aid : "Th young men have done thi : they will burn t1e houe to nigfit ; you had leuer all cmue down and g over to the big lnuo w here we will take care of you," Oh, the dem-n that could thu throw them off their guard at the lat tno tnent. Kliza. jut out among the children, could hear all thi. ami knew now what the Indi an arranged along the house with their gun drawn were waiting for. Fearful moment f r the dear child, a hhc heard the Mcp coming down tair and approaching the fa tal dour, but of eourte he con d give no warning. Mr. Kimball, Catherine, Kliza beth, aii-1 the ti(-k children, remained in the chamber. , Mr. Roger, Mr. Whitman nnd Mi IJewley came down. The Doctor' face had lecu terribly cut, after Joe came in, but he wa yet breathing nlowly. Mr. XV. faint e. .Stppoing he wa ti be faved, fhchad t-dd them to get omo cl-thing from tholed rHim. They laid her ujhui a ettee. and Je and Mr. linger tik it tip, pael into the kiteheu, Mi Hewlew ahead, over the body of John, out of the kitchen door, and about the length nf the ettee, when Mr. Roger aw hi doom, atid both dropped the settee. Mr. R. had only time to raie hi haul and exclaim, "31y God, have mercy J" when the gun fired. An Indian seized France by the hair of the head, .while Lewi jerked one of hi pifetol from hi belt, put the muz zle to Frances' neck and fired, blowing the whole charge into the boy' throat. Mr. II gers fell upon hi face ; Mr. Whitman, Mr. 11 ger uml France were all three hot in Mcventl places, but not killed. Tho ball flew all al"Ut tho children, riddling their clothes. One pased through Mi liewley'a clothes and burned her finger, but none" of them were .hit. - Tho Miioke, blood and brain flew all over them, a they stood trembling and silent with terror. "Several naked Ravages gathered around Mi Hewlcy with drawn tomahawks, but when ho tp rwd screaming they led her away to the large house. And now commenced a cene beyond the reach of the pen, and which must "convince any unprejudiced mind that there is a hell in the human heart, if nowhere else. The poor helplc children were compelled to witness it. The Indian women and children were particularly vxtive yelling, dancing and singing the Hcalp-dahce. Mrs. Whitman was thrown violently from the Hettec into the mud. They tried to rido their horses over the bodies, but the horse refused. They slashed the face of their dying victims with their whips, and as they would writhe and groan it only increased the glee of the Indi an women' and children. Tbey leaped and screamed for joy, throwing handfuls of blood around, and unnking down the dying ago nies of their victims as a precious draught. Tho children were Jed over to , the large houso, and the yells of the savages died away. The horrible scene was changed from the dead and dying to the living and helpless, and became more terrific because death could not come to the relief of the sufferers. Help, less wives and daughters, with their hus bands and fathers dead or dying in ' sight ; girls so young that the knife had to bo used,1 subjected to the brutalities of the naked, painted demons four or five at a time glut ting their hell-born passions upon one of these most to be pitied of our fellow mor- tais. ; ; , ; v , 1 The three sufferers yet breathing continu ed to groan on tU' in the night, as beard by Mr. Osborne and family, who lay concealed under the floor near by.

The facility with which parties in the marriage relation may obtain a divorce is beginning to attract such a share of attco tioti, and t felt to be so great a scandal, that wc shall not be surprised to see the legislatures of the different States taking hoi 1 of the subject aud adopting more stringent laws than now prevail. Ilishop Whitehouc, in his late addrccs to the Diocesan Convention of Illinois, deemed thi evil worthy of notice, and he refers to it in the following duqueut terms ; The facility of separation destroy all mutal conGdcncc, aud influences every trilling dispute. 1 here arc solemn warn ing iu this fearful social decadence on the page of history. Gicecc and Home, for age, tfiiame our i,hristun licentiousness. Unman philosophers, poet a and satirists held up to public scorn aud indignation the wanton and cxtcnivo abuse of liber ty of divorce which did not probaly equal our, l he institutions of Komulus made the marriage indissoluble, and though the ttvelvo tables gave to the husband the ficcdom of divorce, yet the republic had existed five hundred years when tho first instance of divorce occurred, and the distinguished experiment was loaded for it with public opprobiuni. Augustus en deavored by law to put some restraint up on tho faeilty of divorce, but tho check w as overpowered by the prevailing corrupt ness of manners. It was tho beginning of the end, when the great nation perish ed. utterly destroyed by itsown corruption. When tho French revolution swept away tho usages of ages and the sanctity of religion, its special war seemed against the marriage contract, und six thousand d.vorcesarc said to have taken place in the city of ran alone, in the space of two years and three months. Ihe llomun Catholic Church sustains the absolute indissolubility of the mar riage tie, and iu thu State of S"Uth Caro lina, where the same scrupulous policy existed, it is stated that no, instance occur ed of a dsvision of any k nb,' cither by the sentence of a court of justice, or by the act of Legislature, from the revolution to the opening of the recent struggle. If there be a truth beyond all question, whero God's Jaw, social experience, the uniform record ofourspecics,every8cource of testimony,' warning and appeal occur, it is tho sacred ness of the marriago bond, and the national dec ine which attends a tolerated disregard or facile rupture of its divino constitution. j : Tho canon law, though less peremptory in thd esteem of the Anglican churches than in the council of Trent, has fully sus tained the obligations of "holy matrimo ny," and will not allow any excuse except incontinence as valid for cootracting of another1 marriage. , ' Advertise -An exchange asks the following perttneut questions, aod an swers them, too : AVhat made Barnum and Girard.rich ?

II i:UV CLAY DEAN, OF IOWA, At tho Democratic Jollfication at Dayton. When Mr. Houk concluded his re marks, the peoplo called lot)"; and loud for Mr. Vallatidigham, but aflcr order und silence was sufficiently restored for the audience to to informed that II. Clay Dean, of'Iowa, was on the stand and would address the people, they became orderly und attentive. II. CLAY DKAN's DI-KECII. Mr. I lean said : I can now realize that improbable prophecy of a nation born in a day. Three years ago Lincoln was cn- fhroned in glory and power, and the fiat ofhtantm could imprison without the mi thority of law the bravest, boldest and pu rest patriot on the continent. 1 here was no security for cither life, liberty, property or tho pursuit of happinc.- Vullandighum was torn from his home. Hi family sat in bereavement. Society was clothed in mourning. The people of a great fctatc had lost their remedies for liberty. Trial by jury, writ of Unbmn vorjmn, free speech, free pres, and all those sacred heir-loom of nntish liberty that had cost the best blood of a hundred generation in Kurope and Aineriea, were swept down by one unhcly stroke. Cheers Human nature had no power to depict; the human mind was not prepared to aj prcciale ; for history had furnished no example in which all that was precious in memory, all ihut was delightful in hope, all that was endearing to life itself wa thu swept away. And in the dark fore- boding A eminent statesmen, we were but entering into tho twilight of eternal dark tic. A CHANGE. The scene ha been shifted, and such a change has come over the destinies of the American people that life itself seems an improbable romance. Applause. Five acre of living human being attest ing that Valbndigham still lives! Tre mendous cheering. That liberty will be vindicated. App;aujo. And all that ha been lo.-t in tho terrible conflict is re gained by the sober second thought of the people. Applause, A more sinking illustration can scarce ly be conceived than this: that Mrs. Val latidigham sat alone in her deserted dom icile ; the houi-e battered down by tyrants aud the town desolated by predatory mA diers. The general gloom that hung over the land was: in singular contrast with the revelry, profligacy, riot and ostentation of the XX htte Hou-e. To day the scene is changed. Applause. The banished patriot returns to Ins home. A whole people rush to receive him in their arms. Prolonged applause. The tyrant .Stanton who imprisoned him U thrown out of office, an outcast iron, so ciety, like aa evil spirit seeking rest and fiuding none. Applause. Aud with the ghost of the murdered Mrs. Surratt. fleeing front the presence of Sheriff and Provost MarshaL, ever at his side Applause. Poor Mrs. Lincoln, bereft of her hus band, divested i fortune, broken in spir it, deserted by friends, without property, or patronaie, or holp, or hope, with her favorite child wandering with her through the land, seeks to dispose ofhet wardrobe to supply her daily bread. Insulted by her old f riends, deserted by the ingratcs who entered upon power through her rec ommendation, she forebodes thccvilahcad, changes her name, abandons the falc glo ry of a morbid reign of terror, and teeks rcluge in a life of obscurity. To night, on the other hand, Valland- igham, the banished patriot, returns amid the greetings of the people to receive the homage lavished upon him. Thurmao. the son of Old Virginia, turns with proud exultation to his mother, who, alas! yet sits in chains, aud bids her be of good cheer, f Prolonged applause.! To-night, Pendleton is endorsed by Ohio as her first choice for President en thusiastic cheer, and to this every Wes tern Stato will respond. The whole Mis sissippi Valley realizes the change, and sUnds purged of its treason and infidelity to principle, aud henceforth the change is clear, permanent and perpetual. Ap plause. It is fitting that Ohio should have been the first of all the States to bear testimo ny against all these crimes, for it was Ohio that gave us Wade, the demagogue, and made him Senator, then Governor, then Senator again. It was Ohio that cursed the land with a Chase and sent Giddings to tho House. It was Ohio that equipped Johu Browti for tho Virginia raid, and furnished food tor tho great Abolition party for nearly a quarter of a century. But in atonement for all this, as the first born daughter of Virginia, she emulates her, aud gives usValIandigham,Thurman, Pendleton, Morgan, Van Trump, and a host of others glorious, immortal states men, who lor a quarter of century yet to como shall dictate the destinies of the country, and stand as a vanguard to civil liberty. Prolonged applause. The change ; means something. It means that the poorest, weakest, and most insignificant of tho people" shall bo insured tho right of trial by jury. It means tho perpetuity of a-freo press, of tree speech, of tho rights of ; conscience, and all those sacred rights endeared to our . fathers, and 'which cost tho' best bbod'of our race. Applause. It means that no : man shall suffer confiscation of property, bo robbed of liberty or deprived of life, or the rights of franchise without duo process of law. It means that bravo, bold men who faced danger and death in the terrible hour of revolution, who hold high the standard of liberty, shall -not be sacrificed to thoso who abandoned the lib erties of the country and the rights -of man to the indiscriminate destruction of tyrants and usurpers. Applause. . It means that civilization' shall rulo barbarism. It means that Christianity shall not givo way to laoiatry. - it means that tho Constitution of tho United States shall hi the supremo law of. the land. The Constitution shall b interpreted by tho Supreme Court instead of being in terpreted by an ungovernable mob.' The late election in Ohio means the abolition of tho present financial system, and of standing armies, of collectors, assessors, spies and pimps, of tariffs and stamps. and, in a word, all the odious elements of monetary despotism, It means the payment of the bonds in greenbacks, the equalization of taxation, the emancipation of labor from the des potism of capital. It means that the bondholder who bought Government e curiticsat thirty four cents on the dollar has no right to expect the full payment in gold. It means that there shall be but one currency for the rich and poor. It means that public robbery, no matter how carefully contrived, can never uc cess fully be practiced upon a free people Applause. Ohi" may well bo proud of her states men, her jurists and he.r generals. But they are likewise the c'lildrcn of Dcraoc- racv as well as uruo. rno mere evanes cent popularity or ephemeral glory can place any mere man above the. tvmstitu tional law and the great glory of these States. Ohio cheers her statesmen, and chides the foolish ambition of her upstart military generals. Perry county, the home of Phil. Sheridan, repudiates his petty despotism by her magnificent ma- jority for Thurman. Applause Thurman a Democracy is endorsed by the glorious majority of Fairfield. The power of Grant to control eveo the least influence of the people of Ohio con trary to principle, is indicated by the vote of his birth place. But this great victory of ours i but tlie prelude the index finger that points to that general revolution which shall sweep over the Mississippi, and change our bad fortunes and fix our destiny, and make this great valley the glory of the whole earth. Applause. No such revolution as this was ever ar rested. It cannot be arrested. It will sweep on with increasing volume and ac celerated force, until Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, sisters of the great State of Ohio, all daughters of grand old Virginia, shall stand fide by side in vin dication of the great principles taught by Jcffc'ron, Mad'son, Monroe and Jackson. The Missouri Slope will catch the echo of the shout of victory, and gallantly re spond, and the revolution will spread un til the whole land is restored to liberty. and the whole people bound in chains of blessedness and love. Appluse Let this work go bravely on.

Ap plause. Then will all the States unite together in fraternal love and harmony, for the protection of all our constitution al rights. Applause. When we shall have accomplished a combination of our natural powers and resources, it will be the proudest day of our nalionl history. Applause. When we are thus combin ed to resist our natural enemies, we will emancipate our commerce, our labor, and our productive power from the grasp of Eastern capital. Let the Democrats of the Mississippi Valley understand at once and forever that we feed and clothe New England and New York- that we hold the breath of their life, the sources of their wealth, in our hands. Let us henceforth teach them that wc speak and it is done, we command, and it stands fast. That we will no longer listen to the dictation of such mercenary sheets as the New York World, nor .such truckling politicians as arc employed by Eastern capital. But conscious of our own strength, determin ed in our own rectitude, combining with our sisters of the Western States, we will have at least an equal share in dctcrmin ing the destinies of the American Union These are the lessons taught by tho late elections. Hon. Geo. II. Pendleton on the Sew York Tribune. The Times, on yesterday, commented on articles wntcn appeared on tho same day in the New York Times and the New 1 ork Tribune, charging Hon. Geo. II. Pendleton aud tho Democracy of Ohio, in the political canvass which is now going on in that State, with a purpose of repu diating tho Government indebtedness. Mr Pendleton, in a recent speech, said, in substance, that the five-twenty bonds issued by the Government were redeema ble, according to their terms, in either gold or greenbacks, at tho option of the Gov ernment. Thje Tribune says that this is" a gross misstatement of fact," and that Mr. Pen- dleton, in making it, did "talk like a vil lain.' , e , . Now, jt is incumbent on the Tribune to show it hat the bonds of this class specify that they shall be paid jn coin. Thej ten forty bonds of the Government do soj explicitly specify. In the abscence of any such specification in the five-twenties, tho natural presumption, in view of tho eixistenco of tho legal tender act, wouhjl be that the Government may elect whether it will pay this class of bonds in gold or Treasury notes. , . Thje statement of Mr. Pendleton was, that tho in terest on the five-twenties should be poiid in coin, but that" the Govern ment did not contract to pay the 1 princi pal. .. .. : . : v . . ;-. ;!f , ,. v The act of June 30, 1864, authorizing the issue of $100,000,000 of five-twenties, does 8ay that' the interest shall be paid in coin, 'but it does not say that the principal shallbc so paid. 3 1 : ;r j ' v i The acts of February 25, 1862, and of March 3k1864, under , which 514,000. 000 tf five-twenties were issued, do not say that either the principal or the inter est shall bo paid in coin. , ; The act or March 3, 1865, under which $103542,500 five-twenties . were issued, does Jnot say that either the principal or interest shall be paid in coin. : u , Tfcere are about $1,100,0003000 of five- twenties outstanding. Will the Tribune " tell by what act or action of tho Secretary of the Treasury, in the discretionary power given him, the Government is obli gated or has contracted to pay them in coin ? A somewhat careful look into the various laws authorizing the issue of five--twenties has convinced ns that the Trib-, une has been more zealous than discreet io charging Mr. Pendelton with being a ' liar, and with having indulged in speech" "like a villian." The point is a simple' one. Let us know how the Government has contracted to pay the five-twenties in gold. Either the Tribune or Mr. Pendle ton has lied. II. G. will not lie, , save when the fortunes of the party "engaged, in the interests of God and humanity' rniy be advanced by falsehood. Mr. Pen dleton will not Ho under any ciroumetaa ces. . II. G. has bailed Jeff. Davis, because he believed that a man accused of crime should be granted a trial within a reason able length of time. This was Demo-. crati5 wc use the word not in its lexu cographical, but party ense.; He has de clared for impartial suffrage. This, also, is Democratic. He has also given the Union League Club and the G. A. B,' a severe castigation. In this he acted in' harmony with Democratic ideas. Does his frankness, his independence of spirit, his truthfulness and just concep tions, in relation to certain public issues, give him an immunity to lie on other questions? This matter of paying the Government indebtedness in coin or currency must be met with something else than lies or vi tuperation. It is not a subject which can be "squelched " by such agencies. Geo. II. Pendleton, in demanding that the Government shall pay its debts ac cording to the term of iu contracts, does not "talk like a villian." Party interests may be subserved by denouncing him as one, and by " gross, misstatements of facts but such tactics can only be temporarily successful. It is not pleasant to charge willful and delib erate lying on one of the most prominent newspapers in the country j but we sub mit to our readers the facts, with the in junction to inquire whether . this charge, under the circumstances, has transgress ed the proprieties of journalism. Oregon nranch Pacific Raillload On Tuesday, the articles of incorpora tion for this company were completed and placed on file in the office of the Secretary of State, by 3Ir. Odcll of Eugene City, who, with Mr. Pengra, has been very much interested in the success of the en terprise. This company organizes to con-, struct a branch railroad, leaving the main Pacific road at the Big Bend ol the Hum boldt river in the State of Nevada, cross ing the Cascade mountains by the route of the Central Military Wagon Road, and traversing the Willamette valley to Port-, land. Mr. Odell, in his summer survey ing tour, has examined almost all the re gion through which this road is proposed to be constructed cast of the mountains, and has been at pains to give us a full and caieful description of the country and its resources. The mountain pass is very favorable. The highest elevation attain ed is about 5.000 feet. The grade need not exceed 80 feet to the mile, and the lands along the road line can be settled and cultivated to advantage for the entire distance over the mountains. The sum mit is attained in about 110 miles from Eugene, and about 90 after entering the canon formed by the McKenzie or middle fork of the Willamette, "which it ascends for that distance. The descent to Des-" chutes is made in twenty miles, the plain 1 traversed by the road at the eastern base, having an altitude of 4,C00 feet, Tim ber is very abundant until the southern boundary of the State is reached. -The country to be traversed by the road is the garden spot of the vast interior region, t abounding in beautiful and fertile valleys, winding among the ridges, and certain to draw thither a great population when easy communication is afforded. The sage plains lie north and south of it, and it pos-' scsscs great value as an agricultural and -. grazing region. B. J. PengraEsq., has gone to Wash ington to labor to secure Government aid, . -j tl ; - lor mis enterprise, aou ins success u ; matter in which our State has a deep in terest. It is gratifying to know that very ..; great influence is enlisted in its favor, and tho press and tho congressional dele- gation of California are warmly in favor of the granting of a government subsidy to assist it. &alem Itecord. .
