ALBANY, MrJaneawM. ThU well known mountain lies In the eastern limits of Linn county, about five miles south of east of the gem city of the valley, Albany. In view of the fact that the people liiEugette Portland, and other piaces claim In a ser lous manner, to have seen smoke arUIng from lit peak, the mountain I of pecu' liar Interest just now. Some people bo" licve these stories, w here at as a matler of fact, they are simply canards. The re port Is not a good en. 10 g forth, nor a pitt one. for as a matter ol (net Mt Jeficr son hss no Inclination towards e.eti the eruntton ot smoke. What has been seen I simply fog and smoky looking clouds, and it takes the eye of a Pollontus to con struct the sight Into am thing of a con- busllbte nature. Yesterday noon County Clerk MotUautie and Recorder Davis took a look in the direction o the moun tain, f com the top of the Court house, but the bank ot clouds and fog prevented even a vUlon of the mountain, A Drmochat man, wishing to be snlned, secured the rising you iir attomev. Mr Russell Wyatt, as a Kulde. and did the act In a morderate- ly clear sky, but the same kind of bank of cloud hovcied around the mountain, The following from the Salem State man, we believe la in the line ot other statement In reference to Ml Jefferson. The parties are (imply mUtaken as to the uciching, which we predict win oe found to he cloud and mist : It It should be clear to-day don't full to get where you can get a good view of hoary headed old Jefferson w hlch Is said lo be belching forth names. Those UUliint rumbling you have heard lately were from Jefferson and a man on a sightly hlil several miles to the southeast of Salem says he has caught several alimnseaoi smoke Usulna from Mi Jefferson within the past few day. Too Mut-it For Thkm, Two rural guest who occupied a room at the Golden Rule the other night, ay the Pendleton E. O., were much pusxtcd over that "gol- darned, new-fangled thing," the electric light. Their conversation, overheard by panic In the next room.wasa fj lows : "Can't you blow It out, Jack t" "Saw. blank the blanked concern, any. how." "Walt, let ma try," and a sound was heard like the laborious puffing of a steam boat a U round a point in the dUtance. Finally It appeared a though both were engaged In the "blowing-out" procees.antf were straining lungs and muscle to see which could blow tho hardest i all to no purpose. Al last a mulnest curse was heard, fal lowed by the consoling remark 1 "Wall, we might smother to death If we blowed out the consarned thing, let's let er burn." And so they did, tor the clerk turned It out In the morning. A Jaij. BatAic Tills morning the dis covery was made that all the prlsoneie In the county jail, six In number, had made good their escape. They evidently had assistance from the out side, for they had a piece of a spring made Into a taw with which they cut through tha boards on the Inside and then they removed a stone from the wa'l, making a hole barely large enough lo crawl through. At present there I no clue to their whereabwuts but the officers commenced searching for them as soon a it was learned that they had es csped. Reed, the Umber land swindler, was the worst man In the lot and he ha gone with the rest. Moat ot the other were waning tor th. grand jury on a charge of larceny. Eugene Reglter. Skvkkal Addition.

THE MONROE DOCTUINE. president Monroe's seventh annual message Decembers, 1833: The citizen of the United Stales cherish sentiments the most friendly la favor of the liberty and happiness of their fel low men on thtt sii'e of the Atlantic. In th. wart of the European Powerr.in matter relat ing to themselves, we have never taken any part, nor does it comport with our policy to do so, It U only when our rights are invaded or Mr oaiy menaced that we re cut injuries or make preparations for our defeme, With the mavemenis of this hemisphere we are of neces sity more Immediately concerned, and by causes fthfch mutt If obivoui to all enlighten ed and impartial observers, The political tys- ttm ol lu. allied Power, i. essentially different in this respect from that of America. This difference proceeds from that which exlsits in their respective Governments. And lo the defense of our own, which bus been achieved by the loss of 10 much blood snd trcsstre and maintained by the wisdom of their most enlight sneu citizens, and under which we Have en joyed unexampled felicity, this whole Nation is devoted. We owe if, therefore, to candor and lo tha amicable relation, existing between the United State, and those Powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part lo extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. With the existing wlonics or depen dencies of any European Power we have not inteifercd and shall not interfere. But with (he Government, who bave declared their in dependence we have, on great consideration and on Just principles, acknowledged we could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppressing them, or contrilling In any other manner their destiny, by any European power a any other light Ibsa a. the manifestatioa of a urhlcndly deposition toward the United State.. HOT WATtB KfcMKDII'JI. In many emergencie. hot water i not only easily obtainable, but also the very best remedy that coutd be used. A strip of fltnuet or napkin folded lengthwise and dipped In hot water and wrung out, and then applied around the neck of a child that haa the croup, will usually bring relief In ten minutes. A towel folded Mveral lime, and dipped in hot water and quickly wrung and applied over the toothache or neural gtk will generally afford prompt relief. Thl. treatment In colic work, tike magic. There I. nothing that so promptly cut. short a congestion of the lungs, sore throat or rheumatism as hot water when applied promptly and thoroughly. Tepid water act. prompt a. an emetic, and hot water taken freely half an hour before bed lime I. the best cathartic possible In the case of constipation, while It ha. a most soothing effect upon the stomach and bowel. Thl. treatment, continued a few months, with proper attention to diet, will cure any curable case of dyspepsia.

A FT tit ALL, 1 ne republican after all, now berln to think that it is not such a fine affair fi r ih tariff to be in the beads of lis friends. Tur log the last campaign we were told and retold, that there 1ioutd bj a reduction of the tariff, but that it must 1 don. by its friends, (the republicans,) and we were assured in ihe Jmost confident way that jnst a soon ss they came into power in all branches of the government, itch redaction weutd be mads. Wcil.they are ia power now.snd their ways and means com miltse are considering the suhjuct and the fact bjw develop, itself lhat Hut party "is all split lip," (as Mrs Duniway would say Jon th. sub ject, end it will be almost impossible for the party 10 agree upon any kind of a tariff bill. Some, (a Uri;e number,) want lo reduce the turptu. by reducing tbe internal tax on whisky and tobacco, but a few member, from Ihe north west My the reduction must be mae'e on inch necessaries as sugar, coal and iron. At this suggestion member, from coal, iron, and sugar district, declare they will never slsnd a reduction on these article. Republican. In the east want free wool while republican from tbe west want increased duties on that article, and thus it goes, all along the line of protect ed commodities, and It is not much wondtr lhat even Ihe Otrgonton is moved lo exclaim: "Tbe truth is, tariff legislation is a scramble of Klfith interests " This truth has been a long tim ia dawning upon the editor, vision, ba we venture the statement that before many months some more truth will break in upon the vision of the editor of lhat paper, VlCIOr ArlltNfs. No mora conclusive proof of our miser - able mode of assessment could be adduced than the one fact brougnt out at the as sessor', convention, namely, lhat mortga ge, are assessed at one half their value In Multnomah, Columbia, and Wasco coun ties; at two-thirds their value In Baker, Clackamas and Morrow; at three-fourth, their value In Union and Washington, and at their full value In Grant. Umatilla. Yamhill, Shcrmtn and,Llna. The great injustice done by thl. vicious mode of executing our assessment law. may be shown by a familiar example: Suppose a man in Columbia county loan, f 25,000 taking a real estate mortgage as security. If the tax levy be x mills and hi. mortgage 1. assessed at one half It. value the amount of his Use would be $150. A man la Yamhill loan. $15100 on real es tate and take, a mortgage. If the ttx levy be 3o mill, and hi. moatgsge 1. assessed at It face value hi. tax would be $500. Hera A with a capital of $ 5,00 pay. $250 mora than B who La. tha same capital and tha tag rate I tha same against each. Tha whole trouble and injustice arises from the tact lhat many assessors do not do their .worn duty. The law provide, that mortgsge. .hall ba assessed to the full amount of the debt unless In the judgment of the assessor the land or real property by which such debt is secured I. not worth as many dollar, as .till appear, unpaid of such debt. If all property were assessed in accordance with law there would be no trouble about the matter. Jl'DlClAlXY UrfKUJtlNED.
