The amount of capital invested is about forty thousand dollars. Tho entsrpriso is a grand one, and merits sucocss. The princi pal part of the wnter used in propp ing Uio machinery has been obtained bp cutting a canal from the Sanliam, turning such portion of tho water of the Santiaiu to flow down Mill Creek, as may ba necessary to propel any amount of machinery.

Snmo weeks since a Mr. Morris of Lnno county, married n young lady, tho daughter of n Mr. Cummlng, living somo 12 miles from Eugeno City. Hie pnrcnts and family of tho young lady, as alio sovernl or tho neighbors, were ennvorts of tho spirit rapping hnlur inn tion. After Morris bad married tho girl and taken her homo, it is reported thnt a meeting of tho spirit rappers took place at Mr. Cummlng's liouso, and after rapping up sovornl dead per sons' spirits, they found ond that told them that tho girl's marringo with Morris was wrong, nnd that it was ro corded in heavun that alio should mnr. ry a young gantloman in tho neighbor, hood by tho namo of Gnlo, who bad fircviously been paying attention to lor. nnd was a spirit rapper. This helnc proof oonclusiro that tho mnr. rinco with Morris was wronir, the fa ther of tho young lady succeeded in betraying his daughter into his custo dy, nnd refused to let hor return to hor husband, who becamo wonderfully excited, nnd finally sued out a habeas corjms, and had tho partios brought bo fore Judge Uoiso, of Uio socond Judi. olal District. After several days' in vestigation, the Jixlgo discharged tho girl from tho custody of hor fatuor, in torminc hor alio was at liborty to no with whom alio ptoased, ns she wr-a of legal ago to wako a marriage contract.

In this shapo tho question of their admission will come beforo the House, without waiting for its special commltteo of fif teen to report, and it is believed by loading Democrats and by the Admin istration that in this way Kansas will be admitted under tho Lncompton con stitulinn thoro being an ascertained majority in favor of such a course. Tho whnlo country will rejoice when this vexed question of "bleeding Kan sas" shall bo finally disposed of, for it has already occupied too much of the attention of the government aud the country. I neUeeJbsl tho correspondents of some of rh FJapen Mate that the Terri torial committee of the Senate have re solved to report against the admission of Oregon as a State, on the ground that sHe has not the requisite popula tion. I have the aathority of General Lane In saying that there is not a word of truth in'lbit report, but on the con trary the Senate committee have not even mooted the question of population, hut have Bwanimously agreed (to report a bill, and- to recommend the early ad mission of Oregon as a State. The bill for .the increase of .the army issUll being debated before tho Senate, bub bw been temporarily laid aside for a few .day in-eoniiequenco of the ill ness jof GeH.,Pv4., There is evident ly a majority of-the Senate against any increase' e4 the regular army, and J have every reason' to.beliovothst wlie.; the bill finally pisses U will aulboriz the President to raise regiments of vol unteers to servo daring the war. The gallant and bravo Gen. Harney is now here, having been sent for from Kansas by the 8 coretary of War. It is understood, thnt ho is to bo sent to tho Pnclfiocountry, ond have command ol that military division. Ho h to have olinrgo of tho .principal movements ngnlnsl tho Mormons, and commence operations from some ensterh;nolil(ol California, nnd Walla-Walla. Ho Is oxpecled to leavo hero for tho scono of his duties In tho next stoamcr. The President has font into tho Scnnto the nnmo of Col. Johnston, who has com mand of the troops on this sldo of Utah, for promotion to tho brevet rank of lirigndtor ucnorni. i no ytinriermns ter tienornl has mndo arrangements to sond immense nnny supplies for tho troops, to rrnch them by tho timo they comnicnco nctlvo measures against tno Mormons in tho spring. Ilo hns made one contract with Russoll.JonosoiCo. which amounts to the enormous sum of 91,700,00011 besides contrsrts with others. Tho contracts for tho Pacific sldo will doubtless bo entrusted to tho direction of Gen. Harney, and will give somo of your Oregon boys an oppor tunity to increnso their "pile" of golden rocks. Tho Houso hns donohnrdly anything slnco tho commencement of tho session, except to aulhorizo the appointment of select committees to inquire into tno frauds alleged to hnvo boon perpetrated during tho last Congress, when the Dlack Republicans woro largoly in the majority, and to dispose of refractory witnesses who refuse to ans'.ror the questions propounded to them. There aro now no less than six special com mittccs organizod for tho purposo of making these investigations. Among tho nuinbor there is a commltteo raised to Innuiro as to what persons roceivod any portion nf tho sum of 987(000 from tho broken firm of Lawrence, 8tono& Co- of Itoslon. whose Iwoks showed, upon an invostlgatlonnslituled by their creditors, that thoy had paid that cum to aid in getting tho tariff bill through, which nassrd last Congress. The com mittee havo dltcovorcdthal 958,000 of this money wasrecoived by a Mr. Wol colt, of Hoston, who, upon being sum moned beforo them, has declined to an swor what bo dono with the money, Ho hns boon brought boforo tho House, and still refusing to nnsvror, tlio Huuso, by n voto of 153 t.i 50, ordered his comniiiiiu to mo common jmi lor con-. , -e i. ...ii. ...!... qi...i.i t.. .,nil lUIUIJt Ul lift UUM1UIIIJ.

Wo aro-ln tho midst of tho gayest season ovor known iu tho Metropolis of the nation. As a speolmoc, I 'will mention the round of fashionable life for ono day. On last Monday, In tho morning there wero "roocptlons" held by a number of the ludfes of dlstin- SuUhod politicians, betides a matinee ansanle, and at night there was near ly nl )ho secretary ol tho Navy's house which was largely attended by many distinguished people -a dinner party at Col. Orr's, the Sneaker of the House, nnd also at Lord Nnplor's, tho Hritish Minister a ball at tho National Hotel, which was a perfect crush, nnd at which was Cabinet Ministors, diploma tists, Senators and Representatives, gentlemen of the press, and cltlxens from all parts of the world, nlso a privato masquerado ball given at tho assembly rooms of our French citixons, which was a magnificent affair. One of tho roportors of our city papers goes rifTon it iu the following strain. After describing tho different pharactors, he says: Bucb a supper, tool .No niggardly din play, but a profusion of cxciulslte dishes, eelipiing any supptr table if thtieaton, for they were prepared by those entitled to the curittn bttu. Foaming champagne and ruddy burgundy flowed freely, too, (with out tbo old of wine-cards ;) and wbn I left nt three o'clock, the gay crowd seemed de termined to keep "On with the daace I let joy be unconfluedl No sleep till morn, when youth and pleasure meet, To chaso the glowing bours with flying feet." I havo just learnod that the democratic Senators held a caucus last night, and resolved to embrace the applications ol Kansas and Minnesota for admission into tho Union in one bill, and press its passage upon tho Senate at the earliest practicable moment.

Althouse appear, ed to havo undergone a similar scourge; one more direful, oven, tljau that whti-li, for u time, darkened the whole pin pect on Sucker. Though somo of the more gritty miners there havo ulready recovered from their malign spell, and ore pitching In right vigorously repair ing damages. The freshet did not damage the miners on either of these streams as much by far as was at first supposed, On Althouse, tbo amount of damage done far exceeds that done here. saw several companies, hav ing largo flumes and ditches, who have not yet completed their repairs, but they are ' hard at it.' On Account of this unavoidable draw back, there is but vert little mo ney being taken out on either of these streams; and, consequently, It has thrown a damper on onr ' circulating medium ' for the time beinjr. causing quite a panic. But when the miners ait get to work in their claims again, this stroke will not be felt the banks will resume payment meuey will be plenty, and 'things SKwn''t?o mersr as. a marriage bell . .The bjils fore ttjlj contipup paying? but there are so wy few TiUt clUm open that the amount taken -out' Would' not rtS he dislocated, portion four honest miners who .depend ' e the stream beds for their sweet peenniary.''
