Whllo nt Salem during our late visit
to Northorn Oregon, wo visited tho ex

by old Oreooulans. The amount of

one, and merits sucocss. The princi

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

Tho tnalu building is erected at Sa

looms, with u& nsssssssy nisoitlasry
for manufacturing one hundred thous

most protracted, angry, nnd fiorco
struggle, the House being in continu
ous session for more than sixteen hours,
and breaking up after a fracas in which
many members on both sides partici
pated, and which for a timo led many
to believe would end in blood being
shed,
i Tho vote on its roferrnce to tho com
Imlttee on Territories was 113 to 114,
the Speaker not voting, and on its ref-
'nreucoto the special committee 115 to
111, It is now understood that a bill
for tho admission of Kansas will be
, engrafted on tho bill already reported
lor the admission or Minnesota, and
that thoy will both be admitted by the
Senate, as States, together. 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,

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. UNO.

Suckeu Creek, Marcii 10, '59.
Mr. Ediior: Having just been on
a tramp over the mountain to Althous
Creek, and made a fevr observations
tbore, it may net bo ' out of order ' to
give the countersign and post tho Sen
tinel as to the condition of our camp,
and ' what ita signs ef premise are.'
Sucker Creek has lately been ewe lit
by that loathesome contagion, the
bluet 'having first been 'cleaned
out' by tho freshet. Althouse appear,
ed to havo undergone a similar scourge;
one more direful, oven, tljau that whti-li,
for u time, darkened the whole pin

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.

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.''
