SATIIItll.W EVKXIXB, lOEMER 20, 18(12. The News. The ilijpntch or Tuesday night foil like u clap or stunning thunder in our midst. Wo lintl confidently expected to hear of tin advance or n trcmendom effort to make one, but we nre in formed of a noiseless retreat, effected it is true with matchless skill. Mc Clellnn immortalized himself by his change of base in front of Iticlimnnd to Harrisons Landing, on James River j and Rurnside K'cma lo ho following in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessor. MeClolluii bun died hi troops with eonsumatc skill In ilmt memorable- reven days of fighting-re-treat. Burnsido recros.a-d a dangerous Mream, in the face of n probably victo rious foe, without the loss of u single man. We ure very apt to take counsel by our fears, nnd, knowing only the fact without itt causes or its object, imagine the worst. But if we were lettcr informed we might possibly Fee in nn apparent defeat the fu ture elements of success. Burnsido may bo merely " stooping to conquer." Hois kiiIi lo luivo telegraphed to tho War De partment Home days ago that he laid men enough. There id Mime consolation in knowing that one Virginia General is sat isfied with tho innnerieal strength of his nrmy. All that was designed to be ac complished by Durnsidc, may havo been accomplished by him. It is essential some times to hold a largo army at bay, in order that a blow delivered in tin other direction may bu efll'ctunl. Again, although Burn hide may have felt his nbilily lo drive tho enemy from their strongly intrenched posi tion urnuiid Fredericksburg, yet a duo re gard for tho lives of his brave men may havo induced him to chango his baxe of operations, so ns to compel the rebels to fig it him in n position more favorable to Ills success, and requiring a Jess sacrifice of human life. To carry a strongly forti fied position requires not only an ormy su perior in number nnd nerve, but, also, u fearful wasto of human life. "While wo may regard Burnsldo's oper ations ns equivalent to a defeat, tho rebel newspapers will severely censure Leo nnd fuckson for suffering him to cross n dan gerous river, swept by their cannon, with out firing n gun, or taking a single prison er. This is one of the remarkable feats of this unnatural war. Tho Richmond papers arc seized with a lively dread of the dangers that threat en tho fast collapsing Confederacy. May their fears become real, and their appre hensions prophetic. No news by Friday night's stage. "Woor.o Manukactouy. Tho people of Oregon City contemplate putting up a woolen manufactory there. This isu move in tho right direction, nnd wo wish it much success. The falls of tho Willamette uf ford ns good water power as can bo found in the world, and tho only wonder is that it has not been profitably Improved ere thi3. If tho stockholders of tho Salem Woolen manufactory can realize a proflitnble in come from their investment, nfter having created n water power at heavy expense, we cunnot seo why tho people of Oregon City cannot improve ono made ready to their hand, aud make tho investment pro fitable. .

Cki.kstiai.h Feloniously Rkplknismino TIIKIlt C'OMMISSAHY DkI'ARTMR.NT. Last night about 8 o'clock, three hungry sons of the Flowery Kingdom made a raid into tho flour warehouse of D. Linn, Ksq., of this plucc. They had feloniously nnd pre- meditatcdly succeeded in extracting there from sundry sacks of the stuff of the kitch en, when they were accidentally discov ered. The alarm was given, and u few cit izens repaired to tho spot, with scissors and lunterns, and other such weapons of oflenso nnd defenso ns were immediately nt hand. The result was tho capturo of one, the complete und triumphant rout of the other two, and the recovery of the purloined flour. Tho prisoner was brought to tho light, nnd tho heniousness of liis olfenso pointed out in glowing words by one of the bystanders, something after the following style, ns near as your reporter could get it: " You hog-eyed, dog-cnting, yellow-skinned son of a heathen, what do you mean by breaking into a man's house in this kind of n style ?" John, though somewhat excited, responded, very decidedly, "Mo nosubec; no sabee I" Whereupon, his attention was called to a copious distribution of flour, which, by somo means, had whitened his coat nnd pants. John, with nervous ener gy, brushed his clothes, as for a moment he eyed his captors, and then rciterntcd, with increnscd vehemence, " No sabee I" Tak ing their " cno " from the restraining influ enco of confiscation on similar occasions, tho crowd, ufier examining his manifest and comparing it with his cargo, discovered se curely stowed away behind his figure-head certain contraband of war, which was de clared by tho last act to be subject to con fiscation. During tho latter part of this performance, with hideous howls ho pro tested against tho unconstitutional usurpa tion of power and this confiscation uct in particular. Ho was then informally pa rolled in the mud. The last seen of John, he was following, nt a respectful distance, his retiring victors, evidently tho worse off in more wnys than ono front contact with the outside barbarians ; for while he had lost his own sacred Appendage, be had gained a knowledge of certain profane epi thets, which he thus hurled against his per secutors J " Me d n no good Melicun man ; d n, no good." On the same night, John Maker's shoe shop was entered by u window, and two pairs of boots nnd one dozen hats stolen tlierclrom. It is rupposed to bo tho work of Chinamen. Rki'oktimi. Tiik Minks. There ore n larger number of men in the different mining cnuips in Southern Oregon this winter, than there has been for many years past. An tinusu nlly largo quantity of paying dirt has been thrown up, nnd very extensive prepara tions made for vigorous operations ns soon as water sufficient shall bo obtained. Wo venture nothing by saying that half n mil lion of dollars will be taken from the mines of Southern Oregon, within tho next live months, if tho winter is n favorable one. So far, the winter ims been very un favorable for mining operations. But the righteous nro never forsaken ; nnd the honest miner no doubt is included in this cluss. Ainiivci). Samuel Colver, known to everybody in this valley, has returned homo from the northern gold fields. Ho visited our sanctum today. His description uf the ruffianism prevalent in the northern mines, is anything but complimentary to llio Slate of society there. Ho was beat en with a pistol and left for dead by " Eng lish," who wub subsequently hung by or der of Judge Lynch. Colver is satisfied with the north. The day on which ho returned, his fine horse, " Prince Albert," died. On the next day ono of his finest Morgan horses " kicked the bucket." All of this by way of welcome. Tin: Bi.ackwkm, Minks. Thero has been extensive prospecting in tho Black well hills this summer, nnd the extent of the known mining ground in that section has been very much enlarged thereby. There is pnying ground for five hundred men in these mines ns soon- ns abundant water comes. Muny of those having wa ter sufficient havo made good wages with rockers this summer. With plenty of wa ter, the Blnekwcll boys wotild be tantal izing us with their rich specimens, aud jingling purses. Poor Man's Ohkkk. There has been a good deal of thorough prospecting in the bed, on the bars, and in tho banks of this creek, during tho summer, nnd a large ex tent of paying ground lins been found. Quite a number of new cabins have gone up, ditches nnd tail-races cut, nnd every thing put in readiness to demonstrate, witli tho coming of water, that it is just tho placo for u poor mnn to make n raise.
