The following article, which wo find in this Portland daily papers, of the .'JOlh ult., we commend to general attention : At tlio request of feveral ladies nnd gen tlcmen, who have felt mid manifested 11 deep and active interest in tho welfare of sick and wounded soldiers, we respectfully sug gest to the people of thin State, mid Wash ington Territory, that collections be made in ail the congregations that meet for wor- Hliip on the day of National Thanksgiving, in aid'of the purposes of the Sanitary Commission-. We fully appreciate the gencr our liberality nlreudy shown, but it may be that some-ouo will thus have un nppor tuaity. to give, not heretofore nff-irded, while others who have already contributed wiU not be sorry on that day to repeat their generosity : for it must nit be for gotten that the terrible losses in the recent battles, tlioagh resulting in glorious vic tories,. have placed thousand of new suffer ers in ohargc of the Commission, and com pelled it to ask for further und munificent donations. Can we, if thankful for these victories, more appropriately prove our lively gratitude, than by remembering those whoso blood Imi helped to win such tri umphs' We trust that tho clergy, with accustomed philanthropy, will give to this suggestion their attention, uud wo ask that tho newspapers of Oregon and Wash injton" Territory will pleaso to publish Ibis article. r ' The Now VVugon Road. Messrs ,11. Bloom. J. Love, I. Constant, and others, liavo returned .from a trip to tho Deschutes river, over tho new wagon road. To them wo aro indebted for thu fol lowing facts : They report (hat a wide, well graded road has been opened up to Flouiieu Hock, distant Horn Juckt-onville thirty-six miles. There was but 210 rods of grading dill to bo done nt Flounce Hock, when tin; road would bu open to n f-trcum eight miles beyond. Mr. Monger, Superintendent, bus demon strati d his thorough nullity for constructing (he road, hit, It was thought, hud expended more labor in milking 11 level Mirlncu than the fin incus of tho company would allow. However, tho work has been done on the most heavy grades on the route Gut's De feat nnd Flounce Itouk nnd now the most heavily londtd wagons can travel over them with ciu nnd wifely. The Summit I'ufs is represented iih very open, nnd pre senting no obstacles but scattered dead tim ber to oblruct tho transit of w'igons. All along the lino of the proposed road the timber has been fired, and before this time is well burned out. From the Summit Pass to tho Defchutes river tho road will run over a high, open nnd level country, with no obstructions in thu way to Impede rap'd travel. These gentlemen extended their trip on as far as tho Defoliates river, within ciirht miles of the Eugene City road. Hav ing thoroughly tntl&fled themselves of the directness nnd great nnturnl advantages of thu route clear through to a junutlon with tho Eugene road, they started on their return, stopping occasionally to fire logs nnd brush 011 thu lino of the road. They were six days returning, but say that, with stwdy, eay traveling, I hey could have reached this placo from the Deschutes in four days, tho distance being certainly not more than 100 miles. The dlstanco from Jackronvillo to the Summit Pass is estimated to bo scTcnty-flvu miles. Of this, forty-four miles of by far the worst part of tho road are completed. It is not known definitely how soon thu road will bo completed. With proper ef forts on tho part of our citizens it can be finished insldo of four weeks. Funds enough havo not been subscribed, and nil those who have subscribed have not paid up. This should not bo tho case. The good work should not bo delayed a day for tho want of means. Messrs. Love, Bloom, Constant mid others, havo been untiring in their efforts fur thu completion of thu road, and their lauda ble exertions should receive generous en couragement. They have liberally dona ted time, labor nnd money for thu further ance of this oljcct. which Is to directly or indirectly benefit ove-y person in the Valley, und they should have thu means immedi ately placed at their command to put the road through in the shortest possible time. Those who havo subscribed labor to thu road inu.'t know that their labor can bu of no avail next winter, their cervices nro wanted vow or never. Our farmers, by united effort, have it in their power, to find a market for tho Mirplus crops of grain that havo been lying in their barns Tor thu past two or threo years, by the completion of this road, and wo cannot believe that they will allow tho work, when ho near comple ted, to bo for 11 timo abandoned. No! let us make 0110 mora effort, and in n few weeks' timo wo will have a good wagon road over the best and shortest route to John Day, Powder and Bolso Rivers 11 route that will Inevitably bo the great line of (ravel between Northern California, and Southern Oregon, uud tho mines in thoso regions. It Is said that tho road will run within twelvo miles of tho Hi to selected for Klam ath Post. If this provo true, and we do not doubt tho statement, tho military will prob ably assist tho enterprise. About 10 o'clock this morning many of our town people were alarmed nt tho sight of a two horse wagon and team coming In, to town, by the valley mad, at a furious, rate, a II itlu girl holding tho lines and do, lug her utmost to check their speed; but on they came, turning corners und runulug through thu narrow spaeo between the cor ner of Clusnao & Drum's Stable mid thu large sign-post in front, und (hence up Cal ifornia street, in which they were stopped by (wo gentlemen who inn mid gr.i-ptd the bridle reins. The bravo Utile lady wn then lifted from thu wagon, pale uud weak from her exertion mid thu realization of ihu dangers she had t-o Providentially escaped. It appears that, when within about u mile of Ihu town, the man In charge of the team had got down to nrrungu soinu por tion of the load, when tlio team suddenly started, mid tlio girl gathered the Hues mid managed to keep them In Ihu road; thus by her presence of mind saving herself, the team and thu toad from injury.

Governor, ou tho same ticket with Vullandtghum. (lint indicates u dcloriuiiiiition to tuku it. It is n Herculean, but llercuVau appli ances urc employed to accomplish it, uud of the result there is no reason to doubt. The unsuecesslul attempt of thu irnn-eluds against Fort Sumter on the 7th of April gave the us.uiliints n great deal of uselul knowledge. The results of thut enterprise, through n failure in the main point nt templ ed, increusu tlio confidence of nil thought ful observers of this new one that its issue is likely to lie luvornbio lor the ussnilnnts. Hie effort of the ironclads in April was to engage Sumter on the north-west Hide, which was known to be its weak face. To accomplish that, the during fleet essayed to run between the batteries of Morris "is land on llic south mul Sullivan Island on the north to risk Fort Wuguer uud Bat tery lieu ut (CumiiilngH Poinl) und Sum ter on the left, and Forts Dcuureguurd nnd Mnullrio on the right, uud plant themselves under the very nose of Fort Johnson, while 1 hey gave their whole attention to wicked Sumter. When they found by actual ob servation that nil the channels were ob structed with lines of spiles null hugh tor pedoes, nnil with submerged nets of ropes spread to eutuiiiilu their propellers, unship liieir ru.Mers, and il-dnin the fleet within cnxy rungc ol (lie heaviest guns, that plan was given up. Hut thu ironclads weie eager to test their impregnability. uud they would not retiie without a chance.

Ou ihu 10th day of July, under cover of our bat teries on Folly Maud, mid four monitors uhlch entered the main channel abreast of Morris Island.
