The almost unrivaled ml- vantages which Lowell enjoys ate de rived from the Pawtncket FalU, in tho Merrimack river. A new canal was constructed in 1840, which runs on the northwest side of the river, and it is 10 feet deep and nbout ns wide as the old canal which was widened by tho Merrimack Company. Tho result was a great iucteaso in tho wntcr power; yiR I am informed by the treasuer of the Merrimack Company that they use steam power because they cannot get water power enough. From the num ber, magnitude, and variety of tho mauufactoring establishments of Low-1 ell, it has been very appropriately do nominated the "Manchester of Amcr ica." There are. 12 incorporated com panics in Lowell that owu CI mills, in eluding two print works, one bleach cry, four dye works and machine shop", I having a capitol oi 9l 11,060,000 ; running 10.1,000 spiiidlex; 12,100 looms; em ploying 0,013 females; -1,1)14 males, and produce per week '.',108,000 yards of cotton goods, 30,000 yards of wool en and 36.000 vards of carpets.

Lowell eouiaiussix cmcii 11 sive manufaclories ol sheeting and shirting; one extensive manufactory of broadcloth and doeskins; 0110 extensive manufactory of drillings; two exten sive paper mills; one of patent medi cines; two extensive manufactories of tlaunel goods; one wooleu-yarn fac tory; three extensive woolen mills; one catheter manufactory; one lock inauufactoringotablMiiueiit; one large tannery; 0110 large manufactory of sup plies; one small iron factory; seven machine shop; one belting factory; ouu extensive manufactory of print, ticks and sheeting; one small copper and brass foundry; 0110 soap factory; one planing mill; 0110 extensive manu factory of shuttles; one manufactory of looms; one manufactory ol harness; three sash and door factories; one but ton factory; 0110 file factory; one chair factory; one exteiiMVe manufactory of screws, nuts ami bolts, besides 11 largo number of cstahliidiincnts engaged in tho manufacture ot harness, carriages, clothing, ite. Lowell also contains seven banks and four savings institu tions, mid two insurance companies. It has forty-live primary, eight gram mer, and ono high school, all distin guished for the excellence of their sys tem and management; and their ex penditures for school purposes in 1800 was 602.042 6. Lowell also has twenty-two churches, which are regu larly attended by largo congregations. Tho city library contains 12,000 vol umes of standard reading matter; this library is accessible to any body who imvs a feo of lift v cents amiuallv. The 'Mechanics' Association havo a large list of members, and 11 library of 0,000 volumes. The wholo of tho prosperity of Low ell is attributable to hor manufactories, Thoy commenced in 1813; yet, in 1820 bho only had n population of 200, and as lato as 1828, she had but a popula tion of 3,032. In 1840, 20,700; in 1800, 33,385; in 1805, 37,553; in 1800. 30,827; in 1805, 31,004; in 1800,30, 870, and now the population is cstima. ed at 40,000. Wake up, Orcgonians, to your true interest and erect manufactories nil over tho country. No farmer in Ore gon has ever mado oft' of all his capitol clear from all expense, from 10 to 14 per cent, for ten, much less than fotty years.

The excitement throughout the country wna Intense, and their bodies were re turned to tho city, attended with clvio and military honors. A monument to tho memory of these llrst nun tyre to the great American rebellion, who fell on the anniversary of tho battle of Lexington, has been erected out of Quiucy Granite, in n public square in the centre of the city.

A. Forsvlh. and Col. ' "protntion which that body has given "to the Itccoiibtructiou measures." In speaking of his olllcinl acts in Louisia na ami Texas, he said, " every olllcial "order ol his had been cordially tip "proved by General (Jmnt, mid were " virtually the acts of General Grant; "that he only obeyed the orders of "Congress and General Grant." As to tho dangers and situation of the South, General Sheridan said: "II "the rebels get intujpowcr through "the policy of tho President, the re "hellion is made honorable, and Puion- "ism dishonorable; and ns so many " soldiers have been sacrificed hi the "suppies-ion ol the rebellion, I nut in " favor of depriving the rebels of their "political power, by giving tho col "ored rnioiiist the tight ol franchise." When General Sheridan iiniwd nt tho depot near this city, there was a dcuso crowd Malting to welcome him. It was 0110 continued jam liom the de pot to the Continental Hotel; mid nt this hour, 2 o'clock i ., there is u dense muss of people around him at the City Hall, all trying to do honor to the warrior who cleared tho valley of the Shenandoah ot the traitors who infested it from 1N0I to 1N05, audto show their gratitude to the hero of the Fivo Falks, and their contempt for the accidental wivtrli, Andy Johnson. Thtro wasi'lieeriiigaiid M'n.ingof flags and handkerchiefs from tho depot to the hotel, and in front of tho hotel un til a late hour at night. There was a torch light procession from tho depot to the hotel. A cannon near tho depot thundered forth tho customary saluto duo the tank of n Major General. Thero Mas a greater mass of people along the streets and avenues and at the hotel than I ever saw, except in the political canvnss of 1810, M'hich drovo Martin Van Ilmcii from power, and placed the hero General Harrison in tho White House. It was truly tho outpouring of greatlul loyal hearts to do honor to n great nnd good General, whoso official acts meet with a hearty approval of nil loyal citizens, Telegraphs havo of lato been extend ed in nil parts of tho civilized world with marvelous rapidity. Tho total length of tho telegraph lines of the world wns, according to n Gerinnn sta tistician, at tho beginning of tho past year, nbout 45,000 German (180,000 Knglish) miles, of which 11,325 were in tho United Stntes, 0,002 in Germany, 4,010 in Itussin, 3,008 in Franco, ami 3,481 in Great Hritian, and Ireland. Tho Government of Prussia, always in tent upon perfecting every department of civil administration, has just offici ally announced that it will extend tho telegraph to evory town with a popula tion of 1,600. How rr FKt to bs Scalped. A telegraph rcpalrcndong tho lino ot tho Paciflcrailroad, named William Tliotn p son, hns had a novel experience. Ho has been scalped by Indians, and yet lives to tell the talc. Ho lost his hair just before tho capture of tho train at Plum Crock Station, recently reported, and this is the story ho tells to tho wondering citizens of Omaha, whoro ho now is: "About 0 o'clock Thursday night, myself and fivo others left Plum Creek Station, nnd started up the track on n hand-car to hunt where tho break in the telegraph was. When wo camo to where tho break proved to be, wo saw n lot of tics piled upon the track, but at tlie same moment Indians jump ed from tjio grass nil around, nnd fired on us. Vfif fired two or three shots in return, and then, as the Indians pressed on us, wo ran nwny. An In dian on n pony singled mo out and gal loped up to me. After coming to with in ten feet of mo ho fired, the bullst cijtering my right nrm; seeing mo still run, ho clubbed his rillo nnd knocked mc down. He took out his knife, stab bed me in tho neck, nnd then making a twirl around his fingers with my hair, he commenced sawing and hacking away nt my scalp. Though the pain was awful, and I felt dlr..y ami sic);, I knew enough to keep quiet. After what seemed to be half an hourhegavo the last finishing cut to the scalp on my left temple, nnd as it still hung n little ' 1 ,u, Kl,vo 5l n jorki n,,,,,,,, jMrt tlcll tj1!Vl j C(llitj ji:m, CRr earned my life out.

The Indian then mounted and galloped 11 uay, but ns lie went lie drop ped my scnlp within a f!v feet of me, which I managed to get nml hide. The Indians were thick in thc vicinity, or I then might have made my escape. While lying down I could hear tho Indians moving around whispering to each other, ami then shortly after plac ing obstructions 011 tho track. Alter lying down an hour and a half,I heard the low rumbling of the train as it came tearing along uud I might haio been able to llag it oil' had I dared. fyrt)illlt lif HrHtlilieiiH. F.xi ni:.Mi:.vr i.v an Kximikss Oitici: DixrovKitv "i" a Pair oi S.vakiw. The Toronto (Uobe says : "For the last three months a box lay in the American F.xprcss Ollicu in this city until yesterday. Since tho Fourth ol July last this box remained 'until called lor.' For some timo past sttange noises had been heard In tho vicinity of the bo with the unknown contents, and the night watchman's slumbers had frequently been disturb ed. Yesterday the box emitted tv pe culiar odor, and a clerk was commis sioned to ascertain the cause. When opening the sccmely nailed top, out jumped two well grown rattlesnakes, one about five the other seven feet long. Tho slim ter reptile, nlthoiig lying in the box for tlncu mouths, was in n healthy condition and in full possession of its faculties, for its first impulse wan to raiho its venomous fangs at its deliv erers. The other exhibited serious in firmity, for one-half of the body was in u bad statu of decomposition. The as tonishinent of the oflleials at this un usual sight gave way to feeling of se curity, whei) the porter ol the estab lishment dispatched the larger but less animated icplilc by a well directed blow 011 the head. Tho other required more stringent measures, ami decapita tion wns resorted to before life became extinct. Tho snakes were booked from Great lieiid, ind., mid wcru evidently intended for some itinerant showman hi this locality." Aii.vksty ami I'Aiinn.v, The Oak land AreiM says thnt amnesty and par don aro two things as diU'ercnt as day and night, or Democracy and loyalty, Pardon Is a remission nf a sentence af ter trial and conviction before a legal tribunal; amnesty is nu indemnity granted beforo trial. Under tho Con stitution the President has the power to grant pardops and icprluvcs, but nothing more, Ho might ns well nt tempt to grant absolution ns amnesty, Tho ono would bo usurping the power of tho Church ; tho other of the peo ple. Andrew Johnson would unques tionably usurp both if ho could, iind might ussumo the ono power with as good graco ns tho other, A rati about twelvo years of ago shocked the pcoplo of Hudson, N.

This is considered "reason enough" for an other temporqneo organization, Thore nro now eight papers edited by negroes in tho United States. !
