THE ATTOBXET GENERALSHIP. The Committee described in iny last called on the President to-day, at J2 o'clock, and respectfully urged, the ap pointment of Senator Williams in the Cabinet. ' The Piesident replied that no one had a higher opinion ot Mr. Williams than himself: that he had a iull Cabi net, and he gave no intimation what be would do in case of a vacancy. OEEGON MAIL ItOUTES. Senator Corbett introduced to-day, a bill to establish the following mail routes : From Jacksonville, by Central Point, Bybce's Ferry, to McDaniePs Mills. From Ashland, by Browns, Link River, Lost River, Yianox, Drew's Valley, Hot Springs on Dr. Greeuman's farm in Goose Lake Valley, to "Lake City, California.

". ' rT , The other is'a solemn protest against the,jtreaty with .China and the' Oregon Legislature , requests the abrogation of the treaty and demands that the Oregon Legislature exercise the auth ority to Tegulate ,rthe emigration cf Chinamen to -Oregon, ' While reading this1 memorial wb were forcibly reminded of larn's coup let on seeing a louse on a lady's bon net: "Oh 1 wad some kindly power the giftie gi'e us To see Ourselves as others sec us." COMMISSIOXEE YdLSOX.- It is rumored that Joseph S. Wilson, Commissioner of the1 General Land Office, is to be removed. If al his acts are as inacurate as his last report he ought to be removed. For instance, he says: "the four principal navigable rivers are the Columbia. Willamette, Snake, nnd J'en F Oreille or Clark's Fork. There are others nayigablo for short distances, - ' Santiam entering into Snake River." The ital ics arc our own. Every school boy ,knows that no part of Pen d'Oreille is in1 Washington Territory, and Snake River only forms a part of- the Eastern boundary of Ore gon, and that the Santiam is a branch of' the Willamette, and is two or three hundred miles south of Snake River. If the Commissioner of the General Land Office, whose 'duty it 'is to have correct maps made, is allowed to pub lish such false trash as this about Ore gon we related, we may well expect ine masses in me jiuhuuc oiaies u oe ignorant of the geography of Oregon.

FULLEE-WAtKEE. 31. D, !Hcldme'dovmtnepafeernDon wnich hia is written is a bar ot bell-metnlj several inches-, long. .by- aniinclL itf breadth and thickness,, yeighing pound or more. It makes' a good paper-weight, and has a history 'worth repeating. Once it hung in a South ern Bteeple, where, in times, of neace.it gave forth mournful or merry -sounds for funerals or weddings, or called out witn a.religious tone (for poople to tob- fierve the Sabbath dav; as it cliimefl with the other church, bells of the vlf- lage. War came with all its horrors and necessities, and then thd chn-ch bells" were taken from their old cross beams in the steeples. 3nd sent to the foundry to be cast over into cannon and sbeatning for ramsJarid war vessels. This paper-weight of mine once helped to cover the sides of the.famouS Mfrri mad, which made such havoc with) the wooden-walls in Hanmton Roads. It sheathed the vessel near t'ne rudder, and has a hole through it where apolt passed to hold it in place. Afteri the war was over, tne sheathing of thiqram was, sold to a.,bell-fonnder in Trov to be re-cast into; church bells, destined. perhaps, to be set a ringing in the Sun-1 ny south again, or upon tho jbroad prairies of the far West. A friend res cued this bit ot the sheathingj from, the smelting furnace nresentimr it, to the, writer of this article. Holding, and looking at it, sounds of innumerable bells seem to reach onr ears, producing a sonorous clang or as they utter a Babel of voices from all parts of the earth. From the wooden bolls of the last, to the famous Bow Bells of London, and Trinity chimes of New York dty, we near a chorus ot iron tongues which calls up many pleasant and, mayhap, some quaint reflections. tlow attached we all becometo bells. and how intimately their tones are blended with tho psalm of life! With tho progress of civilization, and the consolidation ot society, bells play an important part in life. In some of our large cities and thickly settled towns they are constantly ringing. The church bell, has many pleasant memo ries clustering about it, as it always throbs "with the pnlse of the people, bringing joy or gladness in its tones. As Miss Kimball has suns; : "Oh 1 how long we've chimed together, In both fair and stormy weather, , Giving people kindly greetings, As they gather to the meetings. Oh ! how oft we've raised a sighing. For the dead and for the dying, Wille we've rung a gladsome voicing, For the bridal pair rejoicing. , TVehave chimed through generations, , Through the rise apd fall of nations ; Vfe have rung for triumphs glid'ning, Tolled for our disasters sad'ning." In the towng oi 'Hew England, the church bell totlsatun-set'for a death ; it rings at the hourof 'nine in tho eve ning for honest folks' to go to bed: it sounds the alarm when some farm-house catches firej it calls the people to church, and jieals at 'Christmas-time, a the birth of thenew,year, and upon Independence Day ! There havo been other dnd moro important times when the bells were sel to swinging with a tone which alarmed the people, or told of prreat sorrows, and great reioicincs. Many of ns living heard the bells tbll lor ilenry Ulay, lorlJamel Webster, for Abraham Lincoln. Some white- headod nien remember the joyfnl bells which rung when Lafayette made his last tonr through this country, and the author of this article heard the village bells of Vermont toll as the body of old John Brown was taken through the fcrreen jllountain otato on its way to the crave in the Adirondacks. After the rendition of Burns in Boston, the bells ot the ancient city of Worcester tolled for hours, while the troops as sembled under arms upon the common. If a fugitive slave came flying through the city, on his way to Canada, and the telegraph told the approach of his master, the bells in many a town in those davs rang out an alarm which emptied the houses and filled the streets When the first electric cable "had stretched its thin wire from Ireland to Newfoundland, and Victoria indulged in an nnder-the-water tete-a-tete with Buchanan, all the bells from Portland to San Francisco rang as if their sides wonld crack. The land was, brimming over with delight 'Sp, during the re bellionho w otten did the bells call the people to arms, after the news of a great defeat, perhaps in the dead of nigm, jiko mo ocu wnicn .raui severe set to ringing in Boston during Revo lutionary times'! Well do we remem' ber how'all thebells ot the great State of Ohid rang out a call to arms one morning' when the city of Cincinnati called for the "squirrel hunters" to as sist in driving back the jnyaders who were niarchine: oter the bills of Ken tucky-!''-'These special cases ofbell ringmg are simply called up from the past as reminiscences of days gone by, NO. 2. never to return, let ns hope. Those upon whose ' eart the pregnant torles leu, can never torget the strange sensa tions produced. I He who lives wjthin. the sotnd of a cuurcn ciock Decomes so auasnea to the striking 'of the Tiour. ,'that if the "Dony -nana ot tho sexton loigets to wind it up, a sadness steals over him, and hqrefusestqbe reconciled. tntiL tho wheels move again, and tho Sight ot time is marked by sounds nit to be mistaken. We believe thess silver toned bells'tepeated tales of lope and joy,to Tom,Moore, and that such were the ".Bells o$ Shandon," and the "Bells of Lynn," falling on the poet's ear at Nahant, The firsf '"rincr of bells cast for the British Empire rin North America" came fronv Gloucester, England, and were placed in .the tower of Christ Church. Salem Street. Boston, in 1744. For one hundred and twenty-six years these bells have "rung the old year out and. tho new year in,'"' aud their chimes are none the; Jess sweeter or melodious to-day on account of their age. The people within sound of these bells have become as attached to them as tho London cockney is supposed to be to 'Bow-Bells, and their removal would cause a great deal of regret. These bell's have the reputation of be ing very sober, and it is said nothing but sacred music was ever chimed up on them, save once, about a quarter of a century ago. Iho steeple in which they arc hung took fire, and threatened to burn down. Happily the flames were extinguished, but the excitement of the' people 'was intense, and they Would not go home until the bell-ringer had made them play "Oh, what can the matter be 1" a popular street song ot the day. ' Should the steeple take fire in this year of grace, doubtless the bells w.ould ring out "Shoo Fly, don't bodder me !" The first bell cast in Boston was in 1792, by Paul Revere, and weighed abqut two thousaud pounds. It-is es timated' that new there are annually cast in the United States about forty thousand bells ot all sizes. 'Ibis does not include sleigh-bells, dinner-bells, the jangling bells of the ragman, the tinkling bells of the street cars, sheep or cow-bells, the awful bell of the milk man, or the bells worn by clowns in the ring. The -number of these is past estimating. Whafwith church, school, college, car, steamboat, market, plan tation, fog and factory bells, we can easily see what becomes of the lorty thousand disposed of each year. The average weight of bells in this country is from one to five thousand pounds ; beyond' this size the depth of tone does not increase with the size cf the bell. The largest bell in America hung a year or; two ago in a irame-vr ork tower in the rear of the City Ball of New YfiTk. It weighed some eleven tons, but getting cracked, it was broken up, and cast over again into smaller bells. The "next largestrbell in this country, hangs in tho Cathedral toivcrat Mon treal. The bells in tho fire towers of New York average agoutfive thousand poundst each. The loudest -and sharp est toned one hangs in the pld histori cal stone tower of the Post Office at the corner of Liberty 'and Nassau Streets. There are no very, noted bells in the United States, if we excepCthe old In dependence bell of Philadelphia. Chimes have not yet bocomo so com mpn in this country as they are in Eng land, where they may b,e heard in al most every country town. They are on the increase, however, and the day will come wben good chimes will be common in all of, our largo towns. Perbaps the largest chime of bells in this country is in a Catholic Church -at Buffalo. Rochester has a good chime of bells, and so has Cornell University at Ithaca. Newark has several chimes, and a fine one has just been put up in a Church in Orange Valley in New Jersey. St. Michael's Church in Charleston, S. C, had an excellent chime of bells before tha war, but dur ing tho struggle they were taken down and sent to Columbia for safe keeping. 2rbaps a, portion of them have found eir way into our paper-weight. The most famous chime of bells in New York city hangs in Trinity steple, the largest ot whicn weighs only three thousand pounds. These, chimes al ways ring on New Year's night Wash ington's Birth-day, the Fourth of July, and at Christmas, The masterly man ner in which the bells are handled at tracts a crowd) and we have often seen qjd Trinity filled with purging thou sands at. midnight on thq thirty-first of December, listening to thejoyful tones pealing Xrom,th,e steeple, seated up on ine peaiment oi me .martyrs .monu ment, jn Trinity church-yard, it fills our heart with enthusiasm to listen to the patriotic; airs which float through the air on the morning of Independence Day, just as the sun comes up out, of Long Island Sound, and the cannon gd "boom, boom," from the forts in the harborl These are the best circum-i stances in the world under which to hear ''Columbia, -Gem of the Ocean," "The Star-Spangled Banner," or "Yan kee Doodle.' Aldine Presi. The Doors for the Capitol- The Springfield Republican describes the double doors' for the Capitol a Washington, which have been id the hands ot the Ames Company at Chico-; pee for the past three years, and -which' are now approaching completion. Early autumn, it is expected, will see them' in their destined 'place in Washington. The panels of the "peace" Bide, repres enting "peace," "the ovation to Wash-1 ington at Trenton," "the inauguration1 ot Washington," and the Masonio cer emony of layintr the corner stone ot the Capitol, September 18, 1793, sur mounted by an oak wreath and a star, and are arranged fdr insertion in the cast-iron frame that is to support them; and something near an adequate idea of their beauty and appropriateness aS a national commemoration, and ot the great skill and labor required to bring them from the rough bronze to then present high finish, may no w'be formed. The panels of the "war" side represent "war," "the charge at xorKtown," the rebuke pf Leo by Washington at Mon mouth," and "the death of Warren at Bunker Hill." The artist, Crawford, has been fortunate in having the high est skill-in tho country to carry out his designs to a restilt that will not 'snffe by comparison with the foreign works ot the kind. Each of the doors weighs 4,000 pounds, of which 1,800 belong to the iron frame work, and the remainder 2,200 pounds to the panels and the pol ished bronze back. Notwithstanding this immense weight the doors will swing with comparative ease, as has been demonstrated by actual trial; the' hinges are ponderous, but the point; of friction has been reduced to tho, fraction of an inch. . A colosal equestrian statue ot Wash ington, to stand thirty-two feet 'high, for the Boston public garden, and a nine-fpot statue of a soldier, for a mon umental purpose at Williams. College, tho third of the same subject, but after different models, are now in propess. of manufacture at the Ames Company's shop in Chicopee. The Statue oe Liscouy. The Stat-' ue of Lincoln from the hands of Miss Vmnie Ream, which has for so long stood in the rotnnda of the Capitol, enveloped in unsightly surroundings,, was on Saturday last, at 0 o'clock A. M., uncovered for the official inspection of the Secretary of the Interior. Sec retary Delano, Assistant Secretary1 of the Interior Otto, Senator Trumbully General Farnsworth, Representatives Poland, of Vermont, Marshall, of Illi nois, Dawes, of Massachusetts,- Law rence, of Ohio, Ingersoll, of Illinois, and a few personal friends and relatives of Miss Ream, were present to view'the work. With little delay after the com pany arrived, the workmen effected the removal of the covering, and presented the completed work, which has cost the fair designer and executor so many days' and months of arduous toil. Those assembled looked at the mold ed form of the lamented statesman for a moment, and then in unmeasured terms commended tho picture. Secrc tary Delano speaks in unqualified terms of commendation of the statue, and will to day if possible, present-to Congress his official acceptation of it. It-wilP then be publicly unvailed at some fu ture time, to bo designated by the proper authorities. The Baltimore and Ooio'Railk'oAd' in- Troudl'e Again-. Twb important cases have lately been argued in ttio Supreme Court of tho United States, both of which involve the right ot a cqunty to tax the property of a railroad passing through it. The title "of the first case is Baltimore and' Ohio Rail road vs. The County of Marshall, West Virginia, which, was certified to. the United States Supreme Court, upqn ja writ of en or from the Court of Appeals of West Virginia. The second are the same parties, but it latere up6ri a"ccr tificate of a division of opinion' between the United States circuit: and district judges of the State of WestiYirginia Both of these cases arise out of the re-' fusal of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail' road to pay a1 tax upo& the value ot its property in the county and Statd afore said. The railroad company have been beaten upon each trial of these pases in all the courts in which they have been' heard, and have taken all appeals' than have been grunted in cither case. Hoiiv S,tanton and Daniel Lamb appear for tho State of West Virginia. The RivEniNTHE Oceak-. There is a river in the ocean. In tho severest draught it never fails, and in the -mightiest floods it never overflows. Its banks and its bottom arc of cold water, whilo its current is warm. The Gulf of Mexico is'its fountain and its mouth is the Arctic seas. Its current is more rapid than the Mississippi or the Ama zon, and its value more than a thous and times greater. Its waters, as far -out as the Carolina coast, are of indigo blue. They are so distinctly marked? that the line of junction1 with the'eom mon sea water may be traced with the eye. Of ten one-half pf a vessel may be seen floating in the Gulf Stream waters while the other half is in the common water, so sharp ii the line and 'the . want of affinity between these waters and such, too, the reluctance,-so-to speak, on the part of those of tnc Gulf-i Strcam, to mingle with tho waters ofj the sex Tn addition to' thistopre is another peculiar fact: 'The1 'fishermen on the coast of Norway are all supplied. with wood from the tropics by means ot the Gulf Streanw Think of the Arc ticfishermenburnipgupontheirheaffhs the palms of Hayti,ith& mahogany cot' Honduras, and the precious woods 6f -x the Orinoco and the Amazon..
