The IlEcoitg and the Union.
The Sacramento Univii claims to
monopolize all the journalistic respec
Qtbili'y and intelligence of California,
but it is sorely perplexed occasional
ly b the Sacramento Record. The
following ''good one"' will be ap
preciated. It is from the Record of
January 12th:
A number of our cotcmporai ives
are ftcr the Union in relation to a
little nnacronism contained in Us Sth
of January article, where it said:
" It was the news of this defeat that
brought tlie British Commissioners
at Ghent to the acceptance of the
terms proposed by our Commission
ers. It virtually ended the war."
Wheroasthe facts are that ike treaty
of peace was concluded and signed
fourteen dr.ys before the battle oc-
eurrt-jl, as perhaps every schoolboy
w no lias rem
history is aware.
Nevada Gazette, the ee the Exam
iner, and the Marysvil'e Appeal are
mimng those who are scolding the
Union for this blunder. Now, we
ilo not propose to undertake a de
tai-led defense of the Union against
thei)attacks, but will suggest in al
vance, knowing the dignity and self
importance of that paper, what we
consider ro be a characteristic reply
to their impertinence, which is, sim
ply, that it is a matter of no import
mce to the Union whether the battle
or the conclusion of the treaty oc
curred first, and that if it was not
jdt as the Union said it was, it
might as well have been to, for ail
practical purposed To our mind, it
is unbecoming in outside journals of
no respectability, to be finding fault
with a paper, which, by its own mo
tion, holds a monopoly of all the
journalistic respectability in the
State. We hope the above papers
w ill deem tl'is reply sufficient, and

AliRIVAI. OP THE KAXCEil I
Opening of tlieLow ii l olumliia-The
AjiiT to Arrive Stirling time- at
Cliinooli Hot Out at Astoria.
T!ie Portland papers of the 13th
brought the welcome news that the
ice was out of the Columbia from be
low the Willamette, where, since the
first of January, it has remaiued an
obstruction to navigation.
The Ranger Capt. Fisher, reached
Portland at half past eight o'clock on
Wednesday cveninjr, with the GVi
flamme's passengers from Astoria.
Iler arrival created a great sensation
in the metropolis.
The Occident is in the river, where
she has btrii (or 20 days. The Almy,
arrived on the lOili of January dis
charged at Astoria, left again on tlie
lSih, with lumber. The Brewcster
would sail from Rainier on the 12th.
Die 'Crosby is at Astoria, bound in.
The AJax Kft San Francisco on
Thursday morning, for Portland and
thus n'avination is resumed.
An Indian named Gebuck was
found dead in Astoria on the 4th.
fhe verdict was that he came to his
death by the pxees.-dve use of the
commonest kind ofrotgutwhisly. On
the 28th of January, at Chinook, a
man named Preble was killed 'by
another named McNamoe, who was
cilled by a man named Van Dawson,
Preble having previously shot a man
named Walsh. Walsh is still living.
tnd Yan Dawson is under arrest.
The muss was about a squaw, and
will be inquired into by the authors

We find it to be all the prospectus

The purpose of this work is to por

Land and the inhabitants of the pres

Nothing can be grander .'than the he

of Sacred History; nothing more
beautiful than the womanly faith and
duty it has recorded; nothing of sueh
impressive power as its stories of
sacrifice and patriotism. This work i
has to do with those whose deeds and ;
words, whose lessons of heroism and j

Belpassi. This is an enterprising
Pule place, situated in the midst of
a" extensive agricultural district on
French Prairie. It does not aspire to
commercial or manufacturing distinc
tion, yet it is gradually improving in
those elements which tend to develop
a thriving country village. It has a
most excellent school, which, during
the present winter is under the care
of Prof. Winton, an able and accom.
plished teacher, who has succeeded in
bringing the school up to a high state
of advancement, and most excellent
discipline. This school presents no
ciaiui to xvcauennc Honors, j ei as a
common district school it is a model
in its way. A Union Club was or
ganized Feb. 1st, at which time
speeches were made by several gen
tlemen, and a committee wasar noiut
ed to draft a Constitution and By
Laws. The Club will meet weekly,
and it is expected that the patriotic
ladies of Celpassi will contribute to
the interest of its meetings. The la
dies here, as elsewhere, are all for
tlie Union. A democratic lady at
Belpassi, would be a phenomenon.
The Effects of the Fre-;ze. It
is feared that winter wheat has been
seriously injured by the freeze, par
ticularly in those places where there
was not enough snow to protect it.
Feed is becoming scarce amonjr farm
ers, and it is feared that stock will
suffer in consequence. It will be a
good lesson for those who allowed
tons of straw to be wasted, which, if
j properly saved, would save their stock
in a " cold snap " A large amount
of fruit has been frozen, and potatoes
have suffered, from the want of prop
er care in putting up in the fall. It
is hoped that our people have learned
a lesson from the present winter,
which will not be unheeded hereafter;
if not, we may expect every few years
a repetition of the scenes of the pres
ent v inter.
The Echo. One week ago yester
day morning the Echo was snagged,
about ten miles below Salem. All
efforts to get her off were without
avail up to the last account we had
of her. She struck on one side,
swung around, and her stern lies i:i
about five feet of water, nose up,
with a twist in her ribs. About So
tons of freight was on board, of
which not more than three or four
were damaged.
P. S. The damaged steamer was
raised on Thursday evening, and yes
terday went into the dry dock at this
city for repairs.
Good Sleighing. A Iritnd at

to strike.
The Herald declares for Grant for
President.
The Times says Grant may have
been hasty, and may have given the
President to understand that .he
would aid in keeping Stanton out,
but no doubt he prepared hiin for his
final action.
The World says Grant is convict
ed of duplicity. He has pursued an
unmanly course.
The Sun says the net wherein the
President and four Secretaries sought
to ensnare Grant has been utterly de
stroyed. The Post says the President mere
ly plays the scold.
The Commercial thinks both the
President and Grant acted honestly
and regards the conflict as cne of the
miserable consequences of radicalism.

Oregon Cjtt, Feb., Sth, 1868.
Club met and was called to order
by the President W. W. Buck. W.
C. Johnson from Committee on Ree
o'uions and Platform reported the
following which ou motion were
adopted:
Resolved : That we join the acclaim of
the loyal masses of all the States, who de
clare Gen. Ulysses S. Grant their choice
for next President of the United States.
His bravery, his moderation, his honesty
and love of country, and his wisdom in
war and peace, commend him as the right
man to place in this the most exalted and
repsonsible station of the earth.
Resolved. That we favor the admission
of Senators and Representatives in Con
gress from the States where rebellion has
lately raged, as soon as loyal governments
are instituted by their people under the
laws of the United States.
Resoh-f-d. That the so called Democratic
party, is led and controlled by men who
sympathized with the rebellion; that it
opposed the war for the preservation of
the Union, and thus extended the war
and increased the debt of the United
States, and the taxes of the people. A
party that was unfaithful to the Govern
ment in time of war is not fit to control it
in time of peace.
Resolved, That all citizens of Clackamas
county who believe that Gen. Grant, and
the men in the party who saved the
Union, are better qualified to govern ami
control it than those who did all in their
power to embarrass the Government
when it was in deadly peril, are invited to
sign our roll, and become members of our
club.
It was moved and carried that all
young men over eighteen years be
invited to become members of this
club.
