o ITS CORRESPONDENCE. Scene lulhe Country. E . F.XTKKPRI3E. Thinking that a sketch of winter life in the country may not prove uninteresting to your readers. I propose with your permission to give a few pen pictures, which will convey the impressions of one whose principal object in writing is to be guile the monotony of life in the rural dis CSdistricis. Having given you fair earning that I nin actuated by no higher motive than stttuiQment, I trust you not look for the jecital of a marvelous story. Variety is said to be the spice of life, nnd if this be true it may afford some con holati m to those who are disposed to re pir at the dispensation of Providence wblh vouchsafed us a few weeks of cold veatlRT, in place of the interminable patter of the rain." Tis a newTeature of the Oregon climate, and tends to corrobo rate the old Indian tradition that "the O The small amount of snow wl.ich fell in January rendered sleighing possible, and the old weather rendered skating excel-1 lent. , No sooner was the ground whitened v.'&i snow; than the spirit of Young Amer- j.-a le.ipt forth : and accordingly sleighs, j jumper, sleds and other nondescript ar ticles, which can r.otbe named much less iliM.'s-ibed sprang into existence, as if by ir.:tg!e. and were made to contribute to the Livitlute appetite for something new. Horses were gaily caparisoned with flags uul streamers, and .some, more enterpris ing t'nn others, bethought them, of the " jing of the b.$5 : " accordingly bells i' every description. cow bells, horse Lc'.ls. sh"ep bells, horse lhlJIes and tin pans v. ere brought into requisition.

In the much vaunted Lgn ting regions of the Cascade mountains, w here is neither to be seen the house of tho white man. nor the hut of the Indian, :Md where the deer, the bear, the elk. and ! . i l ......... -i. i -i- . 1 th panther, are supposed to abound in all their native freedom and .simplicity, these ninirods looked for a more noble pastime than the simple amusements of the valley. Providing themsel ves.with neither script lor h eir journey, nor gloves for their hands, and only a small amount of ': grub"-' for the benefit of the inner man. they set fiit on their perilous adventure, expecting to commit sad havoc among the innumer- j ble herds that people these vast st?i!rrdVs, j natp,nili jbt of over 300,000.00!) dollars when ibey would return loaded with the j vrA ihc sr.c,ifice 100,000 lives, institute ipoils of! ho chase, to spend the remainder j the comparison with this high toned par ol" the winter inmnching choice tit bits, j ty Tht, Union party educated the public and relating anecdotes of their peiiW and j pind and conscience to that noble nd ventures in the mountains. standard of justice and equal rights Arriving at tuo lianiiiitr trronnda late in . lae alternoon, tnev availed themselves ol -X . . . ! t.h-ui mniun !ooi, wuicu nau of etcrnal justice embodied in the lH-c-l.cen erected by some huaters who Y.aa j iartltjoni which declared that all men reen there oe.ure them, and alter partak- ing of a hasty meal, they retired to dream of the exploits and conquests of the co-ia-ing morrow.

' b? j 'Ticcated 6"ygesttoa is, to Lin: e O ItE'OXSTiaCTICX. Editor Enterprise. The Democratic party having encourag ed traitors and stimulated civil war, hav ing exhausted every method in its power to perplex the Government, to d'sbear'ej the people, proclaimed most exultingly, that the war was a failure the and dismem berment of the Union inevitable. The American people highly incensed and in dignant at the insulting boast, rallied and defeated the enemy by superhuman efforts both in the field and at the ballot box. But in the moment of their victory, w hen all prophesied the death of such an infa mous and piekening foe, stunned at its own defeat, and prostrated by its own fratri cidal efforts to establish slavery for all time to come, an unforeseen event occurred which arrested the disease prying at its vitals. I speak of the death of our Ex ecutive Officer by the hand of the assas iiw, thus placing ii power a fostering hand which stayed the decline. The reeling and struggling carcass began to rally and to organize upon its old basis asking the people with much sympathy, to forget the past fratricidal struggle and rally around the old watch word Democracy declaring that in its past history is to be found the proudest records of our coun j try and that in the future, as in the past, it will with patriotism, fidelity, wisdom and honor, grapple with the great questions of our Republican institutions in such a way as will lead us on to greatness and glory. But let us ask w hat has been their patriot ism ? Bike that of Benedict Arnold. What their fidelity? O Judas! They fell head long and their bowels gushed out. "What their wisdom? Echo alone answers. What their wisdom! What their honor? What of Floyd. Breckenridge, and a host who had sworn allegiance to their coun try. "With what meekness those who have systematically betrayed the Government come and crave nay demand a place in its legislative halls showing conclusively that the auti American spirit which has these many years been the soul of the Democratic party, still survives and seeks to regain its power, by temporarily de serting its rebellious attitude. They are nevertheless the rebellious party and the irresistible tendency of human nature will as surely cross out when they sec them selves reinstated as the needle will, when nowed. noint to the noles. All the devo- teesof rebellion are with that party. That profound faith in the moral righteousness and political wisdom, which should char acterize any party and which should be ihf main spring of all their acts will in all probability never be found in the Dem ocratic party of to-day. The Democratic party i3 responsible for many great issues, among which are the repeal of the Missouri Compromise the fatal effects of which j Ert.aliy bewail, the efforts of slavery ' ' J to perpetrate itself, the Dred Scott decision, the doctrine of State Sovereignty. A doctrine which "Washington, Marshall and many others eonsidned as perilous to the perpetuity of our institutions as the t lie stauchist loyal men of the present time. Alas: Calhoun, and not "Washington, was their modern political prophet and the armed insurrection of slavery against the best Government in the world causing a ...i.:,.!, ,n,t..,t ..mnMn-iiinn nnd (s- t:ili;shed the Union firmly on that rock - arc c..eatod flt!e and equal and endowed by their creator with inalienable rights, among which arc life, liberty and the pur suit of happiness. The Democratic party delights to call itself conservative, and that it alone can save tho country from destruction. Does any one MIppose that the American United states would stand as nobly eminent in eyes of the world, or that Republican Government would have that respect at this moment, at home or abroad if the Democracy had remained in power? Does any one think that resistance to the spirit of constitutional liberty is at an end in this country? Who believes that it will not rally again under its old name the mo ment Democracy is reinstated in power? Its face is turned, but its heart is not changed. She is stiii sailing for the same and maintains the doctrine that the Gov ernment of the United States has no right to enforce its authority against any citizen, if the State in vhich he lives releases him from his allegiance. The Union party wants no reconstruction on such principles. Every loyal citizen of the United States has rights in South Carolina guaranteed to him by the Constitution of the United States, therefore we wish. and that sincerely, a true and solid reorganization. UNION. Ei.itor FxTF.nritisE. Reform in Education is like reform-fa-other subjects. The public ear must be cor.qured into attention to the existing errors : prejudices must be refuted : adver saries must be worn down by the Fabcan policy of indefatigable patience and grad ual success. Nor.can this be otherwise. The common eye dwells only on the final act, the consummating law, the executive mandate. Rut statutes and ordinances, to the most practised enquirer are mere rati fications of what has- already been long decreed in the public mind. In the pub lic mind is the !rue national congress the real senate, where, after long debeate. sometimes iu the papers private societies, i i.r nnblie meetings thV great truth, Ue it i , 4 -1 I and roay not Ue .lrt'R, j risk of being-tedious ley ant though at the to trace this thougit- i throurh its various stages towards coin- conviction, a matter of debate or chal lenge, but cf faith watching on time only for its final success , and so to time look ing forward, bearing the present, confid ing in the future. Early and late he tries to infuse this faith into others, and preaches and trorks, and perhaps wearies S3 I do iiow but at all events makes men hear and see until the Crotchet has become at last a recognized bobby a privileged theme. Folly it may seem, but still admitted at certain season, and as a matter of course. It is an annoyance, a bore, and eternal repletion of the same subject. Well, but this is a proof that it is not unknown it is not unfelt, that it is not to be passed over, that it is not to be got rido f that it will be heard. And men now having it, and hearing it often, arrive at that happy stage in which apathy gives way to opposition, begets enquiry, en quiry produces thought, and the public mind arranging itself on the one side or the other the hobby immagination of one becomes the concern of the many and then an important " question." And who amongst us can be ignorant, that in such a country as this, no important question can long remain merely such. The elec tricity of the press; of the meeting; of the free communion which exists on every side and penetrates into all things, soon brings to judgment every such contro versy. The important question is extin guished, or becomes in due season a great measure' But what is the moral of all this? What lesson does it teach? What conduct does it urge upon us? Simply this,- that no man, no body of men, is worthy of the ciid, who will not go through the ordeal of the means. That no man has a right to the glory of the jncas ure, who is not ready to embrace and en dure the discouragement and humiliation of the " Crotchet. ' In this no more than in other fields are virtues to be won by wishing for thc-m. " Aon sine pulsu pahna," is the condition of all struggles for moral, asfor every oilier excellence and glory. Let but the few originatory be sure that they are ri'jld, that is the first thing ; and persevere that is the second, and ere long they will find that public opinion thundering through the length and breath of this great country, will, as on many former occasious prove omnipo tent.

The pleasures of leap year are thus noticed by a Jacksonville paper: "We had the pleasure one day this week, ere the twilight shades had fallen, of observing two young ladies, handsomely ap parreled, doing the gallant, by escorting two handsome ditto, handsomely ditto, to the meeting place ot the glee club. Oh, these Leap Year privileges 1 Those pleasure are only excelled by a call at Kohn A. Fishel's, No. til. Front street, Portland, Oregon. Where all that is requisite to the handsome apparel referred to, for either sex, may be seen, and appreciated, when prices are given at which the gentlemanly proprietors dis pose of them. The Nomination. There are to be selected, by the Conventions meeting at Portland next month,, by each party respect ively eiScers as fallows : One Congressman ; a. Judge of this the fourth Judicial District; ami a Prosecuting Attorney . Six delegates to the National Convention ; and three can didates for electors of President and Vice President, to be supponed at the next No vember election. These gentlemen may possibly not a.'l be elected. Indeed but half of those required by the laws of the land will be, but that need not make any di Iter ance with Barman Bros., they will keep on in the even tenor of their way, and sell to all, irrespective of party, the best goods in the market, at the lowest prices.

Charles Farmer, Drnggis, writes from Ovid, Mich: "I have just sold the last bottle of -Allen's Lung Balsam, It sells-Ii-k. 'hot cakes,' and gives universal satisfaction. Stanley A, Skipper, Chippewa Falls, Wis., write: " We wish you would setvd a good supply of Allen's Bung Balsam, as- it! is get ting to be one of the necessary institutions of the country. 1 1 sells well, and gives eii' tire satisfaction to those using it." F. L. Allen, a well-known druggit, af New London, Conn., writes us that Alien's Lung Balsam is favorably recired by the afflicted. F-e says, " I have retailed nea?ly Snur el'oxen boMles over my counter, and it haa-jri-veiv good satisfaction." Many letters like the above are daily re ceived front ail parts of the country.

Perry Davis & Son's "Pain Killer," may most justly be styled the great medi cine of the world, for there is no region of the globe into which it has not found its way, and none where it has not long been largely used and highly prized. Moreover, there is no clime to which it has not proved be well adapted for the cure oft. consid-tprabl?-vaTie,v ufdiseases; it is a speedy and sale remedy for.biiro?-, scalds, cuts, bruises, wounds and various ether injuries, as well as for dysentery, (bnriboea, and bowel com jdaints generally, it is-admirably suited for every race of men on the face of the globe. It is very significant fact, that notwith standing the l-'iig period of years that the " Pain Killer-' has been before the world; it has never lost one whit of its popularity or shown the ler.sl sign of becoming" i;u popular; but, on the contrary, the call for it' Las steadily increased from its first discove ry by that excellent and honored man. Perry Davis, and at no previous time lias the demand for it been so great, or the quantity made been so largp, as it is this day. Another significant fact is, that nowhere hrrs-thc Pain KUier ever been m higher re pute, or been more generally use by families and individuals, than it bas been here at home where it was lirst iis?overed and in troduced, and where its proprietors? Messrs. -Perry Davis A Son, hav-e ever b?eu hold- in high" esteem: That the Pain Kilbir will con tinue to be, what we have styled- it,, the (jrrat medicine of the rroril. there cannot be the shadow of a doubt.
