From the Oregonian I A correspondent at Salem writes that there are at present over thirty persons in Salem, and quite a number in the sur rounding country, afllicted by the ' pre vailing disease.' There is still a difference ot opinion, not only among common peo ple, but among physicians,as to the proper name of the disease. The very mild type of the disease, if it be small-pox. may be accounted Cor by the fact that two years ago when there was a real case of small pox everybody was alarmed, and the re sort to vaccination was very general hence, with all such it assumes The mild est form. There are, however, several small children who were not vaccinated who have now all the symptoms of the genuine small-pox. The University school has been dismissed on account of the prevalence of the disease, and will not meet again before the 1st of January. Due notice will be given in the papers' The editors of the Oregon Good Templar propose to commence in about four weeks the publication of the Grand Lxlye Organ. The Corvallis Gazette says that Stephen Spragne was brought before Judge liur nett and examined on the charge of horse stealing. He is quite a j ounj; man. and seems to have acquired that mei-k and lowly expression much in vogue among senptuual teachers. It appears that he hired the horse of Mr. Simmons, in De cember, 1809. for the purpose of goinir over into Linn. He did not return, and something over a month afterwards Mr. S:mmons heard of his horse at Salem, where he had been sold to a man by the name of Stewart. Sprague was bound over to appear at. Circuit Court, and in default oi hail, fixed at -SoftO. wars given into t lie custody of the Sheriff. Froiu tho Statesman : We called in a moment yesterday on the committee auditing the accounts.' and found ihein bmsily occupied. As they are hard at work aud making decided pro gress, we may hope for Iheir duties to cease within the L'd days talked of. We are informed b- Mr. Smith. Ihe deaf mute who will have charge of this Insti tute, that it will open this weeK. in a building below the woolen factory, owned by J. P. McClane. and its benefits will be offered to all deaf and dumb persons be tween eight and thirty j ears of age, who are free from offensive or contagious dis eases. Where parents are able to support their children a charge will be made of $100 to SloO.payable quarterly in advance No charge will be made in cases where parents are too poor to be able to afford this, except to furnish clothing or bedding. Mr. Smith says children will be cared for as well aa possible! He desires to know if those sent, to him have been vaccinated. The session will close on the last Wednes day in June. Letters on business should be addressed to Wm. S. Smith, Salem, Oregon. Whatever the disease is which prevails here, and at other places, it is notconfined to this side of the river, nor to towns, we hear of several cases at a farmer's house south of town, and Mr. Charles Calvert, who has just returned from a business trip through the counties of Polk and Yamhill, reports the disease as prevailing among three families near Sheridan, two families m'ar Amity, and in one family in Spring Valley, the persons are effected in the same form as here. Some of the phy sicians over there call it smallpox, and some are positive it is not, . --. A LiTTT,E.VKrf3 Of SrmiT. Unfortu nately for the good name of tho American Republic a class of men hold high official positions who are possessed with a spirit of meanness and contemptibleness. Upon the announcement of the death of General Lee, business bouses throughout the South were closed.flags were lowered at half mast, and a people in mourning was every where exhibited. But atSavanah.Georgia, the United States Collector refused to per mit the flair to remain over the Custom house at half-mast, even out of respect to the well known wishes of the citizens, and in his action was sustained by Secretary Boutwell. How pusillanimous was such a course, how little, mean, contemptible, cowardly, dastardly. Indians Naturalized. The New York Herald says: Fil'tv-one Indians have lately been nat uralized as citizens of the United States at St. Paul. Minn. It strikes us that this nat uralization of native Americans is super fluons ; but at all events the red men are coming to the ballot-box with the black men and the white men. Next we snail haveMie Mongolian?, "the.heathen Chinee" or, in 01 her words, the yellow nen. And why not? White, black, red and yellow men. let them come. But the women? Let the wonvn "tarry at Jericho till their beards be grown.'' ; Why? Why should we vote with the Radicals who have-- ruined the country and overturned our system ot republican government. ITT t ' v Jiy should we vote with a party that has put upon the shoul ders of the poor men ot the land the enormous burden of our nation al debt . Why should we vote with a party that has piled tax upon tax on poor men, and released the rich from the necessity of paying tribute. Why should we Vote with a party that lias taken from the farm er the producer of the land the right to dispose of his products. in the markets without a license ? Why should we vote with a part' that has proved itself only the rich man's friend, while it has bitterly oppressed and trampled upon the rights of the poor men of the country ? N liy should we vote fol" an or ganization that Is to-day trvino- to reuuee me prices ot labor, by im porting from tlic millions of China" hundreds of thousands of the worst classes of that people to take the places ot the hard work 1112: and even now the poorly paid laborer ot our own country? Whv, we ask, should we vote for a party that has done all this ? And not only this but more; for it has slain hundreds of thous ands, of our bravest divided the Union subjugated a portion of the fetates trampled" upon laws and constitutions inaugurated a reign of terror everywhere in the South, and high-handedly, outra geously malt rented the people. Why, then, we ask again, should the people vote for this party which, in all its acts, has proved itself a s IV fly of heli the most infamous, dastardly and unscrupu lous political organization that had ever cxistance ? We can't believe that the senses of the people have so entirely de serted them as to leave them open to the persuasions of Radicalism any longer. In view of all the trouble, strife, contention, poverty, misery and sorrow the doctrines of the Radical party have brought upon the country, we can't believe it possible the free thinking and discerning laborrng men of this country will give it either a moral or an active support this fall. Their own interests, of the country, of mankind, of the generations that are to come after us, demand that this hydra of Radicalism be crush ed. So may it be. West Virginia. The State of West Virginia, the State which was gotten on the or- uer 01 juo. 'jjiucoiu. me ruaie born under the Ceaserian operation the State carved out of Old Virginia, by the revolutionary process of the Radicals, has as serted its freedom by going Demo cratic Our majority in this State will reach about 12,000, we carry the legislature, thus securing a United States Sewator in place of Willey. This is a terrible blow on the Mongrels. They tore Virginia assunder in order to get a State which they thought, would be re liable, but now comes the election and spoils all their nice calcula tions. Such a re? nit was entirely tin looked for. Heretofore West Vir ginia under the ride of disfran chisement and terrorism, went Re publican, but so soon as the peo ple could throw off the yoke, they declared their fealty to Democ racy. Such a result must make the bones of Old Abe stir in his colli n. It was a pet scheme of the old ty rant to rend Virginia assunder, and and his heart gloated over the pros pect of thus making anew Repub lican State out of ft fragment.

The New York Times, Oct. 10, thus summarizes the story of the " Sleeping Beauty of the West:" This -Gttng person, it seems, never Wakes up; Her casej which has been thought important enough to be brought before the St. Louis Medical Society, is certainly re- mnrkttole. .According to Dr. J T. Edwards, of Union City, Ten nessce, she has puzzled eminent physicians and naturalists by this chronic coma for more than twenty years. Her name is Susan C God sey and during twenty-one of the twenty-nine years she has so far lived, she has never been awake over eight minutes at a time. Like the elsh girl, she takes very little 'nourishment, and that only twice a day. u hen she sleeps she does not appear to breathe, and fl, mir ror held against her nostrils re mains untarnished. ".Not the lightest down," we arc told, "sus pended against. her nose by a silk en thread, will quiver in the slight est degree." when her condition became known, wc arc told, phy sicians flocked from all parts of the country to see her. Rut none were able to satisfactorily account for the phenomenon, although, very naturally, many theories were ad vanced. Two physicians, Drs. Rhea and Glover, are it seems in constant attendance on the girl ; and although the former has vis ited her regularly for sixteen years, he can still form no opinion regard ing the cause of her distemper. It is properly noted as a remarkable feature in the case that, while Miss Godsey's hair has grown to a great length, her nails have not grown any since she was first stricken. There are other interesting char acteristics of tills singular young lady. Of course she is Very lovely, or she would not deserve her sou briquet, She is happy in the pos session of a mass of dark auburn hair, well-formed forehead, dark hazel eyes fringed with heavy lashes, well-shaped nose and a small mouth. Rut as a set oil' to these charms, her mental acquisitions arc inconsiderable. She retains what knowledge she possessed at eight years of agCj but has not been awake enough since to learn anything more. It is only justice to Miss Godsey to add that Dr. Edwards stated before the Medi cal Society that he had known her family for a number of years and knew that there was no deception or humbug in the matter. Under these circumstances the report to be rendered bv the Committee of Five appointed by the Society to j visit Miss Godsey, will be a docu ment of interest and importance. Somnolency such as this is alleged to be transcends all authentic pre cedents of which we have any nowledgc,and corroborative tes timony with regard to it will be received with eagerness by the general public, as well as by the medical profession.

KI'.ECKiiMUDOK. At a recent meeting in honor of Gen. Robert E. Lee at Louisville. Kentucky. Gen. John d.- Brt?cl?r'n ridge' delivered the following magnificent oration" upon the" life and character of the great hero : Mr. President; Jadles and Gentlemen: If from any Cause it has been supposed that 1 am to deliver a set address to-night, I can only say that I am not responsible for the origin of the supposition. I am here simply to mingle my grief with yours atlhe lossol an illustrious citizen. Indeed, I am more inclined to silence than speech ; lor my mina is preoccupied by bmsy memories which will call up in review the frequent and immense vicissitudes which have marked the last ten years. I find myself in the presence of a vast assem blage of the people of this great and beau tiful city, who meet together without dis tinction of party to express their respect tor the memory of the man who was- the leader of the Confederate armies in the late war between the states. Applause. This is in itself the omen of reunion. I am not surprised at such a spectacle presented here ; lor although at the close of the war it seemed to me at my distant standpoint that every element of anarchy was assem bled within the bosom of the Common wealth, yet, happily, so great were the pru dence, moderation and magnanimity of the people that all political and social re lations in Kentucky will compare favor ably ,vith those of other States. Not in Kentucky alone, but throughout the whole South; a universal and spontane ous cry of giiet has broken forth at the death of General Lee, and, to the honor of human justice and charity, in nearly every part of the North manly and noble tributes have been paid tc his memory. Let us try and learn a lesson liom these events. My words shall be brief but nhiin. Why is it that at the South we see these universal spontaneous demonstrations? First, Because most of the people mourn the loss of an honored leader and a friend, but beyond that, as it seems to me. they embody a pel haps unconscious protest against the ascription either to him or to them of treason or persoual dishonor a protest against the employment, by a por tion ot the public press, of epithets which have ceased to be used in private inter course. These demonstrations involve no vain and useless fepinings at the result of the creat strusrcle. but are the symbols of noble grief, which is an honor to any people, and when properly interpreted, ihey are an invitation to re-union and harmony upon the only principle on which we can be a free Confederacy a recog nition of the feelings, the equality and the rights of all. They are an invitation to the people, if there be any remaining ran cor in their bosoms, to bury it loiever in the grave of .Lee. I will not discuss or recall the past. It is lor thpen of the impartiaMiistorian to deleuiate the causes, progress and conse quence of the amazing contest. In regard to those who followed General Lee, sha ring aiike his glories and misfortunes, I have only this to say : In obedience to their firm convictions, and traditional teachings, they waged a war which the world saw and yet testifies of. Being overcome, they accepted the result of their defeat, and yielded a calm, yet proud sub mission. As tor the rest, tl.e conquerors themselves, for their own glory, must con less that they were brave. Applause.) Neither am I here to speak of the mili tary career or General Lee. , His feats of arms, in connection with those of his great adversaries, are known from the Arctic Circle to the cape; and from the Pillars of Herculese to the Indian Ocean. His sur viving comrades need not vaunt the acheivements of one whose renown as a soldier has made the circuit of the earth. It is of him as a man and a citizen that I desire to utter a few earnest 'voi ds, which are the less nt cessary after the thrilling and affectionate delineations to which most of you listened this morning. All men know that he was great, noble and self-poised, but by many he is supposed to have been tnougn just, apuawjeiic ana cold, vet 1 do not hesitate to declare thaW the warmlb ol his Heart anu me uepin 01 his affections were, to those who knew him well, among the most striking or his char acteristics, tor the last year 01 me war it was my toitune to be thrown much with him. and during the two months immedi ately preceding the fall of Richmond' our respective duties made our intercourse close and constant. It was uuder these trying circumstances that I came fully to knowand appreciate his- heart and chcr- acter; Jn those long painuu interviews he stood revealed to me a considerate, kind, geatle. firm Christian gentleman. I can not adequately express 10 you uie vast emotion that dwelt beneath bis calm evterior. I can convey no better idea of the impression he made upon mo than to say that he inspired me with an ardent love for his person anu a proiounu vener ation for his character. Oh! my .friends. it was so massive, noble and grand in Us proportions that the most heroic might be proud to bear it, yet so gentle and tender that a woman might claim and adopt it for her own. Renewed applause. If the spirit which animates the assembly before me tonight shall become general and extend oVer the whole country, then ineeed may w e say that the Wounds of the late war are truly healed. We ask only for him what we concede to the many qualities of others. Among the more eminent of the Federal generals who fell during the war, or have since died, may be mentioned Thomas and McPherson. WhatConfeder ate would refuse to raise his cap as their funeral trains passed by? Applanse.l Cr grudge to drop a flower nron their soldier craves ? And why ? Because they were men of courage and honor, true to their convictions ot right, and soldiers whose hands were unstained by cruelty or pillage. Great applause. Let us understand and truly interpret the causes of extraordinary honors offered by all ranks of society and all sbacds of opinion to the memory of Gen eral Lee. Why is this vast and mixed audience assembled to deplore his loss? Why do yon preside, sir. who neither shared all'liis convictions nor approved the methods by which he sought to main tain them ? 1 venture to answer that it is because his intellect was large and sound; because his heart was great and good ; be. WO. ! cause his piety was humble and sincere because he ever exhibited fortitude in ad versity and clemency in victory ; because he vra a stainless p-ent! after the last supreme effort was finished"! with implorable dignity and patience he taught his prostrate comrades how to suf fer and be strong ; and, finally, because, by the assemblage in himself of valori moderation, wisdom, truth,selPcontEol, and all (heir associate virtues, he was an honor to the age in which he lived, and presented a fit, model for the imitation of his own and all succeeding times. Applause". His future place in. history i nn( doubtful. For a time there will be those here and there who, enraged at beholding the calm and steady luster of his character, will assail it Widi malignant far jr. ; yet history will declare that the remainwhich repose to-night in the vault beneath the" little chaple in that lovely Virginia valley are not merely those of a matchless sol dier, but also of a great and good Ainerk lean. Hdw h$ President Kept His Promise r I The President is said to entertain n mv. dial respect for Secretary Cox. The feel ling can hardly be mutual. Air. Cox went into the Department of the Interior on the exm-ess ennilitinn ihnt he should not be trammeled bv the poli ticians, and that he should be allowed to run the department on strict business principles. He introduced reforms that rendered his department a model one in many respects. He soiirh: nut the mn?t capable men to assist him. thought fnorfi of personal ability and character than the cousins and brothers-in-law of Con gressmen, nnd gave every clerk to under stand that he must perform his duties faith fully, and that so long as he did so he would be secure in his position, and be protected from the assessments of the vari ous political committees, in effect he in troduced the competitive system, and Grant piouiised to protect him in it. This manly policy excited the bitter ani mosity of the Radical horde. Senators Chandler and Cameron went to Grant and procured an order or promise lor Cox's expulsion. The President of the United States sacrificed Lis personal friend ami official adriser nt the bidding of the most rapacious brace of rascals that ever plunged their arms into to the peoples' crirr. The only fault of Cox was that he believed the President's word. This is not the first time that Grant has broken his promise. All men know what be Was proved to be on the testimony of Secretary Seward and President Johnson's entire Cabinet, in the matter of Stanton's removal from the War Department. Day Book. Usefci.
