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 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

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,

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

who has just returned from a business trip
through the counties of Polk and Yamhill,
reports the disease as prevailing among

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 4 'New Sleeping Beauty."'
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.

Tribute to Gen- Lfe.
A SrLEXDI ECLOOirM BT GEN. JOEN C.
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

Rich without Money. Many a man is
rich without money. Thousands of mert
with no'hing in their pockets, and thou
sands without even a pocket, are rich. A
man born with a good sound constitution
a good stomach,- a good heart and good
limb3, and a pretty good head-piece, is .
rich. Good bones are better lhan gold;
tough muscles than silver; and nerves that . c
flash fire and carry energy to ever func
tion, are fcetter than houses and land; It
is belter than a landed estate to have had
the right kind of a father aiid mother.
Good breeds and bad breed exist anions
men as really among herds and horses.
Education may do much lo check evil ten
dencies,-or to develop good ones; but it is
a great thing to inherit the light propor
tion of faculties to start with. The man
is rich who hs3 a good disposition wdid
is naturally kind, patient, cheerful, hopeful o
and who has a navor 01 wit and lun v. lw
compopitioni The hardest thing to get
along with in this life, is a man's cwn self.
A cross, selfish fellow, a desponding and
complaining follow a timid, care-burden-
ed man these are aM born deformed on
the inside. Their feet. nay not limp hut
their thoughts do.
Getting acquainted with a woman
through the personal advertisements in
newspapers, and then marrying her after
which she proved untrue, as a natural con
sequence, was What caused the murder of
Dr. Jones at Cleveland. The good old
way of getting acquainted and marrying:
for lore is the best after all.
We have often heard people speak of

Thirty thousand people attended the
