The probability of the re-nomination ot President Lincoln seems to increase, according to accounts from Wash-, irgton. Indeed,, no suitable Union Republic can statesman, seeing willing- to stand in his way. Tui decision of the Supreme Court of Cali fornia, rejecting tbe soldiers' vote, promises a plentiful harvest of trouble. In some of tbe counties the local officers were elected by the soldiers' vote, and throwing, this vote out lets., the copperheads in. Tbe loyal citizens refuse to submit to the rule of traitors, and threaten to resist tbeir Induction Into office by force. Tbe- ense is again before the Supreme Court for a rehearing, and possibly a more satisfactory decision may yet be arrived ot. CnowuKD. Owing to tbe detention of the p river steamers, animmense number of per ecus are compelled' to remain at' tho-Dalles, who would otherwise be on tbelr way to tbe upper country. All the hotels are crowded to overflowing,., and in the event f another in flux of strangers, the hotels will be compelled to turn applicants away. Every description of sleeping accommodation has already been called into requisition, and. yet notwithstand ing Inereased'accommoiUtions. the botola are nrgutly obl'ged to turn scores and scores of persons away. Demand for Hands. A responsible party requests us to sny that there is a great demand for hands at Canyon City, and that good men can command from $5 to $0 per day for1 the season. We are assured tfctt a ve:y large number of men can command employment at tbtBe figures. Wo commend this fact to the attention ot the thousands who Are now mov in g.-to tUe upper country. From Canyon City, there-re easy access to Boise, Owybce, and in fact the richest mining districts in the North ern country, and hence there is no risk in go ing by way of Canyon City. Tua.tri. Tbe Theatre was crowded last night tw witness for tbe first time in this city, the great drama of "Rob Roy Mocgregor," the characters in which, were excellently render ed by Mrs. Hajm, Mrs. Tbaj er, Miss Gass, Mrs Waldron, Mr. Waldron, Mr. Mortimer, and tbe members of the company, all of whom were well up in their parts.

The Sacramento Sit has In formation, of the correctness of which there can be no doubt, that orders are on their way. from Washington, for tbe raisirrg.of-sis regi ments of infantry in California, for service upon the Pacific coast. As it is impossible at the present time to raise men enough by vol unteering to even fill up the ranks of tbe regi ments already raised, it is pretty evident that a draft will be resorted to lor the purpose of raiting the required number of meu six or teventhousand to answer tbe demand. Tbe new law of drafting abolishes classes, and takes indiscriminately, every American or nat uralized citizen between the pges of eighteen and forty-five. The cause of this requisition is sot stated,, but it may be the fact that tbe time of tbe largest portion of the volunteers expires during the present j ear.: Tbe rumor ed proposed attack of the sccesh-British-Chinese fleet upon San Francisco, or the near ap proach of the Freneh fleet to our frontiers, Also may have, prompted, thjs nreparatlch for cur defease. .--it Canyon Cltjr Prtrelnet Heating. In pursuance of a call, tbe citizens of Can yon City met in Primary Convention (rnV the 27th ult., and organ! Jed by , the electron of J. A. Kleiser a chairman, and A. 7 Power secretary.

The following preamble and resolutions, expres sive ofl the sense of the meeting were also adopted;; . , ....... v.. .., ,, , ,.;...,, WusRgAS, at- the present juncture- of our national existence, a most unholy and inex cusable insurrection disturbs tbe peace of our country, and1, threatens tba disintegration, of our confederation, and tbe overthrow of our government ; and whereas, war is at all, times to be greatly deprecated, and only to be pre ferred to tyranny on, the one, hand, and anar chy on the other) Therefore, be it. ' Retolwd, T.bat,. In. order to effect the son summation of a speedy and lasting peaca, se curing to ourselves and our posterity tbe in estimable blessing of a permanent republican government, it is tbe obligatory duty of every American citizen to render to his country, in this hour of her extremity, his entire and un qualified assistance and-support. licsoltud, That, while we regard it as-aa in. alit nable franchise of a free people to criticise the acts and policy of its rulers; yet the abuse ot this privilege, in a licentious and disloyal manner, for the purpose of distracting that confidence in them which is necessary to, en able them to steer tbe ship of State intottbe port of a triumphant peace, as practiced. by. copperheads throughout the. hind, deserves the pungent denunciation of all loyal men. Resolved, That tbe Federal Union, as estab lished by our torefuthcrs, is paramount in value to the institution of human slavery,, or any. other institution based upou the principle of oppression. Rttolved, That liberty and tbe Union shonld be maintained and defended even unto the sacrifice of life; and that our first and high est allegiance, under God, is due to tbe Gov ernment of. tbe United States of America. .' Rttolved, That we repose full, implicit, and unshaken confidence in tbe patriotism and no yravering integrity of tbe President of the United States, Abraham Linoolh; aad believ ing him to be tbe most suitable person, under the direction of Heaven, to lead our country through the present contest, we would rejoice in bis re-election. Jietohed,. Vaat tbe Army and Navy of the United States, for tbeir self sacrificing ardor and disinterested patriotism, evinced in tpslr endeavors to maintain and perpetuate tbe free institutions bequeathed to us by our forefath ers, deserve the richest encomiums of a grate tut nation. A. J. Uobiand, 1 J no. M. Davidson, l Com! Tbos. 11. Brints. J I Rapid Changes. la forty years Mexico has bad thirty-six different forms of Government, and seventy Presidents. It is not strange that country which is thus forever changing its form of government should fall an easy prey to tbe first bold robber who badlth'e courage to pluck the fruit. Many of ear own troubles are directly to be attributed to tbe frequent change of rulers. The interests of the people would be much better subserved if tbe Presi dent was elected for ten years instead of four. The war is fast bringing this fact borne to tbe people, tire first manifestation, of which is seen- in" tbe determination tore-elect Pres dent Lincoln. Just at this lime there is an ab solute necessity that President Lincoln be con tinued in office until tbe war is over, but tbe precedent will be applied in-other cases, and Boon the President's office will' cease, to be a mere foot-ball, thrown up for the amusement of those wh3 make politics a trade. If pos sible, tbe Constitution should be so amended as to elect tbe President for a term of ten years, but fa. ling in this, tbe people have it in their-power to continue the Chief Execu tive In office- twelve years. Let this practice once be adopted, and the country will be rid of that wild scramble for office which in a great measure led-to tbe present unhappy civ 11 Another Crowd.

All decline that, and depart borne satisfied that tbe President has made tneni tue best oner in his power. .. - . . .... j ,-, i Thanks. r'io vveiia, i-aigu Co , for very many express favors. - Thi Condemned Soldiib General Wright having refused to-interfere In the case of pri vate Ely, condemned to-death, for tbe crime of desertlcWr, there- fs every remn to believe that in accordance with the terras of hid sentence, e was yesterday shot. We have afrcrariy stttW ted that Col. Maury intervened to rave the uru fortunate man's life, but without avail. Ely, with tbe single exception of deserting his post,, bad bVen a faithful soldier, ar d was re garded as one of tbe best Men in His company. Previous to entering the service, Ely lived in Southern Oregon, and is said to have borne an excellent reputation. - His fault was one fbr which the regulations prescribe the penalty of deatfl) but looHlngto tbe impunity with which the law bad been-violated in numberless in stances, it seems" bard that he alone out' of thousands of deserters should be condemned to die. The practice that has grown up among.- civilized. nations-hnlf to shoot soldiers who desert in tbe face of an enemy. This has been tbe practice with our own Governmennt, and under, tt the proper punishment for Ely's crime would have been the- wearing of a ball and chain for tbe balance of (he term. of. bis en listment. General Wright, however, has seen"' fit to pursue a different-course, and it is not for civilians to question the acts of their mili tary superiors. . Detained The steamers Sprap, due at Ce- lilo on Friday afternoon, and the Tettino, due yesterday, bad not arrived at 7 o'clock last evening. Nothing is known with certainty as to the cause of this detention, but heavy winds on tbe upper river are supposed to have com pelled tbe steamers to tie up. Five dollars- and1 costs, was the peftaffy n covple of gentlemen paid yesterday for Indulg ing in the luxury of racing horsey era the" fine1 of Main street. ' A few more'exnmples of this kind will arrest the practice of turning our principal thoroughfare into a race course. NOTICE.
