Articles have appeared from tuneJo time id the Republican, showing the different manufactures which might be engaged in by the capitalists of Oregon, 'with profit to themselves, and material Advantage to the surrounding country. Especially should the people of bur own town look to this matter, and see if fiometaiog could not he d( me to extend our manufactories! To show the ad vantages of manufactures to a town, we clip the following from tha Belleville, 111., People: .. . . . .., u In 1857 Aurora had a population of less than 5,00; the Chicago, Bur lingtbn and . Qumcy machiue works were located there at a cost of $200,000 to the citizens, and the population 18-1 ZU.UUU. Ualesburg had machine shops located thereat the same time, and the ratio of increase of population is about the Same as that of Auroral The ma chine shops of the Chicago, Alton and St. j Louis Railroad weH put up in BIoomingtoD in 1859, since which time they have doubled in population. The Illinois Central put shops in Campaign in 1858, siuee which time the increase of her population has been 5,000. The machine shops of the Columbus,' Cin cinnati and Indianapolis Railroad were built at Logansport, Intl.,' by Mr. Young, in 1866, at a cost to the citi zens of 8200,000, has since increased 6,000. Mr. Young also put up the Fort-Way no, Ind., worksh bps in 1850, fit a cost of $200,000 to the citizens, and the increase of population has been Some say we cannot expeet to have railroad connection here jj we are off to one side of the line of railroad commu oication, aud must rely for the support of a town, if we sustain one here, upon something other than railroad machine chops and car works. This is coming to conclusions before we have weighed our chances ia the contest. What nan has done, man can do, is an adage that should not be forgotten in connection with this matter. By looking over rail road maps of the Eastern Stares, we cau find places where energetic men have worked against the u natural cur rents" of trade, sod have built up a trade$ in places where there .were ap parently no natural advantages, have drawn railroads from their direct line to their own eireuit, and have built up & thriving business where but little ex isted before. Id order to -accomplish this, energy, tact; and a free use of money are absolutely necessary. When an opportunity offers to secure the manufacture of any article . which the people need, it should be secured ; and when railroads "are1 being bnilt, secure their passage through the town, al though it may cost a few hundreds, or oven thousands of dollars. A little money invested in that way at the proper time, will be a source of immense profit in the future. We have a beau tiful location, a healthy climate and rich surrounding country to back us in building tip a town. All that is neces sary is to be up and doing, and not sleep on our rights and advantages nntil we lose them. . i EDUCATIONAL,, Faeedmen, Refu gees, dec From the Be port of the Commissioner of the' above-named Bureau, we learn that the number of commissioned offi- cers have been reduced the past year from I5& to 87. The eleemosynary work is now confined principally to the Pistript of Columbia the hospital at Bichmond, Va., having been turned over to the State authorities on the 1st of February, 1870, leaving only the Washington Hospital and Asylum un der the care of the Bureau. In this, and connected with it, not less than 1,500 freedmen have received medical treatment during the year, and there remained June 30th, 1870, 438 depen dents, supported wholly by the bounty of the Government, viz. : 257 patients in the hospital, 88 orphans, and 93 old men and women. Of this number 18 are blind, one is blind and idiotic, one blind and r insane, 3 are deaf and dumb, 13 are maimed and are insane, 22 are idiotic, and 200 are helpless from extreme old age, four being over a hundred years of age. A large amount of the force employed by the Bureau have been engaged in the col lection and payment of bounties and other monies due the colored soldiers, Bailyrs and marines Great care is re- quirpd in the collection aud, settlement of these claims, to protect the Govern ment from F fraud. ; The? number of claims settled during the past year by the Bureau Were 1,087.; The number now pendiog settlement in the' different Executive departments, and awaiting completion of evidence is 3,108. The amount of bounty money, jack pay and pensions collected by this department is $130,900 65. , The number of high, or normal schools is 74, with an attendance of 8,147. The number of industrial schools is 61, with an attendance of 1,650 pupils, these having been so con ducted that most of the teachers at present are colored persons who have been . educated at these institutions. The expenditure for educational pur poses during the past year have been $976,853 89. This includes $25,000 tranferred to Wilberforce University, Ohio, and $12,000 to Lincoln Univer sity, -Pennsylvania, by; Act ot Con gress. The expenditure; of the Bureau for all . purposes during! the last year have been $1,579,129 55. CHRISTIAN MESSENGER The Christian Messenger asks the Oregon Republican the question: " Does the Bible say that Christ is God in any sense V We are surprised that the editor should ask us this question, after having been informed that we were skilled in the tricks of the law, and. having himself charged us with being fogged in the mists of Theology. We are no theologian, but have gleaned a few ideas of matters contained in the Bible, from the practice of the law, and listening to theological teachers. And, in answer to the proposed query, we dash off a few extracts -from memory : Commencing in the ,01d Testament, which we presume the editor will admit to be reliable authority, we will refer first to the prophet Isaiah, 25th, 9th : 41 And it shall be said in that day, lo, this is our God ; we have waited for him, we will be glad, and rejoice in his salvation;" 40th chap, of the same book, from the 8th to the 12th inclu sive, the editor can refer to at - his leisure, as it is too long to quote. The 40th chap., latter part of the 14th verse and 15th verse inclusive : " Surely God is in thee ; and there is none else, there is no God. Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself. Oh God of Israel, the Savior.' Isaiah, 43rd, 11th, " I, even Iam the Lord j and beside me there is no Savior" 14th : "Thus saith the Lord your Redeemer, the holy one of Israel " 44th, 26th ; " And I will feed them who oppress thee, with their own flesh ; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine ; and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the mighty one of Jacob." llosea, 13th, 4th : " Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no God but me ; for there is no Savior beside me." In the New Testament we refer to Colossians 11th, 89th : " Beware lest any man spoil you, through philosophy and vain de ceit, after the tradition of men, after the .., rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the God -head bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power." Rev. 15th, 4th : " Who shall not fear thee, Oh Lordj.and glorify thy name ? for thou only ari holy fr For all nations Shall come and worship before thee, for thy judgments are made manifest.' ; These are a few out of the many pas sages which might be adduced of the same nature j but we will stop at this for the present by asking the editor, hast thou been a teacher in Israel, lo, these many years, and understande.t not the mystery of Godliness j God manifest in the flesh ? That the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are one, the same as the body, soul and spirit are one in the natural man ? a thing made so plain thaf a wayfaring man need not err therein. If we are right in these things,' the1 Messenger will so say. If not, wo wish it to show us wherein we cr. . Scribnet MonlfUcj for January came to hand. It is one of the first maga zines in the country, is well filled with articles from the pens of the , best writers in America, and is well illuso trated with fine engravings. TUG WAY TO DO IT. The Democratic journals of Oregon have been copying the subjoined article from the New York Herald of the 27th ult., to try to prove the certain defeat of the Republican party in 1872; , "The Republican Senators and members who have remained here after the recess have had ample time to dis cuss the prospects of the riarty for the next Presidential elcetion in connection with recent events. There is no dis guising the fact that the majority of them are despondent, and especially the experienced politicians who are in the habit of looking ahead. They concede that the South, with the exception per haps of South Carolina, is hopelessly Democratic, and that whoever may be the Democratic candidate in 1872 will get the full Southern vote, with the above exception. To overcome this, it will be necessary for the Republicans to carry all the great States of the North, including Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. The first and the last are doubtful, and the leaders of the Repub lican party are of the opinion that even with Grant as a candidate, nothing can save them but the blunders of the Democracy. Should the Democrats put forward candidates with a good re cord and a decent platform, there seems to be little doubt of their success. The Republicans, however, seem confident that the Democrats will repeat the folly of 1808, and thus enable them to retain power." The conclusions here are prematurely reached. The ground is assumed that all the Southern States, South Carolina excepted, will be sure to go Democratic. This is not absolutely certain. If the Republican party cease running after theories, and come down to plain mat ter of fact and common sense, and legislate for the good of the whole country, it will be easy enough for them to carry the next Presidential election. But if they continue to pass their time in quarrelling over matters which re quire prompt action, they deserve to be beaten, and they surely will be. Treatment ot Colic lu Homes. The treatment ot horses in this dia ease is not always such as will lead to a cure, and there is no disorder of the horse that more frequently leads to loss of the animal than an attack of colie. Dr. J. A. Hopkios, of the Turf, Field and Farm, refers to some simple re me dies, which may be used by any with effect, in sudden attacks of this disease. He says : " There are, of course, various forms of colic, and a protracted attack will often produce complication which re quire skill and treatment, and the pre sence of a veterinary surgeon. Hie remedies here offered are for the uiot frequent and easily distinguished cases of flatulent colic. One simple remedy frequently very tflVctua! is, two ounces or four table spoonfuls of salaratus in a pint of strong ginger tea; another, a pint of warm salt water, with an enema of the same; the injections will often bring away large volumes of windj another, one ounce of carnphoreted spirits in a pint of sweetened water. These may be ob tained in town or country at almost every houc, wheu other prescriptions requiring preparations may Dot bo easily obtained. I add those drenches, all of which I have used with good results : 1st. Sulphuric ether, one ounce; laudanum, two ounces ; compound de coction of aloes, five ounces. Mix and give every hour until relieved. 2d. Spirits of turpentine, two ounces; laudanum, one and a half ounces ; one pint of sweetened water. Mix aud give every hour. 3d. Aromatic spirits of ammonia, one and a half ounces; one pint of warm ale. Mix and give every hour. The ; above aro what might properly be termed allopathic remedies. The usual homeopathic treatment for colie is two or three doses of aconite, followed by arsenicum. After attacks of colic, great care should be taken with the horse, in order that a relapse does not occur, proper attention being given to the food and water, warm bran mashes and water from which the chill has been taken only being allowed."

Some of our cotemporaries are con tinually throwing into our ears the fact that the. Republican : party saved the nation from dissolution, and urging on that account that thcy. should be con tinually kept in power. The former of these propositions we do. not deny ) on he contrary, we are proud to substanti ate the fact. But the latter conclusion can only De drawn oy mose minus which go in leading strings, and have no independent ideas of their own. vGov. Palmer, one of Illinois' most talented sons, said in a speech during the fall campaign in that State : u No party has the right to ask to be allowed to live upon its past achieve ments. The Republican party to-day have no more right to ask the people of this country to keep it in power on ac count of its past deeds, than has a no ble sire to demand honors on account of the merits of his father.; . Abuses do exist, and I. insist upon their correc tion ; reforms are demanded, and the Republican party must secure them. That is our mission." Let the Republican party see to it that they correct abuses and adopt re forms, and their future will be as glori ous as their past has been brilliant. But if they neglect their duty, their record cannot save them from the doom which awaits all who are negligent of duties, whether they be parties or indi viduals. - EDITORIAL LIFE. We copy the following from an Ex change, to show our readers that the life of an editor is no sinecure, and that those who expect an editor to always advocate just the ideas of each separate individual, are looking for something that is impossible in the very nature of things for them to obtain : ' We have been engaged as editor for the last twenty years, and it matters not how particular we may be in our remarks, some one will take offence. In view of this fact, and in order that we may get a little quietude, we have con clnded to employ an assistant editor ; and to one who can " fill the bill," we offer good wages, prompt payment, and a permanent situation. None need ap ply, unless they possess the following qualifications: 1st. lie must be able to fight his weight in wild oats and come out with out a scratch. ; j 2d. He must be able to drink with every man who asks him, and never fall in the action." 3d. He must go armed with at least two pistols and a bowie knife, and never go off half cocked. - a . - 4th. He must entertain and express such views on all subjects, as will suit the views and tastes of all his readers, it matters not what their views of the subject may be. - oth. He must know exactly how to construct his articles so as to please every bt dy, and offend no one. ' Gth. lie must know now to lie flu ently, and when he tells a lie, to stick to it with becoming dignity. 8th. He must write temperance arti cles for temperance men, and at the same time advocate the cause of saloon keepers. Hlh. And lastly, he must bo all things to all men, and a devil of a feU low generally." A TU31P12K. No trait of character is more valuable than a sweet, genial temper. We can never be made happy without it. It is like the flowers that spring up in our pathway, reviving and cheering us. Let a man go home at night, worn and wearied with the toils of the day, and how soothing is a word dictated by a good disposition. It is sunshine falling on his heart.' He , is happy, and the cares of life t are forgotten . . A sweet temper has a soothing influence over the minds of a whole family. Where it is found in the wife and mother, you see kindness and love predominating over the natural feelings of a base heart. Smiles, kind words and looks charac terize the children, and peace and love have their dwelling there. To tho anxious, careworn housewife, weary with the cares and trials of the day, weighed down and almost discouraged at the prospects of the future, seeing a large family dependent, and knowing that the means of support are very, very limited, when . the future is o'er shadowed with doobt, tho present noth ing but trial and temptation, a kind word comes like a streak of sunshine in a dark, cloudy day ; it illuminates the surrounding expanse, and for the mo ment, at least, it makes her forget all her cares and sorrows, and transports her temporarily into another existence. Study, then, to have a kind word for all you chance to meet. A sweet tern per is always accompanied by kindness, and kindness in ourselves begets the same in others. It is more valuable than gold. Jt captivates more than beauty, and to the end of life retains all 1 its freshness and powor. NEW AD VE1 T1SEMENTS. DORE'S I , PANORAMA OF MILTON'S PARADISE LOST.
