Jn the year loDU one yenr preced ing the war we visited tlu Patent Of fice Department in Washington, and we were surprised to learn how few among the thousands of models received yearly came from the South, an 1 how rKwy came from the North. We wtre told by the Commissioner that less than ten per cent, of the whole number of op plieants came from tte then slave states, and or this small number a con eiderable proportion were from Northern men residing in the bouth. We put this question to the Commissioner 4t Why is it that Southerners iu vent so little? Have they less constructive- ness than Northerners V I o which he replied: " No; the one is quite as in genious as the other ; but the one is a planter and the other a manufacturer. The rudest instruments an.swer the pur- poses of his rudo agriculture, while the ! manufacturer needs, and must have the best mechanism. Again: there is an j aristocracy in the south which looks on labor as a punishment rather than a; . pleasure, and only those work who mutt!' But idea or prejudice passed away with the "peculiar institution," and now a different state of things ex ista. The Patent Office records of the present year show a great increase of Southern inventions. Instead of the seven or eight per cent, of 1859, it has now thirty per cent, of the whole cred ited to the former slave States. Is not this encouraging ? Southern gentlemen fvbo had never supposed themselves capable of suggesting a mechanical de vice, " take to it" as kindly as a natural born Connecticut-Yankee clock-maker. We hope to chronicle great things in thb respect now that the hess mecnan ism is to be used in the South. Aunt Ophelia's characteristic expression, " Oh how Bhif tless !" will soon become obsolete. Here is a paragraph to the point from the Arlizan : M The Plantation, a Georgia agri cultural journal, in speaking of the dearth of inventions hitherto shown in the Southern States, asserts that the earth does not hold a more restless, ao- tive, energetic, thinking man than the nmldIeeountry Southerner and that they will hereafter produce, ' in rapid succession, inventions of permaneut utility to man We are glad to hear this from an authority evidently faniiU iar with the subject spoken of, aud in the truths expressed thereby lies the germ of marvelous promise to the South. When the genius of her people bhall be turned to the utilization of the minerals hidden, and as yet almost un sought for, beneath her soil, the timber that grows uutouehed in her forests, and the water power that now wastes itself in picturesque tumbliug over the crags of her valleys, it will take but a little while to attain a thrift, far nobler in itself and more honored by the world, than was ever the luxuriant but idle prosperity of a score of years ago. 44 It is especially desirable that the work of devising new machinery to meet the peculiarities of Southern in dustries should be done by Southern men. The inventive skill of Northern mechanics can supply devices to fulfill auy demand with the nature of which they are familiar. Uut the condition under which machinery in the region referred to must be used are so differ eut from those obtaining in the North ern, Eastern and Western sections of the country, that no experience, how ever thorough, gained in these last would be of use in elaborating improve ments for use in the other. We believe that there is room for hundreds of new inventions applicable to agriculture.arts, and manufactures m the Southern States, and thesooner they are produced by the energy and talent of the people tuereol, the better will it be. DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE LAS C.UAGE. THB KMTOR OP TtlE "BALD EAGLE CLARION STAYS ALL NIGHT AT THE " ISE HolSS ON BLHNT lUVfcll IN KA3TEHN ORKGON. Now I own to being an innocent man, and pride myself upon my good be havior, aud 1 did think that all Amen t . i cans spote the same language. I was mistaken, as will be seen. I rode up tvJ the door, when the following si met my view: tf Ise House and other things;" very bad grammar, 1 said, mentally inquiring what the 44 other things" might be. I called, when a scraggy, beetle-browed M.t cuimmi ot ilu genus homo made his advent at the door, when I inquired could I stay all night ? 4 Lase your beast of your filthy car c.iss, anu 411 manic aua hang your self on the first peg you see." My dear sir, said 1, I do not desire to com mit suicide at present. 44 Git eout,' saiu ne, turning to late care ot my mule. I went in; there were severa in the room. Presently the landlord returned, when supper was anuounced. 44 Would you strangle a little hash V said he. I am not tf a vicious turn, sir; I am a man of peace. 4IJut would you not put something in the ?ay of truck in your gizzard V said he. Oh, said I; seeing that all the rest of the company had bolted for the table, I don't care if I have a little sapper. 44 That's it," said he, " I thought you was wolfish." Supper being over, I enquired where I would sleep. 44 You can roost with Puddin' head William ; or, in plain language. Mush-head Hill, first room to the left, up stairs," said the landlord, looking up from a game of Poker. I went up a very ricketty lad der,came to the door d2signatcd, opened the door and was greeted by au awful groan, and a voice said, 44 who are you ; what the d 1 do you want here V 1 own to being a little shocked, and thinking it was more than likely that I had got into a private lunatic asylum, I replied : I, sir, am Mr. Quilldriv- er, at your service, I yuppose you are the Hon. boup-headed William, (I had forgot the name partly), I am profoundly happy to make thy august acquaintance; eouia I in any way advance your inter ests through the influence of the C7f rion ? Supposing, of course, to receive a small consideration for services ac tually rendered. Personal notices in-J !lfJ?cahIn8 avorab you or jum wiiujiauou, iwenty-uve cents per line; dirt cheap, sir, considering the unparalleled circulation. " Now, look ye," said William I'm busted if I t&ke auy more of your abuse. Plant your self." Uut, I sir, wish a part of the bed, said I. " Sail in," replied William. Sir, said I, I am already ia, and I am feign to confess that I do not exactly understand the manly art of sailing, al- though l have uubounded sympathy with the arduous duties of a sailor. I sir have never been on the racing main. 4 What the devil do you mean r said William. I mean, sir, that I want part of this bed. 44 Muzzle it, then, and be d d to you, and shut up your in fernal fly-trap, I want to sleep." bir, said I; I have no muzzle, and the bed is not a dangerous thing anyhow, and ns to fly-traps, I do not deal in the article, but I can recommend you to a very reliable firm, whose ad " is in my paper, who do; allow me to present you with their cardGristle & Whitkius they will furnish you with their cele brated double-ended tiy-trap at the loi- lowiugtow rates, strictly for cash, j 'To I with you and Gristle & whit- kms, and take your infernal fly trap with you : you are the biggest qead- beat that I ever seed." Dir.sam i.uristi ingl am not dead.I am the editor of the Bald Eagle Clarion, and,sir, I-scorn the imputation of beiug either deid or beat, and to prova what 1 say, please sit up in bed and read this seventeen column lender which I wrote, pioviug conclusively to any ordinary intellect that we have had a war ia Aajenca. William flrst hustled to the bacl side of the bed, but as I advanced to present him a copy of my paper, he commenced getting up. 44 No you don't" said he ; then to himself: 4cray by hi 1. Crazv's no name for it : if I git out of this I'll set up the rest of the J night, confound him I stood calmly by watching his actions, for I thought him demeuted, and as I had often heard that a lunatic thought everybody else- fools, I did not iattrrupt him. 44 Let rue pass, stranger," said he: 44 I want to go down stairs." He shot down stairs, making the descent in about three jumps. He accosted the landlord thus : 4 That fellow you sent up to my room is as cratv as a bedbug. I told ,him to turn in, and he wanted to sell uie sev enteen thousand fly-traps; told me where I could get them wholesale, strictly for cash ; then went on with a lot ot stuff about Gristle & Wfiifkins; what do I know about them ? II called him a dead beat, and he sprang a rig marole about a bald eagle and! carion, aud the fool wanted me to sit up u bed and read a seventeen colama ac count of the butzard's deviltry aud explitcs When he first come in he tuli me something about driving quill, like as if as soft a thing would drive, and called me the Hon. Souphead. cuss him For two cents, I d burn him out." and he rolled his eves (savagely towards the loft. In a moment ho was Lpnlv Mrod in the name with the landlord and packer. 1 had ,that bed to mvsclf that night. The nfxt morn- ing William eyed me sharply, iand took good care to get at the fariherest end of the table from roe. This, I confess was perfectly agreeable to me. I ready to start, when I saw was just u U Ham cautiously advancing toward: me ; he came uo within about thirty Jeet, when he stopped, pulled out his! revolver, cocked it, and said : 44 I never takes an insult from no man, no difference where ho is, crazy or not ; now, if you don t take all that abuse back that you gin me last night, I'll raise your top-knot." Mv dear sir. said I. 1 am a man of peace, I am the editor of la paper; could I not induce you to subscribe on the spot? I was advancing toarard him ; he fired -on hot wdo of the mark, then turned and bolted for the b;irn The last words that I heard him say were : 4 raving crazy, madder nor a March hare: cuss nun. l wisn i nau fetched him." I hastily mounted my mule, and made double quick time out of that. N. IV I have sinde Inarned that neither William nor I understand all the Knglish language. Editor of the Bald Eagle Clarion VULGAR. One of the quickest ways to expose ignorance, and alack of cul ture gained by travel, is loud talking at a public table upon maiyiauai mat ters. I A man may be mnch respected and looked up to at home for having worked and surrounded himself with a nice home, aod plenty of good things, but when he goes abroad he must not expec that people will take him for more than his actions denote. Loud talk at a hotel table between a man and his wife depreciates the gen eranmpres8ion 0f both, and placet them in aridTculoU3 iisht. 'There i a differ- ence betweeu an easy, quiet self posses sion, a perfectly well-bred-at-home feel inp among strangers and a grim pom posity whiv'h amounts onlyj to disgusting vulgarity, although some people who have not traveled far from home have not found it out. Elm Orlou. Cyrus W. Field gave a I Banquet Tel egraphic Conference ot Rome, at which 21 countries, 20 languages and private companies whose aggregate capital is 300,000,000 francs, were present.

Prom the Washington correspondent of tho Eugene Journal we learn that 'resident Grant informed an Oregonian a few days since, that it was his desire frcm the first of his administration to have Mr. Williams in his Cabinet as Attorney General, but refrained from appointing him, on the ground that the appointment of Mr. Williams, at that une, would cause a vacancy in the Senate, which would be filled fey a Democrat. He,therefore, deemed it best to let Mr. Williams retain his position as Senator, until the expiration of his term, which he accordingly did, and then requested the resignation of Mr. Ackerman and appointed Mr. illiams. The Democrats, as well as Republicans, from the Pacific slope, in Washington, express their approval of the appoint ment. Concerning the recent changes in the Indian Department, the corres pondent says : "Senator Corbett states that the Secretary of the Interior informed him on the 25th of November, that, on the solicitation of Rev. Mr. Harris of the Methodist Hoard of Missions, he had decided to transfer the Iudian Agency at Fort Hall from the Catholics to the Methodist, aud the Grande Ronde Agency from the Methodists to the Catholics, in accordance with which Mr. P. R Sinnot was nominated. Sen ator Corbett also says that, on account of dissatisfaction resulting in part from the assignment of the rort Hall Agency to the Catholics, at the request of the Superintendent of Indian affairs, he was asked by hecretary Delano on the 10th of December to designate a new Superintendent for Oregon aod named Mr. Odeneal Payment of the Dunr. In mv annual report to Congress fur 1870, I expressed the opinion that the settled policy of the country should con'ctn- plate a revenue sufficient to meet the ordinary expenses of the government, pay the interest on the public debt, and from twenty -five to fifty millions ofdol lars of the principal annually. It that . . , t . L opinion L auuere. ami wun even a stronger conviction, that the payment annually upon the principal of the pub lic debt should not be lesa than fatty millions of dollars. Large as the rcve nues of the country have been during the past three rears, our system of tax- ation has not necn oppressive 10 inai- viduats ; nor has it in any sensible de gree eir.barra-sed the business of the country, and, while relief from taxa tion is desirable, yet it is more desirable to maintain the public credit in its pres ent elevated position, not only as an ex ample to other natious, but for the his torical value in enabling the govern ment to make loans for large amounts, upon favorable terms, if unhappily in the future an exigency should require suh loans to be made. The power to negotiate a largo loan of 5 percent., and enter upon negotiations for the sale of bonds drawing 0, 4 J and 4 per cent, in terest is derived entirely from an ex hibition of an honest purpose, on the part of the people, to maintain the public faith, and tho consequent ability on the part of the government to make large and frequeut payments upon the public debL2 Report oj Secretary of Treasury. Keep Stuiaght Ahead Pay no attention to slanderers or gossip-mongers. Keep straight on in your course, let their backbiting die the death of neglect. What is the use of lying awake nights, brooding over the remarks of some false friend, that runs through your brain like forked-lightning ? What's the use of getting into a wor ry and fret over gossip that has been set afloat to your disadvantage by some meddlesome busybody, who has more time than character ? H'J'hese things can't possibly iujure you, unless, iudeed, you take notice of them, aod in combatting them, give them character and standing. If what is said about you is true, set yourself right at once; if it is false, let it go for what it will fetch. If a boo stings you, would you go to the hive and destroy it J Would not a thousaud come upon you f It is wisdom to say little respecting tne injuries you nave received. " We aro generally losers in tho end if we stop to refute all the backbitings and gossipiogs we may hear by the way. They are annoying, it is true, but not dangerous, so long as we do not stop to expostulate and scold. Our characters are formed and sus tained by ourselves, and by our own actions aod purposes, add not by others. Let us bear in mind that 44 calumnies may usually be trusted to time and the slow but steady justice of public opin ion." iwr,.-. : PROFESSIONAL CARDS, dC. I It.
