Sibcral Sfpubllran. PAUiAS, SATUKJMT OCT.U OCJR REASONS, In our last week's issue we gave some of our reasons for supporting Col. Nes mith for Congress, and it seems that the article waa the cause of com ment by some of the State papers, a mong which was the Sta.esman) which paper, it seems to us, contained criticisms upon portions of our article which were by no means in strict no i'cr !ance with joum tlistio decorum. Jiy what authority the Statesman declares that, wo trying to damn Mr. Nesmith we know not. We cannot understand by what kind of gramatical or common sense construction, the editor could torture our article into an effort to damn Mr. Nesmith. What kind of a reason wouW the editor of the States man have ns gi?e for our support of Nesmith? would he desire us to say, that Col Nesmith while in Congress made a disloyal record? most certainly, thai would be not only unjust, but Untrue in fact. Our advice and appea was made to Republicans in general and to Liberal Republicans in particu lar, which last named, are well organU iced m rolk county, and so tar as we aro informed will vote for Nesmith in a body, and to a man What other reason should or could we hare given to induce that class of citizens to sup Mr. Nesmith '( We did not intend our appeafro apply to the fewwhojclaim to be of Dcmoratic rebel proc'ivities,we do not nor does Col Nesmith expect that the few men in Oregon who entertain those sentiments could be induced to support him. Mr. Nesmith as well as ourselves, expects that he will be sent to Congress by the votes of the loyal ele xnent of the State, not by rebel sympathizers. We could demonstrate, this idea in many ways, for instance not many days since a gentleman stepped into our office on business, and in speaking of the merits and demerits of the respective candidates for Con gress, the gentleman remarked that he could not support My. Nesmith." Somewhat anxious to understand the reason, we modestly inquired, and received about this answer.- "You know, Sullivan, 1 am a rebel dyed in the wool?" I have always so regarded you.wc replied." Well sir'he continued, vou know Mr. Nesmith, while iu Con gria did ll lv ou!d against' ua, and UWU I W UUUUICj UC Would not help us, for this reason G d -him I will not support him,' nor will any of my kind." Dow could we under such circumstances, do more for Mr. Nesmith than to show up. his loyal record, and make our appeal to loyal men to stand by Mr. Nesmith, and if possible make good the number of rebels who should desert him in this his second struggle for a position, that would! again enable this able statesman to take a rrominenl part in the overthrow of any effort to resurrect the Southern Confederacy, and Jackson like, strike down iu its incipency, any overt act of treason, or attempt at nulificatiou, State's Supremacy, human slavery or repudiation; We shall bee if the Stales man possesses the fortitude to retract its construction. THE I'lCHTINC; M COOKS The Dayton Jonrnul states that Gen Edwin Stanton McCook, who was assassinated by Wintermute,is the fifth member of the family who met violent deaths Three were slain in battle, and two assassinated.

The Tribune this morning publishes the translation of two reports of the Union Pacific Railroad. From the Tribune's state ment it appears that two years ago the U. P. Railroad attempted to negotiate the sale of large quantities of its bonds in Europe. Applications was made to the Union Bank of Vienna, and also to capitalists in Berlin, and the result was the appointment of two Comrais ioners, who came over to America and made a personal examination of the road and part of the region through which it passed. Two reports ero made, one to Berlin captal'usts, and the other to the Union Bank of Vienna. The reports presented iu pretty strong light the advantages of the II. P. Railroad, aud tho extent of traffic thft road must ultimately obtain. They concurred in the opinion that for same years after its completion the Company would be unable to pay interest on it bonds, and agreed in advising Euro pean capitalists nut to invest in it. The advice of the examiners was adopted and the negotiations at 'Berlin and Vienna fell through. New York, October 8.

'- Last evening a little girl, aged about 11 years, was found by officer Buck in oue of the houses of ill fame on Second street, where fhe had ben decoyed by a proeuTss. On being tnken by the officer i'rotn the abode of infamy ?hc told her story, which was certainly- a pitful one it true.Thcgirl gave her name as Mary K. Sullivan. She said that she lived in Kalama , her father went to tho States some time ago, leaving her and her mother alono and unpro vided for. He r mother, she said, had beat her and treated her with great crucify for a long time, and which culminated, last week, in tho parent driving the child away from home. She was told by the inhuman mother, that if she ever oame back again, she (tho' mother) would kill her. After wandering about and cncoarHcring much trouble, the girl liad managed to get to Portland, where she soou aftor fell into the hands of the vile creature, in whose house she was found by the, officer. Promises of kind treatment, food and clothing were made her, and she in child like simplicity, thought that there was nothing Wronsr io execptiug the hospitality thus tendered by tho debased and evil minded woman, who was peeking to reap a reward for the part she was acting in juring innocence to ruin and disgrace. When the character of tbo houso and the inmate was explained by the officer the child envinced great willingness to abandon both. Ques tioning tho propriety of placing so young a gill in jail for the night, officer Buck at lengh obtained admiss ion for her in a privato family where she remained last night. To-day the matter will be investigated. If tl e child'sj statements of tho wrong she has endured, are true, the heartless mother shonld be made to suffer; and, at all eveuts, it is jq iustanco which illicits tho most- lively sympathies fo tho fate of tbo hapless wanderer, and should call for prumpt assistance.
