Wo reached tho catioo in a short time I was helped Into it, and lied don took tho poddlo anil shoved out ; judging from his awkwardness I pre sumed this was his first attempt at ca noo navigation. Wo found tho ebb ing tide so swift thai tho crossing could not ho inndo, and it was with much difficulty that ho managed to laud at tho Indian camp, whoro wo surrendered ourselves to the hospital ity of tho two old squaws, whom wo found to bo friends in deed. We could only convorso hy signs, hut found that they wcro friendly to tho whites, and while not at war with the Coquillcs and lower tribes, woro not on very Irionuly terms, vto also learned that all tho Cooso Indians ex cept this family wera up tho river at the fisheries. Thcso squaws had a full knowledge of what had happened to our party at tho Coquillo river, und madoovoryoirortin tin ir power to liclp us. A lire was kindled, a luxury wo had not enjoyed since tho 13th uud I soon became warm, which instead of relief ajqicarcd to add to my misery ; a lurgo quantity of sniull fish, about tho size of a sardine, wero laid before us, I was unable to cat much, but Heddeu's appotito was good, and in fact ho was ravenous ; and to use an expression of his "that ho ate enough to last him to tho Umpqua," conveys but a small idea of what a hungry nun can cat. The squaws appeared uneasy while wo wero there, but the old Indian soon appeared on the beach, and one of tho squaws took tho canoe and soon lauded him at camp. He was excited uud projKiscd to set us over tho rivor at once. I was laid down in tho bottom of tho canoe, Iledden in the how, and the Indian in the stern ; wo wero soon moving up tho main river, keeping oloso alone tho shore for some distance, when w struct out for tho opposite siilo, about ono mile distant. Tho tido was running down swiftly, and tho wind blowing up fu riously ; it was rough for our little ca noe, tho water slopped all over mo and when wo lauded a little way uIkivo tho ocean tho canoe was half full of water. I was fully us comfortable as I had been any time to-day, and was perfectly indifferent whether I got out or not, but after so mo difficulty and hurting mo considerable, lleddeu and tho Indian lifted mo out of tho canoo and set mo up oi tho beach, and complaining as usual. lleddeu pronounced mo "all right as long as I could stand alone." Tho Indian sot out for homo and wo passed slowly over tho low drifting sand hills (o tho ocean and turned our faces towards tho Umpqua, 20 miles to tho north, uud apparently a smooth sand beach all tho way, with drifting sand hills on the right. Tho wind was north west and blew so hard against us, that without Heddeu's assistance I know I could not have kept my fcot a momont ; resting at shorter intervals than usual, it becamo necessary for us to camp early in tho afternoon, so reaching a lono black pino tree a fow yards back in tho sand hills, wo camped, exposed to tho wind, fog and cold chilly damp ness, where we woro destined to pass another misciablo night. Sopt, "0. 1851. Last night was per ceptibly moro sovoro than any pre vious ono Hcddon improved all his time rubbing mo carefully, covering mo up in tho sand, bolstering mo up in ono place and casing mo down in another in his efforts to roliovo mo, and uftcr a tedious night wo had tho satisfaction of seeing morning appear. I had an inward fovor, or Homefhiiig of that sort, which caused mo to thirst much more than usual hut wo had soon no fresh water sinco wo loft tho Indian camp at Cooso, and was now suffering for drink in addition to my othor tortures. Tho brush and briors wo had been continually passing through had so out my feet and logs, that they woro completely raw, uud lloddon's was in equally as bad a condition, I felt woakor, wounds soror, my body moro discolored and my pains much moro sovero ovory day, yet was barely ablo to stand up on my foot, and hy tho tiiun it was fairly light lleddeu had mo under way dragging uud almost carrying me along ovor tho sandy Loach, resting at every fow yards. Tho morning was cold and thick, hut soon became fair: at niuo or ton o'clock tho high prevailing winds set in and continued all day. Tho bonoh was smooth, no obstruction in tho way, yet progress was slow and pain ful as usual. About noon wo reached a stream of fresh water about 20 feet wido breaking in through tho sand hills I was much in need of drink, but this water was Warm and tasted disagreeably swampy and did not quench thirst a bit, I drank too frco ly and becamo sick in consequence of it. Wo rested an hour or two at this point and thou moved on I did not think I could go any further,'but Hcd don insisted upon a quick start, so we drifted along a fow rods at a time and did not go into camp until nearly sundown, and as anxious as I had been to stop, I dreaded it when Hod den announced his intention to turn oiroutof reach of tho spray and camp in tho sand, with no tree, no shelter and no protection whatever hut moth er earth for a bed and tho canopy of Heaven for a covering. Sept. 21, 1851. If mortal man over suffered in this world, it was myself during tho past night I wulkcd, cried und prayed for death, in any form ; I cared not how it camo, and end my torture at once, but all to no purposo, in due timo the light of another disappeared. Hodden set mo up on my feet this morning, and I was unable to bear my weight and ho laid mo down again on tho ground and hesitated for a few inomentH what to do. I begged of him to go on and leave mo alone in tho sand hills to die, but ho was more determined than ever and declared that while life last I must movo on ; from this decision there was no ap peal. He therefore tore up his shirt, twisted it into a largo rope, fastened the ends together forming a kind of loop of about.) feet in diameter, threw this over his heid and under his right arm, in the manner in which a hunt er wears a shot pouch, then lifting me up and thrust my head and shoulders through the loop under his right arm, so that' I could bear a portion of iny weight upon him, and in this manner he walked mo along at tho rate of about 200 yards at a time ; this he considered good progress. This prov ed to he our last days march, wo wcro at the mouth of tho Umpqua river about the middle of the afternoon. Day was foggy and cold Wo came upon tho dismantled remains of an old Brig, called tho Caleb Curlie wrecked at the Umpqua bar u short timo before, and which was driven ashore on tho south side of the river, and under tho lee of this I was placed and Hedden started up tho river as fast as possible for assistance, not knowing how far ho would go, or how long ho would bo gone. In about half an hour back ho camo with three or four Indians from a ranch above, and I was packed to their camp where wa ter was obtained, and again placed by a fire, but before I was warmed up wo heard the sound of a row-boat in the river, which proved to boCapt. Gibbs and Homo of his men from tho brig Ahnint which happened to bo in the rher alone, and these parties had come down to obtain an iron strap from tho old wreck, but seeing our condition, ho took us in his boat and returned with us to Gardiner, about eight miles above, which was the nearest point where any one was living, which wo reached a little before dark. Wo were received with that hearty and hospi table welcome, only known to our ear ly pioneers ; I was soon washed all ovor and my wounds dressed for tho first timo.

The Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia, havo just turned out a remarkable piece of work intended for a remarkable purpose. It is a passenger engine constructed for tho Heading road, to bo run over the Bound Urook route, between Philadel phia and New York, in which service it is intended to eclipse anything of tho kind going. It has been built chiefly for speed, and, if the expecta tions of the contracting parties are carried out, tho timo between Phila delphia and New York over the above routo will be lessened about half an hour. Tho distance between tho two places is ninety miles, and tho fastest trains over both the Pennsylvania and Bound Brook roads have been making it in about two hours. The Reading peoplo are aiming to make the distance in one hour and a half, and with this object in view they some time ago contracted with the Baldwin Company to build them an engine that would perform that work, or, in other words, accomplish ninety miles in ninety consecutive minutes. The now engine has the largest pair of driving wheels, perhaps, of any passenger locomotive in this country, tho wheels being G feet in diameter. Tho ordinary driving wheel of a pas senger engine has a diameter of from CtoC.'i feet. 'Tltencwengino is dif ferent in other respects, also, having but ono pair of driving wheels instead of two additional smaller ones, as is the usual custom. To Itcfculnto Imiuic'ritttoB. Tho unprecedented immigration to this country which is now in progress has sot our Congressmen to thinking on this subject of tho possiblo effect of an indiscriminate license to emi grate to Our shores. We want men who arc willing to labor, but vagrants and criminals ara not desirable. A bill has beon introduced in Congress to regulate this business. It provides for tho approbation of $250,000 to bo expended in protecting the immi grants who aro received, and in guard ing against tho admission of such as should bo rojectcd. It requires a re port of tho luine, age, last legal resi dence und occupation of overy immi grant upon arrival, ami prouiuiu uio landing of thoso who havo within six months been inmates of lunatic asylums or poor houses, requiring ships that brought them to give them a freo return to tho port from which thoy camo. It also guards against the admission of persons charged with criino.

This is attributed to tho rep resentations that havo been made to tho olfect that tho etitrnnco of the Columbia is rapidly shoaling, mak ing it dangjrotia for largo vessels to attempt to cross tho bar.

Coast Mail: I much regret my inability to visit Coos Bay and vicinity and address the people there upon matters of vital interest, llav ing had tho pleasure of a trip there in 1878 and having found my follow cit izens there, ir-rcspectivo of party, whole-souled, courteous and hospita ble in the extreme and wide awake to all their material interests, nothing would give mo greater pleasure than an extended trip there now, but as my time for canvassing the State is limited and desiring to visit many points whore I havo not been, I find it impossible to visit Coos or Curry counties ere the Juno olection. While at Coos Bay and Gardiner, two years ago, I personally inspected several places requiring and needing aid and legislation from tho general government, nd fully expressed my self in favor of tho improvements contemplated, believing then as I do now that they wero justly demanded and of great benefit to thoso impor tant commercial points and to the State at large. I then expressed my faith in a bright future for your sec tion ; sinco then you havo witnessed the commencement in that direction and I am glad to see these improve ments begun, and hope no stone will bo left unturned until tho vast and valuable resources of that section' Coos Bay, Port Orford, Coquillo and Umpqua arc fully opened up to the commercial world for development. A representative in Congress from this State who desires to represent the people and the interests of every tec- (ton without ttultnctton, as a represen tative should do, will endeavor with all his power to secure the fostering aid of tho general Government in be half of the interest of those isolated portions of our State so long neglect ed in this respect, and I believe it to be the part of commercial wisdom for each part of our State to work for and encourage the development of every other part, and that it is a solemn trust imposed by tho peoplo of the State upon these charged with the performance of tho duty of securing legislation, to caro for the welfare of overy section and every interest. Please to convey to my many warm friends among your readers my earn est desire, in case it may become my duty to do so, to render any and all assistance in my power to these de sirable ends. Very Respectfully, M. C. George. Extract from a Npeccli of Hob. J. y. lolp!i, of Portland. Tho following forcible summary of tho issues of tho present canvass, is from the speech of J. N. Dolph, at tho late ratification meeting in Port land : A fow days ago wo wero rcmiuded of tho anniversary of the assassina tion of President Lincoln. Well do I remember tho sorrow and excitement of that day, and subsequent funeral pageant and tho eulogy of ex-Governor Gibb. Suppose on that occasion Gov. Gibbs had predicted that within less than fifteen years, cloven confed erate States, out of a representation of ninoty-thrco members in Congress, would bo represented by cighty-fivo confederate soldiers ; that there would bo sixty-five confederate soldiers in tho House, and twenty in tho Senato of tho United States, besides threo who had hold high civil positions in the confederate Government. Who would havo believed him? Yet so it is. Tho confederate cause dominates in both Houses of Congress. It blocks tho wheels of legislation. It seeks the repeal of tho laws provided by loy al men to secure tho purity of elec tions, and only fails becauso Presi dent Hayes has baekbono enough to uso tho veto power conferred upon him by tho constitution. And moro than this. The South stands knock ing at tho doors of Congress for tho payment of their slaves, for payment for damages suffered from tho war. It is well known that it has kept an account of its slaves and preserved tho prool of tho loss of property, and ex pects to recovor them from tho uenor al Government, Lot them once se cure tho President by fair or foul means, und their claims will be paid. Tho North, representing four-fifths of tho taxable property in tho Union, will bo taxed for their payment. Not only this, but tho confederate soldiers will bo pensioned. Tho emancipa tion proclamation and constitutional amendments will bo declared void. If tho Supremo Court, tho hut bul-; wurk of constitutional liberty, is in tho way, they will not want, as was sug gested by another speaker to-night, for tho judges to die, or incrcaso tho members of tho court, but a Brigadier General with a file of soldiers will re duce the court to submission, You do not all bslicvo in tho existence of this danger. You did not belicvo the South would fight. You were amazed when Fort Sutnpter was fired upon. I am no alarmist, bui I see the dan ger imminent and real. It was fore shadowed by Ben Hill in the House of Representatives when ho said: " The next time wc fight wo will fight under the old flag and you shall be the rebels." There is a cloud in tho heavens. It is larger than a man's hand. It overcasts two thirds of the horizon and is black and portcntious. Tillamook Rock, nod It Una Sfcru TUe aew JLIgIit Houite. A reporter of tho Telegram called on Mr. Rallantyne, superintendent of the Tillamook light construction, and re ceived an interesting account of the work on Tillamook light liouso from which we take the following extracts : The rock itself is 125 feet in extent, from east to west, and from 70 to 80 feet around, north to south. This, however, will fail to give you an ade quate idea of its extent, as it rises to a hight of 120 feet above, the water, and is so steep and precipitous that it might be said to havo no top at all. In laying tho base of the lighthouse, which will be but 48 feet square, it will be necessary for us to cut into the rock 25 feet and to level it from one end to the other. This job has been about completed and was a hazardous un dertaking. In the first place tho rock is exceedingly hard to get to. Mr. Trewayas on the 3d of last Novembei took a number of men out when.the sea was comparatively smooth, and attempted to gain a foot hold on tho rock. He found it black with seals. Tho party appro ached as closely as possiblo to tho dangerous mass, and, watching their opportunity, jumped with the waves to the incline. The first man to make the attempt was successful. He carried a rope with him, which was attached to Mr. Tre wavas, who made the next attempt. When the waves raised tho boat high up in the air Trewavas jumped. Ho reached the rock in safety, and had made his way so far up the incline that he evidently thought himself out of danger; ho therefore released his hold on the rope. Just then, however, a sea crept round the edgo of the rock, and, sweeping up the surface, washed him into tho deep. The other man rushed down to help him and the next sea hurled him also from the rock, and before assistance could be given both men wero drowned. Their bod ies wero never recovered, and it is probable they were eaten up by the sea lions, which, at that timo were un usually plentiful about the rock. We can catch seals and play cards at night. The seals, however, are fast leaving us. When I first landed on Tillamook, by estimation, there were 1-100 great big fellows onthe rock, but now only one or two old stand-bys can be seen. The men, however, have lots of fun lassoing them. Ono man tho other day attempted to capture an old fellow who was blind in ono eye. Ho slipped up behind him, but just as ho was about to cast tho rope, bis feet slipped and ho landed fairly and squarely on the seal's back. The old fellow, by a twist of his tail, threw the man under his body, and would doubt lessly have done him great injury but for tho presence of mind of another workman, who ran up and split the seal's head with an ax. The rock is 1J miles from the main land, and very difficult to approach. The light is expected to be exhibited first on tho last night of Doc, 18S0. Jadge Danger fleld drops Dead. William P. Dangerfield, presiding justice of the superior court, of San Francisco, dropped dead on the bench at noon on the 5th. Ho was hearing a case when ho suddenly threw up his hands, gasped once or twice and expired instantly. He has been in ill health for some months past. Death is attributed to heart disease. Deceased was a native of Virginia, aged 56, and was judge of the 12th district court pre vious to re-organization of judiciary under tho new constitution. The body was laid out in the courtroom pending the arrival of tho coroner. D. II. Steaiins, of the Portland Daily Bee, has commenced suit against Win. Roid, manager of the Oregon Railway Limited, for $6,300, allogcd to bo duo him for services 'rendered in getting up tho narrow gaugo railroad boom. An offset of ,$3,000 is allowed on admitted indebt edness, leaving tho amount claimed to bo 2,-100. . Ex-Governor A.

The Development of our Mines, tho Improvement of our harbors, and rail road communication with the Interior specialities. 1 ' i Death of a Hard Case, Last week Henry Wehrun of Salem died. Our exchanges say that during his life ho was one of tho notorious characters of Marion county, and it is said that ho has contributed to tho school fund of that county in tho way of fines, over flC,000. On ono occa sion he was arrested for inhumanly whipping his wife, she making tho complaint against him. He was in due timo tried and convicted, and tho charge against him being made out a felony, he stood a good show to go to the penitentiary. But.bcforo he wai sentenced the heart of the wife relent ed, and going before Judge Boise who presided over the court, she had tho audacity to offer him tho sum of $2, 000 if he would let tho prisoner oft". Tho Judge in justice to himself, rela ted the circumstance in open court and after stating the offer made by tho woman, he stated that it was only from the belief that the offer was made in entire ignorance of its being a crime that he did not commit the woman. Wehrum escaped the penitentiary, it being in the discretion of the court to impose a fine, and the wife whipper was mulccd in the sum of f 2,000 for the offence. After many separation! he and his wife were legally divorced and Bhc left the place, but during his last illness, in response to his earnest entreaties, she attended him until death ensued. Wehrum waa contin ually in trouble and invariably heavi ly fined in the courts when brought before them. Wfey 'WoBiesa Work. It is curious that the world has yet to be couvinced that women do not like to work any better than men do. They aro credited with dependence with a love of ease and luxury, ana yet when a salaried positipn-is -in question the woman haa,to"bc content with les3.because "she needs less." It cannot be because she spends less, for the extravagance of women was dwelt upon by Solomon and Jeremiah, and it is a song that has never known a rest. The reason for the difference in wages is generally found to be in the asser tion that women who do not need a support, or who have few responsibil ities, crowd into the paid occupations. There is an inconsistency here. If she loves ease, why does she work; If she spends more, how is it she needs lessT The truth is that very few women woik from any other rea son but necessity. Here and there ia one who loves independence, works for it and deservs it, and here and there is another who would rather wort than forego certain luxuries, and she earns them, but the majority of women work because they have re sponsibilities, and as a class they are our most reliable,, sober, and econom ical workers, for no woman with a family of little children gambles away their bread and butter, and no sister or daughter who is, of necessity, the bread-winner, wastes what she earns and comes home to a sad hungry fam ily, bringing them 6mpty hands and indifference to their needs.

A man who is mark ed with either cowardice or treachery at the Little Big Horn fight, with im proper advances to a brother officer's wife, and the lowest kind of drunken brawling, is too heavy a load for Con gress to carry."
