GEN. GAlNEs.-We do not know any tcs-
1imona that has been paid 10 individual
merit and distinction more appropriate, or
more pleasing 10 him. Than the Resolution
adopted in the House Of Representatives on
Friday last, expressing the sentiment oil this
State in regard 10 The military character and
services of the veteran Gaines. 1t was not
a mere compliment, but well deserved tri
bu,e. which would have been al any other
time out of place, but rendered by the cir
cumstanccs of the present moment peculiar
~ gratifying and fitting.

Messrs. Editors-I have only time 10 say
that the utmost enthusiasm and rejoicing
prevails here in consequence OF The election
which has Just taken place, on the part of
the House, of John P Hale, as United States
Senator, for six Years, from the 4ih of March
next. The whole number Of votes was 27l.
Necessary to choice, 1872. J. P. Hale had

Kelley, l. VIM. Badger, J. The Wings
are firing guns and ringing the bells-aags
are waving across the streets in all direc-
lions, and a thirty yard pendant is suspen-
ded from the betk of the American Eagle on
Top OF the cupoIa Of the Capitol. All is ex-
element. The Locos are awlully down at
the heel-as might be expected.
Mr.. Cass, in the Senate, on Friday, said
General Gaines had raised $4,000 troops
without authority, and in direct violation oil
the Constitution. 1.-THE President had done
so, he would deserve 10 be impeached !
Yet the President made lrdr, in direct vlo-
Iation of the Constitution General Cass
knows this, but in his case it is all right -
Old Gen Gaines can be spared as well as
not. Mr.. Webster stated that the military
and naval expenses ofthe war, were hardly
less than FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS, daily! Who has money to
lend Mr.. Sewer defended Gen. Gaines's
unlawful conduct. 1t was patriotic. Mr.
Webster asked, if in the smoke and log Of
war we were TO lose sight entirely of the
provisions of the Constitution He spoke
cloQuently on Inc necessity oil HoIuluS IL Sd
cred under all circumstances! Quite too
late> The resolution Of inquiry passed.
Gen. Scott, thinks the new war bill, may
be discharged very readily, al the close of
the Mexican war.
Gen. Gaines has been ordered 10 Wash
ington 10 keep him out Of mischief.
The youngest son OF Mr. Webster has al
ready enlisted 40 for his Mexican war COM
pany. California is 10 be Immediately taken
possession Of, IPorders went month be-
fore hostiliiies were known 10 commence!
See lift does not prove so.
The National Fair has closed very salts
factorily at Washington. Ii Is believed
good impression has been made. The dec
iara,ions in Congress Of Messrs. Collamer
and Stewart, that in erery case where pro-
Tee hon has been given at home. the article
Is no" sold lower than before, must have
some effect. What can the friends of free
rade say IN answer and in further excuse
tor 'neir hostility TO our seli-prOtection
OREGoN.-It is now stated that Mr.. Pack
ennam has orders 10 offer 40, to the strait,
and thence 10 the ocean, retaining the navi-
|gation of the Columbia so. a treaty
ehould be made al once.
