we nave just IeCeiseo WV
numbers Of the Oregon Statesman, the last
of which is dated on the llth April. We
select a few items, mt received hitherto
through our New York exchanges. In
mentioning the Senatorial election in this
State, the Statesman says:
"CoL Benton has been defeated in Mis-.
souri,. 2 The Joint Convention ballotied
several days, when Of the fortieth ballot,
Henry 8. Geyer, of St. Louis, Wing, was
elected BY a vote of 80 against 55 for Mr..
Benton, and % scattering. The Benton
Democrats formally resolved TO adhere to
that gentlemen to the last, and accordingly
refused 70 unite with the other wing Of the
psrty upon any other man; and all hopes OF
compromiss diff culties being at an end,
after thirty. nine unsuccessful bsllottings,
a sufficient number Of anti-Benton Demo
Gratis voted for Mr.. Geyer to elect him. II
lis said Mr.. Benton will be chosen to the
House of Representatives, a vacancy being
created 10 the ST. Louis District for him"
The following is an extraordinary an
nouucement to one who, like ourselve, re-
members the first emigrGnt who entered the
Oregon territory:
sour e~nterprising fellow citizen Messrs
Hedges & Barlow, have completed their
arrangements for the construction Of g
steamer to Iun on the Willamet above the
falls at this place, and will set about the
work Immediately. They expect to have
it running early inAugust next, Her dimen'
sions are as follows: Length on the mair
deck, one hundred and twenty feet; beam
twenty three feet; depth Of hold, four feet
The estimated cost Of her construction i!
$32, 00O.
The revenue arrangements are thus sum
med up: ais ri
A late law of congress divides Oregon
Into three collection districts, with three
iports Of entry, viz: Scotsville, Astoria ant
olympia; also, four ports of delivery, viz
Portland, Milwaukee, Pacific City and Mes
qually. We shall publish the law mex
week.
After INDUCING ina bitter deuunciatioI
of the present administration, (Which i
richly deserves,) the Statesman gives thu
following resolution, unanimously adopted
at an immense mass meeting, held at Port
Hand: ..
"Resolved, That the President ofthe u
nited States be respectfully informed tina
there are many respectable individuals il
Oregon, capable of d~ischarging the dutie'
dsvOIviDg upon the judges, as well as o
filling any other Office under the, territorial
government, who would either discharg'
the duties or resign the Office" .aht'

-TemDerauce Convention.

During the last wssk this Convention YVES in
in our city. Many Of the Divisions in
the North East were represented. The MEM
bers, hoveyer, in attendance, We presume, was
much smaller than il would otherwise have been
account Of high water. Hi is withmuch diff
Guilty now that points Immediately on the river
can be reached-the water having run up the
small streams and submerged their bottom lands
The Convention was organized by the election
Of Thomas E. Thompson 81 Palmyra, Presiden',
Vice Presidents and Secretaries.
Their proceedings were marked BY some sharp
debates, attended with a little excitement in and
out Of doors. Resolutions were introduced.
which, In the estimation of some Of the mem
'bers, squinted towards connecting the moral re-
formation with party politics. .Uponthe proprie-
ty ofthsir adoption, an animated contest came up,
in which divers opinions were expressed. Some
supported them, no doubt, because they had de.
to adopt this course in their future con-
duct, and believed the resolutions expressed their
sentiments; others believed no. such principle
was embodied in them, and If so, the act of q
Convention could not be made binding OH the con-
science Of any Individual member. A resPecta-
BILE number, however, OPPOSED shem with a zeal
worthy, perhaps, Of a better fate; for they were
doomed to sustain a Waterloo defeat. They ar.
against them many forcibls arguments
until their batteries were silenced by the charge
of one, who, it seems, was properly styled the
Ajax lebanon of the Convention. The proceed
ings, perhaps, were too much marked by an un'
guarded reverence for One Man, and some Of the
speeches partook too much of a desire to brow
beat and indulge in unjust references, which
smacked Of an intermeddling character.
On Friday evening before adjournment, the
Convention transformed itself into a meeting ioE
the agitation Of Salt River improvement, when
we learn, several eloquent speeches were made
demonstrating the entire practicability Of the pro-
iect, as least as far as Matson's Mill, SO long as
the Mississippimaintains its present height.

The Greenyille rs. c. Patriot, relates
the following interesting incident Of Mas
Dix:
The other day, in conversation win
Miss Dix, the Philanthropist, during her
visit to Grsehville, aIady said oher, "Ars
you not afraid to travel Ill over the coun-
Try alone. and have you not already en-
country alone, and have you not encounter.
ed dangers and been in pefiious situa.
I~tions?" 81 am naturally tinid," said
Miss Dix, sand difident like all my sex;
but in order 10 carry out my p~urPoses,lI
know that it is necessary TO make sacrif-
ces and encounter dangers. 1t is true |
have bsen in my travels through the differ
ent States, in ~perilous situations. / will
mention one which occurred in the State
of Michigan. / had hired Q carriage end
driver to convey ne some distance through
an uninhaoabitsd portion Of the bounty.
In starting, / discovered that the driver, a
young lad, had a pair of pistols with him.
Enquiring what be was doing with arms,
he said he carried them to protect US, as
he had heard that robberies had been COM
nitted on our road. l said to him give
the the pistols will take care Of them.
He did so reluctantly.
In pursuing our journey through a dis
NAL looking forest, a man rushed into the
road, caught the horses by the bride, aud
demanded my purse, raid to him with
as much self possession as could COM
mand, "Are you not ashamed TO rob q wo-
man! / have but little money, and that l
want to defray my expenses in visiting
prisons and poor houses, aud occasionally
in giving to objects Of charity. 1t you
have been unfortunate, and in distress and
in want of money, l will give you IONS"
Whilst thus speaking 10 him, / discovered
his countenance changing, and he became
|deaihly pale" "My God" he exclaimed,
s.TEat veics!' and Immediately told M he
had been in the Philadelphia Pepitentiary,
and had heard me lecture some Of the
prisoners in an adjoining cell. and he now
recognized my voice. He then desired ne
to pass on, and expressed deep sorrow ct
the outrage he had committed. But |
d. ew my purse and said to him, 81 will
give you something TO support you until
you can get into honest employment" de
declined taking anything, until insisted
on his doing SO, for fear he might be temp.
t.. d to rob some one else before he could
get into honest employment"
Had not Miss Dix taken possession Of
the pistols, in all probability they would
have been used BY her driver, and perhaps
both of them murdered! THAT voice"
was more powerful in subduiDg the heart
of a rObber, than the sight Of a brace Of Pis-
tolls.

LEAD-MftfES.

We learn from the Southwestern. Flag,
THAT the lead mines il Jasper and Newton
lcountiss. in this Stats, are now worked with
greet activity, and that recent discoveries
of large quantities of ore have been made
The Flag says, of the Turkay creek mines;
SIN several places we see where the mi
ners had struck leads offrom nine to twelve
Inches thick. These leads or veins all a2-
peared to be standing on edge, a sure indi.
cation, we believe, Of a large quantity OF
mineral As TO the depth pr extent Of the
veins or leads, we could form no idea
Mr.. Cox showed US one shaft. out Of which
had been taken from 80 to. 100000 pounds
Iof ore. This mineral was Of the, quality,
and was on the land owned by the firm Of
the Messrs. SCOTS & Judge Mckee
From Turkey creek mines, w vitited the
Mammonth mines, on Shoal creek, belong
ing to Mr.. George Mosely, Of Neosho.-
Here we found the miners, TO whom we re-
turn our thanks for their kind treatment in
showing us the mines, and answering .our
many inquiries. MIR. Mosely has a furnace
in full blast, and is making a large amount
oflead. We were down in the mines and
out The richest of mineIsl, sixty feet
under ground. - E,37T.Ts
"The ore was struck in these mines at
about the depth OF forty feet, and still con.
.|tinues down. There appears 10 be sheets
of ore from nine to fifteen inches thick run
ming horizontal, about every four feet
These sheets have the appearance Of extern
ding to a great distance. 10 addition there
is one lead or vein, standing on edge, which
furnishes great quantities Of the very rich
est of mineral. Mr.. Mosely appears to
be working these mines with great energy
and enterprise, and is smelling q large
amount Of lead. We also visited the mines
at Mr.. Johnson's, on Grove creek, real
Carthage, where there is another prospect
Of large quantities of mineral. From what
we understood when at the mines, we did
not see the finest prospect for mineral
Tie mines Of MIR. Gilstrap, near the man.
moth mines on SlIosl creek, are said to be
the richest yet discovered. The G~ilstrap
mines we ware anxious to see but failed for
want of an opportunity. We, however.
seeo sufficient to satisfy us there is any
quantity Of mineral in that section Of coun-
try. The mineral discoveries have in this
very short time caused a large emigration
to these new counties, and it is thought the
population will be doubled 10 two years.
"Miners from south.ea Missouri, from
|Galena and Wisconsin. are Ancking to these
new discoveries, confident their labor in
mining Willie paid with an abundant yield
of mine raj. W. have no dnubt their labor
will be amply rewarded. Since our return,
We understand that additional discoveries
have been made near Carthage"
