THE OREGON INDIANS. The Portland fnra-

Of the return Of Gen. Lane, and Of treaties 90
peace having been signed by the klamath and
Rogue River tribes of Indians.
A correspondent Of the Statesman ii des-
cribing Lanes first interview with the hostile
Indians, has the following:
".When he was seen within their breast
works every lip pronounced his name-JO

Dathed In tears. The wounded ceased their

trust. Old Joe (Tyee) advanced to NEST him
and tell his story Of the war. He said his
tribe DID not commence the war, on the con-
trary, when they refused to ioin the Shaataa

The SOUTH AND THE ADMINISTRATIONS
The Nashville Union. Nov. 10, contains the
following just remarks on the political condition
of the country:
" We assert, and challenge contradiction.
that at no time during the last twenty wear.
has any administration been as well sustained
by the people the first year after being Installed
in power as has that Of Gen. Pierce during the
first year. The first year is the most difSculR
OF all because during that year all the merco-
nary, who fight for the spoils, are 30 be dis
appointed. Il is then that the party i'm 10 ba
sitled Of mere soldiers Of fortune. The sitting
process This year has been accompanied with !
great deal of noise yet, now that all the cleo
tlons are over, we find the administration sus-
tanned by unprecedented majorties in twenty
seven Of the thirty-one states and whiReery
successful in only two states, and in one Of
those successful only because the democrats saw
fit 70 quarrel.
II whiggery is content with such results
result re-afirmlng in still stronger tones the
judgment Of last November-a result consign-
ing them 10 poweress and hopeless minority
forever Let all the people say amen!'

Lyceun.

Mr.. EDITOR We admired the notice Of
the last Lyceum lecture, in the Northern Tri-
bune or rather, we admired the spunk which
it manifested Verify, forsooth, the "rural
districts" are getting to be some pumpkins,
and sBoston influence" is fast becoming a
thing which was and isn't. We have also a
special admiration for its candor the facts
are facts, and the dates amt nothin' else. Oh
course everybody can ''vide histories Of Eu-
rope. and Gibbons Decline and Fall of the
Roman EMPIRE and the ''Foreign Quarter
lies, all the world and his wife know every
word of them by heart of course they do
1t is pity, however, that the lecturer did no
romance little-just a little, for the specia
qualification and edifcatiOn of the literary
editor Of the Tribune. We really hope tho
next lecturer will bear this point very special
ly in mind.
But the Turks were praised and blamed
-'spetted and punished''-''like ten pins Sc
up and knocked down." Did anybody eve
hear the like! The simpleton To suppos,
we were verdant enough to believe that ma
ton could exhibit at one and the same time
noble and ignoble qualities, or commit praise
worthy and censurable transactions
But the reason assigned, among others, wa
-'that the country was first rate place, ant
was wanted for man." How candid w,
must stop to admire. The readers of the Tri
bune can have no sort of curiosity to know
what those tother'' reasons were, since the
are so highly favored with critic who evi
IDENTIFY possesses large facilities for hearing, I
say nothing of his taste, discrimination Q
judgment.
The Tribune critique commences and pre-
crosses to its final catastrophe with frequer
illusions to the style of the lecture. This W
consider not the least mertorious part of tn
criticism. How many ten thousand pities
is that "Timothy Bigelow, Esq, that youn
man Of pleasing address and graceful gesticr
ulation, had not taken lessons in style and d.
livery Of this wondrous critic, who, if we nil
take not the man is abundantly qualified
give lessons on those topics to all the worl
and the rest of mankind #

The Message.

The wise heads at Washington decided not
10 send the message TO Portland, by express,
thus treating us not so well, in that respect, as
Fillmore's administration. We hope to re-
ceive it from the Boston papers, tonight. If
we do, we shall publish it tomorrow. Maine
is Of Importance about voting time, We sup
pose, il on no other occasion.-Argus, 9Th.
We say ditto TO that. We expected our
postmaster had copy in his hands for US, and
that we should get it in season for our paper
this week, by delaying our issue day. BIT if
it must come secondhand, through the Boston
papers, we won't wait. So we go TO press as
usual, regretting that such an arrangement was
made as to give the Message one day earlier to
old federal Massachusetts than TO democratic
Maine. Our readers shall have the Message
in full next week.

Up---Higher and Higher.

What in the world are we to make of the
times. Excelsior" is written on everything
on our bread and butter, our fuel and raiment.
Every article considered necessary for the
comfort and development of the outer man has
a wonderful penchant for getting up. All the
substantiabilities of life are climbing-four,
butter, cheese, oyster stews, cabbages, rail-
road fares, beefsteaks, ruta bagas, sausages,
skim-milk, and horse-fesh. Ask man the
price of barrel Of flour, and he articulates
nine dollars with about the same expression
of countenance that he would bite off a spike
Hail wood-hauler in the street, and ask him
what he asks for wood, and six dollars is the
answer, with brandish of the goadstick.-
Milk six or eight cents quart, and blue at
that; butter twenty-five 10 thirty cents, strong;
eggs twenty-five cents dozen, and so on to
the end of the chapter. Every necessary of
life seems to have a foundation on yeast which
appears abundant, and there are all kinds
of getting up except getting up in the morn
ing. If we only knew where these things
would stop, it would be consoling. But there
is no telling what the times are to be month
ahead, except the Eastern Times, and that is
always steadfast and worth great deal more
than COST

81 The Democratic Advocate, we are glad
TO perceive, is confident that the Morrell DEM
ocrats" elected 10 the Legislature. cannot be-
coaxed or bribed into coalition with the wings
to reflect Crosby and reject democratic
candidate for the U. S. Senate. We copy the
following from long article on the subject:
We are aware that an attempt will be made
| by certain wings in and out Of the State, TO
form coalition with portion of the demo-
cratic members whom they class as Morrill,
democrats, hoping thereby TO re-elect Crosby
and secure T. 5. Senator in place Of Senator
Bradbury, whose term expired with the last
Congress but no such attempt to buy up DEM
ocratic votes can be successful. They mistake
the position Of the Morrill, democrats, SO called.
At The very mention of such bribery, every
friend Of Hon. Anson P. Morrill, will shrink
as from the poison of a basilisk Morrill, DEM
ocrats (as they designate them,) will never,
nerer join in the corrupt designs Of these ira
ding wings. On the contrary, if satisfied the
Maine Law is safe, they will unite with their
democratic brethren Of the party in rescuing
the people from the misrule Of whiggeFy, and
restoring our State affairs 10 their former pros
porous condition. We are too well acquainted
with the members elect, upon whom attempts
at bribery will be made, to doubt their honor
in resisting such base oVertures. They were
all elected in view TO the perpetuity Of the
Maine Law. and on all other issues their motto
will be "h0ynaOny and conciAation'' in the
democratic ranks al all hazards

THANKsGIvITG DAY AT THE FIVE POINTS.
We learn from the New York Express that
thanksgiving day was celebrated in great style
among the poor Of the Five Points. At the
Mission House and the House of Industry, up
wards Of 700 children, through the charitable
donations Of benevolent citizens, were enabled
to partake of their Thanksgiving turkeys
Between four and five thousand people visited
the Mission House in the course of the day,
most of whom gave freely out Of their adun-
dance. Probably in the course of the day
$1,000 was contributed for the poor Of the
Five Points. In the afternoon, assemblies of
the children and visitors were gathered in the
Mission Chapel and at the House of industry,
where interesting services were held, and ad-
dresses made by Father Gavazzi and other ell
oquent speakers.

- PERHAM, the Panorama man, has got
himself into trouble. He started great prize
lottery some months since, with New Jer-
sey farm, a race horse, watches and penny
pamphlets for the prizes, and called it Per

one hundred thousand dollars from the green
ones, drawn into the scheme, the ticket holders

motion in New York about the farm being
nothing but a turnip patch and the race horse

formerly schoolmaster in Lincoln county,

Congress.

The THIRrY-THIRD Congress which as
sembled in Washington on Monday last con-
sists of CO Senators, 234 Representatives and
Territorial Delegates. This Congress is
composed in greater degree than usual, of
new members, men who have never before been
in Congress.
OF the twenty members of the Senate, whose
terms Of service expired on the 4th of March
last, five only have been reelected, viz,
Messrs. Hunter, of Virginia, Bell, Of Tennes-
see, Douglas, of Illinois, Jones of Iowa, and
Houston, of Texas. Besides these, not a
Senator during the last Congress, is elected to
the present Senate.
OF the $50 members elected to the House of
Representatives, the Boston Advertiser says
about so were members Of the last House, but
large proportion of these were new members
in the preceding Congress. Of the Massa-
chusetts delegation, eight are new members,
and the three others, Messrs. Appleton, Good
rich, and Scudder, have held seats only in the
32d Congress. OF the twenty-nine members
from the six New England States, nine only
were members of the 32d Congress, of whom,
Mr.. Fuller, Of Maine, only, has held seat in
any previous Congress. Mr.. Hubbard of New
Hampshire, and Mr.. Meacham of Vermont,
elected to the SD Congress were members of
the 3lst, but not of the 32d. or the thirty
three members now returned from New York,
twenty-seyen are new members, and of the
other six, one only, Mr.. Bennett held seat
in the preceding Congress. Of the twenty
six Pennsylvania members, nine only had
seats in the proceeding Congress, and two on
ly, Mr.. Chandler, and Mr.. Robbins, in the
3Ist.

The wolves of Maine seem to be numerous
and remarkably fierce the present season
The accommodation stage and passengers
from Rockland to Machias were driven back
from the woods near Indian river, and de-
tanned over night by large detachment of
those obscure beasts. On Friday last, Col.
Campbell was chased by a pack of wolves
while in the woods not halt mile from his
house in Brunswick. Four of them came
within twenty feet of him, whereupon he
turned at bay armed with an axe; and his ad-
versaries, after some accommodating, and
few low growls, concluded to retreat.-Bos
Post
1t appears that in addition to our "wildcat"
and ''bcar'' reputation, our Massachusetts
friends are determined we shall have a repu-
tation for Evolves And they have placed
pack of the 'obscene beasts half mile
from Brunswick, only think of it, about eight
miles only from our civilized and refined city
1t is no wonder such stories ego" well in
Massachusetts where one half the people for
want Of common information, believe Maine to
be bowling wilderness. Some of them came
"down east last summer armed to the teeth,
shouldering a double-barreled musket, and
followed by from three to six dogs, waiting to
be put on track Of ''bar.' Some of the boys
put them Through" There is a great deal
of credulty in the State where witchcraft was
invented. AS to the wolves, we hope the
Bowdoin boys will come to the scratch on
Brunswick plains.
