ATTEMPT TO Fo1sT SLAVERY UPON OREGON.
The Rochester IN. Y } Democrat makes the fol-
lowing remarkable statement -
eve expect soon to publish communica-
tons from a gentleman of the highest intelli
gence and of entire reliability, In reference to
the purpose of many of the Southern settlers
in Oregon of establishing slavery there as soon
as they can induce majority of the people to
consent to State organization. But tor the
Wilmot Proyiso, which was incorporated into
the Territorial Act, these men would now
claim the right, under the new-iangled doc
trine of the Buchanan party that the Consti
tuition tolerates and protects slavery in the
Territories, to hold slaves in Oregon and the
influence of Government would be used to
support the claim.
We lesrn that the failure of the attempt to
organizea State Government was in part ow-
ing to the fact that the leading schemers were
known to have their plans perfected for max
ing Oregon a slave State. They have not
abandoned their purpose, but are necessarily
obliged to postpone it until the present Indian
difficulties are settled

The Overland Route to Kovxo.


| Inquiry is often made in regard to the Iowa
route to Kanzas. The following appears to be
| the best information yet attained -
1t Is we'll known that Iowa City is the most
westerly point yet accessible by railroad The
following is an extract from circular of the Iowa
hanzas Committee dated July A. in regard to
the route beyond =
Leaving Iowa City, proceed to Sgourney,
thence to Oskaloosa, thence to Indianola.
thence to Sidney, and to Quincy in fremont
county, Iowa, on the Missouri river eighty miles
from Topeka, the capital of Kanzas. An agent
has been through this State by this route, and the
citizens in each of the aforesaid towns have ap.
pointed active committees. Ihe inhabitants on
this line will do all in their power to assist emf
grants. The distance from Iowa City to Sidney,
on the Missouri River, is 800 miles, and the cost
of conveying passengers will be about S25. The
Western Stage Company have formed new
line of coaches, and will put on all the stock
cessary for the accommodation of every emigrant
who may me. This can positively be relied on
You will at once that this must be general
and concerted effort, the project will fail, and
each body of emigrants be left to their own guild
ance."
A letter, dated July IA, from Mr. F. A. Hunt of
st. Louis states that he has just returned from
exploration of the Kanzas portion of the
route, undertaken at the request of Gen. Lane
and others. He says -
The route from Iowa City is nearly direct
line to Sidney, which is fourteen miles from Ne
braska City Tor old Fort Kearney,) where they
have good hand ferry-boat Thence nearly
South to Topeka. about ITO miles, crossing Little
and Big Nemaha and Grasshopper rivers, passing
through as beautiful country as ever man saw,
there being many excellent locations for Eastern
colonies with sufficient timber stone, coal run
ming and spring water. The average time from
Chicago to Topeka need not be more than nine
days Twelve men, with only about 40 lbs. of
personal baggage, each, can travel with one
team of two horses, and carry camping fxngs
and provisions to sustain them ON the journey,
each walking part of the way, the same that they
would be obliged to do by stage.
There is immediate need of two good and
true men to open a receiving and forwarding
house, with boarding house or hotel at Nebras.

Lines Suggested by the death of Mrs Z. E.

Through Won brown and aged wood
Saffron light now streameth,
Der its dead, sepulcnred brood,
Springs bright face now gIeameth.
"Wail no more thy persisted offspring,
Cease thy requiem, sad blast!
To thy silent halls bring
Voices sweeter than the past,
Glad summer ever, ever knew
In returning sky y-Iark's song,
AS il dances through the blue,
Or floats in ecstasy along.
Aye sweeter thar lis south-wind tone
When softencd to he flowers,
1t wooes the maiden violet, lone,
Among rough, rock-ribbed bowers.
Nor bird, nor breeze, nor blossom mourn,
Ref Forest for thy children dead
In loyelier life, to thee return
AS o'er their russet graves tread.
Through thy vast, leai-roofed halls they
come
To fill thy home with smiles and song,
Till thou forgct'st thy winters gloom,
Or only weep',t to'ye dreamed SO long !"
"Pass on, bright Spring | own tiny voice +;
To repeat the echo, Hope will stay:
Go bid The saddened world rejoice,
And wipe its wintry tears away!
For flowers have closcd-haye turned to
dust,
That fond hearts wait to welcome back
And birds of song so loved, they must
Come home, along thy shining track.
TO make summer gain, where still
Death binds double winter fast:
No sunshine can their spirits fill,
No music, till His reign is past"
"Alas beyond this forest glade,
Hope journeys not with me
Outside that mound my steps are stayed,
Its prisoncd flower cannot free
For Death and Hope no truce e'sr make
On fields where they have warred so long ;
Aboye,-where He no spoiIs car take.
Hope sings a couQueror's song.
For WE reign there, in SUMMER years,
And Death shall perish, and this flower
Smile DER His grave,-its dew Of tears
Wiped off by Jesus love and power"

ERATE ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY
A most desperate attempt at robbery was
made about midnight on Monday last, al
the house of Mr.. Owen Huff, on High
street, near the railroad depot. The rob
ber succeeded in obtaining an entrance
through Tie window into a bedroom oc-
cupled by TWO ladies'. One Of the ladies'
was awakened by the scoundrgl passing
his hand over her face, when she saw hlrn
by the light of the moon attempt to raise
up her pillow, under which was deposited
valuable gold watch. She Immediately
seized him, and endeavored 10 scream, but
the william choked her until she was un-
able to utter sound. Being strong and
powerful woman, size held on to him
IN spite Of his attempts TO escape, Until
they both got near the window, when he
GOT loose. and as he Jumped size dealt him
violent blow with a chair. knocking him
as well as tie lower sash, into the yard
below. The robber succeeded in making
his escape, but without obtaining any
booty. Columbus (O) Journal.

much difficulty unlil within mile oi

Islrncled very ingenious hlt!e house out

there she spent the first night of camp

abandoning all idea of ever reaching home,
she stopped and agaln built her weed

signed herself to her fate, and il came
well nigh being her last resting place up
on earth. SIC rem med in this slluaios
