MINNESOTA SENAToRs.-It is generally
believed that Mr.. Rice, the late Delegate,
will be one of the two new Senators from
the anticipated State of Minnesota, and
that the contest for the other senatorship
will be between Gen Shields and ex-Goy-
enor German.

NAVAL Courts OF INoUIRY.-0ne ofthsR
two courts, which have just been ordered,
is to assemble in Washington on Monday
next. 1t will consist of Captains Wm. ",
Mexican, John Pope, and G. j. Van BFunt
and Charles Albert, Esq, of Washington,
as judge advocate. Capt. II. A. Adams
has been ordered to the court now 10 ses
sion, vice Com. Stringham, detached
The statement that the order Of the cases
to be investigated is to be changed is said
to 5e incorrect. Each one will be taken
up in order of application without reference
to classification.
1t is stated that the court has reported
the case of Lit. Pennington, dropped By
decision of the late board, with a.rtcun-
mendation that he be restored, but With
an indefinite furlough or leave Of absencs.
The decision, however, can hardly yet b
known, as the court is required by law .
lay its opinion in each case before the
President and Secretary of the Mary, who's
duty it is to approve or reject it. There
is no official announcement as yet that tbs
has been done, and until then oil Is mere
conjecture.

No FALLING OFF IN THE EXPORT OF ca,
We copy the following form the Pr.
Current, setting forth the fact that tbs,.
has been scarcely any falling of in the i,
ports of gold from this port. 1t will 90
great way towards reassuring the ns,i.
stricken Wall-street fnanciers, but Al n.
same time we would advise them to eurt,;I
as much as possible, for the reason thai i
the nature Of things there must be for a.
future aconsiderable falling Of eyerV vss,
We will before long produce almost ev.U.
thing that we need, and it is scarcely mn.
bable that we will continue to shin soa
for nothing.
The accounts from the mines coptinue
very favorable, and whatever fears nav b
entertained on the Atlantic board Of a a.
crease in the yield of the precious metal h
California, we on this side are satisfied that
they are not only unfounded, but that h
reality we are producing more gold at pres.
ent than ever before. The statement n
the New York Herald that we were dr
millions short of our exports last rear,
wants revision in its facts, the correct a.
count being as follows:
Exports Of treasure from San Francisco
for first four moRths Of 1856. ..,. .$ll 52g37s %
Same time in 1851 1.................. n,460oN 70
Decrease in 1857 857..................... ti9Sli s.
Which is of course O mere bagat1lk. On
the other hand, we can point as evidences
of the Weld of our mines to the permanent
improvements going on all over the eoun
try,-the brick buildings going up 10 ths
mining towns, the quartz mills erected
the new bitches cut and the new fumes
built. These are all done with mining
capital, the amount contributed By San
Francisco and the mercantile community
generally being so triding as hardly to
deserve mention. The taste for jeWelrJ,n
to which the Herald alludes, is developed
in favor of jewels of rather q substantial
character.

The EIectIon IN Oregon ms Results.

Although, thus far, our returns are very
incomplete and to some considerable extent
dependent upon rumor, enough is certainly
known to warrant us in assuring our read
ers that Gen. Lane, the Democratic nominee
for Delegate to Congress, is reelected by a
majority even greater than that of 1856
that the Convention question has carried
almost without opposition-that to the
Constitutional Convention we have elected
an overwhelming Democratic majority, and
that the next Legislative Assembly is also
Democratic. The people of Oregon have
spoken, and their voice, condemning as it
does the chaotic elements of Black Repub-
lcanism-at this early hour, gives welcome
prcsage Of what remains to be effected,
which with their contemplated thorough
organization" the egro-worShippers shall
hoist her2 in Oregon their disunion banner
inscribed with but sixteen stars representing
alone the free States of our confederation.
In this result rests for long years to come
unmistakable evidence Of the fact that If
the Democracy Of Oregon remain true to
themselves, to the Constitution, and to the
great fundamental principles of the Demo
cratic party, Oregon must continue to be
as her people have so nobly declared her
in this election Democratic to the core"
1t is decided that our State Constitution
shall he framed by Democratic hands, and
now, with purely Democratic Constitution
we are destined to enter upon our State
sovereignty not only under Democratic
auspices, but with every assurance that a
vast and overwhelming majority of our
peope, appreciating the blessings of our
glorious Union, will never, in all time to
come, aid, or directly or remotely sanction
the schemes of any political organization
whose purposes comprehend the disturban-
ces Of the peace and harmony of the Union.
The true sentiment Of our people is read in
the language of the lamented hero Of the
Hermitage-"THE UYIoN-IT MUST AND
SHALL BE RvEDp-PortLaad Times
June 1871.
The Times of the same date also gives
the following, which we here insert. There
are some three or four counties yet to hear
from, but these will not materially change
the result, LANES majority may therefore
be safely be put down at 25OO So far as
heard from his majority, as will be seen by
the annexed table, as 2l95. Glory enough
for one day. Hurrah for LANE and the
gallant democracy Of Oregon!
The Convention question carried by an
overwhelming majoriiy-scarcely any op-
position. The majority of the, members
elected to frame State Constitution are
of the democratic order, and that instru.
ment may therefore be expected to be
moulded in accordance with the usages ol
our party.
The Legislature is also democratic by a
handsome majority. When full and com.
plete returns shall have been received, we
will lay the same before our readers.
The majorities for Lane and Lawson, SO
far as heard from, up to the present, are
as follows.

PRESIDENT BUCHANAN AND HIS WIG Sup.
PoRTERs.-The three instances in which
President Buchanan has rewarded his ma
tional Wing supporters, says an Eastern
exchange, are: James B. Clay, appoin-
ted to the mission in Berlin, which, howey-
er, he declined; William B. Reed, appoint
ed Minister to China; and Mr.. Reucher, Of
North Carolina, appointed Governor ol
New Mexico. Mr. Reucher had served as
a Wing member of Congress. President
Buchanan is sensible that he owes bis
election not entirely to the Democratic
party, but in a large degree to the conser-
vative, Union-loving, patriotic men of both
the old parties.

JOHN ORvIs WATERMAN has, according to
the Oregon Times Of late date, retired
from the editorial control of that paper.

WAsHoUeAL, June 5th, 1857.


To The Editors Of The Pioneer am Democrat:
We held our precinct mee ing April
25th to elect delegates to the county con-
vention, in which meeting the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
"Resolred, That the members of this con
vention, while we have our own personal
preferences, will support and use our inau-
ence to elect whoever may he n minated as
Delegate to Congress by the Territorial
con\ ention."
You will see by this resolution that the
Democracy of Washongal believe in the
old Democratic doctrine of applying the
axe to the root Of the tree, or ia other
words, of starting right and then continu-
ing in the same straightforward course
the only one that will surely lead to sue
cess.
Our precinct meeting came of on Satur-
day, May 30th, to elect delegates to the
county convention which meets on Satur-
day the 7th. OF their action you will be
advised at the earliest moment. After the
delegates were elected, the Democratic
platform of the Territorial convention was
adopted without q dissenting voice The
feelings and actions of the members of the
convention were harmonious all appa-
rently satisfied with the principles of the
Democratic party, and more especially of
our candidate, Gov. l. |. STEVENS, believ-
ing, as we do, that he will carry out the
principles of the Democratic platform to
the letter.
1t was with much satisfaction heard of
the large majority received by Governor
Stevens upon the first balloi, showing quite
u different feeling towards the Governor
