thuiastic Celebration,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The admis-
sion of Oregon into the Union was cele-
brated lastnight by large concourse of
citizens, who, with the Marine Band,
serenaded the distinguished friends of
the measure, including Gen. Lane, Sen
ator Grea, Representatives Nichols,
Scott, Ster,ens, Letcher, Thayer, Comins,
Stevenson md Orr, nearly all of whom
delivered bief speeches eulogistic of the
political event. The President, in re-
Spouse to repeated calls, appeared at
window of tie White House. He said
he sincerely congratulated them upon the
advent of arother sovereign State into
the glorious confederacy of Republics,
State, too. situated on the very shores
of the Pacife, favored with fine climate
and exubernt soil, and filled with tried
and noble democrats.
The elevation of Gen. Lane, who has
proved himself a gallant soldier in war,
and true statesman in peace, was also
a fit subject for rejoicing; it was an hon

to bring this new State into the Union

our country, and towards alone feared

other part of TIE city, declared tina

ssT We take the following from the
correspondence Of the n. Y. Courier and
Enquirer:
"Tbe Report of the Commissioners
on the Oregon and Washington Indian
War Debt has been printed. 1t is adj
mitted to be partial and imperfect, but
such as it is, it presents very striking
view of Indian wars in their financial de-

ritory to 81 ,48l ,475; total 50, 92G, 424.
The war continued from about the be-
ginning of January, 1855, until October,
1856.
The highest number Of men in the
service of Oregon Territory at any one
time was 1916, and the average expense
or charge for each days service was SILL
81 per man. Some men were paid in
three or four capacities, as officers or pri-
Yates, as mechanics and teamsters, and
even as physicians. One private is re.

THE THIRTY MILLION PRoJECT.-
The New York Times offers the follow
ing explanation of Mr.. Slidelps scheme:
An impulse stronger and more imme-
date than the remote suggestions of pr
iitical ambition now appears to accoun
for the Congressional agitation. The bill
granting the President control of thirty
millions of the public money is meas
ure Of speculation, not of politics. The
funds thus placed at the discretion of the
chief magistrate, who now stands as his
New York organ confesses, almost alone
looking about him in vain for party ARE
to be used, not towards the purchase of
Cuba, but simply to set on foot a grand
scheme for buying up Spanish bonds in
Europe at their present rate of depreci-
alton, and raising their market value by
forcing the Spanish Government to pay
them in full or surrender Cuba as an equiv
alent. In order to reconcile the public
mind Of America to this notable transac-
ton, fuads will be freely used, and topi-
cal applications of nitrate of silver made
with Presidential probang to the vocal

LECoMPToN AND THE TARIFF. Col.
Forney has the following sharp comments
on the President, in speaking of the pres,
ent position of the Pennsylvania Demo-
Gratis in Congress on the tariff question
Not one of them accepted Lecomp-
ton save under mental or public pro-
test, and we can we'll imagine how anxious
they are to go with the people of their
State on any question. The President
led them in the one case to overthrow
They led him the other, but they cannot
save him. Il he were half as resolute
now that he is right, as when he was no
toriously wrong, his tariff policy, ike his
Kansas policy, would be sustained by his
Cabinet, and, unlike that policy, it would
not be disaster but success. But the
President lost his courage on Kansas, be-
fore the thunder of few Southern fac
tionists, and he has more left for Penn
sylyania. If we triumph in Washington,
it must be with the heavy hand of his
Ca binet against US.
