From the Boston Journal.
Letter from Oregon.

PORTLAND, Oregon, Sept. %, 1859.
To the Editor Of the Boston Journal:
am informed that Mr.. Lansing Stout,
our Representative to Congress, Oh e
having received the certificate of electioD)
is taking no pains to prove the legality
of his election, on the ground that Mr..
Logan, the contestant, has never notified
hIms to appear and take testimony with
him in the case, and he intends to go to
Washington without any rebutting evil
dence. Whether it is fact that he has
never thus been notified, or whether it is
necessary or not, ] cannot say, Logan is
busy collecting his proofs, and win un.
doubtedly make strong case.
Superintendent Geary has but just go
his S264,000 through the circumlocutior
office, and has commenced disbursins
drafts.
Ex-Congressman Grover (Anti-Lane,
and Ex-Governor Curry, ditto, are stump
ing the State, in view of the Senatorial
contest to come off this winter. If Their,
should be no reconciliation between th
two wings of the Democratic party
which does not now seem at all pTobabl
before the election of United State
Senator, we may replace MIR. DeIazo
I Smith with a good Republican til
chances are favorable, to say the least
So mote it be.
Yours, &c,

GERRIT SMITH AND BRowN.-The
Syracuse Journal learns from a gentle
man who has conyersed with Gerrit
Smith in regard to the trouble at Harper's
Ferry, that he was in no way identified
with or privy to Browns scheme. His
explanation of the matter is this:
Two years ago Mr.. Smith, in order
to help the free State movement in Kan
sas, gave Brown note Of about $500,
against man then in Kansas. Brown
could not collect the note; so he returned
it to Mr. Smith, who agreed to give him
at some future time, cash 10 the amount
Of the note. After that he lost sight OF
Brown until about the first of June last,
when he received letter requesting him
TO send draft for certain amount, SI00
we think, payable to the order of another
party. Mr.. Smith, in compliance with
the request and his former promise
promptly forwarded the draft, supposine
it was a bona fide firm to whom it wa.
addressed. DIR. Smith says distinctly
that he had no knowledge or tine leas
suspicion that Brown was engaged II
] planning an instruction.

Great Yield of Good Wheat.
OBSERVER.

Mr.. EDITOR Il have raised this
season " bushels of wheat on two acres
and % rods, making 80 1928 bushels
per acres. / had two pieces, one piece
of one acre and IS rods, on which SOW
ed three bushels of the "Scotch Fife"
wheat; had 50 bushels which is nearly
81 bushels per acre. One acre of this
piece was where / raised corn last year I;
the rem aiming 6S rods was sward lard,
sown to oats last year the wheat was
much smaller growth, than on the corn
ground. / regret that ] did not keep it
separate, for / have no doubt but 40
bushels of the 50 bushels, grew on the
acre of corn land. TIE other piece of
III rods, sowed one and three-fourth
bushels of the g China Wheat" on ground
rather lightly MANFRED, and planted to
potatoes last year; had % bushels, which
is trihe over 81 bushels to the acre
The China Wheat" was sown on the
4th day of May, the " Scotch Fife" on
the 9Th.
With this statement l send you one
bushel of "Scotch Fife" wheat, fol
which you may send me the Standard as
long as you please. If you wish to judge
of the quality, get it ground at the
g Glover FIGURING MILL" and think yor
will find it as nice as any -four man ufact
ured from western wheat. The whea
was threshed by Partridge & Bush, a
the rate of over one hundred bushels pc
day. They are doing up the business o
threshing in the neighborhood in 81
workman-like manner" 1t may be wei
to say, that the seed of this wheat, wa
brought from the west, BY the " Mill Co.
of this town. If any man has beat thi

The Pottawatamies were formerly a
warlike and powerful nation, and carried
on numerous wars with the whites and
surrounding tribes.
Large numbers of them we're engaged
in the memorable battle of Tippecanoe,
under the command of the famous Pro-
phet, brother to Tecumseh. Tecumseh
and the Prophet were Sbawnees by
birth, but were adopted by Pottawata-
mics in early childhood. As wise and
prudent chief, and brave and generous
warrior Tecumseh stands second only to
King Phillip in the history of Indian
character, while the Prophet, by his
visions aud prophecies, held an influence
over his tribe which IS seldom acquired
by mortals.
Allow me here to correct a statement
once made by me in letter to the Jour
nal, that Black Hawk was Pottawdta,
mic. The Pottawatsmies were some
times engaged under lin in some of hi:
wars but he was himself, | believe, 6
Sac.
As there is a vast deal of speculation
among historians, as to the origin of the
Indians, l will give you an interesting
statement made to me by Hon. Rober
Wilson of Louisville who has been TO
many years resident among the Pot
tawatamies, which some may cOnslde
throws light upon this question. Th
statement is tbs, that several years ag
an old Indian medicine man, gave t
Mr.. Judge 3ursaw small packag
tightly sewed up in leather wrapper
which be sad had been handed dow
through the amily for many generations
as a sacred relic. Mr.. B. undid til
package, and found carefully inclosed i
various coverings of cloth and buck-skiI
: an old parchment of vellum, on whic
was written in Hebrew, The Lord
prayer. When and how such writin
a in the Hebrew language came into tt
+. family Of the old medicine man, is, at
: of course ever will be mystery. III
: W. thinks that it might have been drol
d ped by some of the early MISSIONARY
who made visits to some of the trib
nearly four hundred years ago, but tn
e is simply conjecture. l can vouch tn
+ the statement as given is true, for N
= W. saw the package himself.

Our Legislature.

Our readers will see that after so long
a time, the Legislature have got before
them some important subjects for consId-
Grafton. The matter Of changing the
method of paying county officers TO sala-
ries instead Of fees, is one that needs
thoroughly looking into, and If ii meets
with the consideration its importance de-
mands Il must add something to the
length Of the session. ii there has been
such diversity in the rates of charging
by different officers and in different coun-
ties, and if there has been as much over
charging as is represented, something
certainly, ought to be done. 1t is rep
resented that by giving the States At
torneys the salaries proposed in the bills
before the Legislature about $4,000 will
be saved to the State annually, and yet
these salaries are undoubtedly sufficient
10 secure GOnltAths anu "N'S AiSi' ~
these offices. That Of our own county
considering its exposure on the border oil
foreign government, We think, ought &c
be raised, and 10 doubt the wisdom o.
the Legislature will so decide before the
bill is finally passed. The method o
raising the money from Probate business
as proposed in the bill, is much more
equal and just than the present method
and we hope the details will be so ar
ranged as TO make it all right and tina
such "a bill will become law. No bill
providing salaries for county clerks hs'
been introduced at our last advices, bu
We see no good reason why this als'
should not be managed in the same way
Some change is talked of in the judiciar.

Mr.. EDITOR,-I noticed In the last
of the Standard an account
of the town of Salem-its location,
&c. You stated that there were
only forty votes cast, which may
have been the case but sir, there is
nearly an hundred voters in town,
all republicans. You stated that
there was no qualified justice of the
peace, which is a mistake, there be-
ing four that are qualified in every
respect. One of the four has been
a justice of the peace for thirty six
years, and has qualified every year.
No clergyman, you say; another
mistake. John Wilson has been a
resident of Salem for thirty years
and a preacher of the Free Will
Baptist persuasion. No mill you
say; there is a saw mill owned by
Mr.. F. Blake, which has been bull
several years. Neither mill die
you say? Besides Blake's there il
any amount Of tanning mills in goot
trim and running order. No church
This is true, but there are meeting
in some of the school houses ever,
sabbath.
The town of Salem has not tn,
advantage of being located in wha
is known as a geographical centr'
like rasburgh, for instance. TIL
idea that a person would have fron
reading your article is that the tow
of Salem lays back from everybod
like Utah, without any roads o
conveniences, or church privilege;
or citizens that will compare wit
I other towns. / take this occasio
merely to inform you that the tow
of Salem is not so isoloted as yo
imagine.
