OREGON ELEcrIoN.--By the steamer Norther'

gress, which took place June 9th, was very
close between Stout and Logan, and the result
was involved in doubt. The msjorities in ell

is declared elected, that his seat will be con-

cratic majority Of l25 votes, and in case II
gives the same majority this year, Stout will
come out about rs votes ahead. But the cleo
tion last year is no criterion to Judge Of the
vote this year; and in case there was slight
change in Curry county. as is probable, Logan
will have small majority. The passengers BY

Portland, were confident of the election Of their

few weeks from the newspapers. don't think that

has left this city in great rage, and sails for Cali

State Offices and censure the appointments that have
been made. 1t is bold game, m which he loses

Write to our friends in the county and place before

The Battle OF Magenta.

On our nrst page will be found a few details
Of the battle of Magenta, which were received
from French sources. The Austrian accounts
Of the battle differ widely from the French and
Sandman. They state that their loss did not
exceed 1900, and that the loss Of the allies, in
killed aud wounded was not less than 81 900.
Taking oil the accounts received. it would ap-
victory, although the losses on both sides were
probably not far from equal. But the Austr-
ans evacuated Milan and retreated to their
strongholds east Of the river AIDA, and the
city was Immediately occupied by the allies.
Milan is the capital of Lombardy, and the pos
session of the city will give the allies an impor-
tant advantage during the remainder of the
campaign. It appears that the population
Of Milan declared for Victor Emanuel as
soon as the Austrians had len the city, and
on the 9th Of June he issued a proclamation, as
King Of Lombardy, to the people. In the proc
lamation, he tells the people that their inde-
pendence has been gained, and will be secured;
promises them liberal government, and calls
on the people Of Lombardy to join the allies on
the battle field and assist in driving the Aus
trians forever out of Italy.
During the retreat from Magenta the Aus
trians were pursued by the allies, and when at
Malegnano an engagement took place in which
the Austrians lost 1900 killed and 1900 prison.
ers. The battle lasted nine hours, when both
armies ceased operations. After the engage
ment the Austrians continued their retreat to
Lodi on the AIDA river, where they had sta
toned themselves. At the latest advices the
allies were advancing and another general en-
gagement Was expected.
Accounts from Vienna state that the news of
the battles of Magenta and Malegnano had
stunned the whole population Of the capital.
Old soldiers we're indignant that the finest ar
my Austria ever possessed should be entrusted
to such bungler as Gen. Gyulai. The Aus
trian army retreated in good order, and were
continually receiving reinforcements from the
reserve corps The troops, far from feeling
discouraged at the result Of Magenta, were in
excellent spirits, and anxious for q decisive
battle. The allies will doubtless crafty them
in this respect before the close of the campaign.
All accounts agree that the glory of Magenta
is to be ascribed to Gen. McMahon, who was
Immediately created Marshal Of France and
Duke Of Magenta as the prompt reward for his
services. The report that Marshal Canrobert
had been mortally wounded in the battle was
not correct.

Dreaarul Ae.sdaent.

A shocking and fatal accident occurred o.
Saturday evening At this place, By which on'
man lost his life, and another was seriously
mutilated and injured. A cannon had beer
procured to Gre on the arrival Of the processior
frem Grass Valley, with Nessrs. Broderick and
McKibbin, and four men, who perhaps were
but little acquainted with the business, were
engaged in firing IL. After firing two or three
rounds, 1t appears they put 10 cartridge

to whether the charge had gone of, aud com

was put in, and Barney Parker and Cornsliui
Murphy commenced ramming II home They
were standing ct the time in front Of the gun
and the cartridge had been ramned in about q
foot, when both charges went Of. Parker't
left arm was cut of below the elbow and shat
tered above his chin and under jaw horribly
mangled, and bis breast dresdfully burned BY
the powder. The thumb and three fingers on
Murphy's right hand were taken OF at the first
joints, and be was severely burned in the face
W. B. Garvey who was standing at the time
with his thumb on the vent, was thrown up sew
eral feet and came down astride the gun. He
had buokskin glove on his hand, which waa
nearly burned of, and he was slightly burned
on the neck aud breast. ThOs. Wilson, who
was standing near the muzzle with wad in
his hand, was thrown back several feet and
stunned by the concussion, but escaped without
injury.
The immediate cause Of the powder igniting
is not known. II is supposed, however, that
cotton string, which had been used to tie the
end Of the cartridge, had taken fire, and con-
iinued to barn until it came in contact with
and ignited the powder. The cannon had NOT
been fred enough to heat it.
Murphy and Parker were Immediately taken
to the county hospital. where they were attend
ed by Drs. Hunt, and everything was done that
could possibly alleviate their sufferings. Park

O'Clock, when death put period to bis misery.

Sunday afternoon, from the Methodist Church,
and his remains were followed to the grave by

among whom were Messrs. Broderick and Nc

Rights OF Nat uralized Citizens.

The administration has recently assumed o
position 10 regard to the rights Of naturalized
citizens, which has occasioned considerable
comment throughout the whole country. Ii
Is we'll known that tae despotic governments
of Europe claim what 10 called u "birth-right
allegiance" by which every subject born upon
their soil is required to serve certain time in
their armies. Many naturalized citizens Of the
United States, who left Europe in their infancy
are liable to this claim, and the administration
have informed the public, through Gen. Cass,
the Secretary Of State, that our government
will not interfere provided such persons volun-
tarily return TO their native land and are i'm
pressed into foreign service. /: has hereto
fore been the boast of liberal-minded men In
this country that naturalized citizens stood up
on the same footing as native born, and that
they were entitled to the same protection while
travelling in foreign lands. This was substan-
italy the doctrine held BY the administration
Of President Pierce, as shown by the letter OF
Mr.. Marcy to the Austrian Minister in the Kos
IL affair. which was so decidedly popular with
the people Of the United States. But 1t has
be en- left for Mr.. Buchanan's administration to
inaugurate different doctrine, and in sub
stance, to inform the European governments
that they can impress into their armies natural
ised citizens of the United States, who may re-
turn on Q visit to their native land. Few will
have the hardihood to return, under the cir
cumstances, during the term of the present sd-
ministration. The doctrine promulgated BY
Gen. Cass, will be peculiarly acceptable to the
despotic governments Of Europe, just at the
present time, when they are making every ef.
fort to oil the ranks Of their armies for The war
which is expected to become general through
out the continent.
