dairy Commission, is in Washington,
the President to permit
him to withdraw his resignation. It 10
to be hoped, for the sake Of the service,
that he will be denied. His is an NJ.
gravated case. He has always had easy
places and extra pay. When last leav-
ing this vicinity, he left with . relative o
resignation, to be handed to the De-
partment in a certain event. In the
week when Washington was threatened,
the relative assumed the time had mr.
rived contemplated by Col. Emory
when he left his resignation, aud 90 It
was filed. # the President expects
loyal men to furnish men, money and
patriots to fight the battles of the Un-
ion, he will never consent to the rcstor-
alton of any man, who, like Emory, de-
serted the Government in its hour Of
ileed.- Wash. Cor. ~ Y. Times.
Government has ordered all letters
designed for the seeded States, to be
sent to Washington as dead lettars.
Those already examined are likely to
give great trouble to gentlemen who
have been protesting to be strong for
the Union, while at heart they are
traitors. Many letters, it is thought,
from the Pacific coast are among these
dead letters, and we will Tot be sur
prised to hear Of some secessionists
making arrangements to leave the
country.-Orcgonian. 5ssa

zete says: IT, during the Mexican war,
when we had control of all the powder
manufactures in the country, and ac-
cess to the world besides, powder ad-
vanced to one dollar a pound, how
much will it be worth with most OF the
manufactures in the hands Of our enc.
mics at home, and no access to the
markets of the world. Every grain of
powder should be preserved us if it
were gold.
Louis Napoleon has got an eye on
England, and before he loses sight of
her he means to wipe out Waterloo.
He said to citizen ofthe United States:
"When you return to the United
States, tell tho people I am heartily
with them, and if any one Of the great
powers recognize the rebels, I will give
my hearty support to the present Gov
ernment, and against any interference"
This was understood to mean England.

shameful concession to armed rebellion,
but without effect. aaf +si3 Tns
"A great many Southerners arc
