Destruction at Oregon City and E.ynn
CITY.

The willamette Valley like our own Sac
rsmeuto Valley, has suffered terribly 10y
floods. The Oregonjan of Decembe 7th
SAYS:
We are Indebted to F b. Rislev for the
following imformotion from Oregon City
from which place he arrived last evening.
lie crossed the river at Linn City, aud came
down on horseback
The water had been four feet deep in
Main street, Oregon City; and most Of the
frame storehouses had been swept from their
foundations, and but one store was opened
yesterday for trade in the city. Gov. Aber
nethv'S metal covered storehouse fell down
and is in ruins. We understand that many
more houses have been carried away from
Oregon City than we had supposed; but we
cannot state the number of the occupants or
proprietors Great distress exists in the
city for breadatutfs, and it is hoped that the
first boat which goes up will carry supply.
AL the houses IN Linn city hage been car
ried array, except two houses which were
near the mountain. Houses were seen 90
ing over the Falls during two or three
nights, with lights still burning in them.
Mr.. Risley reports that the day before
yesterday small side, wheel boat [the name
of which he had forgotten with two men
on board passed over the falls with. great
rapdity.
He also reports the arrival of the steamer
Onmord, on the day before yesterday, (he
steamer for which our people felt so much
anxiety) The captain reports that he pick
ed up on his passage down, some 40 persons
who he took from trees and house tops
where they had climed for safety.
The account that the breakwater is de-
stroyed is true. 1t viii be a total loss. The
frame of the warehouses is standing; but
the wealh boarding and contents of it
We're washed away.
The stage driver at Oregon City says the
stage will not be able to run for four weeks
on account Of the loss of bridges
Dr. Newall reports that he has informa-
tlon of a great destruction of property and
buildings at Campoeg.
Heavy rains had fallen in all parts of
Oregon and Washington Territory. The
Nisqually bridge was swept away by a flood
on the morning of December 4th and in
consequence the communication between
Stecoon and Olympia was temporarily in
terrupted- Full accounts however, have not
reached us of tbs damage sustained.

Wedding out the Traitors.

1t has unquestionaby been, ever since tlic
commencement of the war, one Of the most sc.
rious fears of the people, that their cause, es-
pecialy at the Capital, was destined to be be-
trayed and eventually injured, if not wholly
defeated, by the secret intrigues of traitors /;
whatever may have been affirmed Of the safety
Of Washington, been by any means fully re-
lieved. One of the most reliable of the Wash
lngton letter-writers estimates tho number of
secessonists still remaining in that city to be
at least one thousand Now how much doubt
can there he, that every one Of this dangerous
and formidable band would commit, with safe
opportunity acts of treason which would prove
more or less fatal to the safety of the city p
Another letter writer, last week, informed us
that two Virg mia spies, who were generally
known to be such, had been several days in the
city, inspecting the defenses, and passing about
freely in every direction. And yet, for rea
,Dns which the people do not comprehend, all
these are suffered to remain unmolested. Can
she Country look on their Capital as SAFE
while such things are permitted? Who knows
not that the most dangerous weakness of be-
leagured city ever consists in the treason it har
bors within its walls, or the line of its deten-
SEES? Should this one thousand of would-be
traitors, acting in concert with the enemy with
out, watching good chance to begin the at
tack find means of carrying their covert de-
signs of aiding the invaders, into effect, no four
regiments of troops, probably, could make
good the safety of the city against the insidi-
Gus danger. What deposits of gunpowder may
have been made in mines secretly dug, to be in
readiness for blowing up the public buildings
by this dangerous crew, cannot certainly be
known and what in the hustle and confu-
sim of sudden alarm of an attack, what
means they might find Of giving an aid to the
enemy which might be tho means of turning
the scale of battle, by spiking important bate
ries, or destroying the force of the powder ia
loaded cannon, by introducing water, or by
other no less dangerous measures, must all be
left 10. painful conjecture. ......

tutas, no doubt, one of the greatest embarrass-

The Probable Fate Of the Secession Lesde rs

Written history gives one, and scarcely but
ohe, coohspiic;iuous example Of the banded polit-
ical leaders Of country making long and sys-
teimliatic attempt to demoralize a whole people
for the purpose of ehecting their selfish objects.
That abhorent example, which has always made
a black and bloody leaf on the annals of the
nation exhibiting it, is seen in the acts and
teachings Of the Jacobin leaders of the French
revolution Of 1890. The Marats and Robes
pieres Of that day having, by their bold mis-
representations and studied appeals to the worst
passions and prejudices of the ignorant popu-
lace, raised tbem to the pitch of frenzy which
those talented but reckless demagogues consid-
cred necessary to become fit instruments to car
ry out their wicked designs, soon found that
they had educated mob for their own destruc-
ton. Marat found his Charlotte Corday, and
Robespicre persisted by the hands Of an onragcd
people Such is thu noted example of written
history But the yet unwrittcn history Of our
own country is now presenting another in the de-
signs and doings of the Yanceys ard jeff Daviscs
of the South who have already run through half
the parall of heir French prototypes, and who,
we confidently predict, ate d oned to find it
completed in their own speedy fall. They too, for
the purposes of their reckless ambition, have
educated a mob which they cannot much longer
control. The want, destitution and ruin which
will now soon fail on the deceived aud lnisguid-
ed masses Of tho South, must inevitably lead to
inquiry into the true causes of the universal
calamity, and as inevitably to the discovery of
the stppendous deception that has been prac-
tised upon thcm fer no other purpose but to
subscrve tho unhalIowed ambition of their po-
litical leaders. And the almost certain result
will be, the starting Of counter revolutions in
the South which will speedily take the work of
the North off their hands. And then those Ma
rats and Robespiercs of the wickedly deceived
South, will find the whole concentrated fury of
all the base passions they have enkindled turned
on their own justly deserving heads and like
the Action of the ancient fable, they will be de-
veured by their OWE dogs.
