THE FUNNY DuTCMMAN.-Thc Cnron-
icle man at Vancouver ia funny fel-
low, and withal an exceedingly inge-
NOUS one. To show his knowledge
of the classics" lie relates an anecdotc
and applies the "morial' to US. Who
will not admire such sugacity and wis
dom! BY this means he demonstrates
to us the fact that although he may
have some "soft spots" on his lager
soaked Uranium, that he is not behind
the age in self esteem. As specimen
of his wit, we quote the following bril-
liant sally which he made in reply to
an article in the OrcgoHiaa calling him
a bcer-keg": 1--WE were never tempt
ed to get drunk but once aud that was
when we saw the junior editor Of the
Orrgontan lying drunk on the side
walk! Funny; isn't it!

Prom the course Of seton adopted BY
Gen. Fremont. it appears ~ If the Sc.

relentingly in favor Of the right, %
their leaders have done, since the com.

and retslliatOry measures, to wipe out
Disunionism. In order to do this e6ec-
tually. he has brought to bear the terri
ble enginery If martial law.
OfcUurse this act has provoked the
plaintive howls Of the sympathizers
throughout the country. 1t is but ma
tnral for them do so; because their nc
tive acc"mp!iccs in treason are about
to get their deserts.
The reader should recollect. that pre-
vious to resorting to extreme measures,
the Disunionists had levied ARMED for
ces against the United States, invited
the assistance through the traitor
Jackson-oi the Confederate traitors.
burnt bridges, tore mp railroads, fired
on Union troops which were passing
through the State under orders from
the Federal Government, and in addi-
tion to thousand other atr,cious acts
of treason, had fought two general nc
tions with the United States troops
with armed corps Of domestic traitors,
and the bands "f dcsperadoes from the
South. In the face of all these things.
the sympathizers here arc displeased ut
the action OF the Government thus Civ
ing another proof that their hearts not
with the Union cause.
The Disnnicnists of Missouri have
dared the dread arbitriment of the
sword; They have taken up arms to
tear down the fabric of the Union; they
have acted Extensively from the start,
and now the day of reconing is ut hand
they are about to be crushed. Seventy
Thousand Union trOops-a large portion
of them citizens of Missouri-march-
ing to the emusic of the Union," are on
her soil to protect the loyal and to kill
the disloyal. This army of the gallant
sons Of the Northwest is composed of
the best men Of that section lovers of
law and order, the best friends of Mis-
souri,. They are the offspring of the
most daring aud hardy of all the older
states,-the chivalry Of forest and plain.
Before their patriotic ranks the troops
of Hardee and McCulloch will bc scat
tered like chaff before the wind.
The sympathetic dodgers here, find
great fault with the interference with
Gov. Candles functions, and the con-
tiscation of slave property. Gov. Gam
BILE being patriot, has undoubtedly
General Fremont's course;
and traitorous owners OF negroes have
to abide the consequences of their own
actions. Those who own negroes
protected by the Constitution -
must either support fine Union cause,
or all their Notwithstanding ne.
groes-will be taken from them.-Or-

Terrible Tragedy on the Bark Czarina.

The New York Times says: The
most shocking tragedy which has oc-
cured on shipboard for a long time is

past 8 A. NJ, Cotter first officer. took an
axe aud proceeded to the Captains
room, and killed him while asleep in
his berth, and on the same day he
killed the second mate and one of the
seamen; that no then tried to kill tie
steward, but tho steward killed him.
One of the seamen stated to Capt. Stet-
son that the Carpenter struck the mate
with u top-maul, and he died in coMse-
quence and was buried. The crew were
apparently NIL foreigners, and were
much excited. Put on board of her
Levitt, first officer of the b. D. Metcalf
