Slavery the Cause of Rebellion,

From Charles Sumner. late Speech
Parricldal hosts stand arrayed openly
against that paternal government to which
they owed loyalty protection and affection.
Never in history did rebellion assume such a
front. Call their numbers 10000 or 2OO,-
QUO what you willthey lar surpass any
armed forces ever before marshalled in rc.
belon; they are among the largest ever mar.
shal.cd in war.
And all this is in The name of slavery, and
Tor the sake Of slavery, and at the bidding Of
slavery. The prodigate favori,e of the Eng
Ilsh monarch-thc Duke of Buckingham
was rot more exclusively supreme, even ac.
cording to those cords by which be was ex.

Who rules the kingdom' The king.
W VINO rules the ling The duke.
The prevailing part here attributed to the
royal iavor'e belongs now to slavery, which
IN the rebel States is IA more than royaI f..
voritc.
VINO VINO rules The rebel States The President.
Who rules The President: Slavery.
who rules Slavery?
Inc latter question need not answer
nat all must sec-and nobody can deny
that slavery Is the ruling idea of the rebel.
hon. 1t Is slavery which marshals these
hosts and breathes into their embattled r,nls
Its own barharoas fire. 1t is slavery which
stamps ITS character alike upon officers and
men, 1t Is slavery which inspires all, from
'uc general to the trumpeter. 1t Is Iayerv
which speaks the word of command onJ
~hlch sounds in the morning drum. beat. Il
Is slavery which digs trenches and builds hos
tue forts. 1t is slavery which pitches it,
white tents and stations its sentries over
against the national capitol. 1t is slaverv
which sharpens the bayonet and casts tba hui
'et' which points the cannon and scatters ,to
SHELL blazing bursting with death. When1

Letter from Powder River.

AUBURN, July 4th, 1862.
EDS. STATESMAN / presume your readers will
be anxious to get the news from this country, and
| will endeavor to crafty them. Auburn is fast
building up, and will now vie with any mining
camp in the northern mines for useful improve
ments, considering its age. We have three store
buildings, and several more in progress; two sa-
looms, two blacksmith shops and one under cOl-
struction; three butcher shops, one boarding
house, and several dwelling houses Mr.. Pack
wood and company have sent for portable steam
saw-mill, which they are quite sangune will be
here and in operation in the course of two months
Lumber is now worth $50 per thousand feet !;
-four is worth $2S per hundred; bacon 30, and
beef % and 30 cents per h.; sugar 45c, coffee
60c per lb.; and other articles in the eating line
bring proportionate prices. Provisions are plenty
in market at present. Whisky rather plenty
judging from the debilitated appearance OF seve-
raj men now occupying, not bed OF down, but
bed of gravel along the sidewalk.
l wish to inform the people through your col
umns that though we are far distant from where
notional news is quickly obtained, our citizens
have sufficient patriotic feelings still left to cele
brate and regard the fourth day of July. At
clock this afternoon Mr. kirkpatrick was called
upon and delivered a impromptu speech to the
citizens. He referred them to the history OF our
republic; spoke to them in regard to our past
troubles, and our glorious reward in social happi-
ness and honor among nations He spoke of our
present troubles with considerable feeling, and
pictured the path of our victorious army march
ing to a speedy peace and happy reunting
of the common brotherhood of American citizens,
and then retired amidst vociferous cheering
Capt A. H. johnson, late of the United States
army, then addressed the citizens with much feel
ing. He mentioned the distressed condition of
his native State, Virgniaj spoke of his own
wounds and the manner by which he taken
prisoner and conveyed to Richmond prison, and
was then released upon bis parole of honor after
suffering many insults ana tortures. His remarks
created much feeling young and old seemed al
most moved to tears. He was followed by speeches
IRON several different citizens The speeches were
patriotic throughout
The richness of our mines will soon be dem
onstrated fact. Our bitches are now running full
with water. Claims are daily being opened with
increased prospects. That this is rich mining
camp is a settled fact with u.s. W. c. W.

ers if not for ,this matter alone, for his
wanton violation of his marital relations.
Beatty came here little more than a year
ago with something of reputation as a
gentleman. Upon this he for time held
the confidence Of the community; but his
conduct during the past two or three
months has forfeited him all right to an
honorable title, and he has left the place
despised, and with character no more re-
spectacle than himself-leaving his wife to
sell her household goods and keepsakes in
order to obtain means to take her to her
friends. We have written a page Of his
history; we would not write his epitaph.
The OregOniaa intimates that it will re-
fer to the matter ogain. We hope it will,
and give its readers some more of the
principal facts,

civilization and progress. Between the
heads of navigation of the Columbia and
Missouri rivers, there is a vast extent of
country rich in mineral and agricultural re-
sources, which is even now ready to yield
its treasures to the hand of industry and
toll The wagon road gives convenient ac-
cess to this country, and all along its ex-
tended line these treasures are deposited in
munhcent abundance. A large share of
the westward bound emigration will come
over it the present season, and we have no
doubt will return to their friends in the east
a good account of the trip. This and 9TH
er causes will conspire to produce large
emigration next season, and from that the
rich valleys and numerous gold placers in
tervening betN cen the two points above
mentioned, will receive population and
impetus which will send them rap dly for
ward in the scale of development. The
country once peopled with hardy pioneers,
the introduction of the various arts of civil
ization is secured and certain. Upon this
basis then, we assume that an overland mail
from St Louis to Wa.la Walla will Re re-
quired the coming season, p1d that service
will most likely be "a coscnes over the
Mullan road, A telegraph will immediate
~ succeed this, with its instantaneous lash
es OF Intelligence from the eastern side; and
who shall say, now thtt the bill has passed
both houses of Congress and only awaits
the signature of the President to give it Vi
tality, that a Pacific Railroad will not soon
follow in the wake of these not less impor-
tant but minor improvements? We conf
IDENTIFY believe it will and through all our
national embarrassments and difficulties,
we have had the utmost faith that we shall
at length emerge from night of darkness
and gloom into a bright anu cheering noon
day The Pacific railroad bill will invite
and receive the attention of capitalists at
home and abroad, and when the war is over
and the troubles are settled, we believe ac-
tive measures will be taken for its construc-
ton. In the event the mines in the interior
country prove rich and extensive, this fact
will hasten the building of the road, as it
will be actually needed as means of sup
plying the inhabitants with articles of hus
bendry and consumption. We believe a
Pacific Railroad will no longer be regarded
a myth, vagary, an idle dream of the i'm
agination-but practical, substantial ne
cessity. The degree of progress to which
the country on the Pacific slope is destined
will soon become so apparent as to force its
construction purely through the avarice of
the builders.
Again we say, all honor to the undaunted
heroism of the men who have stood by this
difficult work, and contributed their inces-
SAINT labors to effect its consummaton.-
Their names should be celebrated by our
people, and their memories cherished with
feelings of sincere gratitude.
