Fremont,

In the face of the most horrible official
corruption ever known in the history of a
country, in which Fremont has by no means
been an unnterested participant, and in
spite of the Investigations Of the Van Wyck
Committee the President Of the United
States, yielding to the pressure Of party, has
placed Fremont in command of an import
ant Division of the army. We say it is a
disgrace to the country and will subject the
Nation to the ridicule Of every other power
We had supposed that the dictates of party
party had no effect on President Lincoln in
his endeavors to save the Union, but it seems
party behests have forced their way between
National sentiment and sense Of duty
Fremont being strong Abolitionist, never
should have had command in the Unite,
States army, and his re placement in power
is direct insult to the Slave States which
have so nobly stood 10y the Government in
its death struggle with treason and rebellion.
1t seems to us that the Government must
must have a very high opinion of the Union
sentiment in Maryland, West Virginia, North
Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Delaware and
the other portions of the border loyal States
or the President never would have consented
to any other disposition of Fremont than the
retired list.

A Secret Society.

The Stockton AryuS says there is secret
society in this State, which swears each
member
"That in all the relations Of life, he will
10y all means in his power, and without rel
ference to any other moral, religious or legal
obligations, oppose and weaken any and all
persons opposed to the ORDER to the Repub
lican party, or to the abolition of slavery;
that he will not as an elector or juror vote or
render verdict for any man who is not a
Republican and who is not in favor of the
prosecution of the present war until there is
not a slave left on the American continent"
We agree with the Sacramento Bee, which
says, the editor the 1ryus "shoul be made
to tell all he knows of such vilainous
society, in order that it may he broken up
and It's members pro erly punished High
way robbery is il virtue compared to the
crimes these men, arcor ling to the .ArguS,
are sworn to perform" The Argus says
further:
"'lhis is substantially the obligation assum
ed on entering this order, or society, or
whatever it may he called How much far
ther It's members go afterwards, we are not
advised"
There have been many vague rumors of
late of Il secret sorieiy of this nature, in
various |apers in different parts Of the State.

Every eastern traveller has told us how
people in those distant regions hurt tbensel-
yes by smoking opium, and although the sub
stance is an active and vrulent poison, there
is no instance recorded of an opium smoker
being killed while smoking. This immunity
is explained in this way: As soon as tha
op;um.smoker has taken quantity Of OPT
um suited with his complexion Of body, he
can take no more, for to smoke, one must ,cilP
and the mouth piece of his pipe falls from
his sleep oppressed lips. A French phys-
clan has applied this theory to the use Of
chIoroform in cases Of dental surgery. He
has imagined an apparatus he calls anesthsi'
metre; it is simply pipe to smoke chloro-
form. Insensibiity is gradually produced,
and without danger

The Sierra Citizen is of the opinion that

Fremont authorized Edward II Castle to have
built 100 cars for transporting troops over the
Pacific Railroad. and himself superintended the
contract. A. S. Mowry of Cincinnati gave no se-
curity but got the contract at 1925 Il car-which

The President of the road testified that for $lO-
600 they would have put up two bridges that were
down, and have altered existing cars so that they
would answer every purpose The Committee
express their opinion that here was $4,000 to
$4,000 inexcusably wasted.
With these examples drawn from the report of
the Van Wyck Investigating Committee we pause.
TO them add the cases given during successive
days of last week in the Bulletin, many of which
were committed under the authority of Fremont,
or ut least within the precincts of his hcadquar-
ters, ana we have record of corruption under
which almost any other man would stagger quick
ly to his fall. But Fremont was the banner-bearer
of principle. and for that reason he is forgiven.
The excuse OF Fremont's friends for these cir
reguarities' is that the times demanded depar-
ture from the ordinary methods of procuring sup
pIcs-tlat the emergency of the day called for IL
haste Incompatible with red tape. But this haste
made horrid waste Other commanders have acted
as rapidly aud brought odor of corruption
upon their proceedings. In preference to such
wretched ihrittlcssncss we suspect the people VIII

certainly must bea golden mean between red tape
and an utter disregard of all rules for transaoting

a short cut is needed to necessary end, but thai
is very different thing from the utter irrespon
sibilty that made the Department of the West

public treasure live a very maelstrom. But Ere

THERE MUST BE Two PARrrEs.-It has
been we'll sa d by the great Burke, that no
State is safe which excludes lawful opposi,
ton, and treats all disagreement from the
opinion of those in power, as sedi,ion and
treason In any country where the rights
Of individuals, the prosperity of the people
and Constitutional law are recos nized, there
ever will be, there ever must be differences
of opinions in regard to measures. To dis
cuss these has ever been the cherished right
of the American peope-a right which
they will never surrender without a desper-
ate struggle. If measure be good, oppo-
siton to it can have no effect-but if mis-
chevous, opposition to it is both wholesome
and necessary, AS il will expose the schemes
of INSCRIPTIONS officials, and render them
comparatively harmless. A party or meas
ure that cannot stand up against hostile crit.
icism must be rotten somewhere, or intrins-
ically worthless, and it is the duty Of ak
loyal and honest men to oppose it, though
it leads to prescription, ostracism or the
dungeon. Portland Advertiser,

From the North

The steamer Brother Jonathan arrived at
San Francisco on Thursday direct from Vic
toria and Portland No news from Cariboo.
Of Salmon river we have the following:
The steamer Julia arrived at Portland on
the night Of March l4th, from the Dales,
bringing sad news from the upper country.
Thirteen men bound for the John Day river
mines had been murdered by The Indians.
The whole country was fast bound with ice
and covered with snow. From various
Portland papers we compile the following.
summary of news recei. ed by the Julia;
The Columbia river was not yet open be-
yond Crates, or within three miles Of the
Dales. There was about two feet of snow
at the Dalles. The people were going to
cut out the ice between the oity and Crate's
Point. The road between the Dalles and
Des Chutes was open.
On the arrival of men at the Dalles they
almost Immediately rush for the mines,
without particle Of knowledge of the coun.
try; they start to walk the whole way, with
little or no provisions, and furnished with
only one or two pair Of blankets. Such
men are wild and insane, and we are afraid
(says the Advertiser) Of being compelled to-
chronicle the loss of hundreds of lives. The
river above the Dalles is solidly frozen. In
some places, we are told, the ice is 20
feet thick. There will be little chance of
provisions being sent forward for month to
come. A gentleman just down from Walla
Wala says there is no possible chance Of the
boats or pack trains reaching the mines for
four or five weeks. 1t is fvly to attempt it.
Mr.. Bridges of Oregon City, who arrived
on the Julia, from Salmon river mines direct,
says that he left the the Salmon river mines
on the Sth Of February. The snow was
deep at the mines. Very little work doing,
and it was very cold
Mr.. Bridges had been in the upper coun.
try since the first excitement, and he earnest
ly advises all parties bound upwards. to stay
down for one month or six weeks to come.
He says it is madness to go up at this time.
lie also says the news from Oro Fino is that
at that place the snow is four feet deep.
Little mining was done. There was plenty
Of provisions. Mr.. Bridges is the ast man
from Salmon river.
The population of Lewiston was rapidly
thinning out in consequence of the departure
for the mines. Flour is selling there at SO.

things in proportion. Single meals, 50.
Robie's mill is on the road between the old

David Pratt testified that Gov. Barstow of Wis
consn came to st. Louis and offered him $4,000
if he would get him colOnel's commission, say
ing that he could afford the $5 900, because if he
were colonel he could make 100000 to $4,000
profit in buying thousand horses. Pratt was
agent of New York house dealing in cavalry
equipments, and readily undertook the task. He
got ex-Judge Edward P. Cowles of New York to
visit the Tycoon" and the commission was forth
coming. But Pratt was victim of misplaced
confidence: he did not get the $4,000 commission

with two days later advices from Europe arrived

message attracted much attention although
there had been but little time for newspaper
comments. The Liverpool Post says there can
be no doubt it will have an incaculable effect IN
Europe and that the effect will be most iaVora-
bic to the northern cause.
The London Times in an editorial on the SUD-
cct SAYS it is the most important since the DIS
ruption. The Presidents avowed object is to

Likelihood of acceptance, but simply because IL Is
a PROPOSITION and the first bid toward putting
an end to the war. We may hope others may
follow. and that the North may gradually rise
in its offers until something acceptable has been
pu5 forth.
The only reply of the South to President L'n-
coin has been u resolution OF the Commemorate
House of Representatives TO burn all the cotton
and tobacco that may be in danger of falling
into the hands of the invaders.
