Capt. Curry's Expedition

We make the following extract from letter
received by gentleman in this city from friend
serving in Capt. Curry's expediton-dated "Base
of Stems Mountain, Oregon, August 18th :"
" We are now on our return to our Supply
and Depot Camp, after most active and severe
scout of 50 days duration, in and about the vi
cnity of the Harvey Lake and Crooked River
countries. On the lst of July we met Capt.
Drake's command, (15O strong) from the Dalles
on the goth of April. We Joined our forces las
per orders from Headquarters and acted in CO.
operation against the Snakes intestng that por-
tion of the country. Since leaving our supply
camp on the 22d of June, we hare travelled some
700 miles, scouting the whole face of the coun-
try above named, and extending our operations
even as far as Canyon City, AMI the adjacent
country. The principal band Of Indians who
have been committing depredations in that Sec
ton, is led by a notorious, rascally red skin
whom they call Poliney. He seems to be ubi-
quitous, and like the Dutchman's flea, is some
where else when you think you have
him. We have pursued him until all our
horses are nearly worn out and our men too,
for that matter, and have only lad one skrmish
with him, resulting, actually, in nothing but
waste of powder and ball We sent our Indian
allies out as scouts, to hunt them up, and whilst
so engaged the Snakes managed to surround
them, and, in cutting their way back to u.s. they
lost one of their NUMBER who was completely
riddled with balls. Since that sEirmish we have
not seen an Indian, nor do | think we WILL du-
ring the remainder ofthe campaign. We are now
within one days march go miles) of camp. We
will probably lay up to recruit, say 10 days, In
Sept. think we will scout around the OwYhee
and Malheur countries and then sup stakes" for
Walla Wala by the lst of Oct, reaching there as
per orders, say Oct. 25th or 26th Pdoassureyou,
we have had a severe time of it, in beating around
in those horrible sand and wild sage brush des-
erts travelling some trmes 70 and 80 miles over
fVvh1est, sandiest, dreariest and moss monot-
onous country under heaven; and that, too
without drop of water to euench the thirst Of
either men or animals. Sometimes we were COM
PEELED to encamp on the borders of the lakes
whose saline waters only increased, instead ot
diminished our thirst. In such cases, made q
mixture of vinegar and water, which remeded
the matter to a small extent l never want to
set foot in such country again Every one OF
our people seems to be completely played out and
the exclamation Il wish we were on our way back
to Walla Walla" is frequently heard, uttered with
the most intense fervor.

REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR VICE PRESIDENT
One of our patrons, who resides just over the
line, in Oregon, and who is 'sympathizer"
with and has ardent attachment for Lincoln
and Johnson, says he ''laughed in his sleeve"
while reading some extracts and remarks we
made thereon, published in the STATESMAN a
few weeks ago, in reference to Andrew John
son. He desires to have another laugh, and
asks us if we will tbe kind enough to publish
something further about Andy?' Just to graf
ify our mirthful patron we will furnish him
further material for another hearty laugh in his
sleeve. We failed to see any place for laugh
to come in in the former paragraphs and we can
discover nothing to laugh at in the paragraph
given below, but we we presume our jocose pat
ron will see the ''point." The paragraph is
taken from the Constitutional Union published
in Washington City. Here it is;

Penalty for Obstructing the Enroll
ment.

We publish at the request of Mr.. Eells, enroll
ing officer for this county, the following section
of the enrolment law, showing the penalty for
obstructing the enrolment;
Section II of an act to amend an act entitled
act for enrolling and calling out the national
forces and for other purposes approved Mrrch Sd,
1864, contains the following
u And be it further enacted, That any person
who shall forcibly resist or oppose any enroll
ment, or who shall incite, counsel, or encourage,
or who shall conspire, or confederate, with any
other person or persons forcibly to resist or op-
pose any such enrolment, or who shall aid or
assist or take any part any forcible resistance
opposition thereto, or who shall assault, OBJ
struct, hinder impede, or threaten any officer
or any otherperson employed in making, or in
aiding to make, such enrolment, or employed
in the performance of any service in any way re-
lating thereto, in arresting aiding to arrest
any spy or deserter from the military service of
the United StatesJ shall, upon conviction there
of in any court, competent to try the offence, be
punished by fine not exceeding five thousand
dollars, or by Imprisonment not exceeding five
years, or by both of said punishments inthe dis
cretion of the court" 4
Paragraphs 27 and % % Revised Regulations
for, the government of the Provost Marshal Gen
erals Bureau read as follows
Par. 27. "He" (the Provost MarshaD shall
arrest and forthwith deliver to the proper civil
authorities, to wit; the Marshal of thS United
States within and for the district in which the
arrest is made, with written charges in the case,
any and all persons who shall have violated sec
ton IL of the act amendatory of the enrolment
act, or any part Of the same"
Par 28 +" If person, with intent to prevent
the draft, refuses to give his true name when
lawfully requested so to do by officer whose
legal duty it is to ascertain and enroll it is an
obstruction of that officer in the performance of
one of his duties in relation to the draft, So al
so of the giving of false names with the same IL
legal intent and the offender will, in either case,
be subject to summary arrest by the Provost
Marshal" j. w. PORTER,

safe, happy and prosperous beyond those of any
other nation which ever existed. Every man
held his rights by the law of the land, which he
participated in making. 1t follows from what
has preceded, that while it is-the duty of every
citizen to support the government, it is equally
his duty to oppose every act of the persons who
assume to govern either as law makers, law ex-
popnders or law executors, in manner not au-
thorized by the Constitution. No President
could be loyal who attempted to legislate, or
act judicially, or authorize others to perform
those acts. No Congress would be loyal which
attempted to make laws which were in contra
vention or unauthorized by the Constitution, or
which should attempt to interfere with the ac-
tion of the other departments of government;
no court could be loyal which should attempt to
deprive a man of his rights to life, liberty or
property, by simply his own notions of expedi-
ency or right method of declaring the law in
the case. To support any person in governing
in a manner unauthorized by the Constitution
would not be supporting the government of the
United States, but government set up by per-
sons without authority of the people. 1t would
be subverting the government of the United
States, by setting up a new government in the
place of the old one. No man Can be loyal to
the government and favor a violation of the
Constitution, any more than man could favor
the destruction of mans copsstution to re-
store health. In a word, who supports the Con-
stitution supports the government-who sup
ports the government is loyal, while he who fa-
vors a violation of the Constitution favors the
destruction of the government, and therefore is
disloyal 1 hold that he is the patriot and loyal
man who supports Administration while it is in
power, but who at the same time strenuously
, opposes unconstitutional acts .e by the per-
sons occupying government ms. A man s
allegiance is due to govern laws, not
to man. These are truisms - q, = who have
studied the principles of government, but there
are many in high places who ignore them, and
many good persons support men acting entirely
without authority, because they ignorantly think
they are aiding the government.

FRIDAY EVENING, sEPTR 2, 1864.


The following article which we clip from the
editorial columns of the Oregon Statesman is
in strange contrast with the great mass of stuff
which is ventilated through the radical press of
the country. Appearing, as it does, in the lead
ing Republican paper of Oregon, we cheerfully
give the article a place in our columns. 1t
breathes the true spirit of christianity and pa
triotism, and we commend it to the attention of

candy johnson, of Tennessee, who was nom
mated at Baltimore by the Republicans for Vice
President, is known to be one of the most con-
sumate demagogues living In addition to
thousand other little tricks resorted to by him
to make himself popular with the masses, we
are told that he keeps standing, in front of the
elegant mansion in which he lives, a small one
story shanty in which he once worked as a
journeyman tailor this he points out to his Wis
itOrs telling them the story Of his early strug-
giles in life He forgets, however, to tell them
one other thing connected with his humble ORR
gin how he has old mother, more than sew
enty years of age, who he suffers to traverse
the streets of Philadelphia with basket on her
arm, selling tripe for a living. Ye who have
hearts, only think of this a man who is rolling
in wealth and aspires to the position of Vice
President of this great country suffers his old
mother to trudge about the streets of large
city, hawking tripe, that she may buy bread to
keep her old soul and body together. Ingrati-
tude can assume darker shade than this.

News of fAugust 24th

Headquarters Army Potomac, Aug 2l-The
Herald's correspondent gives the following par
ticulars of Gen Hagood's treachery in the battle
of the 2lst:
The rebels found themselves under quadruple
fire of musketry and artillery which caused
them to throw down their pieces and raise their
arms, which considered as a surrender
Gen. Butler sent Capt. Daley of his staff to re-
ceive them as prisoners. Our men having ceased
firing, Capt. Daley told Hagood he had been
sent to receive him and his brigade as prisoners,
and when without saying a word Hagood drew
his revolver and shot Daley. The Captain lived
about half an hOur-only long enough to make
a statement that Hagood after shooting Daley,
called upon his men to pick up their muskets
and fall back, which they attempted to obey.
Our men again fired, when they threw down
their pieces the second time. This time they gave
themselves up as prisoners The second volley
added largely to the number killed. Among the
killed is Hagood whowas shot through the head
The number of prisoners is between50O or 600
After hours fighting, the battle ended. The
same correspondent states that the rebels state
that the rebel Gen. Hood. was killed on that
day
Gen.-A, P. Hill is reported mortally wounded

Foreign News:

New York, Aug. 23.-The London correspon-
dent of the Herald states that the Emperor Of
the French has just informed Slidell that he will
never recognize the rebel States, even if they
should achieve independence de facto, unless they
determine to abolish slavery and engage that all
the children born of slave parents shall be free
and slavery shall be abolished and cease within
ten years from the date of their recognition.

ORPHEUs c. KERR says! "Patriotism, my
boy, is a very beautiful thing The surgeon of
a Western regiment has analysed a very nice
case of it, and says it is peculiar to the hems-
phere. He says it first breaks out in the mouth,
and from thence it extends to the heart, causing
the heart to swell. He says it goes raging
until it reaches the pocket, when it suddenly
disappears, leaving the patient very constitu-
tionak and conservative.
We have "modern democracy" "modern re-
publcanism," modern almost everything, and
now Orpheus gives pretty fair idea of what
might be very well termed modern patriotism"
''Shoddy" is what's the matter.
