more of inactivity. The strike among the

the completion Of tho Monitors. and deprived
our ironclad feet of the reinforcempnts which
were expected here more than month ago,
has been the primary cause Of delay. The
disaster to the DVeehawken, and the coming
of the winter season with its constant storms,
have still further enforced this delay. Two
months hence spring will be advanced Le,e,
and with our ironclad force increased by
three or four new Monitors. we will be pre-.
pared to take advantage OF the most healthful
and pleasant part Of the season. Let US hope
that If Grant does not steal = mrrch on MS BY

The Falsehood Repeated.

The Owgonian of the 9th inst. contains
letter from it's "Democratic" correspondent,
"U. E. H." from which We clip the following
paragraph:
Gas is customary the House Of Representatives have
passed skookum set of Union resolutions, copy OF
which is herewith annexed, and Notwithstanding the
fact that the people of the Territory have been
demned secessionsts, treason sympathzers, etc., by
certain official organ, because they refused to be led
by the dctation of its known editor still think when
you read these resolutions you will be than ever
convinced Of the alsity of the charge and Of the bra
zen impudence which has prompted this Ananias IN
the endeavor to defy and vy the purity Of our peo-
pie.
A man who has the Observation-Disclosures to
publish over his own proper signature what
he knows to b. absolutely and unqualiiedly
false, is unworthy of our notice. but we take
occasion, now, once for all, to challenge the
proof, or let the charge which has so frequent
~ been made during the past two years and
as often denied by us. BE- stamped as base
libel. We defy Mr.. "U. E. H." to show
one line in the STANDARD which even init
mated that there was majority Of the peo-
pie in Washington Territory who sympa-
thized with secession democracy or opposed
Mr.. Lincoln's administration of the Govern
ment. So far from this being true. in our
comments upon the Legislature which voted
down resolutions similar to those adopted by
the present Assembly, we did charge a num-
Der Of the members with being in sympathy
with the South but we never said, nor for
moment believed that majority Of the peo-
pile of the Territory approved their course.
On the contrary, we stated repeatedly, that
the great mars Of the people were loyal. and
would be certain to repudiate. as their repre-
sentatives, every man who voted against the
resolutions of Mr.. Griswold, and our predic-
ton has been verified to the very letter.
The people did send men to the last Assem-
bly, who did not hesitate TO adopt resolutions
endorsing the Government and the war. The
same thing has been done this year, although
there were ten men found voting against the
resolutions so much lauded by the corespon'
dent Of the Oregonian. 1t is not little sig
nifcant that this beautiful specimen of Union
consistency procured his nomination by the
leader of the so-called Democracy for the petty
Office of Auditor and was elected, every one
of the ten who had voted against the rssolu.
tions voting for him.

with the loyal portion Of the people with

We hope the Government will afford them an

them the command Of negro regiments. on
their arrival at Washington, and placing them
Immediately in active service.

ELIJAH,S INTERVIEW.

On Horeb's rock the prophet stood
The Lord before him passed;
A hurricane in angry mood
Swept by him strong and fast;
The forest fell before its force,
The rocks were shivered in its COURSE
God was not in the blast;
Announcing danger, wreck, and death,
Twas but the whirlwind of his breath.
1t ceased. The air grew mutc-a cloud
Game, muffiing up the sun;
When, through the mountain, deep and loud
An earthquake Numbered on;
The f1ghted eagle sprang in air,
The wolf ran bowling from his Lair
God was not in the storm;
Twas but the rolling of his car,
The trampling of his steeds from far.
Twas still again, and nature stood
And calmed her ruffled frame:
When swift from heaven fiery food
To earth devouring came:
Down to the depth the ocean fled;
The sickeniDg sun looked wan and dead;
Yet God filled not the flame
Twas but the terror of his eye
That lightened through the troubled sky.
At last voice all still and small
Rose sweetly on the ear,
Yet rose so shril and clear, that all
In heaven and earth might hear:
1t spoke of peace, it spoke of love,
1t spoke as angels speak above
And God himself was there;
For oh it was fathers voice,
That babe the trembling world rejoice.
