THREE MCCLELLAN TERRITORIES IN A BODY.
The Territories cf Washington Idaho, and
Montana, ifthey were permitted to vote on the
Presidential question, would each and all give
rousing majorities for Mcclellan and Pendleton.
Montana would probably give the largest Dem
ocratic vote. A gentleman just in from that
Territory informs us that three-fourths of the
citizens there are Democrats. In view of these
facts President Lincoln and his advisers showed
considerable sagacity in not making arrange
ments to have these Territories admitted to
the Union as States by proclamation, and their
electoral votes counted. As Prentice would say,
"NIr. Lincoln's sagacity is Internal" Old Abe
always looks out for himself.
The STATE ELEGTIoNs.-The dispatches keep
remarkably quiet now about the late State
elections. The probabilities are that Maryland
Pennsylvania and Indiana have given Demo-
cratic majorites, while Ohio has certainly been
carried by the Republicans. We are not likely
to learn anything further about the State cleo
tions until after the 8th of November.

sometime since from headquarters the two COM

Walla last May, under Capt. Curry to form part

past year. and who were also on campaign SER

From EAGLE Creek.
SUsANyILLE, EAGLE CREEK MINES,

October 2lst, 1864. :
EDS. STATEsMAN;-I arrived in these diggings
on Thursday last, and have occupied the time
since then in prospecting. Well, to tell you the
truth, have not made my fortune as yet, but
expect to tomorrow. BY looking at the District
Recorders books, find there has been recorded
here l49 gulch claims and 81 hill claims.
think it is doubtful about the hill claims being
worth anthing and I learn they were located ''on
suspicion" But judging from the prospects 1
have been able to obtain in many of the gulches,
about l29 claims will be worked. Think about
98 of those will pay $8 per day; 2l will pay 500
per day, and 10 will pay 500, and probably more
per day. My opinion is that this is going to be
the liveliest camp in the upper country next
spring.
MessrS. Petre Co. have their ditch nearly
completed. They will not use the ditch this
fall.
We have a town in process of erection here
which bids fair to be quite place for business.

New ELECTION LAw-The "lawyiar"
legislature Of Oregon has passed a law re-
quiring residence Of ninety days in any
county in that State before person can
claim a right to vote This has been done
to prevent the immigrants, who are known
to be nearly all Democrats, from voting.
President Lincoln has issued a proclamation
setting apart the last Thursday in November as
day of Thanksgiving and prayer TO Almighty
God. The President never forgets to issue an
abundance of procamatons.

nus E.rcGuehCy -utcHdtt IdHR,
GorernOr of louisiana:
Until further orders, you are hereby in
vested with the powers exercised hitherto
by the Military Governor of Louisiana.
Yours, ABRAHAM LINCOLN"
This Michael Hahn is no officer of the
United States; the President, without law,
without the advice and consent Of the Sen
ate, by a private note not even cOunterslgned
by the Secretary Of State, makes him Die
tator of Louisiana
The bill provided for the civil administra-
ton of the laws of the State-till it should
be in fit temper TO govern itself repeating
all laws recognizing Slavery, and making all
men equal before the law.
These beneficent provisions the President
has annulled. People will die, and marry
and transfer property, and buy and sell; and
to these acts of civil life courts and officers
of the law are necessary. Congress legisla-
ted for these necessary things and the Presi-
dent depriveS them of the protection of the
law
The Presidents purpose to instruct his
Military Governors ITO proceed according
TO the bill"-a makeshift to calm the disap-
pontment its defeat has occasioned-is not
merely grave usurpatiou but transpar-
ent delusion.
He cannot proceed accordingto the bill .
after preventing it from becoming law.
Whatever is done will be at his will and
pleasure, by persons responsible to no law,
and more interested TO secure the interests
and execute the will of the President than
of the people; and the will of Congress is
to be "held for naught," unless the loyal
people of the rebel States choose to adopt
it.
If they should graciously preferthe strin-
gent bill to the easy proclamation, still the
registration will be made under no legal
sanction twill give no assurance that ma
iority of the people of the States have taken
the oath; if administered, it will be without
legal authority, and void no Indictment
will lie for false swearing at the election, or
for admitting bad or rejecting good votes; it
will be the farce of Louisiana and Arkan-
sas acted over again, under the forms of
this bill, but not by authority of law
But when we come to the guarantees of
future peace which Congress meant to enact,
the forms, as well as the substance of the
bill, must yield TO the Presidents will that
none should be imposed
1t was the solemn resolve of Congress to
protect the loyal men of the nation against
three great dangers, (l) the return to pow
er of the guilty leaders of the rebellion, (2)
the continuance of slavery, and (3) the bur-
den Of the rebel dedt
Congress required assent to those proyis,
ions by the Convention to the State (; and If
refused, il was TO he dissolved

what's I'm "a Kiss 7

There's n formal kiss Of fashion,
And burning kiss Of passion,
A fathers kiss,
a mothers kiss,
And sisters kiss to move;
There's traitors kiss for gold,
Like serpcnt's clammy fold,
a first kiss,
A stolen kiss,
And the thrilling kiss Of love;
a meeting kiss,
a maiden kiss,
And kiss when fond hearts sever:
But the saddest kiss
On earth Is this
To KISS TO PART FOREVER.

NO DEATH.


There is no death The dust we tread
Shall chnngo beneath the summer shower,
To golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow-tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorgnniae,
To feed the hungry moss they bear!
The frost leaves daily life
From out the Niewlcss air.
There Is no death! The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait through wintery hours,
The coming of the May.
There is no death! An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread;
He bears our loved things away.
And then we call them dead"
He leaves our hearts all desolate--
He pluclSs our fairest, sweetest flowers,
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird like voice whose joyous tones
Make glad these scenes of woe and strife,
Sings now in everlasting song
Amid the tree of life!
And where He sees smile too bright,
Or hearts too pure for taint or vice,
He bears 1t to that world of light
To dwell in Paradise.
Born in that undying life.
They leave us but to come again
With joy we welcome them-the same,
Except III sin and pain.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear, immortal spirits tread,
Ger all the boundless Universe
Is liie--There is no dead!
