ANALYzE Ir.-A bit Of news, puporting
to have come overland from the Dalles, has
been floating around the streets for the past
two or three days, to the effect that there
were from 1900 to 1000 people in Portland
awaiting transportation to the upper country.
Let it be borne in mind by the credulOus
that there had been no communication be-
tween Portland and the Dalles, at the time
of the last overland departures from the lat
ter place, since the last arrival of the ex-
press at Walla Walla.

In Dresden there is an iron egg, the his
tory of which is something like this: A
young Prince sent this iron egg to a lady to
whom he was betrothed She received it in
her hand, and looked at it with disdain. In
her indignation that he should send her
such a gift she cast it to the earth. When
it touched the ground, spring, cunningly
hidden in the egg, opened, and silver yOlk
rolled out. She touched a secret spring in
the yolk, and golden chicken was re-
vealed she touched spring in the chicken,
and crown was found within; she touched
spring in the crown, and within it was
found diamond wedding ring There is a
moral to the story.

The Philadelphia Dispatch says, "Some
men actually hostile to the Republican party
have been, either directly or indirectly, re-
cipionts of the public bounty to large ex-
tent. All such might very we'll be dis
placed" Well, the principle of removing
all from office who were not radicals has
been pretty generally carried out, and it is
likely, will be continued as fast as the con-
servative "traitors" are found out. The
only way for a government official to pre-
serve his official head from immediate de-
capitation, is to come the abolition dodge
and out-radical any body. This stroke of
policy will serve him when all else fails !;
but it takes mean man to come this dodge
if he does it merely for sake of Office, and
no honorable man would stoop to it.

WRITTEN FOR THE STATESMAN
Peace to the Brave.

J. c. eILLETT, sERG MAJOR lsT W T. VOLS
Peace to the brave who in battle have persisted,
Fighting for Extraordinarily
Long in hearts shall their memories be cherished,
Noble supporters Of country and laws.
Died they brave men die,
Facing the enemy
There where the battles shocks fercest and fell,
There where the chargers feet,
Swiftly the fOemen greet,
There where the footlnen meet fought they and fell
Peace to the bravel Where the red tide of battle
Has swetp o'er the mountains and valleys they lie.
Mid the laundering crash ofthe cannons dread rattle
Pressed they on firmly, nor feared they to die.
There meath the suIphrous smoke,
Sword thrust and saber- stroke
Gave they, received they ere yielding their breath,
Dying the dark oil red
With the life blood they shed
Ere to their crimson bed sank they to rest.
Peace to the brave A halo of glory
Encircles their names on the bright scroll of fame.
The future historian, writing their story,
ExuIting shall tell of their battles again
How Ger each parapet,
Banner and banneret
Ilanted they frm IN tne lace OF Ihe Ice,
Knowing their cause right,
Fighting with all their might,
TIL, in the thckest fight, death laid them low.
Peace to the brave, who from battle returning
BY victory crowned the dread conflict is DER
In the stiffness ofnght, by their campfr low burn
ing,
Meet they and tell Of the battle once more;
How side by side they fought
AS the stern foe they sought;
How step by step advanced-forcod him to yield
Till DER his slaughtered dead
Backward with fearful tread
Broken, dismayed he fled from the red field.
Hail to the Union triumphant and glorious
Fanatics and traitors never unbind.
The Star Spangled Banner is floating victorious
And filings its broad stripes and bright stars to the wind
Fer meath its ample folds
Hearts tried and true as gold
Shall gather to conquer the traitor and foe
Ever our country be

Blsst land of liberty nought oertbrow.

Spccial Correspondence of the Chicago Times.
WAsHLNGroN, Jan. 29.-Mr Schcnc5,
of Ohio, made the astounding statement
in the House yesterday that the rebels
were making last dcspairing effort tn
raise men enough to break through the
Union lines, and to transfer the seat OF
war to Northern soil. Mr. Schenck is
very much in the dalk, and he has a
very confused idea of the real military
strength of the rebels, or of their de-
Signs for the campaigns of 1854 1t is
curious, too, to contrast the nitcrances
of Mr.. ScIcnck to-day, with what he
said ani with what his fe9l)w-repubil-
cans said, two years ago. Two years
aro. Mr.. Schcnck and his fellows de-
Glazed that the backbone of the rebel
lion was broken, and that the rebellion
was 0D its last legs and that, IN SIX
months more, every vcstISe OF rebellion
would be crushed out. We'll, here we
are. clio. 20 the end f the thi:d year
of the war, ani now what doc; he say?
Whv, that the military power OF the
rebels is 80 great, that thy are going to
inUade the aorih sec1nd hF1e next sum
mer! Mr. Schcnck is right this time,
but he has not told half the trith. The
simple fact is, as we will prove to our
cost when the spring campaign opens,
that the Confcdcratcs will have far
more effective military force in the field
by next March, tLan they have ever had
before. [ have seen several very intel
lirent men direct from the South, quite
recently and | am convinced, from
their accounts, thai the South will have
fully 500 600 troops, actual efectives,
for the spring campaigns. My infor-
mants all agree in this: that the opera
tiops of the Confederates will he divid
ed. first, to the recovery of Chattanoo-
GA. Knoxville, and East Tennessee, for
which purpose Gen. Johnston Will have
i5o, 900 troops that this will not oe
attempted by assuming the offensive at
first, but that Gen. Johnston Will retire
towards Atlanta, intending to draw
Gen. Grant after him into the interior,
and then to return and take possession
of the point named second, to the In
vasion of the North, to which task an
other $50 900 troops are assigned; third,
to the defence Of Richmond, Charleston,
Wilmington, Savannah and Mobile.
A very nice little plan for stealing the
homes and furniture of the Southern
people. as we'll as their barns ,granarles
and cattle, has been cunnlngly intro
duced into the Senate by Mr.. Wilson, ol
Massachusetts, in the guise OF "A oil

military service" This bill provides
! that all lands in the Southern States,
with certain unimportant exceptions,
| shall be deemed unappropriated pub
lie lands," under the operation of the
confiscation act and shall be subject to
entry, under the provisions of the home
stead law, by any officer or soldier, white
or black, who shall have served two
years during the present rebellon; the
houses and buildings erected on the
lands, with their contents, to so with
the lands themselves. The design and
purpose of this bill shows plainly the
object of the republican party in pro-
longing the war; The leaders of that
party are already provided for, in the
way of fat contracts, Offices, etc, and
for more than year past they hrvc
been promising the rank and file of
their party that, at the end IF the war,
each man should have n snuS farm in
Alabama, or Georgia, or Virginia. 1t
is in order to fulfill this promise that this
atrocious bill is now brought in by Sen
ator Wilson. Suppose y Southern man
was President, and that Southern men
controlled the action OF Congress, would
not the whole world ring with indigna-
ton if bill were passed to confscate
the estates of Northern men and confer
them upon Southern soldiers? ? Surely
the enormity is none the less be cause
the deed is to be done by the North
The exposition of the unconsttution-
ality of the coniiscation act, which was
made iu the House, on the 26th instant.
by Fernando Wood, was an effort which
reminded me more Of the constitutional
arguments of Daniel Webster than any
thing that has been heard in Congress
for long time. 1t was literally unan-
swerable, and it will remain unanswer-
ed. Nor was that part of Mr.. Woods
speech which enforced the expclicncy
IF bringing the war to. close less wor-
thy of admiration. "

Richmond, Jan. 25 The number Of soldier.
who have been killed or del in the service
from each State, may be somewhat approx
mated from the following statement:
To the first of last month the following ap-
plications had been fled in the SeconI Anii-
tors Office by willows and orphans of leceasel /
soldiers: From Virginia, 4.9l5; North Caro-
lima, 8,26l; South Carclira, 4.5ll; Georgia,
9,50f; Alabama, 8, $50; Mississippi, 3,270;
Texas, 1921; Tennessee, 81: Florida, ISL;
Arkansas, sol; Louisiana. 81.
General Orders No 80, issuel Oh the 31th
Of October, 1862. requires cous:a N lers Of com
panies Immediately on the death of a soldier,
to mako out and forward to the Se:onI Audi
tor his descriptive list, showing his name,
when and where enlisted, from Ghat el SC he
diel, and when he was last p:,i1.
Surgeons in charge of hospitl's are also re-
Qnirel to make similar report Of n! soldiers
who die. The following number had been re-
ported up to the ist of DeceuIb-I last: From

gcnce by captains and surgeo in reporting
the deaths of soldiers.
Richmond, Jan. Z5.-The House today
passed the Senate bill to appoint an agent of

sissippi with slight amendment. \ resolu-

service during the all persons now in the

upon in open session, and an open vote on the
resolution was asked. The yeas aud nays
were called, but the call Was not sustained,
and no vote was taken. A resolution that III
the judgment of the House it is earnestly de-
sirable in order to secure comfortable subsist-
ence to our valiant army, and ailay discomfort
known to exist in certain localities, that the
present Commissary General be removed, was
laid ON the table. Yeas 46, nays 20. Dir.
Gartrell, fl ON the Judiciary Committee re-
norted back the Senate bill to fix the time of
meeting of the next Congress, with a recon-
mendatio that the House concur in the bill
which fixes the first Monday in May. A mo-
ton was made to insert the 18th Of February;
another motion made to postpone the con-
sideration of the whole matter until the 18th
of February. The questi n was taken on the
last motion by division-ayes 20, noes 30. The
House then went into secret session.

ments. The best devotion is that which
knows how to speak .salutary truths in
time of need. We arc unanimous in
advising that an end should be put to
the Mexican expedition, far be it from
us to say at any price; but as the inter-
est and honor of France will permit.
The expression Of this wish certainly
res ponds to the general sentiment Of the
country, and we think the government
of the Emperor will receive it with
favor"
The committee unanimously propose
the adoption Of the bill.
