- At Muscatine, Iowa, recently, two
hundred persons turned out and worked two
days in digging potatoes for the benefit Of
the soldiers families in that vicinity. The
enterprise was directed by the woman of the
town, who had planted and "weeded" the
crop in twenty-acre "patch" given for the
purpose.

DURABILITY OF T1MBER.-The piles sus.
tanning the London bridge have been driven
five handrsd years. In l845 they were criti-
cally examined, and found to have been de.
caysd but slightly; these piles are principal
ly Of elm. Old Savory Place, in the city of
London, is sustained on piles driven $50 years
ago; they consist Of oak, elm, beach and chest
nut, and are perfectly sound. The bridge
built by the Emperor Trojan over the Danube.
AFFORDS striking example Of the durability Of
timber in the wet state. One Of these piles
was taken up and found to be petrifed to the
depth Of thrse.quarters Of an inch, and the
rest Of the wood had undergone NO change,
though it had been driven 900 years.

Union Leagues-Their Purpose.

Peace Democrats seem to be greatly dstur.
bed, because that Union Leagues have been
organized at various pacs in the State. VAL
landigham clubs and Democratic associations
under reasonable names are all right, but
when men. who love the Union and desire to
make their service in its behalf most effective,
unite together and invite loyal citizens to join
them for the purpose Of Strengthening and
giving force and directness TO patriotic senti-
ments, there is great hue and cry against
such combinations. Already unfounded jeal-
ouscs are sought to be aroused and ungen-
erous preiudices excited. This was to be ex :
pectcd in regard to any plan of action having
for its object the protection ftl,e Government
and tho salvation of the Union. The same
men who hate the war and want it stopped,
will oppose all movements or operations which
are calculated to arouse loyal sympathies, and
to swell the ranks of patriotism. These are
the objects Of the Union Leagues, and tless
alone, so far as we understand their history
throughout tho country. They have gathered
together those, who with one accord, arc
striving at the ballot box, to do what our pat
riotic armies doing in tho field-to save the
country from being sacrificed to the rebellion,
and its allies in the North. Surely such an
object is not only worthy, but especially de-
serving of commentator and encouragement.
The simple fact that they are denounced so
bitterly by Northern seccssionists is n strong
argument in their favor, for these are the very
men, whose influence the Union Leagues pro-
pose to overcome. They are in the way Of
patriotism, and their power must be van
quished. They sympathize with treason, and
all means which are lawful and likely to be
effectual must BE- employed to rescue our in
stitutions from their mischicvous and nnprin-
cipled designs. Experience in other States,
has proved the Leagues to BE- potent ageucy
accomplishing this result, and ws feel con-
fident that similar good fruit will be yielded
here. Thy will hurt no one but traitors !:
they attack nothing but treason, and we trus:
that their work will be so we'll and thoroughly
done in Oregon, that every loyal man will bs
proud of his connection with an organization
40 patriotic, while at the same time it is en-
tifely fee from all the objections which cap
tious opponents have sometimes made to other
political assertions. Join the Leagues, then,
every lover Of the Union-make them strong
and vigorous, and increase their influence
throug ghout the State !-Oregosian.

What Has Been Accomplished.

UN1oNTowN, Friday, Aug. Il. 1861.
TO the Editor Of the Pits. Commercial: ::
was veg much pleased with your cd
itorial of to-day entitled "Mobile." l
wish few more such blows, falling sue
cossively little swifter and a little heav-
ier, might be struck until croakers should
learn to be silent; untilevery voice should
be only of those who see no end to the
war; until the rebellion is subdued and
our great and glorious government stands
once more free from the dangerof attacks
of malignant traitors and pestillerous plot
tiers.
But look. Look at the signs that mark
ed the beginning, the previous progress,
and the present status of the nation in the
war, and see if there can be found in re-
nlity any shadow Of reason for despond-
ency.
| simply rehearse facts well known, ev-
on to croakers, if they would but callthem
to mind.
At the beginning, eleven States were
said to be joined in a Confederacy. Now,
certainly seven have been so completely
recovered that no one pretends to think of
them as under rebel control.
In the remaining four the whole series
of the disease has been circumscribed to
two points. This has been donea Though
the nation was to begin the struggle with
out money, without knowing who could be
relied on, without our foreign relations in
very uncertain position, a navy scatter
ed to distant seas, an army unorganized,
and people hearing the noisy and quasi
victorious menacings Of virulent and un-
scrupulous foe resounding through the
dir. Now how changed. Again, let not
the feint-hearted fail to call to mind the
thrill after thrill of loyal gladness thathas
swelled through the land, appalling the
souls of the base, as Donelson, Stone Riy-
er, Vicksburg, New Orleans, Yorktown,
Williamsburg, Antietam, and G Gettysburg,
have been written on the list of decisive
aud concluding triumphs of the National
Arms. Away then with dependency and
fears. Let freemen rise in the energy Of
free determination and virtuous indigna-
ton, and dealing on the right hand and left
feeling strokes from stalwart arms con-
qaer peace

New YORK, August PA Harpcr's.
Ferry dispatch to the Herald, dated II;
30 a. m, August 23d, states that skir-
mshing commenced very early this morn
ing on our right, and extended along the
whole line.
The rebels made, several charges which
drove our lines in, and VIC were rapidly
driven through the town, out on the Har-
per's Ferry pike. The rebels followed us
very close.
The whole army is now strongly post
ed on the heights in the rear Of this
place, with the enemy close upon us.
But seeing us thoroughly prepared, they
may not risk an engagement. Should
they do so, your readers may look for
some very encouraging news.
BALTIMoRE, Aug. 24.-Reports have
been received here, via the Northern
Central Railroad, that the rebels have
crossed the river, which reports need
confirmation.
Nothing is received direct from the
Upper Potomac.

Copperhead Peacemakers.

The Copperheads appear, at present to
be distinguished from all Others in the ma
ton, by their persistent bellowings after
peace peace z only give us peace. Hay-
ing forgotten their cries for war, in 1872,
and that they precipitated war upon us
with Mexico, in 1S45, and that they ori-
einated and executed several fillibuster-
ing expeditions into Cuba and Mexico,
for the extension of slavery, they now
would have us believe they are exceeding
ly merciful that war is horribly cruel,
and that they are for peace world with
out end. Their pretensons need exami-
nation. 1t at once evident, that they
themselves are at war with no one, but
the loyal party Of the North. The re-
be lion appears to be so just to them, that
Lawrence and Ft. Pillow massacres do
not even require an explanation or an
apology at their hands. 1t is in vain
that We seek for evidence to convince any
one that they condemn the rebellion in
its objects, or in the manner in which it

Position Of the Herald.

The editor OF the Herald seems to la
Dor under a mistake in supposing that we
had any anxiety in our minds as to his
position, with reference to the amend
ment to the constitution, allowing the SOL
diers the right of sufrage-we never
doubted his position. On two occasions
we requested him to call the attention of
his readers to the fact that there was an
election to come off, and to request them
to vote in favor of said amendment-but
he declined to do so. Ifthis was not enough
to convince any one as to his position GER
tainly his walking up to the window and
depositing his own vote against said
amendment should remove all doubt -
This our neighbor will not, we think, de-
ny.
