In looking over a number of the -
county paper couple Of months old,
noticed an article on the GuberuatoriAl
election, reminding me, as Mr.. Lincoln
would say, of an unpublished fable of Esop,
which beg leave to translate from mem
ory:
Once upon time there was q republic
of birds, in which the weaker species had
long been subjected 70 the grievous tyran-
ny of their stronger brethren. After ex-
hausting every peaceable means Of redress,
the sufferers seized the opportunity Of 9
civil war then engaging their OppIessors,
TO seek justice and happiness in q separate
State existence. For this purpose they
assembled on the banks of i!beautif1l
river" where candidates for the different
powers Of government were proposed. Al
though sound policy and self preservation
dictated the most scrupulous care in these
selections, yet, upon the recommendation
Of Magpie, (who though accused of Wag-
ging her tail to both sides, had noised her
self into temporary imPoFtance,) q Grow
of equally suspicious sntecedents aud
sympathies was entrusted with the dignity
Of Grand Scribe of the State. The loyal
birds who were dissatisfied with this choice
cousoled themselves with the hope that it
would at least tend to reconcile the disaf-
fected who remained in their ranks. In
this however they were disappointed. In
stead of mAnifesting his gratitude for the
unmerited distinction by q sincere deVo-
tion to the popular cause; the Grand Scribe
treachsrousIy sxerted his influence to open
the avenues of power TO his own friends,
aud when the time approached for the
second election of public dignitaries, be
cast of the last Veslige of dissimulation
and openly proposed "s Crow for Cover
nor But the people Of the young re-
public, who had had gained wisdom from
experience, not only took the first oppor-
tunity to displace the ungTateful Grow, bat
firmly resolved never more 70 honor another
bird Of his plumage with their confidence
and support.

THE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.

The Washington Chronicle in an article on
the ARREST Of the Maryland legislature says:
This measure Of arresting the Legislature OF
State Of the Union was one OF the highest
exercises Of military authorlty which The his
sorry Of the war has furnished To fact, 30
other measure will equal it ia this respect,
except the emancipation proclamation, which
was the direct act Of the Pre>iieut himself;
so that no general has assumed such high mil
italy prerogative as General George b. Nc
ClelEan.
Notwithstanding General Grant telegraphed
to Mr.. Stanton that the Confederate pickets
haloed across to the Federal pickes that Sher-
man. had whipped Hood, and that the latter
had lost 40, 600 men. the Associated Press dis-
patch from the Army Of the Potomac, dated
on Sunday, says that the Confederate plckets
refuse to believe that Atlanta has fallen.
The National InteIligencer defends Gen.
Buell., from the attacks made upon him Tor re-
signing his position in the u. S. army; and
says it appears now that military contumacy
is no offence when committed by q General
with radical political notions; h1at It is treason
for conservative officer 70 have ATTY views OF
political duty different from his superZors, and
to show the honesty Of his conV1ctlou by re-
nouncing service TO which De had dedioaxe2

A NIGGER IN THE FENCE.-The Noun
taineer has lately been discovering niger
in the fence in the Union organization Of
Oregon-that two of its objects are, the
election of Harding as Senator and D. w.
Craig, formerly Of the Argus but now Of the
Statesman, State Printer--and he promises
that the woOley-headed individual shall be
dislodged. We don't suppose the Senator
question troubles Ms head much, but that
printing question-he must have chance
at that like all the rest of EN-, or "bust this
glorious Union" party up;-that's what's
the matter. He had as well begin now; for
his chances for the State Partnership are
about as small as "the little end of nothing
Whitfield down to a point" By way Of set
ting aside any claims the Mountaineer may
have the Oregonian gives it back handed
compliment in the shape of quotation from
the Mountaineer in which it took occasion
only few months ago to speak Of the ADJ
ministration as "imbecile" etc.

INDIAN TRoUB1Es.-On Sunday last a
arrived at the post from the Pc
louise with the intelligence that band Of
Indians had gathered on Snake river, few
miles above the Pelouse and ordered a num-
Der of miners, who have been wintering and
prospecting in that vicinity, 70 leave the
country On the refusal of the miners to
comply with their request, the Indians tore
down their house, and compelled them to
leave, threatening their lives if they did not
do SO. On Tuesday, Capt Curry, with de-
tachment of troops left the Fort for the
scene of the trouble, and, as he has hereto
fore proven himself capable of settling diff
culties of this kind, will no doubt bring
back a favorable report.

FROM WAsHINGToN.-From letter
Just received from Hon. Geo. r. Cole, dated
Washington, Dec. 10th, we make the fol-
lowing extracts:
81 have introduced, as you will notice by
the Globe, two bills,--one amendatory Of an
act donating lands to States for Agricultu-
raj Colleges, so as to donate 10000 acres of
land for such purpose to each of the Terri
tories The title to the original act includes
Territories, but the body of the act only
provides for the donation to States. Also a
bill providing for the endowment of a Mill
tary Professorship in the University
l have givennotice, as you will perceive,
of intention to introduce two other bills,
one providing for an additional Land Dis
trict in the Territory, and one amending the
act granting two townships of land to the
Territory for a University. The original
act only reSerUes the land to the Territory,
and therefore the sale is void unless the act
is amended so as to gyaat the land This is
of vital interest to those who have purchased
the lands
The land district bill, if passed, will es-
tablish the land office at Walla Walla.
I shall give notice soon of bill to con-
struct Military Road from Wallula to some
point on Puget Sound"

RETURN OF MINERs.-Amohg the pas
sengers that have come up on the boats this
week from below are a number of miners
who hold rich claims at Boise, and who have
been spending the winter in California
Having laid aside their buckskins and cor
duroys for the more elegant styles of Swear
ables" worn in the Bay city, they appear
completely transmogrifed, and look much
more like "gentlemen of leisure" than
miners.
