"A National Religion

We will now ask our friends who are organ
;zing to agitate for the Interpolation OF
RELIGIOUS declaration into che fundamental law
of this country to consider once more, ana
thoughtfully, the late decree of Maxlm'llan
establishing and defining the relations between
religion and his Mexican empire.
We thought all this ground had beer, fought
over, and the contest fought out, by our
erandfathers, so that no controversy regarding
iitwould thereafter arise. twenty-five years
spo we had as little apprehension of ever being
called to oppose the establishment OF natlqeaI

Aver, whose family medicines are commonly
supposed to have added several years 10 the
average longevity of the human family, has
turned his thoughts to the invention OF a new
process for the desulphuration of gold and
silver-bearing ores. The labaratory tests, he
says, were entirely satisfacioryJ but the fur
naces to try the theory on larger scale did
not nswer expectation. The reason assigned
for the failure, is that no Arrangement was
made for the automatic hand ling of the heated
ores, and that in tropical climates the heat
would be too great to move them by hand.
This appears to be very lame, not to say
impotent excuse for life failure for up in
not required. Professor Ayers says that when
the working process for his new discovery is
perfected ii will be offered to the mining pub
lie for adoption. III the meantime The ex-
periments to secure practical application of
the idea is in the tands or under the control
of Gen. B. n. Butler, of New Orleans and Nor
folk uotorieiy. II appears, however, hs il
Gen. Butler does not intend to wait for the
completion of the automatic appliance, as'the
invention has been published on this coast
with a flourish of trumpets. This is not the
first time that great merit has been attributed
to some invention which utterly failed in
practice to verify representations OF the in
ventors o. meet the expec tations Of that1por-
tion of the public interested in such matters
1t is about time that the representations of
charlatans at the East were treated with a

ERUPTION OF MOUNT Hoop. = The usual
quiet and dignity of the town was yesterday
upset bysarepott that Mount Hood had at
length,commenced that often reported but
long deferred eruption. An enthusiastic
gentlemen rushed. into the Mountaineer Office
and announced that the mountain was
throwing up masses Of rock "'as big as a
tossing rocks of considerable dimensions
up out of its crater, which is to be seen in
most common school Biographies, at once
fitted across our Imagination. With this
fancy, there also came fearful apprehen-
sion that o real eruption was likely to de-
prive the mountain of u considerable portion
OF its elevation, reducing it to the appear
ance of truncated pyramid. What Ofego-
nian does not tremble the veryi idea of Mount
Hood being robbed Of its fair proportions ?
Who is there that for the trifing, temporary
qualification of'seeing, volcanic eruption,
would consent that the regular proportions
be forever marred?-losing, for the indul-
gcnce of a whim, the perpetual pleasure of
beholding-a thing of beauty scarcely paral-
leled on thei hrbitable globe. Fortunately,
the apprehensions for the safety of the
mountain, were premature; but it was GER
tainly emitting in pufs dense volumes of
smoke, which steudf1y drifted off to the
southeast, and lay in banks down the side of
the mountain. 1t is well known that sui
phurous fumes are continually emitted from
the crater nearlhe summit, and it is likely
that the subterranean- hres may be extraof-
dinarly active at this time.

AN ERRoNEoUs REPORT CoRaEcTED-We
have definite information in regard 10 tie
fight which took place near Cottonwood. ,.
on the l7th OF October, between three men in
the employment of the military department,
and band of Snake Indians; and as two
versions of the affair have been published in
this paper, we deem it of sufficient Importance
to bear telling over again; we give the follow
ing authentic version of it: A team which
had been UP to Camp hogan wits returning to-
Camp Watson, and when about twelve miles
beyond the latter place, some fifteen Indians
made their appearance ahead in the road.
There were three men with the team, one of
whom, government herder, was ahead, one
was riding in the wagbD, and one was driving
the team. The herder, being ahead, first saw
the Indians, and rode back, withtb savages
at his heels, to give the alarm. The teamster
had barely time to quicken, bis pace when the
savages were upon him, firing at him and the
mules. The saddle-mtile, being wounded,
threw the driver, and the team in running

fore,be could rise, an Indian shot him through
the shoulder. The team ran on. with several
of the mules nfaddened by wounds, and all
the Indians but three following it. These

and the third escaped, wounded, by timely

and with the herder and wounded man, got

with US in defending the good work OF our Fathers
against internal as well as external foes.
We will. North and South defend the rfRhs Of the

We will defend tho Constitution Of the Union as the
