RoBBERY.-Some scoundrel has rob-
bed the smallpox hospital east of town
of thirty-six pairs Of blankets, beds,
pillows, cooking utensils, and all the
conveniences which it contained
There is much apprehension that the
bedding will be taken off and sold to
houses of entertainment up the coun-
try, and thus the dreadful scourge of
smallpox will be let loose on the coun-
try. The bedding was all carefully
washed and fumigated, but these pre-
cautions constitute no security against
the spread of the disease. 1t is quito
certain that the theft was not com,
mitted by Indians, as they are in nor
tai dread of the smallpox, and know
that the building was used as pest
house.

ARRIvED.AThe- remains of George
CARRIER, the Orderly Sergeant of Go.
"G," First Oregon Cavalry, arrived
at Fort Dalles yesterday evening.
Sergeant CARRIER was one time citi.
zen Of this place, and bore high rep.
utation as man Of spirit and good
feeling. He entered the service from
the highest motives Of patriotism, and
won the reputation of being thorough
soldier. He had recommended himself
to all with whom he was connected
in the service, and only needed q wider
field to have become conspicuous. In
the battle in which he was mortally
wounded he fought for some time after
he was hurt. He was brought back
to Camp Watson, where he died on
the 18Th inst, the day following the
fight. His thoughts were evidently
about his duty to the last moment, as
his last words were to order the bugle
to sound to change the guards. He
will be taken to Vancouver for burial

GOOD ADVICE FROM BISHOP PAINE.

II ~
! The Meridian tMississippi) Clarion, o
May llth, publishes the following remarks
made by Bishop Paine, of the Methods,
| Episcopal Church South, to his congrega
ton at Aberdeen, o few days previously:
We have passed through four ycafs Of
fierce and bloody war. It is over. The de.
I-csion has been made by the military au.
thorities, and presume might add, with
the advice Of the civil authorities iso-for

jet was clear and decided. It is that we
should calmly qaiet'y and unanimously re.
slme our former position as peaceful citizens,
and in good faitn enter as such upon the
performance Of our dnties.
| Our country has certainly suffered enough
| in ali that is dear to ns. Thousands of pre-

| OF life which are necessary and useful. The
poor, afflicted and bereaved must be cared

provided for; the tendency to demo aliza
| tion that inyariable corcomitant of war,
must be arrested, and law, order and fidelity
to every social, civil and religious duty
must be encouraged and sustained by US.
Let all the soldiers heed the advice and
follow the example of their leaders, who
have given up the struggle. Let them re-
tceive the parole agreed upon, and in good
faith lay aside their arms, return to their
families and friends, ard become peaceful
lcitzens. Let them not yield to the tempta.
ltious to carry on guerrilla warfare, which we
have ever regarded as wrong IN principle.
Such warfare, moreover, would result in
no good but bring great and continued dis.
tress upon the country and utterly ruin
those engaged in it. Finally. having d ways

Permit me to describe one Of tn,
early scenes in the grand drama, ths
last act Of which has not yet beer
Ipfayed.
It was during the session Of Con
gress, the winter preceding the
Charleston Convention, that a grave
senator occupied the attention Of the
Senate on the state of the nation. =
His solemnity Of manner, his SIMPLE.
ity Of style, his extreme views on the
subject OF state rights, ali proved the
sincerely of the speaker, and recalled IA
memory the figure, voice aud sentiments o.
| the dead Calhoun. Tie voice seemed mors
like the emanatloa CT q spirit than the ut.
tered convictions of the man who was DIES.
tined to be the leader Of The great rebellion.
a sort OF awe spread over the Senate cham.
Der, and even Wade, and Sumner. and
Chandler listened with an attention akin to
respect. Among The auditory there was
enc who seemed more than the rest absorbed
IN the scene before him. The Senate adj
Jouraed. and Stanton FASTENED from the Sen
ate achamtsr to one Of the great hotels OIL
Washington, and asked to be shown to III:
room Of the venerable Governor Medary, Of
Ohio. Scarcely had he entered when, with
a voice fnlIof passionate energy, he e4-
claimed" Melary, | have just heard Davis,
and, by ali the gods, be il the greatest Of
living statesmen! The South is right, and
Davis must be the nominee Of the Charleston
Convention; and to secure that end, you
must come at once To- Washington and take
charge Of the government organ"
Governor Medary suggested that there
were certain reasons why such an arrange.
ment might not be acceptable to Mr..
Buchanan, when Mr. Stanton repltd:
90 viii look to that; l will be response
for that! | vii! so at once to the White
House, and in Two hours from now / will
see you again"
Medary waited, stsnten returned but
s. L u Ii
for reasons unnecessary here to narate, the
scheme failed. This was the opening scene
which preceded the rebellion, and Edwin II (.
Stanton played the chief role us the advocate
Of Southern right, and the especial friend
OF Jefferson Davis. +
Governor Medsry sleeps in an houoret
grave, but there are yet taree living wit
nesses to the truthiulness Of this narrative
One IS state prisoner who lies ia chains at
Fortress Monroe another is his jailer, who
declared the prisoners views to be Just, and
who sought to place the man be noW holds
