A GREAT NATURAL CTRIosrrI.-The
Sentinel. published at Jacksonville, Oregon,
of the 18th ult., says: Several Of our
citizens returned last week from a visit to
the great sunkcn lake, situated in Cas-
cade Mountains, about seventy-five miles
northeast of Jacksonville. This lake ri
walls the famous valley of Sinbad, the Sail
or. 1t is thought to average 1000 feet
down TO the water, all around The walls
are almost perpendicular, running down
into the water, and leaving no beach. Tie
depth of the water is unknown, and its
surface is smooth and unruffled, as it lies
so far below the surface of the mountain
that the air currents do not affect it. Its
length is estimated at twelve miles, and
its breadth at ten.
''No living man ever has, probably ever
will be able to reach the waters edge. 1t
lies silent, still, and mysterious in the bo
som Of the Everlasting hills,'' like huge
well, scooPed out by the hands of the
giant genii of the mountains, in unknown
ages gone by, and around it the primeval
forests, watch and ward are keeping.
lhe visiting party fired rifle several
times into the water, at an angle of forty-
five degrees, and were able to note several
seconds of time from the report of the gun
until the ball struck the water. Such
seems incredible, but is vouched for bv
GONE of our most reliable citizens. The
lake is, certainly, a most remarkable Curl
osity."

CHANGE GE BASE.

After the democratic nominations had
zen made, q few rotten radicals at Johns
bwn undertook the task Of getting Up a
tile disafection among the democrats, in
.rdcC to bring ''grist to their own mil"
ccordingly communications, pretending
come from dissatisfied democrats, were
1ublishcd in the ''By Authority" radical
'gan at Johnstown, and copied into the
bmi- official organ at Ebensburg. These
communications were as democratic rs a
4dical could make them-the word "cop-
ierhead' did not occur once-but still
hey wanted the ring of the true demo-
satic metal.
8 For instance, while studiously avoiding
se slang phrase "copperhead," THOMAS
s'BREEN. and JouN Thomas are called
SsatlEes-a term that no democrat could
4pIy to either of these gentlemen. 1t is
hIy that party which scorns the industri-
lis mechanic that could use such terms,
Er, MBrcen, against his will, was placed
nomination at the request of the ''Wil-
lore" and other country delegates, and
build not serve and these men, after
mplaining that a radical was appointed
the vacancy, are working with that
dical TO defeat the democratic ticket.
e. NrBreen anl his friends will appre-
ate this scurrirous attack.
John Thomas is 2 iaborious, self-edu-
ated artizan. No decent man of any
arty will deny. either his honesty or ca
acity. And those who think to defeat
priaht.llizh=ninded men, like Mr. Thorn,
shem ereatmes, will fine
'S' worsted IN the effort
Tribune was delighted with the
on a "muss" that would give it:
portion of the loves and fishes
Lated, &C catLeclra, that the RAIDS
q make no nomination, and between
-~.n and the Gisafected democrats would
lake a nice thing Of it. The Tribune felt
ort Of good.
But the ''Power behind the throne did
Get turn out to be ''greater than the
lrone" itself The Radical County Com
8littee have called the Radical Convention
sogether-not to made terms with demo
frat5-not to recommend the support Of
olunteer democrats-not TO attempt any
'bargain and sale'-but to nominate a
saol'cat county ticket Thus ends the agita-
kon, and leaves the democrats to defeat a
5cket of negro loving, Union hating radi-
ais to the tune of some thousand majority.

En the Sacred Name Of Union IL
has PeTpetsgated DistInEOn.

This charge we fearlessly make against
the Radical party. When Abolitionism
had brought about civil war, all parties
in the North sustained the government in
putting down the rebellion, because all par
ties in the North were assured this would
restore the Union,
The rebellion has been put down. 1t
is some two years and q half since the reb-
els surrendered and disbandcd their armies
on the only terms required of them-lay-
ing down their arms and renewing their
allegiance to the Constitution and laws
This they have done, and yet we are as
far from having Union restored notO as
we were then. The South, instead of be-
ing allowed to govern itself, and compelled
to do so at its own expense, is now gov
erned by standing army at the expense
| Of the North, And thus we are groGnd
to the earth with taxes to support soyer-
eign States that are able and willing tc
support themselves, if they were allowed
to do so. And the Union nerer UtU b.
restored so tong as tie rtdicais are IN g,o,ccl!
VIII not the people think of these things

OlR. HENRY O'HARA.

The Radical papers seem to have taken
4 sudden liking to Mr.. O'Hara, although
hey have heretofore denounced him, and
hose who thought with him, as Orators, -
'copPcrhcads," &c. Mr., O'Hara under
lands these gentlemen, and knows as
veil as they do what their object is.
DIr. O'I0ra is an upright citizen-an
aonest man. He is, besides, fully quail
Jed for the position of Director of the
'oor, and had he been the choice of the
Convention every true democrat would at
'nce have rallied to his support And in
hat case, these radical friends of his would
till call him traitor and copperhead, and
itch IN for somebody else to defeat the
lcket. 1t Is not love for Mr. O'Hara
hey hayc-it is hQte for the democratic
icket.
Some half dozen names were before the
Convention for Poor Director-all of them
ood democrats, all competent men. The
AaJority fell upon Mr.. Thomas. Had it
1ien upon another, Mr. Thomas and his
lends would have supported him cheer
iuy, and Mr.. O'Hara, as a good demo-
at, will do precisely the same.
The fact of Mr. O'Hara not being nomi-
tied Is no proof against either his fitness
d his worth. The fact that Munster
.l"nship had the oflice for six out of
Teive years may have contributed to the
suit. But it is funny enough to see the
adicals breaking their hearts about an
ace not worth more than $50 per year.

GEN. GEANT.-The following from the
New York World takes the view pretty
generally held by the Democratic press in
relation to Gen. Grant and the presiden-
cy:
General Grant is under a moral neccs-
sity OF respecting the great renown of his
past services. 1t is beneath him to play
any common part IN vulgar politics. The
Presidency can be nothing 10 him; he
has more valuable office, But if, in
the hands of Providence, he could be an
instrument for tranquilizing the country,
that is an honor for which he could afford
to sacrifice ease, congenial pursuits, and
the possibility Of still greater fame as a
soldier. God forbid that ne should de-
scend into the arena Of party contests. Ii
he cannot be elected President without
such descent, he can do no good in the
| Presidency. Our torn, lacerated, exas-
| perated country needs soothing, needs pa
cification, needs oil on the troubled waters,
! which still toss and dash after the recent
tempest. We would no more have Gen
eral Grant become party politician than
/ If he had lived in Washington's time, we
| would have wished him TO give and re-
turn party blows, AS Washington was
e!ected and reelected on the strength ol
his character and services, without pledges
/ either asked or given, we trust that Gen.
/ Grant viii be elected, if at all, in the same
way and with the same generous conf,
dence. Having restored the authority oI
the government, we hope that he may ado
the highest civic to the highest military
fame by restoring long lost cordiality O
feeling.

GONG VERY FAsT-This is an age OF
wonderful inventions. The minds of inge-
nious men have brought forth machinery IA
cilitating and making labor easy. And
among the rest the Blacksmith has not been
forgotten, for I. c. Singer has invented a
machine which makes the process of bending
light or heavy tires, bands, &C., an easy and
very pleasant task. This machine is gauged
and numbered so as to tell exactly where &c
place the rollers in order to bend any desired
diameter. Hundreds of references can be
given. TO get the machine, address L. X

n. B.-A few State rights remain to be
diSposed of. None need apply for Pennsyl-
vania. as the inventor intends holding it for
the purpose of selling machines.

blacksmithing done, is at Il. II. Singers
shop, near Isaac Evans tannery.

PHENOMENON IN IRELAND. KEY. Pat
rick Malone, parish priest of Belmullet,
writes to a Dublin paper about an extra
ordinary convulsion of nature which oc
Cured within eleven miles of that town a
few nights ago. The ssside of mountain
was raised from its bed, and suddenly
breaking up into huge fragments, proceed
ed down the inclined surface, carrying
destruction in its course, until il spent its
fury in the waters of the Atlantic" The
portion of mountain which broke up con-
tanned an area of about forty acres. and
although the elevation was not more than
one foot in fifteen, the great altitude from
which the subterranean current assembled
accounts, he thinks, for the irresistible force
which attended it. Hundreds of large
fragments, some of them measuring two
thousand cubic feet, are now, Mr.. Malone
says, to be seen thrown in on either side
and strewn upon the undisturbeb plane,
without the appearance of water having
accompanied them there His explana-
| tion of the phenomenon is that the great
drought of the preceding two months Gre
ated vacuum between the peat surface
and its gravelly substratum. The heavy
fall of rain being pressed into the cavity
produced the eruption. Several families
had narrow escape of tbeis lives, some
persons having been carried forward a dis
tance on the moving and breaking ground
The bog debris is scattered over the crop:
of several poor men, a road is blocked 10y
the fragments, dale closed up, and val
ley created, ''where nothing but a noun
tain appeared before"

CUmOUs CAsE.-A Boston savings bank
has lately had a strange case of mistaken
identity. About four years ago one
armed man called, saying he wished TO
draw money deposited there several years
before but had lost his bank book. The
treasurer asked him if he could prove his
identity, and he said that he had formerly
driven a cart for a well-kDown coal mcr-
chant in the city, and in his employ had
lost his arm. The coal merchant was
summoned, and at once said he IT )gnized
the man, although he was somewhat
changed in appearance, and that he was
all right and signed bond III the claim
ants favor, who departed with his money.
Nothing more was heard Of the matter till
about month or so ago, when another
one-armed man claiming the same name
as the first, entered the bank with his book
in his hapd and demanded his deposit.
He told the same story as to his identity
as the first, said he had been in prison
these many years, and the coal merchant
was summoned to decide. At once the
merchant said that before he had been de-
ceiYed, that the other man was an impos-
tor, but this was the right man, and with
the utmost good nature paid the bond he
had signed four years before and Il Sec
ond time the money was paid. The ex-
/ PLANTATION probably is that both these one
armed men had been in the same prison to.
/ gethor, had talked and planned together,
and together had been successful IN THEN

ASSASSINATION OF LoPEz Gen. Iopcz.
the traitor who betrayed Maximilian, has
been assassinated. The occurrence is thus
described by letter writer: Lopez was
stopping at hotel in Puebla, where his
wife spurned hin from her presence. Ear
ly one morning a Mexican arrived, and
familiarized himself with an hostler in n
livery stable adjoining the hotel. Gen.
Miguel Lopez was inquired for, but not
being IN, the stranger was told that the
General woald be at dinner. Before the
dinner hour Lopez returned, and was
pointed out 10 the stranger, who made spe-
cial note Of his man. When dinner was
called, Lopez and his assassin occupied
opposite seats at the table. After some
minutes, during which time the stranger
called for and drank Il glass of wine, he
deliberately rose, drew a concealed knife.
and sprang upon Lopez and stabbed him
nine times. The stranger then took his
hat, and as he started TO leave, said, 'sThis
IS the way alt traitors should be paid"
No Que interfered, or prevented the assas-
sin from leaving. Thus was the blood of
Maximilian, Miramon, Mejia, yes, and
thousands of others avenged.

TIE LATEST RUMOR IN TIE CONOvER
CAsF--The latest rumor is that man
named Raba, who was arrested for frauds
upon the Treasury, was for time con-
fined in the cells at the Jail here with San
ford Conover, and he had opportunities of
becoming familiar with Conoyer's move
ments, and the results of his frequent in
terviews with Mr.. Impeacher Ashley. Ii
appears that when the Congressman went
to visit the perjurer, the latter was taken
from his cell and permitted to see his visi-
tor in a room down stairs, and the inter
views lasted sometimes two or three hours.
On one of these occasions it is said that
Conover was busiIy writing, and had
many paper before him when Mr.. Ashley
called. Going to meet his visitor he neg
lected to put up his papers, and Rabe b: d
the curiosity to examine them. He found
them to be certain statements which some
party or parties unknow was to swear }.
Their contents were briefly noted, and it
IS now asserted that the testimony OF GER
tain witnesses at the Surratt trial CORES,
pond exactly with the statements previ-
ously prepared by Conover in his prison
cell. 1t is further said that the truth of
this can be demonstrated most clearly
