A Great NaiaraI Curiosity.

The SeRti,sel, published at Jackson
vile, Oregon, Of the 18th ultimo, says (:
"Several Of our citizens returned last
week from a visit to the great sunken
lake, situated in Cascade Mountains.
about seventy five miles northeast Of
Jacksonville. This lake rivals the fam
Gus Valley Of Sinbad, the Sailor. 1t is
thought 70 average two thousand feet
down to the water all around. The
walls arc almost perpendicular, running
down into the water, and leaving no
beach. The depth Of the water is un-
known, aud It's surface is smooth and
unrufiied, as it lies SO far beneath the
surface Of the mountain that the air
currents do not affect il. Its length is
estimated at twelve miles andit breadth
at ten.
No fixing man ever has, probably
ever will, be able to reach the waters
edge. 1t lies silent, still aud mysteri-
Gus in the bosom Of the everlasting
hills, like q huge well, scooped out by
the hands Of the great genii Of the
mountains, in unknown ages gone by,
and around il the primeval forest, watch
and ward are keeping. The visiting
party fired a rifle several tunes into the
water, at an angle Of forty-fvo degrees,
and were able 70 nole several seconds
Of time :Yni the report Of the gun until
the ball struck the water Such seems
incredible, but is youched for by some
Of our most reliable citizens. The lake
is certainly a understandable curiosity.

NEGRO EQUALITY.
non. c. l.. yALLANDIGHAM on THE Is-
SUES OF THE DAY.


Mr.. Vallandigham addressed a meet
ing on the 9th inst, at Middletown,
Mahoniug county, Ohio, on The Issues
Of the Day From report OF the
speech in the Cincinnati Commercial,
we quote the following on the subject
Of negro equality aud suffrage:
II base my opposition TO negro equal
ity on this: that God has created a
barrier between the two races and
what God has put asunder man has not
power to bring together Those marks
| have indicated may be the semblance
of that which is within to denote that
ineapacity for combining that race aud
mipgling it into one with ours, and for
that reason there ought to be no attempt
to raise the negro to political or civil
equality. He is man as you arc--l
don't say he is brother. Laughter. ]
lie is mau-God made hun man--
but il follows not that He made him Of
the same elevated race by no means.
Yet as member Of the human family
he is entitled to all the protection that
the alien has for the Ave years follow

much longer he sees fit to live here With.

rights, / would give them to him; and

mas been denied to some oil us-ths
right of trial by jury aud the right Il
testify in courts. L would give him a
fair trial when accused Of an offence
and convict or acauit him according !,
the laws Of the land. But the question
Of political rights lies far deeper Thi,
country was settled by white men, ant
developed by white men, and the impos
sibility of miueling these races, the ut
ter failure of such attempts of the kint

by the Union State Convention, and the line
breaking down soon after, depriving us of fur

reason to doubt that everything was on the
square, and as a consequence naturally endorsed
the nomination. Since then it is said that trick
cry and fraud was perpetrated and the real choice
of the Union party defeated by minority. No
one seems to deny that John Bidwel was the
choice. Parks, as chairman of the State Cen
trail COMMITTEES, in connection with proxies held
in San Francisco, acted unfairly in apportioning
representation to the interior counties, and again

belonged to the Convention of admitting those
