THE SCHOOL OF SUFFERING.


Savior. beneath thy yoke,
My wayward heart doth pine;
All unac.ustomed to the stroke
of love divine;
Thy ehastisements. my God, are heard to bear,

"Perishing child of clayl

Long have marked thy evil way
How thou hast erred.
Yet. fear not-by my own most holy name.

"Praise to Thee, Gracious Lord
/ fam woIld be at rest
oh nuw falAll Thy gracious word.
And make me blest.
My soul would lay her burden down
And take with joyfulness the promised crown"
"Stay! thou shortsighted child;
There is much first to do
Thy heart so long by sin defled,
/ must renew.
Thy will must here be taught TO bend to mine,
Or the sweet peace Of heaven can ne'er DO thine.
"Yes, Lord-but Thou canst soon
Perfect Thy work in me,
Till like the pure, calm summer noon
shine by Thee;
A moment shine--that all Thy power may trace,
Then pass in stiffness to my Heavenly place"
"Ah coward soul confess
Thou shrinkest from my cure
Thou tremblest at the sharp distress
Thou must endure;
The foes on every hand for war arrayed
The thorny path in tribnlation laid
"The process slow Of years,
The discipline of life
OF outward woes aud secret tears,
Sickness and strife -
The idols taken from thee one by one.
Till thou ean's dare 20 live with Ne alone"
''Some gentle souls there are,
Who yield unto Ny love,
Who, ripening fast beneath Ny care,

B utthou stiffneeked art. and hard TO rule, .
Thou must stay longer in afiietion's school,"

Oh that | hadthe lightning's wing,
From earth to fee
How can bear the heavy weight Of woes
Thine indignation thy creature throws"
''Thou ean'st not. oh, ny child !
So hear Ny voice again;
viii bear all thine anguish Wild,
Thy grief. thy pain

Ny smile shall cheer thee on thy heavenWa.d way.
In sickness viii be
/. Watching beside thy bed;
In sorrow thou shalt lean on Ne
Thy aehing head.
In every struggle thou shalt conquerer prove,
Nor death ITSELF shall sever from My love-"
"0h grace beyond compare
OhI love INST high and pure!
Savior begin--no longer SPAR;
| can endure.
Only youehsafe Thy grace, that may live
Unto Thy glory WHO ean'st so forgive"

BROWNSVILLE, Jan. IS, 1868.
Editor State Rights Democrat:
Pursuant TO an order issued from
headquarters at Albany, the "loyal-
lists" held meeting in this place on
the evening of the 23d inst The writ

which was put up about 80 hours be-
fore the time of meeting, stated the
object of the meeting 10 be 10 organ.
izc "Grant Club" Your correspon-
dent intended To be present, but learn
ing that only the faithful were admit
ted, and not wishing to intrudc, we
therefore did not make an effort TO
gain admission. Two of the "big uns"
from Albany, Mr. Dalton and Mr.
Wadsworth, | understand, were pres
ent, 10 enlighten and tell the faithful
of this dark corner what was necessa-
ry for the party 10 do in order to save
the rotten concern. They evidently
betrayed a want of confidence in the
"littie uns" of this precinct in being
able to organize a club TO meet the re-
quircments at headquarters. Ii is re-
ported that eight or ten of the faith
ful" were present, and the secrecy and
slyness exhibited on the occasion
brought to mind the days when Know
nothingism fiourished. The party arc
evidently betraying many secret mis-
givings as TO the future. The RAIDS
hcreabouts are dumb, while the Dem
ocrats are jubilant. As soon as the
present inclement weather moderates,
q call will will be made for the Demo
Gratis of this precinct to organize. The
Democracy are fully alive to the i'm
portance of the times, and will in this
precinct, as they have always done,
give good account Of themselves
Many of the conservative Union men
will vote with the Democracy. They
say that they will no longer vote with
a party who are opposed to the Consti-
tuition and the Union, and in favor of
negro equality, alias suffrage, unequal
robbers Of tho public treasury, &c.

Since my last communication l have

pected to fiad small tract If land lying
along the banks of some little mountain
stream aud about enough of it for some
fifteen or twenty families to fnd homes
upon; but instead, found the Ochoco
valley to be large and fertile Que. with
innumerable little valleys opening into IT,
and room for hundreds of farms. Aud
taken into connection with the valleys oD

in Benton county, Oregon.
have been over Boise and. Petite val
leys. and have no hesitation in saying
that there is more tillabIe land in Ochoeo
and Crooked river valleys than there is in
both of the others.
The valley is covered with tall rye grass,
and viewed from the hills. looks like one
great oat field, while the hills have an
abundance of bunch grass upon them.
Juniper trees can be had within one
half mile from any farm, and will have
to be used for frewood, while ir or Pine
can be obtained within eight miles of the
most distant farm, and generally within
two miles of the valley, all the way down.
Deer and beaver are very plenty. while
prairie chickens and grouse are abundant.
The cayotes are very numerous at present,
but by the use Of powder they can soon
be extermlnated.
There are at present six mon winteriDg
there. Mr. Burkhart, one of the most
influential and wealthy citizens Of Oregon,
is among them Mr.. Burkhart came to
Oregon in 1846, aud has seen Oregon
raise from barren waste to her present
proud position. The following named
gentlemen are also old pioneers Of Oregon
and men that any country should be
proud to own, viz :: Mr.. Barnes, Mr.
Burkhart, jr., Mr.. Smith, Mr.. Claypool
and Mr.. White. They have made sever
al thousand rails and built three houses,
but only occupy two of them on account
Of fear Of the Snake Indians. They are
we'll armed and would prove a match for
any band of Snakes that are liable to at
tack.
There was party offour men with me.
They all located claims and expect to re.
turn there early next spring.
The climate is very pleasant. The In
dams say snow falls during the night but
goes off the next day. Snow fell while

after falling. while the snow has been
about six inches deep at this Agency
Iduring the same time The road will al

trail across a spur of the Blue mountains
and thus made cutoff of about ten miles
Coming home we found the snow very
deep on these mountains, but managed t.

The distance from here to the Ochoc'

and by the KlauatRS md Lebanon roads
about fifty five miles. From Albany

SALEM, Oregon, Jan. 20, 1868.

SALEM, oregon, Jan. zO, 1900.
Editor State Rights Democrat:
We beg leave to present you, for pub.
lication, Gas per copy herewith enclosed }
the Preamble and Bylaws adopted by
the "Marion county Democratic Club
with full statement of its permanent or
ganization in this city, on Saturday even
ing Jan. 18th, under the most pleasing
circumstances, with such concord aud
good feeling predominating as would car
ry you back in fond remembrance TO
former years.
The very appropriate and well.timed
remarks ofour worthy President on taking
the Chair, were received with deafening
cheers. The eloquent appeals Of Hons.
G., X. Shiel, and Samuel Parker, and b. L.
Bonham, Esq, were received with such
enthusiasm as would remind you Of the
good old times-those good old times when
the Democratic party was victorious and
in its prosperity.
We have enrolled at this time one hun.
dred and seventy-two names--including
some who at one time were not with us,
but who DOW say, "Your faith shall BE-
our. faith"
Daniel Clark. Esq, Of this city, stated
to the Club that in the year 1862 he en-.
deavored to keep up the party oEganisa,
tion by getting all the Democrats OF this
city to meet in Convention, and the resuli
of bis zeal in the good work was FOURTEEN
names. Now we will bo able to enroll
three hundred and upwards of the citizens
Of Salem. That's what we call Ground
Swelii Eh?
We are happy to inform you that OIL
prospects are excellent. The enthusiasm
evinced on Saturday evening warrants oul
most sanguine expectations.
Hoping that the result Of our complete
success may be such as to encourage per
manent organizations of Democratic Clubs
throughout our county and State.--there
by taking those steps which will lead VI
on to victory in the coming campaign
we beg to subscribe

worked By coiled spring, but I have
reasons since to think | was mistaken.
I suppose it took two minutes to wind
it, when he mounted it and started it
By pulling up the steel bar. 1t moves
gradually of, so that for the first min
ute I could walk alongside of it; but
presently it started at the speed of
fast horse, and in a moment more was
st going round the curve Of the cir
Gle.
"I suppose you know the grand Ex-
position is series of concentric rings,
eacbsone devoted to a peculiar branch
of industry. The one the machine was
running on was the Numero Quatre sec
ton del Macaniques, and is among the
largest, measuring some yards more than
an English mile 1t seemed to me in
credible that he should have performed
the circuit in two minutes and twelve
seconds. A hearty clapping of hands
greeted the machine as it came careering
on, and gradually stopped without any
apparent trouble.
Il noticed the Emperor, generally tac-
iturn, loud in his applause, clapping
his hands as Justify as / did, and was
assured BY M. de n, that he had never
seen his majesty on any occasion before
show the least signs Of commendation.
The inventor then said he would put it
to its speed, but to do this he must give
the machine a start. he then wheeled
round, aud just like q jockey starting
horse, got it up to q maximum; and as
he passed us he seemed to be flying. The
circuit was made IN 6fty-eight seconds.
A new salvo Of applause met him as he
brought the machine to where the emper-
or was standing, and must say that /
| felt some Just emotion when the Emperor
took the legion of honor from his button
hole and placed it on the young inventors
breast.
IN. told me that its endurance, if I
may use the term, was extraordinary
that at its highest speed it would keep on
going for four hours. / was led to be-
Iieve that the mechanical power was the
real motive power. Anyhow, the secret
is well kept, the Emperor having, with
the inventor, the only knowledge of it.
NJ. also lold me that in Vincennes, q
battery of artillery was to be moved with
it, instead of horses.
"I may add that I saw four persons
mount it, and it moved much more
rapidly than carriage An interesting
experiment was made as to its capabilities
of going over rough country. Several
loads of dirt were shot owes the floor, and
it passed over it with apparent ease.
One thing remarked was that there was
perpendicular play in the wheels, and
that as q difficulty was surmounted, one
I wheel would be higher than the other,
while the body was on the plane.
81 think that it has been placed pur-
posely in retired part Of the Exposition
before this exhibition, so rs not to attract
too much attention, and I hear this morn-
ing that the Secretary of War has had it
removed from the Exposition.

dea."
