The attachments formed in early life are
generally more enduring than those formed
in latter years. Almost every person looks
back with melancholy pleasure, with a
smile or tear, upon the sun bright hours of
childhood aud youth. Surrounded unto
overwhelming by the noise and strife OF an
eager, contending world, fancy will, at times,
bear him back to the hallowed spot of his
birth. The lofty woods again re echo with
the mingled shouts Of mirth 4; again he sports
with his companions beneath each well-re-
membered tree in the orchard ; and again he
sits with the loved and loving ones around
the wide old hearth, while the joyous hours
are unheeded. There sits the father, the
mother, the sister, the brother, each in their
tavorite place in the circle and as kind and
careful as ever before. The big, bright fire
sparkles and glows emblematical Of the glow
in the hearts of those by whom it is now
surrounded. Perchance there will come,
too, recollection of one dearer still than the
chosen home circle; and again beneath the
placid rays of the pale moon, he holds the
white hand confdingly within his own, and
listens to the transporting sounds of that
voice. But reality brings him back, and
tells him that the fire upon that hearthst0ne
has long since died out, the flame Of life
has been extinguished by the hand of death,
and that death has led away with him that
radient form.


sand should he seek his once loved home,
Where is the hand that cropped the ,wers!
Unheard their clock repeats its hours,
Cold in the earth within their bowersi
lis echoes and lis empty tread,


Would sound like voices Of the dead.'


The old homestead is deserted! Ruin has
here had its perfect work. Where once sat
the happy sire, and in the corner where the
sister nestled, now the horrid form Of the
rattlesnake is coiling. The flower garden is
overgrown with weeds, and the trees of the
orchard are moss covered and decayed, or
entirely passed away. But he refuses to
think Of it thus: he reflects upon it ouly as
the abode Of contentment, and the home Of
love; and wherever fate may fear him on
through the world, THIS must ever remain
the green spot, the one oasis in the desert
of life But he gives it only thought; he
dashes from him the tear which has uncon
sciously trickled down his cheek His motto
is Onward, he looks not back, or he may
be transformed into monument of regret
more immovable than the pillow Of sal
which was once Lots wife, he nerves hiu
again for the combat, and hastens on, for

rancor in that hour of cord ial reunion
let there remain no seed of future discord
! in the church but let the proceedings of


that high body bear evidence to the abuu-


dant love and charity that filed it.
! Such he felt was the real sentiments OF
those around him, and hence he favored
| the discussion that he knew must elicit it.


Just and wise cation he believed would
follow the debate To the caus of the


war he would Lo: refer. There, ss in all


other large bodies, different political
opinions were entertained, and these he
did not wish to involve in controversy, yet
he could not and would not refrain from


saying, and saying emphatically, too, that
whatever might have been the organ of


this unhappy contest, theis seemed to be
abroad in the land forgetfulness or dis
regard of the wise policy and glorious
principles of our fathers-a neglect of
those essential elements of Republican
liberty taat wer the life of the state and
rnckless spirit or headloug theory-which
had plunged our country into gigantic
difficulties.


Our sins--the sins of the whole land
had invited our present troubles, and it
would be well, in the question now before
the house, to avoid, if possible, the fatal
error of ascribing all evil to one source,
and to place upon the record that which
three years hence they would bitterly
regret to see there. Let not the idle
pastime Of issuing paper bull against the
blazing comet be repeated by so grave a
body, bat let those things (which are not
of the church take care Of themselves in
other chanels Let the bonds OF brother
hood so remain that on another day we
may meet our Southern brethren once
more, and drown the remembrances of
past differences in the tears of heartfelt
reconciliation.


For his part he has conscientiously
and frankly, under strong convictions of
duty to his country, and animated by
undying iealty to her happiness progress,
from the very first, opposed the extrava-
giant action OF those especially welded
TO the war, yet he desired just as earnestly
to see the church made unmistakable be-
fore the South and the whole world
But, in whatever action the convention
might propose to take, he conjurcd it to
deal with our Southern brethren as chill
dren of the same Father, as members of
the same fock-as fellow, countryuen
once, as such to be again as Christ an
men.


In conclusion then, disclriming all in
tention or desire to call up any question
not conducive to the best interests of the
Church, he would again express the hope
that the resolution might be fully and freely
discussed

of this victory is to be measured, not by the
number of men killed and wounded on either

success, but by q consideration Of the conse-
qucnces if Lee had been victorious and routed

stock Immediately became exhausted and the
postal service became seriously embarrassed,
the department being rendered dependent upon
the daily manufacture to comply with the re-
QUESTIONS of postmasters.


This difficulty has been still further increased
by the trouble given by soiled and defaccd
stamps. AS soon as il was found that the latter
passed without observation, chemical ingenuity
soon furnished the dishonesty disposed with
the means of removing the ink deiacing mark
used in the post Office, and Of thus circulating
them. TO discourage as much as possible the
further use Of postage stamps as currency, the
notice to which we refer has been issued. For
the future sales OF stamps will be limited to
such only as may be needed by the public for
the prepayment of postage.


If these regulations had been further delayed
the service Of the department would soon be
seriously obstructed. Postage stamps were be-
coming so scarce that even the railroads, which
were at one time flooded by them, now scarcely
get enough to make change. OF course the new
postal currency issues and the small denonlina-
ton Treasury notes will, in short time, render
them superhuous. In the meanwhile the Post
Office Department his to take care that its
service is not hampCred by AN insufficient
supply of them. But the whole difficulty could
easily have been remedied If the new postal
currency had been put more rapidly and abun-
dainty in circulation.

l left Florence two weeks ago. Whatever
may be the condition of that camp next season,
it was dull enough when | left People were
leaving it fast and trains of merchandise and pro-
visions were pouring in, as the merchants expect
great markets from Warren's diggings next sea-
son. There was some talk of the Indians being
hostile in that region and along the Salmon, on
account of which several of the miners on the
Salmon had left. But on the whole, the white
ruffians that infest the diggings a great deal
worse than the Indians. Robbery after robbery
is being committed with impunity, and no wonder
when murder is allowed to go free punishment.
But the greatest and best planned robbery that
has vet taken place was committed few nights
ago on one of our best and most useful citizens,
the news of which has Just been brought in. 1t
appears that on Thursday night week Dr. G. A.
Noble Of Florence, was robbed of no less than four
hundred ounces of gold dust. The particulars l
have not heard; but there is no reason to doubt
the truth of the report. He was robbed between
Lewiston and Orc Fino, where he was going to
get stock of drugs which he had stored. The
opinion Is lnat ne nad oeen spoIeu from oalmon,
as he was supposed there to have great deal of
money about him, as he had large practice in his
profession.


The big paying claims about the Salmon, are
nearly washed out, and the generality of claims
there are so well worked that the great crop of
gold has been reaped But there will be good
deal of mining there for years to come. The
stores are being well supplied with provisions for
the winter and Spring so that there will not be
another winters starvation. Yours,

The editor of the Montaineer proposes,
in imitation of proposition in California
to hold an editorial State convention, that
the editors Of Oregon go and do likewise.
Among the objects of the convention, he
suggests & the fixing Of standard of edi-
torial etiquette He says,


cat present there is great lack of courtesies
that should characterize the profession" and "the
press Itself does not command the respect it
should"


We think SO too at least so far as the
courtesies' are concerned; and if on
meeting in convention, the editors will "fx
standard of etiquette" that will prevent a
certain member of the corps in Oregon
from retailing in public print all the pri-
vate ISLANDERS that he may hear in relation
to the wives of men with whom he fails to
cope in honest debate, they will have ac-
compHshed some good. AS the standard,
of course, could apply only to those who
have no standard of their own, we would,
if we ere in Oregon, advocate the holding
of the convention, and the fixing of a
standard that would confne such.imbecile
members to a position of common humani-
ty and decency Speaking of the editor of
the Salem iAper, the Momtaineer says:


The editor of the Statesman, from his prom
inence, is very well known but even in his case.
we believe ais cotempoyaries would think better
of him had they the pleasure of meeting him IN
social intercourse. OF the balance of newspaper
men, who knows anything ?"


What an admission and oh, lord what
a compliment to the other eds. of the State !!
:. Who knows anything p Gentlemen, by
all means hold an editorial convention; fix
"a standard of editorial etiquette, and
give the editor of the Mountaiaeer rule
of speech that he may not transgress the
bounds of propriety, and then settle for
him the question, OF the balance of news
paper men, who knows anything?'


He proceeds with his compliments:


s'His Satanic Majesty is said not to be half so
black as he is painted, and we doubt not that the
editors of the State in Convention assembled,
would be found to be very far removed from
group of Kilkenny cats"


No doubt they would, by several thou
sand miles; and wouldn't they exhibit a
proper appreciation of the lower order of
music by getting as far away from the cats
as possible?
