supplying our own valley and the large
surrounding mining country with syrup and
sugar, in case surplus should ever be pro-
duced, it would find a ready market in the
Willamette and other valleys west of the
mountains where it is believed the cane can
not be successfully raised. a mill, such as
are in general use in the northern and
western States can be bought for $3.50 to
$500 and by forming Deighborhood com
panies to purchase them the cost would be
made very light upon individuals. We no
tice, by our exchanges, that a patent has
recently been issued for mill ivented in
Cincinnati, Ohio, which it is stated can be
put up and sold for $3.50, and which is ca
pable of doing as much work as the more

and it is feared that they have encountered the
severe storm now raging. Great anxiety is espe-
cially manifested for the safety OF the Nahant.


THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUs.-As there is
great inquiry in the city about the caucus of
the Republican members of the House of Re-
presentatives last night, we will state that the
meeting was largely attended, but nothing was
done of present interest OF the lubllc, but OF
the greatest importance to the government and
the Union.


The n. 7. World, speaking Of late move
ments of Horace Greeley and bis friends, has
the following remarks, declaring that these ul-
tras are the Northern Disunion party:


The rabid radicals Of the Greeley school would
be glad of colorado excuse for urging the
discontinusnce Of the war and the recognition
of southern independence. If they do not
succeed in this second attempt to oust Mr.
Seward, it will not surprise us to STE them,
within the next month. boldly take ground in
favor of peace. They have for months pro-
fessed to believe that the salvation Of the Union
IS staked on the success Of the emancipation
policy. The evidence is already before their
eyes that this policy is futile. They will I'M
pute the failure to q lack of good faith in car
rying it out IF Mr.. Lincoln does rot reorga-
nize the cabinet, they will declare that there is
no longer any hope for the Union, and that It
is useless to protract an expensive, Wasteiul,
sanguinary and hopeless war. Having already
given up the Union unless it can be saved by
emancipation, it is but a short step to give 1t
up altogether. The excuse will be that the
cabinet is 50 constituted that emancipation can
not have fair trial, and that 1t and the Union
are consequently destined to common failure.

John H. Boyle, of Stuart's cavalry, was cap

We publish today, as matter of public interest
all the papers in the case of John N Irwin, released
on 2 writ of ha1sds dOTpts by Chief Justice Pear
son, and afterwards arrested and held at Camp
Holmes. -


The decision of the Chief Justice, it seems to us,
is founded in reason and justice and is true ex-
position of the law on the subject We concur
with the Hillsboropgh Recorder that q 4"


"The first conscript law, if it intended to pre-
serve for future use all under forty five years, was
defective. 1t should have provided that no substi-
tute under that age should be taken; otherwise
great injustice may be done to individuals. If
man pays ten or fifteen: hundred dollars, or more
as has been IN some cases. for substitute, who is
accepted by proper authority, and gets fuH dis
charge, would it not conflict with justice and fair
dealing to call upon him in a month or two after
wards, to fall into the ranks, because new law IS
passed calling into service class of more advanced
agee As well might he be called to fill up the time,
if his substitute were killed in battle or should die
in camp" e. ': .-':: % . " 2
The Supreme Court of this State will meet in
this City on Monday next when it is understood a
case will be made up and decided involving the
principle in the Irwin case. If the Court should
sustain the Chief Justice in his decision the Cover

The best printing ink is made as follows: Take
ten or twelve gallons Of lnSeed oil, set on fire in
iron pot Of twice the capacity to hold the quan


tity stated heat to boiling, and stir at the same
time If it does not take fire, kindle it with a
piece of burning paper held in the cleft Cf long

to every quarts of oil, stir the mixture till the
rosin is dissolved, and then add II lbs. Of brown
soap, cut in slices, Cautiously and again stir till
mixed, placing the pot once more over the fire;
remove cover and set aside. The foregoing consti-
tutes the varnish; the ink itself is composed of
q ounces, lamp black, 81 lbs ivory black or bone
black lbs., put them in a suitable vessel and mix
gradually with the warm varnish. This mixture,
however, still requires further grinding in mill
upon stone slab with a muller 1t is to be re.
membered that hot weather requires thicker var
nsh than cold, and large letters require thinner
ink than small /; hence the preparation of the

varnish may be prepared for the time and use de-
manded. % .....' ~

the regulations of public men-ac,
qualntlng him with the reputation of new
members-and his sagaeity IN discern
ing character, important requisites in
appointing the committees of the House;
his executive tact, qualifying him to
keep the complicated machinery of the
House harmoniously, steadily and vigor-
ously at work all recommend him as
peculiarly the fit person for that impor-
tant station. In his case the office is
seeking the man, from pervading sense
OF the Importance of having the House

Once radical and extremist on the sub.
ject of abolitionism, Ge,rit Smith, Of New


York, has changed his course sufficiently
to give utterance to words like these, in a
speech at Albany, on Tuesday:


II have said We must insist upon the
unconditional submission Of the rebels
Opposition. to the rebels must also be un-
conditional. We must make no conditions
on behalf Of the Republican, Democratic
or Abolition parties. We must make no
conditions. Ii the rebellion triumphs, let
all else die--for all family, wealth, party
all would be worthless without country


The rebellion must be put down at what,
ever cost, or whatever sscriice The Re-
publican or Democrat who is intent only
on helping his party is in league with reb-
els. Are there AbolitiOnists who will not
go for crushing treason, unless the Gov.
crnment shall pledge itself to prosecute the
war until slavery is abolished? Let me
say to them, have no sympathy with you.
| know you only as enemies to my country,
The true doctrine is--lct come what may
of temperance, of Abolitionism, Of Repub.
licanism, Of Democracy, the rebellion must
and shall be put down. 1t is not now
down, only because We have not been as
earnest in putting it down as the rebels
have been in putting it up. We are in this
war to be brothers. We are to know no
man by his party name, but only as an
anti rebellion man. In tho course Of my
long life have had to do something against
intemperance and slavery; but since the
bombardment Of Sumter have been ready
to work with all against rebellion n-to work,
if you please, with the greatest drunkard
on my right, and the greatest pro slavery
man on my left. Ii Abolitionists refuse to
work with me without some pledge for the
abolition Of slavery, it is little to their
credit that they allow the sin Of slavery to
blind their eyes to the greater sin cf r. bell.

General Il JameS M. Tutt1e.


Reached his home in this place Monday
noon. He left the army on short leave
Of absence.--only twenty days we believe
and reached the State entirely ignorant OF
any action taken with regard to placing
his name before the people for Governor,
and with very decided determination not
to have his name used in connection with
any office save the one he fills with such
distinguished ability but the General found
awaiting his arrival numerous letters from
all parts Of the State and from all classes of
men, urging him to allow his name to be
used by the people, and to serve them il
elected, giving reasons and suggesting con
siderations having reference to the peace
and tran npuility of the State, the safety Of
the people, and many other matters of
deep and vital importance to them in the
present state of our public affairs.


Gen. Tuttle recognizes the right Of the
people to his services, yields to the, uni
versally expressed wishes, consents to the
use Of his name; and will serve them il
elected, with the fidelity and impartialty
that have ever characterized all his public
acts. An opportunity is thus offered the
people Of avoiding the dangers that bitter
partisan strife already rendered so immi.
nent, and brought so near.


We sincerely believe that efforts to place
the government Of the State in the hands
Of any representative of extreme views of
either political party in the present critical
crisis in our affairs are most dangerous and
most unwise, and may precipitate an arm
ed conflict that will imperil our lives. our
liberties, and all we possess.


Cool, thoughtful, conservative, conscien-
tious and just, the election of Gen. Tuttle
to the office Of Governor, will at once calm
all fears, allay all strife and save our belov.
ed State from the dreadful calamity of that
domestic strife which we fear will overtake
our people unless they are wise in time.


The record Of Gen. Tuttle with regard to
the present rebellion is a part Of the histo
ry OF his country, and is familiar to all.
His personal character is without spot or
b'emish, and what man, or what party can
ask for better man to be Governor Of the
State, or what possible objection, political
or otherwise cah any man, or class of men,
or political partisans, even, have to Gen.
Tuttle. In his hands an even balance
would be held between all men and all par
ties, 1etthe door against all dangers
and A,stfie. -,
