Reveries of a Bachelor. Well, this is what 1 call enjoyment. If isn't everyone who understands the pliiloso- 1 phy of laving back at his ease, in an arineliuir, with feet upon the fender, and puffing a i real Havana of Wnsserman'B assure you.

It is only a real, genuine bachelor, i and withal of many years' standing, who can truly enjoy himself. Now there's Tompkins, lie can't enjoy himself; his mind is filled with thoughts of crinoline divinities, and he can no more recall his thoughts and answer a plain straightforward question than ho can lift himself over a stake-and-rider fence by his bootstraps. Glory to (iideon lam a bachelor, 1 and shall ever slick to the craft, though 1 1 should be doomed to have my head punctured in the world to come, to pay for it. Here I can sit in undisturbed solitude, secure from scolding women, crying babies, nervous attacks, and the thonsand-and-one ills which poor married men are heirs to. What if my room is somewhat disordered 1 "What if those papers on tho table do lie somewhat disarranged Wlmt if those curtains are dusty, and do not fall in just a) many systematic folds, like an old maid's tresses on washing day? And what if there is a collection of miscellaneous articles under the shoes, dilapidated garments, and the like Wl.at does all this signify Things are surely much more easily found in this condition, when wanted, than if everything was arranged methodically by the rule ot three." A woman would tell me that the smoke from iny as it rises, curls in such frraccful blacken the ceiling.

Circular to the Registers and Receivers of Washington Territory.

CENERAL LAND OFFICE, October 30, ISG2. GENTLEMEN Annexed is A copy of the net of Congress approved May 20, 18G2, entitled, "An act to secure homesteads to actual settlers on the public domain." Tlie privileges of tliis law are extended to every person who is the head of a family, or who has arrived at the age of 21 years, and is a citizen of the United States, or has declared his intention of becoming such, and who has done no disloyal act, direct or indirect. An exception, however, to the foregoing requirement as to age is made in the 6th section of the act, in favor of any person who has served not less than fourteen days in the Army or Navy of the United either regular or volunteer, during actual war, domestic or foreign. Any person coming within the foregoing requirements will, from and after January 1, have the right to enter one quarter section, or a less quantity, of unappropriated public land, upon which said person may hive tiled a pre-emption claim, or which, at time of application, is subject to pre-emption at per acre; or eighty acres, or less, of such unappropriated lands, at 82..10 per acre. The law requires the land "to he located in one body, in conformity to the legal subdivisions of public lands, and alter the same shall have been surveyed." Any persou owning and residing on land may enter contiguous land, which, with that already owned and occupied, shall not exceed ill the iiggregato one bundled and sixty acres.

The applicant for tho benefit of the law is required by the 2d section to file with the Register bis "application," which should designate the tract desired to be entered. He must also lile his affidavit," to lie taken bptore the Register or Receiver, setting forth the facts which bring him within the requirements ot tho law, nnd adding that the application is made for his or her exclusive use and benefit, and that said entry is made for the purpose of actual settlement and cultivation, and not, either directly or indirectly, for the use or benefit of any other person or persons whomsoever." Tho said 2d section of tho act further provides for the issue of patent to the applicant, after five years' settlement; also for tho succession iu case of his death, ami for the tale of the land for tho benefit of infant heirs, but for no other purpose. The 3d section requires the to enter all applications on the Tract Hooks and of his office; to keep a register of entries, and make returns to this office with tho proof. Tho 4th section declares lands ncquircd under this act not liable for debts contracted prior to the issuing of the patent. The sth section makes abandonment of the land for more than six any time within tho five years, causo ot forfeiture.

Tho (itli section forbids the acquirement of more than one quarter section, by any individual, under this act; protects existing preemptions, repeating the provisious of section 1 in regard to pre-emptions, giving thorn all the privileges of tho net; allowing the Registers and Receivers tho same compensation for lands entered under this act which they are entitled to when the same quantity is entered with money one-half to be paid by the person making the application, at tho time of so doing, and the other half on the issue of tho certificate, to be paid by the person to whom it may be issued, but not to enlarge the maximum compensation now allowed by law. The 7th section stipulates the penalty for false swearing. The Bth section permits claimants to pay lor their entries at any time beforo the expiration of five years, and obtain patents, upon making proof of settlement and cultivation as renuired by the pre-emption laws. You will accordingly be prepared, on the Ist day of January next, to receive applications and affidavits, (forms A and li, herewith.) The Register should test the correctness of the application" by his records, being careful that the tract applied for shall be of the class and quantity stipulated by the Ist section of tho act, lying in one body, and comprising legal subdivisions; and will then append thereto his certificate of its regularity. 1.

The applicant will then be allowed to enter the tract applied for, by paying to the Register the 810 fee stipulated in the act; and the farther payment, as commissions of Register and Receiver, of one-half of one jter cent, to each upon the cash value of the quantity of lapd applied for; the other half of the one per as commissions to said officers, not to be paid until the certificate is issued, when tho party obtaining such certificate is to mako that payment. 2. The Receiver will issue Homestead Duplicate Receipts for each entry, (form 0, herewith one to be delivered to the applicant, tho other returned to this office. A new and independent series of numbers to ba adopted for such receipts. 3.

No certificate is to bo issued at the time of entry, nor until the expiration of five years therefrom, (seo first proviso, sec. 2,) except in the case of a sale for the benefit of infant heirs (second proviso, sec. 2,) or where pavment in fill! id mado, as provided by sec. 8, jn which cases certificates must be issued. 4.

In tho case of a sale for the benefit of infant heirs, the certificate (form herewith) will issue in the name of the purchaser, upon evidence of sale, made in obedience to a decree or order of a court haviug jurisdiction in such matters. 5. In case where full payment is proposed to be made by i party under the Bth section, he must first make proof of settlement and cultivation, as required by existing preemption laws and instructions; whereupon you will require his homestead duplicate receipt to be surrendered, and will admit the pre-emption as a new and original entry, and issue pre-emption certificate and receipt, as in ordinary pre-emption cases, returning the same with the monthly abstracts. The Register will take care, however, to muko a note on the face of the certificate, and the Receiver on the receipt, showing the change of entry from homestead donation to pre-emption purchase under said Bth section. 0.

Each entry will be registered in the tract books in red ink, noting opposite the entry, on the left hand margin, 11. Act of May 18G2," also in red. 7. In reference to the requirement of the yd section of the act, the Register will procure a suitable bound volume, to be denominated Register of Act of May 20, 1861," having ruled columns, showing number of application; date of same; description of tract, with area; name of applicant. The ruled columns of the Register" should occupy the lolt-hand page only, reserving the opposite page for Remarks and allowing four lines space for each entry, on which will be noted all particulars in regard to subsequent action, especially in cases of salv for the benefit of infant heirs, and of pre-emption proof and full payment, under section 8.

8. the entries in tho Register" be summed up to correspond with monthly abstract, which must bo returned by tin; Receiver and certified by the Register as correct, and as agreeing with the original ap()lications and with his Register of Entries." Such returns, of course, to ho separate and distinct i'roni ordinary returns of sales and locations. 9. In reference to the the commissions of the Register and for services under this act, as regulated by the Oth same allowance is to be made as at present on cash entries; that is, each entry is to bo estimated ns sale of so much laud at SI or $2 50 per acre, and payment made thereon as indicated under the first head in the foregoing. Iu order that proper effect may be given to the beneficent provisions of tho law, 1 request your careful observance of those provisions, and the instructions contained iu the foregoing.

Chickens Coming Home to Roost. Tho President, in Lis late message, refers with admirable fairness and good temper to numerous cases of dispute between this nation and foreign powers, which have unavoidably arisen since the outbreak of civil war, resulting from unintentional violation of neutral rights under circumstances suro to occur whenever the ordinary international and commercial relations are disturbed by hostilities on sea and land.

The President is determined that no punctillins or sensibilities RIMM prevent our Government from doing exact justice in all clear cases, and the doubtful ones he proposes to submit to a convention of tho foreign ministers for examination and adjustnvL'iit. This proposition litis been made especially to Great Britain, France, Spain and Russia, and by tliem kindly received, though not formally adopted. The President intimates that we have cause for complaint, as well as foreign powers; and this fact, though he does not say what the cause is, will operate to make the acceptance of his friendly and reasonable proposition more probable and satisfactory. especially on tho part of (treat ltritain. -Most of the complaints of violatiou of neutral rights or treaty stipulations made to our Government during tho civil war have been preferred by this power, ever more sensitive and captious than others, and especially so since the United States appeared to be in a position to render hectoring safe.

The latest complaints from this source arose out of Gen. Butler's summary method of dealing with Anglo-rebels in New Orleans, men who, while demanding protection as British subjects niul neutrals, were doing all in their power to help the enemies of tho United States; imitating on a small scale the example of the llritisu Government itself, which declaring itself neutral 011 paper, makes its practice redound to the interesfof the rebellion, refuses to pormit United States war vessels to put into her harbors for coal and supplies, but gladly admits Confederate privateers, allows them to recruit their crews, and consents to the construction and sailiug of more like them. But lately the of this sinister power are coming home to roost. The privateer Alabama, built by British mechanics, in a British port, with British money, and manned in part by British sailors, has with true piratical impartiality proved upon British nnu American commerce alike. Her recent depredations iuvolve tho rights of no less than three European Italy and aro likely to become a subject of special interest to all maritime nations.

One, at least, of the ships burned by tho Alabama was loaded entirely with the property of British subjects, bound for a British port; while others had cargoes belonging to tho subjects of several different powers. The sealed bills of lading and consular certificates to prove these facts were presented to the commander of tho Alabama, who disregarded them, took what ho wanted nud tired tho vessels. At tho beginning of the war tho United States offered to agreo to a previous proposition of Groat Britain and France, that privateers should bo considered ns pirates and treated accordingly. Great Britain declined the offer, and is subjected to the humiliating necessity of being held responsible before civilization for theso barbarous infractions of its nsages and laws. The destruction of American vessels loaded with the property of neutrals, by pirates sailing under Iter flag, who went from hor own shores in violation of the restrictions prescribed by municipal as well as international laws, has been made the subject of complaint and protest by Secretary Seward, whose views upon the subject have long ere this been fully made known to the British Government through Minister Adams.

With this cause of real grievance on our part, England will be inchnnd to a more patient and reasonable mood with reference to complaints against us, arising from accident and misapprehension. If it should prove that she has really, as reported, dispatched some of her fleet to aid in capturing the pirate Alabama, the way to an amicable adjustment of international differences will be still farther and her reputation with loyal Americana be repaired somewhat. TIIB PRESIDENT AND dispatch dated at Washington, November 23, says In the courso of a general conversation yesterday, touching the recent elections, Lincoln, as we learn directly from one of the gentlemen present, auid in effect, that the result of the elections had in no way modified his views regarding the wisdom of emancipating all the slaves within the rebel lines on the first of January; that he had issued the proclamation of September 22d after long ana thouehful deliberation, and that lie should stand by no reason why be should not do so. Lincoln introduced this topic himself. A THOUGHT.

They are the only persona who in one aenae retain it always, and they furnish other pareasts with the same idea.

A Territorial Mineralogist EDITOR STANDARD mineral resources of the Territory which haVe just commenced being developed by the hardy miner, and the extent and value of which are as yet unknown, induces the writer to call the attention of tha Honorable Legislature to the subject, as being one preeminently within their province to assist in by Irise and liberal legislation, and to this end he would respectfully suggest that a Territorial man, who, from his experience and learning in that peculiar science, would command the respect and confidence of the and whose duty it should be to examine ana test tho various evidences of minerals and metals that abound especially in the districts east of tho Cascade mountains, who should report the result of his examinations and investigations to a Board of Commissioners, consisting of the Governor, Secretary of Territory and Speaker of the House of Representatives, once in overy two months; said report to be made public in one or more newspapers of the Territory, for the benefit and information of the community, not only here but elsewhere. This proposition is by no means novel, and experience in several of tho older States of the Union has proved that the published researches of a State Mineralogist, have tended more than anything else, to develop the resources of several States, instance lowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Georgia and tho Carolinas. The lead uiiues of Galena, the gold mines of Carolina and Georgia, would have probably been as much in their infancy this clay, ns is tho inexhaustible mineral wealth of this Territory now, had it not been for the researches of competent State Mineralogists, and this alone presents an unanswerable argument why liberal Territorial legislation should be had. The writer of this, has seen unmistakable evidence of rich mineral wealth in the vicinity of the Cascades, where, to use the words of Columbia Ijancastcr, the Columbia river, like the principles of civil and religious liberty, haa hurst the basaltic formation of the Cascade range of mountains, and emptied itself into the broad Pacific." Indeed, any one who has visited the mining district cast of the Cascades, will bear me out in tho assertion, that the vast mineral wealth, independent of the gold, is as yet comparatively unknown. It may be argued that Congress is about to divide the Territory, and that such an officer would be of benefit only to tho mining regions; let this bo granted, still the existing laws of tho Territory would temporarily be adopted in the new Territory to be formed, and the General Government, with its accustomed magnauimity, would doubtless assume any debt contracted by the Territory for such a laudable purpose.

The existence of unbounded wealth, all north of the States of Sinaloa and Sonorn, liar been known and published in written by the Jesuit Missionaries over 150 years ago; indeed, all the then known portions of the Pacific coast north of tho gulf of California, were denominated California, a name, wliich in itself, signifies volcanic mineral wealth, its derivation being from two Latin words (calida fomax) of which the above remark is a liberal construction. Let then the Legislature by wise enactment forestall the General Government in this matter, it will certainly redound to their credit, and in after years and future generations the fame and wisdom of this Legislature will becomo proverbial for their foresight and enlightened of public policy, recollecting in the words of the poet that All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body nature Is, and God tbe soul; Who lives in nil life, extends through all extent, Breathes o'er all nature, operates unspent: Warms in the sun, refreshes in the breeze, Olows In the stars, and blossoms in the trees; Ilreathes in the soul, informs the mortal part, As full, as perfect, in a hair ns heart; As full, as perfect. In vile man that mourns, As the rapt seraph that adores aud burns. To Ilim, no high, no low no great, no small. He bounds, connects He governs, equals all." LB MOI.N Noli.

The time has come, when the organisation of a New Territory or State must tnke place. To continue in this embryo position any longer, is detrimental to the interest of our people and to the government to which we belong. The wheels of government must be set in motion in our midst, in order to develop our innumerable resources, and to pre security and justice to those who luive adopted it an tbeir future We, as journalists, would be recreant to cur duty to the citizens of this portion of Washington Territory, and to our country at large, if we did not lift high our voice, and deuimid the powers that be, to give us a form of government, of Rnitne description, at once.

Should) at some future day, the people of Wasco and Baker counties desire to come into our new tory, they must first get permission of Oregon and of Congross, and then they can enjoy all of our privileges. In tUs section of the ritory, we hare addnwed a memorial, to which will be attached about two thousand names of voters, praying the Senate and House of Representatives, in Congress Assembled, to form a new Territory, and give us an organization at once. Judge Lauder intends to visit Washington this winter, and will be instructed to go before the Territorial Committee of both branches of Congress, and with a statement of facts, urge a division as of vital importance. We are requested to ask of the Legislature, and of our Representative, and all other parties, in recommending, or writing to Congress or to their friends, to give us one of ths two following names of Idaho or Lafayette; either will suit us. Idaho signifies the gem of the mountains," and Lafayette was a twin-brother of Washington in tie "days that tried mens' souls."
