VOL. Legal Tenders. There still seems to be considerable oppo sition manifested by certain taking Treasury notes at par, who would otlt erwtsb enjoyed the confidence and praiseworthy reputation of their fellow-citizen for being pood Union men loyal citizens patriotic supporters of this Federal Government, had it not been for tic recent issuing of these "green-backs" or promises to pay by the Government which these former loud-mouthod patriots now refuse to late in exchange for their wares and merchantable stocks. Wo have recently heard of several of this class of falss professors, who while there wus no fear or probability of their being called upon to contribute either in mono; or goods to the support of tho Government, or aid and assist "PORTLAND, OREGON: MORNING, NOVEMBER 1, 1862. wuvurnuient, or am ana assist mnnf i i una his rival and enemy, Beuuett ptMerT.ng.thoton.rand credit of the nation, they were intensely loya and devotional to the great cause of truth und justice but now, forsooth, Jhoy sing another song they begin to show the or rather the black feather, 'When tbe time comes for them to demonstrate their faith am devotion, we find thoy are falso to their pro fessions.

They refuse to come up manfully to the aid of the nation, and cheerfully aecepl Uncle Sam's promises to pay as soon as the rebellion is quelled and peace and prosperity restored to the country. The; -seem to donb the ability, honesty and integrity of the Gov eminent, and regard these as liable to become trash or fit for nothing, like privat or local bank establishments incorporated ii several of the Atlantic States a few years ago mainly for tho purpose of swindling thi people out of their money or honest hard la bor But such is nut the case with these United StateSjTrcasury notes. They are justos good as gold and silver boars tbe name 1 imprint and stamp of the Government of the UnUeA States. Our Government the value of a certain piece of gold or a certain piece of silver, and these false friends are very ready and willing to take these pieces at their stamped value, without any discount. Recently the same Government has decided to place a certain Vjjuo-upon certain pieces paper, but thcsehpartiularty selfish dealers and distrustful money worshippers refuse to take this paper at its stamped value, notwithstanding the fact that 'they know that the value of their goods and wares is only established by the sufferage of this same Government.

What is property, and what is money -Property is substances or things used by man to promote life, health and happiness. We use property for the purpose of protection, assistance and pleasure, and its value to us is always subject to local laws regulations, usually according to the demand supply, and it must also be recollected that -the right to use or vend tbe various kinds ol property is also subject to local laws and regn lations. These very same merchants who seek 1 to set a value upon Uncle Sam's money, musl recollect that Uncle Sam bos a better right to sot a value upon theirwares and merchandise. The value of property is materially affected by the protection afforded by the Government to the owners thereof, and when no protection is afforded bnt little value dan ever attach to bpccies of property, even though its ute DC ever so mnch required. Money is either coin 01 notes, metal or add is known and uf ed as a circulating medium in commerce.

The value of mono; is also regulated by enstc and tho laws of the country. Some counti iies place more value upon a certain quantity, isize or weight of a piece of coin tbnn others, while a similar re- japer moiipy or bills of only the representative and when property is can be of little service gulation also affects change. Money of property, howevej not in, demand monf tu the bolder. Ilencjp it ii seen at a glance, that in order to obtain Tvealth, or rather, to Bfo and to peace, pleasure, happiness and comfort, we must look to tbe protection of property rather than to money alone. Now, do those individuals, who to fear or doubt tbe prospeota of this Government making good its promises, reflect that thej are adopting tho only means that could cause a full realization of their feara and doubts Do they reflect that if tbo Govern- Jnent should fail property -will become Do they reflect, that if tho promises of tbe Government are not fulfilled and these Treasury notes become mirthless, the value of their goods aod merchandise will also fall to nothing? Finally, do they realize the fact, that if the Government is destroyed, the protection and privilege which they now enjoy of holding and selling their goods will also be destroyed, and that, when thatprotec non and privilege censes, the value of thing they own goes down with it? Division of Wellington Territory.

Tbe Golden Age, of Out. 24th, has the following "Several of our leading citizens, after an interchange of views, touching our present position in Washington Territory, have deci- orito make a movement towards dividing the TeriUory, and a committee has been appointed to 'confer with the citizens in every inm- ing town ot camp east of the Cascades. We are glad to see this movement on the part of our citizens. We should much prefer to enter the Union as a State, but if we cannot do as oursista- State, California, did, lotus ontor the Onion as Territory of Idaho. The propose to lake Columbia river down to tbe Oregon State line, as the western f.

ooandary; tbe northern, eastern and south- era boundaries will be such States or Territo- pea as are contiguous to ns. This will give, JjT the Territory of Idaho about ono hundred thoBsand square miles, and in five years, we predict, it will prove one of the richest States the Confederacy." We don't just exaotly like the last word in flw above, but presume tbe editor used it ii general meaning, and not as applied to a particular Confederacy. We have but little doubt that a memorial will pass the Legislature of that Territory at its next session, ask- Congress a division, but whether the (Panted or not is a matter of lOMbt. That a division will ultimately' be have not the least doubt, but the JMient unsetUed state of the country may delay for years to come. A Forward Movement Demanded.

The current news in this issue ofjthe Ore- KMIOII indicates that tho newspaper Briga. diers aro again urging the regularly-constitu ted authorities to a forward movement. The catastrophe of Bull Run was precipitated by aduce fiom the some sources, and so great was the excitement among tho people in oon- scquence of this ill-timed meddling, that bev- eral gentlemen who were anxious to bo generals without commissions, and to dictate pmpaigns from their sanctums, were in dan- of being mobbed to death. Tho philosophic Qreeley had been one of these backstairs warriors--invincible in peace tind in- in at--who had lent the immense influence of his to the forward move- mercies of a New York mob by vouching for his loyalty-. To show tho injustice of tho peoplo, it should be remembered that-Bennett himself was nioro than suspected of traitorous sentiments but so groat was the revulsion that he became pdpnlar on tho solo basis of not having" approved the forward movement of the troops.

In fact, there aro too many who are volunteering their unasked--too many who wish to precipitate results, rather to satisfy their own impatience than from a proper appreciation of tho necessities of tho case. Tho class of men referred to aro only less dangerous than the open or covert unomies tho cause. Their impatience seems to breed endless mischief, if some practicn measures arc not adopted to prevent thoir ap peals to popular clamor. It is no less the duty of a'good citizen to wait the matured action of the Governn in military movements, than in the ordinary course of events where its action affects him self only. For our own part, we desire thi next movement to be decisive, aftd to that end wait patiently the completion offthe militsr arrangements necessary for the inrposo, stil hoping and believing that all is'for thebes that has been done, and that mighty fabric of constitutional liberty--reared wjti infinite toil and great and sanotifiet by its thousands of noble results, will not ignobly perish.

We feel more than ever assured rather, that the experience of tho past--th vigorous policy now inaugurated, the pair! otism, the courage and the numbers of tho Union host, are destined to a sudden and satisfactory conclusion. DESTRUCTIVE learn from Mr Sievers, who passed through Powell's Valley on Saturday lasf, that a terrible fire had de- destroyed a lar.ge amount of property in that neighborhood, anil was still raging with tearful rapidity in the woods. The fire was started on Friday Tafct, oq the'promises of Mr. Wing, who was woods, and soon engaged in clearing up a heavy growth timber and underbrush. The flames sprca from tho clearing into the ifter reached the house and barn of Mr.

Wing, burning them tho ground. Four other families were burned out in the neighborhood called Cednrvillo; also, a saw mill, the property, we believe, of Messrs. Harbaugh Stitzel, was burned to the ground. The fire was still raging when Mr. Sievers left, and fears were entertained that several other houses and improvements would bo destroyed.

Mr. Liniman's bouse was the only Only one saved at Cedarville, and ii was only saved by extraordinary exertions, A largo amount of property has been destroyed, including houses, bams, fencing and other im provements. No lices were lost as far as though one famil; came near smothering to death before assistance reached them. Another family only saved their clothing bv. bury ing it in the ground.

It will bo recollected that there was a high, wind blowing on that night, which-ccounts for the rapid spread of fires in the above instances. AKiin success of the "Democrats" at tbe recent eleo- tion in Ohio islt raid in the roar of tlio Administration. TJy postponing the draft and draining tbe State of loyal volunteers, the government has almost thrown that great Commonwealth into the hands of tho enemy --for the party that follows the lead of such a man as vallandigham must be inimical to National honor the integrity of thd Jnion.

Ohio has at least seventy-five thousand voters in the field and in their absenoo the minority, men who- do not approve of the war in soldiers are engaged, and who are ready to seal their devotion to the Constitution bv compromising with the traitors who have-trampled that instrument under foot, are enabled to elect a najority of the delegation to State in the next There may be irar Democrats" among those elected in Ohio; but the name of tbe old party hae Ucon so prostituted in tbe service of treason that a Jeinocratic success anywhere gives ground for apprehension. Still, the manifestation of Administiation strength in the New England States where elections have been held, and in Pennsylvania nnd Indiana, furnishes assurance that unless the friends of "Union as it under Buchanan for instance, inako arger gains at the November elections, the President will have tho support of a working majority of the lower House during tho re- nainder ol his term of office. Thus far, the )pposition have gained one member in Maine, in Indiana, four in Pennsylvania and live Ohio, and lost one in Oregon, leaving a net of ten. By vigilance and earnest labor, he effects of this raid in tho rear of tbe Union army may be Union. ANOTHER INVASION OF SOUTHERN have from New Orleans a curious correspondence about 'negro babies.

As Treasury Notes are under a law of Congress, coming into genera circulation, the information convoyed in thf statement may be of great servico. Bead preserve: From a circular issued by Salmon P.

Chase wo loai that where Treasury notes ape alleged to bo lost or destroyed, thoy can only bo paid after maturity upon proceeding as follows: First--Muke affidavit before an authorized magistrate, showing time, place and nil other material circumstances attending the loss or destruction of the notes, also tho number, date, rate of interest, period to which interest, if any, haa been paid thereon, in wfaose favor issued, whether endorsed and by wwm, whether was made blank or specially to some perttcm whose name musl be given, with all other necessary particulars in regard to the ownership disappearance of, the notes. jAfler this, the proof, if satisfactory, will be rerettga -to tho first damp, trailer, who will draw up the bond of indemnity that must be given. When the bond, properly filed, is sent baok to Washington, with it must go the advertisement of the loss of tho notes, and tho publisher's affidavit that it has'apjjeared in his newspaper threo cnn soontivo weeks. Unless tho proof showing actual destruction of any note ia direct ana conclusive, the amount will not then be paid until a year's delay after maturity of tho note, so as to give opportunity for any possible holder of the note to present it for redemp tion. WASTED TO CASH an in terior town in old Connecticut lives an odd character named Boa Haydon.

Pen has sonw good points, but lie will run his face when nnd where he can, and never pay. In the same town lives Jacob Bond, who keeps tho store at the Ben had a score there, but to get his pay was more than Bond was equal to. One day Ben made hia appearance with a bag nnd wheelbarrow. "Mr-Boud, I want to buy two bushels of corn, and I want to'pay you the cosh for it." "Very well," says Bond. And so they both go up stnita, and Bond puts up the corn, and Ben takes it down while Bond stops to close up his windows.

When bo got down he saw old Ben some ways from the door, malting for home. "Hallo. Ben? Ion said yon wanted to pay the cash for that cgrn." Old Ben sat down on one side of his barrow, and cocking his lead on one side, said: "That's all true', Mr. Bond, I do want to pay you the cash Tor the corn, b'lt I can't." i A SEA LION highly respectable gentleman of San Luia Obiapo suya that he recently succeeded in domesticating a sea lion.

It is asserted that Baltimore secessionists lad a full understanding with secession store and shop-keepers--all rebel amliators, indeed --in and around Fiederiuk, that the raid or evasion, which has taken, place was to be made at certain time hence large quanti- ies of goods, suitable to the wants of a destitute army, were sont thither and to other through which it was secretly known rebel army would go.

They come before us, in this epoch, under tho general name of Englishmen, in baggy pantaloons and compressed head gear. The flowing locks of the Cavaliers, and their rufned shirw and slashed doublets, have disappoard.

If the two classes yet exist, there is no external sign by cnn bo'distinguished. If anything, the indications ore that tho Roundheads have swallowed up tho Cavaliers, and renderod.tho nation homogeneous. Even granting the rebel theory of tho difference in race to be correct, it is hard to determine why the Cavaliers and Roundheads in America cannot got along as lovingly as they ao in England at this day and date. In strong contrast with this romancing, are tho actual facts establishing American unity. Do Gasparin states them clearly in his late work, llo says, page 243 If the North succeeds--and it-will succeed, perhaps, in suppressing the factitious and transient exaltation iu whioh the South is now found--a much more real attachment for tho common country will be discovered nt the bottom than mdn are now disposed to admit.

For nearly a century, the sum told thoy have lived together under the same Constitution, with tho same destinies, by no means devoid of greatness. Such a history is a bondl More than one glorious memory, more than one. illustrious name causes the hearts of men to beat alike in the North and South. Far from discovering there two peoples naturally hostile. I cau- not help seeing a single neople, and a people whose unity seems founded on indestructible buses.

Not only is there unity of language, unity of origin, Unity of race, and unity of religion, but it would be difficult to find, slavery, any serious cause of antagonism. The solidarity of interests is evident--'there is no-lrivulry, the iigrioultunj South completes the manufacturing North, the rich cultures of the Sduth have need to prosper of tho capital of the North, the entrepots of vast coiumerceof the North, It is puerile to raise up a fow differences of character and manners, and transform them tnts ouususormsraptto-, 'mere is which doosnotoomprise tmoh with- itoelf; they do not endanger unity, itrengthon it, on the contrary, oy introducing therein the clement of diversity. Then tho leoplo of tho North South, with their emigrating habits, are much more closely in- ermingled than is confessed. How many families number members at tbo present time both contending sections? Tho geographical unity will strike every ono who looks at tbo map of America, Seek latural limits, possible limits--you will not ind them. A great arterial communication, tho Mississippi, passes through tbo central valley where beats the heart of tho peopU mmerous branches, canals, railroads, ish a momentary contact between tho most distant portions of the territory.

The necessities of defense, are to America supremo law of unity. If tbe South, which alks about independence, wishes to remain ndependent, I advise it not to set itself apart; will soon be obliged to place itself in consequence, under the protection of some Euro- lenn power. As to the North, once separated rom tho States which make it -a whole, it is danger of being like a dismantled fortress, vhich ma; bo entered henceforth by the Breach. Nothing less than tho blind passions of lavery could close one's to truths like hose.
