OREGON.

We have before us the very elabo-
rate report Of Mr.. Linn, Chairman of
the select committee of the Senate OF
the U. S. to which was referred a
bill to authorize the President of the
U. s. TO occupy the Oregon Territory.
The document is Of great length. AT
ter adverting to the opinion express
ed by Elk. President Monroe, in his
last message, in reference to the pro-
priety Of forming a settlement on the
Oregon, the committee proceed to re-
commend as prompt an action in the
premises as may be consistent with
the good understanding at present ex-
istinS between the U. S. and Great
Britain, the only power whose claims
in regard to this Territory are in con-
flict with those of this country. The
letter of instruction given by Ex-Presi-
dent Jackson to MIR. Slacum, who, it
will be remembered, visited the coun-
try some years since, is quoted, in
which that gentleman is requested to
make such observations and gather
such information with regard to the
Territory as circumstances may per-
nit. In canvassing the question OF
right, the committee cites the argument
of Governor Floyd on the subject be-
fore Congress, and the two reports OF
Mr.. Baylies to the same body.
1t seems that in the treaty entered
into between Spain and the United
States, at Washington, in 1919, the
mutual boundary line between the two
powers was established on the AID de-
gree of latitude extending westward
from the Rocky Mountains to the Pa
cific Ocean. The Southernmost point
TO which Russia claims is 81 deg. 40 M.
and by the provisions of the treaties
with Russia and Spain, the space inter-
vening between AZ deg. and "a deg.
40 m. north latitude, is entirely unclai-
med except by Great Britain and the
United States. In the negotiations
that have taken place between the two
Governments on this subject Temporal
ny arrangements have been made from
time to time, leaving the permanent
settlement ofthe difficulty to future ar
rangement. Under these temporary
arrangements, years notice IS requi-
red to give validity to any alteration,
without which they remain in full force.
In the treaty OF Client, no specific rel
erence is had to this Territory, further
than the general provisions inserted
that all Territory, &C., whatever, ia.
ken by either party, should be restored
without delay under which arrange
mont the United States settlement cal

THE BATH COUNTY MURDERS.

The public sensibility has been so
much excited and the public curiosity
so much awakened, about the murders
of the Two innocent children, which
were perpctrated in Bath county on
tho 10th ult., that we have determined,
tboupb not without some doubts and
misgyings, TO lay the following synop-
sis of the trial before our readers. 1t
is extracted from the official record,
which is directed 10 be transmitted to
the Executive by tho Courts of Oyer
and Terminer. Ii is a wise and hu.
name provision Of our criminal law
The slaves, not having the benefit OF a
trial by Jury, ror before the judges OF
the General Court; but, as they are
tried before the Magistrates of the
County Courts, it was thought proper
TO transmit the record Of the trial
10 the Executive OF the Commonwealth,
who might, if they saw fit, nterpose
their province of mercy to reprievc, to
pardon, or to commute the sentence OF
death into transportation las is ire
quently the case,) But, in the present
instance, the record is SO dark and
bloody, that no attempt has been made
TO soften the sentence--ann there is
no prospect of the Executive in;erfer-
inc to change the decision OF the Court.
The Court Of Oyer and TermIner
was held in the county Of Bath on the
22d of August for the trial OF Andrew,
Lucinda, and Caroline, slaves belong
ing to George Mayse, Esq, who were
charged with the murder OF Margaret
and Mary Maysc, the daughters OF
Mr.. Mayse. Nine Magistrates were
ON the bench.
The following evidence was lntrodu-
ced on the part Of the prosecution -
Caroline. the slave of Mr.. Mayse, tes-
tilted. that on the 10Th Of August, tho
two prisoners Andrew and Lucinda
told her they would show her a good
blackberry patch that evening, and Luz
cinsa told her she must bring Mary
and Margaret Mayse with her, and she
would shew them the black berries. -
Whilst on her way to meet the chi
dren returning from school, she, Car

THE COMPASS.

The following chaste and beautiful lines ar
f.o'n the London Evangelical Magazine.
The storm was loud--before the blast
Our gallant bark was driven;
Their foaming crests the pillows reared,
And not one friendly star appeared,
Through all the vaults OF heaven.
Yet dauntIess still the steersman stood,
Aud gszed without sigh,
Where poised ON needle bright and slim,
And lighted by lantern dim,
The compass meets his eye.
Thence taught his darksome course to steer,
He breathed no wish for day.;
gut brayed the whirlwind's headlong might,
Nor once throughout that dismal night.
To fear or doubt gave way.
And what is oft the Christians life
Rut storms as dark and drear,
Through which without one blithsome ray
Ofworldly bliss to cheer his way,
He must his vessel steer.
Yet let him neer TO sorrow yield,
For in the sacred page
A compass shines divinely true,
And seif-illumined greets his view
Amidst the tempests rage.
Then firmly let him grasp the helm;
Though loud the pillows roar;
And soon his tolls and troubles past,
His anchor he shall safely cast
On Canaan's happy shore.

As Virginians, we are proud that our
State has done SO much towards its es-
adjustment. As to the Bridge, the
excellent and enthusiastic description
of our neighbor ftho Enquirer fails oil
imparting just conception of its beau
tlul and imposing appearance and the
grandeur OF the surrounding scenery.
The coup del from it is truly delight
ing to the fancy. We have built the
Roanoke and Petersburg Road, the Pc
tersburg and Richmond Road, and the
Richmond and Fredericksburg Road,
and if Congress will discharge its duty
to the nation, and make an oppropra-
ton to continue it through the District,
we shall go on with the National line
from Fredericksburg to Alexandria,
when our work will be done. With
the Enquirer we say" When any
one asks with sneer, what has Vir-
ginia done for Internal Improvement 2
we say, if nothing else, look at these
three Railroads, and look at our noble
Bridge" A little while, few short
months, and we shall add one among
the noblest ofcanals to the jewels which
adorn our enterprise.
With regard TO the lateral road, we
are also indebted TO the Enquirer for
the following -" We understand, that
the new Railroad. about 81 miles long,
to connect the Deep Run Coal Pits
with the Fredericksburg and Richmond
Railroad, was opened on Wednesday
last. The road is said to be admIa-
bly, constructed. The field of coal in
that region is very extensive. Several
shafts are about to be sunk and the
enterprizing Mr.. Barr has already
100000 bushels raised. This branch
road has been constructed by the pro-
prietors of the mines-and they are en-
titled 10 the privilege of bringing their
coal down the main stem to Richmond,
free of toll. When the road shall have
thus been paid for, it will be transfer
red to the F. and r. Railroad Compa-
n.y."

he is in regard to his people and

Mr.. Catlin, his Indian Gallery, and to
take i, with him to the Rocky Noun

ception, and invite the warriors OF all
tho tribes to visit it. There they will
see, many of them, their own portraits
upon the same wall. He will tell them
that the Great Spirit created the great
man (Catin,) to bring them
them together, as they see themselves
upon the wall, in order that they shall
fight each other no more, but be united.
He will make it great temple, and
none but those who have distinguished
themselves will be allowed TO enter il,
and that only on tho performance Of
religious rites and ceremonies. This
would unite the Indians heart and soul.
