OR ECON TIE RRIT0R Y.

Our Government is turning lis attention
seriously 10 the occupation of the Oregon
Territory. AS preparatory step, an ex-
petition has been recently sent out TO eX-
plore the country between the navi gable
waters of the Missouri and Oregon rivers.
The company consistssso r surveyors, engl-
necrs and scientific men, we'll supplied
with all the instruments and appliances ne
cessary to effect a correct topograp hical
survey, and is escorted by sufficient num-
Der Of troops to afford protection from the
savage tribes that waAder through the great
Western wilderness. The main object OF
the expedition is 10 select the most eligible
route for the location Of a CHAIN Of forts.
connecting the white settlements ons the
Missouri and the Columbia rivers. The
establishment of Military posts alor g the
route will tend very much to facilitate the
march Of emigration in the direction of the
Pacific Ocean. At present, the journey
across the Rocky Mountains is attended
with innumerable dangers, enough to deter
any but the hardest Adventures from en-
countering the risk. No single individual
dare make the attempt. Even large cara
vans, we'll guarded and protected by strong
military escorts, are in constant jeopardy
from the attacks Of the Indians, whose
hunting grounds are traversed by the COM
pany OF travellers.
If, however. the intention Of Govern
ment is carried into effect, comparative Sc
curity will have been acquired against ma
ny of the dangers that now render the jour
ncy to the Pacific full of hazard to the pi-
onccr Whenever this desirable object is
attained, it may be expected that the tide
Of emigration will set in strong and wide
for the shores Of the Pacific. The Far
West will then no longer be limited by the
range of the Rocky Mountains, but its
boundaries be pushed onward till they meet
the waters of the distant ocean. The pros
poets in that remote region are sufficiently
hatlering to induce crowds to try the ex-
pertinent Of seeking their fortunes in new
country. Notwithstanding existing obsta-
Giles, extensive settlements are formed on
the Columbia, and before many years il
may be expected that the colonists will be
strong enough 10 organize a Government
| Of their own, and establish another Repub-
lie west of the Rocky Mountains.

They who say that this s a miserable
world, or that this is miserable life, say
not well. 1t is misanthropy, or diseased
imagination only that say this. Life is
liable to misery, bat misery is not its be-
ing-it is not miserable cXistencc.-Wit-
ness i know not what things to say, or
how many. The eye is opened TO a world
of beauty, and to a heaven-aIl subimity
and loneliness. The ear heareth tones
and voices that touch the heart with Joy,
with rapture. The great wide atmosphere
breathes upon us bathes US with soll-
ness and fragrance. Then look deeper.
How many conditions are happy! Child
hood is happy; and youth is PrevaiIingly
happy and prosperity hath its JOY, and
wealth its satisfaction and the warm blood
that flows in the ruddy check and sinewy
arm Of honest poverty, is still better gilt.
No song is so hearty and cheering
that steals forth from the windows of gay
saloons-as the song Of honest labor among
the hills and mountains. Oh TO be man
with the true energies and affections Of
a man--all men feel it to be good. To be
q healthiul, strong, true-hcarted and loving
man-how much better is it, than to be
the minion or master, Of any condition.
Lord, Landgrave, King or Caesar How
many affections too are happy-gratitude
generosity, pity, love, and consciousness
Of being beloved And to bow the heart,
in lowliness and alteration, before the In
finite, Al-Blessing, Evcr-Blessed One
to sec in the aIl-surrounding brightness and
glory, not beauty and moiesty only, H.:
the AlI-BcautfuI, All-Maiestic, All-Con-
scious MIND and SPIRIT Of Love-this is
to be filled with more than created fullness
it is to be filled with all the fullness OF
God!
A world where such things are, "a
world, above all, where such presence is
-seemeth TO me, goodv world | look
upon it, | mediate upon it, feel lis bless
ings and bcatitudes :; and say, surely it
is a world Of righteousness and beauty and
gladness, Of love and friendships, Of bes-
sed homes and holy affairs, Of sacred COM
munions and lofty aspirations Of immortal
prospects and | remember that He who
made it, looked upon it, and saw that it

LITERATURE IN RUssIA.-AmOng the
Russian booksellers Smirdcn may decided
" be named as the first. 1t is surprising
how rich an assortment Russian literature
has already provided for him, nor is the
elegant execution Of his printing establish
ment less deserving Of admiration. AT no
time perhaps, did The Russians print upon
such wretched paper, with such dctestable
types, and with SO unbounded a contempt
for taste and accuracy, as were not long
ago general in Germany; but since the
commencement Of the present century the
Russian typography has improved SO won
derlulIy that specimens may now be seen
here fit TO rival those Of any other country.
Russian books are for the most part print
ed on good solid paper, and in a rcmarka-
bly, large type, though many Of the duode-
cimos and 16mos. are as neat and dImln-
utive as those of Paris and London.
The time is gone when Russian noble
man filled his library almost exclusively
with French books and carefully concealed
his few native authors on a corner shelf.
Russian books now occupy prominent
position in every Russian library. and the
high price paid to native writer's proves
the extensive sale that there must be for
their writings. There are Russian au-
thors, who have bought estates of several
square leagues in extent, with the produce
of their pens; there are others who receive
from five to seven thousand rOubles for
merely giving their names to periodicals,
and there are periodicals that are said to
circulate more than 10000 copies. The
largest modern undertaking is the great
National Encyclopedia, on which several
hundred literary men are engaged, at the
rate Of from one to two hundred roublcs a
sheet. Of course, very large sale must
have been counted on 10 cover such an ex-
pendture. Even in the highest circles,
native Russian literature is able no; only
to rival, but even to surpass that OF France
in public favor.-Foreign Quar-. Rtrie1c.

ErrorS.-fIow ofcn is it that we hear
the poor exclaim against the Iabor-savlng
machines and machinery in gencraI-io
their minds, the invention and application
of machinery is closely connected with
their own distress. a conclusion result
ing from want Of knowledge most de-
voutly to be deprecated. Could the ma
chincry Of this country be by a single
stroke of giant arm annihlIated, what
pen could describe the cOnscquenccS-the
misery that would Immediately ensuc. The
means, not only Of clothing. but OF food,
of migration, would instantly fail US; we
should be reduced into a state OF compare
tive barbarism. The hostility TO machin-
cry 10 be consistent must be universal.
Each class Of workmcn has the same rig ht
and if the agricultural laborer be justified
iu destroying the lhreshing machine, the
weaver has right TO destroy the power
loom the printers pressman would be
right in destroying the steam press; the
sailor would be right in blowing up the
steam vessel; and so throughout the whole
compass of society. Thus should VIC be
thrown back into a state Of privation and
helplessness Into utter barbarism. Let
the laborer think of these facts when dis
posed TO grumble, and learn that though
for the moment injured and thrown out of
employ by laborsaving invention, yet is
he ultimately, and with him all his fellow
men benefited ,hereby.-Ddiiu Bee.
