An Engime Of DesIrmcIion.

About year ago, or more, an account was pub

not be completed before two or three years. aud viii

basin is to be built ball and bomb proof seam
floating battery about TO feet wide by zoo feet
long, propelled on the screw plan, and capable OF
being governed with all the ease of Steamboat
while IL great speed will be the least of its good
qualities. 1t is IFS peculiar construction, than
strength of build, which will render il impervious
alike to cannon ball anI bomb shcll the rapidity

advantage OF any desirable position in an action.
The armament will be heavy but the light drlught
of water will enable it to approach any desirable
point without difficulty or danger. When finish
ed, the coilerdam will be dug away, and this thing
of life will move out Of its dock, not showing the
least means whereby it moves, and without sin
sic person being seen about it, while in reality
powerful steam eRgine is at work within, and hun.

William Sutton, resident of Oregon Territory
and who left the settlement at Wallamet Fall,
about The middle Of May. He was three month.
IN reaching the settlement on the Missouri, and
was the bearer Of a petition to the American
government from the residents of Oregon Ter
rltory, asking the government 10 extend the
laws and jurisdiction Of the republic over that
interesting territory. Mr. S. met the caravan
OF emgrants on the ronte which has before been
noticed by u.s. as also two similar parties bound
for Oregon. He speaks of the settlement as
prosperous and healthy that the soil, although
mol equa'in fertility to ours, yet producing sure

and moral are likely to do we'll No money

Dr Mclaughlin, the British commander Of fort
Vancouver, claims the site by right of disco
very, or as having established post there some
years since. He has laid out town, and is
now selling lots, giving deeds, &c. lie warns
American citizens not to interfere with his
claims. The American settlers are very much
perpleXed by his interference on the South
side Of the river. The Wallamet furnishes an
immense water power suitable for machinery.
Two grist and saw mills are by this time built
at that place /; one owned by Mclaughlin, who,
by means of his great wealth, is determined to
break down the American owners of the other
mills The settlers are patient expecting the
United States to protect the rights Of her own
citizens in her own territory. Wheat, which
rs the principal crop raised for sale, is worth a.
bout eighty cents per bushcl at fourt Vancou-
YER. This price is not paid in money, but in
foods, at low rate. Money will not purchase
goods as low by 90 per cent as wheat or bea-
yer skins. Mr.. Sutton is so well satisfied with
the country, that he designs to return and spend
hls days there. If emigrants should continue
to pass INTO Oregon for few years as rapidly
as they have the present year, the people will
soon be able TO protect themselves from the ra-
pacity of the British Hudson Bay and North

ARrrHMErIcAL ExrREssIox.-IIo easy il
IS to speak OF millions and billions, yet how diff
cult to conceive what even Il million is. But
still we should endeavor to observe some idea
OF that mighty number.-Suppose we speak of
the national debt of Great Britain the words
expressing the round sum ofeight hundred mil
hons are already spoken, but who can form
conception Of that amount We know howe
yer what dollar is We know, too. wha, min.
utes, hours and years are. Then we Rlav form
some idea Of the amount, thougha remote one.
when We discover by calculation that the debt
is considerably more than a dollar per minute
from the time our tiIst parents were in Para
disc to the present day more than sixty dol.
lars per hour through all the ages of mans ex-
!stencc billion however, is far more in.
comprehensive term; SO much so, indeed, as
to be beyond all conception. Taking the Mo.
sale date, as early as can be computed, the
world has not yet existed even one-iiith part of
one billion of seconds.

circumstances have since ranspirej, that may lead

New Market street near Pcgs, and got into con-
uoversy with one OF the loarders named William
Heyer; afterwards he returned 10 his own stop

renewed the subject ofthe preceding evening. Thev
bocame much excited, when another man, Adam
lechteniellt interiered and caused a reconcilia.
ton to take place between them.
Miller then took the latter aside and told him
'hat he was one Of the men who committed the a.
bove murder, that he had killed Mr.. Parke by cut
ting his throat, and that Heyer was his accomrIice
and hal destroyed the life of the child. He said
that by giving him up he could make $1,000, but
begged him to say nothing about it until he got an.
mother nights rest. l.. Immediately told Heyer the
statement which he had made, and Heyer then
went for wa,chman and had him arrested

additional particulars were elected from him. The
