most crops suffer more or less from drought.
Wheat and peas are the crops which APP
pear best adapted to the soil and climate,
and are raised of an excellent quality, though
in a moderate quantity, as a general yield.
But whatever may be the advantages or
disadvantages in relation to the agricultural
prospects of the valley of the Willamette,
there is no question but it is admirably adapt
ed to the raising of herds and horses. These
thrive and multiply with remarkable facility;
and as no provender has to be provided for
the winter, the cost of a herd is a mere trifle;
consisting only in the necessary oversight of
the herd, and the occasional trouble of getting
them together to mark, etc.
cannot pass over this branch of the sub
ject, without dwelling a moment longer on
the country Immediately under consideration.
The natural facilities afforded by the pccu-
liar nature of this valley, render the procu-
ring of the mere necessaries of life, extreme
ly easy. The prairie soil is considered of a
good quality, and is ready for the plough,
without any preliminary preparation. The
usual course pursued by the settlers is, to
erect a log house on the edge of the prairie,
enclose a few acres at first with a rail fence,
plough it up, put in the seed, and then turn
their attention to other improvements. The
enclosures are enlarged as the ability of the
occupant will admit. These p%rairies are sur
rounded with timber, which is convenient
and valuable for buildings and for fencing;
and many are skirted with a scattering
growth of oaks, which resemble, in some
places, an orchard. Some of them are also
intersected with a stream of water, which
falls into the river, and affords a site for
mills and other machinery. Many of them
are rolling, or undulating, on their surface;
and from some Of them eminences arise,
which built upon, would overlook a large
farm. (1o be Continued.)

FROM OUR AMERICAN CORRESPONDENT.
BosToN,

BosToN, -, 1s43.
My dear Editor ,-Spcaking in my last of
the plants in the National Conservatory at
Washington, reminds me of the beautiful ex-
hibition of the Horticultural Society of Phil
adelphia, in China Hall, beneath Peale's
Museum. Fruits, flowers and vegetables
were there displayed in the greatest richness
and profusion, and arranged in excellent
taste. Could one have had the privilege of
plucking and eating, the enjoyment would
have been perfect. The beauty and fashion
of Philadelphia frequented the hall, so that
the rival charms ofnature and art were fair
ly at issue. 1t was a pretty spot for lovers
to sauntcr in; flowers strewed their way, and
piles of luscious fruits looked temptingIy into
their faces.-But like the fruits of the tabued
trees of Eden, they were forbidden to touch
and eat. The moral was very good, if they
took the pains to interpret it, and would serve
them for good counsel through life. The
names Of those who raised the fruits were
attached to their several piles. | noticed
some fine grapes from Andalusia, the prince
ly country seat of Nicholas Biddlc. Some
one, with more truth than feeling, had writ
ten on the label,-"watered by widows
tears" The puny specimens of our noble
tropical trees. the banana, pineapple, palms,
&C., were the chief objects of attraction.
The taro looked the best, and my appetite
yearned strongly towards it. In truth, all
exhibited much attention and care, but to
me were of minor interest, when compared
with the fully developed productions of our
own soil. Many were strangers to me; SOM

PHILOSOPHY OF HEAT.-"Well, my little
fellow" said a certain Principal to a juvenile
philosopher, whose mamma had been teasing
the learned Knight to test the astonishing
abilities of her boy,-"what are the proper
ties of heati" "The chief property of heat
is, that it expands bodies, while cold contracts
them."-"Very good, indeed-can you give
me a familiar example;" Yes, sir; in SUM
mer, when it is hot, the day is long; while in
Winter, when it is cold, it becomes very
short" The learned Knight stopped his ex-
animation. and was lost in amazement that so
familiar an instance should have so long es-
capped his W observation .-Engksh paper.

RECOLLECTIONS OF OREGON.

Nh. EditOr,-Since the following remarks
were penned, large accessions nave been
made to the population Of the Willamette
valley, from the United States, across the
Rocky Mountains. About 1000 souls ar
rived last autumn, accompanied by 100 wag-
ons, and a large herd of cattle. This COM
pany was composed of farmers, artisans, Ia
borers, a few professional men, and some
limited capitalists.
Lieut.. Fremont, ofthe Typographical En-
gineers, with a small protecting party, ac-
companied the emigrants, to make observa-
tions for the information of the government
ofthe United States. An indolible road has
been tracked across the mountains, and wag-
CONS, from the state of Missouri, have reach
ed the Columbia River; and it is confidently
estimated that from one to four thousand will
be added, the current year, to the population
of Oregon.
Being under the jurisdiction of no foreign
power, the necessities of the colony required
the organization of a temporary government,
which was effected in 1912, and, up to the
date of last advices, was working well in
practice. Ofthe details of the organization
l am uniformed, but understand it to be up
on the simplest plan of a republic, with feed
offices.
This infant colony has the reputation of
being a moral and well-ordered community;
and there is good reason to hope, if this
character is Justly awarded, that it will prove
the germ of an enterprising state, which will
soon exert an influence upon affairs in the
Pacific.
On arriving in the Columbia River, on the
25th of March, we found spring fairly estab-
lished in the seat of old winter, who had
been completely ousted by the mild advances
of his more genial supplanter. The woods
were vocal with the songs of innumerable
warblers; and the air was filled with the
cheerful humming-bird, whose joyous twitter
and rapid, darling movements, seemed to in
fuse into every animate object, something of
its own restlessness. The air was bland, the
grass had started from its long sleep Of
months, and the trees had put forth their
tender leaves to woo the gentle kisses of the

such as the egg plant, could be u~sefully in
troduced into your islands.
Perhaps there is as little interest in the
Sandwich Islands, in Philadelphia, as in any
other city of the Union. They have no trade
in common, and the Friends, or Quakers, as
others call them, look with an unfavorable
eye upon the Pacific Missions. l endeavor-
ed to explain to some-and l believe to some
extent succeeded-the beneficial results of
their operations thus far. But like all other
sectarians they are strongly welded to pre-
conceived opinions, and 10th to leave the
well-beaten track of their fathers. Yet in
action, none are more benevolent. They
were the best friends the aborigines of Ame-
RIGA ever had, and | see no reason to doubt,
that had their duty led them to the Polyne-
sian islands, the result would have been sim
liar.
In New York | was quite surprised to find
our exploring friend J. p. Couthouy. He
has refused all offers of further employment
from government in connection with the pub
LEGATION of the scientific details of the Expedi-
ton, and, with a partner, established himself
in a lamp store in Broadway. However, he
finds time occasionally to give the world
some of the results of his valuable observa-
tons on natural history, through the pages of
Silliman's Journal of Natural Sciences. He
is indeed a man of wonderful energy and
aptness, in whatever he applies himself to.
| send you his pamphlets on the coral forma-
tons, icebergs, &C., and his reply to certain
structures on the part Of Mr.. Dana, the min
eralogist. The latter is rather caustic,-but
both are we'll able to defend their respective
views. | wish Mr.. Couthouy could reside
at Honolulu, and devote himself to the exa-
mination and observation of the volcanic
phenomena, and the several departments of
natural history appertaining to the group.
You need some close observer for this pur-
pose, both for your own sakes and that of
the world. There is much that is curious
and valuable to be CLEANED at Hawaii in par
%ticular, and he is the man for the work.
One would think by the Daguerreotype
signs about the streets, that the world had
gone portrait-mad. The faces of ones friends
stare one at every hour. 1t is a beautiful
art, and when well done, they give the most
perfect miniatures-true to life-the minu-
test feature not escaping the accuracy of the
lenses-even the figures of a muslin cape, a
riband or breast-pin are ali given. There is
no opportunity for fiattery. In these like
nesses one pcrceives his friends as they re-
ally appeared at the time they were taken.
The process of transferring them through
the agency of light, is peculiarly interesting.
The Americans have made great improve
ments in the art, since Daguerre first discov-
cred it. AT present | am too busy to write
further. Remember me to our old circle;
think much of all of you, particularly when
Jack Frost covers the windows, and pulls at
my nose and fingers. The old fellow seems
to have grown more crusty since my boy
hood. Happy Oahuians! oblivious to all his
charms. Yours, as ever,

Music, to thee the power is given,
To charm on earth with strains of heaven;
To calm the mind in passions strife,
And vile away the cares of life;
To fire the soul in battle hour,
When dangers round us darkly lower;
In madcning pain or dropping grief,
To thee we fly for quick relief;
Or, in the hour of mirth and joy,
We find in thee no sad alloy.
Music tits thine to tame the heart,
And soften with thy moving art;-
For gentle conqueror Music, say,
Who here below owns not thy sway!
When Sol had lost his torrid power,
In softest shades of even hour,
And mountain, food, and distant heaven,
Were clad in the brightest hues of even;
Genius of Music, then full well,
I loved to seek at eve thy cell,
And there beguile a truant hour,
Charmed by the magic of thy power.
While tolls and cares were yet afar,
l loved to hear the sweet guitar;
o then the trembling notes would roll,
In floods of joy upon the soul.
But all what boots it now to tell,
How much | loved thee and how well?

The Courier has published, and other Wig pa
pers republish, pretty hard stcry against Mr.. u.
NJ. Dallas, who, in some of his conduct as lead
ing counsel for Monroe Edwards, is represented
as overacting the part of the lawyer IN such t
way as would te esteemed most rescaly IN any
other than lawyer. A friend has called on Us
with names to substantiate all that Is alleged IN
this statement, requesting US to copy it-but we
shall do no such thing. 1t might be effective,
out it is not in our line. We oppose Mr. Dallas
ss hard as we know how 70 do It, but the homes;
truth being that we oppose hun because ne is a
very Jacobinic, ose-pyincipled, Texas Loco
Foco. and not because he is an extra-sharp law
yer, we shall not pretend the contrary.
Briefly, these personal attacks on candidates
for Office, unless for some Aagrant moral delln-
ouency, arc not a. all to our taste. We are quite
willing that our opponents should send spies int"
eve,y social circle which MIR. Clay visits, to Ger
tify that he has sometime taken hand of whist
with his friends, even when some trlfiing stake
has been made We are willing they should cal
this playing for money, revile him as a gambler
and falsely assert that he has solemnly denied
taking part in any game within dozen years
We are willing they should go on in this way to
he end, and make all they can by it-just as
they used to abuse John O. Adams about q
billiard.table that was bought for La Fayettc
when guest Of the Country. We hope they
will rake up some more such matters and lie as
nearly in the words of truth as possible. WI
like to see the Evening Post, Pennsylvania, &c
diving after The Plebeian into this nice business
and we wish them JOY of all they make by it
We have not the least desire to divide eithe
the honors or the gains.
