FALLS OF WtLLrMErrR, } Oregon Territory, Oct. 24, is4a.

EsTEEMEn iWEND--ln the outset of my | journey here l had great labor and difficulty, but got along without accident, or further loss than throwing away everything pos sessed except my mules. But arrived here safe and Ill good health on the 18th of Sep tember oi last year. We encamped on tho l first night of our arrival oil the banks of the Clacknus. When started for this country, l did not intend to stay, but then l knew nothing of Oregon. But I now tell you, Trend Mcianc, that nothing could induce mo to leave this country and return, for here VIC have health and everything else that can ren- der reasonable man happy. When l first looked upon the falls here, said 10 myself, thls Is the place for me. There were then but four houses; company of settlers were building saw-mill OH one side of Rock Islands in the river. They have since built a large flouring mill, and in place of four houses we have now filly, and before the first of May next will be one hundred This may seem strange, but il Is tre. Lots that was offered for , dollars cannot now be bought for one thousand dollars.
 Tile country improves ill like manner, for every man in the colony works hard. There IS no new country in the world tlat is III such state olsprospersty as Oregon. The main reason is, VIC have no fire water here. l have been here one summer, and have had an opportunity of seeing the harvest, which was the best ever saw. 1 do wish could send you q sample of the large, pretty white wheat of this country. But ill fact, every- thing put nihe ground grows in like manner. There IS no country like this for a farmer, nor no place where man can live SO easy
 We had a meeting on the < fouftfIn of July to organize and form code of laws, which was done, and the Iowa laws adopted All civil officers and members of the Legislature, nine in number, were elected, So, if Gncls Sam don't watch over us, we will do it our selves.
 word for the last company Young Rogers, the printer, son of Peter Rogers. Esq, and two others, got here on the 1th inst, Hyde and Dougherty shortly after If the company would start IS they should, they could all gel here by the lst of Septem- Der. l hope you will tell them how 10 como. Each man shonld bring good light wagon; nothing in 1t but provisions, and of this but four times the amount they use at home in four months. They should dispose of--burn all tlicir old stuff, which is fit for nothing on this journey but to break the wagons and kill the animals. Good oxen 10 the wagons. Ii they use The horses they bring in this way, they won't get hcrc Not one out of fifty has got here of horses used for draught-, l There Is no danger from Indians al all The last company saw none in the mountains. 1 would mention that John AI Cushing, of Newburyport, has store here, and sends q ship here every fall. send this letter by one who sails for home tomorrow. My regards 10 all. Tell our friends not to aban- don LIS. We arc few, but we are Americans

work done bysaclt. I was in the ficld and al eye witness of the difference in distress of the two animals; 4Ih, and last. the mulc can take harder pull and continue II longer, with less injury-they arc so constituted, that their siDews can't be started from their .fasinings or their temper shaken; they will stand more abuse, more weather, hot or cold, wet or dry; they can be.eowded together in their feeding places, like hogs, all eat and no damage done Their longevity Is as l to ,, and their freedom from disease is IS to %, when compared with the horse. then sum up this part of my subject thus: Take , year old mule of fair size--lreat il reasonably well, work 1t Ill 1t IS unfit for labef--it will do IS much work, and will kill or wear out two common horses. It will cost S30. if you raise it, Ss0 Il you bny--tho two horses will cost $ l00 If you raise them, or Sl2O fl yon buy-or in that poriion--30-l20 or S0-l20. l now predict that the rearing of mules for the next ] or 6 years, will be the most profitable branch of stock growing, sheen excepted. Tennessee and Kentucky have almost abandoned mule growing-lhcre has not one mule passed South this season where 20 passed 3 years since. They arc not in this State 10 send of. The South will be compelled to raise their mules or do without, unless Tennessee and Kentucky change thef course. C. L. COCkRILL.
