OREGON CITN, Aug. D, tSoO
DEAR SIR
I have taken my pen and dipped it in the ink for
the purpose Of conveying faint idea OF our situa-
ton We are at this time engaged IN building a
new City Hall. The Exchange and Custom House
are neurly done. The new line of steamers to
China are about starting on their regular trips
We have news from the Eastern cities regularly by
the daily Railroad lines across the Rocky Noun
tains.
This city is filled with tea and all kinds of India
goods, and the great Eastern Railroad will soon
distribute hem to the Eastern States When !
came to this city it was trading port claimed by
Great Britain aud the United States, and was not
considered Of consequence enough TO leglslate
upon Our location Is such that We have been able TO
set up on our own account, and now enjoy the
greater part Of the China trade for America, for the
very reason we are three or four months nearer TO
it, and sea navigation that gives US twenty per
cent the advantage of England or even NewYo
We can successfully compete with the Yankees Of
New England. In fact, we shall be all Yankees
here in few years Our manufactures are null
tiplying beyond imagination
was Yesterday convereIng with the members OF
the Board of Trade, AID they asionlsh me by show
ing me the number aud amount Of manufactures
You would think yoursefin New England: here Is
brass and wooden clocks, all sorts OF buttons,
combs, gimbets, cotton and woollen goods, hard
wave, glass, stoves sperm oil and candles. boots,
shoes hats caps, &c, &c. And, do not be aston
ished, we shall be the greatest city in America!
Our climate is equal to that of Washington, any
part Of Virginia, and OF the best harbors in the
world. We wonder how people can live and con-
tent themselves in such small places Buffalo,
Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, &c it must be worry
lonely.
Write me by the American express; can get
your letter in ten days by the Missouri or Misss-
sippi Railroads. If sent by New ork and seaward
it will take four or six months
Respectfully yours,
