EMIGRATION TO OREGON. A writer in the
Boston Atlas, who accompanied the division of U.
S. dragons, states the following facts:
The objects of this Expedition were, to see that
the long road to Oregon open to the emigrants,
and the Santa Fe trail to the traders to visit the
Indian tribes this side of the Rocky Mountains
and by kindness and presents, to show them that
the white man is their friend-at the same time
to overawe them, and by show of force to con-
vince them that any molestaton of citizens of the
United States would not go UNPUBLISHED. Anoth-
er object was to explore the country, and dscov-
er its military resources. On the Oath of May,
we struck the Great Oregon Trace, which we
kept to the South pass of the Rocky Mountains
On the 29th of May we arrived at the Nebraska
or Platte River, striking it twenty miles from the
head of Grand Island. For twenty days after we
struck the Oregon Trace, we were continually
overtaking and passing the emgrants This was
an exceedingly interesting feature in the campaign
for we saw the manner in which they conducted
their marches, and learned their general charac-
ter and it was gratifying to them, to know that
the Government was sending her troops to keep
them from being molested by the hand of the
savage, on their long and toilsome journey
They assemble annually in the spring of the
year from the middle and Western States at diff
erent points on the frontier; generally at st Jo-
seph and Independence, Mo-, where they form
themselves lnlo cOLnpdHl vi from twenty-five
to fifty families and when the grass is sufficient
ly forward to subsist their stock, they commence
their journey. l improved many opportunity
to converse with them, and found them generally
intelligent, and enthusiastic with regard to their
prospects of settling in new country. They
are bold hardy farmers, and are fully competent,
in every respect to lay the foundation of new
colony, perhaps new nation. Oregon is now
evidently filling up fast and that too, with ct-
zens from the United States. They are carrying
with them their republican feelings, their love Of
liberty, and their industrious habits. These are
the qualities that build great nation, and they
can never be extinguished in the bosoms of those
who have borne them away. There have passed
over the road to Oregon, this season, 6l2 wagons
and an immense number Of stock allowing FIVE to
a wagon, which is a low estimate, there were
accompanying those wagons 5000 souls! l think
if some settlement of the Oregon question is not
speedily made that Oregon herself, will have an
interestin the dispute.

BRAzEN FACED. One of the coolest pieces

ed profession, in State street, on Wednesday, OF
which we have heard for a long time A gentle

counter, directly before the face and eyes of the
broker, had his pocket lightened of his pocket
book and its contents, by genteel dressed man,
VINO mad followed him so closely into the office,
that he was presumed to be his friend, and Of
course his operations on the pocket of the gentle

have been had he been suspected of roguery. 1t

and coolly turned upon his heel and walked off,
that the loss was discovered. Journal

The new account of the Register of the Treas
ury states that during the fiitysix years. exist
ence of our Federal Government the entire expen-
ditures of that Government, excluding principal
of Public Debt, have been little under One
Thousand millions Of Dollars, which have been
appropriated as follows;
For the Military service S286 1898 857

Interest of PubLic Debt ~ 1874 855

The balance has been expended as follows:

Including payments for Indian Lands
Including we presume, the purchase of Louisiana.
Thus we see that this most Christian nation, IN
something less than lifetime, has paid nearly
Seuen Hundred Millions Of Dollars directly for
the cost of War, or more than twice the cost of
all its public service beside. The expenses of
Foreign Intercourse and much else are Indirect
