Dear Sir: Every thing is in flourish
ing condition in this section Of the country;
the new emigrants, as well as The old ones,
are in high spirits. The harvest, whichsis
now ripe, bids fair to reward the laborer
with abundance. There's but one opinion
amongst the new emigrants in relation 10
the crops, and that is that they never saw
such fields Of wheat east Of the Mountains.
Indeed, every thing except Indian corn
fourishes extremely well here equal 10
that of the best crops in the valley of the
Mississippi. All that is wanted 10 make
this one of the finest portions of the globe
is a sufficient number of good substantial
farmers, with few good substantial built
ships from the New England States to
transportour produce, and bring us in re-
turnthat Of the Sandwich Islands. and other
&C untries With which We trade. The great
profits charged by'thd snip owners in this
country in consequence of the diminished
competitioib must make a fortune TO the
owners in few years. This will be 9TH
erwise shortly; the facts as they are only
want to be made known in the States, to
induce the many idle vessels there to seek
trade which viii afford ready and prof

produce, lumber, 49,.
We are now looking with great earnest=

sent special Munster from England to set
tie the Oregon question, and cfcoursethis
is Of great interest to all Observation-Disclosures.
The emigrants for 1874, whose arrival we
look for in about two months, will settle
that matter, and We hopeio our satisfaction.
We have organized and framed for our
municipal regulation provisional govern
ment, elected governors, Judges, Legislators,
shsriffs, Justices, military officers, &c.
Our Legislature has just adjourned CATER

chair in this new and interesting body, and
was Of course and eye witness to the whole
affair, which was conducted in as good or
der as is found in that Of any Of the new
States, and the laws will be enforced aid
equally respected by our citizens. With
the exception Of q few cases Of the fever
Immediately after The arrival of the last
einigrants, almost interrupted health has
prevailed; and / am satisfied, from my OBJ
servations, that this il one Of the most
healthy new countries in the world, and
summing up all Of its advantages, it offers
more inducements to industry and enter
prise than has been heretofore offered, with
decidedly the best climate on the continent.

new countries, but ! challenge contradic-
