Letter from Oregon.


The following extracts from letter written by
one of the emigrants of 1s43. will be particular
" interesting at this time, and should be careful
ly read by those going out this spring. 1t will be
particularly useful to emgrants who leave from
this part Of the country. Western (Mo.) Journal
Fort VANCOUVER, Nov. ii, ls43
Dear Sir,-We were six months to-day from
the time we left home, in getting to this place.
though we might have arrived one month sooner,
had we not unnecessarily wasted our time on the
way. To give full description of our travels
would occupy more time than have to spare.-
will, however. give you and my friends Short
sketch. We left Wesiport Oh the 22d OF May,
and crossed the Kansas river near the old Villages
thence up the north side Of the Kansas, where
we had a great deal of ram and stormy weather
to encounter, which made it very disagreeable
travelling We then crossed over the Platte a.
bout eighty miles ABOVE the Pawnee village {;
thence. up the Platte about fifty miles above the
forks, where we crossed The South fork. We
then struck over the North fork, and travelled up
it until we came to Fort Laramie. We then
crossed Larramie's fork of the Platte, which we
found very difficult to pass We still keri up the
North fork to within forty miles of the Rocky
mountains, where We crossed it. We came TO a
small stream, called Sweet Water, one Of the
streams of the northern hranch of the Platte, this
we kept until we passed through the rocky Noun
tains, which we found to be as good any part Of
the road. We then came to the waters of Green
River, which is one of the branches of The Colo
RADIO then to Fort Bridges, which is on the wa
tiers of the Green River from there we next
struck Bear River which empties into the great
Salt Lake--we travelled several days down this
river, then crossed over on the Snake river, which
is the head waters Of the Lewis River, and ARR.

From here we travelled down Snake or Lewis
River, crossing and recrossing the same to Fort
Bosie, thence to Fort Wallawalla, crossing the
Blue mountains in our route--we passed them
much easier than expected = uss s.s.iE.sst 81
At Wallawalla, myself and Reeves and many
others of the emigran,s exchanged our cattle at
Vancouyer--we got age for age, and sex for sex.
Here we found it advsa BILE to take water and rav.

some difficulty. Those who did not exchange
their stock went to the Methodist mission a, the

REFLECTIONS ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF
.. A FATHERS DEATH.
FRIENDSHIP mysterious tie, the circling year
Again calls forth the soul to weep, the hand
That struck the bonds asunder; yet wherefore
Shall we morn for those who struggling long
With times tempe stuous at length
Have reached that shore where car never come
Shall we weep for him who. like faithful tree,
Flourished unfading here and cheer'd the vale
With heavily fragrance, and is gathered to
A happier cline, unwithered by the sun
His leaf was green, for round his root their fow'd
Those streams of life, which, with unceasug joy,
Make glad the city of our God. But ali,
The winter loiter'd round him, and sudden,
When his fruit was rpe and faith and hope aud zeal
Hung on each bough, and choered the gazers eye,
The whirlwind came, bore him triumphant
From us, and clouds Of death curtan'd him from
Our sight. Yet are We told that the banks
Of life's fair stream, 'cose by the throne Of God"
He blooms forever. There is health and peace.
He too is safe; but little space
Must bde the 'pelting" of the storms fife. W.....

A WORD TO THE FISCAL PARTNER

A WORD TO THE "FIsCAL PARTNER"
We do not deem it necessary TO say much in reply
to the three or four columns of crude bsderdash and
coarse blackguaIdism that dsgraces the Globe yes
terday.
We merely repeat the charge of bribery, II the
fact OF the Fiscal Partner" having offered clerk
in the Department Of State several thousand dollars
to secure the Globe large amount of printing, be
bona hde bribery. This charge Is not even denied
As to the nsnustions Of corruption against u.s. and
against the Administration, they nothing more
than hSluttered fasehoods and will not be distinct
ly pronounced, because they are false. 1t is said
however, that Mr.. Riyes endorsed the statement Of
Mr.. Mcdonnell, in the Zabriskie case but we pre-
sumo the report Of the committee will show pre-
cisely what was done by the President.
As for the implied threat Of Mr.. X. about break
Ing every bone in our body" we must confess that
he u.s. perhaps, able to do that for he boasts Of being
six ieet three in his stockings and large in proper
ton" But he has no disposition to make the at
tempt: we are charitable enough to believe this
We have ever believed, and have never been mis-.
taken, that when an awkward, oyergrown animal, Of
the genus homo boasts of his powers, and publishes
his threats, he is conscious Of the absence Of the
necessary nerve to do his peaceabe and unofending
Delghbor the slightest injury.

THEATRE-MISS KIRBY.

We never remember to have experienced a higher
degree Of pleasure and surprise, than in witnessing
the performance Of this charming actress at the Ma
tiona Theatre last evening. The play selected was
Bulwer's Lady of Lyons-Miss KIRBY sustaining the
character of Paulne and high raised as our expec-
tations were BY what we had previously heard re.
sPectng her, they were far more than realized. Fre-
quently have this beautiful play performed
at different theatres, we have never before been so
highly delighted with the representation Of that cha
racter. From the first to the last, under the infu
ence Of all the various conflicting emotions of PRIDE
love, and flial affection, she equally perfect n
her personations this abundanny evident by the
enthusiastic appreciation which she received from
highly respectable and discriminating audience.
This beautiful and accomplished lady has only to
pursue the course which she appears 10 have marked
out for herself to attain the highest eminence in her
profession. The spotless excellence Of her charac
ter in private life the native sweetness of her dspo
sition, her unvarying fal devotion, wins the admira-
ton and esteem OF all who have The pleasure of her
acquaintance. She justly deserves to be considered
as she is a universal favorte.

GREAT OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
MENrS IN ART AND ADVANCES
IN SCJENCE ...

1t might justly be expected, that as the popu-
la'ion OF America increases, great effects will
result to the world at large. Two causes pre-
vented Amcrica from acting by any moral or
mental potency of her inhabitants upon the
European world, at her first discovery. One
was the comparative paucity of their numbers
the other was their nferiorty in knowledge.
This inferiority was considerable in different
ways; but particularly striking in the art Of
war. The vast superiority which in the course
of one hundred and fifty years preceding the in
ventiou OF FIRE arms hat conferred upon the Eu-
ropean nations, made them seem to the ignorant
inhabitants OF America a celestial race of be-
ing. Among the earliest uses of cannon was
that by Edward the lid at the battle of Crecy,
where be had four, and by that means gained
