THE OREGON EXPEDITION.

~ The following is an extract from letter
by o. RIsLET, Esq. formerly of this place, now
on his way to Oregon. 1t adds matter of interest
to the letters already received from the travellers:
FoRT LARAMIE, June 25, ls45.
DEAR - -
We got here yesterday all in good health,
and are now in plain view Of the Black Hills
spur of the Rocky Mountains. The trip,
so far has been very pleasant one, the In
dians here are very friendly and they tell US
at the Fort, that it will be mere accident
if we see one between this and Fort Hail.
Flour brings here one dollar a pint; Coffee
and Sugar fifty cents pint; tobacco one
dollar and fifty cents per pound. These ur-
,icles do not bring mlch money, however;
generally the pay is in barter or traffic. The
last Of May we bad green peas, we found
them plenty before we crossed from Blue
River TO Plltte, but find none on the Platte.
There is some apprehension that we have
not -four enough in the camp to last us over,
but we have double The quantity of bacon that
will be needed. Thirty pounds of bacon to
the person is as much as can be used on the
"trip, as plenty Of Blffilo and Antelope can
be- had for the killing. you come over in
the spring, bring plenty of -four, dried fruit
beans, lard in place Of bacon, sugar, coffee
and any thing that you like at home.
July 7th, ls45.
Ibad written thus far while at Fort Laramie,
but had not time to finish.
The U. S. Dragons are encamped four
miles above us on their return from the South
Pass, II | as this is the last chance we will pro.
badly have Of sending any thing to you until
next spring ! send this by them.
We are one hundred and twenty miles
above Fort Laramie. We shall cross the
Platte to-moruw and strike across to Sweet
Wlter, and will probably reach the South
Pass in about fifteen days. We now consider

A young man named Foster whose parents

From the Washington Union.

Mexico have seen authentic letters
from the city Of Mexico of as late dlto as
the Both of July. They leave the question
of. war precisely where il has stood for 81
many weeks past. 1t is evident, that Mexi-
CO, up TO our latest dates, hesitaies to declare
war. No one can predict. however, what pn-
Icy may be adopted under the sway of fe-
verish excitement. The proposition for a
loan Of l5,O0O,O00 had not, at that date,
been adopted by the Congress of Mexico,
and its passage was still somewhat doubtful.
though probable.
There seems but one imminent cause for
.apprehending war. The people of the Uni
ted States are now solemny bound to defend
the soil and people of Texas. The govern
ment of the United States is conscious of,
its duty, aud will act upon that conscious
ness. The Mexicans have been concentra-
ting their forces west Of the Rio Grande,
with the apparent purpose of making sud
den nroad into Texas. Were they to find
the frontiers defenceless, they would be en-
couraged TO make an Eruption. Such an in
vasion at this time, after the action of the
Texan Congress and Convention, would be
war on the United States. The best way to
preserve peace, is, if possible, 10 prevent
such an inroad, by being prepared for it.
The concentration Of the United States
forces in Texas, and in the Gulf far from
being measure calculated TO provoke hos
iilities, is measure most likely TO prevent
them. The Mexicans, who hive hesitated
10 declare war, only from fear Of consequent
ces, will probably likewise hesitate. about in
yading Texas, if they find themselves with
out the hope Of even temporary success.
