The recommendation of President JONES for

OREGON

We have just had conversation with one of the
hardy pioneers who went over the Rocky Noun
tans with the Oregon Emigrating Expedition in
ls42 He remained the following winter in Ore
gon, but did not like the country and left next spring
for California, where he intends to make his perma-
nent home.
He says Oregon is a remarkably hard country to
make living in. The soil is generally seril and
rocky, though there some good valleys and
plains, but the climate is still more discouraging.
There is part of the country out of sghto noun
tains snow-covered at all seasons and, though the
winters are mild for the latitude, the summers are
cold and frosty. The nights are cold at all seasons

atmosphere in the absence of vertical sum- Corn

there is little no chance for internal navigation
What the look is for harbors and external commerce,

Oregon are disappointed and dissatisfied with the
country, and many of them leave as soon as posi-

The address of Governor STEELE to the Legisla-
ture of the State of New Hampshire is in several
respects a curious document. We do not wish to
interfere with the affairs of neighborng State and
shall therefore not comment upon it. About half Of
II is devoted to the discussion of the Tariff, which
he considers the creature of " designing po-
liticians," for the promotion of their own ends
" an Independent Treasury''-the Annexation of
Texas, and the Oregon question. In regard 10 the
latter he says that he does not doubt that :" our
rights 10 that country are clear and unquestion-
able;" and he adds, "nor have | heard single
doubt from any American until after the British
Ministry asserted their claim of right not only
TO the 49h degree of latitude, but to the 54th.''
He, however, admits that our Government some
years ago, unfortunately for us" offered to limit
our claim to the 10th degree How they could
have made this offer, if they considered our claim to
the 54th degree clear and unquestionable, he does
not inform u.s.
This speech is one OF the many examples afford.
ed by State Executives of disposition to NEEDLE
in questions Of national politics when better dis
cretion would have taught them to con6ne them
selves to the affairs of their own State. There are
occasions which it is pertinent and highly pro-
per for State Executive, in addressing his Lee
gsIature to allude to topics of great public interest,"
depending on the action Of the National Govern
ment. But unless il can be done more successfully
than in the present case, il would be the part of
prudence to let those subjects alone.

THE PHILADELPHIA ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS
DESTROYED BY FIRE.

A little before midnight of Wednesday the Aca-
deny of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, believed to con-
tain the best collection of Paintings in the United
States, was consumed by fire, supposed to have
been communicated by an incendiary.
The fire was first discovered beneath the Statue
Gallery, which was entirely destroyed, with all its
contents; and, spreading to the Library room, a
large number OF pictures were destroyed before they
could be removed. Several pictures of great value
were also lost in the Rotundo. With great efforts,
the valuable Library, chiefly present from Napo-
leon Bonaparte, was saved, though considerably
injured The losses of pictures, in many instances,
are rreparable.
