New Roufc 10 Oregon.

Mr. Jesse Applegate addresses letter to the editors
Of the United States, with regard to discovery which
admits emigrants to the valley of the Willamette
by a southern route. He writes from Fort Hall,
September 10Th:
The new route follows the road 10 California about
800 miles from this place. and enters the Oregon Ter
rory by the way Of the Clamet Lake, passes through
the splendid valleys Of the Rogne and Umpqua rivers,
and enters the valley of the Willamette near its
southeastern extremity.
The advantage gained 10 the en- grant by this
route is of the greatest importance-the distance is
considerably shortencd, TIE grass and water plenty.
and the sterile regions and the dangerous crossings
of the Snake and Columbia rivers avoided. as well as
the Cascade mountains-he may reach his place of
destination with his wagon and property in time TO
build cabin and wheat before the rainy
This road has been explored, and will be opened at
the expense of the citizens of Oregon and nothing
whatever is demanded of the emigranis
Gov. Boggs and party, with many other families Of
responsibility, have changed their destination, and
now their way Oregon. Some of the emigranis
intend stopping in the Umpqua valley, which though
not so large, is quite equal to the Willamette for
fertility.
way-bill, fully describing the road, will be pre-
pared and sent the United States, or Fort Hall,
for the use Of the-spgFanis Of lS47, and pilots
will be required.
The exploring party left the upper settlements of
the Willamette on the 18th June last-crops were
most promising, and the farmers in high spirits.
They met large emigration from California, con-
sstng of the Hon. Felix Scott late of St. Charles
county, Missouri and many others who left the United
States last year: They give decided preference to
Oregon over California.
