From fks EmisA. THE CHAPTER OF THE HUDSON BAY COMPANY.

We published, with great pAe&sure, tn last evenings Union, the speech of Col Benton ia executive session, upon the ratification oi the Oregon convention. We were .Iesirous especially of presenting his arguments in op- position to the perpetual navigation of the Columbia Iiyer. which, some of the whlg presses eonsend, enasss to the Hudson Bay Company. and 10 fhc British sahieets who trade with them. In connexion with these remarks which fell fsom the lips of the sena- tor Gom Missouri, as well as those which were skeiched by our own pen, we now beg leave to annex the following editorial article iron the las, Westminster Maryland Dcm- ocrat:
 ~THE NAVIGATION or THE CoLUMRIA.-- Much has been said of late respecting the navigation of the Columbm river, whether i, has been granted io the Hudson Bay Con- Pany in perpe,ui.y, or oaly for term of years. The treaty gives the right to the com pany generally, without any words of Eifn- isalion; and II his been ascertaineti tfat tiIcir charter is perpetual. This would seem 10 seiile the question; but the fact is, that the charter granted originally to the Hudson Bay Company by Cb.ctes II, in 1871, was con fined Ie the territory east Of the Rocky mountains; whereas the only privilege con- eedcd to tie company west of the Rocky mountains. was a crown grant for exclusive trade with the Indians tn that territory for . term of twentv-one years, which expires in 1859. The right to navigate the Columbia expires with that grant; and the only ques- iioa is, whether the right could be renewed by an extension of the grant by the British government To he sure. ihe navigation of that river is limited to single company, and few years will render iI barren right, in a great measure; vet we were so~weIl con viaced that the President would not yield the free nayigaiioa of the river to any Brit. ish subjects for an iadefine,e period-unless, indeed, overraied by the advice of the Sen- ate. to which he agreedto suhmii--that we could not believe that question was over looked We are glad to md that the con- strue,ion of the Senate was, that inc right expired ia 1853, and that the Bsilish govern ment was apprised thereof. previous 10 is 6hal ratification of the treaty. To prove this. we offer the following extract oi a lel- ter from Alr. Buchanan, 10 our mlnIster iii London, dated June I3. l846:
 :. I have learned from she best sources that the Senate gave ihis mdvice under iEfe conviction that, by the true construction of the second article of the projet. the right of the Hudson Bay Company to navigate the Columbia woaitl expire with the termination of theig prescott license 70 tslde with the h. dians. &c.. on t5e northwest coast of AmeFi- ca, on tite 30t3i May, 1859. In converse ton wi.h Mr. paAenbam io-slay, eommuni- cA;ed this fact 10 him. and requested hiln to state | ia his despaie, 10 Lord Aberdeen.
 The treaty will be signed and sent to the Senate on Monday next; aHd il is more than probable that they will, 'n some form or other, place upon their record iheir un- derstsndng of is true construction in this particular

A WoMAN.-It will be remembered
that we published some time since n par
agraph stating that the lady of Colonel
Lew IS, one Of the Indian Commissioners,
accompanied him on the expedition among
the wild tribes Of the West. A party
from the expedition, accompanied by ma.
ny chiefs from various tribes, arrived late
" at New Orleans on their way to Wash

their appearance, and several anecdotes
of adventures. Mrs. Lewis was very
important adjunct to the expedition, and
was of great service in conclllating the
SguauS of The chiefs and in this way
opening the way for friendly intercourse
The Tropic relates the following incident
which will be found to 60 straight to the
heart: oentthet.

To an Absent Wife,
BY C. D. PRENTICE.

IT'S morn--the sea breeze seems 10 bring
Joy, health, and freshness on its wing
Bright flowers, to me all strange and new,
Are gl,tcring in the early dew
And perfumes rise from every grove
As incense to the clouds that move
Like spirits DER yon welkn clear
But am sad--thou art not here.
IT'S noon--a calm, unbroken sleep
Is on the blue waves of the deep
soft haze like fairy dream
Is floating over wood and stream
And many broad magnolia flower,
Within its shadowy Woodland bower,
Is cleaning like lovely star
But am saJ--thou art aiar.
IT'S eve--on earth the sunset skies
Are painting their own Eden dyes
The stars come down and trembling glow
Like blossoms in the waves below
And, like some unseen sprle, the breeze
Seems lingering mid these orange trees,
Breathing It's music round the spot
But am sad--I see thee not.
IT'S mdnigtt-with a soothing spell
The far tones of the ocean swell
Soft as a mothers cadence mild
Low bending DER her sleeping child
And on each wandering breeze are heard
The rich notes Of the mocking bird
In many a wild and wondrous lay
But am sad--thou art away.
sink in dreams--low, sweet, and clear,
Thy own voice is in my ear
Around my cheek thy tresses twine--
Thy own loved hand is cIasped in mine
Thy own soft lip to mine is pressed
Thy head is pilowed on my breast
Oh! have all my heart holds dear
And ain happy--thout art here.

New Engine of war.

A new warllke engine, an improve
mcnt on the ancient bdHag, which wero
used by The Romans to throw stones. has
been invented hy the Messrs REYNOLDS
g. Brothers, of kndorhook. But power.
tai rs thus new weapon Of war seems to be,
1t does not exceed, il we may credit au-
Gent authorities, the ancient baliSfR of
the Romans, The Roman bdliStp were
OF three sizes, some that throw stones
weighing halt hundred weight, others
throwing a whole hundred weight. and
others sill more powerful throwing stones
weighing three hundred weight They
had also smnlI bdliste, which threw stones
weighing only about two pounds. jose
phus, who gives an account of the desuruc-
live force ol'lhese engines Of war, says that
they threw stones to the distance Of quar-
ter of mile. OF the structure Of these
powerful engines. we at the present day
are ignorant. They were invented soon
after the time Of Alexander the Great. ---
Oar modem baiistG, of Mcssrs. Reynolds
Il Brothers, is thus described by the New
York Mems: ~ o Bulletin.
"I is called Protecting Engine, md the
rapidIly andprecislon with which the balls
were propelled seemed almost beyond
comprehension. The experimental model
was fitted 10 throw lenden missile OF one
ounce aud half, and was capable, simply
with tho exerlon Of two men at crank,
to drive these balls through two inch
plank at the distance Of $50 yards. The
projeclIe force is obtained by the cenlri.
fugal tendency OF the ball to fly off from a
horizontal wheel, while revolving alta very
high velocity and, The engine seems 10
be perfectly manageable, delivering its
fatal messenger at any point Of the com
pass desired, and at the rate OF hOenty-siB
balls per second! If the slnguino expec.
talions Of the inventors should prove cor
rect, this fearful engine of destruction Will
doubtless be OF great service to the Gov
ernmGnt in tae prosecution OF any war,
present or prospccllyei and we trust that
It's powers will DO fully tested by a compc-
tent commission. In the experiments Of
Saturday, the balls were driven with much
force against an iron target, OF the dis
lance of some seventy yards, the limits
Of the yard not permitting a wider range.
Many Of them were beaten FIAT and spread
out TO the size of dollar. The inventors
state that the principle may be applied
to snot of any size, aud with increased
propOrlionalo success-tao point blank

Of any arm now IN use"
