Owing to the publication of the proceed ings of the many primary democratic mee- tings that have been held in the State, and also the proceedings of the Convention on the Sth inst, we have heretofore, been una ble to present our readers with the correspon- dence between the Secretary of State and the British Minister, in relation to the Oregon question.
 In the present number we commence the publication of that correspondence in an abridged form, which will be completed in our next, except the last letter of Mir. Bu- chanan, which is deemed of so mnell impor-- tanee, that we will give it entire. ltis long but nevertheless, ii will be read we trust, by every person in the eounuy-who feels the least interested in the discussion of this ques- ton and ot the unquestionabIe right of the United States to the whole of Oregon.

GENERAL WILLIAM PELHAM.

It may be recollected that, in November last, in consequence of complaints having been made, perhaps by two or three disap. i pointed individuals, to the Commissioner ol the General Land Office. against Wm. Pel- ham, Surveyor General of Arkansas, the Secretary of the Treasury ordered the Dis- trict Attorney to open court, and call upon the individuals to support their allegations oy testimony.
 The court was opened, and remained so until the attorney for the prosecution sad ne was through.
 The District Attorney examined the testl, mony, and reported to the Secretary Of the Treasury, that, ill his opinion, the charges had not been sustained; ard also sent up all the testimony. After an examination of the testimony by the Secretary of the Treasury, the President of the United States nominated Gen. Pelham to the Senate, which body con- frmed his re-aPpointment.
 Gen. Pelham is an experienced surveyor, and devotes his entire time to the duties of his office, which is kept in excellent order.
 We take pleasure in giving place to the note of Judge Ringo-the more so, as he is generally known to the community, as gen. tleman of high moral worth.
 Frrrr Poc55. Ian 0Gth. 1S46 To dlc Editor of the Arkansas Banner:
 Sir-Being called upon by Gen. Pelham for my opinion upon the testimony adduced upon the investigation, made by the United States Attorney, for tue Arkansas District, by the direction of the Secretary of the Treas ury, of certain charges preferred against him, of malpractice in office, will state that attended said investigation, as the attorney of Gen. Pelham, and after careful examination of the testimony, take pleasure in saying that no impropriety of conduc, was established against him; but on the contrary, thereof, il was proven that he had discharged his off sial duties promptly, efficiently, and in every respect consistently with law, and generally .o the entire satisfaction of the deputy sur ,eyors, and all persons who had business with him.
 Respectfully, &c.,

We are glad to see that the distinguished Senator Ashley, of Arkansas, now Chairman of the Committee of the Judiciary, by the voice of the Senate, has proposed bill for the permanent prospective pre-empton right to the hardy pioneers of the West, who, in fact, conquer the Public Lands from the prow- ling beasts and more savage foe.
 This measure is justly due to them, and tends to the more rapid and certain settle ment and cultivation of the public domain.
