LE LITER l.

To Me Editor of thc Union.
 SIR: The territory of Oregon. extending from the Rockey mountains 10 the Pacific ocean, distance of over thousand miles, and from 42o to 5fo 40' north latitude, may. as to general features of the eouniry, be eon- veniently brought under three great divisions ife first or eastern division in the most ex- tensive and least valuable It is steriI in many portions; but owing to the inillnes. of the climate, and the nulrciousness of the grass, vast herds of buffalo have there sum- mered and wintered from times ilnmemorial. Domestic herds have, at Fort Hall and else where, done the same; and large caravans of laden horses haveannualy passed through it m the most uniavorable seasons f the year., well subslsIng upon the grass indigenous to the country-iastering the conviction, that even eastern Oregon must be of much value as one'of the best and most extensive graz ing districts in the world The water courses from the eastern extreme to the Pa ellie ocean are rapaid in their descent, not admitting of an extensive navigation--eyen the Columbia being navigahle for only l3j miles. Their frequent interruptions by the cascades and rapids have produced wafer privileges unlimited as to extent and power, warrantng ihc conclusion that this country is destined, by the facilties furnished by nature, 10 become large manufacturing country; mere particularly as wool may be grown cheaper and easier than in any other portion of the known world. Upon Bear river, between the Rockey mountains aud Fort Hall, and considerable district about aud embracing that fort--some eight hun dred miles from the paciic-we find favor able surface, fine grass, pleasant scenery, and good soil but the country is sparsely timbered with trees of stinted growth. forbear dwell ling upon the value and interesting character oi the soda springs in this region, intending to devote to them more extended notice hereafter. Following the great emigraiion- road at Frenont's Pass, and pursuing its direct and onward course over a most favor able surface for highway, we come to ano- | ther portion of Oregon more valuable foi civilized man to dwell in. The scenery in the neighborhood of the l Boisee river, is varied, grand, and imposing l the wales, Underground, and hills weI-grasset fle tiaioers Of better growth, and here ant there little district better adapted 10 agri. culture. We now come to that portion embracing the Blue mountains, the Grandt Ronde, and all that district from Burnt rive to the Cascade mountains, covering an exten of country of about 400 milee from east tt west Here the climate is remarkable for ii extreme salubrity, the wooded districts ar well timhered with cedar, fir, oak, SSc tn scenery pleasipgly diversified; and all natur around the locations of the pious missionar establishments planted there, is wearing
 miitier and more agreeable aspect.
