Mail route to Oregon On.

Tho report of Mr.. Semple from the
Committee on the Post Office and Post
Roads, shows conclusively the Justice and
the great importance Of Immediately es-
tablishing mail route from the western
line of the State of Missouri to the north Of
the Columbia river. Since the agitation
of the Oregon question, and since the
American people decided that our rights to
the whole territory should be maintained,
and that the jurisdiction of our government
should be extended over her citizens in
that region--the tide of emigration thither
has been rapid. The present population
is estimated at upwards of ten thousand,
and the number is continually increasing.
The enterprising emigrants who are fast
populating that wild region, and bringing, il
to a state Of cultivation, have much to en-
dear them to their native homes. They
have left in the United States their dearest
friends, and they should have safe and
regular medium through which to cOmmu-
nicate with them. The, Committee say,
that "while ten lhousand people in Oregon
are without single post Office or a post
road, it is believed there is not the same
number of people in any other part Of the
United States, that have mot several post
offices, and the mails carried to them at
short periods" Justice then demands that
the federal government should afford them
mail facilities.
But not only does justice to those of our
citizens who have already settled in the
territory Of Oregon require that our gov
eminent should promptly adopt measures
for the establishment Of the proposed mail
route, but the interest of our country impe-
riously require it. For it will be an In
ducement for persons to remove there, and
in every respect promote emigration. The
sooner that territory is settled, the sooner
will we reaPst the advantages Of the inn
mense trade of the Pacific isles aud OF the
East.
The Committee in framing the bill for
the establishment Of the mail route have
left it discretionary with the President
" either to have the mail carried by con-
tract, or cause it to be carried by detach-
ments Of mounted men aPPertaining to the
army Of the United States"

The SOUTHERN LlTERARx NrssENarp
for the present month contains lis usual
quantum Of good reading matter. Among
its most important articles we will mention.
F." A retired list for the Macy" The writer
argues forcibly against the present system
Of promotion in that branch Of our national
service, which is by seniority, and which
contains no provision for experimenting
those who have been disqualified by old
age from rendering efficient service. He
contends that the most successful comman.
ders, have achieved their greatest victories
when in the prime and vigor of life, and
instances among others, the victories Oflho
conqueror Of Italy which were won at the
age of twenty seven, the naval triumphsOt
the immortal Nelson, the hero of the Nile,
who was the glory of his country at an
early age. He therefore urges the prOPd
ETY. of SO altering the present system, that
we may in our navy have men in the yigor
of manhood, who can render it Efficient
To effect this object he proposes to super.
annuate all captains, irrespective OF persons,
over sixty years of age. These to be sup.
ported in after life by a pension of one
half Of their present salary. In reply 10
the objection, which might be urged against
his plan, that il would be source of add.
tional expense, he contends that il would
have contrary effect. For, according to
the present system, there are a large mum.

Among the interesting tales Of fiction,
which adorn the present number, may b
mentioned, MuriuO's picture" which for.
chilly illustrates the uncertainty of all hu.
man hopes. The gifted painter had woo.

the proud city of Madrid. Before her
shrine naughty cavaliers and proud. veal

future bliss arose in his mind. But sOOn
darkness and gloom brOoded over the love-
ly scene. Death laid its cold disrObing
hand upon the object Of his love, and with,
cred the..sOurce of his joy. She faded and
passed away. So it must beWith all the
