THE ORANGE TREE.

The third week in last month was
unusually cold for Florida. All the
vegetables in The gardens. we're COM
pletely destroyed, and it was feared by
many, that the Orange trees in this
section Of the Slate were either COM
plelely destroyed, or had received .serI-
Gus m injury. We are pleased to learn,
however, that this is not the case, and
that this valuable tree has receiyed very
slight, if any injury from that unfavor-
able weather.
Any accident to he Orange tree at
this time would be regarded at this time
as serious calamity. In 1885, more
than ten years ago, they were entirely
DESTROYED throughout the state, as well
as some Of the most hardy forest trees,
by a few days of intense cold after a
few weeks of warm and wet weather,

WAsHINGToN, January 20.
The reason why the chuuge Of Ministry
IL England is considered here as favorable
10 The adjustment of the Oregon question,
is that the new Ministry is supposed 10
come into power upon the principle of free
trade. Ii will follow thar they will be
disposed TO make a commercial arrange
ment or treaty Tariff with this country.
But it is believed that such an arrange
ment will be proposed TO the British Go
verument by MIR. Polk, and that it is the
loop hole through which he expects 10 es-
cape from the Oregon difficulty. While
SIR Robert Peel was in power the arrange.
menl was lmpractcable. de had taken
the ground, against ecipocal treaties and
wished to get rid Of those which were 10
force. 1t was his wish that all comissions,
on the part of England, TO free trade, shall
be temporary and depend on legislation.
The New York Evening Post condemns
the :. insane course" OF MIR. Adams and
Mr.. Giddings On the Oregon question. II
is now well a.certained that the same in
sane course will be pursued BY all The Pc
cuiar champions Of abotlon in the House
anu i'll the country: witness the lectures
OF Cassius VI. Clay. The "Albion" was
therefore, correct in Its surmlse that the
anti slavery influence would be exerled in
favor OF war with England. MIR. Rhest,
in his speech signihed The same thing.
In The Senate, TO day, MIR. Harnegan
gave notice that he would move as an ad.
dllional section to Mr.. Fairfield's bill fol
The augmentation Of the navy, provision
that the proceeds of the public lands, fol
the last year, amounting 10 S2,0H,O0O be
appropriated 10 huid ten iron steam frig'
ales of the largest class. :.
Mr.. Allen gave notice that he would, or
Friday next, ask leave again 10 introduct
his join, resolution declaratory Of the
principles which would govern The Unitec
States, in regard to The interference o
European powers with The Independent
nations ol America.
January 2l,
There was much opposition TO MI. Sli
dell's nomination as Minister to Mexico
but i, was confirmed by strict party vote
There was debate in The Senate to
day, on the Bill TO augment the Navy
which was called up by MIR. Fairtleld.-
The general expression OF opinion 10 IN
Senate was favorable to the continuance
of peace. The war feeling, if there ma ma
been auy,is considered. an absurdi'y. MT

MR.. YANCEY,

As will be seen under our Washing
ton head, this gentleman on the 9Th inst
delivered a speech inthe House of Rep
resentatives on the Oregon question:
Re took the ground that the giving o.
the notice at this time will be a de.
clded war measure. He referred to the
state of our army and navy, and said
il was evident that we are not prepared
for war at this moment. This being
the case, would not discretion be the
better part of valor? He was for
waiting to see whpr could be done by
lnilder measures. He expatiated upon
the difficulty in carrying troops and pro-
visions TO Oregon, and showed tina, the
British would have decided advantage
so far as a war On that territory was
cencernded. He put it TO-, the western
gentlemen, in particular, whether after
a long and protracted war, peace would
uot be made as at the last war, when
both parties renfained as. they were be-
fore the conlest commenced. ;.
He then drew a glowing picture of
the horrors, Of war, and the tendency it
will have 10 bring upon Us. a burden.
some paper system. If the honor of
the country demanded a war, it wouId
be different matter; but to 60 TO war
at this time for the acquisition of terri
tory, when we are not prepared, would
be highly improper. He was in favor
Of continuing the joint. connection, as
in four: years there would be at least
100000 American settlers there. ;: This

TIE. Oregon .Question.-The ven
cradle Albert Gallatin has commenced
the publication Of a series Of numbers,
on this important question, over his own
signature, in the National lntelligencer.
The object of the patriot and sage is to
pave the way for an amicable arrange
men, of the controversy by counseIing
against extreme pTetensions on either
side, The InleIligencer introduces the
series with the following remarks:
"We feel both pride and pleasure Ill
,fi, papers being honored as the medi-
um for placing before the >eries Of Let
tiers on the Oregon controversy, OF
which the first appears in the paper Of
this day, and three others will follow.
"These Letters singularly important
as we'll as interesting from the charac-
ter and history of the writer, are from
tho pen Of Albert Gallatin, States,
man, Senator, Cabinet Minister, and
Diplomatist Of the old Republican
School, who has survived all his COM
peers, and now literally "lives in the
mids, Of posterily." At the full age Of
eighty-6ve years, needing quiet, and
laboring with difficulty, nothin. but a
proud sense Of duty could have induced
| bin TO take a share in this discussion.
Wha, he has written is meant. for and
addressed to THE PEOPLE. The SUBJ
iect is one which Mr.. Gallalin thorough
lly understands; and though he may
not expect to convert party poli,ici ans
he doubtless believes, and not unreason'
ably, that his letters include views ant
Suggestions that may be useful to al
those whose minds are open to couvIc
tion.'
