MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR OF ORE.

MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR OF ORE-
eoN.-The following is brief synopsis
of the Message of Gov. Abernethy, to the
legislature of Oregon
By theS Message, which is t"rse and
we'll written it would seem tina! So far as
I crimes and morals are concerned, the
Celifornians are quite in advance OF
the United States. The Governor atlrib-
utes the prosperity OF The country to the
absence of Intoxicating liquors, but al
though he recommends the proh,b,tlJn Of
dis,illeries, he licences to sell liquor and
vetoed restraining act passed by a
two third vote. The message strikes for
cheap postage, recommend ing 5 cents as
The price for single letters, and in propor-
ton for double letters and packages, and
l cent for newspapers. The Governor
ma intaiss that the presen, high rates are
prohib,ory except to paper, and :ha, the
consequence OF small receipts the mail
routes are badly kept or are abandoned
He also calls the attention to such I'M
provements of the ha rbor and river navi>
cation. and the appointment, of pilots, as
shall induce more extensive commerce.
Many whaling ships will winter at Ores
gon City when these improvements are
carried out. He recommend stringent
penalties agains. such as entice mtn to
desert from ships or harhor them. OF
the past season, and the condition Of the
country, he speaks most favorahly ,proph~
ecylng it's future comm rcial import nee.
Gov. Abernethy was the frs mayor
Of Oregon city, aud was formerly a poor
boy in the city of New York. An old la
dy in that CITY boarded him and sent him
to school for months, giving him such inS
struction as has made him what she may

Immediately pushed forward after them.
Having once got upon the right track, he
found little trouble in keeping it. Toward
nightfall, and when he was near the New

which time he mad ascer Ia med that the obs

suit until after dark. AT length, seeing

ARRIVAL OF THE WASHINGTON.

Highly Important from, Europe II Days
Later; State Of the Flour, Gram, and
COftsn Market; Affairs in Ireland, &c.
The steamship Washington sailed from
Liverpool on the 10Th, and was compelled
to put back for more coal. She experienced
heavy easterly winds and head seas during
the passage, and reached New York after
passage OF 20 days.
Fearful riots are raging in some parts
Of Ireland-caused partly by the Famine
and partly by the oppressive exactions
of the landlords.
The heavy decline in Corn which took
place at the beginning of the month has been
checked Since the 18th the market has a.

still larger supplies from the United States and
BY way of the Mediterranean, added to the
fine weather which prevails in all quarters
depressed. which presented eaery prospect Of
an upward movement.
The potatoe crop is represented as favora-
Bile, and contributed not little TO affect

EThe War with Mexico, says the
B,ston Atlas, exhibits itself in several stri>
king and singular attitudes. From the day
th first gun was fired on the Rio Grande
u'til now, we have gone ON in one unEro>
ken career of conquest and victory, and yet
we have in reality done but little subslan-
tial injury TO the people or Government Of
Mexico, compared with what we have suf>
fered. At low computation the bodies of
ten thousand American citizens, many Of
them the very floor Of cur youth, lie buried
beneath the green sward of Mexico. We
have accumulated a national .ebt of per.
haps one hundred millions of dollars, and
what have we to show for all this expendi.

They were undoubtedly the dregs of the
Mexican population, and their loss is not
deeply lamented by the middle classes or
persons of property who have suffered from
their extor'ion, during the civil wars which
have been of such frequent occurrence in
that republic. 1t is a singular fact, that
while the Americans, in nearly every battle,
have lost large portion of distinguished Of
ficers, hardly Mexican officer of any dis.
tinction has fallen in battle. However
freely the common soldiers have offered
up their lives, the officers, either through
