OREGON CrrY.-A writer in the Bos.

to the Columbia. Portland was COM
menced about three years since, is now
quite village, and is destined to become
much larger being at the head waters of
ship navigation, although small vessels
can run nearly up to the "Falls." At
the Falls is situated the "Oregon City,
This is the most populous town in the
territory, destined ere long TO be celebrat-
ed for its manufactures. There is any
quantity of water power.
Now from Oregon city l Travelled 20
miles West so miles South and is miles
East. In my various jannts became ac-
quainted with all classes ofthe population,
and more kind and hospitable people l
never met with. AT present a majority
of the male part of the population is in the
mines of California and probably no mi

vessel brings numbers returning TO their
homes. Wealth is very rapidly rolling
into Oregon. About twenty saw mills are
now hnsily cutting out lumber, which sells
for 800 per thousand, at the mills. II
costs another hundred to freight IL TO San
Francisco, where it sells for $500 and
$500 per thousand. For ages, may say,
tie lumber of Oregon will be source Of
wealth. This is fine country for wheat
and other grain. The Winters are mild,
so that herds of horses and cattle need but
little fodder. A person needs 10 visit the
country to fully acquaint himself with its
internal resources. The people are now
laborng under great difficulties, owing TO
the dilatory ae,ion Of Congress. The
subject of land claims is altogether unset
tied. The custom now is for any person
to establish on any unoccupied land, and
claim one mile square. People do not
feel secure in making improvements. Let
the land titles be rendered secure and it
would very soon put a new face on the
whole appearance Of things in Oregon
According 10 recent census under the
authority of Cover Lane there are be-
tween 8 and 10000 inhabitants in Oregon
not including Indians and foreigners.

The Conra &c Maiden.

by HENRY SMITH, THE RAZOR sTRoP MAN.
know young and lovely maiden, love-
lier far than the rose of summer, or the
bright star Of the evening. Her rosy cheek
was never wet with the tear Of anguish,
her snowy breast ever moved with the
sigh of sorrow. Her parents doa,ed on
her with wild, deiusive hope, believing
that she was TO be their stay and comfort
in their old age, and that her soft taper fin

This fair maiden loved-yes, she loved
and reciprocal affection blessed her young
brow; she was led TO the altar by one of

the Congaree, and cheering were the pros
poets around them. The little birds war
bled around their dwelling, sung only the
songs of their love, and their days passed
on as happily as did those Of the first in
Eden, before the triumph ofthe foe Of man.
Blu, soon dream Of sorrow darkened
the door Of their happy mansion. The
husband awoke each morning to be tortur-

stood, with tremulous hands, and streams
of blood flowed down from his lacerated
cheeks and neck, until he wrthed in ago.

was insupportable-each day brought him
nearer drunkard's grave; for his troub-

warmth Of intemperance, and he bathed his
troubled soul in lis delusive CLEANS. The
unhappy wife pined and grieved. She had
nothing upon which 10 lean for comfort
Her idol-her husband was wretched and
miserable, and how should she be happyl
She mourned as one having no comfort.
One fine summer day, CHANGED to pass
their house, now the house OF trouble and

were no longer smooth; the gate swung
upon one hinge, the garden looked neglec-

The Miterots Robber.-The stratagem
which we are about to describe, might
succeed in France, but we suppose it
would be wholly Intellectual to rescue a
robber from conviction in this country,
where it is fair presumption that every
one can read.
A gentleman passing late at night over
the Pont Neuf in Paris, was accosted by
polite and seemingly supplicant strang
er, who asked him to read paper that
he had just picked up. The gentleman
held up his lanthorn and complied. The
following is a translation Of the lines,
Speak not word when this you've read
Or in an instant you'll be dead;
Give up your money, watch and rings,
Or other valuable things:
Depart then, quickly as you will,
Only remember silence still.
The gentleman thought it best to deliv-
er up his valuables as required.
The robber was afterwards recognized
by the person robbed, and arrested. His
identity was positively sworn to, and the
following confession was made, by the
criminal.
Ny Lords: confess that on the even
ing specified, met this gentlemen on the
Pont Neuf, and the transaction occurred
as he has related it but yet am far from
being guilty. l cannot read; | picked up
the paper and thought it might be of con-
sequence. Seeing that the gentleman had
lan,horn, begged him TO do me the IA
vor to read the paper. He complied, and
then to my surprise, put his watch, rings,
and money, into my hands. | was SO as
tonished that could not ask him what he
meant, and supposed tina, the paper was
of great value, and that he had given me
his money, rings, and watch, to get rid of
me. Thus if any one was wronged, it
was I, and hope justice will be done
me.o
Justice however, was not done the
rogue, for he was acquitted.-.7merican

KOSSUTH.


A race of mobiles may die out,
A royal line may leave no heir;
Wise Nature sets no guards about
Her pewter plate and wooden ware.
But they fail not, the kindlier breed,
Who starry diadems attain; ~
To dungeon, AK, and stake succeed
Heirs of the old heroic strain.
The zeal of Nature never cools,
Nor is she thwarted OF her ends;
When capped and dulled her cheaper tools,
Then she a saint and prophet spends.
Land of the Magyars though it be
The tyrant may relink his chain,
Already thine the victory,
AS the just Future measure gain.
Thou hast succeeded thou hast won
The deathly travails amplest worth;
A nations duty thou hast done,
Giving a hero to our earth.
And he, let come what will of wo,
Has saved the land he strove to save;
No Cossack hordes, no traitors blow; sz
Can Quench the voice shall haunt his grave.
Ell Kossuth am: o! Future, thou
That clear'st the just and blotpst the vile,

Remembering what was ere while. -
