This Resolution was passed unanimously, and
the meeting adjourned. The Assembly were
greatly indebted to Mr. White for the tact and
ability with which he discharged the duties OF
Chairman.
1t is evident, from the large attendance and the
unusual interest manifested, that this is the favor
able moment for move toward relief from the
present uncertain condition of work and remunera-
ton. We trust that every Printer will recollect
that it is by union of all, or at least of great
majority of the journeymen, that this object can be
achieved Let them be as one man, united and
determined to stay united, and all fair and honor
able concessions will come, without strikes or vain
parades and noisy vaporing. Remember, in union
and in union alone-there is strength.

Mesrs Greeley 4 MeEirah;
Since my last dispatch the weather has under
gone most suspicious change-the genial Spring
weather. so peculiar TO this climate is with US now
in all its sharms and renovating influences. The
effect of this change is strikingy visible on the
growing potato crops, and has evidently arrested
the threatened general destruction of our crops,
which feared would take place at the time last
wrote you. This favorable turn proves the correct
ness of my impression that it was not the vertabte
potato disease which had appeared here, but
merely blight occasioned by unusually cold and
damp weather. Our farmers are, therefore, cheer
ing up and will be prepared yet to send you both
potatoes and onions of unrivalled excellence.
Several Whales have been taken by the shore
boats of these Islands since the season commenced.

From Oregon.

We have received files OF the Oregon Spectator
to Feb 81. There is little intelligence of any in
terest About 100 men had deserted from the U.
S. troops stationed in Oregon, and Gen. Lane had
issued proclamation offering a reward Of thirty
dollars TO the persons arresting and returning
them.
OREGoH.-The sun is getting above our horizon
and the day brightens. 1t will be seen that ar
rangements are being made 10 run a steamer regu-
larry between this place and San Francisco; and
also for the establishment of the postoifce system
in this Territory. According to the tenor of our
private advces from the States, we may surely an
ticipate very large immigration the next season
Our resources begin to command more attention In
the States and their enduring qualities secure the
confidence Of capitalists. IL requires no prophetic
spirit to enable US to predict the rapid advance
ment of Oregon in wealth and population.
QUICK PAssAGEs.-The last two vessels that
have arrived the Eliza and Ann Smith, made the
trip from San Francisco into the Columbia in six
days.
FROM BosToS--There is gentleman in this
place who left Boston on the 18th Nov. and ar
rived in Oregon City January 25, just two months
and twelve days. This is the quicket passage
from the States TO this place of which we have yet
heard.
FROM PUGETs SoUsD.-By the arrival Of the
Pleiades from Nesqualy, we are informed that the
Indians in the vicinity had been turbulent and
troublesome. Some time since, two Of their num-
Der were hung by the whites, for some crime com.
mitted. The mode Of punishment was considered
insulting and degrading to their friends who had
determined on revenge. Near the military station,
seven miles above ,Nesqually, they succeeded, by
means Of a squaw, in enticing an old man, cook to
the military hospital, into the woods where they
fell upon him in considerable numbers, and hung
him to a tree. They also endeavored 10 persuade
other Americans into the same trap, but without
effect. At the time of the leaving Of the Peiades,
all endeavors to arrest the murderers had failed.
The whites were much excited, and threatened
vengeance if they were not delivered up by the
tribe. Alta California.

guns which were answered by six from the Eu-
ropa then lying at her dock. The Pacific, deter
mined to have the last word, kept on until nine
guns had been dis charged. She seemed to move
very slowly at first and her delay in the stream, off
the Battery at first led the spectators to fear that
she had net with some accident Soon, however,
she was under fall head of steam, and going

CHEAP POSTAGE AT THE SoUTH.-In several OF
