navigation of which is so difficult and dangerous,
according to all accounts In that event, he would
have had more reason for calling upon the protec-
ton of Loyola, as well as more need for 1t. We
mean this without irreverence.
The discovery of this new channel in the Colum-
bia river removes the only impediment which ex-
listed in the way of Oregon becoming the richest,
most prosperous, and most eligible of our territory
bordering on the Pacific. She may not possess
gold mines in such abundance, or 80 rich, as Cali
fornia does but she has what is good, and per-
hsps better-a soil rich without parallel, adelicious
climate, abundance of coal and TIMBER water power
without end, and aavigable streams which abound
with fish of TIE rarest and best quality. The Co
lumbia river stretches from its mouth about two
hundred miles to the east, thence it takes a north
erly direction for distance of one hundred
and fifty miles, and thence extends eastwardly
again for distance of one hundred and seventy
miles. 1t is navigable distance of iifyfour miles
above Vancouver, or about one hundred and fifty
four miles from its mouth. The Willamette is a
tributary of the Columbia, and furnishes an mex
haustble water power. Every description of grain
can be successfully cultivated in Oregon, and the
Columbia and its tributaries abound with the finest
salmon and other fish, such carp and trout.
! With simple basket, the Indians catch two hun
dred and fifty salmon at haul and so numerous
are this fish, that when the rivers overflow and
again recede, myrads of them are left on the banks
and in the gulleys, the stencil of which, when pu-
trefachon sets in, is experienced at distance of
miles. An immense trade in fish could be carried
on between Oregon and California, South Ameri-
ca. end the United States.
We have thus cursorily referred to the many ad-
vantages which Oregon possesses. Rich in all
that furnishes necessares and Injuries for the use
of man, with everything that could be desired in
soil, climate, rivers, timber, and water power that
territory promises to be one of our wealthiest
States, before many years Let emigrants direct
their steps thther, and let enterprise and energy
develope its resources, and it will become the gar
den of the United States-the choicest spot on the
American continent.

The PRoGREss o. SCIENCE IN AMERIcA-THE
LATE CONVENTION AT YALE CoLLEGE-We this
day publish the conclusion of the proceedings of
the learned convention at Yale College, New
Haven, to which we fava, throughout the past
week, devoted considerable space, because we
deemed it not alone important to the scientific
world to give the communications somewhat in de.
TAIL. but we were convinced that while we pro-
moted the individual interest of the American
Scientific Association, W at the same time showed
TO surrounding nations that there are men OF
science within this ontnent in whose minds native
thoughts arise, and form body for themselves;
men who see rot with the eye alone, but with the
understanding; and describe, not merely with the
tongue, but with the m No; men whose untiring
industry, in NATURES creative laboratory, espy
marks of her opeI atoms, and turn them to human
purpose.
The American Scientific Association numbers,
amongst its members, many men of great capacity
of intellect, and deep studied knowledge of the
lofty stage of science, acquaintance with the
phenomena of earth, and knowledge of heavenly
bodies, their magnitude, their motions, and their
distances
Those who have read the account of their late
proceedings, as extended throughout the pages OF
the Roaid, for some days past, will not only be
ente rtaincd, but instructed, and may receive, from
their perusal, world of information, which il has
taken a large body of men years, perhaps, to
ascertain.
In this convention we had a combination of IA
Ient-rare in its separate excellence-honorable to
new country yet in its infancy of independence.
and such as is seldom to be witnessed at one as
IN of oil nha ". 4
luminous communications on the various branches
of science. In them may be found descriptions OF
plants, the distinctive characters of shells of mol
usca, the decomposition of rocks and minerals, of
fossils of many kinds, of reptiles of fish in all its
yertabreta, and as compared with man, of dyna-
miecs, gavanic wire electricity, lunar distances,
tidal and meteorological observations, optical
moving figures, the theory of solar spots, magnets,
cry stalls nitrates the anthracite coal regions, ex
permenls of coors in vision, American minerals,
magnets. the structure of cells in animals the rep
titan footprints metoTtes, solar eclipse, measure
ments, age of the metamorphc rocks of Eastern
Massachusetts,, the terrestrial mollusca in Jamaica,
the absorption Of acids by solutions, longitudes,
and various other interesting subjects ofchemistry,
geology, natural history, physics, and mathematics.
We had also highly interesting communication
on the volcanoes Of Central America, which will
form not the least interesting of the documents
furnished at this assembly.
The whole will make an interesting volume for
the scientific world, and the convention Of $50 $50
will be an epoch long remembered amongst the
fraternity of philosophers, one that has tended
to elevate and improve the youthful mind, whilst it
has added new vigor, and given new impulses
TO those already honored alike in science and in
wears

DOUBLE SHEET.
TsIegraphIc Summary.

The Fugitive Slave bill was disposed of yester-
day in the Senate, having been passed by hand
scme majority; after. doing which that body ad-
journed to to-day. 1t is intimated that executive
business, good deal of which is On hand, will
occupy the attention of the Senate until the appro-
priation bills are brought before them. An attempt
was mede yesterday TO fix day for adjournment,
but it was unsuccessful, for the members of the
Senate are doubtless anxious to see the fate of the
territorial bills in the other branch of the legisa-
ture.
The Civil ard Diplomatic Appropriation bill was
discussed in the House, and two or three amend
ments made to it; one providing thirty thousand
dollars for books for the members, and another
giving eighteen thousand for outfits for new minis
tiers. We do not think the House are as indus
Hous with this bill as they ought to be, consider
ing the situation Of the country, and the urgency
,here exists for prompt action on the territorial
bills We hope they will get rid of the bill to-day
and 20 to work at the Senate bills.
Our Geographic information from st. Louis JUS
tifies the belief that the wings have elected four of
the FIVE members Of Congress, making gain to
that party Of four members for the next Congress.
Ths election in Indiana, it appears, has resulted
In favor Of the democrats. This was expected.

The vast con merce of our rapidly Increasing
country will be the cement ofthe peace of nations;
and, jealous of any infractions upon il or 'on its
interests, we shall be able to demonstrate against
any cruel and uncalled for aggressions by the
powerful nations of Europe. The Gar of Russia
may have his ambitious projects, without number,
and sternly magnificent in their imaginary spen-
dor, but the practical execution of them cannot be
carried out while our interests oppose barrier to
their dangerous display.
With Switzerland and Turkey acting in unison
with US, these two nations will become important
for the maintenance of peace and for the security
of commerce, and happier still may be the day when
we count upon France as another nation in the
natural league against arbitrary oppression and the
hostile extension of kingly empire.
