notice that an extensive expedition is in course of
preparation to leave Charleston, S. c., in a short
time for California. composed of Southern gentle
men with their slaves; the object of the expedi
ton being TO establish slave colony in California
The inducements 10 make the venture are If
course very great, and we see that the subject has
already engaged the attention of numerous GENTLE
men in Georgia. Alabama, Virginia. and Misss-
sippl. Much has been said about the laws of
nature rendering it inexpedent to employ slave
labor in California, but it is well known that
many slaves have already been taken there, not
Wlthstandlng the hazard encountered of losnr
mem, and that thousands more would have been
taken We're the owners certain of being protected
IN the right of enjoying this species Of labor in
that country. Those who have already tested
the experiment, aver that slave labor is much
better investment there than in the United States.
The labor OF a single slave at the mines is worth
ten dollars per day. A slave in California is nav
valued at five thousand dollars.
The success Of the enterprise is rendered tho
more probable, from the fact that several Letters
from influential persons have been sent back 10
limited States, exhibiting the proitableness of
slave labor there, and asserting that laroe nro
portion OF the citizens have become convinced of
its advantages, and that there is consequently an
increasing desire for its Introduction. IN

THE RISE OF LAND IN OREGON Next to Cal
ifornia, Oregon exhibits the greatest advance in
enterprise and population of any other Western
possessions. Eight years ago an Eastern sen
captain visited the place where the thriving
town of Portland, Oregon, is now located. and
found it one vast forest with not building to
be seen. AT that time he took possession of
GAO acres under the act of Legislature granting
land gratis to actual settlers. Within short pe-
Rod, he has been offered $4,000 for one bali

selling ii out in small lots at $500 per lot Be-
tween San Francisco and Portland, a conmuni.
cation by steamers has been established.

CoTrnN.-There are persons yet living who
can recollect when the cotton plant was only seen
in flower pots in which it was cultivated ac-
count of its lovely blossom; one of the prettiest
flowers in the calender of Horticulture. Observ-
ing men in the South who know the history Of
the cotton raising business of this country are
generally Of the opinion that tea growing is about
to become quite as important to us, in even less
time than il has taken us to becorre the great cot
ton producing country Of the world. The charac-
ter Of soil and climate adapted to the growth Of
the tea plant are not such as to make it interfere
