OREGON. The following provisions of
bill recently passed by the Legislature of Ore
eon, it will be seen, offer quite premium to
those emigrants who are married, or who enter
the bonds of wedlock within one year from the
LIST of December, 1850;
" A bill was passed, giving to all men over
eighteen years OF age, arriving and settling in
Oregon previous to 1850, 800 acres of land, if
single, and if married $40 acres. The bill al
so provides that if single men marry in one
year from the first of December, 1850, they
shall receive GAO acres White males over
twenty-one. emigra,ing and settling there, be-
fore December, 1853, shall receive l60 acres
of land if single, and if married, then 800.
There is also provision that if single
man marry in one year after arriving in the
territory he can receive 800 acres All male
minors who 90 to the country and settle, and
become twenty-One before December, 1853,
will receive 100 acres of land, absolutely, and
if they marry in one year after arriving at ma
jority, they will receive 800. All foreigners,
by filing their intention of becoming American
citizens, are treated like native-born American
citizens, and they are only required TO com
plete that naturalization before they get final
title.
The Oregon Legislature seems TO consider
matrimony benefit TO the State, and hence
their liberal donation to encourage men to
take TO themselves wives In California,
they seem TO think differently, for we find that
the Legislature Of that State has spent several
days in trying 10 pass a law, providing a con-
venient way for divorcing married people.

1t appears to have been upheaved with the
bill or mountain in which it is found. The
vein or stratum is imbedded between large
masses of rock, w hich renders it somewhat
difficult and expensive to work, but no
shaft is necessary to reach the Coal, as ii

are that the supply is inexhaustiblc--,he

"Our good old Wings though so badly

Ills nomination was very judicious one,

Another letter from the same county

among some of the disaffected in the lnre
election, towards Frederick Cabell.
For one, | am more of why if posi-

the card of Mr.. Ridgway the gallant and
talented young standarJ-bcarcr Of the
Wings in the late election. Its style and
spirit are admirable and the latter is wor-
thy TO be emulated by all the true Wings
