The Yazoo Democrat. (Yazoo City, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1851-01-15

Oregon.
From the circular ofthe Hon. S.R. Thurs
ton Delegate from Oregon, we learn that
the soil Of that country. is not exceIIed in
prOductiveness, for grain, by any in the
world The climate is delightful and heal.
thy, water power unsurpassed by any
country, timber excellent, and fish and game
in profuse abundance It abounds in coal,
Iron, salt, marble, granite and probably gold
mines. LII. contiguous to California, La
Dor is worth there, from FIVE to fifteen dol
lars a day, and produce as follows:-Pork
10 ga c. per b.; Beef Is ga C. pr h.;
Butter 81; per Id. Cheese 60 12c Wheat
81 so per bushel; Oats So; Eggs 62 l-2 c.
pr. doz.; lumber $55 per M.
Stock is raised, as in Texas, upon to the
wild grass and cane. They are neither fed
nor housed during the winter. A yoke Of
good oxen will sell for $3.50, good Amer.
lean horse for 5000, aud cows for $50
piece. Money is plenty; schools, churches,
mail routes &c. are being established.
To all these natural advantages, Con-
gress, at its last sitting added the very i'm
portant one of giving to each settler home
for himself and family The Bill provides:
That all men over eighteen years o. age,
arriving and settling in Oregon previous
to December 1850, 800 acres o: land, if
single, and if married, GAO acres. II such
single men marry in one year from the
first of december, 1850, shall receive $40
acres. In all cases tho wife is to receive
one half of the above grant in her own right
Ii further provides: that all white males
over twenty-one ,emigrating to the country,
settle there between the first day of Dec
1856, and the first day OF December, 1853,
: shall receive 100 acres of land, if single
! man. and If married man, then 800 acres
But there is also provision here, that if
single men marry i'll one year after arriving
in the Territory, they then receive 800
? acres. All male minors who 90 to the
country, and settle, and become twenty-one
. before December 1888, will receive 16C
J acres of land, absolutely, and if they marry
D i'll one year after arriving at majority, they
: will receive 800. All foreigners by filing
d their intentions of becoming American cit
: liens, are treated like native born American
u citizens. and they are only required TO com
VI pete that naturalization, before they get Z
Y fnal title
3 Besides this Mr.. Thurston goes on t.
;, show tha: the expense Of moving there i
: not serious obstacle in the wag orsettlin,
e up the country.
! Thus we see what powerful inducement
T. are presented, for emigration to Oregon
= greater by far than any ever before offere,
e in this country. With so many cause
e operating in its favor; may we not fairl
conclude that Oregon will very soon hav
population enough, as she already has terri
tory enough, to form half a dozen new
m States, and thus swell the political powe
I. Of the North; and thus bringing nearer an
l. nearer the fatal day, when they will hav
3. the power to accomplish their diabolical d.
y signs upon our slave interest. None al
n so blind as not to see in all these things, tn
Ell final wreck aud ruin of the South. Wi
1t; not the people heed the warning before
o. is too late?
