LOWER CALIFORNIA.

The Trait d'Union-the French paper in the
City Of Mexco-states it had received intelli-
gence from Mazatan that the political chief Of
La Paz, Lower California had ordered two Amer
leans to quite that place forthwith, and they had
been compelled to comply with the order. The
reason assigned for this arbitrary conduct, was
that the official cleared they were the advance
guard Of the American expedition fitting out in
Alta California to capture Lower California and
Sonora" The two Americans had arrived at
Mazatlan and laid the case before the IT, States
Consul, who had taken the matter in hand The
greatest alarm prevailed at Mazatlan in anticipa
ton of the arrival of the expedition of Americans
from Lower California under the lead of General
Moorhead.
II the New York Tribune has been correctly
informed, the Mexican statesmen have adopted
a wise policy in view of the anticipated seizure
of the province of Lower California That pa
per asserts that agents of the Mexican Govern
ment have recently arrived in this country, au-
thorsed to sell to the United States the two pro-
vinces of Sonora and Lower California, with
chihuahua in addition.

OREGON.

In the rush of emigration towards the golden
fields ofCalifornia, and whilst every newspaper
is filled with intelligence OF all descriptions, and
every steamer brings us another million of the root
of all evil from that State, no one appears to
thinker care about Oregon. Golden harvests may
be more profitable than placers, and certainly there
can be no comparison in comfort between the
filling of fertile soil and the washing of sand in
the barren deserts of California where the Chi
nese and the Saxon, the Sandwich Islander and
Indian, "Black Spirits and White, Blue Spirits
and Grey mingle together like the contents of
the witches caudron.
Oh tortunati agricole 81 sua bona no,1rn, is OIL
der than Virgil and although the truth of the senti-
ment has been illustrated by every day experience
tor thousands of years, man is slow to profit by
the lesson, and doubtless he will continue I'M
changed till the end of the chapter. Now we
have heard accounts of the fertility and resources
ofOregon upon undenable authority, calculated
to make even Kentuckian stare, and abandon in
despair the idea of cheating all creation" Giant
trees, giant-rvers, gant-mountains giant-cattle
giant-brds. The fertility of the soil almost sur
passes belief and every hill and dale are rich in
minerals. When a railroad shall have pierced
the Rocky-mountains, who can estimate the trea-
sures which she will pour into our seaports?
We agree with the New York Express. that
Oregon, with such inducements for immigration,
has brilliant future befo re her. "Her growth is
not forced like that of her younger sister, Calior
MIA, but-steady and natural-it is sure to be all
the more permanent and valuable Her valua bale
minerals, her rich agricultural resources, her un-
paraleled facility for commerce, all hold out
temptation for immigration, which no other new
country in the universe can offer. Here all may
find home that want one. Land may be had
for nothing, beyond promise that it shall be
worked. There are no high taxes, no high rents,
no scarcity of anything, indeed, that can help to
make man comfortable and happy. Such being
the truth, the only wonder is that, great as is the
tide of immigration to Oregon, it is not made still
greater by those who complain of the expressions
and hardships they have to endure from over pop
uiation and over competition in the great cities on
the seaboard'
flour fellow-citizans will be advised by US
they will stay at home, but if the desire for i'm
migration is too strong for them to resist, we beg
them okeep out OF the fires of San Francisco, and
away from the luxurious comforts of the mining
districts, and satisfy their ongings after change,
by driving down their stakes" in the rich bot
toms Of the rivers of Oregon.
