ANOTHER FREE SOIL STATE.

A movement has lately been set on foot
by the settlers in Oregon Territory, which has
for its object the organization Of a separate
Territorial Government for that portion which
lies 10 the north Of the Columbia river. 1t is
to be call the Columbia Territory, and through
out tsvast extent is we'll adapted to agriculture,
commerce, and manufacturing. For the pro-
motion of this object Convention of twenty
five delegates assembled at Carolitz, Lewis
county, on the 29th of August, and, after dis
cussing the matter, unanimously adopted the
following resolution:
"That committee of three be appointed by
the President of the Convention to prepare
suitable memorial on that subject to Congress,
and that the same be forwarded to the DELEGATE
in Congress from Oregon Territory, requesting
him to use his influence to procure the organi-
zation OF a separate Territorial Government"
Previous to the session of the Convention, a
committee on districts and counties having
been appointed, the territory north Of the Co.
lumbia river was divided into twelve counties,
with we'll prescribed boundaries. The conven-
ton is to meet again at Oily mpia some time a.
bout the middle of next May, there to form
State Convention, preparatory to asking admis-
sion into the Union rs one of the States thereof,
provided that Congress has not at that time
organized Territorial Government

The high sheriff of a city in the South Of
Ireland was accused last week in the Crystal
Palace, to his great amazement of picking
pockets, and upon this transferred to the police.
The worthy gentlemen repudiated the charge
with horror and indignation! nevertheless, a
purse Of lS sovereigns was found in his pocket,
which he avowed did not belong to him. The
protestaton and assurances Of the high sheriff,
who gave his address, set the local authorities
upon the alert, and after sharp scrutiny Of
the visiters, the detective recognized a noted
member of the swell mob, who it appears, a
few minutes before had relieved visiter of
the identical purse, which was instantaneously
missed, and the scoundrel fearing exposure
conveyed the purse with singular dexterity to
the pocket of the Irish high sheriff, who was
in his vicinity, ard as quickly disappeared in
the crowd Explanations apologies followed

EFFEcrs OF THE RECENT FRosTs-lhe

ErrEcrs OF THE RECENT FRosTs.-The
Newberry Sentinel of Wednesday says.
This District in common with other portions
of the State was visited, on Thursday and Fri
day, the 23d and Oath Of last month, by two
severe and killing frosts. We omitted to note
the incident at the time, in order that we mig gh'
ascertain and report their effects upon the i'll,
coming crop of cotton, with some degree OF
certainty. The information we have received
since their occurrence, warrants us in saying
that they have proved completely destructive OF
the late bolls. The bolls destroyed made their
appearance after the rains in the latter part OF
the summer. BY reason Of the subsequent
drought they had an appearance of maturity
which gavespromise that thay would material
ly aid IN eking out the scanty yield of the ear
ly crop. This promise has, we regret to say
proved delusion, notwithstanding the late ia
vorable weather The crop in this district the
present year will be materially less than the
crop of last year. Many of the farmers have
finished picking; sure indication that the CROP
is light one.

BEING SHoRT.-The following anecdote, told

preachers mean by "being short"

London. The congregation, in their eager.
ness to obtain seats, had already been assem-.

assist me by reading chapter for me in the first
instance. He chose the very longest chapter
in the Bible, and went OH with his exposition
for an hour and half When my turn came,

The Terra Haute Qnd) Express says, that
lately, the infant son of Mrs. Seebuger, OF
that place, was taken i'll. His mother seeing
him in such agony, was totally unnerved, and
the neighbors coming in and seeing her very
great excitement and distress, insisted that she
should lie down on the bed--telng her that
the little boy would be better. Mrs. S. accord
ingly laid down, and those present left the
room few moments to attend to the boy, but
when they came to her bedside afterwards,
they found her corpse! All the means restor.

died from alright.

THE PLAGUE AT CAPE PALMAS.

DEATH OF THE U. S. CoUNSTL AND FAMILY.
A correspondent of the New York Journal
Of Commerce, dating on board the U. S. brig
Porpoise, Sept. 4, says:
Our stay at Teneriffe will be longer than it
otherwise would have been, on account of a
terrible malignantdiseasce ex ting at Palmas, an
other port in this group Of islands, which we
were to have visited, but are now obliged to
give up. The mortality there has been fearful
indeed. Since the disease first broke out, one-
fifth of the whole population Of $4,000 have
been swept, of, and the fever is still raging,
though somewhat abated. 1t is not thonght
to be the cholera, for it is very contagious; but
death succeeds the attack. 1t is supposed to
have been brought to the island in small yes
sci from the coast of Africa. The family Of
our consul (Mr. Torres) together with himself,
are all dead with the exception Of one child.
He was very worthy man, and had several
handsome and interesting daughters, who
were greet favorites with the officers of our
ships that touched there. Mr.. Torres sent them
all into the interior upon the first appearance
of the peslcnce, but hearing afterwards
that some of them were sick: he started oil to
ioin them, and on his arrival found them all
dead, servants included, with the exception OF
the child here mentioned. In less than five
hours after he himself was a corpse. The
panic and the distress on the island is incon-
ceivable. No communication is allowed with
it from the adjacent islands, except this, from
whence small vessel sails twice week for
letters, to port that has as yet escaped the
malady. Every precaution is taken, by smok-
lng the letters that are sent, with birthstone,
and dipping them in vinegar, and by putting the
vessel in quaratine as soon as she arrives, in
order that the disease may not be communica-
ted to this island Here it is remarkably heal
thy; only two deaths having occurred during
the past month, out of the population of over
| $1,000

ORANGE WINE.-We were permitted to

doubt when mellowed by age that it will com.
pare favorable with the imported article.

consignment of one hundred cats, for the Cali

that in Oregon it is not uncommon to exchange
horse for cat, as horses and mice are plen.

WRITING For THE rREss.-Thc London
Morning Post gives certain rules on this sub
ject, which we commend to the attention of
our contributors:
81. Use note-sized paper, because large
sheet covers the printers case, and hnders his
work. 2. Do not write on the back Of the pa.
per, as that doubles the time Of printing the ar
cle-while one side is being set up, what is
written on the back cannot be gone on with.
3. Write with dark black ink; for an editor
will read with reluctance what he sees with
difficulty; and the compositor, for the same
reason, will dislik to set up. 4. Always write
a plain, bold hand, some hands which are ele.
giant are too elegant to be understood. II
you send an indistinguishable scrawl, 1t Will
be thrown aside until the editor has leisure to
make it out, which may not be until the inter-
est of the article has passed away, and it may
be too late to print it 8. Remember, that
whatever gives an editor trouble at his desk @
doubles the expense in the printing office. The
printers and readers waste in deciphering bad
MS; and out of any failure in Interpretation,
commonly grows charge against the journal
for misrepresenting the writer. 6. lfyou know
that the editor will take any trouble to obliIge
you why give him any trouble you please!-
You may scribble with pin on our butter pa
ner and the editor will try to make it out, but
if the editor is under no obligation to you'll
you are not so popular that anything must Dc
printed that bears your name, why cieaVe 10
