DIRTY WoRK.-Many people turn up
their noses at what they call dirty
work" as though all honest labor was
not cleaner than many kid-glove ways of
swindling ones way through the world.
Rather than owe our living to the latter,
we would infinitely prefer to shake car
pets or sweep chimneys at fifty cents per
day. A day or two since we learned an
instructive bit of history touching doer
of " dirty works. holman. No mat
ter where he was born-he was none the
worse for being a Turkman or an Irish
man. He came to this city about ten
years ago, young, healthy and honest, he
could get no employment but hodcarry-
ing, and he carried so we'll as to earn at
once his dollar day. Heprocured good
board and lodging, spent none of his earn
ings in saloons or low places, attended
church on the Sabbath, educated himself
in the evenings, laid up money, and at the
end of five years bought a lot in the city
and built pretty cottage. In one year
more he found good wife, and used the
cottage, before rented out; for these six
years he had steadily carried the hod.
He was a noted worker, an acknowledged
scholar, and noble pattern of man
On the opening of the eighth year his tai
ents and integrity were called to more
profitable account he embarked in bu-
siness already well established. This day
he is worth at least 100000 has love
ly wife and two beautiful children,
home that is the centre of brilliant and
intelligent circle; and he is one of the
happiest and most honorable men as far
as he is known. So much has come of

+ OREaoE AS 1T Is.-The Hon. Joseph
Lane, delegate from Oregon, has issued
a circular, in which be estimates the pop
ulation of that territory at 10000 and
says the emigration is rapidly increasing.
owing not only to the natural advantages
of the country, but to the liberal proyis-
ions made for actual settlers by late law
of Congress. BY that law liberal dona-
tons of lands are made to all who will
settle upon them previous to the first day
of December, 1853, To single man
one hundred and sixty acres, and to a
married man three hundred and twenty
-one-half in his own right, and the 9TH
er half to his wife in her own right, upon
condition that they will live upon it and
cultivate it for four years. The popula.
ton is of a substantial character, much
better than is generally found in new
countries. Those who contemplate emil
grating to Oregon should be ready to
leave st. Joseph, on the Missouri river,
with proper outfit, by the first day of
May. Ox-teams are much to be prefer
red. Provisions for the trip, and sufi-
cient blankets for beddings, with such
tools only as are necessary to repair a
wagon, should be taken. Dry-goods.
groceries, furniture, and farming utensils
of all kinds, are abundant in Oregon. and
no one should think of taking such things
with them. The Scotia Gazette says;
"The West is furnishing quite large
emigration to Oregon, the number last
season being in the neighborhood of ten
thousand. AT the last accounts most of
the emigrants had arrived for the year,
and the families had suffered but little
from sickness, though many had lost pro-
perty from Indian thefts, and few lives
had been taken by the savages.
Oregon is destined to become an i'm
portant State in the Union, and the tide
of emigration thither will be annually in
creased. Those who have been longest
in the Territory write the most iattering
letters of their success, and all concnr in
representing it healthy, productive and
growing country"

There is scarcely one action in which the
slightest imputation can be cast on any
individual. They have never avoided
their enemies, excepting when it would
have been the height of imprudcnce to
have faced them. They have fought with
the most determined valor. They have,
in many cases, been successful over ma

of the ocean and this very circumstance
of combating an enemy flushed with al
most universal victory adds great laurel
to the navy of the United States.
