From Oregon

From The San Francisco Picoy,ns, December Is.
In Oregon, from which have had intelligence
up To the oh instant, there had been some heavy
fals Of rain, and the Columbia river had riscn rap
idly. Three persons had been murdered near Van
couver-one Ksnaka, another a soldier, and
third an Indian. The murderer Of the soldier had
been arrested. No news had yet been received
from the Queen Charlotte gold and cxplorin q
purity. few days previous to the departure of the
supcrintcnd MT Of Indian Affairs for Wsshing gton,
n treaty had been concluded with the Clac cksmas
tribe, in which they cedcd TO the United S ates all
the land claimed by them. They are to receive
an annuity of twenty five hundred dollars for ten
years. Gold has been discovered on Puget Sound,
twenty. five miles from Stcilacoom. There seems
TO be the same confusion in Oregon as in Cslifor-
niawith respect TO the scat Of government. Mon
day, December |, being the day appointed FOR the
meeting of the Legislature, Columbia Lancaster, a
member OF the Council, and Mcssrs. Wait and
Matock, of the House, assembled at Oregon City,
the seat Of the last Legislature, and organized, as
far as was possible. But the rect of the members
convened at Salem, the place selected for the cap
ital by the last Legislature. On tho same day n
majority OF the supreme court, Judges Nelson and
Strong, assembled at Oregon City, and on Tues
dny delivered an opinion, declaring the Location
act invalid, and that, consequently, Oregon City
was the capital Judge Pratt, the third member
OF the court, went TO Salem, and holds that place
the capital. Considerable trouble, it s anticipated
will grow out OF this confusion.

Fire dollars each share is to be paid at the tune
of subscribing, and a like amount every sixty
days until the whole is paid.
The advantages of such road TO the city, and
the property in the vicinity Of the road, must be
apparent 10 all conversan with its situation There
is but little doubt that similar road will soon be
built, connecting this road with Rockville and
Brookville--the last in the midst OF fine agri-
cultural country; thus opening direct and easy
route from Montgomery and the upper part OF
Anne Arundel counties TO this city for the trans
portation of the products Of thatand the surround
ing country
Plank Roads are being most extensively con-
structed throughout the country, and have every
,cbere proved profitable investments, paying large
dividends to the stoc ckholders besides improving
the value of property near them, and greatly in
croaslng the trade in the places through which
| they pass.

THx RUSSIAN ARMy.-Thc 1riestsr Zieiung has
n correspondent at st. Petersburg who furnishes
some interesting statements as to the strength OF
the Russian military forces, which the New York
Tribune translates, as follows
"The actual strength OF the entire Russian army
is known TO no one, not even to the government,
because the numbers in the isis always greater
than the corresponding numbers of the troops. IT.,
then, we make a statement on the subject, il s with
tho understanding that it ia what ought 10 be, and
that what is must be a great deal lees. The num-
Der of the foot (guard corps grensdier corps, SIX
infantry corps, special Caucasian corps, recruits,
Cossack infantry on the Black cen, Greek batta-
ion) is Gao. .3s4 men The regular pctve cavalry
(guards, grenadicrs, six infantry corps, reserve
cavalry, Csucasian corps) is l0l .692 men The ar
tllery in activity counts al ,902 men Adding the
engineers, (pontonners, pioneers, workmen SC }
and the staff, &c, the entire active army will
amount 10 $4,000. calculation made before the
campaign in Hungary is said TO have shown that
there we're on paper $50 900 men of all arms who
could be employed to cross the European frontiers.
This number was diminished by ten per cent. when
tho march actually begun On the other hand, by
calling out the reserves and the at all the de.
pots, there are $40 900 men additional on paper.
After all, il may be assumed as certain that, for n
European war beyond the western frontiers be
tween the Baltic and the Danubian principnities,
Russin has not than 300, 900 men, andbf these
