Early NEw-YEARs morning Z" our Ia
bic " was visited by large and resPecta,'
bic looking basket, and on removing a neat
white napkin fiom the top, a general as
sortmenl Of PIES, roUND-CAKE and "chick-
en-fxins " severally presented themselves
on excavation. Whilst our thanks arc cor
daily extended 10 the FAIR doners Tor the
magnificent NEw,YEAR's compliment, we
would observe that the LADIES of Oregon
can put through more hard work-do il up
in better style, and make less fuss about
it, than those of any other country in the
world Their influence and benevolent ef-
forts, too, in behalf Of education--the es-
lablishment Of churches, &c, has been felt
most benefcially in Oregon.
That "jonney-eake " of MessIs WEED &

well got up and excellent. We trust they

Gem. PIerce's EuIOgy upOn Mr. Webstsr

~ spontaneous meeting Of the citizens of
Concord, N. H., took place Immediately af-
ter the reception of the sad tidings of Mr..
Webster's death. Gen. Pierce, now Presi-
dent elect, was called upon 10 address the
assemblage-he complied, and with deep
emotion, which at times almost overcamc
him, and in a calm and impressive manner,
suited 10 the occasion, delivered an eloquent
eulogium upon the great dead, concluding in
the following striking and touching lam
guage: ,. '...t ........d .-.-t1 ,.i
" To speak Of Mr.. Websier's genius, his
various and solid atiainments, bis services,
would be to discourse of matters as familiar,
even to the children Of his native State, as
household words. Besides, this must be
left 10 vigorous pens a1d eloquent tongues,
after the first gush of grief, and tue oppress-
i've sense of loss, shall TO some extent have
passed away. Il is, and has long been my
firm conviction that Mr.. Webster had hold
upon the minds and hearts of his country
men which will fail to be justly estimated
only because there has been no full oppor-
tunity to measure it. You, Mr.. Chairman,
have truly said that Mr.. Webster's great
ness was of that rare character which no
earthly position could exalt. He came to
official station as he approached all subjects
presented 10 bis mind, their superior and
their master. He has reared for himself a
vast pillar Of renown, which win stand in
undiminished strength and grandeur when
the works Of mans hands erected TO his hon
OF will be like Ninevah; and, fear, when
this Union may have shared the fate which
was the dread of his later years. A few
years ago, when the distinguished brother
of the deceased was called, in an instant,
from time 10 eternity, in the courtroom in
this place, with the last words of perfect
sentence lingering on his lips, another citi-
zen, most eminent and beloved, (the late la
mented George Sullivan), exclaimed:
"What shadows We are, what shadows we
pursue ''
How these emphatic words come back 10
US here, as if by an echol How mere earth
ly honoTs and distinctions fade amid gloom
like this-how political asperities are chas-
iened-whata lesson to The living-whal an
admonilioR to personal maleyolence - how

nation throbs heavily at the portals of his

contemplate The extent of the loss we have

On the supposiIion that its adaptation for
the manufacture of steam may be success,
fully and favorably demonstrated, and the
supposed extent prove equal to present pub

commerce open up in northern Oregon;
We are informed by agendeman who has

formation on the sui ject, that the amount Of
coal at present consumed on the Pacific
coast, cannot fall short Of THIRTEEN THOU.
SAND TONS PER MONTH, or A HUNDRED
AND FIFTY-SIX THOUSAND TONS
PER ANNUM. This amount would soon
be augmented by the demand Of an increase
in the number Of ocean steamers; by the
demand which would soon be made. mani.

from the CALIFORNIA;, Mexico, and the South
American states; it would soon employ a

When to this ONE important article of
export is added the valuable timber and
lumber, which at present constitutes our
principal article of trade--our fisheries
made to yield their abundance under the
sagacious management of the thrifty deni-
zens of New England-our tens of thou

G- We understand that captain WEB
sTER, of the schooner "Mury Taylor;," will
sail in short time from Port Townsend for
San Francisco, with full cargo of salmon,
oil, oysters, cranberries, &c. We under
stand that it is the intention of captain W,
TO return with steam pile-drivcr, andne-
cessary machinery for the furtherance ol
important operations at the fine CONNER
cial town-site, and future commercial city
of the Sound-Port Townsend. May pros

No Mail YET.-It is scarcely necessa-
ry to announce the fact that the mail from
the Columbia river for FOUR WEEKS is still
due at this pOst-ofice, and it is feared that
lis increasing indeJteaness has become so
heary as to prevent its ever getting along
to make a settlement. Tho mail from Fort
SteilacOom, carried at The expense of the
officers and soldiers of that post, continues
to arrive and depart regularly, over as bad
a road as any between this place and the
Cowlitz landing Such is the difference
between private enterprise and Uncle Sam
contracts.

Revival AND INCREASE OF BUSINESS =
The bark Sarah Waren," captain A.
B. Cove, brought 10 this place on New
Years Day, upwards Of fifteen thousand
dollars worth Of mechanically far the
largest quantity ever before landed at this
Placo--and the entire amount of several
heavy articles have already passed into the
hands Of purchasers without materially sat-
isfying the demand demonstrating that a
great deficiency will exist before the arrival
Of another cargo-and that in many re-
sPeets, the present supply is wholly inade-
quaie to answer the requirements of the
market. Our merchants, mechanics, far
mers, &c., can enter upon the prosecution
Of their various pursuits for the new year,
with high hopes of rapid increase of bu-
siness in all departments of induslry-wiih
full assurance Of an adequate pecuniary re-
ward. Our mills, that for time have been
suspended in their operations by the recent
heavy snow, and present consequent high
water, will soon be under way again, and
add 10 the hum Of industry around US.

AMERICANS ARRESTED IN CUBA.-rIt is
siad that the passengers who lefl New
York in the Crescent City for Havana, and
who, not being permitted to land, were
eventually carried from New Orleans to
their destined port by The Black Warrior,
had been arrested and examined with re-
gerd to the proceedings on board the Cres-
cent City. They were subsequently, re-
leased. But some Of the passengers who
went out from New Orleans in the bark
Millaudon did not fare so well They were
thrown into prison for having copies of tbe
Picayune in their pockets, as was also a
prominent citizen Of Havana, in whose pos
session number of the, Delta newspaper
was found.

B6S- We understood the structures Of our
correspondent "ANoNyMous," Vancouver's
Island, to apply solely to the grievances of
the free settlers of that Island, arising from
Ihe colonial and ezciusire authority exercis-
ed over them by the Chief Factor of the
Hudson Bay Company there, and without
in any manner duplicating, prejpdicialIy,
that company's agents elseWherc, We pre-
sumo this is the general understanding, and
should be very sorry if any portion of the
communication referred to, should, in any
manner, be tortured into a reflection upon
DR., w, F. ToLME, Chief Factor at Fort
Nisqually, whose reputation as a gentleman,
and man of honor, integrity and humani-
ty we believe is above censure and beyond
reProach' We hope this explanation, so far
as tec are concerned, viii be satisfactory to
all parties. If The free settlers on Vancou-
ver's Island are agrieved at the manner in
which they are governed, we conceive they
have a right TO make it known, and demand
redress from the proper home authority.

The WEArHER.-In order that persons
at distance may be "posted up " as to the
character of the weather since the recent
heavy snow, We would observe, that the al
most constant mild, warm rams of the last
two weeks, have completely annihilated the
snow on the various prairies, and it is fast
disappearing from the woodland. The grass
on the prairies has been materially benefit
ted by the snow and rains, and all kinds Of
stock are doing remarkably well. We have
heard of but a Iriaing loss of stock thus far,
and that, we are sorry to say, has been con-
6ned to immigrant cattle.
