the amour, 50 rails d, could not possibly b.
applied to purpose which will more eff Ct
ually sub5crye the BEST interests Of this
country.
Much, however, will depend upon the
character and qualifications of the delegate.
Too much care and caution cannot be used
in the selection. The choice should b,
made without the slightest reference to Po-
litical opinions He should be a man well
acquainted with the country, its character
and resources, from actual aud personal Oh
servatlon. There are great many interests
connected with this country which should
be placed in a proper light before the gene
raj government. 1t is indispensably neces-
Sary that our delegate should possess this
information from actual and personal obser-
vation, and withal, he should be a man OF
ability, with knowledge Of the world and
of men, sufficient TO enable him to cope
with the sharp ones at Washington, and
perform every duty which the interests Of
our new and growing country may demand,
with crodit to himself and his constituents.
Let him, moreover, be a man Of integrity,
Of temperate habits, and one whose charac-
ter for punctuality, truth and reliability is
such as to inspire universal confidence among
the people.
Northern Oregon is new, and compare
lively unknown country, but has, Of late,
excited no small interest at the national Cap
itol, and among the older States of this con-
federacy. With such delegate, elected by
the people, and sent from such a quarter,
how much may be done towards Fastening
the growth of the embryo commercial Slate!
We you'd again urge upon the citizens Of
Northern Oregon, the importance of attend
ing 10 this matter in due season. Let not a
single town, precinct or settlement north Of
the Columbia river be unrepreSentcd in the

to Oregon TO become entitled to grants of
land, and granting widows there the land
which their husbands would have received, !"
was taken up in the Senate on the 4th of
February, amended and passed. We have
not yet seen any publication of the Act
above referred to, and are, of course, unao-

Business On The SOund.--The constant
stream of immigrants which has been Aow-
ing into this country for the last few months,
has made desirable and evident change in
the business features of the Sound. There
are now no less than fourteen saw-mills 10
run BY water power, and one steam saw
mill, in process of construction on Puget
Sound. Besides these, there arc several
others in contemplation. A large number
of our citizens are engaged in the business
of getting out cargoeS Of hewed timber, piles
shingles and cord wood. Vessrls arc not
now compelled to remain in the Sound
awaiting a cargo. Hcwed timber is now
got out great deal faster on the Sound than
the number Of vessels engaged in that busi
ness can carry it 10 market.

The mountain sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1844-1853, 1853-02-17
Horrible Tragedy in Mississippi.

The Paulding Miss Clarion relates the fol-
lowing shocking affair:
On Thursday last James Clark, n well known
citizen of the county of Clark, made an a sault
upon his negro woman, for cause which We
have not heard stated. He then ordered her in
to a corner of the room. and commenced pitch
ing his knife at her, point formost. AS the
knife would enter her flesh, he would compel his
victim to draw it forth and return it TO him -
This demoncal amusement was continued until
the slave was covered with about fifty bleeding
gashes, The same day he whipped his wife,
cut her all over the head with his knife, not
dangerously. we understand, but in a mass of
cruel and painful puneture. He also cut OF her
eve lids
This strange drama wound up on Friday last
by the commission of murder. Clark, on that
day. ordered his wife TO go and call Lewis. a
negro belonging to the family. She obeyed-
bat the slave refused TO come. through dread
of his enraced master, suppose Mrs. Clark
returned, an was whipped by her husband for
not bringing the negro Five times was she
sent upon this capricious mission, five times was
il fruitless and each time she was whipped for
her failure Clark then called to the slave, in
forming him that he would shoot him next NOR
ming The negro. 1t seems, did not heed the
warming for while splittinp rails the next NOR
ming. he was deliberately shot by his master
The wound was fatal the negro ran about three
Hundred wards, and fell in mortal agony. Clark
who is supposed to be insane, has been commit
ted to answer for murder.
