OHEGoY-We extract the following from a
long and interesting letter of Hon. G. IL
Williams. Chief Justice of the Territory We
take from the supplement- 10 the Keokuk Dis
patch:
Oregon City contains, should think, from
300 to 400 people, and is considered the health
lest place in the Territory. There are occa-
sionally openings in the timber in this neigh
borbood, but the prairie Dies not begin for 10 or
l5 miles up the river. The praires are small,
with strips of timber running through them
This diversity makes the country very beauii-
full. On either side may be seen mountains
The Cascade Range on the East, and the Coast
Range on the West-lhe river mig from
South TO North suppose This prairie country
or the Willamette valley. is from $50 10 200
miles long, and fr' m so to IS miles wide. A
very large portion Of it rs already taken by set
tiers, and some of it is in good state of cult
walton. Some of the hills are without timber,
and good for grazing. The country is well
watered by cool spring brooks, and the water in
wells is good. The improvements here are Of
much better quality than they are in Iowa =
The fasa, houses are generally frame-the fen
ces exctilnt, on account Of the abundance OF
good timber. The cattle are larger, and look
finer than they do any where in the East
They are easily kept, not requiring any fodder
in the winter, as general rule though last
winter many died for want Of subsistence-the
weather having been unusually severe, and I'M
,oked for. There are horses here Of every
description, American, of the finest kind Span
ish, Indian, and mixed breeds. A good Ameri-
can horse is worth $500: Spanish, 800, lndi-
an, $50 to $75. Hogs are abundant, and ditto
of chickens-but few sheep, and no geese
Wheat produces finely. | have never seen
better fields. Oats, potatoes, and vegetables OF
every kind grow uncommonly well. Corn does
not succeed. The weather is, | think, too cool
and too dry for it, The soil Goes not resemble
that OF Iowa, but is very much in appearance,
and in nature, should judge, like that of por-
tons of New York. 1t is of lightish color,
hard, and in some places gravelly. After rain
it bakes and cracks, as J have seen the ground
in the eastern States The farmers here are
generally independent, and some of them quite
rich. They take possession Of their claims,
and 60 to work. Every thing they raise brings
enormous high prices. Wheat ranges from six
dollars to two, per bushel: oats from one to
three dollars; potatoes from one to two and a
half dollars per bushei; cows from SO to 100
dollars; hogs at all prices, up 10 100 dollars a
head; butter from 40 cents to dollar, per ID, :,
and every thing else in proportion. Labor is
high. A good hand on farm gets from 40 to
SO dollars per. month. Upon the whole. |
think it is the best country for farming that
have ever benin.

AUTUMN.
BY W. G. CLARK.

Sweet Sabbath of the year
When evening lights decay,
Thy parting steps msthinks hear
Steal from the world away.
Amid thy silent bowers,
IT'S sad but sweet to dwell,
Where fal ing leaves and dropping flowers
Around me breathe farewell.
Along the sunset skies,
Their gIortes melt in shade
And like the things we fondly prize,
Seem lovelier as they fade.
A deep and crimson streak
The dying leaves disclose
As on consumption's waning cheek,
Mid ruin blooms the rose.
The scene each vision brings
OF beauty in decay!
Of fair and early faded things,
Too exquisite to stay.
OF joys that come no more,
Of flowers whose bloom has fled;
OF farcwells wept upon the shore,
Ut friends, estranged or dead.
Ut all that now may seem,
To memory's !esrfal eye;
The vanished beauty Of dream
Ger which We gaze and sigh.
