Later from Oregon.

Our latest advices from Oregon are to
the 26tA of August. The following EN-
braces everything of interest
WEATHER AND CRoPs. The Oregonian

a decided change for the better since our last.
We have had several fine showers of rain which
has cooled the atmosphere.
IMMIGRATION. is said that most of the
over land immigration to Oregon have taken
the new route, and will come into Willamette
valley in the southern part Of the Territory.
CONDITION OF THE TERRITORY In an ar
ticle urging the formation of a state govern
ment the Standard says: Our territory is in
a needy condition. Money is hardly to be OBJ
tanned trade is inactive; manufactures we
have not; our farmers are discouraged, and the
whole people and the whole country are in Il
suffering condition. We are confident the REM
edy is to be had only in the creation of
Oregon into State government, invested with
plenary powers to open wide the doors of wei
come and safety to the capitalist and laborcr.
Until then We despair Of behoIding the intrin-

and experienced miners in search Of gold -
We followed the trail Shat leads to the up
per countrtas far as the large prairie, 80 miles
from this place, in Washington territory, and
prospected in deep gulch or canyon and
found the gold; also in two places in the prai-
rie. We found the canyon II perfect smooth
rock, and the stream in it so apid that gold
could not stay except liz small eddics where the
sand wsSs deposited. In these places VIC found
the fine gold by washing for it. After pros=
pecting few miles further up we found it inn
possible to proceed or account of the high
projections of rock and precipitous mountains.
We prosecuted search and found the color of
gold in several places, but could not stop to
ascertain whether it would pay. Before lie t

Lawyer Condor and other miners, joined us ;
we put them on the track and then returned,
believing that there must be rich diggings in
that country. This evening understand that

found gold sufficient to pay for the labor.
