THE COMMERCIAL AGE.
LECTURE BY THE HON. NATHANIEL P.
BANKS

The first lecture Of the announced to be gwen

lecture with profound attention. The theme OF the
drcoure was "The Commercial Age" which the
lecturer regarded being ushered into existence.
There was profit well as pleasure, in the con-
mpation of the stages Of national existence so resu

events. In tie youth of a state Lord Bacon had said,

A CRY FOR COUNTY COOKING.

To the Edito, Of The ~ Y. Tribune
SIR: cannot imagine what useful end you expect 70
attain by csrcaturiDg your country subsciibers That
y,u did cariea AZURE them and most exrayagsly too,
in your article yesterday on the manner Of living,
cooti-: &C.; Of country people, including of course
your subscriber, thDs 20 one can justly deny; n
fact Go not believe you find five decent persons
in Il ousond eiher in OF out of the city, who will not
CONCUR in this opinion.
"As a general rule" you say, Sin the country
"tLtre lie rothhg fit TO eat ." the coffee Is snnpiy
slops;" "the tea bad and unfit to drink" On the
"broakfait table is a chaos Of crude dishes" ''the
"bread is too often iodden, and the butter too much
"rke taow Where do the city people get their but
ter y; there is mess Of tough meat, Creased and
cooked to the conssteDce Of sole leather" but "s
tbs is the effect Of ignorance" "cookng in the coun-
"uy is simply savage the wives and daughters OF
farmers who supennts nd engage in cooking for
tie family are "femiI inc Yahoos," in number "say
about eco, GEO." &C. This Is complimentary to those
in the country whose hospitality you have shared, and
singulary pleasant method Of giving good advice,
and the Yahoos do not profit by IT, you will have 10
give them over inconigibe.
Now, Sir, have lived in both city and country, and
speak from experience, and my opinion is that both
poor end rich as general rule, live vastly better
far az eating and drinking concerned in the country
than in the city. That many erroneous notions prevail,
end that mistakes committed by many country peo
PIE and that the useful art Of cookery Is susceptible
Of great Improvement in the country is not to be de-

NEWS FROM OREGON.
INDIAN HOSTILITIEs.

The present aspect of Indian hostilities in
Northern and Southern Oregon, and Wash
ington Territory, says the Oregon Times, looks
anything but tlattering There is a gloomy
aspect pervading the future fortunes of the
whites The hostile hordes in the Wala-
Walla vicinity are bidding US defiance yet it
is hoped that Col. Cornelius will be able with
his 900 volunteers, to rout this combination
Though bloody contest is looked for, and
the numbers unequal, We have strong hopes
that the brave volunteers may be as successful
as in the four days fight in December The
Willamette Valley is about the only portion
of Oregon at present apparently safe from the
Indian Murderers /; and this portion of Oregon
has furnished hundreds of her best men, and
generously advanced its means and credit for
the vigorous prosecution of the war, and the
defence of the frontier settlements.
STEAMER wAsco FIRED INTO By TIE INDIANS
The steamer Wasco, says the Oresonian,
while ascending the Columbia river, between
the Cascades and the Dalles was fred into on
Wednesday last by the Indians, who were
collected in large numbers on the north side
of the river, opposite the mouth of Dog Cor
Hood) river. Their balls, however did no
damage. Major Haller of the United States
army, with a small force of regulars, came
immediately down from the Dalles, to prevent
the Indians from crossing to the Oregon side.
CONDITION OF THE SETTLERS AT OLYMPIA.
An express came from Vancouver, says the
Oregonian, on Monday evening list, for aid
The Indians were approaching the heart Of
the settlements They Ind driven the settlers
from their homes to take refuge at Olympia,
which is baricaded. 1t. Col. Casey, as the
Oregonian learns, called upon Col. Wright, in
command at Vancouver, for more troops, but
he had none to send. A company of volun-
teers left on Wednesday night, on the steamer
Multuomah for the mouth of Cowitz, on their
route to Olympia.
