4 FEW FACTS ABOUT BEES IN OREGoN.-
There is no doubt that Bees do well in Ore
gon. The long seasons, and warm winters,
seem to agree very well with them-the
rains, even the sudden showers, seldom OF
never take them by surprise. As they
have, nearly the year round, flowers to Gull
from, they have no need of working in bad
weather, for they always manage to lay up
something for a rainy day. Hardly two
months in the year, here, nro these busy
and pleasant associates of our homes in
other clmes, excluded from Aora's store
house; if nothing else offers, the little
chickweed comes to the rescue-thus Ore
goD promises better for bees than the
States; and, indeed, last summer, they did
very well. Il have reference to those of
Meek & Eddy, who have now ten stands,
all in good order; even the last, and very
late swarm, but handful, has plenty; one
hive, last summer, Nswarmed four times. y
Twice, we had our acquaintance renewed
with that sweetest Of oil morsels, honey, to
our full satisfaction; and, on the last Pacific,
we shipped very fine cap Of virgin honey
just as the bees made it, to California, on a
trial trip; and, as the forerunner Of, can we
not hope-a new article of profitable ex-
port?-Pdeifc Christian AdrOcate.
THE New STATE OF OREGON. .-Remarking
the probability that, before another year
shall have elapsed, the Congressional dele
CATION from the Pacific coast will probably
have been increased by two United States
Senators and one Representative by the
admission of Oregon, the Alta Californian
says:
In mineral wealth the southern portion
of Oregon will one day rank equal to the
rich northern districts Of California. The
same geological formation is traced through
thB portion of the Territory, aud wherever
a systematic plan of gold mining has been
followed, it has proved quite as successful
as has the same pursuit in almost any por-
ton Of California. Bands Of hostile Indi-
ans, and the rugged nature Of the country,
have greatly retarded the development Of
its wealth in precious metals, but time will
rapidly overcome both these obstacles In
agricultural wealth it is the equal Of any
State in the Union, with the exception,
perhaps, Of California, the climate and soil
Of which are better adapted to the produc-
tion of some things for which Oregon il
unified by her higher northern position
Her other resources are many and varied
in their nature, giving her front rank in
the list Of States, SO far as natural wealth
is concerned.

Union, thus speaks Of the action Of the
people of Oregon, in forming State gov
ernment, aud cites tho case as good ex.
ample,":
The peaceable and quiet manner in
which the Territory Of Oregon originated
the necessary steps to prepare herself for
admission into the Union as a State is on
example worthy Of universal admiration
Every act to effect that end was her own
An exchange forcibly remarks that 'ths
late election 10 Oregon has resulted as the
people there desired, in regard to their
State constitution and the slavery question
What that result in Oregon is, is no States
business but its. own. They have decided
to have no slavey. This they had a right
to do. They have decided to have no free
negroes among them This. too, they had
right to do. They would have had the
same right, had a majority 50 decided, 10
have free negroes amongthem; and they
had the same right, too, If they had SO de
sired, to have slavery in Oregon. The mat
ter has been oil settled peaceable aud quiet
y among themselves"
