ADMISSION nF OREGON.

The bill for the admission Of Oregon into the
Union has been passed by both branches OF Con
gress, and our flag is now adorned with thirty
three stars. The Black Republican members
strenuously opposed the admission of the new
State, and serious fears were entertained a few
weeks ago that their efforts would be successful.
But the Democracy, with a few exceptions, stood
firm and secured the success of the measure:-
The Democracy have decided majority in the
new State, and it will be all right in 1850. All
true patriots will rejoice at the addition Of new
State to the Cunfcdcracy.

An American Vessel Destroyed by British
GtooYo

The Navy Departments is IN receipt of advI
ces from Commander Totten, of the African
squadron, announcing the search, seizure aud
burning of the brig Rufus Soule, Capt An
derson, by the steamer Viper of the British
squadron on the same station One of the
r. SIS seamen testified that it was by some
of the crew of the Viper that she was burned
because they had no men to send away III
her, and that they had orders to burn one
out of every three vessels taken The sea-
men were landed on the beach at ka5eneia.
Com lotion had demanded an explanation
of the sscamander Of tho Viper, who respon
ded to three questions put by Com. lotion
;.s-follows: s-7=777z7---s'1
1st Had the Vessel the American flag
flying at the time she was yisitsds-by the
boat? Answer She had the American flag
flying from Information from the British gov
ernment dated the Sth and I'D of July last,
there was every just cause to believe that ~
this case fraudulent use ofthe flag was being
made, and that the vessel was engaged in the
slaye-trade Consequently, she was visited
Ind If her papers were correct! An
swer, In my opinion they were incorrect,
some of them undoubtedly SO.
Sd. If the American hag was still flying
when the vessels matches were opened? An
swer.r The American flag was not flying
when the vessels matches were opened. The
flag aud the papers were thrown into the sea
b the captain, without even suggestion on
my part. " ar 1r-
Com. lotion replied that twas unsatisfaC-
| tory, and as it made no mentIon of the cir
eumstancos of the burning OF the brig without
legal investigation. Com. Hodkiuton rejoined
by referring the American officer to the Bri-
tish Admiral, and this closes the report OF

Purchase of Mount Vernon.

The onward progress of the Mount Yer
non Ladies' Association is truly gratifying,
and when yesterday we published most
interesting letter from Washington cor
respondent, who has lately visited Mount
Vernon, we hardly expected so soon TO re-
cord another payment to Mr.. Washington
of ten thousand dollars upon the purchase
money, which was made him few days
since by Mr.. Riggs, the Treasurer, per
order of the Regent, Miss A p Cunning
ham.
We cannot refrain from repeating what
has often been stated in the columns of the
Press, how largely our country is indebted
to this lady-thc originator and head of
this patriotic movcmcnt-for the consum-
mate ability she has shown in the details
of the management of this enterprise, and
to Mr. Everett for his generous co-opera-
ton, which have crowned it with complete
success.
Among hcpowcrs and influences brought
to aid the work of the Association, we must,
by no means, overlook the Mount Vernon
Record, several numbers of which, of Sc
cond volume are now before us, which We
must apologize for not having previously
noticed, containing, as they do, so much
valuable and useful information. Too
much may not be said in favor of the we'll
conceived plan, and scrvicablo mission of
this little sheet The publication of State
Vice Regents appeals, Committee and La
dy Managers reports, and various other
matters connected with the enterprise, be-
sides its complete lists of the names of
subscribers to the fund from every State
and county in the Union, wherever the or
ganization has extended its influence, the
Record has spread abroad better knowl.
edge of the workings of the Association
than could have been accomplished in any
other way, and we venture to asscrt-what
the Association seems well to have under
stood that the Mount Vernon estate has
been gained twelvc-month earlier by the
telling influence of its well edited organ.
by reference to the first number, July
1853, we find the Southern Matron, then
so called, appearing for the first time as
Regent, hopefully an ! earnestly urging her
plans-seemingly secure Of that success
which has SO inevitably followed aying
the support of a few other noble spirits,
mostly of the South, viz Mrs. Eve, of
Georgia; Mrs. Dickinson, of North Caro-
lima; Mrs. lie Vert, of Alabama; Mrs.
Melville, of Mississippi, and Mrs. Fogg,
of Tennessee; all acting in concert and
with energy for Mount Vernon. The first
payment then made to Mr.. Washington
was $4,000, and after lapse of little
over fifteen months he has been put in pos
session of more than $lS0,000, and the
Association is still spreading its influence
at every point of}the compass. During
this interregnum, North, East, South and
West have come in nobly to the work, and
there now remains but two States unrcpre-
scntcd in the lists Maryland, and, we
think, Texas. This surely is progressing
to some purpose. The purchase money for
the Washington estate, the last bond for
which not really due until 1862, now near
ly all is Phjtne1clphia Press.
