The Portland Christian Adrocatc, Of
March 18th, contains extracts of letter
received from Hon. DELAzoN SMITH, dated
Feb. 2, from which we extract as follows
An order has been issued for the survey Of the lands
east Of the Cascade mountains. We hope to have the
treaties made with the various tribes nha5iing that
country, rutied before the adjournment Of Congress.
BY July next we will have the mails carried In coach

walla; from Walls-walla to the Dales; from the MIS-
sour river Salt Lake City and thence to the Ddlles
and from Salt Lake City to lipsvbarg riG Jackson

"The letters which am daily receiving from every
part Of tue country, esd to believe that there will
be large emigration u Oregon ard Washington Ter
ritories next summer, both by land and water. The
Government have authorized and will authorize the
establishment Of military posts for their protection.

Another correspondent Of the AdrOeais
whose letter is dated Jan. 3lst, says:
"The steamer R1ssaeiussits has, been transferred
to the department, and will be sent to the Sound
sometime durng the present spring.
"The steamer NOrih CdT73lina, which ran between
Baltimore and Norfolk was burned day before yesier-

MIssING VEssEL-The schooner Blue

Townsend, now nearly two months since,
has not yet been heard from. There were
some six or eight persons aboard, among
whom was E. SCHROEDER, formerly of Stcil-
accom-, and favOrubly kdown to most Of
our citizens on The Sound. 1t is feared
that all have been lost. Any information,
relating to either the vessel or those on
board, will be thankfully received by either

will linger yet little longer The House committee
at one time wanted to report with " broad swahe'
discounts. For instance, they propose to strike out
the pay OF two dollars 4 day for volunteer service and
allow them next to nothing, regular army pay. They
had idea that volunteers ought TO for moth
ing, aud the thought OF allowing two dollars day
was spasmodc in its effect Lane and Stevens, how
ever refused all such propositions, and the delegation
preferred risking the whole pile rather than have the
debt 50 reduced The explanations Of Lane, Smith,
seem thus far to have been well received and hope
they will finally win q favorable report and this as
before remarked, is quite as much as | expect at
this session.

lane, Smith, Grover and Stevens arc very san

with my observation Of the proyerbal uncertainty of
such measures, am n.linded to think the War Debt
OF course, we do not give place to the
foregoing as matter of news, but as a
refutation to the charge that we have
heard Aisinuated by intcreSted-parties, that
Gov. STEVENS had not done all he might
have done to secure prompt payment Of
the war debt If he has left anything un-
done in the premises, or if he has not used
every effort in bis power to procure a
speedy and satisfactory adjustment of it,
that fact will doubtless be made apparent.

The WEATHER AGAIN.-We would not
make resume Of this theme at this time,
connected as the months of February and
March have been with the most unpleasant
miserable associations, were it not to sug-
gcst anew the adage, that misery loves
company" and that we are not entirely
cleft all alone in our glory" to enjoy, up to
the present writing, the unchanged aspect
of the gloomy, lowering sky, the chill un-
friendly blast, with an occasional sprinkling
of drenching storms, whose component parts
might be aunalized, as composed Of water,
Sleet aud snow. Since we last noted the
character of this very :nsrpiieaJis institution
as applied 10 the present season, we have
been able 10 discover but little change for
the better. Stock is dying, in different
parts of the territory in large numbers, and
Iseed time and harvest holds out very
gloomy promise But in these Affections
we are not alone. Our friends in Oregon
are equal, if not greater sufferers, as will
be seen by the following, which we find in
the Portland STANDARD Of the 10th:
| FEARFUL Loss OF Srocx-We hear Of live stock
neal cattle, horses and sheep-dyng of rapidly in al
mGsi every one Of the valley counties. Within the
past month over one hundred COWS have persisted on
Sauvies Island; farmers few miles below town have
lost nearly hundred more. A gentleman from am.
hill informs that in that county the loss OF live
stock Is unprecedently great. One gentleman has
lost $1,000 worth Of sheep, another 80 cows and 2O
horses; Others have sustained heavy losses and the
present inclement weather continues many days more
the amount OF losses from famshed cattle will almost
impoverish several Of our thrifty stock rasers. Al
ready quite number Of them preparing to leave
the State, the majority designing to remove to Cali
fornia.
In further confirmation of large loss Of
stock in the Willamette valley, we append
the following from the Statesman of the
18th inst:
CATTLE DYING.-We are informed that the fatality
amongst cattle throughout this valley Occasioned b
the recent severe weather. is altogether unprecedent
ed. The cold rains, accompanied with snow and see
which have prevailed every day for the last six weeks
are more fatal to stock than the coldest weather. il

said he might go back Of his garden, or
around the beach, but could not cross his

towards the beach, turned after few steps,
threw down his bundle and made for
fight, and said to Fitzhugh if he wanted
any thing out of him, to come on; went
around the house, and soon after heard the
report of pistol; came back and saw
both men have hold of the pistol, aud Il
