OREGON.

We have quite a number of subscribers
in the States, and we know, from expert
ence, that they eagerly read anything
relative to Oregon. Tits for them, there
fore, rather than for our Oregon readers,
we state a few facts relative to Oregon,
1t rarely over thunders in Oregon, and
of course it is very seldom that We see
lightning. Casualties from this are
here almost totally unknown. We'have
yet to sec the first house herewith,a light
ming rod.
Hurricanes a%re,unknown M Oregon
We sometimes thave high winds but
never anything that rises to The dignity
and importance of a,hurricane. Houses,
built on the balloon principle, are the
fashion here; morticed and strongly.
framed ones are the exception. Yet it is
very rare that one is blown down. In.
deed, We do not now reeollect ever hav-
ing seen or heard of a single instance of
this kind.
Although we are in latitude forty-fvc
same as that of St. Paul-the two
winters We he spent here were very
mild. 'ItsS%an freezes in the William.
elite Valley, and when it does turuecold it

three days. 'ButsweIhave rain during the
winter months, more or less constantly
Much Of the time it is simply amist, and
nothing more. Sometimes, however, it
comes down with a'peffectruah, raising
all our mountain streams to OVERLOOKING.
As a'naturaicousequence where there is
so'mueh rain there must be some mud {;
and it IS sometimes disagreeable getting
about here in the winter. But the far

are tougher than whitieather and they
effect locomotion with them wiihonsmuch

to the innocent diversion of "bucking -
but that doesn't amount to much when
one becomes used to it.
The summers of Oregon cannot be ex-
celled. When we have clear weather VIC
think It is the most beautiful enjoyed by
any pecph@not ever excepting the Ttal-
ians. 1t is then, to'usc the expression Of
an old 0regonian, that one feeh alike

The land in the Willamette Valley, for
fertility and beauty, cann6t be cxcelIed
by any similar quantity Of land on the
globe. And We can say Of it%hate dhnoi

it neper fails to produce a fair crop
Crops, in portions OF California, three
years ago, were cut of by the drouth
but not so with Oregon. It never fail,
to reward the husbandulan. Besides al
this, such a thing as the rust in wheat il

enemy of the cereals.
As for timber, We suppose no country
on the habitabie globe can produce larger
and better than Oregon. 1t is no uncom

No MORE PARDONs.-The Mountain
Messenger ssys ssthe President has no
longer the power to pardon rebels" To
which the Sierra Advocate replies in
good style: The second section of the
second article of the constitution of the
United States provides that the President
sshal have power 10 grant reprieves and
pardons for ofenses against the United
States, except in cases % ippeachment. .
Has this provision of the constitution

Beast Butler, III the House Of Congress,
opposed the resolution which had passed
the Senate, ap~propriating one million Of
dollars to the starving people Of The South.
OF course the Beast tzonld oppose such
4 proposition. Who expects charity To
inhabit such a hearty 4 man who Is ca
pable Of insulting helpless women. de-
nouncing a whole community of ladies ny
women Of the toTa," can not be expected
to know what charity means. A man who
could turn people out of their houses into
the street, gobbie up their silver ware,
appropriate their beds and bedding. their
table linen and their furniture, because
they did not think as he did who would
avail himself Of military force to do things
which shame the very name Of man, such
a man could not be expected 10 feel or
know aught Of that charity which com
mands US To love our enemies, TO do good
those who sdcspitefully use US. Besides,
there is principle in human nature which
leads a man TO hate those most whom he
has most Injured. This is the reason why
Butler delights TO see the people of the
South starye to death, the reason why,
while they are starving, he would not
reach out his hand to give dhe of them a
crninb of bread. Bhtler'is a bad man, .

A CARD.-In 1861 Morton discontinued the
discount formerly given to the Jobbing Trade,
and ignoring the services Of middle men, has
sold his pens either directly to those who use
them, or to such as keep them on hand for the
better supply of the writing public in their
own localities. There may be Jobbers who
have spoken in favor of the Morton Pen since
that time, but, if 80, their remarks have never
in q single instance reached his ear; and
although they generally admit that Morton
can make the best pens in the world, and used
to do 80, they nevertheless put forth great
exertions to show that the Morton Pen has de-
preciated in value, is not what it formerly was
and that those which they vend are equal, if not
superior; now since many Retail Dealers obtain
what little they know of pens as well as the pens
themselves, entirely from the Jobbers, people are
apt to be misled by their representations.
In order that the public may judge correctly,
and at the same time see how much pains
taking is exercised to give every one who orders.
just such pen as will exactly suit his hand,
Morton confidently refers to the many thousands.
throughout tho entire country, who have re-
ceived his pens through the mails during that
time, and also calls particular attention to the
following letter which has accompanied every
