FRoNT1ERsMAN.-An Oregon paper con-
tains the following description of genuine
old backwoodsman.
A few days ago an immigrant train was
making all sail northward up through our
valley, and the wild looking driver seemed
to labor under great excitement, cracking
his "black snake round the legs of his SPAWN
ed horses, and yelling at every jump they
made. "Halloo!' said we "Hoora!" said
he; "whar's Rooshun America ?" We ex-
planned the object of his inquiries lay about
twelve hundred miles to the northward, and
just as hard to reach as Jordan" besides
being almost uninhabited, except by Indians
and grizzlies. He gave yell that would
have made an Apache ashamed of himself,
and said: "l'm on it. That's the place I'm
hunting for. I've heard the big folks in
Washington have boughten a tract where
thar's nothing but bars and Injuns, and them s
the only neighbors want. l lived in old
Missouri, stranger" he added, "and I'll be
dog goned, stranger, if the dam railroads
hain't cut the country all to pieces and druv
the game all away. I've heard 'em talking
about making one in Oregon, and III just
be burned if want any Oregon in mine

cause this is a very big world, and l feel
certain that God has something for me to do
in it."
"Just so, just SO, said gentleman who
overheard the talk. "Come with me, nv
boy; | am in want of somebody like you"
He was doctor; and the doctor thought
any boy so anxious to find work would be
likely to do it faithfully when he found it; 70
he took the boy into his employment, and
found him all that he had desired.
Yes God has something for everybody
to do in this world. It's very big world.
and there's room enough for all.

ued, publishers may continue to send them until
all charges are paid.

TO their Honors the Mayor and the Administrators
Of the city OF New Orleans:
The petition of the undersigned, residents
Of the Second and Third Districts Of New
Orleans, comprising men OF every trade
and profession, pray respectfully to draw
Your attention to the necessity Of admins
tering to the urgent commercial wants of
their neglected portion OF the city.
Your. petitioners especially urge the i'm
prevement of the port, from Canal street to
the lower limits Of the city, and call atten-
ton to the ruined condition of the wharves.
Your petitioners respectfully, but earn
estly, protest against the removal OF any
pOrIlOu VI Tie SHlpplHS, OF any LduuluS now
located in said districts, to other points, or
to any change Of the present distribution of
the port, which would result to the disad-
vantage of the Second and Third Districts,
and discriminate against their interests.
In regard to the landing Of the Red river
steamboats,, your petitioners call attention,
III the event of change being made, to the
long line of the harbor between the Plea
yl,ne Tier. opposite the French Market, and
the First District Ferry landing. This part
of the port has remained almost unused and
idle for several years. it's wharves being al
lowed to decay, although naturally one of
the best parts Of the port. There, the ship
ping steamboats, and other crafts can be
moored at the very edge of the water
thereby avoiding the expense of extensive
wharves.
More than this, almost the sole use which
has been made Of this eligible part, of the
port has been for the destruction of old
hulks and the repair Of small craft, thereby
turning it into quasi ship-yard.
Central to all parts of the city, conven-
lent alike to the majority of cotton presses
and principal business houses; presenting
unequaled advantages as a landing place,
having deep water, high banks, a solid
leyee, and requiring but small extent OF
wharf for the deposit of freight, accessible
directly to store-houses, warehouses, and
all places of business. This, gentlemen, is
the most eligible location for the Red River
landing
