A meeting Of our Board Of Cotton Brokers,
held on Saturday, substantially approved the
late action OF the banks Of Memphis, and re-
marks were freely interchanged, but no official
action was taken. Tbe subject OF transporting
cotton to New York elected some remarks,
and a COMMITTEES was appointed TO confer with
Mr., smith. the general freight agent at Louis
vile. The object is to erect a plan by which
cotton, when shipped from this place to New
York, by the way Of a certain line, shall go by
that line snd no Other as the hanging to any
other line otherwise than expressed in the bill
of lading affects the insurance on the cotton.
The question Of procuring a sho w-case for
cotton samples was discussed, and the commit
tee appointed at their last regular meeting
were further instructed to have the sample
case made Immediately, and the samples, by
which cotton is graded in this market, placed
therein, convenient to all who may visit the

FIRMNEss AND Observation-Disclosures
two qualities are continually mistaken for
each other, but they are not at all alike in
reality. Firmness is essential to success.
while obstinacy may plunge its victim
headlong into the abyss Of failure aud de-
feat. Firmness is a persistency Of action,
founded upon clear and conscientious
convictiou as TO the right and wrong Of a
question. The obstinate man, on the con.
trary, will not examine the merits of any.
thing. He jumps at o conclusion, and
sticks to his decision with psrtiuacity. The
great beauty Of all law, human, or divine,
is its. inexorsb!e 6rmness; but we all
know what asi2al is distinguished most
for its fat, stubborn obstiuacy. 1855

The people Of Portland are evidently
very much excited at the prospect Of RI.
val town on the Columbia River, under
the auspices Of the Northern Pacific Rail.
road Company. The O,egonios recognises
the situation and utters the following note
Of alarm: +' ''',
Within six months the cars will run
from the Columbia river toward Puget
Sound. Within = short period they will
run through the Cascades mountains along
the Columbis river, and probably within
I've years the whole trans, continental
Northern Pacific line will be built. Port
land has it in her power to be. the great
city Of the Columbia river valley; for such
. city there will be at the point where
these railways converge aud meet each
other upon the navigable waters Of tho
river system west of the Cascade noun
tains.
But il will not do to rely wholly upon
chance or luck for this future. Cities are
often made or married. according to the
foresight and liberality which they en-.
ploy, or to their want Of these qualities
and their neglect Of opportunities. In the
new order Of things that is henceforth to
prevail around US it is enterprise and
spirit aud energy that will win. Old
things are passing away. The whole order
Of affairs here is to undergo . speedy
change. Vast enterprises like those now
% foot, the introduction Of millions Of
capital into the country, directed and
welded by the energy and sagacity Of men
who know how to use it, must necessarily
produce great changes. This country is
to have great awakening. The slowness
Of past times will soon be totally out of
date. They are not wise who do no not
know these things. Even blind man
here could see the changes that are al
ready taking place around him.
Portland now has a great advantage /;
she must look we'll that she keep it. The
FIRST and most obvious duty of those who
arc interested here is to subscribe the sum
which will make it certain that the west
side road will be built. After that, some.
thing else.
