Oregon Letter.
GREESvILLE, OREGON, Sept, 80.

GREESvILLE,. ORrGoS, Sept..3
Editor Herald:
will try to comply with my promise
to give you Through the HERALD) and
my friends few items about Oregon.
In the first place the land is very rich
and productive, and combined with the
cool temperature Of the atmosphere, the
growth of vegetation is much slower than
in Kentucky, hence the superiority of
Oregon wheat and oats. We scarcely
ever see shriveled gram or scab in the
grain Of this country. The crop of this
State this season is truly enormous,
amounting to millions on millions Of
bushels, and takes quite feet of ships
to carry it to market According""to the
papers, there has already loaded at Port
land eight or ten ships Of over one thou,
sand tons burden, and the crop has only
begun TO leave the farmers hands, there
being a large per cent not y., cut and
threshed.
There are q great many emigrants
coming here. Some are dissatisfied ct
first, principally those who come with
what barely suffices to bring them here.
To them times look rather gloomy, there
being too great a proportion of such,
the labor market being oyerstock.d .x,
cept in harvest, John Chinaman cutting
q big figure in the constant employments
which is nearly monopoliEed by him.
There are two kinds of emigrants Or
egon wants, and who can do we'll here.
One is the man who has money to buy
and improve q farm and stock it, and IL
be has any get up about him he can 90
right along making money. The other
are those who can go East Of the noun.
tains and take up public land and rough
it until society comes 10 him by the
country being settled and communication
opened to that part Of it. Land in this

to $50 according to quality and location,
and is stlll higher up the Willamette

PETS PUNIsiIaENT.

Obi il my love offended me,
And We had worlds together,
To show her l would master be,
I'd whip her with feather.
Ifthen she, like a naughty girl,
Would tyranny declare it,
I'd give my pet a cross OF pearl,
And make her always wear 1t.
If still che tried TO sulk asd sigh,
Aud throw away my posies,
I'd catch my darling on the ely,
And smother her with roscs.
Apd il she dared her lips TO pout,
Like many pert young misses,
ia wind my arm Der waist aeoue
And punish her with kisses.

The AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY is an
epitome of newspaper history. 1t is also re-
garded as an official register of cIrculations.
This feature requires the closest scrutiny to
prevent it from leading to abuses. The plan
adopted by the publishers of the DIRECTORY to
secure correct and trustworthy reports is rigid
in its requirements, and is adhered to with
impartiality. Successful publishers, who have
something to gain by comparison, are gener-
ally prompt, not only to send reports in con-
formity, but give Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell & Co.
such information as enables them to weed out
unsubstantated statements of pretenders in
journalism. The popularity OF the book, and
the general confidence in its accuracy and good
faith, are attested by the immense body of ad-
vertisements it receives. 426

stop to read the bulky volume. Ask any drug

real blessing TO all affected with throat or lung
diseases. All kindred affections, including
Bronchitis, Sore Throat, Group, Hoarseness,

A sense of Meariness

Is often felt by persons who cannot locate any
particular disease. Ii they WORK, it becomes
labor; if they walk, they soon tire; mental ef-
forts become a burden, and even joys are
dimmed by the shadow of this weakness which
is cast over their lives. Recourse is had some.
times to stimulants Of dangerous character
The advice OF physicians to refrain from active
labor produces no happy results. Why? The
system is debilitated and needs to be built up
properly. PERUVIAN SYRUP will do this very
thing. Like the electric current, it permeates
the entire system, and harmonizing with the
corporeal functions, it raises up the enfeebled
and brings the color to the cheek again, and
hope to the respondent 1t does its work
promptly and well. Sold by all druggists.

A CORRECTION.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
writing from Madison in this state, says:
"'This was Marshall's office said Captain
'Vanarsdol, and in that back room he re-
'ceived the celebrated challenge of Jesse ID.
Bright" Captain Vanarstal was but a
child when the difficulty occurred between
Messrs. Marshall and Bright, and conse-
quently can know nothing of it except as he
has been told. His statement to the Gazette
correspondent is erroneous and we deem the
matter of sufficient importance to give cor
rect account of it.
The difficulty between Messrs. Marshall
and Bright, which came near resulting in a
duel between them, had its origin in a
speech made by Judge Marshall at Ritchie's
Mills, in Jefferson county, in which he as
serted that Mr.. Bright had made certain
statement to him which the latter, being
present, denied. Mr.. Marshall reiterated the
statement and Mr.. Bright pronounced it
false Both betrayed anger ir the contro-
versy, and those who were pref snt felt quite
confident TIN something serious would grow
out of it. The next day Mr.. Bright wrote
Mr. Marshall a very severe letter, in which
he declared that the latter's statement the
day before was wicked and malicious false
hood. This letter was placed in the hands
of Jonathan Fitch, Esq, who delivered it to
Mr.. Marshall at the latter's residence on the
hill north of the city. On reading the letter,
Mr.. Marshall was satisfied that the writer
object in sending it was to provoke a chal-
lenge. which was undoubtedly the case.
Without replying to it, he came down to the
city, bought bowie knife, ard walked
backward and forward between the Madison
post Office and the Madison insurance Office,
with the intention of attacking Mr.. Bright
when he came for his mail. Fortunately,
the latter did not appear, and after waiting
for him nearly an hour, Mr.. Marshall
changed his purpose, and seeking General
William Mckee Dunn, prepared and sent
Mr.. Bright challenge to Sight duel at
some point In the vicinity OF Louisville.
Both Mr.. Marshall and Mr.. Bright, with
their friends, went to Louisville but, fortu-
nately for themselves and fortunately for
the state which was honored by their citi-
zenship, friends interfered and the difficulty
between them was settled. This, in brief, is
a correct account of the personal difficulty
between these two distinguished men.
