There are in these States 33,326 square miles, and this population is but 52 to the square mile, while nearly the whole of this country is capable of sustaining 200 to the square mile. This increase is too great for an equal growth of the country, and it is a matter for serious consideration, why the East and its advantages should be in such a great degree forsaken for the west and its disadvantages. Why the desire for the possession of a large amount of land cheaply obtained, and dearly held at cost of labor and pri our newspapers among the fashionable movements of the season. Considering the military impetuosity of his character, we should suggest that a court circular should be specially written to record his acts during his visit to London, in language similar to that in which we have been in the habit of hearing him spoken of. We submit a few specimens: "The impetuous Ibrahim left his lair at Mivart's, at an early hour, and made a descent upon the breakfast-room. He ravaged a plate of ham, and spread desolation among the French-rolls that were placed before him. The energetic heir of Mehemet Ali then planted his yatagan in the bosom of a fowl, and made a desperate attack upon it, exclaiming, in his strong Egyptian accent, Thus will I cut off both wings of the army of my enemy!' Having finished a hearty meal, he rushed into the fastness of a carriage, and scoured the country until he arrived at the Paddington terminus of the Great Western Railway. The haughty Ibrahim was met by Mr. Russell, M.P., and the impetuous Pacha having exchanged a few signs of courtesy precipitated himself upon the ottoman in the saloon carriage. "With his usual rapidity of movement he reached the race-course, and came to a stand in a position commanding a view of all that was passing round him. Wine was offered to the wily Egyptian, who did honor to his old friend, the Porte, by finishing an entire bottle." The above are only a few of the incidents occurring on one of the days of Ibrahim's sojourn in this country. The narration of events should be continued in the same spirit, when a very interesting record of his visit would be furnished to the public written in a style appropriate to the habits ceedings cannot be faithfully chronicled in the and character of the illustrious person, whose promere every-day language of a Court Circular.

IBRAHIM IN TOWN.-Nearly every one acknowledges that there is something almost terrific in the idea of Ibrahim Pacha being actually in London. We have been so in the habit of reading about his impetuosity and all that kind of thing, that we cannot conceive his putting up quietly at "THE HOUSE OF PEEL."-Such is the heading given by some of our contemporaries to the subjoined paragraph :— "The following passage occurs in the Rev. John Wesley's Journal, bearing date July 27, 1787-I was invited to breakfast, at Bury, by Mr. Peel, a calico printer, who, a few years ago, began with 5007., and is now supposed to have 50,000l.'" We take it, there is many a "house"-for the sneer implied in the word is not to be mistakenthat could not give so truly noble a beginning. How many "houses," for instance, began with plunder-how many with debauchery? There are a few escutcheons we could name, that, with all their dragons glorified, and bend-sinisters, would look very small before Mr. Peel's spinning-jenny. From the Journal of Commerce. As the great problem is at length solved, showing what portion of the Oregon territory belongs to Great Britain, and what portion to the United States, the next thing is to examine the value of the possessions thus allotted to us. Many descriptions of Oregon have been published-but none which we have seen, bears so evidently the marks of candor, and a personal acquaintance with the subject, as one which has just reached us from Canton, China. We learn from a correspondent there, that it was written by Rev. Mr. Hines, who for several years has resided in Oregon as a missionary of the Methodist Church, and has recently returned to this country, taking China in his way. He there left the manuscript of his description, and it was printed at the Hong Kong Register office, after his departure for the United States. He arrived here on the 4th of May last. extensive tract, where anything can be raised. And this, be it observed, is the tract, or district, about which two great nations have been disputing these thirty years, and for the possession of which they have at times been in imminent danger of incurring the direst calamities. The face of this country (says Mr. Hines) is wonderfully diversified, and presents every variety of scenery, from the most awfully grand and sublime to the most beautiful and picturesque in nature. In the vicinity of Puget's Sound the country is level and exceedingly beautiful, and consists mostly of prairie land, with but a small portion of timber; but, with this exception, all along the coast it is broken and mountainous. On approaching the coast at the mouth of the Columbia river, ridges of high lands appear on either hand as far as the eye can reach, and the more elevated points serve as land-marks to guide the mariner through the intricate channel across the fearful "Bar of the Columbia." One high mountain called by the Mr. Hines describes the Oregon Territory as Indians "Swalalahoost," from an Indian tradition, bounded northerly 120 miles by Puget Inlet, and and from its appearance, is supposed to have once from the eastern termination of that inlet by a been an active volcano. With but little variation ridge of mountains which divides the waters of the country from 30 to 50 miles back from the Frazer's river from those which flow into the Co- coast, presents a rough, wild and mountainous aslumbia, said ridge extending in a direction east-pect, and is covered with dense forests of fir, north-east to the Rocky Mountains. According spruce and cedar trees. Passing over this broken to this definition, the United States have in truth got nearly the whole of Oregon," though they have stopped a long way short of 54.40. The natural boundary described by Mr. Hines, is the boundary which would have resulted from Mr. Calhoun's able argument in support of the American title, addressed to the British minister, Mr. Pakenham. Mr. C. claimed for the U. States all the country drained by the Oregon or Columbia river. It is however better to adopt the 49th parallel, agreeably to the treaty just signed and ratified by the American government, (and which is sure to be signed and ratified by the British government,) because it leaves no chance for future differences, and gives us a territory more symmetrical and compact. 66 border of the country, you descend on the north side of the Columbia into the valley of the Cowilitz, and on the south into that of the Wallamette river. These valleys extend eastward to that range of mountains which, crossing the Columbia river, forms the Cascades, and is therefore called the Cascade Mountains." Comprised in these valleys are many extensive prairies, beautiful woodlands, numberless hillocks, rising grounds and majestic hills, from the top of some of which, scenery, as enchanting as was ever presented to the eye, delights and charms the lover of nature, who takes time to visit their conical summits. That part of Oregon extending from the Cascade mountains to the Pacific Ocean, is called the "Lower Country," and is about one hundred and thirty miles wide. The Pacific coast which falls to us under the treaty, is about 450 miles in length, extending The Cascade Mountains extend in one continufrom lat. 42 to Cape Flattery at the entrance of ous range, parallel with the coast, quite to CaliforPuget Inlet. Along the inlet we have a "water nia, and have therefore sometimes been called the front" of 120 miles; making a total of near 600" Californian Range.' Those whose mountain miles of coast, without including the gulf which observations have not been very extensive, can projects from the east end of Puget Inlet, far to the southward, commonly called Admiralty Inlet. These two inlets-the latter of which is wholly ours contain a plenty of good harbors, and they are the only good harbors we possess on that coast. South of Cape Flattery, the only harbor which a ship can enter is the mouth of Columbia river, and that, as all our readers know, is difficult of access, and often extremely dangerous. The area of surface embraced within American Oregon as defined by the treaty, is probably not less than 300,000 square miles; or more than six times that of the state of New York. From Mr. Hines' description of it we now proceed to quote, in his own words. The reader will observe that the country about Puget Sound, which has been generally described as an excellent agricultural district, is represented by Mr. Hines as extremely barren, although "level, and exceedingly beautiful." Strictly speaking, he says, there is no soil. The prairies are covered with shingle, or small stones, with scarcely any admixture of earth. Indeed, there are but few places on this somewhat form no just conceptions of the grandeur and magnificence of this stupendous range. The highest peaks are covered with eternal snows, and presenting their rounded tops to the heavens, appear like so many magnificent domes to adorn the great temple of nature. Some of them are more than fifteen thousand feet above the level of the sea. From one elevation, near the Wallamette river, and from sixty to one hundred and fifty miles distant, the writer has counted eight of these snowcapped mountains without moving from his tracks. Surely no sight can be more enchanting.-One of these mountains, viz., St. Helen, requires a more particular account from a phenomenon which it presented three years ago. In the month of October, 1842, this mountain was discovered, all at once, to be covered with a dense cloud of smoke, which continued to enlarge and move off in dense masses to the eastward, and filling the heavens in that direction, presented an appearance like that of a tremendous conflagration viewed at a vast distance. When the smoke had passed away, it could be distinctly seen, from various parts of the country, So far as the face of this entire country is concerned, perhaps no other in the world presents a more varied or a more interesting appearance. The climate of Oregon varies materially as you proceed from the coast into the interior. To a proper understanding of the climate, it is necessary to consider the winter and summer separately. The winds which prevail in the winter are from the south and east, sometimes veering to the southwest. They usually commence about the first of November, and continue till the first of May. that an eruption had taken place on the north side | rocks, ice and snow, present themselves on every of St. Helen; and from the smoke that continued side, and defy the power of language fully to to issue from the chasm or crater, it was pronoun- describe them. ced to be a volcano in active operation. When the explosion took place vast quantities of dust or ashes were thrown from the chasm, and fell in showers for many miles distant. This mountain is the most regular in its form, and most beautiful in its appearance of all the snow-clad mountains of Oregon, and though on the north side of the Columbia, it belongs to the Cascade Range. Mount Hood, on the south side of the Columbia, is more elevated than St. Helen, and presents a magnificent object on which the eye can gaze without weariness, from innumerable points more than one hundred and fifty miles from its base. But any description of these gigantic piles of Basalt and snow must fall far below the reality; and it is only necessary to gaze for one moment upon these majestic glaciers, to be impressed with the insignificance of the works of art, when compared with the works of nature. Passing over the Cascade Range to the eastward, you come into another extensive valley, which reaches to the foot of another range, which from its azure like appearance, is called the "Blue Mountains." This valley is about two hundred miles broad, and is called the "middle country.' A number of beautiful rivers flow through this valley, and it is also intersected by broken ridges, which divide the numerous streams by which it is watered. This part of the country abounds in extensive plains and "prairie hills," but timber is so very scarce, that the eye of the traveller is :seldom delighted with the appearance of a tree. The Blue Mountains" are steep, rocky and volcanic, and some of them are covered with perpet mal snow. They run nearly parallel with the Cascade Range, though, far to the south, branches of them intersect with the latter range. They are about midway betwixt the Pacific Ocean and the Rocky Mountains. The country east of the Blue Mountains, is the third, or upper region, and extends to the eastern boundary of the Territory of Oregon. The face of it is more varied, if possible, than it is in that part of the country lying west of the Blue Mountains, the southern part being distinguished by its steep and rugged mountains, deep and dismal valleys, called "Holes" by the mountaineers, and wide gravelly plains. The northern part is less objectionable in its features; the plains being more extensive, the mountains less precipitous, and the valleys not so gloomy. Many portions of this upper region are volcanic, and some of the volcanoes are in constant action. Many of the plains of this region are covered with carbonate of soda, which, in some places, may be gathered in vast quantities, and renders the soil generally unproductive. On the eastern limits of this region, rise in awful grandeur the towering summits of the Rocky Mountains, which have been very properly called the "back'bone" of North America. The highest land in North America is in this range, and is near the 53d parallel of north latitude. It is called "Brown's Mountain." Near this, and in a tremendous gorge of the mountains, one of the principal branches of the Columbia takes its rise. In this region the country presents the wildest and most terrific appear ance. Stupendous glaciers, and chaotic masses of Sometimes they come on gradually, but at some seasons, they burst upon the country at once, and with the violence of a thunder storm. They are always attended with continued falls of rain, and the period of their continuance is therefore called the rainy season. During the rainy season there are intervals of warm pleasant weather, which are generally followed by cold chilly rains from the south and west. In the latter part of winter there are generally light falls of snow throughout the country, though in the valleys, and particularly in the Wallamette valley, it seldoms falls more than two or three inches deep. However, in the winter of 1841 and '42 the snow fell in this valley twelve inches deep, but eight days afterwards it had all disappeared. Though the winters are disagreeable on account of the chilliness of the southeast winds, and the extreme humidity of the atmosphere, yet the cold is very moderate, the thermometer seldom falling below freezing point. As a matter of course the ground is seldom frozen, and therefore ploughing may be done a great portion of the winter. Occasionally, however, there is an exception to this. A few days before the great fall of snow already mentioned, the mercury fell in some parts of the country, to fifteen degrees below zero; and it continued excessively cold for several days. The lakes were all frozen, so that cattle and horses could pass over them on the ice, and the Columbia river as far down as the mouth of the Wallamette, was bridged with ice for the period of fifteen days. A similar circumstance occurred in the winter of 1834. In the middle region the rains are not so abundant as in the lower country; the weather is colder, and there is consequently more snow. In that portion of Oregon east of the Blue Mountains called the upper region, it seldoms rains except in the spring, and then the rains are not protracted. Vast quantities of snow fall in this region, particularly in the mountains. This part of the territory is distinguished for the extreme dryness of its atmosphere, which, with the vast difference in the temperature betwixt the day and night, forms its most peculiar trait, so far as climate is concerned. From sunrise till noon, the mercury frequently rises from forty to sixty degrees. It should be observed that none of the winters of Oregon are either so stormy or so cold, but that cattle, horses, sheep, &c., find ample supplies of provender on the wide spread prairies, whither they are driven, to roam at large. If the winters of Oregon are rather stormy and unpleasant, the summers are sufficiently delightful, to counterbalance all that is disagreeable in the winters. In the month of March, the weather becomes sufficiently warm to start vegetation, so that thus early, the prairies become beautifully green and many of Flora's choicest gifts appear, to herald the approach of summer. The summer winds are from the west and north, and there is seldom any pleasant weather, except when these prevail. After a long rainy winter, the people of this country look for the healthy and exhilarating breeze from the bosom of the Pacific, with great solicitude. At length, the wished-for change takes place. The howl of the storm, and the roar of the southern winds, are hushed to silence; the hills and valleys are gently fanned by the western zephyr, and the sun, pouring his floods of light and heat from a cloudless sky, causes nature as by enchantment, to enrobe herself in all the glories of summer. The delightful weather thus ushered in, continues through the entire summer, with but little deviation, and the temperature of the atmosphere, particularly in the Wallamette valley, is agreeably warm and uniform. At noon in the warmest weather the thermometer ranges at about 82 in the shade, but the evenings are considerably cooler. The coolness of the evenings doubtless goes far to neutralize the effects of the malaria that is exhaled through the influence of the sun, from the swamps and marshy places, which are found in some parts of the country. From personal experience, and extensive observation in reference to this particular, the writer is prepared to express the opinion, that the climate of Oregon is decidedly favorable to health. And why should it not be? The temperature, particularly in the lower country, is remarkably uniform. The country is not therefore subject to the evil resulting from sudden changes from extreme heat to extreme cold. The exhilarating ocean breeze, which sets in almost every day during the summer, contributes greatly to purify the atmosphere. These circumstances, connected with the fact that there is but little decaying vegetable matter in the country, and but few dead swamps and marshes to send forth their poisonous miasma, to infect the surrounding regions, are sufficient to show that Oregon must be the abode of health, and that human life is as likely to be protracted, and men to die of old age in this country, as in any other portion of the world. Indeed, such is the healthiness of the climate of this country, that but very few white persons have here sickened and died, since its first occupancy by such, more than thirty years ago. Yet, with these facts before them, there are persons who are ready to publish far and near that the climate of Oregon, and particularly of the lower country, is "decidedly unhealthy. That the most malignant and fatal fevers prevail," than which no representation could be more erron cous. True the ague and fever, in a very modified form, sometimes prevails in the lower country but it is easily controlled by proper remedies, and finally leaves the person with a vigorous, and an unimpaired constitution, and seldom returns the second season. Those persons who have lived longest in the country, are generally the most healthy and vigorous; which of itself is a sufficient proof of the friendliness of the climate to the promotion of health. If there is any difference between the different portions of Oregon in regard to the healthiness of its climate, the middle region, and that immediately along the coast, are the most sal brious. The climate of the valleys of the Wallamette, Cowlitz, Umpqua, and Clameth rivers is well calculated for wheat, barley, oats, peas, apples, peaches, potatoes, turnips, and all other vegetables usually cultivated in the temperate latitudes, while horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, &c., flourish and multiply beyond all parallel; but in the middle and some parts of the upper region, the climate is well adapted to all the pursuits of a pastoral life. With a uniform, salubrious, and delightful climate, as well adapted to purposes of agriculture as any within the same degrees of latitude in any part of the world, Oregon loses much of its importance, if the fertility of the soil does not correspond with the nature of the climate. The soil of Oregon has been variously represented by persons who have visited the country. Some have viewed it in altogether too favorable a light, while others have greatly underrated it. Some have placed it among the first in the world, while others have considered Oregon as a boundless desert, fit only to be the habitation of wild beasts and savage men. These conflicting representations doubtless have arisen from a superficial acquaintance with the country by the authors of them. They have either not stayed in the country a sufficient length of time to become acquainted with its real productiveness, or they have relied upon that information which has been artfully designed to prevent the country from being known. The bottom lands, on each bank of the Columbia river, are subject to an annual inundation which is occasioned by the melting of the vast quantities of snow which fall on its upper branches, among the mountains. This flood continues through the month of June and into July, so that whatever may be the richness of the land thus overflowed, but small portions of it will ever be brought to contribute to the support of man. There are however some portions which lie above high water mark, and are remarkably fertile, and produce in abundance all the grains and vegetables common to the best parts of the country. Fort Vancouver is situated on one of these higher parts of the Columbia valley, and here a farm of two thousand acres is cultivated, and produces annually several thousand bushels of grain. Here also apples, pears, and peaches are cultivated successfully, and grapes are brought to a degree of perfection. Though but few attempts have as yet been made to cultivate the uplands, or timbered lands, yet sufficient has been done to prove that the soil of these portions must be of a superior quality. And indeed this is attested by the immense growth of the timber itself. No interior soil could send forth those enormous trunks, which in their upward progress spread their magnificent brauches to the skies, and often rear their heads to the amazing height of three hundred feet. Clatslop Plains, on the south side of the Columbia river, near its mouth, embracing an area of about sixty square miles, are amazingly fertile, being composed of a rich alluvial deposit, and producing all kinds of vegetables in the greatest abundance. The country around Puget's Sound on the north side of the river, is altogether of a different character. The prairies are extensive and beautiful, the scenery most delightful, but strictly speaking, there is no soil to the country. The prairies are covered with shingle, or smal! stones, with scarcely any mixture of earth.

The upper region of Oregon is less fertile than the middle, though there are many thousands of acres in various parts of it of good arable land. What has often been said of Oregon as a whole, may be said in truth of a large portion of the upper country, viz., that "it is an extensive barren waste, capable of supporting but a very small number of inhabitants."

Some yellow gravelly sand is found high up the river, but this embraces but a small proportion of the valley. The ability of the soil to produce is best ascertained by considering the crops which are annually taken from the land. Under the present system of cultivation the average amount of wheat taken from the English acre, is from twenty-five to thirty bushels. The amount of labor required to accomplish this, is comparaBut this remark will only apply to the upper tively trifling. The writer has formerly resided region of this vast territory.

The first crop, however, is never so good as the succeeding ones. It is not an uncommon thing for farmers, without using any extraordinary means, to take from fifty to sixty-five bushels of wheat from an acre, and this has been the average through entire fields. Doubtless, if farmers would take more pains in cultivating the land, they would realize much more from the acre than they do now; but, if they lose anything in this respect, they gain an equiv alent in the immense number of acres which they cultivate. The amount of English grain raised ny the different farmers in the country varies from 50 to 300 acres each. As wheat never suffers country are great, and it is only necessary for them to be known, to be duly appreciated. It is only necessary to present one single circumstance to show what the country would be capable of doing, provided it was filled with an industrious population. It will be borne in mind that in the fall of 1843 an emigration arrived in the country numbering from eight to ten hundred But few of these raised anything by farming, towards their support, the first year. In the fall of 1844 another emigration, equal to the former, arrived, and all those persons, numbering at least 1800, with the former population, which was about equal to the two emigrations, depended upon the products of 1844 for subsistence until the harvest of 1845. Probably not more than one fourth of the entire population cultivated the land in 1844, yet they were all supported from the granaries of the country; fifteen thousand bushels of wheat were shipped to the Russian settlements; one thousand barrels of flour were exported to the Sandwich Islands; and thousands of bushels ye remained on hand, before the abundant harvest of 1845 was gathered in. With these facts in view, |
