Avarice seems to be loo timcli of a ruling passion anions the American penple, especially amoug a largo share of those who have eettled in Oregon. TI ey never havo seen the. Jay when their nppetilo for weahh was in the lea.it eulislied, and, ui to getting of this world' goods what they would call a competency, they never will, although they should live to be as old lis Melhiisalem. If the present near HI Doradu bIioiiM prove u.i fruitful ns Is desired by the most sanguine adventu rer, und if we should all be soon to loa led with gold ua lo bend and groan under its weight, will we be any belter prepared, or feel any more incli nation to devote a portion of our menns lo the cause of education than we now are?

Iflhlabo true, (and who will deny it ?) what momentous considerations nrc urg ing us forward lo a simultaneous effort iu behalf of education ! Nothing has afiuriled us moro pleasure than the exhibition of an awakened interest in thia matter in some sections of this country. Wo have politi cal conventions, and almost nil kinds of conven tions, which conveno their zealous attendants from all parts of tho Territory, but who among us has ever had the proud distinction of having his name enrolled as a de'egalo to an educational conven lJB?

The U. S. Mail steamer Atlantic, from Liverpool on the morning of Saturday, Juno 2, arrived at New York June 13th. Tho Atlantic arrived out at 0:50 P. M. of Sun day, May 27. Tho war news brought by this arrival is the most important that we have received since the passage of the Alma. Intelligence by the last steamer announced that nfter two nights of sanguinary conflict, tho r reach had driven tho Russian garrison from a strong position of defence before Sehastopol, and had themselves occupied it. Tho loss on both sides w as little less than eight thou sand men. Since then, two most important strategic movements have been cfTevted by tho Allies, with' complete success. The first was tho seizure and occupation of tho .Russian position on tho Tchernaya, which was effected with but littlo loss, tho enemy retiring beforo tho nl lied advance. Tho other success was yet more important, being nothing less than the capture of Kertsch, tho destruction of tho Russiau squadron and fortifications there, nnd the obtaining of entire possession of tho Sea of AzolT, on the waters of which, the allies havo now fourteen steamers. Tho enterprise was accomplii-bcd with out tho lo-s of a mail, the Russians having themselves destroyed their defences and retired. Tho telegraph wires being ex- elusive ly in the hands of tho Governmr nt, ten days must elapse ere the public can learn anything beyond what tho War Depart ment chooses, to diiloortU, but tho posses sion by the Allies of the important station of Kertsch, whance the garrison of Sehasto pol drew most of their supplies, must ex ercise a speedy influence on the siege.
