Not hearing from you for ao great e length of lime, I had concludod uiyaelf to be the last of my father's family remaining here, pilgrim in the wide world, to com plelo the work tbtt God intended for me to do. V Oh, thai I could be preieut with you, nnd roUto in the bearing of your children the numerous vicissitude and danger I have encountered by Imid and by sea sinco - I lost parted with you and M in Brim field. It would fill a volume of many pages. But I will givo you a few item jjrom tho time I led Missouri in Agril, 1 810, for Oregon. I exported all of my children to accompany mo, but Matitliano was de tained by sickness, and his wife waa un willing to leave her. parents. I provided for myself a good ox-wagon team, and a good supply of what was requisite for the comfort of myself, Capt. Brown, and my driver. Uncle John insisted upon coming, and crossed the plains on horseback. Orris Brown, with his wife and eight children, Virgil K. Pringle, P. Brown's husband and five children, fitted out thitlr separate fam ilies, and joined a trniu of forty more for Oregon, in high expectations of gaining the wished-for land of promise. The novelty of our journey, with a few exceptions, was plensitg and prosperous until after we passed Ft. llall; then we vera within 800 miles of Oregon City. If we had kopt the old road down the Co lumbia River, all would have gone well ; but three or four trains of immigrants were decoyed off by a rascally fellow who came out from the settlements in Oregon, assuring ns that he hud found a near cut off, and that if we would follow him we wou'd ho in the settlements lung before tli'Vio that had gone down the Columbia. This was in August. The Idea of shorten ing a long journey, caused us to yield to his advice. Our sufferings from that time no longu" can toll, lie left a pilot with us who proved to be nii excellent man, oth erwise we uever would have seen Oregon, lis said that he Would clear the road be. for us that we should have no trouble in rolling our wagons after him. He robbed us of what he could by lying, and left us to (he depredations of Indians, wild beasts, and starvation, tin! Owl was with us. - We had sixty miles desert without grass or water, mountains to climb, cattle giving out, wagons breaking, immigrants sick and dying, hostile Indians to guard against by night and by day to keep from being killed, or having our horses and cattle arrowed or stolen. We were carried south of Or egon hundreds of miles into Utah Territo ry and California, full in with the Karnnth and Rogue River Indians, lost nearly all our cattle, passed the Umpqua mountains 13 miles through. I rode through at the risk of my life, on horseback,, having lost my wagon and all I had-but the horse I was on'. Our family was the first thai started into ihe ravine, so we got through the mud and rocks much better than those that came in after. Out of hundreds of wagons but one camn through without breaking. The ravine was strewn willi dead cattle, broken wagons, beds, clothing, and every thing but provisions, of which we were nearly all destitute. Some peo ple were in the'ravine two(and three week" before they could get through. Some died -without any warning, from fatigue and starvation. Others ate of the flesh of the cattle' that were lying dead by the wayside. After struggling through mud, rocks, and water up to our horses' sides much ol the way in crossing this twelve mile moun tain', on the third day we opened into the 'beautiful Umpqua valley, inhabited only by Indians and wild beasts. We had still another mountain to cross, the cattle poor, 'and many miles to travel through mud, enow, hail, and rain. Winter bad set in j we were yet a long distance from any white settlement. The word was, "Fly, every one, from itarvation! all who are 'not compelled to stay by the cattle to re cruit them for farther traveling." Mr. Pringle aud Pherne insisted on my going Ahead with their uncle John, and try to save onr own lives. They were obliged lo stay back a few days lo recruit their few . worn out cattle. They divided the last bit of bacon, of which 1 had three slices, n tea-cup of tea, the last division of all we tad. (So bread!) We saddled our horse and set off,.not knowing that we should ever see each other again. Captain Bcown was loo old and feeble to render any assist ance or protection tome. 1 was obliged to ride ahead as a pilot, hoping to overtake . four or five wagcaa that left camp the day before. Xear sunset, came up with two fru;!:e "bo fc? I k cwp t'.-it try'n?. -A Weekly Newspaper, devoted to the Principles of Jeflersonitin Vol. II. They had nothinz to eat, and their cattle Hud giv enfcut. We ail camped in an oak grove logether for the uiuhU , In the morn ing I divided my last morsel with them, to tuke care for themselves, I hurried Capt. Brown to ri Jo fast ao as to overtake the threo wagons ahead. We passed through beautiful valley and over high mountains, aaw but two Indians at a distance through the day. . In the after part of the day Capt. Brown complained of sickness, and could only walk hi horse at a distance behind me. He had a swimming in his head, and a pain in his side. About two or three hur before sundown he became delirious and fell from hi horse. I waa afraid to jump down from my horse to assist him, as it was one that a woman had never rode be fore. He tried to raiso upon his feet, but could not. 1 rodo close to him, and set the end of his lignum vitic cano, that I had in my hand, hard into the ground by him, to pull up by. I then urged him to walk a little. He tot'ered along a few yard and gave out. I then saw a little sunken spot a few steps from me, and led his horse down into it, and with much difficulty got him once more raised on his horse. I then requested him to hold fast by the saddle and horse's mane, aud I would lead by the bridle. Two miles ahead was another mountain to climb over. As we reached tho foot of it he was able to take the bridle in his own hand, and we passed over safely into a large valley a wide, extensive, soli ttry place, nnd no wagons in sight. Tho sun was now setting. The wind was blow ing, and tho rain was drifting upon the sides of .the distant mountains. Poor me ! We crossed the plain to where three moun tain spurs met, with ravines meandering betwixt the points. Here, the shades of night were gathering fast, and I could see the wagon track no further. I alighted from my horse, flung off my saddle and saddle bags, nnd tied him fast with a rope to a tree. The Captain asked what I was going io do. My answer was, ''! am going to camp for tho niulit !' lie gave a groan and full to the ground. I gathered my wagon sheet which I had put under my saddle, flung it over a fine projecting limb of a tree, and made me a fine lent. I then stripped the Captain's horse and lied him, placing saddles and bridles, blankets, Ac, under the tent, then helped up the bewil- lered old gentleman and introduced him to his n.iW lodgings upon ' ho naked ground. His senses were gone. I covered him as well as I could with blankets, and sca'ed myself upon my feet behind him, expect ing he would be a corpse before morning. Pause for a moment, and consider my sit uation. Worse than alone in a aavaue wilderness without food or fire cold and shivering wolves fighing and howling all around me the darkness of night forbid, ding the stars to shine. Solitary 1 all wax solitary as death 1 But that same kind Providence that ever has been, was watch ing over me still, t committed my all to him and felt no fear. As soon as light had dawned I pulled down our tent, saddled the horses, and found )he captain able to stand on his feet. Half mile ahead were the wag ons, we were soon mere, ano partoos plentifully of fresh venison. Fresh trucks of two Indians were plain ly io be seen within eight or ten feet "f where my tent was set, but I did not know that they were there. They killed anil rubbed a Mr. Ne wton but a short distance off, but would not kill his wife because she was a woman. The Indian killed one oth er man on our cut off. The rpst of the iin migrants escaped with their lives. We then traveled on, and in a few days came to the foot of the Callapgpia Moun tain. Here we were obliged to wait for more immigrants lo help cut a road hrou"h. Here my children and grand children came up with us a joyful meet ing! They had been nearly starving. Mr. Pringle tried to shoot a wolf ; but he wa loo weak and trembling to bold his rifle steady. They all cried because they had nothing to eat. Just then their son came lo them with a supply, and then they all 'cried azain. Winter set in. We were many days in crossing the Callapooia mountain, having to go ahead only a mile or two each day.' The road had to be cut and opened for us, and the mountain was covered with snow. With much difficulty we crossed over to the head waters of the Willamette. We followed the river down a few days, and gave up the idea of reaching the settlements until spring returned. Provisions cave out Mr. Pringle set off on. horseback for the settlements for reljef, not knowing how long be was to he gone, or whether he would get through at all. In a weak or so our scanty provisions gave out. We were again in a state of starvation. Much cry ing and many tear were shed during th day by all but one. She had pasted through many trials, sufficient lo convince her that Vim rou!dar3;! ro'.hTij tc oar ix'.reavfy." m vim n OREGON CITY, Through all my sufferings crossing the plain not onoe did I seek relief by the shed ding of tears nor think I should not live to see the settlements. The same faith and hope that 1 had ever in I he blessing of kind Providence, strengthened io propor tion to the trial I had to encounter. Mr Pringle's eldest ton, Clatk. shot down one of his father' best work oxen, and dressed it. I must now digress a little. In the year '13 Orus Brown came lo Or egon to look at the country. In '45 he returned. When. within four or five hun dred miles of the United State frontier, he and the three men with him were taken by he Pawnee Indians aud robbed. They made their escape, aud subsisted on thorns and ros 'buds until they reached the frontier settlements. Very likely you saw the pub lication of Dr. White, O. Brown, Chapman, and one other, taken by the Pawnees iu 1845. Id '40, when we all started for Oregon, Osu Browo was appointed pilot, having crossed the plains twice before.

We had all retired to ret in our tents, hoping to for get our troubles until daylight should re mind us of our sad fate. In tho gloomy stillness of the night footsteps of horses were heard rushing to our tent, and directly a halloo I It wot the well known voice of O. Brown and V. Pringle. Who can real- ize our joy 1 Orus, by his persuasion and purse vera nee, encouraged us to one more e Tort to reach the settlements. Five milos from where we were camped fell in with a company of half-breed French and Indians with pack-horses. We hired six of them and pushed ahead. Our pro Visions once more becamo short, and we were puton allowance until we reached the first settlers. Then our hardest struggles were ended. On Christmas day, at 2 o'clock P. M. I entered the house of a Methodist minister, the first I -bad set my feet in for nine months.' Ho requested me to tako the whole charge of his house and family thro' the winter. My services compensated for my own board and Captain Brown's thro' the winter. For two or three weeks of my journey down ihe Willamette had something in my glove finger which I supposed to be a button. On examination at my new home in Salem, I found it lo be a d cent piece. This was the whole of my eaih capital wiih which lo commence business in Oregon. With this I purchased three needles tra ded off some of my old clolhn to the squaws for buckskins worked them into gloves for the Oregon ladies and gentlemen, which cleared me upwards of $30,00, extra of boarding. In May '47 I left Salem, which is now our seat of Government, for Oregon City, 3H miles down the Willamette, in an open boat, in company with my Methodist min ister and family j from thence down the Columbia river to the Pacific Ocean. Here I spent the winter at Clatsop Plains a set tlement south of ihe Bay? All this time there were hut ten families residing there I boarded with a Mr. Gray and lady, mis sionaries from Rallstown, New York a very genteel family, and spent the sum mer in visiting and bathing in the otean. Thesnrf of two ocean (Atlantic and Pa cific) has rolled over me. In October I started in an open boat up the river for .Salem. Wind and tide against us, we were thirteen days reaching Oregon city. Here I was within 30 mile of Tualatin Plains Orus Brown's location. It would not do for a mother to pass by. I luckily found a man, witn an empty wag on, going out, who lived neighbor to Orus. I gave two dollars for my passage, calculat ing tospend two weeksonly with Orus and family, and reach Salem before the winter rains set in. Went to a P-esbyterian meet ing on Sunday. After meeting Orus gave mean introduction to Mrs. and Mr. Clark, missionaries from New York, who came here in 1840. They invited me home with them to spend few day. Winter set in, and they pressed me hard lo stay until spring. I accepted their invitation, and our intimacy ever since has been more like mother and children than strangers. ' In October, 1847, news from ihe suffer ing immigrants reached us. Much sick ness and many deal h on the plains, and many poor orphan children left to an un feeling world, to be cared for 5y stranger. I said to Mr. Clark. "Why has Providence frowned on me and left m poor in this world I Had he bkssed me with riches, a he has many others. I know right well what I would do !" What would you do I" Was the ques tion.

Ho fixed a k"eii eye on me, and asked, if I ws tn earnest in what I had said. "Yes, I am." He said, "I will try wilh you amines what effort we can make. Mr. Clark would get an aeenry and try to gel assistance, and c-slubli.b a school for the first in the Plain that J should go into the old log meeting house and receive all the children, rich and joor, The parent who were able, were to pay 5,0 per week, including board, tuition, washing and all. I agreed to labor one year fur nothing. Mr. Clark aud others agreed to assist, as fur as they were able, in furnishing provisions, provided there was not a sufficiency of cash coming io to sus tain the poor. The Inst Saturdny in April found all things prepared forme logo into tho old meeting houso and clutk up my chickens the next Monday morning. The neighbors had collected to. gcther what broken knives and forks, tin pans and dishes they could part with, for the Oregou Pioneer lo commence house keeping, wilh a well educated lady from the Must, a missionaries wife, for a teacher. My family increased rapidly. In the sum mer they put me up a .boarding houso. I now had thirty boarders of both sexes, aud all ages, from five years old to twenty one. I managed them and did all my work except washing; that part was done by the scholars. In the spring of '48 wo called for trus teeshad eight appointed. They voted me the whole of the boarding house, free of' rent, for mo lo provide for myself estab lished the price of board at t'2,00 per week, and whatever I made beyond my expenses was my own. In '51 I had forty in my family at 1 60 per week. Mixed wilh my own hands 3423 poumlsof flour in less than fivo months. Mr. Clark, for the establishment of the chool, gave over to the Trustees one fourth section of land for a town plat. It has been under town incorporation two years. And at the last suasion a charter was grant ed in connection with it, fur a University, to be called Pacific University, wilh a limi tation of $50,000. The President and Professors are already here, from Vermont. The teacher and his lady in the Academy are from New York. You must excuse my troubling you with such a lengthy narrative. I had no expectation that a single relative, of my own. would ever know any thing of me what I had dono where I bad gone or what had become of me, uutil I received your letter. You must be your own judges whether I have been doing good or evil. I have labored hard for myself and the ris ing generation ; but have quit hard work and livo at my case. 1 am independent as to worldly concerns. Own a very nieely finished white framed house within a short distance of the public buildings Inch I rent for one hundred dollars per year. Have eight other town lots, without build hips, worth $150 each. Also eight cows, and a number of young cattle. I have up wards of $1,100 cash, due me. Four hun dred of i: I have donated to the University. One hundred I gave to the Academy three years ago. Thus much I have accumulated by my industry and good management, iudepen- of my children, since 1 drew the sixpence from the finger of my glove. The whole of Oregon is delightful, espe cially the Plains, of which there are many. But this West Tualatin is the most beatili- of all others. In a clear view of four or five mountain peaks, like sugar loves, are to be seen pointing up to the heavens, cov. ered with perpetuol snow. . Tbey aro vol canic, bul have all burnt out in year past, except St. Helen, which has been on fire this season. They ate generally from two and a half to three miles high. This plain contains I suppose, twenty or thirty sec- lions of land.' From where the town and public buildings are situated, a full view of the whohi is had. The outskirt of the plain is circled all around with hills at a few mile distant, covered to their summits with beautiful fine bunch grass, and fir and oak timber. Near to the edge the plain is circled clear around with beautiful fir. trees, green all the year, and three hundred feet bi"b. Io front of them, in contrast with the green, are large spreading oaks, casting their shadow over the while houses of the farmers, many of which are in full view. Grass is green here all winter, and ent ile get their living without being fed. Snow seldom lies on the ground more than a few days. , . Large improvements extend out into the plains iu every direction. You niay see, at all limes, large bauds of cattle, horses and people passing in every direction. Morning and evening we have a cool refresh ing sea breeze. The niLts are cool aud pleasant. We sleep under as much cloth ing, almost, in summer as in winter.

Fremont ha at length got his great Mariposa estate fully continued to him, and If ho can succeed in taking possession of it, may be regarded as one of the richest men living. The patent was signed by the President last week, aud delivered by him at the White Houso to Col. Fremont in pcrxou. Patents are now genoraKy signed by the Private Secretary of the President, who is thereunto authorized by an act of Congress ; but Con. Pierce signed this one with Lis own baud. Tho instrument is engrossed upon parchment, and covers twelve sheets, including, on a largo sheet of parchment, a finely executed map of Las Mnriposas, as surveyed by the United States Surveyor General. . The tract is upward of seventy square miles in extent, and i situated about 335 miles from Sau Francisco, in an easterly direction. It embrace tho town of Mari posa, containing from 3,000 to 4,000 in habitants, and a uumber of othor small towns and settlement ; and it is estimuted that there are upward of 19,000 people at present on the estate. Col. Fremont bought this land on the 10th of May, 1840, of Alvarado, ex-Governor of California, for $3,000 in cash, nnd at the time the old Californiuns laughed lit it as a very extravagant price. After a long litigation, his title has been fully con firmed by the Supreme Court at Washing ton. . Of tho value of Col. Fremont' grant it is impossiblo to speak with definiicnoss, as it is apparently almost beyond calculation. Messrs. Palmer, Cook Si Co., bankers of Sun Francisco, who have, already advanced heavily to pay the taxes upon it, and to de fray tho enormous expenses of tha suit, own one undivided half interest in the prop erty. Col. Fremont alone owns tho other half. . Already about thirty. five- millions worth of gold dust have been taken from the tract, and the per centage of earth which has yet been worked, even imperfectly, is exceedingly small. This is owing to the scanty supply of water lo be found on the tract, and a canal is projected, at a cost of $000,000, to supply this deficiency. When this is completed, the revenue lo bo derived from the estate will amount to many mill ions per ann'im. N. Y, Evening I'osU XgT There is said to be in progress iu the Protestant States of Northern Germany what may be termed, in a peculiar sense-, a a revival of religion. This is not a "tevi val" in the technical American sense, with protracted meetings, aud a remarkable con version here and there from the ranks of tho impenitent, but a calm awakening of religious feeling in communities and churches where it has-long been slumber ing. It is evinced in the increased attend ance upon church service, in the publica tion of earnest religious book and periodi cals, etc. 07" According to ihe opinion of many, there are periodic changes in the human system, life being a scale of progression, a grand staircase of years, approaching the grand climacteric step which is but a short remove fromjjthe grave. These periodic changes, or critical periods, are supposed lo occur once in seven years, and that in there seven years the body undergoes a complete change. The age of sixty-three is consid ered as tha grand climacteric, or most crit ical period of life. It is not known that there is any record to show the fouudation or correctness of this belief. 05 A Buffalo couplo recently waltzed three consecutive hours, over a distance of five and a half miles, and von a prize for the rat.

Co motion of Mr. Phelps, of Mo., the Military Committee was instructed lo in , quire into tho expediency of accepting the service of volunteers lo aid in the suppres-; (ion of Indian hostilities on the Pacifio , coast. Mr. Campbell, oCOhio, from Committee of Way and Means, lo which had been , referred a bill for the suppression of Indian Loiilities in Oregon and Washington, re-, ported a uUtiluto appropriating $300,000, to be exiiendod under the direction of tha President, for restoring and maintaining tha paceab!o disposition of the ludiau , tribe on the Pacific ooait, nnd $130,000, to purchase gunpowor. Mr. Campbell said the original bill contemplated a rather warliko movement, but tho committee . thought it would be better to report a meas. uro looking to peace- on the frontiers, as recommended by the Socrotnry of War. ' Mr. Allison, of Pa., while not disposed ' to throw any Impediment in the way of tha passage of the bill, was of the opinion that ho charge- made by Geu. Wool against Gov. Curry, ought to be investigated. Tha ' charge- was that Gov. Curry, by culling out men, purchasing horses, eVc., was iu olving the treasury to an expense of from two to fuur millions. ' Mr. Campbell, of Penn., was In favor of voting the money forthwith, and holding the administration to account hereafter. Mr. Ready, of Tenn., aaid it was suffi cient for him to know that hostilities exist to justify an appropriation for their sup pression. Mr. Lane, of Oregon, proceeded to show ' that the wnr which was commenced against thp Indians was not instigated by the white settlers, whom ho eulogized ns orderly peaceable, and gallant. The day has passed when Gen. Wool can chastise tho Indians of those Territories. Mr. Anderson, of Washington Tor., in sisted on the necessity of the appropria tion. It was not to fit out military expedi tions, or to pay one dollar for the expenses of war, but to preserve peace by support-' ng friendly Indian on their reserves, and preventing them from joining hostile tribes Mr. ZolIicoirr,of Penn., In referring to the conflicting statements about the a flair of Oregon, and Washington Territories said he thought an investigation was neces sary before voting money. Mr. Phelps advocated immediate action on the bill. . . Senate, April 4.
