' And as the other members of our compa ny and tho public generally may, and I presume will, be In eager expectation of - something of the kind, I proposo now to cribble hastily a few , Hems, to meet, tljut i demand notwithstanding you have stolen a small viul of my thunder (without mncli lightning, however), purporting to be elic ited from a Mr. Reese, said tobeonoof three who had Been in our company brawi; 1 should think, from the implica- .turn, wno reared neither "Indians nor snakes"! By the way, there was uo man of that name in our company, first, last, or ny portion of the time, or whoso nnmo sounded like it, ;,' , v ' '"' ' The prime object of the expedition on 'toy part, aud upon the part of others also, -was health to rcinvigoratc, if possible, our Taletudinarian frames. I would uot disguise the fact, however, that we were in confident' expectation "of finding gold enough to reimburse our pockets and pay Kw liberally and bountifully for our time and trouble.' . Relative to the former, health, we more than realized our most sanguino expectations; but in reference to the latter, th.o, 'liscoveryOf .rich.; gold mines our etfort was a complete abortion a splendid failure a fat, full-grown humbug! Our . failure is tq more .to be 'resetted at this particular nick of time, as 'eaccess-would nave turned the' hundreds andlhdus'ahds'of floating wealth' and men : from Queen Tic's dominions to our own State, to aid in bear- ing the burdens of a State government, and populate and develop" the agricultural and mineral .resources of middle ,Oregonj , or more properly now, since the eastern boundary of our' State is located as -it ia, ,', eastern . Oregon" a very des'ra 1 bio and interesting portion of our Palestin ian State. , We felt, therefore, that the en ( terprise was generously patriotic, ., .,, i , ! We regretted ,'the failure also from the consideration that there was so much confi dence in the success of the enterprise in certain localities, that in the prosecution of . business some had made " a pause, a sol- eran pause, as thongh the general pulse of lift! stood still," in curious aud anxious ex- pectancy of a luxurious batch of goldcu news to dissipate all their cares; whereas - the road to wealth and fame is paved nil '.the way with daily labor, industry, applicn-i -tion, study, energy, perseverance and nci tther science, wealth," nor fame can tolerate inattention or suspended effort. ' i Doubtless, if we had discovered rich gold ' mines on tho east fork, they would hnye . been tho means . of -doubling, perhaps even trebling, out population and wealth within he limits of a 'single year.'. But,' nbtwith- i standing we found a little fine gold, we did not find it in paying quantities; dud yet our company generally believed there- were rich, deposites of gold in several places in - that country. J fou'may be prompted, from 'these' state ments, to ask why we did not find it. There are several reasons of the same cat- egory which miners and experienced trav elers will very readily perceivo and appro " elate. '",', First w6 went in search of gold at certain places, and took a new route, "from very indefinite and vague' directions, - without either guide or way-bill; and in consequence were in a state of suspense as - to our particular locality our relative lo .cality to those specified places. Suspeusc ' is always, unpleasant - and: anpoying to. a traveler. 'And we traveled' through im imense clouds of dust daily; and travel! a 'igreat deal more than was necessary to the 1 trip, had we procured a way-bill or guide, 'jor had even known, the geography, of the places songht.t In short, we did so much ' more traveling, in so much more dust and in so much more suspense, than we had an- fjeipated, that we were of consequence fa tigted anu ffopMtcd ere we arrived at the ' long looked for' places.' These specified places had absorbed aU om confidence ?nd expectations, so that we could not stop and prospect to effect at any point short , or' them. , AndVwnei weartivedand found no goi at them, there was a complete expka jon, evaporation, or dissipation of the last I flickering ray of hope in our little " Spar tan band." . And hope of success is just as ' essential to finding gold (unless by chance) ' as it is to the perseverance of the saintsr Mo befriende us here ( . i - e .,,;, Pseeioos of aouder Bam .,.. .. v..,..i."jij"Bfia4 a km : , As it k a compound of desire and expecta tion, and as we retained only one half of this poetic gem--desire it alone was; and always will be, as ineffectual and ospIpks as Me half of a pair of scissors.

So hrnrtily was this responded j to, that a considerable surplus was left af ter their wants wero met, which remained In tho British treasury; nnd this fact hav ing at length been brought to tho knowl edge of the government, it was agreed that the Amds, being no longer needed for their original purpose, should ho set. apart for tho support of tho YnudoU pastors Ac cordingly, each 0110 of them, ' sixteen in number, received annually JC40 from the Bank of Knglnnd. ; Tho source of another part of their support Is even more singular.

By the treaty of Vienna, after Napoleon's overthrow this arrnngo nicut wus permitted to rcmuiu undisturlwd; 11 ml, iu conscqucuco of it, each of tho Vuu dois pastors received X20 sterling a year.

No Eu ropean nation' (according to the French Journal do l'Imprimerie et de la LIbraire) possesses so many books, as cheap, 'well made, and convenient for reference, ' as China. : On the manuscript catalogne of a library at Canton, tho four books of Con tucius,' comprising' the' commentaries; are pnt down at a price equivalent to about scventy-fivo: cents.' Dictionaries, encyclo pedias, artistic ' descriptions, treatises on technology, codes, philosophic works,' iii one word, all those books which render in struction easy, are widely circulated In China, and the government itself favors In every' way such publications. Thus, in 1173, tho Emperor Kien-Long ordered the printing of a general library composed of tho works most esteemed by the Chinese, a library- which, according to the imperial decree should' forni n ' hundred and sixty thousand volumes! ,'. This vast and gignutic collection will form four libraries, culled See-Koro. or the Fonr Treasures. ' The printing of this collection Is not yet finished. A few years since, according to an offie:ul document, it had reached the number of seventy-eight . thousand six hundred and twehty-scven volumes.
