Sax Fiiaxcisco, Sept. 14, '59.
Kn. Anuts: I left you September 8th.
That night I watched tlio limits of Port
laud gleaming and fading in the distance',
and, when they could no longer he Been, I
hade good-bye to my Oregon, for tlio rest
was he-low my habitat.
The next morning aro.se gray, clump, and
chilly. We were in the Columbia. It
won pleasant, after having been pent up in
our canyon for six mouths, to look at its
broad flood, and its broad bottoms on ci
ther baud. The mist Ininz in razeed
patches on the hill tops, or crept lazily tip
J their sides. Tho hills for the most part lie
t back from the river, eiulte a stretch of
marsh or low willow hind, nearly useless for
agricultural purposes, Intervening. Hut
sometimes they rise from tho water's edge
; in successive terraces of columnar basalt.
Sometimes, if my eyes did not deceive me,
; between the strata of basalt occurs a coarse
! sand-stone, very common in tho Willamette
valley. A.i we approached the mouth, the
contortion of tho rocks appeared to in
f crease, exhibiting surer signs of volcanic ac
S tion than I have seen nearer the mountains.
, I have never been able to account for this.
Indeed, what I have seen of the Cascade
I mountains is rather a hard nut for my lim-
Hod geological knowledge to crack. If
j they are tho result of volcanic upheaval,
why should not tho strata be broken, ns in
the Itocky Mountains? If the sand-stone,
which is intermixed with and underlies tlio
whole Imp formation, is a deposition from
water, why, in the successive depressions
and elevations that must have taken place,
were not the strata at least a little broken?
Yet 1 have never seen any evidence of gen-
I cral disturbance.
t .'.Wo passed by Astoria and Pacific City,
(the hitter consisting of one house,) both
; of which appear to have obtained their
J growth into the north channel, for tho
j southern o:ic is not tpiite safe except in calm
weather. L' we may believe some, its depth
s is gradually diminishing, and is changeable.

': compelled to retire from my post of obser
i vntion.
'i During the night wo went into Umpqna
harbor. I could not see very distinctly,
? but to the left stretched a sandy beach pur-
tially covered by stunted shrubbery, scat-
itered among which, near the water, were a
few low huts. This was terminated within
night by a well-timbered mountain. The
j right shore, ascending, rises more abruptly,
j and sustains a dense growth of fir. A few
' farms lio on both sides, apparently small
and in poor condition.
Port Orlbrd, our next stopping place, is
; a small collection of old houses, mostlv un
painted. I could see no indications of till-
f able land anywhere even the trees which
j commence their growth a little distance
4 back look stunted and dwarfed for want of
proper nourishment. Tlio Corpiille lies
; about thirty miles in the interior, but I
think affords no support to Port Orford.
tj On Saturday night at 10 o'clock we
rtood off Crescent City. It is perhaps
; half as large as Oregon City, situated at
the northern end of the harbor, and must
do a thriving business, as it is the point of
cappi fur fl lar2 mm'no district. To the
othcast streiJ'cs a sandy plain, through
i whieh iriud. the paci:- trail to the interior.

i town takes its name) is continued la." into
j the ocean by a long line of peaks that rise
in succession from the water white the
resting-place of all sea-birds for oges.
These are all that remain of the rocky walls
' that once sheltered the harbor on either side,
j. The ship's boats were scut ashore, and di-
rectly returned with a crowd of passengers
: of all classes and conditions. Babies
t squalled and men swore. One woman was
sick, even to fainting, and another one
I drunk. Disgusted with the confusion, I
; left, and addressed myself to slumber.
AVIufo I came on deck the next morning I
, found that the wind, which had been here
jtofore strong and favorable, had, as our
avails swelled to leave Crescent City, chang
ed within five minutes from north to south,
J reducing our speed to a very low figure.

turn to President Fillmore, unaccepted, the
Cabinet appointment with which he was
honored in 1850; nnd although by no means
uu indifferent spectator of public affairs, he
has steadily through life regarded the pri
vate station as tho post of honor and inde
pendence. Awiiro too, us he is, that his
iiiiino is on many lips iu connection with the
Presidency, he never alluded to it iu our
whole conversation, although he spoke sev
eral times of the sad results which the coun
try might expect if the present Administra
tion was succeeded by one kindred to it in
sentiment, and of the auspicious future to
which a union of the Opposition might lead.
Mr. Hates converses freely and frankly
witlt his neighbors mid friends, ns ho always
has done, in regard to tho political condi
tion of the country. And I do not feel,
therefore, that I betray nny confidence in
giving you some points of our conversation
which limy be of interest in your section; es
pecially us I find his views urc well known
by leading men in St. Louis of all parties
with whom I conversed.
And first, let mo say that the paragraph
in his letter to the New York Whigs, dep
recating the agitation of " the negro ques
tion," has been by many misunderstood.
As the Whig party is tho only oue with
which he has been connected, he consented,
at the request of a Whig Committee, to
write the letter winch was published; and.
while stcrnlv condemn'm? the nlots for Cu-
ban annexation, Mexican protectorates, means bounded by party lines, would swell j t't'l,t1' (',;n- I'r0(;t01'. wlo played so itn-L-c.,

them on other questions, such as river and ity is equally eminent; and when you count J P.ritain, and who rendered himself so odious
tion on the slavery question. IJut Ins plan
for stopping that, agitation is to crush out
politically tiie Democratic party, which, ns
lie shows in the same letter, is continually
opening new lountains of discord on tliut

cmplilicutiou of his position. A Ithongh 'years ago, lost the State by only 300, mid

The DnlTalo Courier of A ng. 18 gives tin
account of the performances of Mons. Blon-
din on the two inch ropo stretched across
the Xingnru Itiver below tho Fulls, After
proceeding about ono hundred feet on tho
rope he stopped, swung one foot and then
the other, and then walking along fifteen or
twenty feet, stopped, and tUmd vprn hi
htad! head resting on the balancing
pol?, which lay nero?s the rope, the ends
supported upon the guy ropes. lie then
ran ulong the rope, stood upon his land
sat down turned nomsrsrlt backwards and
forwards, nnd proceeded to the middle of
the river where there arc no guys. Ho
hero laid down on the ropo on his buck nt
full length, stood on his head, laid his bal
ancing polo across the ropo and stood upoti
it with one foot, and buhinced it with the
other foot, his hands lying by his side. He
then passed along the rope to where the
guys ou the Canada sidu were fastened, and
laid down his balancing pole, and returned
with his body suspended beneath the rope,
running along with his hands and feet its an
tipe to the middle of tho rope, between tho
guys, llo here went through with all tho
feats attempted by tight rope performers,
such as hanging by one foot, then the other,
by oue hand, then chopping his body down
full length below the rope, nnd whirling
round, resting his breiist upon the rope, ami
with arms and legs extended us if in the act
of swimming, lie hung by both arms,
and then passed his body between his arms
und tho rope, und in fact performed nil feats
ever accomplished by the most agile tight
rope performers. Iteturning to where his
balancing polo was, ho took it up, and
crossed to the Canada bank, stopping sev
eral times to turn somersets, stand upon his
head, upon one foot, and to lay down upon
the rope. On reaching ' tho shore, he was
received with tremendous cheers from tho
crowd, and the locomotives on the bridge
und on both sides of the river responded
with their whistles.
M. Blondin occupied something over half
ait hour in crossing, most of tho time being
spent in his performances on the rope. llu
remained on the Cuiiada side to rest nnd
refresh himself somo fifteen or twenty min
utes, nnd again nppenred upon the rope.
This timo ho had his iigent, Mr. Henry
Colcord, a man weighing about 130 pounds
upon his back, uud his balancing polo in
his hands, llo proceded down the rop't
very slowly and cautiously, as if feeling
every filep, until ho was about ono hundred
feet from the Canada side, when Mr. Col
cord dismounted nnd stood upon the ropo
immediately behind iMr. Blondin. They
here remained lo rest probably three or four
minutes, when Mr. Colcord again mounted,
and Mr. Blondin proceeded, still walking
very slowly, und stopping occasionally to
bidaiico himself. They stopped five limes
in crossing, and each time Mr. Colcord dis
mounted, and 'again resumed his position.
Ho hud his arms around Mr. Biondin's neck
and his legs rested on tho balancing pole,
lie wus in hiH shirt sleeves, uud wore u
straw hat. About twenty-two minutes'
wiru occupied in accomplishing tho first
halt of Ihu rope, and the balance; in I wcuty,
making forty-two miuiiles from bunk to
bank.
For somo seconds before tho A inericnu
slioro wus reached the crowd gathered
around tho cud of the rope becaiuo very
noisy, and a good deal of excitement pre
vailed, and when lie reached the staging on
this hide safely the vast crowd shouted with
the greatest enthusiasm.
On reaching tlio landing Mr. IJIonditi
was much flushed and appeared very much
futigued, while M r. Colcord was pale but
did not betray any signs of fear. It was
about half pn::t six o'clock when ho reuched
this side, and the. Irtiini, which hud been
detained nnd were ready, started immedi
ately for their several destinations with
probably five thousand persons.
