We know, also, that lu Mass I lusctts forty acres are considered a respectable lued farm, and that by proper tillage, it is made jo yield a rich harvest. Again we are aware of Ihe fact that thousands of acres of land in our )wn (State, not worn out Dy years or cultivation, (barren and stony, as that m Massachusetts, never have felt the touch of plough share, lie, only waiting to reward the honest toil of i industrious farmer. Putting all those facts titer, we sue that the Willamette valloy aloue Ipable of receiving and supporting several , .Jsaud Industrious farmura ; Looking simply to the one point, then, we see ..nducement that, if properly nndorstood.would ring to onr shores a large and valuable increase J population. Of our undeveloped industrial sources, we have spoken before. It is at loast Am that in this respect the ind ucements are equal, jud that thousands of all the trades and profes sions necessary in building up a new country Would find employment and ample remuneration by settling here, and making the Interest of our State identical with their own. Immediately con nected with this suhjoct ia tho question of a mar Vit for Oregon produce and" manufactures, upon which different opinions pic vail. The cry raised by many is that there i no use iu producing ar ticles for which there is no market. We shall discuss this question in oar next article upon the subject. FROM BOISE. From an Omuinnal Correspondent.) Busk Mixes. March 30, 18o4. Y.a. 8TATKSMA!! t Yon aro doubtless favored with numerous fine) stories of the richness and extent of the placer and quart! mines in this Ter ritory. It is quite probable, too. that all you have heard is not only true, bnt infinitely short of the "whole truth." This is flattering indeed to the just pride of the greatest people on tho face of the whole earth, jnst emerging successfully from the most dreadful ordeal through which any nation from the beginning of time to the momentous pros nt was ever railed to pass, toknow that not only no part of our immense domain is not productive, hut that the portion formerly pronounced worse than useless is turning but to be valuable beyond calculation. So immensely rich is this region in gold and silver, and so extensive are these mines that no one is stupid enough to ever think of fig nrestlint mavindicnto their ullimateyield. With tho above all' trite, is it not wonderful that farmers, mechanics, and business men generally don't drop their various callings, leave their families and those dependent upon them for support, to take rare of themselves a best they can, or perish if they mitt, while they rush here to secure for them elves at least a small interest in these rich minus I Of the richness and extent of those mines much has been truthfully said, yet I conceive that the 'whole truth" has not been told that very part of the truth most necessary to be known has sel dom been touched upon, and even then in such a manner as to make little or rro impression. Here then it corlainly will not be amiss to say that mining is a IrWe and a ttndy that the rules of trade in the mines and with miners are of neces sity essentially different from what they are with any and all other interests. To mi ne successfully, one of necessity sansf become a miner t to do this takes years of time, employed in the most labori ous and taxing manner conceivable and miners, ninety-nine of every hundred, are, morally, men-t-illy.nnd physically unfitted for any thing else. Mining as compared with funning is eminently a low. dirtv railing, degrading In its tendencies almost as full of false promise as the gamingtable men once fully within ila toils are well nigh be yond the pale of hope. Kach heavy advance, each great battle, each laborious siege, each season of privation and hardship endured by the miner, furnishes lis fearful mortality list : yet I doubt whetherthe same nnntjerof excited miners with ... mimoriiinarr eaanaltiea and free from restraint have escaped with o small a list of "killd, wounded and missing. II 1 was tann ing to day with the) knowledge I have of nulling, li. inrinetMnd results, and the necessity of go ing to the armyor the mines were to choose be tween, I should take the former without a mo menta hesitation.

Statesman : Yon will perceive that I havo changed mv place nf residence, by the heading of this fetter. I left the Dalle on Sunday; March V7th. and arrived at this town on Sunday, April 3d. I had rather a pleasant trip of it notwithstanding the weather wa somewhat stormy. I learn, since I arrived here, that the past winter has been one of unusual mildness, until within the lost two weeks, since which lime it has suowed and rained, alter nately. The supposition here is now that the .mountains are suflloiuntlv filled w4th snow to famish the rivers with water for the entire com ing Summer. This camp is undoubtedly one ol the best, if not the heat one, in the northern country j from the fact that there ia more water than elsewhere. I waa in Boise nnd Auburn, last seasou. and I am fully satisfied with what I have seen of tbii camp, that it ia the best camp of all oainps. The demaud for hand, to work in the dig gings, is proof of the fact. There is demand for on thousand men ncre, to work, r.very one who come in finds work readily, and at fair rates four or fire dollar per day ia the price paid for hands to mine. Many who are rushing off In Boise and Owyhee will he glad to retura to Canyon tn ret work. In (act, the road tn the above named place is on ihe Hue with Canyon City from Dalle, and it would be advisable' for all who are on the work to oomo hy way of Canyon, litis country ia not pros pected any. comparatively speaking. The road from Dalles to I hi place, ia one hundred and eighty mile, over a good a road ai can be wished for. both wagon road and pack trail. The mil)' trouble is, occasionally, the stealing of horse by the In .inns. It ia generally be lieved, however, that they are ichilt Indiam. It is highly important that the Goreruor, or some "other man.' fhould aend two or three companies uf soldiers np this way, for the pro tection of miuers and travelers generally. There i now a company ol K0 or 100 men oat in pursuit of Indian. I hope they will suc ceed in their undertaking. . The market of goods generally seem to be well supplied. The general cry n, more nanus to won ine minea, and ia fori to prospect Ihe country more thor oughly. There ia not enough to work what has already tins discovered, aud tt is til be Imped that the tide of immigration will turn this tray. I will nritu more auon. OWYHEE. TH K RAMI AM IHIEH. It has been ton much the custom in this coun try, iiiiinediutcly mi the discovery of gold pros pects iu any region, to rniso a great cry that would causu men in all parta of the country to leave their occupations and liantuu uff in search of fortunes. The consequence has been that much time hits been Wasted ami icores of men have been the vlctlmi of useless disappoint ment. It ii hut Justioo to say that those con cerned and interested iu the development nf the newly-discovered quart! mines nu the head waters of tho Santiam river, have used a coin metidahlo discretion in this respect ; nor is it onr purpnso to raise any excitement upon the subject, hut limply tn give pome of the facts iu connection with those mines, as we received them from one who ii well posted and well nnalified tn judgo of their merit. n.i. . ...... : .. .. .(. kr..u.L r 1 nu uiiiiea oiu Biuuiteu on uie norm i' era oi tho South Fork of the Santiam river, about f0 miles from the settlements. The reoent dis coveries of auriferous qanrtz are in the "Santi am Distrlot," between the North Fork of the South Fork and Canal Fork, a tributary of the samo. Each lode contains a large per oentage of diver, and it is thought this oro will pro dominate. A number of companies are al ready Incorporated and others are organizing ; the "Union," "Oregon," "Santiam," "Web- not," "Lebanon," "Willamette," und "Sauk- Eyc," in the Santiam District ; the "fcureka" in the Happy Camp District, and tho "Bnnca rin Mining uomnany" in a district not yet named.

Wo think it may be suloiy satu mat mere is no longer any doubt of tho existence i f rich mineral deposit in that region. Jt will require considerable time nnd a large amount of capi- tal to work and develop them, hut they will doubtless prove nf more lasting benefit lo the country than the rich plaoer digging! where fortutifs could be made tn a day witu tue pan or the rocker.

That we renew our failb in. and dovotiou lo. the Virginia and Kentucky r-eolntion of ir.W-9, and the ancient land- u:ark of Ihe Democracy, wuicii lor more man half oeutory carried our country safely and prosperously, under all cireflinstaocei, and In all eitiergeiicici. ...... , iJ. That are in favor of lh I uu.ii and the Conslilnlion a our patriot Ka!lrs made Iheiii, and lhat we are In favor nf nlbmiiig tbe revolted Slits' lo return to their alleg unta na iler that Constitution, with nil tho rights which t int sacred instrument secures tn them, lid. That while wu eniiduinii the notion nf those. States which have pi red themselves Iu renellloli nguitist tho (joveriiinent, He also oon .'."o mill denonnoe that usurpation of tyrnn uicai 'uthorUv which prohibits the return of those hi.. to tlie Uniuu, until they shall hnvu mado their (.''-institution conform, not to ihe will iu their respective peoplo, but to suit the anti-slavery view of President Lincoln and hi party, 4th. That wo are opposed to nil violation either of the Constitution, or nf the law en acted in aconnlunoe therewith ; and nppnred tn usurpation, tyranny, fraud, extravagance, and in favor of the rnaiiitaiuance inviolate, of every right oi every citizen. 5th. That the Constitution is tho supreme. and all controlling law which binds together the States in Union, and the leveronce of that cord, for the abolition of slavery is Inexpedient, unjustifiable, revolutionary nnd dangerous, and demand tho unqualified condemnation of all good men. tltli. That we would hail with joy a peace se cured upon the principles of tho Crittenden Compromise or npnn any honorable basis at the earliest practicable moment ; and we condemn all attempts to discourage and prevent an ami cable settlement nf our national difficulties as evincing unworthy partisan hate and ma ice, and oi dearly unpatriotic and disunion. 7tii, I Hat wo endorse the sentiment ol sen ator Dough that "this government wai made on a white basis for the benefit of white men;" that we endorse nnd accept that interpretation of the Constitution made hy the Supreme Court, ai entirely la accordance with the un broken precedent of every Administration down to the present, tn the effect that negroes are not citizens nf the United States. 8th. That the suspension of tho writ of habcai corput, the arrest of citizens without duo process of law, tlifl suppression nt tree speech and the freedom of the press, ii incon sistent with the principle uf free government, and is utterly condemned by the Democratic parly of this State. "tli. 1 hat we are oppofeu tn all secret po litical organizations as being subversive of our republican form of Government. And It Is further Retolved, By this Convention, that we are rny in favor of what the lute Abolition State Convention pretended in favor, namely: tho exemption of miners and mining claims from special taxation, and we will use our influence to continue such exemption. Mr. Uutou moved to strike out the 3d resolu tion and iuseit: Retolved, That this Union hoi not been dis solved, and that whenever the rebellion In any seceded State shall be put down and subdued, either by force of Federal arms ur by the vol untary vtibmissinn nf audi State to the author ity of the Constitution, then such State shall be restored to all its right and privilege as a State of thia Union under the Constitution nf noh Stato. including the right tn regulate, or der and control it! own domestic institutions according tn the Constitution and law nf such State, free from all congressional or exeoutivo control or dictation.
