"We are permitted to extract the follow ing from a letter to a friend of the writer here. The impressions expressed, if made upon the shoal of travelers abroad who seem just now to be swarming across the Atlantic, would bring about a healthier tone of feeling concerning the people and institutions of Europe than seems to pre vail. The writer has visited every part of the United Statc3feand knows whereof he epeaks, and although his stay abroad was short, his conclusions from what he saw and heard are evidently the result of a iturcd mind and sound American heart : The lftt steamer from Liverpool brought vour friend home from foreign parts," and very happy am I at being again on my naal heath. I am too gratified that I can claim to be an American. I was all through England, and a small part of Scot land and France. I passed a week in Paris like a " rat in a strange garret." It was always a strong desire with me to see England to look at us ancient monu ments, its places of fame and especially its universities. I was at Oxford and Cimbri dare, and visited Shaksnears old house, Westminster Halls, &c, etc. Lou don is Philadelphia enlarged greatly, but reallv nnt in anvresnect improved. New York to-dav, in all the essential items of a grat city,' is ahead of London. In the raagmfleent character of its public and prit ate buildings, in its world-wide com merce, and in all that makes a great city, it seems to me that New York is without a rival, at least it has no superior in London. OXow as to my impressions: The English ui-ti reallv ooor and servile. The charac ter of the government, and the teachings of society make overbearing arrogance on one-fide, and servility on the other. I was greally .imprsssed on my return with the wide deference in the manner and bearing of all I saw. Caxdia, on long and varied history. Minas O Crete. Canuia has had a ruled there. Then came a succession of chiefs, who held changeful and precarious sway. A century before Christ; it was a republic, and nurtured the ineradicable love of lib erty, which lias survived all changes in the heart of the (.1 reeks. The great heart of America is with the Christians of Candia in their struggles of to-day. We have no interests to b? periled by the sundering of chains. What care wi andj affrighted dyms! for shaking thrones The O rights as are supposed the assumed necessities of jrovcrn; principle which sanctifies manifold O ies : me more 01 UbertvQ the mightier our ioy. It is at once our mission and our ambition to sec civilization set on a new basis the inalien able rights of man. The civilizations of Europe Romish, Protestant, and Mahom medan are all erected on the necessities of government. Men are to be governed and are to be clo tiled with so manv and such to harmonize with merit. It is a oppression and crushes the soul 3 of men. America, with a sublime faith in God and humanity, rears her civilization on the di vine announcement : "Oxe is your Master, CHRIST : and all yc are brethren.''' Cov- efrn of men, not the rights of meat. The difference u Wherever a people struggles to assert in alienable rights, monarchy looks on with distrust and fear ; but America instinct ively espouses the cause of the oppressed. CandkVxleserves our moral aid ; perhaps more than that. The triumph of that brave people would be worth more to ns Cthan all the diplomatic platitudes of courtesy that bedizened courtiers have joined since the foundation of the world. For Silica, 2Yevr Arclianjrcl and Vic toria. The Oregon and Mexico Steamship Com pany will dispatch the splendid steamer Oriflamme, Capt. Francis Connor, as above, on June 1st, from Fulsom street wharf, San Francisco. This is a striking commentary upon American enterprise. No sooner does the telegraph announce that the treaty giving us this territory has been adopted than commerce stretches out her eager arm'', and a steam line is projected to a part of the vorld that two weeks before was re garded as a terra incognita. How forcibly this fact illustrates the vivifying influences of our national institutions, and the faith of our people in them. Before anything was known of the cession, says the San Francisco Times, our merchants would have thought as quickly of starting a line of steamers to the island of Spitzbergen or the Antarctic Continent as to Russian America. But no sooner is it known that this territory is to form part of the Union than all the commercial values and possi bilities connected with it are changed, and we look to see towns grow and a lucrative trade arise in a country which before was expected to remain a howling wilderness for centuries to come. Had California re mained in possession of Mexico it would have now been what it was thirty years ago ; its immense capabilities undreamed of ; known only to commerce by the few hides it annuall' supplied ; and San Fran cisco would still be the little village of a dozen adobe huts. And the change that was worked here a3 soon as California be came a part of the Union will now take place in tho territory which forms the latest addition to tho national domain. Whatever there exists of natural wealth will be dragged to light and turned to ac count by the daring enterprise and restless energy which follows wherever our flag is planted. Russian America will grow fast er and grow greater than British Columbia so long as that country remains an Eng lish colony, which, however, is not likely to be a great while, as its natural gravita tion towards the Union must now be greatly increased. That this new line will prove a success there can be no doubt. Already sufficient is known of the resources of our new tor ritory to justify anticipations of a valuable trade, and the keen-sighted explorers who wm soon visit it, wm quickly discover otuers now little dreamed of. One effect of steam communication with the far north western coast will be to greatly stimulate the fishing business, which is already at trading considerable attention. Rendez vousing at New Archangel, or at some town yet to be founded, the fishing vessels may send their cargoes to San Francisco by steamer, and be thus enabled to make many more trips. The northern whaling fleet will also derive great advantage from this line of steamers, and will furnish it with much valuable business, and under the new stimulus a trade with the North ern tribes will soon grow up, which in ex tent and value will make the previous op orations of the great fur companies appear OREGO.V jonvmont accommodates ltseii to the riguts govern- men to world-wide. insignificant. Victor Salt Works. These works, sit uate in the vicinity of St. Helen, began operations on Monday last. The capacity of the Works will admit of the manufacture of 4,000 lbs of salt per da'. The Company having this matter in charge have expend ed about $20,000, but they have established the fact that there is not more than one place in the world that can produce an article of salt equalling their manufacture, hence the venture was a most successful one. It is a matter of congratulation for all Oregonians. O Q Stfrt. T. tt.j One nf nnv S:in 1VfirfMf r exchanges a little given to John Bull ism states that steel rails are of English origin. According to our understanding, and the facts, the American Iron and Steel Association were the first to produce these new rails. At a meeting of the Associa tion held in Chicago, on Thursday, May 23th, IStio, pursuant to adjournment Eber O B Ward 6f Detroit, President of the As sociation, remarked that, before commenc ihg'businessgit might be interesting to the members of the Association to be informed that a steel rail had been rolled at the Chicago rolling mills on the previous day. At tiie close of the proceedings a speci men of steel rail made at the Chicago Union rolling mills, by the pneumatic process, and manufactured from raw pig iron in twentyrniinutes, was exhibited, and this was the first steel rail made, after the success of the process was established. Japanese Treaties. The Towers which have treaties with Japan are the United States, England, France. Holland, Prussia, Portugal, Switzerland, Belgium, Russia, Ttaly, and Denmark. The brother of Stotsbashi, a young man of twenty-one years, has gone to Paris, accompaied by a Commission, and will spend some throe or four months in France, and afterward visit other European countries. He is said to be as sharp as a Yankee, liberal in his views, and as cosmopolitan as a Par isian. It is not likely to make much for the interest of the balance of the Treaty Powers that French foresight and courtesy have captured an influence so conspicuous in the politics of Japan as this shrewd and progressive young noble. For Waijla Walla. Our friend Julius N. C.

The western portion of Benton county. including Yaquina Bay, will be surveyed soon by Mr. George Mercer. The celebrated horse CJburg is dead. His successor will be one of the same stock, named Edmund Burke. A lodge of Good Templars has been in stituted at Oswego in this county, lae lodge has christened Pearl. Every dollar of the slock in Rogue River Woolen Manufacturing Company has been taken. The new diggings in Jackson county are rich. Further prosperity reveals the fact that they are more extensive.

Tillamook and the Nehalem contain a great coal basin that will be of incalcula ble benefit to that portion of the country some dav. Gen. S. Coffin has liberally offered the city of Portland right of way for Morrison street to the west limit of the cit. It is hoped others will follow his example. A man named Andrew Christien, com mitted suicide at his cabin five miles west of Portland, sometime between the 13th and 20lh. A three story brick hotel will be erected at Albany the coming summer. The Journal says that fifty houses are now go ing up m that town. The Courier learns that the eccentric and erratie Nazro Smith died in Benton county, lately.

Tillamook county contains about six hundred square miles bounded on the east, north and south, by the Coast range and its spurs and west by the Pacific ocean. Nearly every steamer from Wallula brings to the Umatilla merchants and pro duce traders a supply of Walla Walla flour, while that manufactured at La Grande supplies the entire Grand Ronde Valley and surrounding country. A few days since, in the vicinity of Brownsville, says the Journal, a party of children and older persons were riding in a cart, which capsized, one of the wheels falling on the head of a little boy named Simmons, killing him instantly. Rev. Benj. Todd has been discoursing the Portland people upon spiritual doc trines for several days and evenings.

The Courier says : " We noticed lately a pile of regular, old fashioned home-spun flannel, double width, spun and wove in the family of Mr. Yoeoin, residing near Lafayette, and nicely striped so as to adapt it for ladies' and children's Wear. The sight of this evidence of home skill and home industry, revived afresh, a rec ollection of times past, when woman never seemed so lovely as when clad in the products of her own industry. This flannel, though not so smooth of surface prior to being worn, is far superior to the best eastern flannels, and would therefore be cheaper to the consumer at three times the cost of the latter. The larmer s para dise is home presided over by geniuses like Mrs. and tne .Misses i . Sneaking of Mail service in Eastern Oregon, the Oreaonian says: "It usually takes about one week for the mail to go from Umatilla to La Grande, a distance, by a direct route, of not more than one hundred miles. I rom numerous com plaints which have come to us from Union and Baker counties, we are made aware that our pauer is about two weeks in reaching that, nart of the State.

Dr. William Healey Dear Sir : I feel it but a duty to inform 3 0U and the public what a miracu lous effect your Royal Balsam had on my wife. She had been affected with a severe cough for several weeks, which had assumed a dangerous feature, for which many physi cians have been trying without any material benefit, and all the remedies failed to gire her any relief. Without relief was got, I feared for the worst, in her present condi tion. The coKgh appeared to be worse at night, she could get uo rest when Mr. Ran dall, of this place, advised me to try your Royal Balsam; all other remedies having failed, I concluded to try it, and I purchased two bottles. Strange to say, by the time I gave her three spoonsful of "the Balsam she got relief, and slept, a thing she had not done for three nights previous. By the time she had taken one bottle the cough was checked. Its effect was truly miraculoiw?, aa tho cute was effectual ; hence, I have no hesitation in recommending the Royal Balsam to all who are ahucted and it appears astonishing to me that medicine of such great merit, and I might say magical effect, is not more m use. xiy canuia opinion is : it persons use it once they never will be without it in the nouse. 11. cociikax.
