Europe vs. America.
"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.

The Oregon and Mexico Steamship Com

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

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.

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.

Miraculous Cure. 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.
