For Ida Oregon Spectator.
EtfvtcaUsM, If. 4.
My dour friend, be watchful over tho lei,
urn time of your child. Lc not your eon
pass Ilia time wandering about the streets,
and connecting himself with the idle and
dissolute. Ono bad habit formed in the
Htrvct with 1 evil company haa a tendency
more iniuFioua to tha fnnrala than all that
can be thought of by tho combined eflbrta of
mo siay-at-hoinc scholars on the play ground
of the aohool. The old proverb ia strictly
true on thia point, that "an ounce of proven
tion ia worth a pound of cure." A I havo
heretofore etated that the influenco of the
mother ia unbounded, tol aay of the father
that when he has pioporfy restrained those
feeling In hia children which have a tendon
y to lead them into vioioua company, he
-will find a hapnv reward in loving, affection-
ie, ana connaentiai ctuiaron. WhatA a
pleasure it must be to the aced father aad
metkaf, a their bob or daughter, ia the omw
of Ufa having occasion to act upon their own
responsibility, calia on Iherii tor that advioe
whioh lliev were wont to hear in their minor!.
ty. Dohold a happy example of reverence
for age in the councils of the Aborigines oil
America.
8ay not that tho restraints are too severe,
that it is too confining to your child : how
much better that that child be kept in sub-
jpction for a few yoars, than to Itc allowed a
freedom of intercourse unbounded. Hring
him undor and keep him in subjection through
hia own moral fadings so far as you can,
and you enable him with an upright and
fcarlcs spirit to must temptation, and stand
forth on the side of duty through after lifo.
How much easier it is for any one to say
"I havo never dono sc, I am unwilling to
try what I havo no reason to think will oe
for my good ;" than to say that although I
havo dono it, I will not do it again. '
temptation onco yielded to is very difficult
10 resist at another time. My dear friend
you have been tried, you know the bad con
sequences of corrupt associations, you well
know that proverbial prase daily exemplified
in the experience of every individual, that,
"Evil communications corrupt good man
ncrs." Then preserve your children from
the peqUdoue ejects of strut eompamy. Se
lect tor them those wit lr whom they shall
sociate, with tho same care that you observe
in selecting acquaintances for your son or
daughter when about to enter the social cir.
clo in order to act for themselves. Bo
careful as in selecting ahusband for your
(laughter, or a witctor your son. Ho not a
dospot, but admonish, adviso and if necessa
ry command them in this duty. "A youth
Is known by tho company ho keeps," but if
no has not mo experience or ago to assist
him in the formation of his first acquaint
ances how many sore trials ho has to undor-
go before his discretion is mature enough to
cnaDie nun to distinguish between the truth
and falsity f friends. To whom will a du-
tiful ohild go sooner for advico and counsol
in this case, than to his parents, wiser than
whom he finds none amongst all his friends.
Then my dear friend seo well to your child's
associates, and fear not tho hardship of the
ottort. aour reward will bo lound in a du
tiful and afieotionato child, and a respects
bio and useful citizen hereafter.

Ms. Editor havo lately received several
letters from the United States, written about
the 37th September. 1848. and containing
some Items of intelligence, not hitherto known
ia Oregon. Mr. Charles Beat writes me, un
der tho above date, from Barry, Clay conn,
ty, and state of Missduri, that, a few weeks
before the adjournment or congress," our
friond, tho Hon. David R. Atchison, senator
from Mo., had been elected president of the
senate pro tern. This handsome eompliatsnt
will be fully appreciated by tho friends of
that High-minded and talented young sena
tor in Oregon. , Mr. B. also states that the
laws of the United States would be extended
over Oregon, so soon as congress should meet;
and that tho bill for that purpose had passed
congress at tho previous scsskm, but at so
lata an hour, that it was not signed by the
"proper officers." I presume 'my fries!

Ours is anoblo language, a beautiful lan
guage. I can tolerate a Germanism for

French phrase where a auro old J5rigish
word does as well, ought to bo hanged, drawn

Com plimmts. Soon after tho restoration
of Charles 2d, ho gavo audience to an envoy
from tho ompemr of Moroco. By dint of
consulting dictionaries and grammars, tho

competent knowledge of EngJUh. ami deliver

follows: "May it plcasoyour Majesty,

the same. In upper Missouri, the cavern
neat bad purchased great numbers-of oxen,
wagott, horses, and cattle, for the use of the
anny. Some 100 wagons had started from
Fort Leavenworth in one day, where there
were from SOOO to 3000 troops. Col. Alex
ander W. Doniphan of Liberty, Mo., had or
ganised a regiment of mounted volunteers,
whose services had been acceDted bv the go
vernment. It waa said that Judge Semple of
Illinois, would receive tho appointment of
governor or Oregon. 1 he Oregon regiment
of dragoons was about being raised, and
there were two companies of them then at
Jefferson Barracks. This regiment was to
be a splondid one, and to bo commanded by
P. F- Smith of Now Orleans. My friend
very truly exclaims, " how your hearts will
beat, when you see Col. Smith and his regi
ment unfurl the beautiful aUrs and stripes in
Oregon." These dragoons were to have led
the last spring for Oregon. A mail from
Santa Fe every two weeks was in full oper-
ation. It had been auite sicklv in the unner
ooMsties of Missouri during the summer of I
IBM. These are the principal items of in
(brmatioB of a public nature contained in my
friend's letter, and they are at your service.
