It is a subject of regret to us, thst our destitute situation ahould be realized to a much greater extent in the Valley than among ua. True it is, we hate not over) thing we might with but at the same time, there is not an individu al among us, who had not rather go months In hit present situation, if neces sary, than to be guilty of taking the gen oroaity of your citiien to Its full extent, more especially the unfortunato Immi grants of last year, who hare Buffered so severely in both person and property. The widows and orphans, of whom you have bo affectionately spoken, will please accept our thanks, and may they e'er long have the satisfaction of knowing that their wrongs havo been amply avenged, and their country forever freed from tho horror of Indian warfare. Not having seen Capt. Maxon'a call on the young ladies, we are perhaps not qualified to do them justice. Their res- xnse comes to us almost in the shape of flattery. Yet, when wo know the back wardness of many young men, in turn ir.g out in defence of their country, and its most sacred rights, we are compelled to admit the propriety of such an expression; yet, wo feci that rrar little service to our country has not been auch aa should enti tloustoanypreemincnceoterlhwho man liiatsn ttstiai Isiml lea Iuk tialloir r. a may have remained in the valley, for we feel that wc havo done nothing more than our duly, end consequently desert e no higher consideration in your estimation, than we were entitled to before we left tho soclsl circle.

To give up the whole of your attention to tho person who addresae hiniMirto you I aomelimca a lieavy task; hut il is one which we mutt pay for the privilege of edolal life, ami an carlv prao. lice will render il almost an involuntary act of good breeding; whilst consideration for other will give this little aacrifico a morit and a charm of which tbe lowest proonirChriitianfcelingcan never be de vidd. To listen well, is to make an uncon clou advancement in tho power of con verting. In listening, wo perceive in what tho interest, In what tho failure of other consist. We become, too, aware of our defioieociee, without having 'them taught through the medium of humiliation. We find ouratlve often more bznoraat than we sort of topic which please, to form a style of our own. Tlie 'art of conversation, I an unpleasant phrase-- Tlie power of coo versing well is least agreeable when it as sumes the character of an art. In listen ing, a well-bred gentlewoman will sympa thise with the speaker; or If needs be, dif fer as gently. Much character is shown In tbe art of listening. Some people ap pear to be In a violent hurry whilst anoth er speaks ; they hasten on the person who addresses them, a one would hasten on a horse, with 'Yes, yes. Very good. Ah!' Others ait on the full stare, eyes fixed aa though of an owl,upon the speaker. From others, a loud and long laugh is, at iolort als produced, and all tlie company turns round tu sec what was the cause of tho merriment.

The baety ob- rver is led to nrouounoe tbe scheme vis ionary and impracticable. Tbe neceaal ty however, or more speedy mean of com munication between Uregoo and toe uni ted Statee having drawn tbe publio atten tion to this subject, we may confidently hope the day la not far distant when tbia grand scheme will be accomplished. Several "plane hare alreadjr keesj pro posed to accomplish the work. Tbe first proposal, In tbe form of a memorial to Con gress, was made by M r. Carver of St. Lou is, who asks of the government credit fin 8,000,000 acre of the publio lands be. tween tho Mississippi and Misxiuri River, which he is to sell to enable him to build the road the land to be paid for by tbe stock of the mad when completed. The second proposal waa mala to Congre in a similar fom by Mr. Whitney of New York, who asks for the land bordering on tho road, 00 miles wide, extending from Lake Michigan to the Pacific. Ocean, mak ing a farm of 03,100,000 acre ; so much of thit tract of land as misht be neceaaa ry, to be sold to pay for the construction of the road, the remainaer.to oeiong tp ine memorialist. These proposition having ucited no attention in Conarese, a third. and much the most sensible of all, was submitted to Congress hi Deo. 1840 by Mr. George Wilkes. The memorial of Mr. Wilkes, accompanied by a neatly executed map, and an inquiry into the practicabil- SSSnTSSSEilSSSi !- .aa a. lion. it is n9w upon our taote, and we will endcatoT to convey his calculations and arguments to our readers in aa lew word a possible. We believe our read- era will not regard the project aa Impossible after a careful perusal of Us calculations and arguments in favor of the underta klmr. The navigable distance from New York to the mouth of the Columbia River. Is. by the route around Cape Horn, almost sixteen thousand miles. Across the continent tlie distance ia leas than four thousand. Hero we have Iho enormous savlug of over twelve thousand miles. The natural ef fect of auch a communication would be thn rapid settlement of Oregon agd Indeed the filling up of all the north weat posses. slons by hardy settlors. The road a it progressed would be continually employed up to the farthest point of Its completion by these emigrants, and answering the mar ket of iheir wants, an Internal trade would follow, that would go very far toward sustaining the current expenses of atten. dance and repairs. When carried through It directnesa and that accuraoy of dura lion ao vital to successful commercial en terprJcti would make it prefered by the whole world before any olhor avenue. The breadth of Iho continent, along the parallel of latitude which strikes N. York and the South Pass in the Rooky Moun tains, has been ascertained to be about 8700 miles. From the Atlantlo Ocean lo the Missouri River there is already a con. tlnuous line of railroad and (team boat communication. The two thousand milea beyond, la divided Into two section of a thouaand mile each. Ona. atari from the Missouri aad apreada itaalf out to tlte baslsoflhe Rock v Mountains. The other drollnei from that ridge to the shore of thePaoUk. TbebigaesieeisHtelWaptw. lion of the route ia at tbe Paaa ia its centre. This ia 7400 lcet above tbe level of tbe tea. The starting point on the Missouri River, however, is almost 3000 feet above the same level, which leavee but a rise of MM feet, or five and a half lost to Use mile, to overcome. To greater part of thia ascant varies from two and a hair to nine feet lo tbe mile. Only eighteen milee ha a rise of forty-two ftet to the mil; and something more than two hundred has bat from aiztetn to seventeen feet lo the mile. The remainder Is almost an actual, level a amooth unbroken plain, leading gradu ally to tbe culmination at tbe Pass. with. out any difference between the true and ap parent level, and presenting greater tacit, itie for the construction of a railroad thaa Is offirred by the seme asteat of any other portion of the globe. TtrpitotsaUUty of tbe route betweee tbe dividing ridgasaad the mouth of tbe Columbia, stands attested by every trave ler from Oregon. A new line baa lately been discovered which t reoommensfad aa muoh superior. This starts from Fort Hall on this side of tbe Rocky Mountains, and takioaT a aouibward couree dip Into California, making a circuit of 890 milea to Tlamath Lake, then north through the vat Ha of Rogue, Umpqua and the Willamette to the navigablo water of Columbia Riv er. Tbe average cost per mile of tbe rail, road in the Coiled Slate is estimated by Col. Abert of tho topographical bureau at Wathinston at 4330,000 per mile. Allow. ing tbe distance west of the Missouri to be 1090, tbe aggregate coat would be , 000,000. This euro, may aeeoi immense, but it will bo remembered that 20.0CO milea of railway were firoposed to the Brit, ish Parliament In 1846, on which the pre. liminary feea of registration alone were 75.000.000. The estimated coat of the entire road is but little more than one half larger than the cost to tbe city of New York or the uroton Aqueduct. Mr. Wilkes reoommead that the time allowed for iti completion be limiud to five year, and that aa many aseo be employed upon the work aa it Is possible'to obtain, aa the sooner the work la completed, the bet. ter It will be for every lotereet concerned. Tbe largest number ia the best, aa it vrould furnish employ meat to all tbe lancuiahlac labor of the great dtiee: and force by the gradual prog roe of the road, nlationlnto OreesUsd California.

NotuHn and obedience to the laws would be seturely guaranteed by their interest in the eoil. & Mr. W. recommend that it be a nation al undertaking, because the Immense rev enue arising out of it would, in the hand of a company, create a monopoly liable to the most dangeroua abuses. Hear what he say respecting the result of thia mighty unoenaaing : "The nraetical oontbrull v which the rail road will confer upon our PaclAo front will ensure u the pre-emption aad command of all the market of Ada aad bar Islands. Under thia impulse, our cotton and other taotoriee would increase anew s our eaten ding agricultural operation would widen to the weat till they waved their harvest o er and o er tne land, and together Man ufactures and agriculture would distribute their innumerable products along the wes tern coast and diffusa Ihem amons the la- lands of the ocean. Tbe few grains and other stores which have heretofore been a ble to endure the trying passages through burning and through frigid nones, will then escape the equator altogether, and after adding to their list the whole catalogue oi nature's bounties, carry mem directly ano vritnout pause or peril to regions con tatnlns sis hundred million! of consumers. With corresponding outlet to the east and west, our country win preaent the specta cle ofan enormous granary pouring Its a. bundant iasues upon either ocean, to sup. ply the want or tne immense popula tion w hlch face them from both aide of the eastern hemisphere. On the) other hand Asia and Polynesia would respond by an increased consumption, and in exchange lor our cotton, our Hour, our corn, our to bacco, our pork, our butter, it our manu factures, would send us back their teas, their silks, their cploes, and their gold. Now the balanee of the eastern trade is heavily against us, and China alone annu. ally absorba Ave millions of our specie up on those of her goods for whioh aba will not Ibke our too expensive products in ex. change. With however, a direct avenue and a short and cheap approach, wa shall stop the injurious drain and turn the ad vantage toourselves."
