This i rather a novel ighlULone whohas tiTeil all hii lire in a latitude law north, by several degrees , but more frigid and destructive ; where, at thit season of the year, we were accus tomed to tee vegetation and the foliage in the "tear and yellow leaf." " It is now the tMih day of October, and there has not been a frost sufficiently severe to kill the green leave of the trees, or even the most leader pleats. This will give the Mks at a distance tome idea of the delightful climate we enjoy, on the Pacific. It li true we are shut out, in a great measure from the teeraf; but nothing daunted or weighed down by this, our people are cheered with the hope, thtt wc wilt hav a teerM of our own, or that the country will be t world unto itself. Wedo not mean, however, in the Stmtk Carolina ncceMtlion of the term Orecon I j. destined to be the great germ of the Pa. eMo, wbere, aTno distant day the greet , interests of the Pscific must concentrate. California has led off in this matter ; the excitement was kept up by misreprcscn. ution ; a reaction has taken plscc and the tottering fabric ia fist sinking into in significance. Oregon requires no such meant to keen her afloat. The noble riv. ersof limnid waterthat course the mien, ' or the rich vtllies that lie on either side the heavy forests of timber of the finest growth and the mild and healthy itmos phcre that ever prevails, ill conspire to render it one of the nwt delightful coun. tries on the globe, It only requires to be seen to he appreciated. The icorn, and grass covered hills of the country above, and the thick 'matted growth of bottom grm below, relieves the fsrmers of ill nc. ceuity in prepiring provender for their stock during winter. Tboippcarinco of the country at this time, rcmiSsU us more of the approach of spring, thin the idveot of winter. Sua is the nature of the climate, we ire told, thtt grass continues to grow all winter. In in agricultural point of view, (we were raised on a farm ourtelf ) Oregon has not, we verily believe, its equal in North America. Not oaly are the prices of stock aad produoe immensely high, but the st ywav tor the smallest imount or as hart, awarded to the laborer, of W hav ever lived in. We do not wish to be understood aa favoring, in the least, a diminution of labor on the part of our producers ; that seems too well impressed already but there Is no coun. try where libor is so much respected. Aristocracy has no abiding place in the territory. From the highest to tho lowest, tho most exalted and the humble, all have tkeir influence. In other words, tl,o great democratic principle governs our every wslkand conversation.
