5/.SST2S. A friend requests us to give place to the following linos, written by I>. Jb, while on a visit to the scenes of his childhood : TO LEWISTOWN. Home of my birth! I love thee still, Tho long I've wandered from thee. Thy Creek, thy Mountain, and the Bill That winds along above thee. I love to wander round and see The lovely haunts, where, when a boy, I sported o'er with merry glee, Midst pleasure that knew no alloj'. I love to think of friends who shared Those pleasing childish sports with me, When troubled-sorrow— naught had dared To cross our path to spoil our glee. But time has changed that lively scene. And silvered o'er our heads with gray- But still I can't forget the green Called Eden, where we used to play. Far, far, I've roamed since first I left The Juniata's lovely stream, AN here every turn, and nook, and cleft I've known—but now 'tis like a dream. Tis strange—how memory clings to home, To scenes and things of childhood's hour; To friends who o'er tho world may roam, Or those within their natal bower. And still among tho friends and things I've lost and found since far away : There's nothing missing like the spring, That through tho gun barrel forced its way. And now, 'Old Town,' a long farewell, ■ . . . ." ' I no er may visit you again, But on thee memory still shall dwell, •So long as you and friends remain, littler l'rom Oregon. Extract of a letter front James A. Kelly, Esq., lo a friend in Lnrisloicn. dated OREGON Cm*. June sth, 1852. A on ask me to give you my opinions of the advantages, if any, which Oregon possesses over Pennsylvania to one in your circum stances of life. It is, with me, always a matter of delicacy to use inducements to persuade any < no to emigrate here, simply for the reason that all men d< not see things in the same light, and it is possible that it I should induce any one to come hither to live, such person might not be as well satisfied with the country as 1 am. Still lam quite willing to express my own opinions, and give any information when it is asked of me. This 1 shall endeavor to do candidly. It is certainly true that a man can live in this country with much less labor than in Penn sylvania. Tak.j for instance the life of a farmer in t 'regoii compared with that of one in Mitflin county, lb-re the soil is equally as good as that of Kisharo piilias Valley for the raising of all kinds of grain except Indian corn. .Nn Oregon fanner does not, by any means, bestow as much labor by ploughing and harrowing the ground in which he sows his wheat, and yet on an average 1 think, (from all I can learn from men of undoubted vera' ity ) tlicr- is no doubt but that an acre of land here will yi'dd more bushels of wheat than one in the Kishacoquillas Valley, and better grain too. This i< saying a great deal. 1 know, but I b'g you will allow nie t > sav it is true. The grain here always ripens during the diy season, and is never injured by rust or mildew. The farmer here can harvest bis grain at his leisure, as no rains fall until S qit. mber, and most g nerailv not before November. Aerain a fa-nier in Oregon, if he be indolent, as is too often tie case, can let bis land from which he has reaped a crop of wheat, remain without ploughing, and he will the next year have a fair, average crop, that is self sown, or as they call it here, a volunteer crop. This, 1 admit, is not the pro per manner to farm, but it is too often done, nevertheless. Here also a fanner is freed from all care of providing food for his cattle in the winter season. Snow seldom falls more than six inches deep, and then it does not remain on the ground but a day or two at a time, and the farmer turns his cattle upon his fields or the plains, where they graze throughout tie* year. Since the discovery of the gold mines in California, in 1848, market produce of all kinds in Oregon has commanded extravagant prices, and even now, when there is stability in our markets, they are such that a farmer who attends to bis business, cannot fail to be come rich in a few years. Xur is there any likelihood that there will ever be a want of a market, for all our farmers can raise and at higher prices than in any of the Atlantic States. There are still vast tracts of land in Oregon, both prairie and wood land, and of excellent quality, that are yet unclaimed, it is true, much of this land is remote from the settlements, and of course will be occu pied only as the settlements are extended. But I mention this to let you know that you need have no apprehensions of being unable to obtain a farm in ease it i your desire to come here. I cannot say whether you could profitably follow your trade of cabinet making or not, but I am inclined to believe that you could follow some other pursuit that would bo more lucrative. Nearly all our household furni ture is brought from the States via (.'ape Horn, and can be brought cheaper than it can be manufactured here, owing to the high price of labor, and yet, perhaps, it would be a profitable business to mend furniture when it becomes broken. Of this, however, vou could judge best when you come here. You may lie well assured that your trade will nut be useless, even in house building and finish ing, and I think I might safely say that you wJuld make from 85 to 8* per day, either at vour trade of cabinet making, or at carpenter ing. The ordinary wages of day laborers is now about $3 and board, and for laborers bv the month on farms, from 860 to S80 per month and board. The country is very healthy, far more so than in Lewistown or any place along the Ju niata. It is true, we have some cases of fe ver and ague along the low lands of the Co lumbia and Willamette rivers, but they are mild in form and readily yield to medical treatment. We have a great many Indians here, but you need be under no fear from thorn. They are peaceable and no more to be dreaded than so many sheep, and in a few years they will till be gone, as they are fast dying off. Upon the whole, I am of opinion that you could decidedly better your condition in lilt) by coming to Oregon and making it a perma nent home. By industry I think you cannot fail to do well. Many persons who have gone from here back to the States, have again re turned here, unable to content themselves with a life in the older States. You may and undoubtedly will be somewhat homesick for the tirst ye ror two. At least I have no doubt your lady will be, as I find from obser vation and conversation with women, that they at first pine more for a return to a !j?, r ? lcr . nie j' ian Jo the generality of men. I Ins feeling is very natural, and indeed it could hardly be expected that one, particu larly a lady, should give up the society of; friends and acquaintances, renounce the comforts of a former home, and settle down in a sparsely populated country among stran gers, without now and then giving a sigh or a j wish to be again back to the homo that was left behind. But I have as little doubt that if you live here three years, you and your wife would far prefer it to Pennsylvania. ; Recollect I am only giving you my own opin- j ion, not my advice about coming. Of this ! you must be your own judge. As <o giving advice about the routes to Ore gon, I scarcely know what to say. 1 may say, i however, that you should confine yourself to J one of two routes, either byway of Panama, ! or across the plains. The former is the most 1 speedy and the least fatigue attending it, but it is the most unhealthy. lam not prepared I to say what would likely be the cost of coming i that way, but I think if you would call on Mrs. Hopper, of Lewistown,. she could likely give you that information, as no doubt her husband has written to her about the expenses ' of that route. The journey across the plains, of course, is attended with no little labor or fatigue, and usually occupies from April to August, Sep tember or October. On an average it may be said to take four or four and a half months. With good mules it may be performed in tiiree. This route has the advantage over others in this, that it costs but very little. The oxen or mules and wagons used in cross ing are worth more here (unless worn out) than you pay for them in the States, anil there is very little other expense besides these and provisions on the way. This route is undoubtedly healthy, and the danger from Indians is nothing, if parties do not become careless and separate from each other. And I have no doubt but that troops will be sta tioned along the route by the government in order to protect the emigrants. lam inclined to believe, upon the whole, that for a family like you have, this would be the best route. It you conclude to come, and after YOU have determined upon the route, if you will write to me, I will endeavor to collect information relating to minor matters in traveling that may he useful to you, and shall take great pleasure in communicating it to you. Since writing the above, I went into a re tad merchant's store, next door to my office, and requested him to give me the average prices of farm products as they have ranged for the last year. 1 will give them below. 1 will observe that this man is a dealer like your merchants in Lewistown, buying the produce id' farms and paying either in rash or goods; and I would further state that prices within the last year are lower than they have been for years before, and 1 think they will remain fur some years at about what they now are. Wheat ought to lie higher, and would no doubt be so it we had eompeti- tion among tho manufacturers of flour as you have in Pennsylvania. Flour sells here at from 88 to 812 per bid. now, and yet wheat is only one dollar per bushel. Many of our tanners refuse to sow wheat, simply because they cannot get more than $1 to 81,50 per bushel. Th ■ prices are as follows: Wheat 81 a 81,26 per bushel: oats 50 to 75 cents per bushel; potatoes 50 to >1 per bushel; cows 840 to 850: Indian ponies or horses S4O to 860; American horses 8100 to 8150 ; Amer ican mares (breeding) 8l<)0 to 8200; oxen 800 to 8125 per yoke : live hogs from 8 to 11 cents per lb.; eggs 2o to .50 cents per dozen ; chickens from 50 to 75 cuts a piece ; butter from go to 624 cents pe. ib. 1 beli ve the.-.' prices are under rather than over, as 1 have taken care to give you the lowest estimate. These prices are those of Oregon city. About one hundred or one hundred and fifty miles south of this they are higher, owing to the vicinity of the gold mines.

ENGLAND.—The general elections through out the kingdom were not quite concluded when the 1 lermann left. Enough was known, however, of the general result, to render it certain that the Earl of Derby's Administra tion was not able to command a working ma jority in the Commons. The indications were that the Government would have but a very short tenure of power. The I'eel party, headed by Sir James Gra ham, would most undoubtedly join the ranks of the liberal party, and an attempt to impose a tax on food would be most successfully re sisted in the new Parliament. The Queen, Prince Albert and the Court had embarked for a shortoruise. It isthought that they may stop at Cork. I ITKLA.NO — Election Riots. —A letter from Downpatrick gives tire particulars of some riots consequent upon the county election now in progress there. FRANCE.—The Paris Moniteur publishes the most fulsome telegraphic despatches from the various points along the route passed by the President, stating that he was everywhere received with the most joyous and enthusias tic acclamations, reproducing the same stylo of high-sounding phrases with which the of ficial organ of the French Government was formerly accustomed to chronicle the royal progresses of Charles X. and Louis Philippe, not iong before their fall. The President vis ited Strasburg on the 18th ult., where extra ordinary fetes and illuminations were pre pared. and a monster review and sham tight took place. If Louis Napoleon was really Emperor, no greater state magnificence could be adopted to give eclat to his progress through the de partments. The branch railroad connecting Hanover, Pennsylvania, with Baltimore, was opened for trade and travel on Wednesday. The Northumberland Bridge, on the Sunbn ry side of the North Branch, was blown down last week. The bridge was nearly new, hav ing been rebuilt but a few years since. ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC WONDER!

PRIVATE SALE. fJMIE undersigned will offer for sale his well L known and desirable business stand, situated on Valley street, Lewistown, known as the " LEWISTOWN POTTERY." The advantages this stand lias in location, the facilities it affords for a convenient arid ready ; market for its wares, together with its very ex te.nsive patronage, renders it one of the most desirable in the country. The WARES manufactured at this establish ment are far superior to any oilier in the six counties, and have a reputation that will ever se cure the patronage of the public, from the fact of the material being inexhaustible, and con nected with the concern by a lease of a number of years. The business of Potting has been carried on successfully at this stand by myself and father for over 30 years, which is of itself sufficient ad vertisement to prove its advantages as a busi ness stand. The PERSONAL PROPERTY in connection with the concern, w ill also be sold, if purchasers desire it. For further information, apply to the under signed on the premises, or bv mail to Lewistown P. O.
