From Oregon*
The Legislature of Oregon met and was organ
iced on the 2d of December. Dr. Ralph Wilson
was-elected Speaker of the House, and W. W.
‘Buek. Chsirmen of the Council.
1 The Governor’s Message was delivered the same
day. He recommends an immediate organization
of the militia ; the establishment of roads through
out the territory; opening roads and establishing
trading pests for the relief of the overland immi
grants; attention to the subject of education; the
early location of a seat of government, and vari*
ous other measures of local interest. Thedocu*
mentpossesses the unusual merit in messages, of
brevity. The newly appointed Governor concludes
as follows: :r"
"al'congratulate-you upon the safe deliverance
of our glorious Union from the dangers which
appeared la'ely to surroood it The admission of
cAfomia into .the Union,-the establishment of
Territorial Governments for Utah and New Mex
ico, and the proposition to settle the Texas bound
ary question, which I have no doubt will be ac
cepted by that State, has scattered to the winds
the'oft repeated declaration of monarchists ‘that

and ia-a timely rebuke to fanaticism both North!
and South.” i

iyn 0 copper and Iron mines and Plahsr*
laa of Labo Superior.
Wo leant from u statement in the Detroit Free
Press, that the amount of copper brought from the
mines of Lake Superior in 1849, was eleven hun
dred and fourteen tone. The amount chipped in
1860 exceeded four thousand tons, and that to be
shipped daring the present year will be sufficient
to snpply the whole consumption of copper in the
j Doited States, which is a little over six thousand
tons.
Tbs amount of ora which had.been raised od
the shores of Lake Soperior up -to December,
1849, exceeded thirty-seven thousand tons,. This
ora will, in the opinion of competent judges,
average twenty per cent, of pure metal, so that
even this amount, if reduced and taken to market,
would this very year supply the United States.—
The copper ore from the mines in Cornwall, in
Englard, for thirty years past, has yielded but
about eight per cent, of pure metal.
There art now, including the two iron compas
nies ori Carp River in the vicinity of the cele
brated iron mountains, twenty-fonr.organized com
panies in active operation. Their mines have
been purchased of the government, and they em
ploy at this time eight hundred and thirty men.—-
The iron companies referred to are prepared to
melt and ship the coming season twenty-seven
hundred tons of pig iron. Much is said of the
superior quality of this new product: of Michi
gan, in remarkable malleability peculiarly adapt
ing it for boiler iron, wire and machinery, and
even in its crude state, owing to this fact, it readi
ly commands the highest market price in Pitts
burgh.
The Fisheries of Lake Superior were established
as long ago os the year 1830, by a company of
enterprising adventurers, and the business was
vigorously prosecuted up to and daring the year i
1840, when, owing to the enormous expense of
transportation and re-shipment at the Falls of
Sault Ste Marie, the enterprise, so far as ashing
above the falls was concerned, was reluctantly
abandoned. :The product of the Fisheries in
1840, the year they were abandoned, was ten
thousand barrels. .
”■ Complete the canal around the falls and it is
estimated that from fifty-thousand to seventy-five
thousand barrels will be annually sent to market,
and all'the supplies; both, for the subsistence of
men employed and for picking and preparing the
fish, will be drawn from the overflowing granar
ies and well stocked, warehouses of the lower
peninsula, where every article required in ex
change for the products of Lake Superior can oe
found m the most luxuriant abundance.

CORaEIfOnDENOEOV THE HOHHIIIO .PO.ST.J
NUMBER XX
Hibbisbubg, February 8, 1851.
Having jast arrived from tbe city of “ Brother
ly Love,” after an absence of several days, I cannot
be presumed to have a - very intimate .knowledge
of what has 1 been transacted by the “assembled
wisdom” of the Keystone State during that time.
A subject of scarcely less general import, and I
am certain of as much real interest to a very
large number of your readers, shall, therefore, oc
cupy a large portion of thiß epistle. , .
Who that , has had occasion to visit Philadelphia
and remain there any length of time has not felt the
want of some good Hotel, where hiscomfort and
convenience were, matters of .primary considera
tion with the Host. I fancy I hear your readers
responding, I—l—l, and it is for the special infor
mation of such that I purpose saying a word in
regard to McKibben’s Merchant’s Hotel, in North
4th street. Within the past ten.years 1 have had
frequent opportunities of testing the merits of
moat of the principal Hotels in Philadelphia, and
I deem it no disparagement to any of them to say
that in all the elements which goto make up a
first rate Hotel, the “Merchant’s” is decidedly
ahead This is not merely an individual opinion-
It is a point conceded by all who have ever made
it their tarrying place while in the city, and the
very best evidence that it is rapidly gaining in
public favor, is the fact that even in the dullest
[seasons it is largely patronized. The “Merch
ant’s Hotel” has a special claim upon the citizens
of Pittsburgh, snd of the Western counties. The
proprietors, Messrs. McKibben, ore Western men,
i and are, I presume, favorably known to ail of your
readers. lam actuated m writing this by a feel
ing of personal regard for the gentlemanly propri
etors, who have ever made their house as pleasant
as my own home to me.
The celebrated Wethenll divorce case is again
before the committee on ■ divorces, where it is to
be hoped it will meet with such favor as it richly
deserves A more infamous outrage upon the
i community was never attempted to be perpetrated
through the action of the Legislature. I say it is
an outrage upon the community, for every man
and woman who cherishes a proper regard for the
sanctity of the matrimonial contract could not
but feel outraged Bhould Dr. WethertH's applica
tion be granted. But I. have no fears upon this
point." The sentiments of the members in regard
to it are fully expressed, and I predict for it an
overwhelming defeat.
For several days past the lobbies of the House
of Representatives have presented the unnatural
spectacle of a fatner waging an unhoiy persecu
tion against bia wife, and the son laboring with
honest zeal to defeat the machinations against his
mother. If Dr. Wefherill isnot wholly lost to ev.
ery feeling of shame, ha should shrink from the
exposures which will inevitably follow this attempt
to blast the character, not only of a wife who has
borne him seventeen children, and who has ever
sustained the character of a strictly virtuous lady
but also of those children. We shall, however’
hove some rich developments soon, and a com
plete txpoie of Dr. Wethenll, and the course he
has been and Is pursuing it, this jtifamous affair.
So soon as I can lay hold of these I will furnish
you with them, and ask that you will give them a
place In your paper, in order that the people may
know upon what grounds this divorce is asked,
and by what means it is attempted to be accom
f plished. ■ ■ :
I have been looking In vain fot some published
account ol the payment of the entfro interest on
the State debt, by our present, competent and efli»
dent Treasurer, General Bickel, and very much to
my surprise and to the shame of the Democratic
papers bo it said, that not a single mention of the
fact has yot been made. This is, to say the : least
iof it, gross injustice fo Goneral Bickel, When
i Gideon J. Ball once paid the interest of the State
debt, not only was the fact heralded days m ad
vance of the payment, but every Whig paper in
the State wag loud m its commendations; while
now, the Democratic Treasurer, inthout an y dis
count or loan of any kind, pays the entire xntereU in
par fundi, amounting to $940,274 27, and yet the
poor compliment of a bare mention or this impor
tant fact is domed. It is unfair and ungenerous
treatment of n faithful and meritorious officer, and
wholly inexcusable on the part of the Democratic
papers Catch the Whigs pursuing such a course.
Instead of permitting it to pass unnoticed they
would have manufactured all the capital out of it
which their ingenuity could have effected. I
therefore call upon you. friend Harper, to do an
act of justice to an honest, capable and meritori
ous officer, by giving the matter more publicity
and importance than lies within the abilities of a
mere reporter or correspondent,
Yours,
* TUo flllislac Steamer Atlantic.
Tho Philadelphia Bulletin contains the following
facta In rotation to thostoamor Atlantic! whose non*
appearance is (he subject of so much anxiety and
gloomy foreboding. Speculation la tho only thing
which can bo indulged io,and thoso of tho Bulletin's
informant may bo as good as any thing else in that
way t in tho aboooco of certain information :
A gentleman of this city, who has friends on board 1
the Atlantic, has jnst returned from a visit to New I
York, made with the especial object of ascertaining I
from the owners the probabilities in regard to her I
safety. We are enabled to lay boforo our readers, I
briefly, the information thus obtained, and we have
no doubt it will materially allay the general anxiety.
It la not generally known that some time sinco, the I
steamer Arctic, of the Collins line, took firo daring
i a voyage, and was in danger for a time. In view of j
I this, on tho day before tho Atlantic Billed from New |
York, Captain Weal bad the whole of tho fire appar.
atoa thoroughly overhauled and put into tho most |
perfect order. It is also tho ordinary custom to try
this apparatus every day, so that it may always bo in
I good condition. This renders the destruction oftho I
1 ship by fire almostimpoaslble. Another fact of im- 1
I porlanco is that the ship, whon she sailod from Liv-I
erpool, was provisioned for ninety days, which re
-1 moves all fear of a lack of provisions. A nother piece I
I of information was obtained from an experienced sea |
I captain of Boston, who is familiar with the Azores, I
to which islands the Atlantic is generally supposed
Ito have gone. It is that, although there is. abund
ance of cobl thoro, yot the mode ot coaling—by
1 means of iigbtora —is so tedious, that it would ro I
| quiro ten or twelve days for such a ship as the Al«
I Untie to take on board a sufficient supply to bring |
I her to Now York. Having obtained her coal, the At- ]
1 lantio would most probably sail directly forN. York,
and we could not have hear from her by tho Canada,
and probably cannot hear or her by the Africa, dno.
next weok. It is most reasonable to suppose that
the Atlantic will report herself at New York before
she is hestd of from Liverpool, and that, considering
1 all the delay at tho Azores, or from ao accident to
her engine, oho may not ernvo for somo time to
I como.
Tbial or Buncos, Bark Defaulter. This]

was cashier; wont to England m a small vessel, and
was there arrested by an officer who arrived out in
the steamer ahead of him. The jury was made up
entirely of men from the country, in order to avoid
the objection raised by defendant’s counsel on a for
mer occasion—to wit: tbattho citixens ofSayannah
were interested in the iseno, the cUy he.tog^&
holder in its corporato capacity intfae back. In the.
'case of the captain of tbe vessel, Thrift, indicted as

StttoßUtut© for the Ciinal Board. (
Judge SSnucatAUDj of the W.eat Chester Republi
can) suggests a substitute for the Canal Board, which
he thinks will not only give a. greater satifaction to
the people but will bring; about an actifltl shvmg to
the Commonwealth of one hundred thousand dollars
annually. His substitute provides for a Department
-oflnternol Improvements, with a- Secretary., W bo
-Qlected byihe people for 3 years'.} and imposes upon
that department and officer the duties now pertain* j
mg to the Board of Canal Commissioners, with such ,
limitations and exceptions aa shall be prudent and
proper. Six years have but elapsed since the Board
of Canal Commissioners were made elective, and it
ia not very probable that a change on the present
system will he effected at so early a period, how*

$64,313, facing an increase 0f510,641: over those of
the previous year, and a still greater increase is
anticipated daring the present year. The Painnount
(Vs.) Banner, in noticing these facts* says—
-11 We can see no reason In the world why; the
yearly receipts on the Virginia improvement, from
the Pennsylvania State Uncap to Fairmoont, when
i completed* ehould-not be folly equal to those from
Brownsville to Pittsburgh. As one itenuin.tho at>
count we wiUotato that over the latter but 38,421
barrels of flour were transported last yeay—over the
Virginia improvements It is a moderate estimate to
to put the number of barrels of flour to be transport
ted yearly at 260,000—f0r not only the floor pro*
dneed in our own Btato borders, bnttnnch of that pro*
| dneed in the counties of Faycito, Greene, slid Waab«
ington, in Pennsylvania, would ascend the Mouqo* ]
gahela, seeking a market in the city of Baltimore*
The same increase may bo expected in almost every
articlo of trado mentioned in the report. Bui SQP
pose there should be no increase—snd we ore over
willing to lop off a fourth of it, and to pat the te»
ceipts of the Virginia improvement at three-fourths
i of those of the Pennsylvania, which would be $48,-
336 36, from which subtract for yearly repairs and
expenses, 88,236 36, (and surely they could not ex*
-coed this) and wo have the net recoiptsol $43,00(1--
being twenty per conuim per oonum on the stock,]
only $200,000 being required to complete the work!
Should we not avail ourselves of this mducemont, if
there wore no other, to subscribe for tho stock l
We invito calculating men to examine onr statistics
and estimates. We want them to look at tho pro- ;
dnets of other cofintlea to this State, and then say
whether oar esltoato of the products of the country
on the Monongahela bo not correct.”
About Bit o’clock last esentag, a terrific gas or*
plosion took place, at tho philosophical Instrument
Manufactory of Messrs. Chamberlain & Ritchie, Ho.
9 School street, which caused considerable damage
to glass, but fortnnatoly resaUcd In bo injory to life.
Mr. Ritchie, and Mr. Willard Coles, the foreman of
tho shop, were tho only persona present at tho time,
and wero engaged in eipcnmeots with the oxy*hy*
drogen blowpipe. Mr Ritchie had taken by mistake
an India rubber bag, about onc»third full of ozygen
gas, supposing it to contain hydrogen, anerror which ]
ho would have discovered by looking at tho cocks, i
opon which the gas ib marked. Ho had proceeded
i with the assistance of Mr, Coles to refill, as ho sup
posed, a bag of hydrogeo, by forcing into it a qoanti*
ly of that gas. Mr. Coles had his knees upon the
bag during the process, which was continued till
some 28 or 30 gallons of combined gas had been
forced into the bag, when tho combustion. took
place, which always results from a union of these
gases.
Tho eiplosion vrhieh followed threw tho body or
Mr. Coles op against the ceiling, together with a]
number of weights weighing 28 pounds* and other i
articles—but fortunately doing no material personal
injury to either Mr. Coles or Mr. Ritchie. The
weights were forced completely through the piaster
ing and Utbcs. A largo plato of glass attached to
an olcctncal machine, 55 inches in diameter, cost*
log $125, was broken to fragments, as well as some
40 panes of glass in the windows fronting on School
street, leaving not a single pane unbroken. —Boston

A correspondent of the Buffalo Commercial Ad. |
vertiser gives the following deacnptioo of a volca-1
no m the vicinity of thg greatSati.Lake... J
This volcano is in a plain of mod, and on the l
borders of the Lake. It is composed ol mud, and
covets several acres. Steam and water are esca- I
ping from some half dozen apertures. The mud
is raised up into cones, the hrgbesi pot five feet
from the general surface. They are , terminated |
by tubes, some hardened and lined with crystals i
i of sulphnr and other snbstances. One of the cones
1 throws steam and water 10 or 16 feet into the air.
It escapes rapidly and with a sound resembling
the escape of steam from the pips of a small
I steam engine; and it ejects hot and cold water at
I short intervals. One cauldron,-some four feet
I across, bollsup until it overflows, then sinks sev-
I eral leet and again overflows. Mothing is seen
I but a mass of foam; the water is;strongly im.
j pregnated with sal ammonia.
1 There arc other cauldrons from 10 to 20 feel in
] diameter, filled to within 3 or 4 feet with boiling
I mud, which is occasionally thrown out in every
I direction.
About a mile further off is another collection
of mud cones, and .on the opposite side an isl
and of volcanic rock rises to the height of SO
feet; nt the foot of it is salt in sheets, strongly
impregnated'with &al ammonia; that from the
Lake is pure, and is used by the Californians, In
the vicinity of the volcano we saw several led*
ges covered with pumice, and we met with it
in various other places on the plains.
I believe we were tho first white, men who
l had ever visited the place, and vve had great dif
ficulty in persuading the Indians to guide ub
to it. They have a legend that whoa you op
proach it. it. commences hallooing, and if you
go nearer, birds resembling vultures or buzzards
I fly out of it, and falling upon your head, are
I sure to make you forfeit your life for your te
I merity.
I The mirage was so great that we could not
see Salt Lake distinctly. The mud was very
I soft, and owing to the condition of. our horses
Iwe could not venture to it. The Salt in the vi-
I cinity is found in cryatalized layers, from the
I thickness of half an inch down. It is in com.
I mon use among the natives.
Ail entertaining book is Lord Holland’s remi
niscences, latety published in London. It abounds,
in anecdotes' of Bonaparte not before printed,?-™
We give one of the most characteristic:
On his first nomination to the army of Italy,
the Directory is said to have been unable or un
willing to supply him with the money necessary
for the journey of himself and his fild-descamps to
the sport, and their suitable appearance at head
quarters of. a considerable force. In this emer
gency, after collecting all that his resources, the
contributions of his friends, and his credit could
muster, he is reported to have applied to Jpnot, a
young officer whom he knew to be in the habit of
frequenting the gaming tables, and confiding to
him all the money he had been able to raise, in it
self no great sum; to have directed him either to
i lose the whole or increased a considerable amount
I before the morning, as on his success, that night
depended the possibility of his taking the com
mand of the army Bnd appointing Junet bis aid.
de-camp. Junot, after succeeding, beyond his ex.
I pectalions in . winning to an amopnt in bis judg
ment equal to the exigencies of his employer,
J hastened to inform General Bonaparte, but he was
I not satisfied, and resolving to try his fortune to tho
I utmost, bade his friend return, risk all that he had
I gained, and not quit the table until he had lost the
I last penny or doubled the eum he had brought back
Ito him In this also, after some fluctuation, the
chances favored him, and Napoleon aat out to his
headquarters furnished with sufficient to take up,
I on him the : command with no littls personal

Jr,, (comedian,) and Miss Harriot Mace, both of the
[ theatrical profession, were'arrested on Thursday
night at Boston, just after tho performance, for bee
I ipg entirely to 6 familiar. The arrest was at the in.
stance of Mr. Booth’s wife, Clementina, a well
known actress here. She chargee that since the 6lh
of February at Brookline, the one has been guilty of

Another mammoth Cave. ;
The Franklin, la. .Examiner gives the following
account of a vast and most interesting cave re
cently discovered. It is written by s visiter natn.-
edS. Burnet. ■■■■■'
Hast week visited a newly discovered .cave in
Crawford county,lndiana. It is pn.tbe rigat.Dank.
r df-Brue-Btver. For ■magnificence and beauty of
scenery it promises, when fully explored, to rrval
even the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky. In®
-Epsom Salts Cave, known fornearly half a cen
tury, and successfully worked for saltpetre .and
salts, many years since, is about two miles long,
1 and in some places 40 or 50 feet wide, and 75feet
high; but has nothing peculiarly interesting in it
I except a beautifuk fluted column, some2s feet id’
I diameter, and 25 or 30 feet high, all of stalactic
| matter,.
)■ Entering this cava under a‘ jutting rock, near
I the brow of a lofty hiily and descending for about
l a quarter of a mile, at ah angle of 30to 40 deg.
| we entered a Bmall door, and after stooping rath*.
I er uncomfortably low for sixty yards, found our*
I selves in a large open cave, or bat .room, in which
I tens'of- -thouaSnds of theselittle animals bang sus-
psnded ftom the rocks in large clusters, tike bees
in Bwarms.’ Further on, sticks'lkd size ofihoop*.
prileß,-hickory bark, charcoal; and barefoot human
tracks were discovered, which must have remain
ed there ’a long time, as the door.to this part of
the cave was so blocked up with rocks when first
discovered (hat a man could not possibly paßs.
We soon entered an avenue4o feet wide, and vary-*
ing in height from 10 to 60 feet; the ceiling as
smooth and beautiful as if finished by the trowel;
then suddenly changing, presents the appearance
of diversified- hanging drapery, -all of spotless
white. Then again the naked rocks appear..
At the end of this avenue, we found ourselves
at the foot of a rocky pyramid, up which we
climbed some sixty feet, and on the top of which
stand two beautiful stalagmites some five feet high,
eighteen inches in diameter, and as white as the
purest Italian marble, and when viewed by . the
dim light of our candles, presented a strong con
trast with the grey walls of limestone rock. An
oblong canopy some forty or.fifty feet high, is here
hung with beautiful atalactic, suspended from the
ceiliog.. We now found it necessary to crawl up
on our faces, or “ snake it,” for about twenty feet,
when we came into an avenue ; wide and high.—
T@ihg suddenly to' the left,, we found ourselves
id the midst of swnery of.anfpassing and exqui.
6ita beauty. The entire walls are covered with
an incrustation of sulphate of lime, crystalized. so.,
as to glisten like tea thousand: diadems in the
light. 1 Some of these crystets are a foot id length, >
an - inch wide, and as thick as a.table knife blade,
and grew upon this base in a thousand diversified,
forms. - ' . ' ,
Upon a projecting rock, at one Bide of the ave-.
due, largo numbers had broken by their weight,
and were lyiog in great profusion on the bottom of
the- cave. Tbeße formations, like the base on
which they grew, are sulphate, and-while as the
driven snow. : : Others, resembliog glass, form np*
on the; ceiling, 1 as well ed the floor, from an inch
in diameter to the length and size pf a common
knitting needle, and even smaller. The iucrosta»
lion is frequently an inch thick, blit moregeneral
ly from an eighth to a quarter of an inch thick.
Much of it has fallen to the floor, and is crashed
under the feet of the visiter, and the place it occn
i; pied oo the ceiling is being replaced by a new for.
i motion. But lam utterlyunable to describe it.—
It must be seen to be appreciated, or any correct
idea formed of Us beauty.
. We visited many rooms with spacious domes
| and stalactites of every imaginable siza and form.
! In one apartment the water finds its way through
i a long range of projecting rocks, and the stalactic
I matter is formed in folds and blades, like extend
ed honey-comb, and bangs like drapery around the
sides of the room. Upon the bottom is formed a
great number of little pools,of every form, eieva-.
ted upon the floor, like basins or troughs—the rim
of each being perfectly level and Inclined inwards,
F the stone which forms the basin being hot thicker
I than a paste board. I spent three days in this
! wonderful hole in the ground—say seven hours
I each day. The first two days were spent to ex«.
I amining find exploring, and I think we must have
traveled at least one mile per hour, or fourteen
miles in two days. The third day I revisited the,
most interesting parts, to procure specimens-for
geological investigation.
I had forgotten to say that saltpetre and epsom
salts are found in various parts, iularge quanti
ties; and I procured a lump of salts ofhalf a pound
weight, quite pure. We.ventured a tnileat least,
further than any one had ever gone before, and left
it for others still to prosecute.- A quite transpas
■ rent eyeless crawfish which we found, was not the
leastinteresting thing which we saw.. _
The entrance" to the cave belongs to Henry P.
Rathrack, a wealthy, generous gentleman, who
cheerfully tendered us every facility for examine
ing the cave, and attended us as guide. I have no
doubt when it is fully explored and surveyed, it
will prove to be one of the wonders of Hoosierdom.
