California and Oregon,
One excitement eclipses another. So the
world wags on, eager for novelty soon pal
led, and rushing with equal enthusiasm in
pursuit of another. And yet it is some
times pleasant, always instructive, to look
upon the past—to see how our spirits, of
prophecy have been falsified or verified—to
contrast predictions with results.
Now the centre of attraction—the depot
Of wealth—the point of news is California.
A few years back, and public attention was
arrested and directed to Oregon, now, (we
were almost going to say none so poor as to
do her reverence,) California has eclipsed
Oregon for a time. Dazzled by the spark
le of gold, thousand have repaired to this
El Dorado, in search of what is considered
the highest good of life—a large fortune
amassed in a few years. The fortune hun
ter dreams of happiness,when he shall have
acquired wealth, that he may retire, free
from care, and spend hi:; day in unembar
iassed enjoyment.
In the mean time, Oregon is forgotten :
While California, in ,a few years, has been
Settled and built up and become a Frani
tent State in the Union. This has been
achieved by commerce, dealing in the sta
ple of gold—the artificial medium of value,
itlmost valueless in itself. Agriculture the
true source of Wealth, has been almost
neglected.
But Oregon, although neglected. is slow
ly and steadily advancing. lier wealth is
in her situation, her climate and soil. and
when a railroad shall have pierced the Roc
ky 11Iountnins, and connected the Pacific
with the east, Oregon will come into notice
and g row in importance and wealth, and
overshadow her neighboring and forward
sister. The settlers in Oregon are princi
pally engaged in agriculture—the soil and
climate being both favorable to an abundant
harvest.
We can recollect some of the glowing
descriptions of this region, Old Benton
painted it with the pen of an Eastern poet.
Within an impregnable barrier, on whose
icy peaks the morning sun sets a crown of
light, lies a valley, clothed in the richest
luxuriance. The exhalations which arise
are destitute of those destructive finalities
which bring sickness and death among the
imacclimated settlers. The air is fresh and
invigorating, and catching the incense of
wild flowers, conies to the senses laden with
health and fragrance. Prom the snow
cupped range on the east, flow down a thou
sand limpid rivulets, forming themselves
into pearly cascades and cooling springs
among the rocks. These little streams ag•

The Santliiich Islant;s,
We are informed—says the N, w Vorl:
'Tribune—that an Agent of ;oven] m c ht
of the Sandwich Islands is now at Washing
ton, with full power to negotiate importatit
changes iri . the relations between the Islands
hpd the United States. Ile is the hearer
of two propositions—one for the establis h
;tient i of an A mmican Protectorate over the
is.lan4s, their Govereinent and internal or
tiatiitation remaining the same as now ; the
Wier, for the abdication of the K ing, the
complete: resignation of the authority into
the hands of the people under suitable
publican forms, and the definite annexation
of the Islands to this Republic. These pro
positions are submitted to our Government
for its choice and acceptance, with an earn
est request from the King and his Ministers,
that one or th6otherof them may be prompt
ly embraced , and acted upon. This step,
we have reason to believe, has not been
without deliberation and perfect con
viction that it is both necessary and timely.
To take the islands under Lite protection
of the United States would be of little, if any
advantage to tither of the two parties.-
Our protection could hardly be rendoredef
ficacious in a country where our right to ex
ercise it might be denied, while it might
'entangle us in unpleasent difficulties with
other nations.
In our view the only question to be enter-
'wined is that of Annexation. As a territo
ty of the United States the Islands would
be exempt:from loreign interference, and"
the authority of our flag mid the force of our
laws would not be disputed. t To the inhab
itants and future settlers Annexation would
~ie!I blessing,. It tt;ould ensure tranquility,
order, and a more active development of the
rich natural resources of the country. (
it. present white population by far the grea
ter and predominantly influential pelt are
rfiericans, who long once. more to live ine
der the stars and stripes. Its civilization
and its commerce are American ; jts laws
and government are already, 1.6 a great ex
tend, modeled ilium ours.
To our whale fisheries-and-commerre - in
the Pacific these [,lands are already a point
of the highest importance. Even before
the settlement of California, nzuriy three
quarters of the .shippilia- sisppino there was
American, and ince - "then the noinhei of
our vessels trailing thither has grr•aily
creased, exclusive of the whalers putting in
incidentally: And as the trade of the Pa-
Cific is developed, the value of the Island's
will increase, not only to ourselves, but to
other notions:
, .
We see then, no reason conclusively to
forbid the necei,ta'nOs of the second prop°.
ptcighteif suitable terips,can Ue of
ranged, and it ho established that Slivery
shall never exist there, a point on which, as
now informed, we should have no fear.—
That our Fiolitical system has sufficient vi
tality and truth to admit of its application to
a country so distant is our firm belief. And
it appears evident that the Islands cannot
long remain an independent State and could
never attain that flight of prosperity which
is possible for them, except as a member of
the American Confederation. And while
we shall ever oppose all untimely move
ments for mere extention of territory, espe
cially if they are accompanied by violent
and dishonorable acts, we cannot but think
that the established importance of these Is
lands to our maritine and commercial in
terests, the. fact that their people are, to a
considerable and steadily increasing extent
Americans, an 4 that their.. constituted and
legitimate authorities . ask for the change,
should insure for their proposal the nest
serious and friendly consideration on the
part of President Millard Fillmore and his
adviser.
inother Desperate Gang of Vii Hans,
A late number of the Shawnee town Ad
vocate, gives an account of the discovery
and arrest of a gang of villains, who have
carried on, for years past, a regular system
of kidnapping slaves, forgery, thieving, and
)erha is murder. The desperate character
•
of these villains appears to have Lien only
equalled by the gang. which was recently
broken up in Michigan :
"Their head quarters were on Wolfe's
Island, Ky, near the corner of the States . of
Kentucky, T e nnessee, and
The band was discovered not long since
through the failure of an attempt by one of
the dee-leaders to murder a Dr. Swavnc,
who'had recovered a judgment for some
$lO,OOO against Newton J. Wight, anoth
er praminent member of the gang. In
May, 1450, Wright gave Abe Thomas, a
man of desperate character, sl:itY to kill Dr.
S• Accordingly, Thotnas, pretenting to
wish the Dr. to visit his sick faller, enticed
him from home, and attempted to murder
him ; but the Dr., after being shot in the
arts, gave the alarm, and the desperado es
caped.' Notwithstanding every exertion
was made to ferret out the, villain, so deep
ly was the plot laid, that he was only acci
dentally di.covvred a short time ago; and
his discovery . led to the disclosure of the
whole all'air of the company.

Flax Cotton in Great Britain.
The London correspondent of the Com
mercial Advertiser says of flax cotton :
The use of flax cotton, manufactured ac-
cording to the process of Chevalier Claus
sell, is notein progress upon an extensive
scale at Ilreadford,' in Yorkshire, and , at
Cork, in Ireland, large mill owners of these
places Imre entered - into contracts. 'Pile
principle of the invention, by which flax is
adopted for spinning upon, wool, and silk
machinery, consists in the destructioon of the
cylindrical character of the fibre by th ex
pansive power of corbonic acid gas. Th e
float pr ocess,. howe,'ver, Is the removal of the. ;
resinous matter peculiar to the flout.—
This is effected by boiling in for three hours
in water, containing one-half per cent. of
cionmon soda, alter which it is dipped in
water slightly acidulated with sulphuric
acid. The flax - is then thoroughly satura
ted in a solutio'n of Id carbonate of soda, and
being subsequently immersed in a solution
of diluted sulphuric acid. a liberation of aft,

dough or an expanding sponge." Lastly,
for the purpose of 'ming bleached, it is
plunged in hypochiorite of magnesia, when
it instantly becomes white. A fiery gen
eral opinion prevails, that the inventinn,will
lead to rapid and extraordinary results.—

Progress of Mormonism in - England,
The following history of - the propagation
of the Mormon doctrines. in England was
contained in it speck of Mr. John Hyde. Jr.,
at a recent Convention of Mormons in Lon
don.
We quote from the London Sun of Junt
third :
The speaker then adverted to the pro
gress of "the Church" in England, observ
ing that in 1637, one year before the saints
reached Nauvon, Elders K. C. Kimball and
Orson Hyde, together with several others,
landed at Liverpool, friendless and destitute.
They separated and went forth, preaChing
into the towns on either side. Preston,
first heard and obeyed the principles of
truth. In eight months, seven hundred
members met in that town, rejoicing in th e
power and privilege of the Gospel. In a
very short time, several counties, among
which were Yorksh i re, C hesi re, Lancashire,
Stallbrd, Gloucester, Worcester, and lore
ford, had heard and received the servants of
God. Thus the church increased ;so that
in IS-10, after three years labor, the general
conference reported 3,626 members, and
2r33 in the priesthood, making in all .I,OIU
saint,s.
But such triumphant success was not cOll
- to England ; Scotland enjoyed n por
tion, and Ireland ens also made to rejoice,
and Wales testified, by her thousands, bow
the Church had progressed in that province.'
In Scotland the blood-cemented pyramid of
bigotry and superstition had been triumph
antly attacked, although sustained by the I
proverbial wariness of the Scotch. The
conferences established in Edinbor! -, . not- I
withstanding that Inindieds bind removed
and hundreds More entigraled, still repro
vented inure than 1,5:30 members. ( ;Ins-
gOW was also proclaimed, and over .2,01;:l
tneinhers were now reveling in the enjo3- 1
meat of the spirit of truth. In ISSI more
than 3,530 had obeyed the mandates of!
Heaven, and thousands had, beside emigra
ted to the gathering place of the saints:—,
As to Ireland it wits not until 1820 that i
Dublin had herd the principles of truth ; he
was, however, glad to say that a small:
branch had been established in that city.
In Wales, their success was still more
great and glorious. In ISSI, the number of
saints imthe principality was 'Lb 1$ includ
ing oflicors. The statistics of January last
showed there were, altogether, in the Uni
ted Kinudoin conferences, Gb2 branches,
n
'2 . 2 5W:01160.5, high priests, 1,70 I elders,
1,500 priests, 1,t226 teuclwrs, fib 2 den
cons, and '2'5451 members, making a total
of:10,717. Besides these, 17,009 have been
baptised in England, who eini4rated from
her shores to Zion. Ile next gave a brief
sketch of the progress of the work in Lon

The Worlds Fair.
The London Times, which is greatly ro
j9iced at the success the friends of Free
Trade have had in this' country, uses the
following language relative to the Ameri
can Exhibition at the World's Fair.:
"If the Americans do excite a smile, it is
by their pretensions. Whenever they come
out of their own province of rugged utility,
and enter into competition with European
elegance, they certainly do make themselves
ridiculous. Their furniture is grotesque ;
their carriages and harness are gingerbread ;
their carpets are tawdry; their patchwork
quilts surpass even the invariable ugliness
of this fabric ; their cut glass is clumsy :
their pianos sound of nothing but iron and
wood ; their bookbinding is that of a jour
neyman working on his own account in an
English market town ; their daguerreotypes
are the smallest and gloomiest of daguerreo
types; there printed calicoes
.rt re such as
our housemaids would not think it respect
able to wear. Even their itigenuity, great
as it is, becomes ridiculous when it attempts
competition with Europe. Double pianos,
a combination of a piano and a violin, a chair
with a segar case in its back, and other mon
grel constructions, belong to a people that
would he centaurs and mermen if they
conk', nod are alwa vs rebelling against the
trammels of unity."
And it is to build and keep up such sneer
ers at our people that the Free Trade tit rap!'
ISM was enacted and is now kept in force.
The ini:ieiable slanders of the Times do not
deserve ref (nation. We pub:ish them to let
Americans know hcw they are treated af
ter eiving the Hritish Lords till the free trade
Legislation they it sired.
