second, our public improvements, meaning

Mr. Thurston, the Deleente from nree , on.
as published a circular showin r the extra
rdinary inducement for emigrants to c.o to

took measitres to secure the quiet of the In
dians by purchasing their lands. and provi

was passed giving to all men over 18 years
of age; arriving, and settling in Oregon, pre
vious to December, 1850, 320 acres of land,
if single, and if married 640 acres. The
bill then provides that if those si - ngl/ . men
I . narry in are, tear from the Ist of December
1850, the 7 0;4 receive 640 acres. White
males over tWenty-one, emigrating to that
country and setting there, between the Ist
of December. 1850, and the Ist of Decem
ber, 1853, stall receive 166 acres of land, if
a single. man, and if marred, thls-st- 320 acre..
13ut there , i is also a prvision here, that if
single inenharry in on/ year after arriving
in the territry, they then ieceiwe 320 acres.
All male inipori who go to Ve country and
settle, and becoirie kwentiqine before De

absolutely, and if they many in one year af

YANKEE PRIDE AND 17,1NKEE SIqLL.—A
gallant tar, who lately arrived from a.three
years' cruise in the frigate Brandywine. no
ticed, in one of the papers, a few days since,
! an article copied from the "London Inustra
pd News," stating that some skilful penman
lin England had with his pen wrote the
'Lord's Prayer in a circle not larger than an
F. nzlish sixpence in_circumference. Jack,"
with the usual characteriStic pride of his
countrymen, and havijig due confidence •in
his own skill, immediately determined to
Write the Barue Prayer in a circle the size of
ap English \ three-Pence, which is little larger
; than our gold dollar.
The difficult, task was accomplished; and
yesterday; with becoming yet modest pridp,
be exhibited to us the result of his labor, !
which was indeed a wondrous specimpti of
penmanship. -Every letter and word could
be distinctly read. with - a ma,gnifying glass,
and yet, with the naked eye,it seemed to be
but a mass of fine hair strokes. On asking
the sailor his name, he "blushingly ,replied,
" I don't want my name to go into' the pa:
pets: I read what an Englishman had done,
and IMt some pride in beating him." Such
is the indomitable pride of our yankee peo

Still it must be considered that " prospecting"
1 for rich " gulches" and other " washings" has
seen its best days, and that turning rivers for.
the sake of washing their beds has generally
proved a failure. Regnlay mining, or'extract

The threatened war in Germany, from the:
current reports, seeins to h'4Ve,..been stayed
for the present ; and the arrangenientl at 01-
mutz between Baron Mantcuffel - - . and Prince
Scharzenberg Were said to have 'received. the
approbation both.,of-the King of Prussia and
his counsel. Further despatches of late date
state that the Cabinets of Berlin and Vienna
have - assented to the Olmutz arrangements,
and that peace may be considered as certain.,
In the Lower House of the Prussian Parlia
ment, there was however a determiuedcppn e ,
' sition tp . theo arrangements, and . it.haa been .
adjourned ter the . third of January by' the .
King. In the meantime the warlike. ar-
I rangements of both countries continue, and
Germany presents the appearance of a caMp.,
Both at Vienna and Berlin preparations are
mlide for a sanguinary contest, and Prussian
troops from West phalia continue, to concen
trate on Ilesse Cassel ; where the position of
the forces of the Bund is every clay becoming
Inure untenantable for want of supplies.
The " Papal af.rgressions,"lm the recent
Catholic movements. in England are called
still excite a degree of attention ; but We are
at length enabled to announce a. marked de
cline in the excitement. • This is hailed with
plieisure by the Liverpool Times, : which
thinks that the sound Protestant feeling of
the country has been sufficiently tested, to in
dicate that there is not the slightest fear of
Papal domination in England.; .
At Rome there is rather au increased un
easiness about the excitement which' has ta
ken i•lace in England on - the Papal ag,,gres
- sions. At present everything is cpftet in
Lombardy and Turin,' but if a war breaks
out in Germany, it is fearful that trantiility
can scarcely be maintained. •

WEAftINP. AWAY.-A. few evenings since
another mass of rock was dislodged from the
brink of the precipice at Niagara Falls, hnd
plunged in the abyss below. 'The portion

of the river, beneath where a.canat boat has
been Iving for the last year. The mass was
some eight rods Jong and as many wide, and
now occupies and fills up tha pathway to

and iri the immed:ate vicinity of the Falls it
