California and tbe Sandwich Inlands afftrd markets aad good prices for all our surplus pro.!nets, and will undoubtedly for years to come. Many of the various*religious denominations have established churches in tbe Territory, to some one of which tbe majority of tbe settlers belong. Gteat interest has also been manifested by tbe people in the establishment of good schools, and admirably have they succeeded in tbeir laudable efforts. Tbe Institute at Salem, under tbe patronage of the Methodist Episcopal Church, amf the Academy of Tualatin Plains, under the control of the Presbyterians, are excellent and flourishing institutions. There are also two female Institutes in Oregon city. Portlsnd, Lafayette, and other small towns have good schools. Indeed, thry are common in tbe country wherever the population will justify them.

shall be established to overawe and keep them in subjection. This, I hope, will soon be done, for their depredations upon travelers have already caused much trouble and suffering. They are upon the great throughfare from Oregon to California; a fork of which leads to Fort Hall, being the road frequently traveled by emi-
grants from that point to Oregon.
Emigrants have the past year suffered considerably from the Snake Indians, who infest the great road west of Fort Hall, and who are scattered over a large extent of Territory through which the road passes. The establishment of a garrison in their country, is essentially necessary for the maintainance [sic] of peace, and the protection of the lives and property of persons passing to and from Oregon. A number of emigrants have, during the past season, been murdered by the Indians, and many of their animals and other property stolen from them. Emigrants should exercise great care and prudence in
passing through this district of country, and they should remember that it is essential to their safety, upon all parts of this road, that in no case should they suffer
themselves to be taken by surprise, or the least advantage had of them by the Indians, for the least careless-

Dry goods, groceries, furniture, and farming utensils, of all kinds, are abundant in Oregon, and no one should think of taking such things with them. It must not, however, be supposed that no inconveniencies are to be experienced by emigrants after they arrive there. These are always incident to the settlement of new countries, especially for the first vear; but they are fewer in Oregon than are usual in the settling of new territories.

Terrible Steamboat Explosion!—Awful Loss of Life!—Tbe Boat and two Barges Burned up!—
Great Loss of Property!
Grand Gulf, Jan. 14, 8 P. M.
About 1 o’clock this inerning. the steamboat Geo. Washington, on her way from Cincinnati to New Orleans, when a short distance above this place exploded, after which she took fire, and was entirely consumed. Capt. Irvine was badly scalded, and the' first clerk,
Win. Carroll, was killed.
Many that were killed by the explosion were afterwaids burned. Among those killed and missing were Wm. Carroll, 1st clerk; a Mr. Jas. Treat, Pliillip Snpner, first cook, five firemen, six deck hands, and six deck passengers, names not known—all supposed to h ive been burned with the boat.
