From Oregon. <To the Editor of the Union:> The inclosed paper contains a letter from my son in Oregon, and may interest his friends residing in different parts of the United State, who feel an interest in Oregon. Your paper having a very extensive circulation, induces me to ask of you the favor of its publication. Most respectfully, WILLIAM SHANNON. ----- OREGON TERRITORY, Feb. 8, 1846. The return of my friend, Mr. Palmer, of Franklin county, Indiana, offers me an opportunity, which I fondly accept, of again writing you briefly in relation to this country, and the trip to be performed in getting here. We arrived in this, the first division of the territory, safely on the last day of September--though that was much in advance of the emigration generally. In company with a few others, with only five wagon, we procured two boats at Fort Nesperces [sic], or Walla Walla, and descending the great river of the West to Linnton, a place named in honor of the late celebrated Senator from Missouri, who took so active and earnest a part in every thing that related to the interest of this territory. By this method of travelling we were enabled to outstrip the balance of the company, and arrived here more than a month earlier than any preceding emigration; and even two months earlier than some of the companies for the tear [sic]. In fact, some of the emigrants are yet at the Dalles, and intend coming down the Colombia in the spring, as soon as they can cross the Cascade mountains with their cattle. There is as yet no wagon route or pa discovered in these mountains. A small party of about thirty wagons made the attempt to cross over them, hut failed in getting through with their wagons; some of them remained in the mountains until December, and, leaving their wagons, came over on pack horses. The Cascades are a great barrier to the settlement of this country, from the fact that there are as yet no facilities for passing down the Columbia river, except a few very small boats; consequently a large emigration will be unable to get through in the same year. Many of this year's emigration have taken winter quarters in the Secena [sic] division, as it is called--that is, above the falls. Our emigration was very large, yet we made the trip in good time, and with less difficulty than I expected, although the distance actually travelled is far greater than I supposed. Agreeably to the account which I have carefully kept, the distance is about 2,600 miles from here to Knoxville--about 1,500 of which is through a broken and mountainous country; yet the travelled road is not so difficult as is generally supposed by those who have never been over it. The trip can easily he made from any of the Western States in six months, with a careful selection of teams and a proper outfit. On arriving in this division of the territory, and making a careful examination of the country, I must say that I was very agreeably disappointed. Instead of finding the country a barren waste or desert, I find it as rich and fertile as any part of Illinois. The whole of this division of the territory, so far as I have made a personal observation, and even the highest hills (not mountains) is unsurpassed in fertility. The land here produces more per acre than it does in any part of Illinois. For the growth of wheat, there is certainly no part of the world equal to
Oreson All kinds o small er. mi "row heller here than in the Slates, and fir garden vegetables it i. decidedly the finest I ever have seen. There certainly is no countrv where stork ol all kinds d" as finely as here. Cattle are good beef at all seasons of the year, dazing is fine all winter. Stock is never grain-fed in this countiy. The oxen we drove in the teams from the States are now fat. This winter is said to be colder than usual, yet töcre has been but few mornings thai the mercuty has been below freezing, and we can plough any tune in the winter. Speaking of the winters, reminds mc of what I have often heard in the States, that is, that in Oregon it rains constantly for four moulds, (hi the fall and winter seasons.) This, however, 1 have heard disputed, and being anxious to settle llie matter for tin self, n? well as to bo able to answer the inquiries ol others having an interest in this direction, I have kept a day book, (being employed on a farm.) and the tunc I have lost is as follows : November two days, Doccinher two, and January four. I have never seen a country where a man could do as much work in the winter as in Oregon. A regards the health of t!tis country, there is but one opinion : it is remarkably healthy. The emigration must ot necessity be much e.v posed aller leaving comfoitable and well proviJed homes in the Stairs, and performing so I ng a trip, to settle here, at first with so lew of thu comforts and conveniences tu which they were accustomed; ycl, so far as I have been informed, the new emigrants enjoy uninterrupted health, and are in fine spirits and vigor, and all appear well pleased with their new homes. Our last year's emigration numbered 4,210. Many of them have left their families in the States, presuming to satisfy themselves before breaking up their old homes. So far as 1 am acquainted, they all iniend bringing their families to Oregon. Such 1 know to he the intention of Mr. Palmar, the late representative of Franklin county, Indiana. I wrote you a letter by Dr. White w hen we were trailing up Burnt river, which 1 expected would reach yon "rly " Hy-nw.r The IKmJot is our Indian agent, and was on his way to WashingtoTi city. We have just heard that White and his parly were all murdered by the Sioux Indians. Mr. (Irant, the agent of the Hudson Hay Compiny at Fort Hall, lias written tu Dr. .McLaughlin, of Vancouver, that such is the latt. We still hope, how ever, that it may be otherwise. His loss Would be III U I'll lamented. tie hid a targe packet of Idlers from private individuals, as well ns much mailer for Congress, from the Legislature of the Territorial government of Oregon ; for have a government here, a sovrnorand legislature, to- . gelhev with the usual count otlieers. Law and good order are nowhere more punctually observed. We have a printing press, churches, and numerous schools. In fine, this country has all the elements, and that in a high degree, of geographical, physical, political, and moial grandeur and progression. On the fifst day of January, 131G, after travelling 3,000 miles, 1 stood on the shores of the great 1'acitic, and with "unmingled delight gazed upon the mighty deep. I have been on the Columbia from Fort Ncsperces, which is situated at the mouth ol the Walla Walia river, ; to iU mouth, at the Pacific. The Columbia, from Ncsperces down, has many falls, or rapids, some ot w hich are impassable. About one hundred miles below I'orl r?sperces, are what is called the Great Falls. Here the water of ihe great river of the west rushes through numerous chasms in Ihe rocks, with perpendicular falls, their navigation being impossible with any kind of cialt. A short distance below this is the balls, here the entire body of the river runs through a narrow space of 150 feet, walled in by basaltic columns of perpendicular rock on either fide. Fifty miles below, and on the north bank lands I'ort Vancouver, the principal establishment of the Hudson Bay Company. It consist of a number of buildings within a stockade, and numbers several hundred inhabitants. The Wallameltu enters the Columbia about seven miles below Vancouver. The Wallainetle valley embraces very nearly the whole of what is called the first division of the territory on the south side of the river Columbia, and is about 100 miles wide, hy 250 or 300 in length, with numerous tributaries, affording the mot abundant privileges ol extensive water power. The Wallainetle river is navigable for steamboats near two hundred miles from in mouth, except the one obstruction, (lie celebrated falls, around w hich atan il is now being built. The Columbia is m'ich contracted at the mouth, and falls into the 1'acifiu between two high points or capes of land, one on the right called Cape. Disappointim-m, and the left l'oint Adams. From each of these a sand bar extends into the water. Here the waves ol the Pacific are met in angry violence by the rolling current of . tins Columbia, forming a heavy line of breakers, w hich renders the entrance and departure of vessels always hazardous. The depth of water between ihe bars n'll.irly teet at ihe lowest slajje of the live r. The Columbia abounds in fish, especially salmon, which firms the principal sup-'-jtrt for numerous Indian tribes whn.ii infiabil Ihe firsT and seeond divisions of the territory. There are, aUo, t three ships in this river two IJrili-li a.id one American. Fr the benefit ol your acquaintances, if there should be any such wishing to coinu to Oregon, and desirous of any information in relation to the journey, I propose giving you .1 brief outline of the nccesnaries h-r the successful auJ independent prosecution of ihu enterprise. In the first place they should have a strong two-horse wagon, light, but well made, with si yoke of oxen to each wagon, from four to six years old, of rpick and lively appearance, of mid jle size, well for.ncd lor travelling; they Hiould be dorile r.nd tractable Lel'ite Marting. Shoeing
is unnecessary. 1 here should not oo more man I ,o'J lb, per wagon, and four yoke to the wagon is enough at one time, l'.ut in trailing up the Nebraska, or Platte, I rvauld drive them all to the wagon, to prcveit lliein from getting the foot evil; lor all who have performed ihn trip rtn testify that loose cattle are much more subject to that diso-der than those thai are kept in tlie teams; and they are not subject to that disease alter they leave the bufi'alo eountry. We have a speedy and certain cure for it ; which is to hum the frog of the foot with hot tar and rosin. The supply of provision should be very nearly as follows: To each person 250 lbs. of flour, 100 lbs. of bacon, 20 lb, of ci. flee, ihn same of sugar, 3 lbs. of saUratus, and rice and dried fruit is very useful. The men should be dressed a ith buckskin, and every family should be well supplied with clothing of nil kinds, as it is very difficult to get clothing in tins country at present, and it is twice as high here as in the Slates, owing to th scarcity and want of competition. I wotiM advise strongly advise every one lo bring nil ihe clothing" they ran, as it will increase the weight of their loading but little, and will be of more use to them than any thing else Ihey can bring, flood rifles are very requisite, aud they sell for from 30 to 75 dollars. American horses are very high in this country; in fact, there are but few here. American mares would sell fir $'200, and the will come the whole trip, if carefully used, and be in jrtod condition when they arrive. It requires some care however, to prevent the Indians from stealing them. 1 would say, let no man start lo this country without a mare, if he can procure one. Cows sell for about $"0; oxen, $100 per yoke. Sheen are imrh needed here, and I am informed, by those who have '""( them -. n v ;
from the States, that they stand the trip as well as any otlur kind of stock. This country is admirably calculated for frowin wool.
! Mechanics of all kinds get high prices for labor. Making ' scouring ploughs would be a great business in this country, as the soil is well calculated for plor.ghs of I hut construc tion. Companies' should tic small not more man ten or twelve wagons should travel together, as ihey will go w ith greater speed and more case. Their stock will do better, and their loss of cattle much less. They should have as few lavs and officers as' possible ; should travel some every day, and not get iinpatioit. The winde trip inn he made nod have grass every night lor the slock. There is hut litthjdiliicu.lt) in getting luel : where there is no wood, drh d w illow s, or sage, we use Lots de räche, which is found in great abundance in the bufT.il' country, and answers a pimd putpiw. Tlie emigrants should a! , statt ns fatly ns the first ol May, or sooner, if the admit. It is a long trip, hut can be made with greater ease than thu same distance in any other country in a Matt: of liattie. The people of the Mates, I know, have heard nitii-h ohout the tail timber in this Country, and it id pridntily all true, t here are ns magnificent In es Ju ic us ever man saw; and trees fmm 1 50 to 'MO fi el in height au'not uncommon. The principal growth ol timber in icgon is pine, white ami red fir, cedar, a-!i, llie various kinds ol oak, and many oilier fptcic that.you have never sei n. I i-hoold he pleased to write you more, hut to give you II h t illed account of our trip, and the general geographical features of tiro coniitiy, so lar ns it has come under my limited observation, would be too irksome a task, as well as too burdensome lor a traveller to carry so far. Oregon is my home. Yours. &c, WXs'LLY SHANNON. LAW iti:.h.'. Compiled for the Indiana State Sentinel. A Fi Avr t'A5r. W'r learn fram the Frank futf (Ky.)

The Shaker Dance. A seceded Shaker family i-s ; giving concerts down east. There arc six perfrmj ers, three brothers and three fritters. They have j succeeded in interesting the people very much in their representations ut the songs and dances which constitute a part of the religious exercises of the Shakers. Mr. Flint, of Salem, thus speaks of thetn : "Miss Willard, the miraculous Shaker Teetotum, as she is called, is the wonder of the million whereever she goes. The ease, grace, ftillnct-s and beauty with which she moves in tlie whirling dance is not only unsurpassed, but perfectly unapproachable at least out of the pale of Shakcrism. Her Shaker gyrations eclipse everything ever attempted by any other person. In fact, Elssler, Celeste, or any other dviseuse never thought of attempting such a wonderful performance. She comes upon the audience like a clap, taking every one by surprise! Nothing but long and severe practice could enable her to perform such a vast number of evolutions, varying of course according to the occasion and the stale of her feelings, and not appear to alTect her. SIib stops short and walks oH ns regular as though she had been standing or sitting all the time. In her whirling attitude she presents a very fascinating and beautiful appearance, being perfectly unique, and every thing so chaste as not to offend the taste of the most refined, or the m!t sensitive eye of mode-dy. Their concerts have been attended by very large and fashionable audiences, and the press have applauded them in terms of unmeasured praise. The Ahmt. On the Rio Grande is now assembled the largest" force wh'-.h the United States have had at one. point since the revolution twenty-one regiments of volunteers, exclusive of regulars. The head quarters are at Camargo, and the troops are moving up as fast as possible. On the löth the general head quarters were to be moved.

He soon acquired tlie confidence of Iiis new associates, by his faithfulness and honesty. lie was allowed the use of his friend's library, and made rapid progress in the acquisition of knowledge. It became necessary after a while that George should leave Mr. liallaudet, and he became apprenticed to cabinet-maker in the neighborhood.

Puritan. A Yoi'NG Traveller. We saw yesterday, says the Raltiinore Clipper, a young l.id of about fifteen years of age, named William Bordell, who had just arrived in the city from llhnois, having started in June, and travelled the whole distance on fxit, passing through Indiana, Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, following the National Road. He was on his way to New York, whore his friends resided, and which he purposes reaching in the same way. We learn that he left New York about eighteen months since, where he followed the occupation of a "news boy," and having saved a considerable sum of money determined to make a tour through the country, which he had done, on foot, and a greater part of the time alone traversing a greater portion of the Western States. Success lo him, wherever he may go. Cool Forethought. One of the most admirable instances of prudential forethought we ever heard of, occurred in ijoslon a !"ew days since. Three Irishmen were enrrnc-cd in taking down a wall in Mount Vernon street. The wall fell upon and buried them. A lady from the opposite Mtie of the street rushed out, and calling to those who were rescuing the poor fellows, I said: "Bring them in here. L'ring them in here. I have every thing ready. I have been expecting this all day." The men were carried into her house, and, run onr.,nVi cl,n ,.,1 ll..., tt.! .1.. 1! v .v,..ri.., r.. ..u tvci jr .tun- rcuuy, uauua, ; lint, laudanum, and all. If this be not an instance of coot forethought, wc know not what it is. It has been ascertained that the manna which fell in Asia Minor, in 13 10, consisted of the Lichen Uscu'enles, these having been torn from their woods in a storm, were transported through the air to the places where they fell.
