FROffi OREGON! THE MESSAGE OF GEN. LANE! To the Territorial Legislature. LETTER FROM JUDGE" BRYANT ! INTERESTING INTELLIGENCE !

Orego.x City, August ISth, 1849. To the Editors of the Indiana State Sentinel: Enclosed I send you the message of our mutual friend, Gov. Lane, to the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Oregon. This document, as well as all the Governer's official acts, shows the good sense, and I may add, the good heart of the man, and is well received here by the citizens, and assembly. The Governor is very prompt in defending the Indians in their fisheries and other rights, essential to their comfort aud subsistence, and on the other hand exacts from them more respect to the rights of our citizens than one not accustomed to them would suppose them capable of yielding. We have had no late difficulties with them, and I believe his policy wi!l secure us against any future difficulty. The Governor is almost constantly engaged in hearing their petty grievances, and redressing them in a plain and summary way, that makes them pay respect to the rights of one another-) and abstain from depredations upon the citizens. Our leg islature is in session. Thev are men of good sense, and well understand the wants of the Deople of the Territory. Several of them have filled important stations in the State3, and Col. Chapman was once a delegate in Congress from Iowa. The courts in my district are in session. Last week I held court in Linn county, in this, in Champoeg, and next week will hold court in Clackamus, and week after in Vancouver, which will end my circuit. Judge Pratt's circuit will commence 1st Monday in September. I found but little business to do. The Grand Jury found four or five indictments for small offences, such as hog stealing, and stealing horses from the Indians, &c, in Champoeg. Such things will happen at first, but I think, judging from the mass of the citizens, who are mainly very orderly and honest, that these lawless characters will not long remain amongst us. I was up this, the Willamette valley, as far as the Calapooa settlements. I never saw a richer valley of land, and the mountain scenery is captivating. The health of the country is good, and the harvest is abundant. This is the greatest country for wheat on the continent. I have never seen finer wheat grow than we have this year in Oregon, not near all of which will be saved for the want of laborers. The ordinary wages for laborers in the harvest field is $6 per day to each man. Every kind of labor commands nearly any price asked for it, The packers, in advance of the emigration, arrived to-day. They report 8,000 wagons on the road ; about 2,000 bound for this Territory, the residue for California. The cholera had been fatal out from Missouri to Blue River, about 400 miles ; about 700 deaths, and had abated ; but there was much sickness of fevers among the emigrants, and some deaths. We anticipate much sickness and distress among the land emigration. The packers are of opinion that they are rushing and pressing their cattle so hard in order to get out to the mines, that they will break them down. I hope there will not be sufficient emigration come here to make us a famine. Our people are returning from California every day with large sums of gold, the product of the mines. It will surprise you I dare tay to learn the trade of the Columbia River this year, in comparison with what it has heretofore been. I have before me a statement showing the arrivals and departures of vessels coming in and going out with freight over the Columbia Bar which has heretofore been considered impassable. Since the 7th of May, ships of every size, from forty tons to seven hundred tons burthen, amounting to fifty-eight up to the ISth of this month, and not a single accident of a serious character, has happened. If the twentieth part of the protection was given to the trade of this river that is extended to the mouth of the rivers in the States, the Columbia would be found to be a much better bar than that of most rivers in ihe States of its size. The lumber trade of this river i3 quite an important trade ; so of the wheat and flour. The Legislature were this evening engaged in devising means to alleviate the suffering of the emigrants. Many of them will not be able to get through, it is believed, with the best assistance we can give them. We have no paper published in this Territory, and I cannot furnish you with a printed copy of the Governor's message. He is quite well ; left here this morning for the Umpqua valley, accompanied by Lieut. Talbert, with an escort, to examine Alcie's Bay, and to see the Indians of that part of the Territory. It turns out that there are several good harbors on the cOast below the mouth of the Columbia river, although it has heretofore been reported an iron-bound coast. Yours, truly, WM P. BRYANT. GEN. LANE'S MESSAGE. Fellow Citizens of the Council, And of the House, of Representatives : It affords me pleasure to tender to you coy friendly greeting, on the occasion of your assembling at the seat of Government, for the first time, under the law of Congress To establish the Territorial Government of Oregon," to enter upon the discharge of the important duties to which you have been calJed by the voice of your constituents. The task devolves on me, to propose such measures, as have in the discharge of my official duties, suggested themselves asnecesary, to promote the interest and welfare of the Territory. In communicating with you for the first time, it ia a source of unfeigned satisfaction, calling for mutual gratulations and devout thanks to a benign Providence, that we are in the enjoyment of general good health, and prosperity, and that we are at peace with the numerous tribes of Indians surrounding u.. Widely separated and exposed a are our people, by reason of the great extent of country over which they are scattered, peace and harmony with the natives is of vital importance to the $ecurity,and success of our settlements. The well being of the inhabitants of Oregon, no less than the cause of humani

ty requires that we should always encourage relations of the most friendly character with our red brethren. The Cayuse nation remain unpunished for the massacre at Wallaiitpue, but the whole tribe will be held responsible until those, whoever they may be, concerned in that melancholy and horrible afTair are given up for punishment. A fine regiment of troops commanded by officers who have distinguished themselves in the service of their country are en route for Oregon and may be expected to arrive by the middle of September. It will then be in the power of the government to make this tribe accountable for their wrong doing, and I can assure you that our government will not suffer the guilty to go unpunished. A party of the Sliey-wamish and Snogualimick tribes recently made an attack on the Hudson's Bay Company's Fort atNesqually, in which difficulty an American citizen was unfortunately killed. I shall hold these tribes accountable until the guilty shall have been punished. It is the intention -of the gallant officer in command of the forces now in Oregon to establish a garrison of one company on Puget's Sound for the protection of the settlements in that quarter, so that no apprehension of any further outrage in that section need be entertained. I had the gratification while on a visit to the Falls of the Columbia, to bring about a peace, at the request of the chief of the Yachamans, between that tribe and the Walla-Wallas who were at that time engaged in war. These tribes as also the tribes that I visited on the Cowlity and Puget's Sound, I was pleased to find friendly towards us, and as well as the tribes bordering the settlements on the Willamette and Columbia, anxious to sell their possessory rights to the soil. Surrounded as many of the tribes and bands now are by the whites, whose arts of civilization, by destroying the resources of the Indians, doom them to poverty, want and crime, the extinguishment of their title by purchase, and the locating them in a district removed from the settlements, is a measure of most vital inportance to them. Indeed the cause of humanity calls loudly for their removal from causes and influences so fatal to their existence. This measure is one of equal interest to our own people. I would therefore call your attention to the propriety of memorializing congress upon this interesting subject. We can recognize in Oregon, the material of her future greatness; a climate and a soil extraordinarily productive eminently characterize it. The prolific growth of grain, vegetables and grapes; the natural meadows, untouched by the hand of cultivation, sufficiently extensive to furnish subsistence to innumerable herds of cattle, during the entire year; inexhaustible forests of the finest fir and cedar in the world; never failing streams which furnish water power of unlimited capacity, show how lavishly nature has bestowed her blessings upon this favored land. With the proper development of her agricultural resources, and the improvement of her immense water power, she can supply the entire pacific coast with the most important of the necessaries of life and many of the staple articles of commerce. Her immense resources are gradually but surely being developed; her mineral wealth, at present, is not to be computed; gold has been found in several places, in sufficient quantity to induce the belief that there-are mines, perhaps extensive ones, of this precious metal within the borders of our territory; iron, lead and coal are known to exist, and the indications of their abundance are of the most flattering description. The Columbia is the only great river on the Pacific slope -of our continent which leads from the ocean to the Rocky Mountains, by which a line of communication can be opened to the great valley of the Mississippi. The navigation from its mouth to the cascades, a distance of nearly one hundred and fifty miles, is- uninterrupted for vessels of the largest class. These obstructions, and those beyond, may be surmounted in a considerable degree by canals and locks. The importance of this immense line of interior communication, cannot fail ultimately to secure for it the fostering hand of the general government. It is a source of great gratification to know that the entrance of the mouth of the Columbia is much less dangerous than has heretofore been generally supposed. Many vessels, some of them large ships, drawing from twelve to sixteen feet of water, have, during the present year, crossed the bar, arriving and departing without the aid of pilots, light-houses, or buoys; and not a single accident ha3 occurred to intercept the facility of navigation during the present year.' It affords me much pleasure to give the subjoined extract of a letter from Captain Wood, of the United States steamer Massachusetts, as such testimonials will have a tendency to disabuse the public mind and remove the prejudices unfortunately existing against the mouth of this noble river. Having waited until about 4 P. M., and seeing no indications that our signal for a pilot had been observed, I stood in, followed the directions I obtained in New York of Capt. R. Gelston, who was here last year in the Barque Whitton, proceeding safely and without accident to anchorage in Baker's bay. There was no one onboard the ship who had ever been here before. From what I saw, it seems to me that if the channel was properly buoyed, and 'there was a competent pilot stationed at the cape- to conduct vessels in, that the entrance of the river would lose its horrors, and in ordinary circumstances be considered safe and easily accessible." Congress has' made an appropriation for the erection of Iteht-houses at Cape Disappointment and New Dungeness, and for the construction of buoys to iudicate the channels at the mouth of the Columbia and t!e approaches to Astoria. This appropriation, it is to be feared, will be inadequate, in consequence of the high price of labor, occasioned by our proximity to the gold mines of California. I would therefore respectfully advise you to memorialize. Cuiigre on the subject, acquainting that body with nil the circumstances and facts of the case, and showing that the early completion of these contemplated improvements are of vital interest to the territory. Puget's Sound is known to be one of the

safest and best harbors in the world. It privilege, to call your attention to the deepaffords fine ship navigation into a beautiful ly interesting subject of education. The and important portion of our country. law of Congress provides that when the I I refrain from dwelling further upon to- lands of the Territory shall be surveyed unpics so interesting as the features and re- der the direction of the government of the jsources of the country, conscious, a I am, United States, preparatory to bringing them

mal uijr iccuic aiicajj.il ui jciiiicuic ii.eiii is t entirely inadequate to do them justice. I am happy to know that many of our1 people who have been to the mines, are re-J turning to their homes and farms, and it is to be hoped, are satisfied and determined to ; remain and renew their farming and other occupations, ine gold excitement occasionel the absence of a large part of our laboring population; many of them had failed to put in crops; fine farms are lying idle; consequently, this year, the crops will fall short of an average one. But there is no doubt that Avith the grain on hand, there will be a sufficient supply for home con sumption. We have good reason to believe that the extraordinary emigration to California, in consequence of the gold mines will iu a short time result in adding so largely to our numbers, that oar population, now only about nine thousand, will be doubled in the next twelve months. The healthy climate, rich and beautiful vallies of Oregon, will doubtless induce many of. them to seek a permanent home amongst us. She will thus be benefitted by those mines equally with her sister territory. It is estimated that upwards of two millions of' dollars in gold dust have been brought into Oregon since their discovery. This new element of prosperity, invested in agricultural and other branches of industry, must have a most cheering effect upon the prosperity of the country. It should, how ever, r.r.vays be borne in mind that the wealth of a country does not consist so much in dollars and cents as in the number, virtue, intelligence and patriotism of her population; in cultivated fields, flocks and herds, and those facilities natural and artifi cial which afford an easy and certain market for its surplus production. From the best information I have been able to gather, from estimates and otherwise, the expense of the late Cayuse war may be set down at about one hundred and ninety thousand dollars. This indebtedness has borne heavily on many individuals who ad - vanced money to the provisional govern ment, some of whom borrowed money for

making so liberal a donation for this pur pose, is a ground for gratelul acknowledg ment, and indicates an enlightened policy, which looks to the general d illusion of knowledge, as the surest guarantee for the continuance of good government, and the substantial happiness of our people. In this grant we shall have the means of promoting a system of common schools for the education of all the children of the Territory. Your attention is invited , to the, import ance of adopting a system of common schools and providing the means of putting them in immediate operation ; and when the land becomes available, the system may un der wise legislation, be maintained and continued, without bearing onerously upon the people, and ultimately be productive of the end in view, when the gift was made. With a system of general education, sustained by such resources, there is no reason to doubt that in the course of a few years, the risim generation of Oregon will proudly vie in re spect to useful knowledge and moral culture, with that of the older settled portions of our common country. The organization of the militia is a mea sure so identified with the peace, security and defence of our people, that it cannot fail to recommend itself to your early considera tion. Your attention is invited to the act entitled, "An act to prevent the introduction of fire arms amonrrst the Indians." This law not only prevents the introduction of fire arms, but prohibits the sale of powder and ball, to the Indian, thereby depriving him in a great measure of the means of procuring subsistence, and if strictly enforced, would produce much suffering among this unfortunate race of people. Humanity re quires that we should afford them every facility that we can safely do to ameliorate their condition. It is well known that the tribes bordering the settlements are friendly - and well disposed towards us, and that there is no danger to be apprehended from them by placing in their hands the means of proo j - therefore recommend the repeal of the law, or its modification, so as to discriminate between friends and enemies. It will be your duty by enactment to fix the seat of government at the present or! some subsequent session of the Legislative; wish for the adoption of such measures as! will tend to the general welfare, prosperity, and happiness of our people.
