Thai the continuation of this state of society has an advantageous influence upon the character of our people, we have no doubt. It infuses into their nature a bold and rugged energy which a high state of civilation seems to destroy. It is therefore with us society becoming constantly rejuvenated, as it were, by the blood of youth being trasferred into the veins of old age.— When there shall be no longer a. new country to populate, no longer a frontier life to be led, there will be lost to us an element of character which no pogress in refinement

f&v-K The New License Law." ••^-•^•^4 ThU law is now in force. The townships at th« April election will vote "licence or no licence." The iaction of the people at the ballot box will determine whether retail shops shall be licensed or hot. This provision of law, many contend, is unconstitutional, because the operation of the act will not depend on the action of the General Assembly, but the people! of the several wtvnships that the law will not be uniform in its operation in some districts licenses will be granted and in others denied. Theso are questions which belong alone to the judiciary. The Supreme Court must decide: and we trust that speedy measures may be taken to test this question at once. So long as doubt exist, the law cannot and will not be exccuted. with that fidelity which should marko the enforcement of all legislative enactments. There are many features in the law, that are Pemocrtaic. If a majority are in favor of drinking saloons and dram shops they will be licensed, under the restrictions of the law.

We hope that all parlies will settle down in the detnnination to give the law a fair trial. If it Is constitutional, let it be enforced, rigidly enforced. In the mean time we hope our temperance friends will be satisfied to give the act a fair trial, and not urge the Maine law, until the efficiency of the present one is fully tested. By this course this vexed question of temperance will be taken out of the political arena, and left to the action of the moral influence of the country. [Stale Sentinel

'•••T The Law of Indiana. We have observed in many of our exchanges aftstatement '.hat the late general assembly passed an act declaring that the laws of the session of 1852-53 should go in operstion on the first day of June, 1853. This is a mistake. Such a bill wa9 introduced but failed to pass. All laws go into effect after their distribution in the several counties. The Revised Statutes of 1853 are now being distributed as' fast as they are bound, and sent to the Judicial circuits fartherest from Indianapolis first.—Stale Sentinel.

===== Letter from Oregon.

With-

LINN COUNTY, OREGON TERRITORY. } Jan. 21st 1853.}

SIR: You have no doubt been waiting with much anxiety to hear from us; when I wrote to you last, we were at Fort Larramie [sic], and as I have since heard that there was a report, in circulation throughout the country that we were all destroyed, shortly after leaving the Fort, which report was wholly untrue. Immediately after leaving the above place, grass became very scarce, and we frequently had to drive from three to five miles io obtain it—we had some sickness in the mountains, and were detained some on this account. I had a severe attack of the flux, accompanied by the mountain fever, and John had a spell of the same fever. On

MR. NEWMAN, the gentleman who left Terre-Haute with us, died on Platt [sic] River, about 300 miles from Council Bluffs; his family had some sickness, but all got through, with the loss of one wagon and some of their cattle. She has settled in Linn county, about eight miles east of us.

But, I have not yet told you any thing in regard to the country, and, in truth, I hardly know what to tell you. There is, however, but a small portion of Oregon fit for anything; the valleys are rich and produce well; the principal timber is pine, fir, and cedar, balm of gilead grows here and is sometimes found from three to four feet in diameter. The Territory lying east of the Cascade Mountains is worth but little, being mostly a barran [sic] waste, with the exception of the Grand Round and now and then a small strips [sic] lying along valleys of Powder and Umalillo [sic] Rivers. The water courses of Oregon are worth but little in point of navigation, but affords great facilities for manufacturing purposes. I have seen no timber here as large as I expected to see. The grass of Oregon is far superior to that of the States; cattle here are doing well without feeding. In a few weeks after we reached the Territory the rainy season commenced and during the month of Dec., it rained almost constant. A few weeks ago the snow fell in the valley to the depth of one foot, and remained for eight or ten days, during which time fears were entertained in regard to stock, as farmers here make no preparations for wintering their stock; we also learn that the cattle left by the emigrants on the east side of the Mountains were lost during the snow storm. Emigrants have rather a hard time to get along —flour is 18 cts. per pound, and on the rise; pork not to be bought; Beef, 8@10 cts. per pound; Groceries of all kinds are high and scarce. Wheat can hardly be had at any price. I cannot reccommend [sic] the industry of the farmers of Oregon, most of them have been to the Mines and made their pile, and this is the principle reason why other matters are neglected. We have setled in Lion county, 10 miles east of Albany our land is part limber and part prairie; the best claims in Oregon are taken, yet there is still a good deal of vacant land.— I believe I have given you the news, but I must not neglect to state that we were not disturbed by the Indians, they were friendly and peaceable. You will perhaps want to know if there is money to be made in Oregon

in answer to this I would say that money is plenty, and I do not see anything to hinder

Bear River we got our cattle poisoned, two of them died, and three others were not fit for service for some time; this accident came very near breaking us up—we, however reached Fort Hull [sic]the 4th of August. Here we lost another steer and were compelled to exchange one of our wagons, and get a lighter one. After leaving the Fort we began to descend Snake River, here we found almost no grass our cattle began to give out, we frequently passed 15 or 20 dead cattle in a day and the stench thus arrising [sic] is thought by some to be the cause of so much sickness. Owing to the failure of our cattle we were soon compelled to throw away or trade to the Indians such things as we could not coveniently [sic] haul, we crossed Snake River at the Salmon Falls, shortly after crossing, Mary Ann, was taken sick with something like the Cholera Morbus, we used all the means in our power, for her recovery, and succeeded in getting a physician, but his efforts to save her were fruitless, she died on the 29th of August, near hot springs, between the two crossings of Snake River. The next day afteir Mother took the same disease, and was reduced so low that she became quite dangerous—and at the time of Mary's burial, was not able to follow her to the grave. This you know was a severe trial, to bury our only sister, far from friends or relatives, and far from civilization, but we must submit all to Him, in whose hand are our destinies. We reached Fort Boyce [sic] on the 4th of September, here we again crossed Snake River, and here we had to dispose of a few of our cattle that were unable to proceed any farther. Provisions now became very scarce, and nothing could be procured at the fort, save a little sugar and coffee at an extravagant price; and many families suffered exceedingly for the necessaries of life—and this, I doubt not is the cause of much of the sickness on the latter part of the journey. We got plenty of beef at the Grand Round, at 25 cts per pound this valley you have no doubt heard recommended highly, but I do not admire it much. It is surrounded by almost impassable mountains and but little timber in the valley although the surrounding mountains are covered with lofty pine, we reached the Dalls [sic] on the 6th of October, with one wagon and nine head of cattle: on reaching the above place, our cattle were so reduced as not be able to cross the mountains, with the family and plunder, we thereford unloaded and shipped the family [and] our effects, while James, John, and myself attempted to cross the mountains with the empty wagon but our team entirely failed and we left them near the Dalls and went to the valley on foot.

THE URSULINE CONVENT.—For several years past the proprietors of the Ursuline Convent in Somerville, Mass., which was burned and sacked by a mob in 1834. have urgently petitioned the State legislature to indemnify them tor the property thus destroyed, but without success. 'We see. however,'at tl^ present session of the Massachusetts legislature, a special committee on the petition have reported in favor of the application. The report is accompanied by a bill, providing for the appointment of a Board of Commissioners to hear all claims, and award to each claimant the actual loss incurred.

From the CosyrtyaftWif Batten) Jan. 7, Almost every clergyman wishes to take some one good secular paper. Many, who have been continually offended with Its tfnlveraalist and Socialist tendencies, hfre taken the New York Weekly Tribune, on accouut of the low price at which it has been afforded, and the excellence of its n?ws department, its report of lectures, and its forega correspondence. We are prepared, however, after a year of personal experieuoe, to recommend the NKW YORK WeaKt.r TIMKS, ASRTF cheaptft, und bp far tit bt*t tecuimr journal within th* cirtlc of our k*otcled$e for the UN of well informed clergymen who desire to be kept acquainted with What is passing In the secular world, to gvt a glimpse at what is weekly interesting the great commercial emporium of our nation and who wish also to bo read in literary and other foreign mutters. It ha* all the freshness and vlraclty of the Tribune, without the taint of transcendental cant which pervades that journal, while its discus-! slous of current topics arc manly and common sense Ita political essays conceived in spirit of honor aud integrity its Congressional summary as readable as auy veracious history of the proceedings ol that remarkably stupid body can be expected to be made, and its foreign correspondence racy and reliable. So far as It manifests any religious leanings, they are rather toward, than away from that system of truth which we accept and lore aud its moral tone is higher and purer than Is usual among Us brethren of tbe strictly secular press. Its sire is the most oonvenient for family readiugand as next to no advertisements at all are admitted, iu weekly amount of matter is very large. Wehavokept** file of It for tho past year, which wo value verv much fer reference, and we are qnite sure that no man who has read it during the pant year will be willing to do without it ihe next. Ono Dollar from clergymen, (two dollars being its regular price to the community at large,) sent to the NEW YORK WKKKI.Y TIMKS, in a prepaid envelope, containing one's address, will secure it for tho current year. We have made these remarks simply for the benefit of our clerical readers, and without any interested motive, as will appear when we remark that we do not even enjoy the privilege of an exchange with the Times, but have bought It and paid for it, bu cause it was worth tho moivy to us.

From Ihe LouueiUt (Kentucky) Jour it *1. The New York Dnily Times.—This wliwIJw paper commenced its socond volume »a the i^»b iust., and wo are happy to say that its stccess litv« been so great that the proprietors have boon compelled to Increase the size of the sheet tdouble ia* original dimensions. It is one of the ablest p*per» in tho Uuited Stales, and we know of no Easteru paper better suited for the family clrnlo. Its new* is always complete, its essays ol a high older,and its literary selections of the best description. TW Editor, H. J. RAYMOND, F.sq., Is one of the ablaut writers lor the daily press In all the SiatA of NewYork, und i* in every way worthy of the rich pf#sperlty Ihut has rewarded his labors.

To those who wish nn able N «w York City per, we hearlily commend the Dully Times as MW» that quunot fail lo givo satisfaction, IN a couiiuereifil, political, or literary newspaper. VV'e know o«' daily paper that gives a greater amount ol iiitrt*iHing reading matter than tho New York Tim-H, IWI it Is furnished to mail subscrlltern ai Jior ttilti»r* per annum, and we do not know how fivo dollar* uan be better invested.

We congratulate Mr. RAVMONU, of ihe N. Yirk Times, unon the signal success tlut be his not onJ deserved but commanded. Floods of cilu.iniy b.net the infancy of his enterprise, but amidst iixjwwi charges of abolitionism, and the most powerful epposition, Mr. RAVMO.ND steadily pursued a sir il^lht forward course, and fairly won h!. *neivs- lie a bold defender of the right, at all tint *, in I isturw unflinching denouncer of wrong. Wneu he choose* to play the essayist, ho handles pen that might Itavo adorned tho Spectator in AHOISON'S diuW-t days.

From the liujfulv Commercial .\tt?rliitr. Wo have been waiting some time for on ellglblit opportunity to say a few words respecting the NewYork Daily Times. It is about tin* be*t-writtei» paper iu the country, and iu point of lnlellociii«t labor, copiousness of iuforrnutiou, general aud comprehensive ability, and the power of haudling gracefully snd with fine effect large variety of subjects, it Is wlthont precedent or compeer i«i American journalism. It comes nearer So our Ideal of an American newspaper lhau anything before undertaken on this Continent.

From the Great Harrington Vust.) Courier., The New York I.i 11 Timrm.—Tills very able journal is fast taking the load in the estimation of our community, snd, we presume ulso, In that of other porti n* of the eonntry, as the most sounds conservative, and reliable organ which the party and tits Union require at this particular 'juncture of our affairs. For political and literary essays,for editorial matter, for the news of tho day, etc., etc., it stands unrivalled. It Is now only about two years old, but though an infunt, it is yetaglant in strsngth aud intellect. Many of our eiiUr-ns feel that they muat have a city paper, and to all such we would say, by all means subscribe for the New York Daily or Weekly Times. We shall, as opportunity may nffUr. Ha what we can to extend the ciicutalion and. proinpt? ^ie interests of this invaluable journal.,

From Ihe Vermont Ftcemnn.

We have no hesitation in saying that, In condensation,- iu the vast amount and variety of tbe matter brought out In each number, and In the taste and discrimination exhibited, the Times Is. as a newspaper, thus far, one of ^.vtrg M„ Jn the States. y.v:

From the Philadelphia North American. The Tiacs is by far the cheapest, ablest, and most enlightened paper of lla class in the United States. And it Would not be going too far to say that there are very few public joaraals, of any data or character, here or elsewhere, which combine more talent, spirit, cultivation, and resources than this aew enterprise. There Is no cheap press la any country which surpasses it id excellence and in all the branches of knowledge, usefulness, aad me?lt, It is vastly superior lo the great mass of those priuls which have, by a sort of general indifference to real worth, become popular and profitable. We hope to see the Times supplanting certain sheets which have acquired a notoriety, at home and abroad, wholly discreditable to tbe taste and intelligence of the American people.

Ia additiea to the striking merits of the varioos editorial bureaux of the Times, which are all under tbe charge of man of practical ability. It has a foreign correspondence extending through tbt principal capital* of Europe, which give It groat interest aad we happen te know that the commercial department of the paper is under the control of a gentleman of large experience in financial and mercantile afitfrs, aad who is both well qualified and. reliable. We commend the Times to tfae favor of this community, as ooe of the very beat uewspepera of the day and aa such, entirely entitled to Its,, psrtlslity sad confidence,
