FURTHER FROM OREGON.
WiLumET Falls, Oregon, Oct 28,1844.
I arrived here on the 12th day of the present
j month, having been on the way 151 days from In-
Fr. ».i the United SttUes Journal.
THE QUESTION STATED.
ijfenncrs beticecn the United Stales, Mexico
Cnl Texas, illustrated by tbe history <f
Tom, Dick, and Harry.

riV boast'd government of equal rights and privi-
gg mf-h who afi'oet a mawkish insensibility on the sub-
T'd tH the right of tho United States to fond a onion

J "ihen is as clear as the noonday snn, through a
liwclefs atmosphere. In fact wo cannot see a
which to hang a shadow of doubt. To the
rt tlie people wo hope it is equally clear.
To those, however, who are in doubt, we cannot
F-sstnt j the subject better than by giving tho his-
p °t d-rec emigrants, who settled in the \yest
[* years ago, as it has been related to us by a
The site upon which they located was a
“intiful prairie, and they wore what, in that region,
v usually termed squatters.
Com (for we shall give them very familiar names)
out first, located his tract, and bad nude con-
improvement, before bis neighbor Dick
paaenccd even exploration. The latter, on dis-
coring the great abundance of comforts which the
t bad gathered around him, stuck his stakes and
[ sit his cabin at a reasonable distance from, but on
o same prairie, on which Tom’s plantation was
day with great professions of friendship, and saying:
“ I perceive yon are in a bad condition for this new
country, I therefore propose, if you will enter into
wrtnerehip with me in the profits of your farm, that
i will famish you a team to do your ploughing, and
will let my sons take tarns watching your premises,
to keep the wild beasts from doing mischief.” The
proposition seemed to be a plausible one and Harry
accepted it. But when ploughing time came, Dick’s
team was “engaged at home,” or had "gone to mill,”
or something else, so that he could never get it
Tom, however, lent him his for a few days, and he
planted*! part of bis gronnd without ploughing. In
a little while, as his grain had begun to grow, along
came a herd of Buffaloes, and more than half des
troyed it Then the wolvea began to devour his
sheep, and the foxes his poultry. II* repeatedly call
ed on Dick to fulfill his promise for the protection of
them, but the boys were always “too much fatigued”
or they were “in a drinking frolick,” or off gallant
ing some pretty Indian girls in tlie neighborhood.—
They could never come to the rescue. He tlicn of
fered to stand watch himself, if Dick would let him
have tlie ammunition and rifle—but “the boys had
token their arms with them” or they were “ choice
weapons,” and “could not be trusted in the hands of
any other persona.”
In this way Dick failed in the performance of his
contract, entirely—but when harvest time came,
notwithstanding the diminished produce of Harry,
he insisted upon his full proportion of what was leit.
lie would not abato a particle, and even wanted re
muneration for that which had been destroyed thro’
his own default of performance of contract.
In consequence of all this, poor Harry had hard
work to get through tho winter, and might have
starved to death, but for the generosity of his more
liberal neighbors. So the next spring, he told Dick
lie would try it alone, and that tho compact was at
an end. Tom told him ho was right in the eyes of
the law, of nature and of tied; but Dick was quite
angry, and told him ho would hold him to his origi
nal bargain, and iflie did not give him bis share of
the profits he would take it by force; and not only
that, but he would drive him from the premises.—
Harry, however, feeling conscious that ho had jus
tice on bis side, refused to yield; while Dick commen
ced the execution of his threats. He would go by
night and tear down the fences of Harry—letting
the cattle out, or beasts of prey into, his fields, and
set his sons to watching for tlie poor man, to massa
cre him, insomuch that the latter was obliged often
to keep himself shut up for weeks together. Tins
warfare was continued for eight or nine years, Har
ry still maintaining possession of his grounds often
under the most difficult circumstances. He, how
ever fonnd he was not gaining any thing in the way
of property. Half of his time, at least, was consu
med in the effort to protect tho little he had; and
the other half was little, if any, more than sufficient
to produce enough to keep soul and body together.
In tbe mean time, the matter had assumed great
notoriety. It was talked of throughout the whole
country. Every body but Dirk, felt at heart, that
Harry was a sadly persecuted man, and pronounced
Dick a groat rascal. Still, there were two or three
speculators who had got an eye upon Harry’s farm,
and wan'ed to get it, but were not willing to pay tho
full value for it; because they thought that, as he
was situatod, they could get it for a great deal less.
These were constantly stimulating Dick to continue
his persecutions of Harry, whilo to tho latter they
This was owing to the unnsnal rains that fell during
the first two months after our departure from Mis
souri.
My health is good and has been daring the whole
route. The health of the small party tbatt accom
panied me is also good. The last thousand miles
no interruption from the Indians took place, nor did
even a shower of rain fall to lay the dust.
None of the families hate ye' arrived. The fore
most are expected to reach this neighborhood in
about a week. The last range of Mountains, cal
led tho Cascades, have never been passed with
wagons. We were five days passing over this
range of mountains, and found it by far tho most
difficult and fatiguing part of the journey, both for
ourselves and our horses. The mountains extend
to within a few miles of this place. The range runs
nearly North and South. The Willamct is on tho
West side of the mountains. The Columbia breaks
through from East to West; it has a number of
dangerous passes, and two falls that cannot be pas
sed by the lightest canoe. Our families, wagons
and baggage were carried around the falls; the
portages, however, arc not lengthy.
The settlements of this Territory appear to be in
a good and prosperous condition. - Even the last
year’s emigrant's some of whom have not been more
than nine or ten months on their new farms, have
plenty for themselves, and some to spare for their
countrymen now on their way. Of bread, beef, fish
and potatoes of a superior kind, we hare plenty.
The three first mentioned articles are exported.
Tlie brig Columbia is now freighted with wheat
and flour, and will sail in a few (fays for the Sand
wich Islands. A profitable trade with the Islands is
already commenced. From ns they receive wheat,
flour, beef, pork and lumber. In retnrn, we receive
from them British, Chinese and American mannfac.
tured articles; and molusscs, sugar, coffee and rice,
the growth of the Islands.
Standing in tho door of my present lodgings, I
can count sixty-two buildings. They form tlie
present village of the city of Oregon. Timber and
lumber fay scattered about for more buildings, say
eight or ten. Several oilier villages, (ono or two of
them I havo seen,) have somiS pretentions to future
greatness, but arc quite small as yet
The Hudson Bay Company transact nearly alt
the foreign and domestic trade. The Company de
rive great profit from tlie business, and at the same
time accommodate the inhabitants of the Territory,
who are all agriculturists and mechanics, without
capital sufficient for commercial pursuits. On our
arrival we found the country dry and parched. We
havo recently had a week of warm, rainy weather.

GENERAL JACKSON’S MARRIAGE.
This event in the history of Gen. Jack-
son has been often alluded to, but the cir
cumstances attending it are very little
known—at least we nave never met with
any account of them until now. The sub
joined narrative is irom a eulogy delivered
at Natchez.
Miss Rachel Donelson, the daughter of
Col. Donelson, of Virginia, hadbeencelcbra-
ted for her gayety, affability and sweetness
of disposition. Her.father emigrated to
Tennessee, and, dying, left her an orphan.
She formed an unhappy matrimonial con
nexion with a morose, jealous and dissipated
character of the name of Roberts, who soon
abandoned her. The difficulty was, made
up, and the wedded pair cnine together a-
-ain; soon after which Andrew Jackson
ccainc a transient boarder in tlie same
hotise were Roberts and his wife were re
siding A second rupture soon occurred,
and Roberts left his wife and went to Ken
tucky. Learning that he intended return
ing and taking here there, and dreading
his inhumanity and bad treatment, she de
termined to seek an asylum in'Kntchez,
beyond his reach. Natchez was then the
Oregon of America. In the spring of 1791
she came here with Col. Starke and his
family. At the earnest request of Col.
Starke, Gen. Jackson piloted his family
through the Indian country. After his re
turn, Judge Overton communicated to him
the astounding intelligence that he was the
unconscious cause of the last separation ;
that it arose from Robert’s jealously of him
and the circumstance of his accompanying
Col. Starke, to protect his family froni the
Indians,had been seized upon by*Robertas
a ground of divorce, in a petition to tlie Vir
ginia Legislature.
The t nought that an innocent woman
was suffering so unjustly on his account
made General Jackson’s sensitive mind
most uneasy and unhappy. He immedi
ately sought but Roberts and expostulated
with him on the injustice and cruelty of his
causeless suspicion ; but the interview ended
in mutual defiances. At length news came
that the Virginia Legislature had actually
granted thcuivorce in accordance with Rob-
cri’s petition. Forthwith Andrew Jackson
hastened to Natchez, and offered his bond
and his heart to tho inooreni nnd aruinklo
woman, who had been made so unhappy
by false and unfounded accusations, lie
entile to Natchez, to give the world the
highest evidence he could give of licr in
nocence.
Although free to form a new connexion,
Mrs. Roberts declined the proffered offer.—
Rut Andrew Jackson was not to be outdone.
He addressed her in the language of Rulh

A few days ago my friend Ben Jussuf in
vited me to go with him to his house. I,
of course, seized with joy this opportunity
of seeing him in his domestic circle.
• m at the door, which is inva-
nably kept shut by day and by night in all
Arab houses; a women shortly appeared
and inquired who was there; at Ben Jus-
suf’s answer the door was opened, but when
the woman saw me with her husband sho
instantly concealed her face, and was a-
bout to run away; my friend, however,
commanded her to remain. She was his
wife, and besides her he had-two others,
who were seated cross-legged in thc.court,
one of them grinding corn in a hand-iuili,
the ether combing the hair of n boy about
i C i 0r 8 * x y cnrs old; I should have guess
ed them all three to be at least forty, but
Hen Jussuf assured me that they were all
under five-and-twenty ; their faces and fig
ures were withered, and tlie bloom of youth *
quite gone, their eyes alone still retained
their fire. At twenty, the Arab women *
begin to fade, and at thirty they are old
matrons.
They all seemed to live in perfect har
mony, and tho manner of the women to
wards their lord and master was obliging
even to servility. Tojudge by appearances
it must be easier to keep house with three
wives than with one; perhaps the rule “di
et* et impera” holds good in love as well
asm polities. I must, however, confess,
tpat I do not envy the Mahomerian gentle
men their frigid joyp, nor do they seem to
find much satisfaction in them themselves.
The women here are mere slaves; of that
chivalrous homage paid by the Spanish
Moors to their women no traces arc left save
in the songs and poems of the Arabs.
The children arc educated by women
up to their seventh year; on reaching that
age the boy is put in possession of a per-
tiousc and a pony, and is no longer allowed
to eat with the women; should his fa
ther be away, he has supreme authority
over the whole household, not excepting
his own mother.
The manner of arranging a marriage is
simple among the Arabs. A man takes a
sum of money or any article of value, and
oilers it to whomsoever he happens to meet-
with, saying, “Comrade ! i hear you havo
a marriageable daughter, give her tome as
:» wife and take this ns a marriage gift.”
tribe oilier minks tne ntaten a ‘sm'raoto
one, he replies, “Yes: here she is, take her
with voti;” nnd the marriage is concluded.
The rather must, however, warrant her to
be a maid ; and if the husband finds she is
not he lakes her home next morning and
demands his present back again.
MAMMOTH REMAINS.
A correspondent of the Albany Argus,
were continually making grcnt professions of sympa-! composure as you in Wisconsin talk of removing
thy on account of bis sufferings. It is generally to Indiana or Michigan.
thought that if it had not been for the conrse of these j Almost tho first man I met on my arrival was J.
“ sharks,” as they are termed in tho local phrase of! M. Woir, formerly of Indiana, who served with roe
that country, tho difficulty would havo been settledj in the Ranges. I also heard of Lancaster Clyman,
in an equitable manner much sooner, and Harry who is married and settled some 40 or 50 miles up
would have been in the quiet possession and profita
ble occupancy of his own premises.
Things, however, continuing in this unpleasant
way, and the prospect for a speedy termination of
tha difficulties being very dubious; and moreover, it
being clear to Tom, that tho said “sharks,” or spec
ulators, would not be very welcome neighbors, he
met Harry one day, and says to him, “ suppose you
and I try a partnership—I have got land enough, and
do not want any of yours, nor the profits ot it provi
ded you will keep it in your own possession. I will
help you to take down the line fence between yon

Yon recollect tho large stories wo used to hear
respecting the immense size and height of timber in
this country. The largest timber I have seen fa an
evergreen of the fir kind. One treo that I measured
a few days since fa six feet four inches in diameter;
and 268 feet long. Tho tree was felled with an axe
fast summer. The fir is only two kinds, white and
red; both good for timber and lumber, and general
ly g p|ita easy, making tbe neatest rail fences I liave
ever seen; it has the appearance of being durable.

era are busily employed, it having bees heretofore
too dry to sprout the grain. The fanterean sow

reaping a-fair compensation far his labor. The

ARAB WOMEN.
The fair sex is not altogether fair here,
at least in niv opinion. No oue can deny
that the Arab women have graceful figures
and regular features, but they want those
essential requisites of beauty—u soul and
individual expression. They are all exact
ly alike, and their faces express but two
passions—love and hale ; all nicer shades
of feeling are wanting. How, indeed,
would it do possible for. them to acauire in
tellectual or bodily cultivation, when the
greater part of their time is spent seated
cross-legged grinding corn in a handntil),
or asleep 1
Tho married women are seldom qeen out
of their bouses, and then only closely veil
ed. The young girls, on the contrary, are
to be found every morning at sunrise out
side the gate of the town, standing by the
fountain,at which they assemble with stone
jars on their shoulders, to fetch water for
the day’s consumption. This truly eastern
scene calls to mind Rebecca at the well,
drawing water for her father’s flocks.
If a stranger nsks a daughter of the town
for a draught of water (ofma), the maiden
reaches him the jar with a kindly nod ; but
when he has slaked his thirst sho pours a-
way the remainder of the water, for the lips
of the infidel have polluted it.
The Arab women wear a whilw woollen
garment confined under the breast by a gir-
ble, and n white cloth twisted round the
head. Their ornaments generally consist
in ring* in their cars and on tbeir ankles,
which are invariably naked
writing front New burg, gives an interesting
description of the discovery and exhuma
tion of the remains of an immense Masto-.
don found during the last week, about six *
miles from that Town : An idea of the sizo
of the monster may be formed, when wo
state that the skullalone weighs sevenhun-
dred pounds. The tusks are over nine feet
long. Across the hip bones lie measures
about seven feet. Tne position of the ani
mal at death, was clearly discernable. Ho
had evidently become aired and had settled
down on hisnnunehes, with his fore legs
spread out, and in this posture he was
found. Under the vertebrea, the contents
of his stomach were found to the amount
of several bushels, and consisted of leaves,
twigs and fragments of the branches of trees
crounchcd arid broken up. As the remains
were found imbedded in shell marl, all this
wns entirely evident.
This is the fourth skeleton of the mam
moth that has been discovered in that
count), but while nil the others have been
imperfect (many of the bones never having
been found, this one is entire, every bofie
having been found, even to the small bones
of the feel and tail, and in a complete stale
of preservation; the enamel on the teeth
being ns perfect a* if in the mouth of a liv
ing animal.
“BOLD AS A LION.”
One of the best jokes of the season is
told by the amiable Goines, of tonsorial no
toriety. A Southern Adonis, no way cel
ebrated for his personal attractions, on com
pleting a somewhat protracted toilet one
morning turned to his servant and inquired:
‘How do I look Cesar?
‘Plendid, massn, plendid,’ was ebonyV
delightful answer.
‘Do yon think I’ll do, Cesar V giving
