Thus another State takes its place in the constellation of the American republic. THE ADVANTAGES OF OREGON. Of the mutual advantage which will result from the admission of Oregon into the Union there cannot be the slightest question, She is destined yet to be the New England of the West. She has plenty of water power, Jumber and fisheries, and, should the gold discoveries of Fraser river and Washington not draw off the emigration, Will be settled rapidly, and before Washington. Tho territorial extent of Oregon at present has an area of 185,030 square miles, and is bounded on the north by Wasbington ‘Territory, east by the Rocky Mountains, south by Utah and California, and west by the Pacific. It is 750 miles in length and 250 in width. It formerly had the additional area of Washington Territory, which was cut out of it, amounting to 123,022 square miles. Tho new State is divided into three portion8s—the upper coun- try, between the Blue and Rocky Mountains, the middle country, extending from the Blue to the Cascade Moun- tains, and the lower country adjoining the ocean. It has large agricultural and mineral advanteges, which have never yet been developed, and, according to the message of the Governor last July, is well worthy of beinga State of this Union. Hear what the Governor says Oregon is prodably one of the most attractive portions of the North American continent, st once beautiful and picturesque, with a healthy and salubrious climate, well adapted to the pro: duction of all the cereals and most ot the other grains common to the United States ; a seaboard of some three hundred miles with numerous harbors and inexhausuble fisher deudicient to supply three miltions of soula bread on agra suillcient io supply twice that uumber with mente; razib) Hobaily no country better adapted to the produ tion of wool fax and hemp, nud it is nduitted that Oregon excels in he growth of fruit; her monntains are covered with the tinest 0 timber and wnderiaid with gold, and recent discoveries show that we are not without a goodly supply of lime and coal ; be sirestos atlord some ot the best water privileges in the world and ber rivera are vavigable for steamboats at ali tines of th year. Oregon ought and might be an extensive exporting country, (yet, on the contrary, she imports many articles the might be manufactured in the country,) thereby increasing be prosperity, growth ard importance.” When our people be ome a mabufacturing people, when they produce those arth cles of necessity for which they are so eminentiy capable, when our exporta shal! equal or overbalance our imports, then, and not until then, wil! Oregon become truly great, Surely this is a flattering picture, Four powerful pations have, at various times, claimed dominion over Oregon—Spain, Russia, Great Britain and the United States; and now that we are quietly in undis- puted possession, it is no wonder that the transition ffom a Territory to a State excites a lively interest. According to the rule of our rapid progression Pacifieward, it may pot be many years before the New England of our Pacific empire will testify to the prophetic prediction of the New York Heratp, The question of organizing the Territory of Oregon as a State was before the people of that Territory for three years, and in June, 1857, it was decided by a Inrgo majo- rity to apply for admiesion into the Union. The constitu- tion was submitted to the people and affirmed in Decem- her, 1857, A State government was at once organized, and an election for Senators for the State and a Congres. pional repregentative, as soon as ehe should be admitted, was entered upon, This resulted in the election of Gen. Joseph Lane and Delazon (commonly called Delusion) Smith as Senators, and Lafayette Grover as Congrestion- al delegate, who is now entitled to take his seatin the Houge as representative from the sovereign State of Ore- BEETCHRS OF THE SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS. GENERAL JOSEP LANE, Gen, Lane was born in North Carolina, and went to Ken” tucky with his parents, spending the greater part of his time until his emigration to Indiana in the position of wood chopper and boatman on the Ohio, whore he was a great favorite, and was universally known as “Honest Joe Lane.” He soon realized enough to bay a farm at Evansville, Indiana, where he was soon buried in politics, and was for # series of years a representative in the State halls of legislation, During the war with Mexico he en- listed as a private, rose to the rank of Colovel, and was finally chosen Brigadier General of the State of Indiana, He won high honors during the war, and General Taylor, in reporting him as slightly wounded after the battle of Buena Vista, gave the addition, ‘ Behaved gallantly be- fore the euemy.”’ He raised the siege of Puebla, and fought his way to Mexico city, and almost captured Santa Anpa at Orizaba, besides numerous other engagements in which his valor always told. He was styled by the army 4 the Marion of Mexico,” He returned home at the close of the war, and afterwards served a tecm as Governor of Oregon, SENATOR DELAZON SMITH, ‘The Hon. Delazon Smith was born in New Berlin, Che nango county, in the Stato of New York. In the year 1834 Senator Smith became a student at tho Oberlin Collegiate Institute, in Ohio, where be remained until the spring of 1837, when, becoming diegusted with the fanaticism and abolitionism of that black concern, against which he con- stantly warred, he withdrew, and published a pamphlet entitled “Oberlin Unmasked,” in which he exposed an denounced the disunion sentiments and tendencies, and the negro stealing and negro worehippiag characteristics 0 his Alma Mater. Aiter leaving this institution Senator Smith commence the study of law. About the same period he became con- nected with the newspaper press. In 1836-7 he wrote for the press in Obio. In 1838 he became associated with the periodical press of Rochester, in the State of New York In the memorable campaign of 1840, Smith edited a campaign paper, mt Rochester, called the Zhu: fersoniam, at the masthead of which flew the names of ‘Van Buren and Johnson. In the meantime Mr. 8. can- syassed, with marked ability and success, five States of Union. ee fall of 1841 Mr. Smith returned to Ohio and os- tablished a democratic paper in the city of Dayton, which fhe named the Western paper that still flourishes fag the organ of the democratic party of Western Ohio— ‘and of which the Hon.

Van Buren, Gen. Jackson, Mr, Benton, the be 3 fon Union, Albany Argus, Ohio Statesman, &c., &o. Mr. Amith then maintained that truth, honor, honesty and fair eating demanded that the democratic party should the democratic recommendations and acts of the adminis- tration, aud that the doors of tho temule of demooracy should be left wide open, to the end that the President oe his democratic friends might freely enter and wor- ship. In the meantime Mr, 8. favored the nomination «f Gen. Cars for the Presidency in 1844, When Mr. Polk was nominated Mr. 8, cheerfully and Promptly accepted him as @ compromise candidate, ran Up bis name, and canvassed in behalf of his election. At the close of the campaign which secured the election of Mr. Polk, President Tyler couterred upon Mr, . the appointment of Special Commissiover to Quito, in the republic of EKevador, iv South America. Mr. S. was especially instructed to remain a! Quito at least one year. Tn consequence of a civil war, which he found prevailing on his arrival in the republic to which he was accredited. Mr, S. remained at that capital but thirty days, avd was absent from the United States but eleven months and twenty-six days, all told, On the return of Mr. S., in the winter of 1846-'46, he emigrated to the then Territory of lowa. Here he took a pro- minent part in the adoption of # State constitution and the formation of a State government—bis county three seve- ral times presenting his name 4s tueir choice for Congress Governor of the State, &e. In the spring of 1862 Mr. 8. took up bis line of march acrors the plains for (he then Territory of Oregon, where he arrived, with bis family, in the fall of the same year. Tn the goring of 1854 Mr. S was elected to the Legisla- tive Assembly of Oregon by the democracy of bis (Linn county; in 1855 re-elect in 1856 again re-elected; and in 1857 he wes elected to the convention to frame a Stute constitotion by @ majority of six hundred; and on the 8th cay of July last he was chosen one of the first United States Senators for the new State of Oregon by a four- fifths vote of the two houses in joint couvention, LAFAYETTE GROVER. Hon. Lafayette Grover, member elect to the House of Representatives for the State of Oregon, a young man some thirty one or two years old, ‘is a native of Maine (Bethe}, Oxford county), wae educated at Bowdoin College, studied law in Philadelphia, where he was admitted to the bar in April, 1850, Same year emigrated to Oregon, whither he went as the law partner of the late Hon.

Diep oF Grier.--Corcner Horton held an inquest yes- terday upon tbe body of Mary Compan, who died sud- dently at her residence, No. 300 Atlantic street, on Satur- day night. A post mortem examination revealed the fact that her nervous system had sustained a sudden shock, which resulted in serous apoplexy and caused death, It appeared that her husband had died of consumption some six weeke previously, and the circum- stance affected ber so much that she @ physically exbausted.

The opera is not over popular, and the crowd must have been attracted by personal interest inthe prima donna alove. The receipts for the two performances amounted, we hear, to six thousand five hundred dollars. The performanco bas heretofore been descrined, The ex- cellent orchestral conductor, Mr. Mazio, deserves a com- pliment, Working with a reduced force, be gave full ex. pression to the light and delicate score, We understand that thie opera will be given in the principal provincia; cities, and we advise every one to see and hear Piccolo. mini’s charming Norina. In every way it isa perfectly enjoyable performance.

The affair may be considered as accomplished. Tho act of incorporation has been granted, a site near the City Hall obtained, and two- thirds of the sum required ($150,000) has been subscribed. The city theatres are sti!) without striking novelties. The “Veteran” is drawing crowds to Wallack’s; Dan Rice and the circus ditto to Niblo’s. At Laura Keene’s “Our American Cousin” has reached its 108th night, and is atill lucrative, A new farce—“The Little Savage” (“La Fille Terrible’’)—was produced here on Monday. It is ono of Mr. Madison Morton’s latest larcenies, and has been made successful by the epirited acting of Messra. Levick, Peters, Burnett, Mies Honey and Miss Wells. The announcement of Mr. Jellerson’s beneft here was premature. It will take plare on next Saturday evening, 19th. Without doubt the eminent comedian will receive a fitting testimonial of the public favor in which he is held. A benefit to the widow of the late F.C. Wemyes at Burton’s on Monday, and another to Ella Burns the child reader, at the Academy on Thursday, were quite success- ful, The sisters Western, two clever and lively comediennes, closed a very successful four weeks’ engagement at the Bowery with a farewell benefit on Saturday last.

Vandenhoff gave a sacred reading at Lyric Hall, Broadway, Inst evening. The entertainments announced for this evening are as follows :— At the Broadway theatre Mr. Harry Pearson, an Eng- lish actor of repute, will make his début in a new rural drama, called “The Villagers.”” Mr. Peareon’s speciality is the performance of the country boy, in the delineation of which type of character he is said to be very fine. Mr. Eddy will also appear this evening in “The Avenger.”” Performances are now given at this theatre on Saturday afternoons. At Niblo’s Garden the present is announced as posi- tively the last. week of the Circus, A new entrée—“The Tourvament’’—will be given to-night, and Mr. Dan Rice, who is making something of a stir about town, will con- tinue his conneransionas, At Burton’s theatre “Our Female Amorican Cousin’’ will be given wis evening and every night during the week, with a popular farce. Miss Julia Daly is irresisti- bly funny in this piece. At Wallack’s theatre ‘‘The Veteran” is up for all this week, A new tableau will be added to the superb serie already given, Mr. Wallack and all his company are included in the cast of this play. At Laura Keene’s theatre the attractive bill of last week remains for this. It is “Our American Cousin’ and “The Little Savage.” At the Bowery theatre Mr. Joseph Proctor, who re. cently made a most favorable impression at Burton’s, commences an engagement this evening in the drama called “Gio, The Armorer of Tyre,’ which will be given with ‘The Eton Boy” and ‘Therese, the Orphan of Gene- va.

He plays next at Pitsburg, then at Cbicago, &c. The statement that Mr. W. Cowell had become the lessee of the Walnut is incorrect. He is still Mr. Sullivan’s man of businoss. Boston. bad a benefit on Friday, the 11th inst. the 12th says:— The Boston theatre was crowded last evening, from the parquette to the amphitheatre, on the occasion of the be netit of Thomas Barry.

As he turned to depart, the curtain suddenly rose, and Mr. Barry was much startled to behold the whole force of the dramatic and auxiliary departments of the theatre, in- cluding every employé attached to it, to the number of about one hundred, ranged on tbe stage before him; and he was still more taken surprise when ‘Honest Tom Comer,”’ leader of the orchestra, advanced, and presented him with a massive silver goblet, salver aad pitcber—~all of the value ef about $200—the gift of the dramatic and orchestral companies, with the treasurer and those in his department. Mr. Barry was taken completely by sur prise, and had gcarcely recovered from is astonishment and given uttorance to his thanks, when ho was called oa to receive another testimonial—a ‘surprise gift from the artisans of the theatre, in the form of an elegant drawing room cabinet. The presentation speech was male by Mr. Selwyn, one of the scenio artists. Mr. Barry again return ed his thanks in appropriate terms, This invoresting scone was closed by a union of the voices as well as of the yen its actora, in singing the tune of “Auld Lang ne.

Shortly after five o’clock yesterday afternoon a man Pamed Hugh Gilleepie, accompanied by a friend, called ay the liquor store kept by,,a man named Jobn Mulvihill, No. 2% Mulberry street, for the purpose, as it is stated, ot taking a drink, Just as they were about to enter the piace they were met by Mulvibill, who said to Gil- leapie, “No euch man as you can drink bere.” The jat- ter made tome reply, when Mulvibill struck bim a blow in the face, nearly knocking him down. Gilleapie then ran off and proceeded to another rum shop, kept by a well kuown rowdy in the Sixth ward, named Thomas Welch, or better kuown as Fatty Welca, No. 7 Mulberry street. Here be told Welch what Mulvibill had done, and wanted him to yo back to Mulvibill’s place and show him fair play in a Oght, Welch, however, refused to go, and Gillespie left; but he had not been gone long when word came down to Welch that Mulvihill was beating Gilleepe spain, and the jatter wanted assist- tance. Welch immediately ran op w where the fight was, and seemg that Gillespie was gettin the worst of the fight, be pulled Maolvibil off. This, it a , got Welch into a difficulty; and after several blows were exchanged, Molvihill raa into bis sore and gota revolver, which ‘he presented at Weleb and fired four rounds, one of the balls entering Welch’s neck, but fortunately, he baving a stecl neck tie on, it was the means of saving his life.

We mean the day referred to in the caption of this article. This day, it is scarcely uecessary to say, is one thought to be especially devoted to the business of Cupid and Hymen. Antiquaries bave also pointed out that the Zuporcutia feasts of ancient Rome, in honor of Pan and Juno, mytho- logical gods, were held #1 this time; and that, amongst the ceremonies, was ave in which the young persons of opposite sexes ch h other jocularly by lot. Iu England and Scotland, Joy ing the last century, the young folke used to make ita {e-\val. Atthe present day, it is a degenerated occasion. The only observance of it consists in sending anonymous missives by way of ‘‘practica! joke.” This practice was formerly confined to the bumbler classes; but of late years, and especially in this city, tho upper tendom have adopted the enjoyment of the sport, and the amounts expended by them for these bymenial missives are almost fabulous. But our readers will agree with us, and think the “joke” ie carried toofar, when we state thateyen some of the latter class, und others of the middie and humbiler classes of people, exbibit a depravity of morais by wounding the feelings of others, in sending the most ridicuious, vulgar, obscene and libellous missives thet can be had—vide the city shop windows. The observance of St. Valentine’s festival at tlie present day contrasts widely with its ob- servance it no remote period.

Fowlor, corner of John and Nassau streets, has at various times been robbed of clothing, which amounted to the value of geveral hundred dollars; but no clue to the thief could for a long time be ascertained until Saturday, when, the matter having been entrusted in the hands of detective officers Farley and Eustace, the perpetrator of the deed turned out to be one of the leading clerks in the establishment, It appears that Mr. Fowler, finticg him- self unable to detect the thief, finally placed the case in the bands of the above officers, who, since last Monday, have been watching the movements of several of the clerks, At last their suspicions rested upon one named Wiliam Seott, whom they discovered most every morning bringing with him to the store a basket, uoder the pre- tence of going to market before bis return home at night.

Catarina was stewardess of the hotel where he was stopping; she was agreeable, good looking, and spoke English, French and German with fluency. The gentleman was alone, and fond of ladies’ society, and in the course of a brief while he painted go giowiug a picture of his position to Catarina, the fuir stewardess, and made such ardent pro- fessions of love and devotion, that she was induced to lis- ten uo avowal of his ove, aud became enamored ot Dim in tarp; and in a moment of weaknoss she yielded, and thenceforth was all bis own, he promising to make her his wite. After a sojourn of some months at the hotel he told Catarina he must leave for London, and ad- vised ber to go to New York, where she should call at his | pare of business at a certain time, whea he would meet er there, and then they wouid be married. Being en- ciente, she had no alternative but to sail for New York, to hide her shame by becoming the wife of the American gentleman.
