Compulsory Observance of the Sabbath. TO THE BDITOR OF THE HERALD, Nuw Yor, July 5, 1360. One of the most prominent aims of human ambition has been that of the priesthood of every nationality to govern the masses. Hence persecutions have arisen, and hence the Puritans emigrated to these shores to enjoy the prerogative of every man—liberty of conscience. But how these very Puritans found themselves no exception to this strong bias to obtain power by religious sway, under the sceptre of enthusiasm, superstition, or bigotry, is amply illustrated in their own at- tempta at persecution, even to the stake in earlier times, and in our own day in their efforts at reli- gious legislation, viz, the Sunday law. : While the infant colonies composed the American people it was possible for them to violate their own constitution and maintain a sort of religious des- potism; but now our community is composed of thousands from nearly all lands, who have enrolled themselves as citizens under a constitution which guarantees equality of rights and perfect liberty of conscience, all Puritans notwithstanding. The recent success of the Sabbatarians in the State Legislature has aroused indignation to such a degree against them that they intend to call a Con- vention at the Academy of Music, in order to vindi- cate their own philanthropic view of this State. That class whose minds seem direct- ed this way, and who apnear desirous to exchange their present situations for homes on the Pacific coast, and who need sufficient light on the subject in question to enable them to make up their minds understandingly as to the propriety of a change of homes, seem destitute of the most common informa- tion relating to the country. It would seem, therefore, that any person might hope, by imparting the de sired information, to instruct and benefit them, and if the facts desired to be communicated should be presented through the columns of & paper of the high character and extended circulation of the Nuw Yorx Henarp, the benefit would be greatly in- creased. I propose, therefore, in this and future communications, to lay before your readers facts in sufficient number and variety to enable them to come at correct conclusions regarding all the prin- cipal advantages and disadvantages of a residence in Oregon; and as, in doing this, I desire accuracy and not originality, I shall draw upon any source of information within my reach, rejecting only such statements as conflict with my own observations and experience during fourteen years’ residence in the country. . Oregon was organized as a Territory on the 2d day of May, 1843, and was admitted as a member of the confederacy on the 12th day of February, 1859. It is bounded on the north by Washington Territory, from which it is divided by the Columbia river, and the forty-sixth parallel ot north No doubt the greatest effort be made to latitude; east by a line from the mouth | cajole the public mind by the most insinuating cant of the Owyhee river, due south to the pa- | and sophistry, under the garbs of religion, mo- wo deg. north; south, along said parallel to the Pacific ocean, which forms its west. ern boundary.

The middle ion, ly ine, bonerens the Blue and Cascade moun- tains, thou, offering no particular induce- ments to the farmer, is a perfect elysium for the herdsman, be: one vast undulating prairie, which, though lacking beth richness and inoisture for remunerative cultivation of grain, ex- cept along the margin of the streams, produces grass of the finest and most nutricious quality, fur- nishing, whether in a green or dry state, food of a very superior kind for cattle, horses, sheep, &c., the year round. Along the margin of the streams flowing through this country to the Columbia river, philosophers, pagans or celestials please to de- nounce the rest of the world as heretics, infidels, giaours or barbarians, it does not oblige us to a sume such titles, or stop the pee of civiliza- tion, or quench the spirit of liberty. Our age has advanced beyond the reign of priests, our consciences must epi from superstition, our country, composed of such heterogeneous materials, must maintain the liberty, religious and civil, of its citizens. The question is momentous in its future bearings; not one of to-day only: for once grant the power, and our Legislatures might hereafter enact laws compelling us to fall down and worship any Baal of its own. igated by the Presbyterians, it would force us to wear long faces, spend Sunday in there is generally a narrow strip of rich alluvial | church and ray on the corners of the streets; by soil which is capable of producing in great fee- e ri , to listen to none but the vt § tion the kind of crop nsually cultivated in Western | gervice; by the Catholics, to go to mass and pros- Oregon.

Willamette, Jmpqua and Rogue rivera, is adapted in a peculiar manner to agricultaral pur- suits as well as to stock raising, the soil being ex- rich and productive; whether low and and rolling, whether heavily timbered or prairie, the soil is the same rich black loam un- til you ascend the hilly portions, when it changes ts Color to reddish brown, but retains its productive capabilities even on the hill tops. Wheat, which is the staple crop of the country, produces well, averaging trom thirty to forty bushels per acre, and often reaching from fifty to sixty, and that, too, under an inferior system of cultivation, the average ploughing being from four to six inches deep, while it is proven by experience that deep ploughing pays as well in’ Oregon as any other country, and thatmuch of the land might be largely he vd by underdraining. The price of wheat, » it the year round, ranges trom seventy-five cents to one dollar and a half per bushel; the cost of producing a bushel of wheat, owing to the high price of labor,‘is estimated at fifty cents. Oats grows to great perfection and produces more abundantly tha heat, its average yield being trom forty to -tive bushels per acre—the ac- tual cost There is scarcely a people in the world from whom we may learn more on this subject than the Moslems themselves. Friday comes for the faith- ful, while it is unnoticed by Christians and Jews in any way. Saturday Bs tiliously kept by the Jews, unmolested by Chi nand Turk; and Sun- day is sacred to the Christians, while Mohammedan and Jew buy and sell at pleasure. We are not pagans nor Mohammedans, but a | Christian nation; yet we have not the union of ' Church and State’ to sanction any prevailing form | of religion, though we may call ourselves a Christian community, as we are. But we are decimated by sectarianism, fenced about by creeds, theological cliques, a house divided against itself. While one sect chooses to fast, on the selfsame day and hour another prefers to feast. Can any Legisla- ture say to them you must both fast or feast on the same day? The governments of the old countries of Europe do not restrain the people on Sundays, nor make laws to compel them to Sunday observances: and | the Christians of the East, no doubt the Peters and | Pauls of this day, have no such Sabbatical {ostidi- | ousness. They suspend business of their own free will, not by law, and devote most of the day to plea sure and Tecreation.

An article in this evening's Express, referring. to a suit for libel which Ihave brought against the editor of a weekly paper, seems to demand from me some explanation, so far as regards its allusion to the case of a lunatic now in court. Some three months since Mr. Wm. Forbes, of this city, with whom I had previously no acquain- tance, called upon me with his daughter—the wife of the lunatic referred to—for advice as to the best | course to be pursued to have the young man, who is nearly related to me, cared forand his property protected, as he was then wandering about insane, and had been some time before in- duced to give a power of attorney, both | as an individual snd as executor for his father's estate, into, as they thought, improper and ir- responsible hands. I advised them to consult with their attorney, and on being informed they had | none, recommended them to E. L, Fancher, Esq., for advice. ed ee several interviews were ad with A. W, Bradford, Esq., the former counsel for the estate of the lunatic’s father, with whom Mr. Forbes and his daughter were quite content to leave the whole case. relations to the parties, however, prevented his acting in) the premises. Proceedings were then taken by Mr, Forbes, as = father-in-law of the young man, in the Si e Court, and a Commnsaion conan of Lather R. Halstead end Win. Ww. Wight? Fsq., of this city, were appointed the court to try the case. A jury, composed of pes. of Bor most pm citizens, were empannel and had the young man before them, who, e said commissioners, unanimously found him of unsound mind, and incapable of the Management of his person and estate, On their finding the Court appointed Stephen Cambreleng, Esq., & referee to report suitable persons as a com- mittee to take charge of the person and estate of | the young man, which reference is still pending be- fore him. The only part I have had in the premises has been to appear before said referee to give testimo- ny as to the competency of the parties nominated for his consideration, and to give my advice from time to time to the persons interested, when called upon to do #0.

For the past two years a regular line of ocean steamships have been renning between this port and the most popular and commodions western port of Ircland with astonishing success. This fact isthe more remarkable when it is remembered that the enterprise was undertaken at first as an ex- periment, without a cent of government support, and in the face of the most formidable and consoli- dated opposition that ever ruled the travel of the North Atlantic. No more striking proof of what may be accomplished by energy and perseverance, when directed in the proper channel, can be afforded m—The Galway than the history of the establishment of the Galway | line, The first of its pe on the 19th of June and New York steams steamers sailed from FE almost immediately after the meanness of our go- | vernment enabled the Cunard company to enjoy a temporary triumph over our noble Collins line, which was the pride of the country and the admi- ration of the world. The first voyage would have been sufficient to have discouraged many compa- nies, when it is borne in mind that seventeen pas- sengers, a very light mail bag, and no specie or cargo of any kind, were all that could be ob- tained for’ the ‘westward trip, and — th even with these the pioneer ship wa: nate as to break down on the passage fifteen days to complete the trip.

If the people of Kebl received tie Emperor heartily, they were the only Germans who would have done 80, for everywhere throughout Belgium, Prussia, and the smalf German kingdoms, he is either dreaded or execrated. 1t is the universal belief that he will never be content until be has completed the ‘‘na- tural boundary" scheme by subduing all the terri- tory on the west of the ine to his Imperial sway. If the English are no friends to Napoleon, ie | Germans go further, and are more anti-imperial than ourselve: On Saturday the Emperor might be seen early in the morning walking in the garden, leaning npon his walking stick, and looking more decrepit than his age might justify. It is a theme for great gratitude that he is not a young man, and that, be his ambition what it may, he has no great timg before him in which to work out his political adventures. On horseback or in his carriage, all men confess his noble bearing, and no signs of de- cay are manifest, but when he is walking the spec- tafor foresees that the greatest of men are mortal. During the greater part of the day the Emperor returned the visits of the Princes who had waited on him in the morning. Possibly the laws of eti- qnette may in this case have been yery agreeable to the great one, for it enabled him first to see all the Princes together, and then to give them a lesson privately and individually. Who ean tell what de- vices were in the heart of the mighty? Who shall fathom the depth of the thoughts of Kings? May the Lord rule and over-rule, and out of every evil may His glor spring: The princes and dukes may have rejoiced at the coming of the Lord of France, but the people wondered what all conld mean, and forebodings of evil were neither rare nor frivo- Jous. As for the little kings, they came to this place like moths toa candle.

T like not to see either thieves in company or kings in conciave. Eagles come not together unless they scent the All may be well, and the meet may be jendly visit and an exchange of courtesies, but uneasy thoughts will suggest themselves; for, when the wolf inspects the sheepfolds, and dines with the shepherds, the silliest of the sheep are troubled at nightfall. When the Emperor came forth from the hotel to his e, the | genelace Baden gave him unmistakeable evi- ence of their feelings towards him. Sevgral gentlemen have assured me that the hissing was very far in excess of the new notes of acclamation. u in the Conversation House, where the élife of the visiters were assembled, the hisses were very distinct, and must have been an unpleasant sound to one who breathes the air of flattery and eats the bread of adulation. When the Grand Duke after- | wards appea the people cheered him very Lesrtily, as if to show for whom the sounds of dis- itended. After all, as far as I cun judge, it is not what he has done, but what he may do, which causes this ill feeling towards him, Some men would have done less and have had more credit for it, but this man continues to mar all his good deeds by a crooked policy, which leads most men to suspect his best actions, and to impute to him designs which may be very far from his hts. Worse men than he e been better \ ; and yet there is no injustice in this treatment of hin aah m, for his conduct courts suspicion, and his reserve creates distrust. Sunday was the great day of discussion, deliberation, arrangement, | or whatever else may have been the end and aim of the interview. How little is God in the thoughts of the great when His own day is the chosen season for their councils, and that, too, when no crisis is impending, and no imme: disaster compels them to hasty deliberations. Here were all the days in the week all equally available, no haste | compelling, no wars alarming, and yet none of | their own six days will suit thom: they must usurp God's peculiar day, as if they were lords of the | Sabbath, or t msible to the laws of heaven. | What but confusion can be the result of such councils? Will not the Lord bé avenged on such people as this? The companies of country eople who filled the reads were very interest- ng to observe, and as I looked from the windows of my quiet chamber upon the gaicty which the advent of these Princes had caused apon a day consecrated to rest and worship, T could not fa s have vast | responsibilities, and God alone knows how mach of the sins of the nations will be ited upon the heads of their governors. They are not only par- 3 of other men’s sins, but creators of evil. y there are chains of darkness of unusual ht reserved for these ringleaders in rebellion. Emperor left for Strasburg at ten o'clock and his train started in the midst of asilence rofound than I had ever remarked before. ag on the edge of the crowd, I was asto- niched to the utmost at a stillness like that of death—a quiet which was not broken until the » of it had departed: then every man breathed y, and as the Duke of Baden rode back to his the people gave him loyal cheers, which contrasted with the gloomy silence with which the Gallic despot had “been greeted. To mind there was a something truly dig- seless censure. To hiss ‘might f weak impertinence; but to ent was the noble rebuke of re- solute minds. I ought to have said that on Saturday there was a fine Mumination at the con- vereation house, which is the grand resort of the company Who are staying in the neighborhood, and the building in which is concentrated the gam: Diing, (@r which the town is famons. Beyond this one display, I did not perceive a flag or a light upon any bouse or hotel. This was strange tome, for, if in any English town, there had been but one King, much less nine, there would have been some | sort of display, unless, indeed, the unpopularity of one of the number had been great enough to com pel the people to ignore the existence of the other eight, What wonderful times we live in—for I have no doubt the people of London know more about what was done in Ba¢ rday than T a day, and merchants np atters which I, upon the spot, ean only sur. | May the end be such that the na- | and the kingdom of Christ may fully | The P.M mo Btanc play be sternly sil A Rermep Iypran Trapen asp ms Ivptan Fase MiLy.—The correspondent of the St. Louis Repuh- lican, on his way to Baltimore, stopped a day with Major Alexander Culberaton, the o! 1 retired Tnai an agent, of whom so much is known, eaying of him:— For thirty years he was occupied in the Rock; untains, and during that time married, accord- ing to.
