THE OREGON.
The editor of the _New York Commercial_ has read letters
from the Oregon Territory, brought overland and mailed at
the extreme western frontier of the United States. They are
as late as June 17th, from the Methodist missionary station
at Willamette. The Rev. Mr. Gary, who was sent out by that
missionary society, had arrived at Willamette _via_ the
Sandwich Islands, himself and wife in good health. Mr. Gary
had been but a short time in Oregon when an opportunity
offered of sending a communication to the Board of Missions
by a small party who were about to return to the United
States. He had, however, seen all the mission family, except
Rev. Mr. Perkins, who was at a distant post. The
missionaries and their families were in good health at the
date above mentioned. No event of special interest regarding
the mission had taken place since last previous advices. Mr.
Gary concurs, with several missionaries who have returned
from that far country, in the opinion that the natives are a
degraded race of beings, and that there is little prospect
of doing them permanent good by any ministerial labor which
may be expended among them.

OREGON AND CALIFORNIA.
A gentleman well qualified for the task has prepared a
pamphlet, called a guide to Oregon and California, which
will probably be published during the present winter. The
readers of the _New Era_ will recollect several well written
communications on that subject published during the past
year, which emanated from the same pen. The writer has lived
in Oregon and California, has traveled different routes to
and from those regions, and is well qualified to give full
and satisfactory information to emigrants and other persons.
Success to his efforts.--_New Era._
