THE ADVERTISER, . 11. V. r'UHNAS, EDITOR. . THURSDAY MOUSING, FEB. 14, 1S59. Congress. Oregon was on the 12th admitted into the Union. We now number thirty-three sovereign States. The event was cele- LratiJ in a lprnminT manner, and irreat o o enthusiasm prevailed at the National Cap ital. "A full marine band serenaded the distinguiihed friends cf the measure, in- rluding Gen. Lane, Senator Green and ' Representatives Nichols, Scott, Stephens, ' Lfet'cher, Thayer, Comins, Stevenson and Orr. nearlv ail of whom delivered brief seeches, eulogizing the political event. The president, in response to repeated rills; appeared at the window of the White House. He presumed, he said, from ihis handsome demonstration, that the Oregon bill had passed. He sincere ly congratulated them upon the advent of another sovereign State into the glorious confederacy of Republics." In the admission of Oregon, we think the. Republican party, by the various crooks and turns to defeat or cripple, did . futlirient to ballance the acts of certain democrats last winter, on the Kansas fjuestica: Oregon coming in as a demo cratic Statei made "quite a difference as to whose ox was cored." The vote on the final passage of the bill ia the House, stood 144 to 103. . The Homestead bill has passed the House by a vote of 120 to 76. The pro visions bf the bill are that any actual set .tier, who is the head of a family, over 21 years of age, a citizen of the United States, or declared his intention to become such, is entitled to enter one quarter sec 'tiori of Jand without paying any price Pensylvania, belongs the honor of engi rieerinsr this bill through the House. -.IVLiit will be its fate in the Senate, re mains to be seen. The success of this, or a bill similar in it provisions, is, we may safely say, of vital importance ; is wide and far reach ing in its consequences. It affects a f u ture, tne- duration ot wruen no one can compute, and fcr the present, not only the Territories but the States. In regard to the Nebraska contested case, the result has been as we predicted last week, The report of the committee was made to the House in favor of Chap inan, when the whole matter was laid up on the table, and, of course, will there dumber in quiet. The Senate committee will undoubtedly report, in favor of annexing South Platte to Kansas, but no action will be taken in all probability, owinsr to the want of time . - It is though", no appropriation bill ,wil be passed, in which event an extra session will be indispensable. Kansas. The Legislature of Kansas adjourned on Friday the 11th inst. Amon its last acts was the passage of a general amnes- ty. bill, granting pardon to all persons in custody, and immunity from prosecution on account of past disturbances in South ern Kansas. The bill received the ap- proval cf the Governor. A bill also pass- ed providing for the formation of aeon- etltution and State government. It pro vides for an election to take place cn the fourth Monday of March for or against . holding a convention for said purpose. If favorable, an election for fifty dele gates is to be held on the first Monday in June, and the convention will meet on the first Tuesday in July, at Wyandotte City. The constitution is to be submitted u the people in October, and the officers utider it are to bo elected in December. A bill abolishing and prohibiting slavery in the Territory was also passed. ErccKcnrldge on Cuba. Vice President Breckenridge, among ether notables, was serenaded on the ev filing of the celebration of the admission After referrinn' briefly t0 cf Oregon. that matter, Mr. Breckenride delivered .t ii . . . .ii w in? louowing, what we call a big speech :a a verv few words. Mllarin.. Wn rall nnnn tn Sav some- thing about Cuba, he remarked we talked oo much, and did too little. When Eng- land wished to do a thing she did it, and talked afterwards. If the Island of Cuba . instead of being placed at the mouth of . the Gulf of Mexico, laid at the opening . of the British Channel, England would take it in ten days. He was in favor of the acQuisitien of Cuba. He would not . rcb for it, but act with any portion of his . ftllow-citizens in using all honorable mean? to acquire it. TlicU- S. Agricultural Society.

In our iudrremeht the' Washington Un ion could be much belter employed as a democratic paper, than in writing1 long ed itorials against popular sovereignty. Ihe people of the Territories will have their own way in the regulation of their insti tutions. Theorize and speculate about it as much as the- ilViion may, and . draw hair-splitting, fine constitutional distinc- 10ns in its arguments, the great and stub born facts remain that the practical power, on all subjects of domestic concern, cannot be taken from the people of Ter ritories. If they are in favor of slavery, it will go there. If they are opposed to it that institution can never get a foot hold, and never ought to. If they have not the power to exclude it directly, they will do it indirectly, and by' the power of public opinion in the Territory. Slave holders will not take slaves into b commu nity where a majority of the people are opposed to the institution. The people, North and South, might as well look the matter in the face, onk submit to the pop? ular sovereignty settlement of the terri torial question; It is right, too.1 Those who do not live in the territories have no right to dictate to them in'mattefs bf do mestic concern. They have no riht to seek to prevent them from - authorizing slavery, and they have no right to crowd it upon them in opposition to their wishes. Nine out of ten of the people of the Uni ted States, North as well as bouth, we venture to say, are in favor of the people of the Territories, like those of the States deciding the character of their own insti tutions. , The Union ought to know that the pop- ular'sovereignty doctrine cannot be struck down. It is too deeply planted in the hearts of the people especially is this so in the West. To deny its correctness here, is considered little better than polit ical treason. Cin. Enq. A Word to the Wise. The. attentionvof pur business men is particularly invited to the following : Discontinuing : to advertise is like ta king down one's sign. It is a sort of in timation of retirement from business, and the public treat it as such. Or they may regard it as something gone wrong in the business, which requires privacy for the purpose of investigation v hatever con struction may be put upon it, the result is disastrous. Now we ' advise all our readers who may have fallen into the common error cf the season, to come out of their holes and put up their signs once more, and to ad vertise as much an4 in as many papers as they did in the best of. times. , While bus iness creates advertising, it is equally true that advertising creates business. It ere ates a talk and stir in business circles, and reminds the people that they have no right to be leading drone's lives, even though the times be dull; and even in the worst of times, advertising always pays well, and the more of it there is, the greater will be the business activity, the more free wiil.be the circulation of money, and the sooner will we be restor ed to a condition of prosperity." Phil, Juv. JJuuetin. . An American Vessel Destrorea by a uriiisn sieamcr. The Navy Department is in receipt of aavices irom Ucminander Totten, cf the African squadron, announcing the search, seizure and burning of the brig Rufus Soole, Captain Anderson, by the steamer Viper, of the .British squadron, . on the same, station. One of the R. S's seaman testified that it was said by some of the crew of the Viper that she was burned because they, had no men to send away in her, and that they had orders to burn one out of every three vessels taken. The seamen were landed on the beach of Ka benela. Com. Totten had demanded an explanation of the commander of the Vi per, who responded to three categorical questions put by Com. Totten, as follows First. Had the vessel the American flag flying at the time she was visited by the boat? Answer, bhe had the Amer ican flag flying ; and from information from the British government, dated the Sih and 22d of July last, there was every just cause to believe that in this case a fraudulent use of the flag was being made and that the vessel was engaged in the slave trade. . Consequently she was visit ed. Second. If her papers were correct? Answer. In my opinion thep were in correct, some of them undoubtedly so, 1 Third. " If the American flag was still flying when the hatches were opened? Answer. The American flag was not flying when the vessel's hatches were opened. The .flag and the papers were thrown into the sea by the captain, with out even a suggestion on my part. Com. Totten replied that it was unsat isfactory. as it made no mention of the burning of the brig without legal investi gation. - Com. Hodkinton rejoined by re ferring the American officer to the British Admiral, and this closes the report. Thanks. Hon. JV P. Besjamin, Hon. C. L Vallindicham, and Hon.

The object of even so early a date was that the premium list might be gotton out immediately, in order, tq aTord an opportunity to competitors to prepare for crop. . As s jme dissatisfaction has been manifested as to tho time given, it is thought best ta extend it. I will therefore receive proposals up to April 15th, 1859. Territorials papers will please notice this change and urge upon tatir localities action. R V FURNAS, : ; Prts't Terr! Board of Agriculture. Medical Faculty of . Brownville College.
