THE COLUMBIA STEAMSHIP.--This new steamship of the Pacific Mail Company, which arrived her yesterday, is to be put on the route between this city and Oregon, transporting the U.S. mail. This will be a pleasant bit of information for our Oregon neighbors. They will now, like ourselves, be treated with a mail twice a month. The Columbia will leave for the Columbia River in a few days.
