0RreoS The Washington letter writer's
under date Of the Cd and Sd inst, are circulat.
ing ruinor to The eilec, that compromise has
been made upon the Oregon question, and say
that il is confidently asserted that Mr.. Pack
snham for II. b. NJ, and Mr.. Buchanan for
the Administration, have settled upon the 49.h
degree of North latitude as the highest poin,
OF the Northern boundary Of the Territory of
the U. States West Of the Rocky Mountains.
This news will take the people Of the West
by surprise. After all the declarations by the
administration, that our title TO the whole Of
Oregon was "slear and indisputable," and the
of repeated assurances that tho Northern
boundary Of Oregon should extend TO $40 10,
the people in the Yves, were not prepared TO
hear that a negotiation had terminated, sur.
rendering very large portion Of this territory
TO tho British.
Its offered as reason by some of the papers,
that our goveromen, once preferred to relin.
quish all claims to the country North Of lat.
49'. There is nothing binding aheui .hat pro
position. And further, that proposition was
made under peculiur circumstances. ii mi

nori'y, and no legal transfer be concluded, bis
proposition in his minority cannot DO valid n
gansi him when he arrives at years Of maiur
iiy. He can then asser. his rights and main
tain them.
The Yves, have long felt that their rights
were neglected and encroached upon; but the,
now begin to feel their own weight. and vii
ssser, their rights, in thunder tones, tina, ,hei
voice may be heard throughout, the length anC
breadth Of the Union. There is no "yieldinl
policy" in the West. The voice Is unshi
nous that no, an inch Of this territory SHOULD
be surrendered from the boundaries defined b,

weather very dry, and the flames spread from
street to street, and was not arrested until nine

Thirty streets are laid in ruins, from this
fire alone, and the scene of disolation, distress
and affiiction,is said 10 be appalling in the ex.

MAIL RoBBERY.-Geo. w. Barton
was convicted at the last term of the
Milwaukee U. s. district court, the
Hon. Judge Miller presiding, of rob
bing the mail, and sentenced to ten
gears imprisonment. We first have TO
suffer from the depredations of scoun.
dreis and villains, and then suffer a.
gain in the expense of trying and inn
prisoning them: so that it is hard to
say who is punished most, the people
or the culprits. Racine Advocate.
1t is noted fact that criminals in
this country are allowed to "slope,"
and sometimes are turned loose, TO e.
wade the expense of "trying and inn
prisoning them" in county jails. You
see Mr.. Advocate we want Peniten-
tiary. No one can think that we are
destitute ofpersons that commit crime.
and ought to be punished. And why
is there not some move made by some
body towards dovising plan for the
erection OF a Penitentiary? 1t is USE
less to wait for donations from Con-
gress. They don't pay enough to the
Territory to defray the ordinary cx-
penscs.
