From Oregon.

The Oregon Spectator Of October Is warmly
eulogzes the passage, by the Legislative Assembly
OF a law establishing system Of common schools
IL gives a synopsis of the law
Two of six Indians, tried at Fort Stdlacom, for
the murder of Leander c. Wallace had been con-
victed and executed. The murder is spoken of as
having occurred In some attack on Fort Nesqually,
OF which we do not remember TO have heard before
The six Indians appear TO have been given up for
trial by their tribe Four were acquitted The two
who suffered were chiefs
The Spectator says "happily political parties
have no existence in Oregon 4" adding that. conso
quently, the members Of the Assembly have been
chosen with reference only TO their fitness for the
duty blessed state of things, that, IL il really
exists.
The Spectator notices a great rise in the value of
real estate, both in Oregon and Linn-with con q.
tinuing upward tendency. Business, moreover,
was active, and every thing indicated prosperity
Gold was abundant-from California Of course
The territorial library had arrived. The cost was
about $4,000. The books are mostly legal
lntemperance Is spoken Of as deplorably on the
increase.
The regiment of mounted riflemen, under the
command of Colonel Lorng, had arrived Very
few had deserted the loss by desertion and death
was about sixty. Six were wounded by a raft go-
ing over the Cascade Falls. They were teamsters
belonging 10 the wagon train
A man had been tried for selling liquor 10 In.
dians-convicted and fined five hundred dollars.
The Spectator quotes largely from Atlantic pa
pers-about the Hungarian war, the French AZ
Rome, the fight Of the Pope, &c, &c.-N Y

The Secretary ofthe Treasury has made
out and submitted to Congress his esti-
mates, in detail, of the expenses necessary
to the proper collection of the revenue.
This estimate exceeds the amount lin
tied by law for that purpose.
If the estimates be proper and necessary,
it is the duty of the Committee of Ways
and Means forthwith to report bill in
accordance.
Ii the estimates contain items which
may be expunged, or items which may be
reduced in amount, it is the imperative
duty Of the Committee of Ways and Means
to report forthwith a bill of appropriations,
excluding all unnecessary items, and re-
ducing all that will admit Of reduction.
We beg to call the severest scrutiny Of
the whole Union to this statement, because,
if the Committee of Ways and Means had
promptly acted upon either of the above
alternatives, the necessity now imposed
upon the Secretary of making the re-
trenchments, and exacting the charges
which he has done, would have been OBJ
waited.
The Chairman of Ways and Means
complains Of the action of the Treasury
Department in its efforts to comply with
the limitation required by law.
And yet the Chairman of WAYS and
Means has all along had it in his power TO
avert and render unnecessary these acts
OF the Department, which he condemns.
The remedy is in his hands, and yet he
refuses to apply it.
Let every man who is turned out of
ofhce-let every merchant who finds ex-
penses imposed upon him--let every one
who is called upon to pay fees to the COL
lectof which have long been intermitted-
let every one who is in any way inconve-
nienced-bear steadily in mind that il is
the Committee Of Ways and Means who
cause it all. Let every one bear in mind
that the Secretary Of the Treasury has put
it distinctly to the Chairman Of Ways and
Means TO allow him promptly the amount
Of his estimates, or to strike out unneces-
sary items and reduce those too large.

DIFFICULTY AT AcAPuLco-There was an unfor-
tunate occurrence at Acapulco the adepot Of the
Pacific steamers, during the passage Of the Oregon
from San Francisco. She arrived there on the 18th
Of January, and the next day collation. was given
ON board, which attended by the ladies Of the
town, the alcalde and the military governor. We
quote from the New York Herald;
upon their return, difficulty occurred on the
shore, between Captain Pearson and of his pas
sengers, which caused great excitement, and
threatened TO produce serious consequences. The
passenger, who had been a whaling captain, used
abusive language toward Captain Pearson, and at
last struck him. scuffe ensued, and in the melee
the Mexican guard of twelve soldiers, armed with
their muskets and bayonets, ordered to dis
perse the mob collected by the row. In doing this,
Captain Pearson received a severe blow from bay.
onct over the left eye.
son & Co. San Francisco, received a thrust from a
bayonet, which grazed his side and pierced his
jacket. Several gentlemen were knocked down by
the soldiers and one cruelty beaten the head
with musket, until the blood covered his cheek
and coat. The Americans were unarmed having
left their weapons board. Had not this been the
a general massacre must have ensued AS IL
was, propositions were made to return for pistols
and attempt the conquest OF the town. The guard,
however, was at length Withdrawn.
elm this affair blame can be attached 10 Captain
Pearson, who merely defended himself The iusti.
hcation Of the Mexican captain in command OF the
guard for their interference, was that IL was done
for the purpose of rescung the captain OF the
from violence. The guard, unfortunately, mistook
him in tho fracas for the assalant."

Winnebago Indians now on Black river and its
vicinity, in the northern part OF this county having
left their designated home ON the Crow Wing.
They have actually starved out, and have re-

whites, and they declare they will kill every white
man in the country before they will leave their old
fayorite hunting grounds.
They have already made serious depredations on
the whites, stealing horses, cattle, &c.

PRoTEsT AGAINST THE DEsrAToH OF EARL GREy.-
The Annexation Association have published pro
test against Earl Grey's late despatch 70 Lord FL
gin The language used is not Of menace nor sc,
dition. They do not conceive the sentiments Of
Earl Grey to be those Of the people Of England and
think that even the Parliament Of England cannot
pronounce until the subject is submitted in regular
course by the people of Canada Free discussion IL
the right OF all men and the safeguard against dec
potisn and rebellion. They ask the people to de-
eide whether the despatch is in accordance with
the Constitution, and whether Earl Grcy's opinion
should affect the right 10 bring any subject before
the legislature Of the country They will not be
diverted from legal course, and are thus defend

This issue he has pinned upon him in
front and rear and whichever way he
moves, he bears about with him this issue,
palpable to every eye.
If the Chairman of Ways and Means
can reduce the expenses of collecting the
revenue down to the amount limited by
law, and that too without occasioning per
sonal injustice or possible injury, what ex-
cuse can he offer for delaying this desira-
BILE action
Mr. MEREDITH, under the iron con-
straint Of the limitation act, has exercised
his best discretion in making retrench-
ments in such manner as to cause the
least possible injury to the public interest.
These retrenchments of Mr.. MEREDITH
are virulently condemned as being alike
injurious to public interest and unjust to
individuals.
Thus it is: if the retrenchments which
are least injurious are thus condemned by
the Chairman and the Union, how much
greater will be their condemnation when,
under the same iron necessity, the Secre-
tary shall touch still more important mat
tiers!
The course of the Chairman of Ways
and Means, and of that pink of candor
the Union, is to denounce Mr.. MEREDITH
if he does not curtail retrenchments to the
amount limited by law; or when, in con-
formity with it, he lops off those whose
exclusion is least injurious, he is de-
nounced with equal ferceness for making
injurious retrenchments.
Thus, whether he does or does not re-
trench, the patriotic Union and sagacious
Chairman find equal occasion for condem-
nation.
The Chairman of Ways and Means,
when he declares the amount allowed by
law amply sufficient for the collection of
the revenue, must certainly have some
good reason for the assertion; at least, he
ought to have in his possession the esti-
mates which, while they suffice to collect
the revenue, do not exceed the amount al
lowed by law.
If he has such estimates, why have
they not long since been reported'
he has none such, how can he excuse
himselffor condemning the estimates of the
Secretary without an examination If he
had examined them, he would have ex-
posed the errors and made the reductions.
There can be no excuse for his not redu-
cling the estimates to the standard of law,
if he can do so. If he cannot do so, is he
not responsible for all the injury he COM
Peis the Secretary to infiict upon public
and upon private INTEREST,"
This whole matter is too clear for eva
sion or observation, and the responsibility
shall be most distinctly and permanently
fastened upon the action Of the Committee
of Ways and Means. We shall revert to
it again, to show that the opposition is er-
ciusirety responsible for all evils flowing
from the constrained action of the De-
partment.
