will pass. and we have reason to>beliere
that the bill was merely introduced with
view to kill anoiher.o a similar charac-
ter. Thespfesenr Legislature is composed
of men who have too much regard for
their own regulations. to be guilty of such
a burlesque on common justice and COM
mon. sense. An investigation into the
matter will be sufficient to satisfy any
member that the wants of the people do
not demand the erection of the new county
and are not willing to destroy county
already established for the purpose of sub
serving the specializing schemes of few
individuals in Johnstown.
We repeat, that there is no danger to
be apprehended from the movements now
being made by friends of the new county.
Let them "play out their hands" and sat-
isfy themselves that private interests are
not to be gratified at the expense of those
of the public.

From Oregon and The Sandwich Islands

By the steamer Ohio, the Oregon Spec

Island papers to the lst Dec, have been
received. The only item of note from
Honolulu is the presence at the Islands
of The U. S. propeller Massachusetts,, to
a ship crew, that she may proceed on a
surveying cruise along the coast of Ore
gon and California, with the joint commits
ernment to select sites for forts, dock
yards, &c, on the Pacific. The commits
sion consisted of Messrs. Smith and Og-
den, of the U. S. A, and Messrs. Colds
borough and Van Brunt, Of the U. S.
Navy:
The Oregon Spectator, of Oct. IS,
warmly eulogizes the passage, by the Leg
islative Assembly, of law establishing a
system Of common schools. It gives a
synopsis ofthe law.
Two of six Indians, tried at Fort Stula-
com. for the murder OF Leander G. Wal
lace, had been covicted and executed. The
murder is spoken of as having occurred
! in some attack on Fort Nesqually, ot
which we do not remember to have heard
before. The two who suffered were
chiefs.
The Spectator says "happlily political
parties have no existence in Oregon ad-
ding that consequently, the members OF
the Assembly have been chosen with ref.
erence only to their fitness for the duty
A blessed state of things, that, if it really
exists.
The Spectator notices great rise In the
value of real estate, both in Oregon and
Lima cities-with continuing 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.
Intemperance is spoke Of as deplora
| bly, on the increase.
The regiment of mounted rifemen. un
der the command Of Col. Loring, had ar
rived. Very few had deserted; the los:
| by desertion and death was about 60. Six
were wounded by raft going over the
Cascade Falls. They were teamster'
belonging to the wagon train.
| A man had been tried for selling liquor
to Indians-convlcted and fined $500.
