From Oregon.

The Oregon Spectator Of October Is warmly
eulogizes the passage by the Legislative Assembly,
OF a law establishing system of common schools.
Ii gives synopsis of the law.
Two of six Indians, tried at Fort Stdacom, for
the murder of Leander G. Wallace, had been con-
vcted 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 !" adding that conse-
quently, the members Of the Assembly have been
chosen with reference only to their fitness for the
duty. A blessed state of things that il IL really
exists.
The Spectator notices great rise in the value of
real estate, both in Oregon and Linn-with con.
tnuing upward tendency. Business, moreover,
was active, and every thing indicated prosperity.
Gold was abundsnt-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 rifemen, under the
command of Colonel Doring. had arrived. Very
few had deserted; the loss by desertion and death
was about sixty. Six were wounded by a raft Po-
ing over the Cascade Falls. They were transfers
belonging TO the wagon train.
A man had been tried for selling liquor TO In
dians-convicted and fined five hundred dollars

Rome, the flight Of the Pope, &C., &c.-N Y.
