The PROPOSED Division OF OREGoN, so as
to organize from it separate territory to be called
Columbia, meets with much favor in that part of the
country which will be included in the territoria,
government. Congress is to be memorialized upon
the Subject. Convention has recommended the
division of the territory north of the Columbia river
into twelve counties, with well prescribed bounda
rles The Convention is to meet again at OLYMPIA
sometime about the middle of next MAY, there to
form State Convention, preparatory to asking al.
mission into the Union as one of the States thereof
provided that Congress has not, at that lime, organ
lzed territorial government, The total absence or
all municipal law and civil officers the great dis
lance from the present seat Of government, and the
Isolated situation of this part of the Territory there
from are urged, with other reasons, as to the pro
priety of the organization ola separate Territorial
Government.

kossurH. = No foreign intelligence, lately re.
ceived, is gratifying than the contradiction of
the reported misunderstanding between the Hungari-
an Chief and Capt Long. The whole story was so
opposed to all that had heard Of the character of
hossuth, that it was difficult to believe it. and vet
was related with so much minuteness and apparent
honesty, that it hardly possible TO wholly dis
credit it. BY the testimony of the officers of the
mississippi since her arrival at New York the
report would seem to be an invention The public
will nov, very naturally inquire the name of the
" attache" to whom indebted for the latest
and most bitter version of this story Ii is undoubt-
eddy true, that the despotic party in Europe looks
with displeasure and alarm upon the welcome which
kossuth has received in England and which awaits
him IN this country and it seems probable that the
reports lately circulated to his disadvantage. have
originated with that party. The short-sighted poll
cy OF SANDER will only increase the enthusiasm ofshis
reception.
The New York Tribune, speaking of the arsto-
cratic Influences which are sometimes brought to
bear upon opr diplomatic representatives, and upon
olflcers oil the army aud navy, makes remarkable
statement touching he officers of one of oul national
vessels. The Tribune says that the officers of an
American vessel, cruising in the Mediterranean being
out oil money, the King of Naples supplied them,
without security and without interest. We cannot
credit that any officer of navy would accept such
favor, which, besides it's manifest impropriet,, Is
contrary To the spirit, and almost to the letter af the
constitution. we think that if this charge eaa he

INHUMAN CRUELTY OF STEP-MoTHER.
Polly Olmstead has been found guilty ofthe MIR
der, by slow cruilles, of her own step-chlld, in
Illinois,
It appears that Olmstead married again in
about three weeks after the death of his first wife,
at which time the child was about five years old.
This was about eighteen months ago Soon alter
the marriage, the new wife confined the little
girl in the kitchen, and there kept her most OF the
time tied, and without fire. Ii this situation she
was forced to remain up to the time of her death
having no food allowed her except half pint of
coffee or milk and piece of cold corn bread
every day.
No bed-covering was allowed her in any
weather, further thana single scanty quilt This
iendsh woman often amused herself by beating
the child in the most outrageous manner, and on
one occasion compiled another child TO choke
her until she was black in the face She
TIM ally forced her TO eat rotten fruit and vegeta
bles of various kinds, together it'll other filth
which it would not be seemly TO describe
Sometimes she would fasien the little creature
under the kitchen floor and leave her there Tor
hours. Other details were given which are too
shocking for publication The poor little suffer-
err often wished herself dead. On one occasion
she escaped from the kitchen and was seen rying
to climb pole which stoad in the yard. Upon
DClug dshtu Nutl6 size was SoiiSN sic ieplltu
that she was going up 10 the other world 10 see
her mother The heartess step-molher ordered
her down with curses, and the trembling little
creature fell in her weakness, her head striking
violently against the wall Of the house
This chapter of mercess inhictinns upon a
lpless infant was at last terminated by the sut-
ferer's being poisoned TO death with opium, Civ
en- her inlarge quantities by her diabocal per-
secutor.
The jury found the woman guilty of man
slaughter, and she was sentenced TO two year SER
vice in the States Prison Her husband was
quilted. He, it seems, sometimes reniunstra ed
vito his wife for her cruelty but never had the
courage 10 arrest it.
- If the fend bad stolen horse she would
have been sentenced to seven years imp,ison-
ment, but numbering helpless child by inches
Is only punished by two years confinement
