STUART left Portland on Monday last
with an express for Olympia, and arrived
here on Wednesday morning. Having
been Unexpectedly delayed en- route, he
Travelled all Tuesday night. There is no
back down to Stuart, and he contcm-
plates having things so arranged as to be
able to make the trip between this place
and Portland in TwEETY-FoUR HOURS =
} Such enterprise and goahcadativeness "
cannot be encouraged too literally, especi-
ally when the mails, under existing arrange
ments, like comets, are liable to arrive and
depart at will
We are indebted to Stuart for files Of
the San Francisco Herald up to July Sd,
and for the New York Herald and Tribune
of June 9th, from which we extract the
following items Of news
In CONGRESS-, up to June 9Th, we cannot
see that anything has been done or said for
the benefit of this Territory.
The Nebraska bill passed the House on
Monday, the 22d May, by the very salts
factory vote of 100 to 100. After long
and tedious session, the Senate, on Thurs
day, the 25th ult., passed the bill, as It
came from the House, by vote of 35 to
l3. On the 3Oth of May the President
delivered q message to Congress, approx
ing and signing the bill. We.will give the
leading provisions of the bill next week.
The Young Mems Democratic Union Club
complimented Senator Douglass with q
serenade at the st. Nicholas. A brief adj
dress was made by John Cochrane, on be-
half Of the club, to which Mr.. Douglass
replied at considerable length.
That question having beeDinally disposed
of, we may look forward to future proceed
ings with more interest.
In the Senate Thursday, May %, the
resolution offered the day previous, provi-
ding that Congress adjourn on the Sd Of
July, was amended so as to read, "adjourn
on the Sd of July to the third Monday in
October" and passed by a vote of twenty
six to seventeen. An unprecedented mass
Of business has accumulated and it is
thought the House will not concur in the
resolution.
In the House the Pacific railroad and
telegraph line has been under discussion,
but without any action being taken thereon.
In Senate the Indian appropriation bill
has passed, and q committee of conference
appointed on the deficiency bill.
GREAT RIor IN BosroN There has been
furious Anti-Slavery riot in Boston,
growing out Of the attempt of an Abolition
mob to forcibly arrest fugitive slave
named Burns, from the custody of the law.
The disturbance continued for upwards Of
week--the United States regular troops
were called out, and prevented the rescue
the slave with artillery loaded with grape.
After week Of intense excitement the law
was indicated, and aboltiondom howled
with rage.
In speaking of the riot, the Boston Jour
nal says ....
Two events have transpired the past
fortnight which have caused deep feeling
of excitement throughout the free States
They are the passage Of the Nebraska bill,
and the enforcement Of the fugitive Slave
Law in this city and in New York. The
latter event, coming so Immediately after
the former, has awakened feeling in the
free States which has seldom been equalled
in the history of this country"
The editor of the New York Tribune Is
in paroxysms at the passage of the Nebras-
ka bill and enforcement of the Fugitive
Slave law, and fears are entertained for his
recovery.
Hon. Julius Rockwell has been appoint
ed by Gov. Washburn, Of Massachusetts,,
Senator in Congress, in place of Edward
Everett, resigned.
The New York Herald says: 1t is sta

Senator from California, will be appointed
Postmaster of San Francisco, in place Of
Mr.. 4. j. Henley, who succeeds Lieut..
Beale as Superintendent Of Indian Affairs
in that State.
