HASGING.-0n Wednesday night last,
two Indians, of the SnOhomish tripe, were
executed, ut Seattle, by being hung, by
members of that tribe, for the murder of a
white man last July, at Lake Union, mile
and half from Seattle, for the commission
of which offence, the chief of the above
tribe caused them to be apprehended and
executed. Every thing in that direction
between the whites and Indians is quiet
and nothing of a serious character is ap,
pretended from the procedure.
Our informant is Capt MoSley of the
mail canoe, plying between Seattle and
Olympia, to whom we are also indebted fol
our marine report.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
WEDNESDAY, April 10, 1854.

House met pursuant to adjournment.
The journals were read and approved.
Mr. Hale, of committee on memorials, to
whom was referred the petition of citizens
praying for mail route from Astoria to
Olympia via Gray's Harbor, reported u
memorial which was adopted.
Mr. Brownfcld, of committee to whom
WIS referred the bill defining the eastern
boundary of Pacific county, reported the
same back and recommended that the
House non-concur in the amendments of
the Council.
On motion to adopt the report of the
committee, Mr.. Strong spoke as follows:
Mr.. SPEAKER am opposed to the re-
port Of the committee upon this bill. Pa
cifc county (although unequaled by any
county in the Territory in her bays, streams
and harbors, and filled as she is with rich
agricultural land), is already small enough.
She is, however, contented with her pres
ent size. | brought no petition praying
for an enlargement of her borders, but /
did bring one praying to have her eastern
boundary definitely established at the place
where those who first petitioned the Legis-
lative Assembly of Oregon Territory to
create the county of Pacific wished it
placed. They wished the line to commence
at Cape Disappointment, run up the chan
mel of the Columbia river far enough to
include Cathlamet, thence north twenty
five miles, thence west to the Pacific ocean,
thence to the place of beginning. But the
Legislature, in its wisdom, made the line
run up the coast from Cape Disappoint-
ment twenty-five miles, thence east thirty
miles, thence south to the channel of the
Columbia river, thence to the place Of be-
ginning, so changing the order of things as
to make it a matter Of much doubt which
side Cathlamet would be, of a line running
due south from the north east corner Of the
county, thus leaving it question of dis
pnte between Lewis and Pacific counties.

New Steam Mill.

Messrs. A. ]. & n. P. MILLER, who have
recently arrived amongst us from Pittsburg,
Pa, have undertaken the erection of a
steam-mill at North Olympia, about two
miles from the present seat of government
and which is intended to be the largest lum'
bering establishment on the Sound.
They.have made arrangements for the
procurement of two engines, which are ex'
pected to brought for them on the Tar
quina," on her next trip here, of so horse
power each, to run gang of twenty-six
saws, and also machinery to plain andgroove
their lumber, season, &c, which, We are i'll
formed, will make saving in the erection
of buildings, of one-half the present cost.
The saws are capable of manufacturing thir-
ty thousand feet Of lumber every "a hours.
1t is an enterprise which, if successfully
consummated will prove of more value to
this portion of the Territory, than all the
" salted" gold diggings which have yet
been discovered; and we understand it is
contemplated that actual saIring operations
will be commenced in about three months
Less than two years ago, and what is
now Washington Territory, could boast 3
saws in operation. Six months hence, and
We will probably have hundreds.

the Legislative Assembly to making some
provision for the emigration for the coming

raising a fund to relieve cases of suffering

timely aid be extended to those who come
in late and who may otherwise perish in the

Fellow citizens we have bright omens
to encourage us in our efforts to lay the sol

our citizens, which are so strikingly exhibit
ted the kind, social relations which unite
them, their deep interest in the prosperity
Of their social communities, and the labor
which they freely tender for the common
good, in opening roads, in establishing
schools, in giving aid to the stranger, all
these give us reason TO believe that here
the young blossoms of our youth will yield
q glorious fruit, and that here the dignity of
our nation, the worth of liberty, and the
influence of a lofty intelligence will be
shown in truly noble theatre. Be assured

R%The Legislative As
sembly of the Territory of
Washington convened on
Monday, as per proclama-
tion of the governor, and
proceeded to business, as
the proceedings will indi-
cate, by the election Of Col.
G. n. McCoNAHA'of Pierce
and King, President of the
Council, and Mr.. +. A.
CHENowETH, of Clark,
Speaker of the House, with
clerks, and other officers
of a very commendable
character. We feel par
ticularly gratified at the
admirable selection of Off
GERS generally, but espe-
cially of those who have
been called upon to pre-
side. An effort has been
made by certain powers
that "loas" for more than
a year 10 render the names
of McConaha and Cheno-
weth indicative, by asso-
citation, of contempt and
dishonesty. Col. McCona-
ha was president, it will be
remembered, of the Mon
ticello convention, that
tended SO materially to the
division of Oregon, and
giving us a separate ter
ritorial existence. He was
also the president Of the
territorial convention that
nominated Judge LANcAs'
TER for delegate to con
gress, and his present po.
sition has given a signal
and merited rebuke to
the influence which has
been at work for his des-
truction. Both gentlemen
will discharge their duties
honorably to themselves,
and creditabIy to the res
pective branches oyel
which they have beer
called upon to preside.

Mcclellan was fined 50 and costs, amount
ing to $3.50 for taking the feed on the 9Th
He was discharged on the complaint alleged
to have taken place on the 9Th. 1t appeared
that Mcclellan kept his horse in Croker and
Oakley's barn, and furnished his own feed
Croker and he had had some difficulty in re-
lation to the occupancy of the barn, short
time prior to the occurrence of the facts al
legged in the prosecution. Croker suspected
that Mcclellan took his hay, and set two indi-
viduals to watch, one of whom saw Mcclellan
take the hay and meal, on the 9Th of April.
Mcclellan went to Croker on the 9Th, and
told him that he took the feed, and offered to
pay for it; but Croker would not aclxnowl-
edge satisfaction for less than $25, hence the
prosecution.

WASHINGTON. Tuesday,

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, April IL.
SENATB.-The bill reducing the duties on
railroad iron was taken up, when Mr.. Doug
las moved to amend by striking out all after
the enacting clause and substituting a new
bill, allowing drawback, or refunding the
duties, where actually paid, on all iron i'm
ported since the LIST of July, 1853, which has
actually been used in the construction OF re-
pair of any railroad, and suspending the duty
altogether on all railroad iron which shall be
imported after the passage of the act, until the
LIST of July, 1867.
Mr.. Douglas explained the reasons for his
substitute, and stated the advantages that
would accrue to the whole country from its
operation.
Mr.. Seward was opposed to the general
paineiples of the bill, because it would have
the effect of rendering the business of manu-
featuring railroad iron i'll this country uncer-
tain and unreliable.
Mr.. Rusk wanted time to prepare a new
bill, which would cover the whole subject of
railroads. A further discussion on the merits
of the bill ensu ed, in which Messrs. Badger,
Pratt, Weller, Bell. Douglas and Bayard par
ticipated.
The bill was finally postponed to Monday
week, and the Senate adjourned.
