WINTER CLOTHING FOR THE TRooPs.-On
the ID of December, Messrs. Almond, OF
London, completed the following contract
with the Ordinance for the Army of the
East: $4,000 fur cloaks. a, 900 fur caps,
helmets: $4,000 fur gauntlets, gloves, }
$4,000 water proof capes, $4,000 long
boots, .cow-hide material, $4,000 suits Of
inner clothing, $4,000 pairs of leggings,

TnE SIEGE OF SEBAsroroL Confessed TO
BE 4 FALuRE.-The London Times of the
29th, says: Twenty days have elapsed
since We last received authentic accounts
from our army in the Crimea. Our latest
news are derived from Russian sources, and
We are carrying on war against an enemy
who has ten days the start Of US in intelll-
gence There does not appear, so far as we
can see, any hopes Of bringing the struggle
in the Crimea to an immediate termination.
It is certainly not without sigh that
We feel ourselves compelled to relnguiSll
those bright, and as we thought them, rea-
sonablc hopes, of completing in a few weeks
the conquest of the Russian stronghold
Yet even tbis disappointment is not with.
ont its consolation.
We have failed in our immediate enter,
prise, but without the slightest loss-nay
with considerable gain-of character and
honor. If our army has been too weak tc
encounter the difficulties, they were such al
transcended human power and human en-
durance.
Louis Napoleon has offered the director:
Of the Collins line, in cash, R45O, 900 ster
ling, $2,250,000 for three steamers, OF
$3.50, 900 for any one Of them. Should
Congress conclude to change the contract
now existing between the U. S, Govern
ment and the line, then it is understood the
company will prefer selling their ships to
running them at losing rates. do not
believe, however, that Congress will con
sent to the loss of line which has reflected
so much credit upon the county. Some
compromise will be effected that. will save
us the ships.

y INDIAN TREArIEs.-Gov. STEVENS, up
pointed by the President, Commissioner Il
treat with Indians in this territory, negocia
ted a treaty at Nesh Bay, on the 3lst ult
with the Macaw tribe. These Indians occu
py Neah Bay, the Cape Flattsry peninsula
and the coast southwsrds, for some twenty
miles. They are organized into four bands,
and number nearly six hundred.
All the head chiefs and principal men,
and large majority Of the tribe were pres
ent at the treaty, and there was no dissent
whatever to the terms proposed. They are
placed on single reservation Of from four
to Eve sections of land at the Cape Flatte-
ry peninsula.
These Indians are altogether the most
enterprising within the territory. In indus
try, thrift, and the enjoyment Of the COM
forts Of life, they are not approached by
any neighboring tribe, southwark. They
take the whale with harpoons, spears, &C.,
Of their own invention, and venture in their
whaling excursions, in their light canoes,
an almost incredible distance from land
They are also well supplied with appliances
with which TO take the halibut, cod, and
salmon.
Neah Bay is destined at some day, to be
an important fishing and recruiting station,
for whalers, and others, engaged in that
branch of industry, The land is said to be
exceedingly good on the shores of the bay,
although greater portion is heavily tim
bered; and back to the shores Of the coast.
there is an extensive prairie, containing
some two thousand acres, q portion Of
which is tide prairie, which can be esily re-
claimed

Although we are perfectly willing TO ac-
cord to the people of Oregon, in general, a
high character for benevolence and charit-
able feeling towards the unfortunate and
distressed, as has been evidenced year after
year in the furnishing of supplies on the
immigrant trail, as well as the extending
of kind treatment to the immigrant after
his entrance into the Willamette valley,
Yet it cannot be denied that an infamous
string Of both land and lUaIer sharks have
constantly accompanied their acts Of kind
ness, prowling along the Columbia river,
and the Cascade road, for hundreds of miles
in readiness at all times, not only to
fleece the unfortunate immigrant out of his
last dollar, and then despise him because
he was made poor, but also histate not to
attempt to appropriate the means Of be-
hevolence sent out by generous people in
aid Of the destitute and weary, TO purposes
of aVaricious speculation The Cascade
road-the Dalles, and many other localities
en- route to the settlements, might tell some
gloomy tales of baseness and inhumanity.
But are the people of Oregon to be de-
nounced in general terms therefor? Ger
tainly not. Those then who live in glass
houses should beware Of throwing stones.

D@- We extract the following from an
expose of know nothingism, published in
the Oregon " Statesman" of Jan. I'd, for
the purpose Of illustrating to the uninitia-
ted the tricks resorted to by the order in
the acquisition of members, and their sys-
TEN of prosylitiug and entrapping the un-
suspecting into their fold. The knaVery
practiced is well worthy the darkness Of
the deed, and thus it is that the hands Of
the victim are tied, and his mouth sealed
by what we consider illegal, illigitimate
oaths before the candidate is aware Of the
supposed restraints under which he is
placed. Decoy ducks" Of the sort be-
low alluded to are constantly on the qui
vire in our midst, and we trust the unsus-
pecting will hereafter be on their guard at
their approach:
IAN sorts Of tricks and devices are resorted to TO
get men to join the wigwam here, and we presume
the same tricks resOTed 10 in other parts Of the
Territory. common plan Is for q member to fall In
with an intended victim on an evening when the
wigwam is in session, and say, believe the know
nothings are meeting somewhere about here; let's go
and hunt them" The two start or and sure enough,
by ACCIDENT iud where they meet, are admitted and
initiated forthwith the old member pretending to be
green hand too, and going through the initiation
with him. Many OF the members here have been
drawn In In this way, without learning Of the sell
until afterwards and without having thought Of the
order or the consequences Of joining It before they
were already in. Some who have been got in in this
way have no sympathy with the order, and few
have ka.n in he,
man who was thus drawn on by an old member going
with him. backed out after taking the first oath with
the old member who going through the initiation
went with him had joined them before, and was an
old member"
