B8- Last evening some druaken honlbre
staggered INTO our Office and upset two or
three galleys upon which was placed our
editorials for the present week, which will
account for the discrepancy in that line
until next week. We hope the place that
otherwise might have been supplied, will
be duly appreciated by the discussion in
the National House of Representatives by
Gen. LANE and Col, ANDERSON, upou the
subject of an act for the payment of the
expenses of the war.
An article which was in type, the basis
upon which was predicated the sale of pub.
lie property, was at the same time kicked
into pi amongst other matter. 1t will ap-
pear next week.
Those who consider that this Indian war
has been gotten up for the purpose oI
making themselves rich, will End themselves
to be slanderers, evidence of which will be
reported by the amount that property
brought on sale.

HIS LEs.SThe prominent name for
their presidential candidate is Coll Fremont
and he is recommended for his chivalrous
daring in the war in California.
1t so happens that Col, Fremont never
was in sight of battle nor the sound Of guns
during the whole war. Such is our infor'
nation, and We have yet to learn Of the
first battle in that war in which Col. Ere
mont was engaged. Who can name one
Col. Fremont would no doubt have sus
tanned himself properly had he been in bat
tie, and in his way he did do service but
as for being the Hero Of Battles in Calitor'
mia, there is no greater mistake.
However, we think the nomination q
good one for that party, and it only wants
a Kit Carson for vice president to make
the romance complete.-Wdsh. Sent'"ei.

RED JAcKET,-As q specimen Of the In
dian mode OF thinking on the subject Of re-
ligion, we give paragraph from the speech
OF Red Jacket, which is omitted in the
common version. When the missionary
mentioned the Cruci6xion, Red Jacket re-
Piled
Brother, If you white men murdered the
Son of the Great Spirit, we Indians had
nothing TO do with it, and it is none Of our
affair. If he had come among Us we would
not have killed him, we would have treated
him better. You must make amends for
that crime yourselves !"
Red jacket took part with the Ameri-
cans in the war Of 1879, and becoming at-
tached to a colonel who was ordered on q
distant service, took bis farewell Of him in
the following speech:
Brother, / hear you are going TO a
place called Governors Island. / hope
you will be governor yourself l under
stand you white people think children o
great blessing. l hope you may have q
thousand. And above all, hope, wherev-
er you may go, you may never find whisky

NEwsPAPERs.-Judge Longstreet, Of Geo.
whose views on any subject are senslole,
practical and worth treasuring, thus setS
forth the value Of newspapers:
"Small is the sum that is required to pa
tronize q newspaper, and most amply
remunerated is the patron. l care nor
how humble and uupretending the gazette
he takes it is next to impossible to fill a
paper pa fi fifty two times year without put
tinr something in it that is worth the sub
scriptiou price. Every parent whose son
Is Of from home should supply him with
paper. l well remember what difference
there was between those ofmy school mates
who had and those who had not access to
newspapers. Other things being equal, the
first were decidedly superior to the last in
debate and composition at least. The rea'
son is plain they had command of more
facts. Youths will peruse a paper with
delight when they will read nothing else. y

NATIONAL MEN WILL SAVE THE UNION
Mr.. Fillmore expresses the opinion that
the election Of Colonel Fremont BY purely
sectional vote would not be submitted to
by the South, and he very strongly inti-
mates that resistance would be justi6able.--
The champions of Colonel Fremont charge
vehemently that the election Of Mr. Fillmore
would be the triumph Of secession. So far
as these two candidates are concerned, as
suming that they tell the truth on each
other, the issue is between disunionist and
a secessionist. Fortunately, however, there
is q third candidate who stands on Union
platform; and the certainty ofwhose election
renders it unnecessary for any body to be
cocncerned, whether the other two speak
truthfully Of each other or not. Whilst
Fillmore and Fremont are quarrelling over
disunionism, Buchanan will settle the mat.
ter by getting the votes Of the national
men Of the country. .I... ..

Olympia, Sept l6, 1856.
Editor of The Pioneer and Democrat:
In the Oregonian of August 80, under
the head of Affairs on Puget Sound,
appears the following paragraph
"Governor Stevens had (has) purchased
three land claims at the mouth of the
Puyallup river, as a reservation for the In
dians Of that post The writer thinks the
Governor acknowledges himself in the
wrong in doing so, the original reservation
being near by"
The above statement is utterly and en-
tirely false, and without the least shadow
of a shade of foundation in truth, and this
the writer knew when he penned it. 1t is
only another of the thousand and one lies
manufactured on Puget Sound by the enc.
mics of Governor Stevens, for the purpose
of giving a wrong impression to those
abroad who are not acquainted with the
facts, and who can have no conception with
what perfect ease few designing men on
the Sound grind out slander and falsehood,
for the sole purpose of deceiving the dis
tant readers of our public journals.
l have to state, in my official capacity as
Indian Agent of the Puget Sound district,
that the original reservation, made near
the mouth of the Puyallup river, is the one
which the Indians are willing and desirous
of accepting. They have requested that
some slight changes be made in the boun-
Diary lines, which request will be granted
and attended to in the survey soon to be
made Of that reservation.
Uno6TeiaHy, l would say to my friend
Dryer, Of the Oregonian, for whom enter
tain great personal respect, that in future,
for the sake of keeping out of the columns
of his truly valuable journal, falsehood and
misstntements, it would be well to look
upon all accounts coming to him from
Puget Sound, and going to defame Gov.
Stevens, with distrust, unless they be ac-
companied by the proper vouchers.

Col. FREMONT AT HoME.-At the late
great democratic jubilee in Tammany Hall
ex.Gov. McDougal, of California, spoke o.
the standing of Col. Fremont at home 1--WE
believe he halls frem California; as follows
"When he left California he bad moi
heard the nominations of the democratic
the know.nothing, or abolition party, and
he was never more astounded in his life
than he was to hear, just before his arriva
here, when the pilot boarded their steamer
that Fremont was nominated by the repub
lican party. He predicted, when this news
reached California, such an outcry woulC
be raised against the nomination that Ere
mont would never claim to come from Cali
fornia again. 1t is claimed that Fremont
was a millionaire, but he dare not go upor
his Mariposa claim. He (the speaker
would not give $500 for the whole claim
But q small moiety of the population il
California would go for Fillmore and il
his State did not give, at the coming elec
ton, twice the number Of votes for the
democratic candidates she had ever giveT
before, why then they might set him dowr
as no prophet or son of prophet"
At late meeting in Michigan, Gov
Felch, late from California, said that whilst
Col Fremont was in the Senate he betray
ed the interests of his State, and for that
reason they repudiated him and refused to
return him to the Senate.

pS- Among the items Of foreign news I

par Among the items of foreign news il
is stated that the celebrated Mount OF Ol-
ives, near Jerusalem, has been purchased
by Madame Polack, the widow Of a wealthy
banker Of the Hebrew persuasion at Kon-
igsberg. This lady intends to beautify the
place and improve the whole neighborhoodr
at her sole expense. The first thing she
had done was TO plant the whole area with
grove Of Olive trees, and thus to restore
it to the original state from which it derives
its name.
