REMOVAL OF GEN. WOOL.
a memorial to the President Of the Uni
ted States asking for the removal Of Gen.
Wool from the command of the military
department of the Pacific, has been adopt
ed by the legislative Assembly of Oregon.
After recoun;ing the Indian disturbances,
the memorial 81 IS:
1t is with regret that we are compelled
to say that Gen. Wool has hitherto rem ia
ed inactive, and refused to send the United
States troops To the relief Of he volunteers
or to supply them with arms and ammuni-
ton in their time of need. That he has gone
into winter quarters, and lief. the settlements
exposed To the ravages OF our enemlcs.-
That he has removed the greater portion of
his troops from the Indian erri.ory to Van
couver. a military post remoe from the
scene of war, and that too, while our vol
unteers were threatened by an overwhelm-
ing force of Indians. That he refused to
90 to the relief of number of ci liens who
had settled in the valley Of Walla Walla,
and who had fled their homes fol- safely
And that he refused to send any of the
forces under his command to protect the
people in Southern Oregon, those lives and
property were almost daily being destroyed
or endangered by Indians.

SEED CoRy-We reccilect one or two
springs after the extreme cold winters, that
the farmers could scarcely get any corn to
grow, Il looked sound and clear, and they
had DO mistrust until the first planting had
rotted in the ground. They thought the
corn was killed By the cold winters. We
would suggest TO our corn raiscrs, the pro-
pretty of testing the matter, before plant
ing their fields. Corn planting is likely to
be late this year, from present app carances,
and i. would be a sad calamity, if corn
should not be planted in time to mature,
before hard frosts come in the fall

Mr.. Marcy, on Privateering.
WASHINGTON, AUGUST IL

WASHINGTON, August IL.
The following is the substance of Mr. Marcv's
reply to the declaration concerning maratime law
adopted by the Penipotentiaries the Allied Pow
ers and submitted to the President bv Count Sar-
tege.
The President declines acceptance, and Mr..
Marcy presents the most urgent reasons for so
doing. and also argues that il was unwise for ma
tons to surrender the dominion of the ocean to
those having powerful navics. The President pro-
poses TO add to the first proposition in the declara
ton of the Congress ut Paris the following words:
'And that tn" private property of citizens or sub
ects of billigcrent on the high seas Of the
other biIligcrent, except it he contraband.' Thus
amended, tie Government ofthe United States will
adopt, together with the other three powers, the
principles contained in that declaration.
81 am directed continues Mr.. Marcy, 'to COM
mrncate the approval of the President to the Sc
cond, third and fourth propositions, independently
of the first, should the amendment prove unaccep-
table. The amendment is commended BY so many
powerful considerations, and the principle which
calls for it has long had the emphatic sanction
of all emil ,htened nations in military operations,
that the President is reluctant to believe that il will
meet with any serious opposition. Without the
proposed modification of the first principle, he
cannot convince himself that it would be wise or
safe to change the existing law in regard to the
right of privateering.

to, have been used for the protection of
life. liberty and property. and for the
maintenance of law and order, in the Ter
ritory.
Fourth. That the election under which
the sitting delegate, John w. Whitfield,
was held. was in pursuance of valid law,
and should be regarded as valid election.
Fifth. That tho said Whitfield, at said
election, received large number of legal
without opposition, he was duly elected as
a delegate to this body, and is entitled to a
seat OH this floor as such.
Sixth. That the election under which
the contesting delegate, Andre H. Reed
er, claims his seat, was not held under any
law, but in contemptuous disregard of all
law; and that it should only be regarded as
the expression of band of malcontents
and revolutionists, and consequently should
be wholly disregarded by the House.
Seventh. AS to whether or not Andrew
H. Reeder received the greater number Of
votes of resident citizens on the 9th, than
J. w. Viii field, did on the last of October
1856, no testimony was taken bv the com
mi,tee, so far as the undersigned knows,
nor is it material to the issue.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
