mslead the public mind, with a view to in.
jure Oregon and the character of her peo.
pie We care not who it was-should il
be Gen Wool himself-we pronounce the
assertion false, and the motive disreputoble
in the extreme. Now as to "the charac.
ter for prompttude and energy, by the dis
tingushed veteran ut the head of this de-
partment, and his brilliant military reputa-
tion," We have nothing to say except that
he has displayed neither in his agency thus
far in the present Indian war. Whatever
laurels he may have won elsewhere we hope
he may wear them TO the latest moment Of
his temporal existence. Gen Wool, how.
ever, cannot compromise or misreprescnt
the people Of Oregon by Misrepresentation
or misstatemelts, without correction. His
brilliant military character, though earn
ed in many hard fought field" does not
license him or his friends TO misstatc facts.
We regret the necessity Of bciug com.
PEELED TO take issue with Gen. Wool upoU
matters Of public interest to our common
country. But as the plain facts in the case
form an important link iu the history of
Nhlo luulAu hul III WHICH nOl Oill1 IlC Iuui-
actor Of the country, its future interests and
prosperity are deeply involved, as well as
that Of the governor and other public OIL
GERS of this territory; we deem ii our pub
lie duty to enter our solemn protest and to
correct the falsity Of the statements copied
above.
That We may be fully understood, we say
in conclusion, that SO far as we know, the
officers of the U. S. army, with the exccp-
tion Of Gen. Wool and Major Rains, have
always manifested a commendable zeal, and
exhibited q laudable interest in bringing
this Indian war to speedy close. They
have exhibited on all occasions the true
spirit Of patriotism@Ad gallantry character
istic of the true soldier, and friend to the
country which they serve.
Gen. Wool has been guilty we believe,
Of misstatements Of facts and Major Rains
Of uuollicer like conduct in conducting this
war. Therefore we have said what we
knew to be true; and take the responsible
ty Of establishing by unquestioncd evidence,
whenever called for, everything we have

He trusts that the sound sense of tn
people of Kansas Territory, who by the it
orgaic law possesses the right to determin,
their own domestic relations, will preven
any inSurrectionary acts which would justi
fy the interposition Of the Federal Execu
tive.
The condition of the Treasury and thu
revenue for the fiscal year are highly favor
able and satisfactory. A balance of fifteer
millions will remain on hand on the 3Otl
June next, after paying the Texas indem
nifty of $7,s5O,OOO, and 100000 tC
Mexico. The estimated expenditures fol
the fiscal year are $50, 100000.
An early revision and reduction of the
tariff of duties on imports are recommended
The course Of President Pierce, in not
dcferring longer the discharge of his con-
stitutional duty Ito give to Congress in
formation Of the state of the Union, and
recommend to them such measures as he
shall judge necessary and expedient," is
commended widely, aud only disapproved
by the disorganizing factions in the House
and their sympathizers. Whether Speak
er be installed in another month or not,
seems q matter Of no great concern.
Very important recommendations are
submitted in reference to the army and the
navy, and the Post Office department.
ln speaking of the message, the WISH
ingtOn correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun
says:
" The Presidents message continues to
be the subject Of general remark in all cir
cles, and, on the whole, is more acceptable
than documents Of the sort generally are
to all parties. | am confirmed in the opin-
ion that the views Of the message as TO the
state Of negotiations with England meet
with general appreciation. Bat at the
same time there is nothing in the whole
dispute-some Of Lord Palmerston's pre-
conceived opinions aside-thNt presents an
obstacle 10 the adjustment Of the question
relative to Central America. Our mani
fest destiny will soon settle that matter
without the aid Of diplomacy. sr 1l-
o 40 q majority Of Congress, judging
from the votes given to-day, the views Of
thosmessage are also acceptable, aud that
this majority represents the opinions aud
feelings Of a vast mass Of the Northern
people, and Of the whole South, there is no
doubt" ,.,.r....a.. ,.....

BY the arrival Of the Pacific Y we have
Liverpool dates to- 18th -ult. Accounts
from the Crimea are to tho 3Oth ult.---
There has been skirmish between the
Russians and the French, but oil military
Operations on large scale were suspended.
Firing was still kept up between the north
and the south side of SebastopoI. The al
lies were still busily engaged in demolish-
ing the city, and Constructing shelter for
themselves out of the ruins. f..
Kars, whose gallant defense against an
assault by the Russians shed so much lus-
tire upon the Turkish arms, has at last fall
en- into the hands Of the enemy. Starva-
tion accomplished what the guns and bayo-
nets of the Muscoyites failed to achieve.
There has been ample time to relieve this
devoted garrison, and it is o disgrace to the
Turkish government that it should have
met with such fate. 1t is a victory Of
more Importance than the French and Eng
lish papers are willing to admit. .,
The Government has received no adVi-
ces whatever authorizing the opinion that
formal peace propositions have been sub
mitted to the Allies by Austria. Verbal
oTertures were made on the former bases,
aud messengers had been passing between
Eve different European Courts, exchanging
views upon the new programme Of accom-
modation.
The MOniIeHr Of Paris has published an
article stating (semioficially) that the
treaty now concluded between France,
England and Sweden, is calculated to pre-
vent any complication of a nature that will
disturb the balance of Europe Sweden
agrees to not cede any Of her territory to
Russia, nor to make any exchange Of terri
tory with her nor to allow her the right
Of pasturagc or fishery ground on the coast
Of Sweden. i-nai t.H9 1..
Norway, it is said, will reject any pre-.
tensions Of Russia to exercise such rights,
and will inform the Allies Of any PROPOSE
tion from Russia touching said matters.
The Allied Powers engage to provide
Sweden with sufficient naval power TO re-
sist all claims Of that nature, or other ag-
gressions on the part Of Russia There Is
secret clause appended to the treaty, pro-
vidiug- that Sweden shall, in time, take the
field against Russia. srs g.,

for Congress. The election takes place on
on the third Tuesday in January. Col.
Lane, who was Robinson's opponent for the
the nomination, was defeated by vote Of
55 to %.
The letter further states that Gov. Shan
non and Sheriff Jones talk of resignng il
the people Of Missouri will not keep quiet
and mind their own business.
The following is given as the substance
Of the settlement Of the Kansas troubles by
Gov. Shannon and Messrs G. Robinson and
