The Foreign News.

There appears be nothing noticeable in the foreign
advices by the Atlantic. There is the same talk of
negotiations through Austria, with which the world
has been amused any time within the last two or
three years. Consos are shade lower, which does
indicate any real confidence in the peace prospects
held out.

serve. 1t is the finest, and so far as we
are able to judge, the most conect large
map extant. The late government sur.
veys and explorations /; the new Rail

all noted in this new map. In addition,
there ale valuable statistical tables, con-
tanning much valuable information, such

to do likewise.
The Signs of the Times.

There is enough in the events which
have transpired within the last few days,
in the United States, to caus every nan
who takes the slightest interest in pub
lie affairs, to pause, and to look forward
with deep anxiety to the future ; enough
to cause the blood of every lover of free
dom to boil in his veins. Again has an
armed mob invaded the territory of
Kansas. this time openly 0idei by the
power of the Administrator, which sends
out a PORTION of the standing army of the
United States, for the avowed purpose Of
carrying out and enforcing laws. which
were passed by a mock Legislature,
elected by and composed of citizens of
the State of Missouri, and of planting
firmly the institution Of Slavery in the
soil of Kansas. Peaceable citizens
of the territory have been forcibly ar
rested, confined and imprisoned without
any process of law. Travellers, men of
note, have been captured and detained.
also without process of law ; their lives
endangered and their property robbed.
Again has a peaceable clergyman, a
preacher of the Methodist or Disciple
church, the Rev. Pierce Butler, been
brutality treated, tarred and feathered,
when passing through the State of Mis-
souri,, charged with no crime, but that
OF preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The investigation of the former outrages
in Kansas, and the election frauds,
which was in progress-by the Con-
gressional Committee, has been sum-
marily put al end to, by the arrest Of
Gov. Reeder /; because that investigation
was bringing to light the most shameless
oHtrages upon the rights of the free set
tiers Of Kansas. The facts were naked,
obtfusive, staring The committee in the
face. The border ~rufians made M at.
tempt to deny the charges /; On the con-
trary, they boasted of them, and glori
fed the comm ission of sll kinds of atroc.l
tiles upon the abolitionists. They scorn,
cd to skulk behind thin DISCUSSES, and
deny the truth as their representatives in
Congress had done. Therefore this
investigation must be stopped, because
the scoundi elism of Democratic Slave
P~ropagandism vas exposed.
Reeder was one member of this COM
mittee, and without him the investigs-
ton could not 60 forward /; therefore a
charge of treason is trumped against
him; treason for assuming responsible
ties in accordance with the organized
lag Of the territory, in accordance with
the Kansas Bill itself.
AT the last ad, ices, there were assem-
bled neal Lawrence, twelve hundred
ermed men, the scum Of the Southern
states. drunken, law defying rufians,
aided by the muskets. bayonets and

From California and Oregon.

The news brought by the last mail
from California is not Of much impor.
portance. The rainy season had set in
in earnest, and there had been copious
showers during the two weeks previous
to the departure Of the steamer. The
Legislature was still in session, but had
agreed to dissolve on the 21st Of April.
Nothing of special interest has been
transacted since the sailing of the pre-
vious steamer. In the House a joint
resolution vas adopted to 90 into joint
convention to elect a United States Sen
ator, but it was lost in the Senate by a
vote of Is to Is; so the election is GER
tainly defeated for this session. Pro-
positions to fund the State indv btness and
that Of San Francisco were before the
Legislature and were expected to be
adopted
The news from Oregon is to the 12th
of April. We select a few extracts in
relation to the Indian war in Oregon
and Washington Territories, where it ap-
pears the Indians are still causing much
trouble to the people:
I'VE learn from ]. O'Neill, says the
O~regonian, who is just over from Van
couver, that news came down yesterday
thatone thousand Indians were approach
ing upon the Dalles from the north, and
were within ten miles of that place
Also that Pearson, the mountain express
man, had followed the trail of the Indi-
n who were defeated at the Cascades
some ten miles towards the Dalles.
There is no doubt that Those Indians
who destroyed the Cascades have gene
back to the main body of Kamaikin's
command.
There is now no doubt, says the Or.
egOnian, but that the call for a conven-
ton to organize a State Government has
been voted down bv The D~eonle.o

port of that Convention, and TO continue

into every neighborhood of the County.
The terms are fixed at the lowest
cash price, with no allowance for profit;

Friday of each week, and will be about
half the size of the Chronicle, and will
