SwanvIIIe-ImprOVementS &c.

Amidst the depression aud monotony In
almost every kind of business to which this
territory has been subjected for the past
year, it is quite refreshing to observe the
improvements which are being made in the
eastern addition to the town Of Olympia,
on the claim Of JOHN NJ. SWAN, Esq, who
has surveyed and laid of portion Of the
same for town site Where but two SOL
itary buildings stood one year ago, over a
dozen neat and substantial dwellings have
loomed up, giving to that once droary and
forbiddng looking locality, q cheerful and
inviting appearance. This new addition
possesses as commanding a view Of the bay
and surrounding scenery as does Olympia,
and we learn that quite number OF addi-
tional buildings will be erected in that di-
rection during the fall and coming winter.
The street leading across the bridge to the
new addition has been placed in excellent
order during the summer, affordiug pleas
ant transit hther and thither; and, by the
way, from all appearances, that street bids
fair, ere long, to be by far the most pleas
ant one for residences in town.
Olympia, too, has progressed somewhat
in the way of improvement in buildings du-
ring the summer Quite number of dwell
lings have gone up and are in process oil
erection, and we observe from our window
lust now, that " Syirsster castle" comes dash
ing out in a glorious new suit OF white
paint, and that our honest German friend,
SNYDER, is "hyaekiRg" the stumps out,
marshing" and "lO-lO-iHg" level the Ill
heo around the building Taking into con
sideration the dearth in all kinds Of bust
ness-that large proportion of the people
of this county have either been in the
tented field" or corralled in block-hOuses
much of the time for the past year, we
think the improvements in and around
Olympia, speak very favOrably for the en-
terpfise of its citizens.

Lastly, ! had desired to say something
of the present condition oil that country,

In the infancy of their settlements, they
were weak when this war broke out upon
them. The United States troops were 100

In the late council we cannot think otherwise than
that tbe Sunerintendent of Indian Aairs (Goyernor

of the Territory and to the general government. No

The WEArHER.-Thus far we have had
the most pleasant fall season that has been
experienced in this latitude for the past
four years. The rains have held Of re-
markably well, afOrding abundant time to
such of our farmers as had late crops to
gather, to have them securely housed. To
those also who desired to put in an early
wheat crop, the opportunity has been
equally favorable. During the last week,
it is true, considerable rain has fallen, yet
we may possibly have much favorable
weather ere it commences coming dOtOn in
earnest.

INDIAN 0UTRAGE-We are informed bv I.
gentleman from Seattle, that on Thursday
of last week, party Of four northern stiek.
enc Indians, near Sandy Point, about Eve
miles below Seattle. made an attack upOu.
and attempted to board a small schooner.
commanded by Mr. VALENTINE. There
were two men on board the schooner b.
sides Mr.. v, and on making resistance to
the Indians coming on board, the latter
gathered up their arms and fred, killing
one Of the white men on the spot, and dan.

LATEST FROM THE HOSTILE CoUNTRY,T7Mr.
L. ALEXANDER brought an express to this
place from the Dalles on Wednesday, by
which we are furnished with few additional
items of news connected with Gov. STEVENS
late expedition to the Walla-walla valley.
The Governor, with Col. SHAw's COM
mand, reached the Dalles on the I'd inst.
Capt. GoEF and company started for the
Willamette valley on the Sd, to be muster
ed out of the service.
The Command fell in with no Indians en-
route from the valley, although fresh sign
was frequently observed. The Indians
engaged in the fight, after the breaking up
Of the council, had left the Walla-walla-
the Yakimas and Palouses going to the
Palouse-the Nez Perces to their own
country, and the remainder to the Grand
Ronde.
Col. SrEProE had arrived at the Dalles,
to confer with Col WRIGHT. on matters
connected with Indian hostlities. Colonel
SrErroE is in favor of q vigorous winters
campaign. COL WRIGHT will go in person
to the Walla-walla, and will increase the
force there with an additional company.
He purposes to supply the forces in the
Walla-walla valley by the river, and intends,
as soon as possible, to run boats from the
mouth of the Des Chutes to Fort Walla-
walla.
The principal leaders in the 6ght, Of
which an account is given in another col
umn, were Owhi's son and the Isle dc
Pierre chief. The latter had two horses
shot under him during the engagement.
Col. SHAW made two charges upon the
Indians, each time with less than twenty
Eve men. In the last charge, he was sur
rounded by nearly three hundred Indians,
but cut his way through to the pickets ;
then drew up his men, and with the assist
ance Of the packers and teamsters, thrown
out from the guard of the carrall, the enc
my were driven back. IHirteeH indians
are reported to haze been Lefl dead on thC
ground. q,
Less than one hundred men all told, it
will be observed, were obliged to take care
Of near five hundred head Of stock, and en-
gage and keep at bay some four hundred
hosties; and yet the Indians did not sue
ceed in capturing single animal, and ex-
cept in the last charge of Col. Shaw, ena-
bled to approach within three hundred
yards Of the carrall.
Gov. Stevens may be expected back here
sometime during next week.

Speech OF Col. Anderson

speech OF Col. Anderson
We take pleasure in presenting to our
readers to-day, the able and patriotic speech
of our delegate in Congress, Hon. j. PATTON
ANDERSON, on the subject of the Indian
war in Washington and Oregon territories,
delivered in committee of the whole, August
9th, 1856.
1t were unnecessary for us to ask for it
an attentive perusal. Very many of our
citizens have already read and pronounced
upon it in terms of the highest commenda-
ton, and we doubt not but that most Of
our readers will ponder over it with feelings
of pride and admiration. In our young
delegate, our youthful territory has cham
pion, in this, its hour of gloom and suffer
ing, whose voice and influence in behalf of
its slandered and outraged people, is being
sensibly felt, and telling with force against
their heartless calumnators. The speech
of Col. A. is decidedly a counting speech
Bold, concise, matter-of-fact and logical, it
is within itself fertilization of argument,
picketed round and impregnable with facts
and the eridene Every citizen of our ter
ritory must feel proud at the sharp, point
ed and unanswerable manner in which Gen.
Wool is bearded by our delegate, and the
spirit and manly patriotic pride with which
is hurled back and denounced, the gross,
objectionable Slanders of that superanuated
functionary. The vindcation of our citi-
zens from the foul aspersions cast upon
them, in various ways, by Gen. W., is most
ample, and highly creditable to the head
and heart of our delegate. Since the COM
mencement Of the session of Congress, we
very much doubt whether an hour of its time
has been more proftably or patriotically
employed than that occupied by our dele
gate and with a 'few more Of the same
sort" consumed in the same way, Congress
would soon become somewhat trathfHLly en-
lightened as to matters of fact, connected
with the Indian war in this direction. Gen.
Wool and his co-adjutors would then very
soon there be appreciated us he and they
now are here.
The manner in which our delegate turns
the tables upon that old dwelling aboli-
zionist and Indian OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
of Ohio, it will be seen, was executed in
most happy manner, and the rebuke dealt
out was richly deserved, and must have
been somewhat keenly felt.
Wepresume the old fellow never dreamed
that his Indian sympathy had led him to
expend any portion of it upon any kind Of a
slave power" and the bare thought Of such
thing ought to drive him into mourning
and penance to make suitable atonement to
his conscience. He must have felt supreme
ly ridiculous on finding that his sympathy,
for once, had led him into the wrong pew
that in his opposition to the appropriation
bill for the payment of the expenses Of our
Indian war, he had been led to espouse the
cause Of the most nerciless Of slave powers.
The speech is an excellent one-mEltTm
in parro, in the fullest sense Of the term,
and will compare favorably. if not a Ittle
more so, with one recently delivered by Gen.
LANE, on the same subject, which we pub
lished some months since.

Fall Of the a. Charter Oak"
HARTFORD, Conn, Thursday,
Aug. q, 1856

The Charter Oak" fell this morning at
1919 o'clock, with tremendous crash, and
but six feet of the stump now remains.
This famous tree was far past its prime
when the charter was concealed in it on
the 9th Of May, 1889, and was probably
an old tree when Columbus discovered the
New World. 1t stood upon the old Wyllis
estate, now owned by the Hon. J. W.
Stuart. Crowds Of citizens are visiting the
ruins, and each one bears away q portion
Of the venerable tree.

NEWS ITEMS
BY THE LAST NAIL AND EXPRESS



misunderstanding to recent accounts
it would seem that hostilities have RECON-
menced in Kansas. On the night Of the
18th ult. the town Of Franklin, inhabited
by some twenty pro-slavery men, was at
tackled by a party Of two hundred free
State men, who, after combat of four
hours duration, succeeded in capturing the
place, robbing the Post office, and firing
the houses. The assailants finally retreat
ed, carrying with them the cannon belong
ing to the town. The reports as to the
loss of life in the encounter are conflicting,
one stating that four pro-slavery men and
six free soilers were killed, while another
report estimates the free soil loss at seven
teen in killed and wounded. The day af.
ter the fight, a detachment of United States
troops, numbering one hundred, occupied
the town. Three hundred of Gen. Lanes
men are said to have entered Topeka.
B0There are reports ofhalf dozen san
culinary conflicts, in which the free State
men appear to have gained some advantage.
1t is also reported that the town of Lecomp-
ton has been captured, and that Gov. Rob
inson and the other State prisoners have
been rescued. There is, however, reason
to suppose that these accounts are highly
colored, and that they have been started
to influence the present state Of affairs at
Washington.
