We have published full accounts of the murder
Of Mr.. King in San Francisco. The sorrow aud

1t is very curious fact that the same sort of
complaints which have been made in England
and the United States, within the past thirty
years, respecting the introduction of railway
communication, were also made when coaches
were first introduced. In pamphe, called tho
Great Concern of England Explained" publish
ed in 1873, the writer very gravely attempts to
make out that the introduction of coaches was
running the trade of England. The following is
an example of his method of reasoning: Before
coaches were set up travellers rode on horseback
and men had boots spurs, saddles brides, sad
die cloths. and good riding suits, coats and
cloaks, stocking and hats, whereby the wool and
leather of the kingdom were consumed. Most
gentlemen, when they travelled on horseback
used to ride with swords, belts pistols, holsters.
pormanteaus, and hatcases, for which, in the ST,
coaches they have little or no occasion. For
then they rode in one suit and carried another 10
wear when they came to their journeys end but
in coaches they ride in silk suit, silk stockings
beaver hats, ect., and carry no other with them
This is because they escape tho wet and dirt
which. upon horseback. they cannot avoid;
whereas, in two or three journeys on horseback
these clothes aud hats wont to be spoiled;
which done. they were forced to have new very
often and that increased the consumption of
manufactures.

The arrival Of the next steamer from Europe is
looked for with great interest and anxiety. 1t
will bring the news Of the effect produced in Eng
land by the dismissal Of Mr.. Champion, and the
action of that government ia the premises. We
confess that matters at this time have to us rath-
&, er threatening aspect, and notwithstanding the
pacific tone of Lord Clsrendons speech, and the
hope Of the moderate men in both countries, that
no serious difficulty will occur between Great
Britain and the United States, au Impression be-
gins to prevail very generally. that the next arri-
val will bring unpleasant and unfaxersble news.
The dismissal Of Mr.. Champion and the recogni-
ton of Padre Viii coming together, appear to
make "a complication of affairs not desired
We are, however, at the same time Of the opinion
that nothing has yet occurred which wise and
prudent statesmen ought not to be a BILE to settle,
without resort to war

GENERAL SCoTT THE PACIFICAToR.--We can
not deny General Scott the first rank as military
man, or as negotiator with an army in his
hands. Nothing has indicated more the correct
of his instincts nor the amcable tendencies
of his character than his conduct on similar &C.
casions, when it seemed that negotiation was at
end and force inevitable 1t appears us if he
was born for such emergencies. We cannot for
get his admirable menag cement of our Seminole
Difficult les, nor the Maine boundary question, nor
the difficulties on the Niagara frontier nor his
conduct in South Carolina. On all these occa-
sions he was apeaceful Caesar, who came and saw
and conquered by kind words, rather than the
javelln. He has established the highest reputa-
ton for skfulness in composing disquetude;
and it is no wonder that the politicians of Wash
ington, having been foied in all their articles to
embroil and yet not to embroil the country, find
themselves poweress in moment of real danger.
General Scott, of all the men in this country. is
best adapted to the exigency which has co me
upon us. The proposition of Mr.. Crittendon hits
the rail on the head.--N Y. Herald

From the Portland (Oregon) Argus
4 Tale of Horror.

We heard flying report some three weeks
ago that several Indians had been murdered at
the Cascades, but forbore to say anything
about it till we should learn the particulars. We
have since learned the particulars and with
fuce crimsoned with shame for tho human kind,
we proceed to lay them before the public The
Indians murdered consisted of the family of Spen-
Ger, chief who resides at Vancouver, and was
made up of his father,an old grey headed Irdian
his tSpencer's) wife, and four chdren-a daugh-
ter nearly grown. and three younger sons. one of
which was sucking babe. The Indians had
5een up to the Daes, in tho service of the Uni
ted States Government, and were on their way
back TO Vancouver, under charge of Col. Joseph
Meek and having regular passes about their per-
sons. In making the portage at the Cascades, it
seems That they were overtaken by men,
| (if such they might be called and forcibly ia
ken from Col. Meek, whose life they threatened,
aud ono after The other murdered by means
of strong cord, which was tied around the neck
and twisted with stick till life was extinct
| The girl was violated by these fends before her
| life was taken. The annals of Indian barbarity
| furnish n~ instance of cold blooded, diabocal,
cowardly villainy, that can much transcend this
act, which has stamped the character Of our Ter
ritory with foul blot, which will stick to it long
after the perpetrators of that act aud those who
countenanced it, are dead and damned. A few
more such acts as this, and Oregon will be u by
word and kissing among the civilized nations of
the earth.

throughout the whole Union. Whilst he dis

as he now by party ties or fea'ty to any can

ton for peace; and in this work he invoked the
aid of the experienced and rejecting members of
the Senate. lie pointed out briefly his objec-
tons 10 the bill of Mr. Douglas and to that Of Mr.
Seward. and expressed his opposition 10 any
measure for the early admission of Kansas into
the Union State. So far from such step
quoting the country, it would only have the ten
dency Of increasing existing evils. Coming
from State, which, though partly slaveholding,
had been always conservative and true to the u
Mon. Mr.. Clayton felt that he might with propri-
ETY. interpose measure of peace and Cancellation.
He offered it with the hope that it might be met
in spirit of candor and patriotism, and be the
means Of dispensing the darkest cloud that had
ever lowered over this happy country. The bill
was ordered TO he printed.
Mr. Adams, of Mississippi, then addressed
the Senate Mt some length in support of his bill
10 amend tho naturalization laws so as to extend
the term Of probation Of an alien to twenty -one
years. Mr. A. quoted some striking passages
from the views OF the old statesmen of the country
at the formation of the Government, and of emf
ncnt men since that day including Mr.. Buchanan.
and presented an array of statistics, bearing up
on the present condition of the country, to show
that by the infusion of foreigners the most seri-
Gus results might be apprehended to our republi-
can institutions. No vote was taken upon the
bill and the Senate adjourned to Thursday.

SLIGHT MISTAKE. The Boston Evening
Gazette says that an old gentleman was one
morning passing through Howard street, during
an engagement of the "eminent tragedan," Mo.
Kean Buchanan. his attention was arrested by
what he considered unnatural sounds, issuing
from the Howard Ahenaum. The old gent not
being aware of his location, or the rules. of thea
tres, from curiosity assembled the front steps
The noise still ringing in his ears he mounted to
the first tier; After he had for while gazed with
establishment upon the stage, he aocosted
by one of the employees of the establishment,
thus:
"Who do you wish to see sir :"
mo one. sir, in particular; but heard a noise
from this building, and a citizen | came in to
ascertain the cause of disturbance.
mo disturbance here sir; the manager don't
allow those things
Then from whence come these uncouth
sounds Z"
"Mr. Buchanan sir" is rehearsing Macbeth
"Oh-yes-I beg your pardon. thought it
was dog fight"

Lord JOHN RUSSELL, i'll a discourse recently
Delivered IN London upon the "Study of Human.
ity,' gave utterance to tho following noble senti-
ments in favor of the preservation of cordial and
friendly relations between Great Britain and the
United States:
" The manner of our separation from the Uni
ted States was to be regretted more than the fact
OF the separation; for they were told by travel.
lers IN the States of New England that the books
In which the young men were taught at this day
contained accounts of that fatal contest des.
cribing the successes of the Americans, how
bravely they had fought, and how they had
achieved their independence against the attempts
of the British King and the British Parliament
lie was looking the other day, with n very diff
terent object to the present, at the form of oath
taken by New England statesmen, and he found
that they swore never to obey any successor of
George III. We might say this was unwise on
their part and that the contest having ceased long
ago they ought not to recoll-ct it; but he lord
John kasselD must own what had been done was
an effect that might have been foreseen of the
injustice OF our attempt to enslave those people
mat was bad seed producing bad fruit; and we
might observe that, following the same teaching,
whenever there was any trihinp DISPUTE between
this country and the United States there were not
wanting persons who endeavored to inhame il
VINO endeavored TO induce the Americans t, be-
heVe mat we were always wishing to get an adj

which We are deriving from the sins of our faith
