LATER News FROM SourlITRs OREcoN.-
The Yreka Union learns from the Jackson
vile Sentinel that Capt. Abel George ar
rived in that place on the 10th, for the pur-
pose of moving his family to place of safety.
He furnishes the following items
The report current here some days since,
that the Indians were camped on tributary
of Illinois river and that the Southern Bat
tallion had started out to attack them, proves
to be false.
Lieut.. Col. Chapman is concentrating the
entire force of the Southern Battalion at
Havs'. in Deer creek valley and making ar
rangements to start in pursuit of the Indians
as soon as the spies shall report their where
abouts. Efficient spies are out in quest oil
the enemy, and report that the trail bears to-
wards the Meadows. Capt. Lewis, oi the
Galce creek company, 9th regiment, which
war disbanded when the mounted volunteers
were organized, has received orders to RAISE
spy company From his knowledge OF In
dian tactics and thorough acquaintance with
the geography of the country, he is pronoun-
ced to be peculiarly fitted for the service.
The officers and men are well pleased with
the course of Lieut. Col Chapman, and good
order and harmony prevails in the ranks
They feel confident that they will soon chas-
tise the Indians
They have plenty of supplies, except cloth
ing and forage.
Col. Kelsey, with the Northern Battalion,
is at Grave Greek Capt. George is not
aware what are his proposed operations
But we may rest assured that he will not
remain idle
Nothing has been heard from Capt. Smith,
U. S. A., and his command. 1t is presumed
that he is at or near the mouth of Rogue
river. The rumor that has been ahoat, to
the effect that Captain Smith had an engage
ment with the Indians and lost twenty-five
or thirty men, is supposed to be false

PARTICULARS OF THE LYNcHING AT COULTER
vIIIE-The Marposa Gazette contains the
following particulars in relation to the lyneh-
ing affair at Coultervile:
In another part Of our paper we noticed
the murder of Mr.. Conway in the streets at
Coulterville, on Tuesday last, without provo
cation of cause, by Chleno named Pancho,
who Immediately fed. Through the polite
ness of Jack Metson, mail carrier, we are III
formed of acts of the people of that place
which have followed, as the consequences OF
the commission of this most foul murder.
Immediately after the shooting of Conway,
parties were organized and commenced to
scour the country in pursuit of the murderer
On Wednesday, one Of these parties came
upon three ChilenoS, companions OF Pancho
two were shot, and one Alvarado was brought
into town, tried by Lynch law and hung. IT
is also said that a number more have been
shot. One party who have penetrated to the
head of the North Fork, sent in an express
last night for more men stating that they had
eorralled Pancho, but we have no particulars
further.
Last night the people held mass meeting
appointed Vigilance Committee, and
resolved to expel all who were caught within
ten miles, after the expiration of twelve
hours were to receive not less than thirty
lashes.
Another resolution forbids the opening o
the Fandango house again; and a sub
scriptiOn was opened to assist the Sons o
Temperance in purchasing it.

Mr.. Robert TOOmbs presented in the Senate yes
terdsy new bill for the paci6cation of Kansas,
proposing to regard all the present residents of
that Territory as legal voters, take new census,
base an apportionment thereon, and have an cleo
ton for Constitutional Convention preparatory
to admission a State) on the Tuesday succeeding
the first Monday of November next when (Mr.
Toonbs argues) the People of Missouri and other
States will be too busy with the Presidential
Election at home to invade and Overrun Kansas.
This bill has an outside show of fairness, but
lacks the essential quality in several important
particulars, viz:
l. 1t denies any voice in the settlement OF the
Slavery question in Kansas to the hundreds of bona
.fde settlers who have been driven out by the BOr-
der Ruffisns-sOme by sham indictments or war
rants charging them with treasOn some by hauling
them up to the limbs of a tree by rope around
their necks and holding them there until they were
ready to swear that they would forthwith leave the
Territory and never return to it; and Others by
mere terror denunciation, annoyance and spOlia-
ton.
2. 1t leaves the Slave Laws imposed on Kansas
by Border. RDfian invasion and foul voting in full
force, thus destroying the Freedom Of Speech and
of the Press and precludng the reestabIisbment of
a single Free.State journal or the uterance of
hearty Free-State speech in Kansas.
3. 1t puts the whole business of taking the GEN.
sus, dividing the embryo State into Election and
Delegate Districts, appOrtOning the Delegates,
holding the Election, counting the votes, &c, into
the hands of the Pierce office holders and those
appointed by the bogus Legislature.
In short, Mr.. Toombs fances that the Reign of
Terror has so far done its work that his Slavery
extending compatriots in Kansas can now hold the
Territory, wththe help of the Federal Office holders,
and he wants to bring the matter to issue before the
Presidential Election shall transfer the Federal
power to Free-State hands. Thank you for moth
ing, Mr.. T.

The condition and prospects, the wrongs and
needs of unhappy Kansas, are the special order in
the House of Representatives to morrow, and we
trust their consideration will not be postponed nor
intermitted until some positive result is attained
If it be urged that the evidence taken by the In
ves,igating Committee just returned from Kansas
should be printed before the question Is TAKEN we
would answer, BY all means let the testimony be
printed as speedily asIpossible, but, meantime let
the discussion proceed. The House Printer Is
Pro- Slavery Buchanante and can easily call to his
aid half the printing offices of Washington and
Baltimore, and have the work stereotyPed and
running off his steam presses at the rate OF ten
thousand copies per day within one week from the
hour the copy is placed in his hands, II he only
will; aid if the allies and champions OF the Border
Ruffians really want the testimony on their desks
before voting they have but to speak to their PRINT
er and have the whole document in print early
next week. But it is plain enough they don't
want 10 see the testimony, and would not read 1t if
it were row before them. Up to this hour not one
of the two thousand Journals hostile to the Free
State party of Kansas has chosen to publish even
one days testimony taken before the Investigating
Committee. Not one of them has sent cor
respondent to attend and report the Developments
before said Committee. Not one of them has re-
buked the iDcessant detractibn to which the Com.
mittee has been subjected by the Border Ruffans
and their compatriots, nor resented the indgnites
to which it was subjected by the arrest by
Shannon, String fellow and DOnaldsons direction,
of its witnesses and officers before its face, on the
most frivolous pretenses. In short, every effort
has been made to disparage and break down the
investigation by the very interest which will now
pretend that the Kansas case cannot be properly
acted ON By the House until the evidence shall
have been printed. Meanwhile every exertion VIII
be made to force an early adjournment, through
combined vote Of the Buchanan and Fillmore
Members, so as to turn over Kansas to the tender
mercies of Pierce and the Missouri borderers'
Atchison snd JEFF Davis, Stringfellow and Shan
non. We trust this combination will be foilsd,
but it is a very strong one, and the leaders are
desperate In resisting them, We call attention TO
these facts:
I. There is no longer shadow OF support i"r
the pretenss that Slavery can't 60 into kansas
that the struggle concerning il turns on an abstfac
ton. On the contrary Slavery is already there II
