About ApprOpriations-Ths U. S. Courts, &c.

AbOut ApprOpriatiOnS-The U. s. Courts, &c.
The question Of the early payment Of our
accumulating war debt, is one of vital i'm
portance to the citizens of the whole Terri
tory. Could Congress look in upon us, and
rightly understand and appreciate the priva-
tion and misery which this Indian war has
entalled upon all classes of our citizens,
there is not q shadow of doubt but that
provision would at once be made for their
relief. But it is difficult for persons accus-
toned to the staidness and quietude Of
thickly settled communities, to form o just
idea of the really suffering condition to
which our citizens are reduced. The re-
cent attacks Of the Indians have driven the
settlers along the Columbia, almost to man
from their homes, to take shelter in towns,
or in the uncomfortable quarters of block
houses-all civil authority being virtually
suspended-as much so, as though martial
law were declared over that region.
We are informed that it was found i'm.
possible to hold q term of the U. s. court
in the lst Judicial district-that Jurors,
and the attendance OF witnesses, &c, could
not be obtained. A few days previous to
the time Of holding the court at Cascade
city, the town was attacked and burned
At Vancouver, Clarke county, part of
the jurors summoned to appear, came for
ward and asked, unanimously, to be relieved
from duty-stating that hostile Indians
were known to be in the vicinity, and that
their time was indSpensabIy necessary in for
tifying, securing their property, &c. They
were accordingly dismissed. In CowliIz
county, we learn that neither jurors or
sheriff appeared. Pacific and Chehalis
counties were no better prepared, and con-
sequently no courts. We are further in-
formed that in the Sd Judicial district,
with the exception of Island county, no
business of Importance has, as yet, been
I.r
Thus are the settlements within our Ter
ritory broken up, and seed-time employed
in actual engagements with the enemy, or
in the erection of defences. The substance
Of the country is being absorbed in the
prosecution Of the war-our farmers, 10
many instances nobly devoting their whole
time and means in furtherance Of the cause.
They find it impossible, fully to cultivate
their lands-their horses, cattle, grain, &c, ),
are furnished on the faith Of the general
government-they looking to Congress for
a speedy remuneration, without which they
are left destitute. Will the present Con-
greSs turn deaf ear to their necessities :
We have faith to believe that il there is
any justice in the majority Of the present
Congress, our delegate will obtain full
share for the people of this Territory.

I INDIAN PRIsoNERs. The military COM
mission organized for the trial Of the Indian
prisoners, taken by detachment of regu-
lars under command Of It. KAUrz, referred
to last week, have brought the business
before them to close. All the Indians,
q in number, we believe.) were found
guilty. One has been sentenced to be
hung; another has been sentenced to wear
a ball and chain, and four years hard
labor; another to imprisonment during
hostilities, and so on-each being awarded
punishment in accordance with the evidence
adduced, as to the magnitude Of bis offence.
Three additional Indian prisoners have
been brought to this place, during the past
week; two from the reservation in the
neighborhood Of Seattle, were brought on
board the r. B. Potter, on "Wednesday last,
and the third was sent in from the reserva-
tion on the. Sawamisb, on yesterday. We

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE
(oT THE PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT.
WASHINGTON CRY, DIST. Col, I
March An, 1856.


Ed. PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT
The federal city has been in state Of
fermentation for the past two weeks. First,
the Kansas question Stirred 'em up"
After the "negro worshiping" agitators
had received the mortal blow given them
by the Presidents proclamation, they made
desperate efforts to resusitate. They tried
to deprive Kansas Of representative in
Congress by obtaining power for the com
mittee on elections to delay report on the
contested seat until the end Of the session,
by summoning all the negro worshipers "
in Kansas to swear Reeder into his desired
position. In this they failed; though the
question is not yet settled as to who shall
hold the seat. The committee on elections
in the House still have the matter under
consideration. In the meantime, we have
had several strong, powerful speeches on
each side in the Senate. The NEGRO wor-
shippers" talk strong fanaticism. They are
answered with strong facts and common
sense. A few days since, John P. Hale,
the Talleryrand Of their band, entertained
the Senate for one days session with a
bombastic stump speech, filed from begin
ming to end with bMneOnsbc for the approach
ing election in New Hampshire. He was
answered most effectually and severely,
justly, keenly rebuked for his degradation
of his position. by Mr.. Toombs, of Georgia,
Such things evince the spirit of the coming
contest for President. This Kansas-Ne-
braska bill is to be tie issue. Upon that
Issue we viii gain an easy victory. The
Know Nothings will not be in the race.
Their Philadelphia nominations arc laughed
at all over the country, and the party itself
Is esteemed defunct. NEGRO worshipers "
Is now the name Of the opposition to Demo-
cratic principles. Their object is the same
as it ever has been-to consolidate the
powers Of the government, and stihe. and
destroy the rights of the States. Their
nominee will probably be W. H. Seward,
of New York. Benton's name is now men,
toned in that connection. This is all stuff
Their leaders think the people are simple
enough to be gulled by the show Of liberali-
ty which the mention Of Old Bullion's name
is to make. He will not be their nominee
nor will any other man who does not bow,
humbly and sincerely to their negro-God.
See If this is not true.
Another most exciting matter, for a
short time past, is the prospect Of trouble
with England on the enlistment question
The history Of that whole matter, "i in a nut
SHE'LL" is this 3: England sent agents to
the United States to enlist soldiers for the
Crimean war. The United States protest
ed against the procedure as violation Of
both our municipal and international laws.
England replied that instructions had been
given to those agents "not to violate our
laws "-and to prevent further violations,
their agents should be Withdrawn. The
United States said in reply to this our
international laws had been violated, and
that violation was also an indignity, be-
cause the minister of Great Britain himself
had been instrumental in causing the viola
ton. That minister was still near our gov
ernment, and an apology would be expect

Col. CORNELIUS DIsPATcHEs.-It will be
observed that the first page Of to-day's
paper is mainly occupied with the official
reports Of Col CORNELIUS, LIST Regt. o. M.
Va perusal Of which will furnish the
reader with concise history Of the move
ments of that regiment, from the 9th Of
March up to April 18th. As we desire to
preserve something like connected Official
history of the present war, these dispatches
will be found useful as q matter Of future
reference. The campaign east Of the Cas-
cades has been a severe one-attended
with very considerable amount Of suffer
ing, and the last engagement Of the volun-
teers with Kamiakin's force, near Canon
Greek, has clearly proved that the Indians
have at no time been in force on the other
side Of Snake river-that their demonstra-
ton in that direction was mere strategy
to decoy our volunteers as far away from
the settlements as possible, and that the
body of the hostile force is not far removed
from the eastern slope Of the mountains.

 MT. Buchanan remarked that his election had been alluded to, and he might be expected to say something on that point He had been elected to the high and responsible office of President, and he thanked them most sincerely for their congratulations; but whether the event would prove to be matter of congratulation, time alone can determine. Without saving which party was right or which was wrong, the fears of the father of his country" had at last been realized, and we now behold sec- tional party--one portion of the Union arrayed Tn political hostility against the other Ihe ob- Ject cf his administration oouM De 10 destroy any sectaonat party-Noath or Soeth-anm harmonize dH sections cf tue Union under e national and GonseT'atsve gooernment as it ecas fifty gears ago. U nless this be done the time may come when these sectional animosties which now unhap- plly exist may break up the farest and most perfect form of government the sun ever shone upon. But he trusted that the same Power which had watched over and preserved us in the past, will continue to smile upon us and make us prosperous, united and happy people, In conclusion, he said, that if he could in any degree be the honored instrument of allayng this sectional excitement and restoring the go- vernment to the principles and policy of the fathers, he would then feel that he had not as sumed the arduous duties of the office in vain.
 At the conclusion ofMr. Buchanan's remarks, of which we have given but rapid outlne his guests retired, each one received cordial shake of the hand.

AWfullY SnhIen Death-

The New Orleans papers announce the death of Judge John C. Larue, of that city. The Picayune says
 "The manner of his death was awfully sud- den. His wife had been indisposed and he remained home to keep her company. He lav on low sofa, quite well and uncommonly cheerful. She reclined along the foor leaning on hls shoulder, his arm about her-the child on the sofa playing with its father. Suddenly the little girl asked abruptly, Papa, what makes your eyes roll so :? and, with convul sive stretch, he said to his wife, My darling. am dying v Not unused to spasms ofillnesS, she answered, Don't dear-dont frishten me so.' I tell you,' he replied, with emphasis. am dying She started to get restoratives he said No, no.' She rushed to the window. calling for servants A doctor doctor :, and turning, saw his face distorted and his hands clenced. His only words were, No, no-let me die in peace ' when his face recovered a smiling expression, his limbs relaxed, and he breathed but two or three times again. The shrieks of his wife and child alarmed the house and neighborhood; but all efforts at resuscita- tlon failed. From fullness of life to torpid death the interval was scarcely five minutes.
 Judge Larue was native of New Jersey. He came out to New Orleans about twentv-two years ago, and was engaged for some time as tutor in family. He worked at one time as a printer, and early connected himself with the press in an editorial capacity.
