Revision Of the Statutes Of the Ter rltOry.

Some weeks since, special joint COM
mittee was appointed by the Legislature,
consisting Of three members Of the house
and two of the council, charged with the
duty Of revising the statutes of the terri
tory, and making such alterations therein
and amendments thereto, as were deemed
necessary, and demanded, in order to con-
form the same and the practice of the
courts to the act of congress of Aug. 18th,
1856.
Hon. WM. Strong, chairman Of the joint
committee on the part of the house, upon
whom the labor of modification, &C., nat
uralIy devolved, has discharged the duty
to which his position assigned him, and re-
ported to majority of the committee on
Monday evening last, who gave their unan-
imous concurrence in the amendments pro-
posed to existing laws.
Judge STRONG has found the task some
what difficult and perplexing one. inasmuch
as every enactment of former sessions of the
Legislature, upon which the late law of
congress could have the least bearing, re.
quired to be closely scrutinized, in order to
ascertain whether or not it was conforma-
bic and if not, it was necessary that it
6e licked" into proper shape. The judge
is certainly deserving the thanks of the
joint committee for the cheerfulness and as
siduity with which he has applied himself
in the discharge Of duty, incumbcnent,
alike, proportionately, upon all.
To the end that no unnecessary delay
need occur in its action upon the subject
matter alluded to, tho house has ordered
that the several acts-the report Of the
committee-be printed, prior to the intro
duction of the same into that body. The
work is now in the hands Of the printer,
and We apprehend that with ordinary " fair
sailing g"-shoold no vexed questions, in
the meantime, obtrude themselves, that the
several acts and amendments will be con-
sidered and decided upon by both branches
of the legislature during the incoming week.

locality the nomination for delegate to
Congress may fall. Let the discordant
elements be quoted, and the success of the
candidate of the democracy is certain,
whoever he may be-from whatever sec
tion of the Territory he may be selected
Whatever designing men, for interested
motives, may say to the contrary, those
familiarly acquainted with us know full
well, that we are neither committed IN
faror of, or against the claims of any
prominent aspirant for the post of delegate
The accusation frequently made that the
course of this paper is, or has been con
trolled by any influence outside of this Office,
is false-ncither has any such influence
ever been sought. We belong to no man
are in no mans especial interest, and We
alone are responsible for the course of this
paper. With a united democracy in the
Geld, we can give as cordial a support to
nominee from either the north or south as
from the centre We trust simple refer
ence to the past, will be sufficient guar
antee for the future as far as nominations
for delegates to Congress are concerned.

NORTHERN INDIANs.-ThrOugh intelli-
gence received from some gentleman who
arrived at this place few days since from
Seattle, King county, We are advised that
the steamer Massachusetts, SwAErwouT, com
manding, had recently returned to the
above named place from cruise on our
northern waters, in the vicinity Of the San
Juan and other islands, whittier be had re-
paired in quest Of a band Of Northern Brit
ish-Russia Indians, which we reported last
week as being JirOuaeked in that direction.
1t appears the Massachusetts failed to as
certain their whereabouts, or any evidence
of their presence, and it is not improba-
BILE that they have left the vicinity Of our
northern settlements-minuS the five Bos.
ton" heads which they are sold to have ad-
vertised they designed to have taken with
them.
We are informed that Col l. n. EBEY
has returned from Bellingham Bay to his
home in Island county, in safety and that
the cause Of his protracted absence was
not SO much owing to the disabled condi-
tion Of his vessel, consequent upon the
late heavy gale on the Sound aAd Straits,
as from q sudden ct Of severe indisposi-
ton.

pa,r Thc mail from Oregon, as also u

n6y- The mail from Oregon, as also the
agent Of Wells, Fargo 4 Co.'S express fol
the Sound country, arrived here last night
bringing dates from the Atlantic states up
to Dec. 9th. Congress was in session, the
message Of the President delivered, and SO
far the dominant party appear to be will
ling to attend to some of their legitimate
duties os legislators-consequently the pco'
pie of our territory may receive some atten
ton. along with the sufferers in Kansas
The presidents message is quite lengthy,
too long for our columns and, as yet, we
have not had time to even read it, but VIC
will. next week, give our readers q synop
sis of the news, generally. 1.sg
We received no states mail this week,
but understand that the Columbia only
CAME to Astoria, which accounts for thii
unnecessary delny. f. l.HH

means of knowing what is transpiring east

SIR 1T is with unfeigned and heartfelt
regret we learn that you have retired from
the army, having resigned the rank Of as
sistant Surgeons post which you havt
filed with honor to your county and credi
to yourself, thus creating vacuum. moi
only in the army, but III the territory o
Washington and at this garrison in partic
lar, which will be long and deeply felt by
one and all, but, more especially, by the
members OF this command-your warm
and earnest sympathy for the distressed
and your kind treatment Of the sick, having
endeared you to every heart. During YOU
sojourn here, you have seen villages and
towns spring up as il by magic, and you orr
aware Of the vast destruction Of property
and the many valuable and innocent live:
taken, by the accursed Indians, in our
midst, during the late war. In that wal
you have taken up your rife in defence oI
our oppressed citizens, and won for yourself
the enyiable title Of The Hero Of the
Stuck" in addition to the universal admir-
alton Of the regular and volunteer troops
and the citizens of the territory. In you
oil have found q second Lieut.. Slaughter
first in battle and first in the hearts oI
your soldiers,-therefor il is with feelings
Of regret-feelings appreciated only "
those alike situated, that we attempt to
express in words the sincere regret that we
must part. When you have taken your
departure, then will we feel how deep the
vacuum thus created but rest assured
that you have our most sincere wishes for
your future happiness, success and prosper
ity 10 this world, and when called away to
render your account of the work done here
may you be presented seat at the right
hand of Him who liveth forever, and dwell
with him there in the beauty Of holiness.
As slight token Of our high regard fol
you as q man, soldier and physician
we beg leave to presently you this Ring, and
trust that you will deign to accept it,

that
:" To part when time
Has wreathed his tlreless wings with flowers,
And spread the richness Of cline l'n
OF fairy DER this land Of ours. e,u
IT'S bitter then to rend the heart,

why the Government refuses to recognize bis

Of the Indians by overland emigrants is a fruit

that the reported march of the troops towards

PUBLIC LECTURE.

Rev Thomas X BEEcHER has been invited
by the Alpha Epsilon Society to lecture in the
Court House, on Monday evening, aud will de-
liver his celebrated Lecture on :. PLAY" The
price of admission, to defray expenses, will be
% cents
This is the first Of a course Of popular lee
lures which it is proposed to give in this place
during the winter The success attending this,
will in great measure determine the success
Of the enterprise We trust that on: citizens
will take enough interest in such a laudable
undertaking, to demonstrate its practicability
and place its success beyond question. Mr.
BEEcHER has widely extended reputation as
Il popular lecturer, and we have no hesitation
in saying that those who attend will be more
than satisfied. Besides, every citizen should
feel an an interest in sustaining an attempt so
praiseworthy and profitable. Neighboring
towns, with resources not equal to ours are
able to enjoy the pleasure of hearing the most
popular lecturers Of the day, and we trust for
the credit Of the place, that such an opportu-
nifty for general Improvement will not be al
lowed to be a failure for want of public
interest and patronage.

SINGULAR CAsE-FOr some time past, a
case of alleged Iunacy has been lingering in
the courts Of New York city, the details of
which have furnished rich food for the scan
dal mongers. Yesterday, in court it came to
a sudden and unexpected conclusion While
a LAWYER was arguing in favor of the the re-
lease Of the female, Mrs Caroline Woodman,
of the insane asylum, at the suit of her FREUD,
Mr.. Furniss, the proceedings were interrupted
by the appearance Of the brother of Mrs W,
who handed to the court an application signed
by bis sister, requesting that the proceed
Jugs in her name should terminate, as she had
arranged matters amicably with her husband,
was about to return to her fathers home in
Mississippi, with her brother The case then
ended but we find in the New York Post of
last evening, an affidavit sworn to by Mrs.
Woodman, which furnishes history of the
wrongs she has suffered at the hands of the
man Furniss, who assumed to be her friend
The narrative is quite long, and furnishes Que
Of the most lamentablc instances of human de-
pravity and cruelty on record. 1t seems that
she she has been for more than year follow
ed, tortured, seduced, beaten, robbed, without
mercy, in Paris, Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia, New Orleans aud other places, at hotels,
aud private houses. She was taken to Paris
by her husband an invalid and left there to
undergo skilful medical treatment While his
business obliged him to return home She
there got acquainted with FurnisS, who ac-
CURED a power over her reputation through
weakness, which he ever afterwards used to eX-
tort money. She there loaned him six hun
dred dollars Coming to America he borrowed,
cXtOrted and stole from her money. levels
&c all the time, when she did not give him
what he asked, he beat and abused her
Sometimes he raised disturbances in her rooms
at hotels, to force her to give him money
BY some strange infatuaton she suffered all
this in silence, keeping it from the knowledge
of her husband, until at last the latter acci-
IDENTIFY found it out. Her incarceration in an
insane asylum was done to keep her out of
Furniss' clutches as her husband could no Ion
er live with her
