Washington Territory.

Gov. Stevens has sent in his message to the
Legislature of Washington Territory. He gives
an enticing account of the charms of this region
of country, of which very little is known TO the
Eastern States
oar territory seems almost n terra inc0gnitd
nj home, yet il Is situated on the great highway
the road of nations. and has the most mngniii
cent and capacions harbors and roadsteads, either
the Atlantic or Pacific shore. Its conl, its
fisheries, its lumber, its gold, its extensive and
rich grazing lands. its genial climate, its mann
featuring advantages and its soil, which yields
tho most generous returns to labor, present n
combination OF advantages second to no state Of
Territory # our common country. West Of the
Cascade Mountains, have nearly as large an
amount of rich arabic land as in the State of New
York land which requires labor. it is troe to
yield returns from its bosom, for our magnificent
forests, great source Of our wea!t have first TO
be cleared away.
The Walla Waa Valley, situated mostly in
the territory Of Washington surpasses in eXtrnt
advantages, climate and soil. that of the great
Salt Lake, and can sub,ist II much larger popu-
laiion West of the Bitter Root mountains, for a
hundred miles IN breadth. the soil is not only
good, but equnl to that of the Western prarir,.
The land scapo in June, carpet of flowers, Tia"
streams lined with pine, and the country well
watered The remainder of the interior Is nos

ted to the growing of wool as well as the raising
of stock but large tracks included in the Yaki-
ma purchase are unsurpassed tor roots and eere-
ais. 1t is ignorance and presumption which
pronouuccs this country fit only for Indians.
That there valuable gold mines in the int
rior, requiring only protection TO our people, to
the growing up of hardy mining community, Is
longer "A matter of doubt.

by the steamer Illinois we have later accounts
from Central America. but they of some
wha conf esing character. A letter 10 the New
| York Times reads hs follows:
AsPIS.ALI- Thursday. Feb. IL. l557.-The
| Illinois leave. here in an hour. and therefore,
what ! write must be done hurriedly. There Is
not much thatis really news to write. You
! have already received accounts of the fights at
| Obraje and San George. on the 2bth aud 2Sth of
/ January last. Since then there is little other
than rumor here concerning Gen. Walker
When left San Juan del Sur, with the ~
recruits he received by the 0rizaba from Califor-
MIA, be promised TO fight the enemy again at San
George, as soon as be returned to Riyas. If he
had done should have known it here before
this time, and | should have been able TO furnish
you an account OF the result. On the contrary.
what news we have is to the effect that Gen.
Walker. becoming satisfied, after his failures at
Obraje and San George that he could not prevent
the progress OF the enemy in their plan for sur
rounding him. had burned Rivas aud left the
country do not credit the rumor
There is another, however, that may prove true.
1t is that he bad burned all Of Rivas. except the
boundaries Of the principal Plaza; and that he had
fortified and was defending that portion of the
town. This may be true. / know that Gen.
Walker had determined to have much open
ground between him and the enemy possible.
With that view he had purposely cleared con
siderable space around the town and for the pur
pose of having no more TO defend. in case of
attack. than should he absolutely nessary, he
may have destroyed all of Rvas that would re-
quire division of his forse to defend. 1t is also
reported that he had seized the Sierra Nevada
for the purpose of making his escape in her; but
you would not credit that. think. Although
he is certainly in IA very bad position, | do not
think he will leave the country for several weeks
To come. The Aspinwa Courier having heard
the rumors have mentioned, gives and speaks
of them as follows:
ma the same day the Walker news brought by
the Columbus. We do not credit it. The story
i: Walker has been attacked by the allies az
Riyas. He burnt the city, excepting that part
around the plaza. which he had fortified and was
defending He is said to have seized the Sierra
Nevada, in order, it is supposed to effect his
escape therein
"lhe Columbus left Punta Arenas on the 9Th
the trip from San Juan del Sur to the above
named port requires from three to four davs-the
Orizaba left san .Juau del Sur the ID, and
hence it is evident that the Columbus could not
bring later news than the Orizaba. Again, the
Sierra Nevada left Panama for San Francisco,
Jan. 81, and had not time 10 have made the trip
and returned, when the above story represents
her to have been at San Juan del Sur \ friend
asks: Did she not stop on her way upF We
answer, no; had she done this she would have
been there when the Orizaba was. Hence we be-
lieye the above story to be entirely correct"

hopor- TO Dr kRBc's HcmUiu. in New Orleans
lha New Orleans Picayune of Wcdne sday gives
an account of the hdnors paid in that city to
the remains Of DR.. Kane the day before. 1t
SAYS
The City Hall and Lafayette Square through
ont the day were crowded with large coucourse
OF our citizens, wishing TO pay the last token of
respect 10 the names of the illusrioas deceased.
The conduct both of our city authorities and
private citlZenF on this occn sion. expressed the
high estimate in which DR.. Kane's services to
has coantry,nnd the civilized world generally
held in this city.
The body was placed upon n Gals son. draped
with American flags, and drawn by four grey
horses.nnd tlnnked by military officers as Il guard
OF honor. 'lh" sight was most imposing. aud
excited a deep sensation, as the funeral pageant
moved through the streets.
During The day the shipping in the port, and
the principal public buildings. including the TO
reign Consulates and some private residences,
displayed flags and ensgns at half mast, and
detachment of Artillery. under the command of
| Capt. Hunting, fired guns on Lafayette Square.
at intervals of fifteen minutes In the process
sion we not iced the presence of the British aud
other foreign Consuls, in their uniform.
| Long before ; o'clock the levee and the steam
ers Cora Anderson. j. S. Pringle. tho Flying
] Cloud and the Woodruff, herself. were closely
] crowded with spectators; we heard the gathering
estimated at from 5000 to 1000 persons. The
long circuit which the cortege made through
our streets considerably retarded the departure
of the Woodruff. Finally. about 6 o'clock. the
body with its escort arrived: the military forming
line TO the left and right,the body taken from
the gancaringe upon which it had hitherto rest
! ed, aud carried upon the muskets of platoons de-
tailed from the different companies, TO the boat.
the band preceding playing the dead march, and
the soldiers presenting arms The darkness set
ting in about this time gave the ceremony
certain appropriately sombre appearance, in which
the glare of the tamheaux from the Woodruff
shone out like weird visions. The silence pre-
vaihng among the spectators, interrupted only
by the tolling every minute of the funeral bell
and the low strains of the music, not broken
till the precious burden had BEEN deposited on
board the Woodruff. Then a feeling of relief,
at the band striking up a lively air, came upon
the vast audience, who dispersed to their homes.

The Cleveland Herald gives the following ac-
count of most singular being. who has has run
risks in convict life that almost outstfp the feats
ascrbed even to tho notorious Jack Sheppard.
The Herald says
The penitentiary contains lots Of characters
bat among them all. Archibald Barnes is the
character. lie is writing his life, and if only
truthful. will be "a strange evcn.fnl history"
He was FIRST sent to prison from Lprain. in 1853,
Tor burglary, feigned insanity, was sent TO the
Luuatie Asylum, escaped. went back TO Lpran
was betrayed by a relative, sent back to the pen
itentiary. again escaped, was soon after sent to
the Indiana penitentiary for eight years. for pas
sing counterfeit money. then remanded to Ohio
on n requistion. escaped from the officer the
the way. WAS retaken. again escaped before rca-
ching the In1ana piison, established himself "a
school teacher at Galena. H.. courted II young
lady, was about being married. and was again
sent for and consigned 10 his old quarters in the
Ohio penitentary. The Columbus Gazette states
that Barnes has since made continual but nef-
fcetual efforts to escape; has again md again by
some ingenious contrivance, unlocked the door
If his cell, dug out of his dungeon. cut his
way through the ceiling of the Hospital and
the walls Of the Chapel, but has been foied in
all his Efforts by the vigilance of the officers He
LAY. if there were two chances to be killed and
bat one Ia escape that he should make the at
tempt. The Gazette says:
BARNES Is IA me looking man. about 1--WE feet
Ten inches high full forehead. brown huir, large
dark blue eyes, and heavy eyebrows. His trou-
hles appear TO have originated from the false no.

cherished the idea TINT the present condition Of
society was all wrong and it was his duty to
see II right For this purpose he organized a
crent baud to regulate society, to take from the

honorable character and Of temperate habits

of these brothers were noble looking men, and
