,.5. PogTLAND, Nov. ~, 1857.
Editors -dlta /: By the steamer MountaiE Back
which arrived yesterday fron the Cascades, we have
"a report that an express had arrived from Col John
son, Ct the Salt Lake expedition with intelligence
that ftne Mormons had ent off bis train, and killed
one bnadred and eighty of his aen, and he had basa
forced,tS retreat.
The above news was sent to Col Steptoe, at Fart
Walla Walla.
This coREoborates the news reeeged here, and in
segard to its authencity the Alta California says:
The latestaews received from the troops was up to
TIE 7th of October, at which time the advance had
reached Hams Fork and had there been met with a
proclamation fran Gov. Young, warning them not to
enter the Terity. The distance from this point to
Fort Hall, in 0Hsgon Territory, is about $50 miles,
and from that paat to Fort Walla Walla il is about
600 miles. Expresses are frequently sent across as
we arg informed by a gentleman who has resided in
Oregon for long tae and has passed the route
himself: the time occupied being usually about
twelve days from For Hall to Fort Walla Walla So
that it Will be tat ample time existed for the
news to be sent, and therefore it is divested of i'm
probability upon that score.
The same paper remarks:
In the event of collision with tine myrmidons of
Brigham Young there is no doubt that California
will send forward hundreds of volunteers to assist
the feeble force of the Government now in the heart
of that Territory.

THE KANSAS HoMIcIDE.-From letter in the St.
Louis Republican of the oath we extract the follow
ing:
McVay, who shot Lathm at Doniphan, had selected
q claim within six or eight miles OF Atcbson. This
claim he had improved to the amount of two OF three
thousand dollars. He had worked hard and greatly
increased it in value. About the 10th Lathim, who
is said to be an nsolent and unruly man. one of Jim
Lanes old body.guard, appeared upon McVay's
claim, and in the language there used, jumped it,
He deeply exaspeated McVay, who was man of
very e&citabe temperament and high aud fierce
passions McVay felt himself insulted and injured,
and well knowing there was little authority there
about to interpose in his behalf he took bis gun,
went to Donphan, and shot Lathim in the street.
1t was altogether claim fght-party feeling had
nothing to do with it but because McVay was pro-
slavery and Lathim free State, the freedom sbrieEers
wish, no doubt. to make political capital out of it.

They have probably been lying in this condition for
the past week, during which period Mr. Straub has
been missing. He is strongly suspected of having
committed the terrible crime aud active exertons are
being made to pursue him. The time he has had to
make his escape, if really guilty, renders pursuit
