PRESIDENT BUcHASAS's VIEWS on TIE
SLAVE TRADE.-The Washington Union
Mr.. Buchsnan's organ. in commenting on
the SLAYER recently captured and brcugn'
into Charleston, expresses the opinion
that it is very foolish to return the ne
groes to Africa, but that the law is I'M,
perative. 1t hints that it would be J1S'
to put these unfortunates at work in the
cotton fields of South Csrolins-of cours'
as slaves. Does the Union reflect INC
President and the Cabinet in this matter :
If so. are we to believe that the ADMIN.
istration favors the re-opening Of the si'''
trade I?

A NUT.-We have before us the Noble
County Democrat, q rabid Buchanan and
Lecompton sheet, published at Albion,
Indiana, and edited by George w. Roof
He is perfectly insane Free Lover, at
times devoting his entire mind to the
subject, and frequently filing his paper
with his crazy Free Loveism. The way
he puts it to the "Black Republicans. is
caution to the Kansas Pro-Slavery
howlers. Let s sect strikes us that the
Kansas Democracy, during the recent
campaign. took especial satisfaction in
coupling Free LOveism and Black Repub-
Iicanism together. We recommend to
them perusal of the Noble County De-

JUsT THE PLACE FOR An EPIDEMIC
The Natchez Courier gives the following
description of the sanitary condition Of
New Orleans, which is in the main en-
lOrSed by the papers Of that city:
Cologne could not have been much more
odoriferous than its sister city Of the Mis-.
sissippi. Its low. fiat back streets and
alleys. along which the stagnant liquid
mud is seen, green in its decay, and rot
ten in its substance, give forth exhalatiOns
in themselves enough to bree'l an epidem-
ic; while the city authorities seem bent
to make that still worse which was bad
enough before. They have selected the
month Of September. anil the season Of an
epidemic. to dig mp the moist earth thro'
several of the business streets, under pre-
tence Of repairing gas pipes.

The Democratic organs in Tennessee
are accusing the Hon. John Bell. whose
term in the Senate expires on the 4th Of
March next, of design, in furtherance Of
which he is carrying on an intrigue, to
become a candidate for the House from
the Nashville District--CiR. Com.
What is it that the Democratic organs
Of Tennessee do not accuse John Bell Of?
Their guilty consciences are constantly
suggesting to them John Bell in some new
shape, keeping them in a continual. I'M
ceasing state Of dread and alarm. When
John Bell desires to represent this district
in Congress. he will not be under the ne
cessity of intriguing" for the nomina-
ton. But. we feel assured, he has not

OLD LINE WmGs.-The editor Of the
Richmond Wing, noticing a remark Of
the Fredericksburg News that during his
recent sojourn among the mountains Of
Virginia, he was agreeably surprised to
find large number of those queer animals
denominated "Old Line Wings" after
having been so often and so solemnly told
that there were no such thing in existence,
says 1--WE should not have been so much
surprised ourselves. We have all along
known that there were plenty of noble
and glorious Wings still left to constitute
a respectable and formidable party. This
is the case both in the North and the
South and we shall find them battling,
heart and soul, against the bogus Democ-
racy in 1860. They would be false to
their own natures, false to their princi-
Piles, and false to the country, shout dthey
refuse to act in opposition to the corrupt
est and most proaigate party that ever
existed. In due time. therefore, they will
be found acting, and acting efficiently,
to hurl from power the present hypocrit-
ical and miserable Administration.

there now, vote the Democratic ticket.

all as conclusive let us look at an extract

the old Virginia principle Of making all
you can this year and letting the next take
care of itself. His family attend religious
worship at the chapel within the fort,
where Mrs. Tyler has her own pew. John
Tyler is now in his Goth year, but looks
as young as when he occupied the Prcsi-

The Hoo MARKET.-Uutil within the

for hogs, for November delivery, at Sc,
and for the forepart of December delive-
ry, at 1918 per cwt., nett, but the admi
rable manner in which the corn is ripen-
ing, and the decline in pork. with an alb
solute certainty that pretty large stock
will go over to the next season, have had
depressing influence on the feelings Of
spectators, regarding the future. and
there were several anxious to sell for ear
ly delivery, the past week, at 1915. but
the buyers had disappeared. 1t seems
quite plain that the ideas of those wo have
expected "short crop" are undergoing
radical change. and they are beginning
to discuss the possibility of the reverse
being the case Indeed, the impression
is gaining ground rapidly that Sc for
pork, the coming season, is above a safe
point, and that the chances are all against
those who buy at this rats.-Cin. Price

Al,bourb The Indians in The vicinity OfI

Although the Indians in the vicinity oI
the mines, have as yet committed no overt

REPORT OF J. Ross BRowNE, Eso.-It
will be observed that we have devoted
considerable space in to-day's issue, in ma
king room for extracts from the matter-of-
fact, straightforward report Of this gen
tlcman to the Secretary of the Interior.
Mr.. B. has very pointed and sensible
way of showing matters up and If bis
report fails to convince the "powers that
be" at Washington City, Of the necessity
that exists for the appointment Of q sepa-
rate Superintendeucy for this Territory, as
we'll as induce government to furnish the
sine,es for checking up tie miserable and
suicidal credit system in which its agents
in this Territory and in Oregon have here
tofore been compelled to resort to, in the
management of Indian affairs, and also pre-
vide at once for the payment Of annuitieS
due the different tribes under treaty stipu-
lations, we shall begin to think that the
best Indian regulations that Uncle Sam
could give us, would be just exactly no rsgH-
lat,ons at all. An utter abandonment OF
all Indian policy, aud resort to hr'I
principles"
, 1858-03-26

therefore received but q fraction Of the
amount due them for provisions actually
necessary fer the maintenance Of the Indi-
ans for the third quarter This failors on
the part Of the government to meet its en-
gagements they were enabled, IN some de-
gree, from past experience, to provide for,
by imposing prices ranging from 25 to 83
per cent. beyond the cash rates in market
for the articles furnished; but the result to
the Indians is that they have received that
much less Of the appropriations than was
designed by Congress, aud that money
dealers, who invest their cash capital at
three per cent a month, have derived the
full amount Of the difference. 1t will thus
be seen that the laws OF trade are impartial,
and that even the government itself is not
exempt from their operation.
Another fact which has probably not
been fully considered by the department is
that, during at least four months in the
year. and frequently six, the roads TO the
reservations are rendered impossible for
wagons by the quantity Of rain that falls
in that region. Hence, it is necessary that
provisions, annuity goods, and all other ar
ticles necessary for the use Of the Indians,
should be transported to and stored upon
the reservations before the commencement
Of the rainy season; otherwise the cost Of
transportation, admitting that pack mules
can occasionally be used, almost equals the
value Of the supplies The estimates, there
fore, should be transmitted so far in ad-
vance Of this period as to afford ample time
not Only to purchase the necessary supplies
in market, but 10 have them delivered upon
the reservations.
In order to procure complete reports ol
the agents embracing these estimates, at
least three months must elapse from the
date Of addressing them from the office oI
the superintendent, otherwise, from the re-
moteness of some Of them and the incon-
veniences Of communication, the returns
will be but partial and imperfect

The Gold Regions, North!
FAVORABLE REPORTS'

Recent reports from the gold region
north, in the vicinity of Frazer's and
ThOmpson's rivers, in the British posses
sions, which have, Of late, arrested some
what largely, not only the attention of the
citizens Of this Territory, but Of Oregon
and California, also-continue to be deeid-
edly favorable, and fully confrmatory Of
the intelligence from that quarter which
we have heretofore given to the public
The fact now seems 10 be established be-
yOnd controversy, that rich deposites Of
gold are found at intervals oil along those
rivers, and IL the miners there are actually
realizing one half to the man, per day, that
is placed to their credit by reports in cir
culatiOD, the diggings must be rich indeed.
As We have no desire to mislead the public
concerning these gold-Gelds, we must say,
that as yet, we have but little confidence in
the rery ertrdvdgant stories as TO their rich
ness that have been told, and are disposed
to take the $50 per day average rumor,
with many grains, if not ounces Of allow
ance. Such "panning out" would rival
California in her palmiest days, and shame
all three cents to the pan" dirt out Of the
diggings. But that gold really does exist
there, in paying quantities, and in quanti-
ties that pay, perhaps, eroeeasagly tOell, we
have every reson to believe. ri
We have had the pleasure, during the
past week, of conversing with gentleman
direct from Victoria, Vancouver's Island,
who has seen specimens of the gold obtain
ed from that region, and represents it as
being quite cOarse-One piece, weighed in
his presence, was worth fraction over $l2.
He is informed that from $5 to SIS and
$50 per day, have been washed out, but
thinks that there are more miners whose
average product is under $S per day than
above that amount.
The Hudson's Bay Co.'s Steamer Bearer,
recently arrived at Victoria, from Forts
Hope and Langley, bringing sixteen pounds
of gold dust that had been traded from the
miners on Frazer's and Thompson's rivers.
Several private parcels were also sent down
for the purchase Of supplies, mining tools,
&c, &c.
Nearly all the half-bloods and French,
together with many other residents on Van
couVOr's Island are in the gold region, aud
it is thought there arc already there, and
en- route, from six to eight hundred persons.
We learn that the northern portion of our
territory is becoming well nigh deserted
The numbering Establishments on the waters
Of Puget Sound find it extremely difficult
to keep in motion, owing to the number Of
hands that have left, and are constantly
leaving for the northern FL Dorado. Col.
FnzHUeH, OF Bellingham Bay, is likewise in
an unpleasant predicament With regard to
his coal mine That article is now in great
demand, but bis hands have nearly all left
him-operations in the mine are about at
stand still, and the mail steamer ou the
Sound is compelled to burn wood at 81 per
cord
