Letter from Coy. Stevens.

by the mail We received letter from
Gov. STEVENS under date of Dec 18th, and
as it is undoubtedly of interest to the public
to know how matters are transpiring in
Congress, in which our people have an in
terest, We make the following extract from
the letter referred to. We also find the
following proceedings concerning Washing
ton and Oregon Territories in the COngres
sionaI Globe Of a late date: -
"There is a strong purpose with the Pres
ident and departments to do entire justice
to our Territory. The Secretary of War
has strongly endorsed our war debts. They
all agree that early action should be had in
regard to the Indian treaties that war
steamer is required for the protection of the
Sound that strong military force is re-
quired to check disaffection among the In
dian tribes, and that the Indian murderers
should be brought to justice. think the
recommendations Of the departments will be
cordially responded TO by Congress.
"Truly yours, .-
ISAAC l. STEVENS"

Nor1cE Members of the last
Legislature will confer a favor by calling
or sending for the Governors message and
accompanying documents, ordered to be
printed by the last session, to which they
are entitled. The Secretary informs us
that there is no money in his hands, nor law
which authorizes him to do SO, for paying
the postage thereon if sent by mail. They
will therefore have 10 devise some means Of
their own for obtaining them. The work
was completed some time since, and is now
subject to their order We would willing
Iy pay the postage on single numbers to
members but we cannot afford to pay it
upon oil to which they are entitled.

HoME MApE.-We were presented the other day, by
Mr.. GEO sHAzER, of the Nisqualy bottom, with de
licous cake of Maple Sugar Of his manufacture.
The article was made from the sap Of the common
maple so abundant in our territory, and the sample
before us is Of fair quality and fine flavor we
ever saw produced in the west. Provided our nights
were only more favorable for the running Of the sap
should undoubtedly be capable Of producing sufi-
cient sugar, and that Of better quality than is now
imported, for our consumption
Mr. Shazer states that the water sap of the maple
here Is not quite rich in saccharine matter those
of the States but chat nevertheless it will well repay
the maker for the time and trouble consequent upon
its manufacture. Who knows but we may yet cXpe-
rience the pleasure which once felt in earlier
days when the day arrived for "sugaringof,' it is
famliarly known? We hope, next year, that our
farmers will give it extensive trial. and in the mean
time we must give to Mr. Shazer the credit Of having
made the first maple sugar in the Territory.

Martial Law.

In another column Of to-day's paper will
be found correct statement concerning an
Indignation meeting that was held at Stcil-
accom-, bearing date in accordance with the
date of the meeting assembled. 1t will also be
observed that committee appointed in Olym,
pia for the purpose Of taking into considera.
ton the character of the conduct Of Leschi
as also reported, and that the meeting took
cognizance of the affair. 1t is due to state, il
this connection, that Gov McMullin excul
patcd himself from any connivancc or dc
rogatory transaction connected Herewith
That, as far as be did condemn the position
taken by Col Casey and other officers Of
the army, he was controlled by liberal views
As far as We could understand the sense
of the meeting to which we refer, it gave
most unquestionable aud unqualified con
dcmnation to the course that has heretofore
been taken by the commandants of the mil.
itary service, of which, at one time, Gen.
Wool was at the head We believe, in ac-
cordancc with the spirit of the resolutions
set forth, that nothing has been committed,
as a general rule, not in accordance with
constitutional duty. That, where outrages
have been committed that they are the re-
suit Of private wrongs inflicted against all
manner in which this question of martial
law, was brought before the people of the
Territory, VIC respectfully submit that the
arguments adduced, and the speech accom-
panying them, will be found to cover all the
points ut issue between the friends of mar
tial law and those who are opposed to it.

The MORMON WAR--We are Informed
by Gen. Clarke, that the letters and dis
patches received by him, per the Columbia,
from Col. Steptoe, made no mention of the
engagement reported to have taken place
between the U. S. troops and the Mormons,
and that he (the Gcneral) has no belief in
the truth of the rumor. The news thus
received from Oregon, makes the second
attempt that has been made TO hoax the
public in relation to the Mormon war
