considerable portions ofthese troops of native States

An EXECUTION PREvENTED.-The Pacific Christian
Adcocate, printed at Portland, Oregon, February
9th, reports that great excitement has been caused
in Pierce and Thurston counties Washington Terri
tory, by the non-execution of the Indian chief Les
chi, who was convicted of the murder of Mr.. j. B.
Moses, in November, 1885, and sentenced to be hang
ed on the 22d of January, 1858. The delay be
tween the first trial and the sentence owing to
a second trial, writ of error, &c. Governor Nc
Mullin requested to respite the prisoner until
the President of the United States could be heard
from, but he refused. Some United States officers
at Fort Steacoom, thought Lesch ought to be trea-
ted prisoner of war; because Mr.. Moses kill
ed after the late war broke out.
On the day appointed for the execution the sher-
ilf was arrested a warrant issued by the United
States Commissioner, charging him with the crime
of selling liquor to Indians, and during the process
had thereon, the period named in the death war
rant for the execution expired and lIesch was not
hanged. Mass meetings were held in Pierce and
ThurstOn counties in which the history of the case
recited and resolutions were adopted condemn
ing the transactions at Steilacoom, and especially
denouncing all officers of the United States army
who have in this affair attempted to arrest inter
ere with the execution Of the laws Of the land, as
entirely outside of the line of their duty unbecom-
ing public officers.
The acts of the sheriff of Pierce county, the Uni

FROM KEY WEST

KEY EST, March ~, 1858.
Steamer Isabel Rollins, sailed the evening of the
10th. She took from this city upwards of eighty
passengers, most of them mechanics and laborers
discharged from Forts TAYLOR and Jefferson. The
force on both Notifications is being reduced to
the summer quota. All the unacclimated are to be
discharged, and a small number of native or accI-
mated whites and the usual slave force retained.
At Fort Jefferson the progress of the work during
the winter has been rapid, and the walls and case
ments have been raised to the level of the second
tier of guns The whole lower portion is ready to
receive its armament and could be made bomb
proof in a short time. At Fort Taylor the works
are in a more forward state Both easement tiers
are ready for the ordnance and one tier has its
plement of guns This work is in such condition
that few weeks of active operations would place
it in a condition of defence.
Professor Agassiz, accompanied by a scientific
staff, is at this place, engaged in examinations
of the structure of the reefs and also collecting spe
cimens for his great work natural history. The
party left last evening for TOrtugas, where to
be found many varieties of the coral and other
and interesting specimens of marine plants and ami
mails.
STILL MORE FoRGERIEs.-A man named Henry
Brackett said to be a broker in Hanover street,
before the court yesterday on a complaint charging
him with forging note for 81, 500, in the name of
Benjamin Dana of Watertown. The note reads as
follows:
81, 500.
Six months after date promise to pay to the or
der of Henry Bracket, twenty-five hundred dollars,
with interest. BENZ. DANA.
1t is alleged that the note originally read 'pay
to the order of myself, &C., and that the defen-
dant erased the word ':myself" and inserted his
own name.
At meeting of the creditors of Mr.. Benz. Dana,
held before the Middlesex Court of Insolvency on
the I'd of November, 1856, the note in question
presented among other claims, and it is supposed
that the arrest of Mr.. Bracket is owing to that
circumstance. The complainant in the case is Mr..
Charles III. Hunt, and the defendant was held in
$4,000 for examination this aftcrnoon.-Boston

The NATIONAL HOTEL DISEASE, about which the
papers We're filled year ago, is yet topic of dis
cusson. The New York Journal of Commerce saws:
We conversed, on Tuesday, with very intelligent
gentleman of this city, one of the officers of the
American Telegraph Company, who is among the
sufferers by the mysterious disease which broke out
in Washington city just prior to the last presidential
Inauguration. From condition of great bodily
yigor and comfortable degree of cOrpulency he
has gradually wasted until reduced to a feeble inva
lid. During the many weary days of confinement
allotted to him he has watched the progress of the
malady till the list of deceased victims has reached
twenty-scven. including many eminent names; and
he calculates that out of total of three hundred
sufferers, at least one-haf in state of decrepi
theories which have been advanced by medical men
and sanitary committees, he adheres to the belief
that the fatal epidemic, as it called, was oc
casioned by nothing else than malignant mineral
poison; and the opinion is held by other suffer
ers with whom he has conversed
Up to a recent period he treated by phys-
clan of this neighborhood for malarious or at
m0spheric poison, with no perceptibe benefit; but
upon the physician and treatment being changed,
substituting antidote to arsenic favorable symp-
toms became at once apparent, and he is now able
to leave his apartment.
The National Hotel, it is but just to state, has not
been in any way infected since reopened by its pres
ent excellent managers, and among its many board
ers are several who victims of the "disease,"
but who have fears that it will re-occur. We
know several sufferers who express the opinion
that quoted above, and feel confident that they
were "poisoned - Wash. Union.
