An AFFRAY-AN INDIAN KILLED.-We
learn that an Indian was killed on the Ms.

French resident Of Pierce county named
Oujah. 1t appears that difficulty had
occurred between the Indian and French
man some time since, and that last week
the former, in company with Frenchmau
named Tibalt, visited the residence Of the
latter, when some angry conversation oc
Cured between the parties. At length the
Indian signifed bis wish to ener Oujah'c

which he was forbidden to do. The Indian
persisted in his attempt to enter the door
when Oujah shot him through the head
with rife, and he expired almost instantly

THE ADMISSION OF OREGON.

"The Senate Committee on Territories will report
against the admission Of Oregon at this time, on the
ground that she has not sufficient population that no
urgent necessity exists for her immediate admission,
and that her citizens do not desire it."
The above is taken from the N. Y.
Herald, but we have very good reason to
believe the writer knew little about the
matter. By a private letter from q gentle
man in Washington, who has superior ad-
vantageS for acquiring authentic informa-
ton concerning Oregon, we learn that
Oregon will be admitted, the newspaper
reports to the contrary notwithstanding;
the Oregon and Washington War Debt
will be provided for; and other matters Of
