A HERoINE.-Gen. Lane of Oregon relates
this remarkable story of woman of that Terri.
tory, whose precise fate had been mystery to
her friends, though we'll knowing that she fell
victim to savage ierocity;
ave inquired in relation to Mrs. Wagner, who
was wel-educated and handsome woman, from
New York, who had lived long in the country,
and spoke the Indian tongue fuently. She kept
public house by the roadside, and the good
cheer which she always furnished made it place
where travellers delighted to stop. The Indians
informed US that on the morning of the 9th of o.
tober they came in sight of the house, where
they met come packers and teamsters, portion
of whom they murdered, destroying the wagons
and cargoes, as well as the animals, while she
was standing in the door, AS soon as they had
murdered the people outside, they came towards
the house, which YVES strongly built of hewn logs,
and had heavy door which fastened with cross
| bars. When she them running towards the
| house she shut the door and dropped the bars to
| prevent their coming in. They came to the door
| and ordered her 10 come out and bring her little
| girl. She said No Her husband was absent /;
| and, by the way, he was the only man on that
| road who escaped. They said that il she did not
come out they would shoot her. She declined
and after some elaboration they determined to
set the house on fire. The house was directly
enVeloped in flames; and the chief, who watched
her through little window, told me that he saw
her 60 to the glass and arrange her hair, then
take a seat in the middle of the room, fold her
little girl in her arms, and wait calmly until the
roof fell in, and they persisted in the flames to-
gether And the statement was confirmed by
the people who found their remains lying togeth-
er in the middle of the house,"

to perceive that the Commodore has entered upon
speculation which cannot fail to add largely to
his already immense fortune, while the reopen

NEW AND IMPORTANT SLAVE DECISION. =
The Richmond Enquirer has an account of
recent decision of the Supreme Court of Ap-
peais OF Virginia, which applies the reasoning
of the bred Scott decision to slaves. 1t will.
perhaps, be remembered that case was de-
cIded in that State last fall, in which it was
denied that slaves could be emancipated bv
will which gave them the choice of becoming
free or remaining slaves. Two of the five
judges dissenting from this opinion, it be.
came matter of great professional interest
and of public importance to know whether
the decision of the majority of the Court in
this case would be acknowledged in any flu
ture case by the dissenting judges as binding
authority, and also what terms in will
would be considered as amounting to an
absolute emancipation, and what as a mere
conditional emancipation dependent upon the
choice OF election of the negro. An opportu-
nifty was soon presented in the will of Mrs,
Coulter, which maunmitted nearly a hundred
slaves, making full provision for their support.
but also provided that if any of the slaves
wished to remain such, they might do so, and
choose their masters among her relatives.
On this case the same judges confirmed the
former decision, and declared Mrs. Coulters
Will to be but mere bequest of election to
the slaves between freedom and slavery.
which they had no civil right or legal capacity
to make. In other words, they pronounced
slave to be thing and not a person, and
not capable of being endowed wNh mo-
mentary power of voluntary action. By
absolute terms he can be made free, but iii
that event, he is property and nothing but
property. The Richmond Examiner saws

MINNESOTA. There are thirteen Douglas
Democrats in the Minnesota Legislature, and
these, with the Republicans, have adopted reso.
lutions enunciatory of the Administration and
Mandatory of Senators Douglas and Shelds-Sen-
ator Rice not being much as mentioned.
This would indicate that no election will be pos
sible in this Legislature for Mr. Sheldss success
or, for the term commencing next March since
the Administration Democrats will hardly care to
support him, and the Republicans do not indicate
a disposition to do more than praise him, hoping.
probably, by waiting till next year, to supplant
him with one oil their own number.

DEATH FROM Poisonous CLAMs.-The papers
announce several cases of death from eating
clans, supposed, from some unknown cause. to
be poisonous. 1t will be recollected that one
Summer, some three or four years since, the
CLANS were SO unwholesome. as to generally cause
more or less Of illness, and frequently death,
wherever they were eaten. There is undoubtedly
difference in this respect in different years, but
they are believed to be unwholesonie food, al
ways, at this season of the year, and those are
wisest who avoid them entirely during the Sum-
mer months.

DAMAGE FOR REFUsINe CoLoRED MANS
VoTE AT the Ohio State election in October.
1856, the vote Of a colored man named Jesse
Beekley was refused by the judges of election at
the Fourth Ward polls in Cincinnati, on the
ground that he was not citizen of the United
States. Beckley thereupon commenced suit
against the judges, laying the damages at $1,000.
The case was tried three times ia Cincinnati, but
in each instance the jury disagreed. The suit
was then transferred to Warren county, and on
the 22d inst, a jury returned verdict for Berk-
ley of $500. A new trial was granted by the
Court.
