Of the people of these territories, Gen
HARNEY would have been almost unaui

to the following complimentary notice oi
Gen. II. which We find in the San Fran
cisco Herald, Of late date:
Brcvet Brigadier General Harney, an oGicer Of ac-
knoWledged gaantry and daring, who is justly con
sideted the most distinguished cavalry commander in
in the service, arrived yesterday ia this city on the
steamship John l.. Nfsrens. He has been assigned
by the President 10 the command Of the Oregon De
partment lately constituted position Of the highest
importance requiring the exercise Of sound judgment
and the attributes OF an experienced soldier, both
which qualities he ominently possesses The condi-
ton Of Indian Affairs north has never been more ort
CAL and under the control Of Gen. Harvey the people
of Oregon and Washington assured that the future
will be without any wars or disafecton among the
savages who nhabit the Territories The strong hand
and determination Of Gen. Haney will preserve peace
for the time to come. We cordially welcome the gal
liant General 10 the Pacific coast.

The oregon War Debt.

Certain facts have come into our possession which
will enable US, before the meeting of Congress, to
show up in its true light, this mOnsfros claim the
Treasury Of the United States, amounting TO over
S. 900 900. combination Of men, in high and low
positions composed Of bankers and 1t is said Senators
and their abettors, getting, have already got
the control of this immense claim, and will attempt
to force it through Congress at the next session.
These SPECTATORS we understand, have had their
agents at work in Oregon, buying up the different
claims against the Government, based on the most
ertrdpagant rates. for few cents on a dollar. The
facts before u.s. we think will enable us TO show up
this whole matter in its true cOlors and expose Of
the greatest attempts to depete Uncle Sans treasury
which has ever before been made.
We find the above paragraph in q recent
number of The States, published at Wash
ngton, D. G. The States has certainly been
misinformed as to the facts, probably by
some one politically interested. The lar
ger portion of the war claims is yet in the
hands of the inhabitants of this Territory.
We know of but two eastern banking
frms-that of Sweeney Rittenhouse, Faunt
& Co., and one other, both of Washinton,
D. C.-who have had agents here for the
purchase of war scrip, and the whole
amount purchased for them did not exceed
$50, 900, at prices ranging from 33 to 40
cents on the dollar; and we do not believe
single Senator in Congress possesses scrip
to the amount of five dollars. Persons
formerly residents of the Territory, have
taken with them to the eastern States large
amounts of scrip; but we have not heard
of any of them disposing of it there.
The charge. that the scrip was issued on
the most extravagant rates has been made
heretofore. 1t was left with the War
Claim Commission to settle standard of
rates, which they have done; and we think
that greater amount Of property was
purchased and service employed at rates
below the standard Of the Commission than
above it. We trust The States will publish
its authority for the statements it makes,
and thus let us know to whom we are in
debted for this attack upon the justice of
our war claims-OyGgOn Statesman, Nor. 9.
So say we Let TIE States give the au-
thority upon which its attack as to the
Justice of our war claims is predcated
We believe with the Statesman, that prob
ably some one politically intrestod has given
utterence to the calumny and we believe fur
thor, that most likely the falsehood and
slanderer has been heralded to Washing.

DW We received last week, from q
gentlemanresiding in the 3rd Judicial Dis
trict, transcript of the proceedings Of the
special term of the U. s. District Court
ordered for the trial of the Indians thai
murdered Deputy Surveyor HUM, &c. On
examination we find that there is nothing
important in the transcript forwarded, that
was not given in the statement we pub.
lished two weeks since concerning the term
of court alluded to, and hence we do not con.
slider it necessary or important to give
place to it, The names of the indians who

EnGRANTs FOR WASHINGTON TERRITORY.
The Boston correspondent Of the Sacra-
mento Union, under date of October 4tb,
says:
"The ship Fisurgis sailed hence the other
day for Port Townsend, Washington Ter
ritory, with Sixty-fve passengers, who 60
out under the auspicies of trading eompa-
ny, to make settlement in the Territory.
1t is the intention of certain parties here
and in New Bedford, interested in the whaE-
ing business, to establish a grand depot
for whalemen at that point of the Pacific
Coast, where supplies may be obtained and
cargoes stored within American jurisdiction
and in immediate proximity to the cruising
grounds. With such an entry-pot, it is
thought the fishery can be prosecuted with
much greater profit and facility by employ
ing smaller class of vessels, and avoiding
the usual resort to the Sandwich Islands,
which is remote, and attended with other
disadvantages

Our citizens Will doubtless be pleased to learn
that the dull monotonv which has been maj ifest
in our city ever since the great Everett Charity
Lecture, Is about to be broken I'm upon by the de-
livery, at the Methodist Protestant Church, Of
series OF Lectures upon interesting topics. The
services OF several eloq ent speakers. E. Yates
Reese, Hon. =. 8. Cox, Drs. Burnap, Nj orris, and
others, have been secured We learn that the
first lecture Of the series will be delivered about

purpose. -.
The propriety Of our Corporation enacting a
law requiring all hucksters to pay for a license
for the privilege Of doing business in our market,
has become a subject of considerable discussion
among our cit'zers. The prevailing opinion Is
that inasmuch as other traders in wood groceries,
&c, are required to pay into the town treasury
from five to sixty dollars year for the privilege
OF doing business upon their own premises, that
the simple renting of a stand from the Corpora
ton In or about the market house, should not
exempt them from the payment of a regular
license. The fact is patent that the time has ar
to obtain supply Of fish, fruit, vegetable
poultry. &c, without resorting to this class of
dealers, and the consumer has to pay the tariff
In the way Of (attimes) rather biting prof;s, we
think II but reasonable that they. as well other
traders should contribute towards the support OF
the Corporation. ... -.r
As this is the very period OF the year for a
pleasant ride, and as nothing contributes more
to good health, we wculd advise our citizens Ia
pay attention to the advertisement Of r. Cruit &
