register, that there is first the entry of
Mr.. SIckless maine in his own hand-
writing, then the natnes of several other
persons, and about ten names below, the
name of Mrs. SickleS in a different hand
writing neither his nor hers. This
preparation shows that if Judge Craw-

quantity. of scandal on both sides would
have been brought Ito the trial, involving
persons whose names have not been mcr-

The next Congress will be called upon
to pay the expenses Of the war wsged
against few Indians in Oregon and
Washington Territories, in 1856. The
cost of this war is set down at something
like eight millions of dollars, which it is
contemp plated to abstract from the United
States Treasury. This amount is to pay
volunteer soldiers, most of whom were en-
rolled and mustered into service without
authority OF law. The expenses attend
