Minister at Washington, copy Of which
l herewith enclose for your information, as
| presume that the document cannot be in
your possession.
Following the dignifed policy recon-
mended by that dispatch, should in any
well grounded case Of complaint against an
American citizen have referred the matter
to the Federal authorities in Washington
Territory, well assured that if wrong had
been committed reparation would have
followed.
deeply regret that you did not commu-
nicate with me for information upon the
subject of the alleged grievance, you would
then have learned how unfounded was the
complaint, and the grave action you have
adopted might have been avoided | also
deeply regret that you did not mention the
matter verbally to me when | had the
pleasure of seeing you at Victoria last
month, for few words from me would, l
am sure, have removed from your mind any
erroneous impressions, and you would have
ascertained personally from me how anX-
ious have ever been to cooperate to the
utmost Of my power with the officers Of the
United States Government in any meas
ures which might be mutually beneficial to
the citizens of the two countries.
10. Having given you distinct and
emphatic denial to the circumstances which
you allege induced you to occupy the Island
Of San Juan with United States troops !;
having shown you that the reasons you as
sign do not exist, and having endeavored
to assure you Of my readiness on all occa-
sions to act for the projection of Ameri-
can citizens, and for the promotion Of their
welfare, | must call upon you, sir, if not as
a matter of right, at least as a matter of
justice and of humanity to withdraw the
troops now quartered upon the Island of
San Juan; for those troops are not required
for the protection of American citizens
against British authorities, and the contin-
uance of these troops upon an Island, the
sovereignty of which is in dispute, not only
is marked discourtesy to friendly Gov
ernment, but complicates to an undue de-
gree the settlement in an amicable manner
of the question of sovereignty, and is also
calculated to provoke o collision between
the military forces of two friendly Nations,
in distant part of the world.
/ have the honor to be, Sir,
Your Most Obedient Servant

A Song for the Press.

A song for the Press the Printing Press
That has ruled the world alone,
Since the finger of God first graved His laws
On the tablet of senseless stone
Since a spark of His wisdom downward sent
Woke the slumbering thought to birth,
And the Press, as a meteor, flashed thro' the gloom
The darkness that lowcr'd DER earth.
A song for the Press-more potent far
Than the fat of crowned king
Than the cohorts OF war-than the steeLcad men
That the mightiest can bring.
Kingdom and tower, and the palace wall,
That have braved century's might,
Crumble in ruin, and totter and fall
When the Press wakes the giant Right.
song for the Press! Like the armed men
That rushed DER Roms's ivyd wall,
When liberty swayed and trampled in dust
Crsars pride and Judgment hall
So it, silence step wakes the down-trod one,
Mid his thraldom, his fear and gloom,
And thunders in wrath round the crowned king,
Foreteling Of death and of doom
song for the Press-the east-born star
OF true religion-of liberty-power--
Untrameed by wealth, by passion unswayed,
'Tis the index-the scribe of each hour;
And still shall remain-still the slender type
Shall "click," and all nations bless,
And the last star from earth that ever fades out
Be the Godmodel'd Printing Press

FRON WALLA WALLA,-FrOm Indian
Agent Cain, recently from WalIa Walla,
we learn the following:
That the runners of the Nez Perce tribe
being hostile to 1t. Mullan and party, are
without foundation. Mr.. Cain recently
met 5000 of the Nez Perces in council at
the Neipe-root grounds, in the Bitter Root
country, and the results were highly satis-
factory. The tribes that have heretofore
been engaged in war have been greatly i'm
pOvershed, and lost many of their tribal
characteristics; consequently many of the
people are now wanderers and vagabonds,
acknowledging no authority and employing
their whole time in circulating false rumors
with view to precipitating the Nez Perces
and other Indians, before friendly and now
enjoying prosperity, into war with the
whites. All of the Indians are familiar
with the reputation Of Gen. Harney, and
ore aware Of his presence in the country,
and also have distinct recollection of the
results of Col Wrights campaign last year,
and will not be precipitated into war again
as long the government through its officers
maintains good faith toward them and ex.
ercise proper care in punishin gthe few that
are guilty of misdeme&nOrs without regard,
ing their acts, uninVestigated, as decara-
tions af war.
During Mr.. Gains sojourn at Neipe,
news was received that the Snakes had
stolen all the horses belonging to the whites
and some Of the Nez Perces Indians in the
Bitter Root valley. The Snakes have been
committing depredations ~upon the Flat
Heads, Nez Perces and Cayuse Indians,
similar to those committed upon the Indians
on the Warm Spring reservation. They
claim to have a legitimate right to take the
property Of any of these indians, as they
have been at war for long time Altho'
they rob the whites, they have not yet
shown any disposition to murder them

REPLY OF COW DOUGLAS To GEN HARVEY.

REPLY OF COW DOUGLAS TO GEN. HARVEY,
GOVERNMENT HOUSE, VICTORIA, |
Vancouver Island, 18th Aug. 1852 !
Brigadier- General W. S. HARNEY, Com.
manding The Troops in Tie Department Of
Oregon:
SIR-On the evening of the 10th inst,
had the honor of receiving your dispatch
dated Fort Vancouver, Aug. 6, 1859.
In reply thereto, must thank you for
the frank and straightforward manner in
which you communicate to me your reasons
for occupying the Island Of San Juan in
Haro Archipelago with portion of the
military forces Of the United States under
your command ..r .
/ am glad to find that you have done so
under your general instructions from the
President of the United States as Military
Commander Of the Department of Oregon,
and not by direct authority emanaling from
the Cabinet at Washington. H.
You state that the reasons which in
duced you to take that course are the in
suits and indiguites which the British au-
thorities of Vancouver Island and the es-
tablishment of the Hudson Bay Company
have recently offered to American citizens
residing on the Island of San Juan, by
sending British ship Of war from Vancon-
yer Island to convey the Chief Factor of
the Hudson's Bay Company to San Juan
for the purpose of seizing an American
citizen, and fOrcibly transporting him to
Vancouver Island to be tried by British
laws"
l will explain for your information that
ythe Agents Of the Hudson's Bay Co. hold
no official position in Vancouver Island,
nor exercise any official power or authority,
and are as entirely distinct from the officers
of the Executive Government as are any
Of the other inhabitants of Vancouver
Island. 4
To the reported outrage on an American
citizen, beg to give the most unhesitating
and unqualified denial None of Her Maj
csty's ships have ever been sent to convey
the Chief Factor or any officer of the Hud-
sons Bay Company to San Juan for the
purpose of Selling an American citizen, nor
has any attempt ever been made to seize
any American citizen and to transport him
forcibly to Vancouver Island for trial as
represented by you.
Up to very recent period but one
American citizen has been resident Of
San Juan. About the commencement Of
the present year a few American citizens
began to "squat upon the Island, and
upon one occasion complaint was made te
me by a British subject of some wrong
committed against his property by an
American citizen, but no attention wns
paid to that complaint, out of considera.
tion and respect to the friedly Government
to which the alleged offender belonged, and
whose citizens, think, it cannot be denied
have always been treated with marked at.
tention by all the British authorities in
these parts. With reference to San Juan
in particular, have always acted with the
utmost caution to prevent, so far as might
lie in my power, any i'll feelings arising
from collisions between British subjects and
American citizens, and have in that respect
cordially endeavored to carry out the views
Of the United States Government as ex-
pressed in dispatch from Mr.. Marcy, da-
ted 18th July, 1855, to Her Majesty's
