TIC san Juan AffaLr.

WASHINGTON, Sept 25.-Col. Rankin, formerly cf
Philadelphis, the Register of the Land Office at
Olympia, Washington Territory, has arrived here
from the Island of San Juan. He says if
Governor Douglass plans had been carried out,
there would have been a collision between the Brit
ish and American forces, as her British Majesty's
ships, the Satellite and Pumper bad orders from
him TO FIRE, but Admiral Bayne OPPORTUNITY arrived
and superseded him in command Of the English
ships-of- war, five in number.
The original difficulty was with the Hudson Bay
Company, the interests of which were represented
by Gov. Douglas. The island of San Juan had been
in the occupancy Of the Americans for at least
eighteen months, nobody seeming to question their
rights aud for longer period had been considered
and treated in all respects as belonging TO Washing
ton Territory. 1t was not until Gen. Harvey sp-
piled TO and was assured by the Boundary Commits
sioners that our title clear and certain, that he
dispatched troops thither at the earnest request of
the inhabitants, who claimed protection from Brit
ish sggressions, and especially from the predatory
incursoDB Of Northern Indians, who had even taken
and held possession Of light hoIse for three days,
and against whom private expeditions had been re-
pestedly sent to chsstise them.
Col Rankin says the people of Washington ter
ritory and the Pacific States are unanimously for
our retention of the island and such is their en-
tbusissm that if the United States troops should be
directed to Vacate it. private parties, in formidable
numbers, would Immediately occupy that important
position, and not surrender without severe strug
gle; but it is not supposed in this city that our
troops will be Withdrawn, this would be consider
ed IS admission that title is clearly disputa-

Speak Gently to the Erring.

The poet has said, Mans inhuman-
ity to man makes countless thousands
mourn. The inhumanity of man is never
more clearly manifested than in the at
tempts of the self-styled perfect to tram
pie under foot the deluded, erring and
fallen. The loud clamor, the pitiful
scorn, and the heartless contempt, which
are poured out upon an unfortunate fell
low-being, who has fallen from the heights
of angel virtue, often indicate, that the
heart that conceives and thetmouth that
utters the vile ratings are more deeply,
darkly, villainously dyed in foul corrup-
tion than the trembling object Of their un-
holy fury. The heart which has any ofthe
unsullied beauty of humanity in its pure
calm depths, looks with sorrow on a ru-
ined fellow being and would poura healing
balm on his bleeding wounds.
saw not long since notice Of fallen
woman, who was taken before the stern
bar of her country's justice. She was
upbraided by the hollow-h hearted and
taunted by the heartless till she seemed
like a tigress in her madness; but one, in
whose veins ran the warm food of human
sympathy, said: "She is a sooman our
mothers are women then speak of her as
a woman" That maniac madness left
her spirit, and, instead of dark, angry
flashes, her eyes poured forth food of
warm heart-sent tears. Under all her out
ward deformity of life, her heart beat with
the noble impulses Of a woman, and kind
words soothed her troubled soul as the
voice Of the Goldman stilled the fierce
rolling waves of the storm-rocked Cali
lee. A flower from the garden where the
happy hours of childhood were passed,
the well known hum of bees in the haw.
thorn hedges, or the merry whistle of
the bullfnch, calls up from the hearts
depths the softest feelings of the soul (;
and a'sertence uttered by dying mother
drives away the dark thoughts and vile
propensities of deluded wretch, and
plays again happy childish melody over
the soul of man. The maddened soul of
the fallen trembles not at the harsh, ter
rife voice of the tornado, the cataract,
the volcano of the terrible thunders, as
they make night hideous with the raging
battles Of the surcharged elements, but
a soft word or kind look soothes the
troubled spirit, and the friendly act leads
the infuriated being along the tranquil
paths of humanity and human love. If
you would show yourself human, strike
not the alarm bells of brazen-tongued
scoff, nor hurl the crushing bolts 0fin-
dignation at the shining, but, filled with
the sublime sentiment of moral sympathy,
speak geatly to the erriag.
