THAT SPECK OF WAR.

THAT SPECK OF WAR.
The spcck of war in the northwest
has probably dwindled down into
very small speck. Gen. Scott will
soon settle matters when he arrives Oh
the ground if not already arranged.
From the Pacific papers by the
overland mail we are enabled to ar
rive at the cause Of the whole difficult !
ty, and find that the shooting of a
hog" has caused the commotion which
has nearly brought two great powers
into conflict Who will, after this,
deny that small causes produce effects
10y the rule Of gcomctric progression
still later from the North.
By the arrival Of the steamer North
crncr we have Victoria, V. l., papers
to the Odd, and the Puget Sound Her
aid of the 10Th. The latest adviccs
from San Juan state that all was
quiet. Another company Of United
States troops would be landed from
the Massachusetts A number of build
ings for the accommodation Of the
troops had been erected.
The Victoria Gazette, of the 23d,
says that rich lode of quartz had
been discovered on the beach below
Beacon Hill, within one and half
miles of Victoria.
