News from the North.

The steamer Pacific, with dates from Port
land, o. T., to the 9th, and Victoria V. l..
to the 5th arrived at San Francisco on Tues
day evening.
Gen. A. L. Lovejoy, of Oregon City, re-
ceived the appointment of Receiver Of the
Land Office for the upper district of Oregon,
by last mail vice james Guthrie, Jr, re-
signed.
Hon. Archibald Campbell United States
Boundary Commissioner, employed in run
ing the line between the American and Bri-
tish possessions on the northwest coast, was
in Portland on the Sth. He is stopping at
Fort Vancouver for the present.
An iron mine has been discovered near
Chehalem Valley, about 13 miles from Port
land, 0. T., which promises to yield rich
supply ofsuperior ore. Specimens of wrought
articles from it have been exhibited in Port
land which are pronounced to be of the first
quality by ironsmiths.
The Colonist advocates the establishment
of a line of English steamers between Victo-
ria and San Francisco, as the American line
does not afford sufficient accommodations.
There appears to be some disposition to lay
out new town, to take the place of Lang
ley, which is producing great excitement
among the lot owners of Langley Governor
Douglas is opposed to the plan, while the It.
Governor favors it. The Colonist charges the
Government with double dealing. The ru-
NOR of the proposed change had proved very
disastrous to the interests of Langley
The steamer Gov Douglas, Capt Murray,
arrived at Victoria, from Langley, January
30th, says the Gazette, with 28 passengers
The news from the mines is not important
The weather was growing milder, and the
miners were very generally at work again
The disturbances at Hills Bar and elsewhere
had subsidized, and no further trouble was
anticipated. The Douglas reports having
experienced very heavy weather during Sun
day, in the Gulf Of Georgia, 10y which she
sustained damage by the parting of her for
ward hog chains, and the consequent strain
ing of her upper works. She put in at Point
Roberts. and anchored there for four hours
until the gale had exhausted its fury. Tho
the parting Of the hog chains must have
caused a tremendous strain on the hull Of the
steamer we are assured she took in no water,
and behaved herself well in the Storm
SEVERE SENTENCE. Mr.. Sam1. Hazeltine,
first engineer of the steamer Labouchere, was
on Thursday convicted on charge of insub-
ordination and a refusal to obey orders from
his superior officer, Captain Treuett, during
the voyage of the Labouchere from London
to this port, and sentenced to ten days i'm
prisonment in the common Jail.
TROUBLES ABOARD SmP-The passage of
the ship Grestes. which arrived here a week
or so ago from Melbourne. must have been
anything but pleasant one, from the state
ments made by all parties, and the number of
suits brocght against the ship.

WHAT THE SNow SAYS. 1t tells various tales,
dissemhles frequently, and like all other tale
tellers, consuts the tastes of its auditors. To
the victims of poverty and disease it speaks
no cheering words-like the hand of misfor-
tune the flakes fall upon the marked and un
favored ones, and the germ of hope expires in
the heart at their approach. But then we
love to see the snow. 1t does not always
speak in cheerless tones its coming is not al
ways heralded by tales of woe. Many strange
and beautiful fantasies play around the mind
as the snow comes trippingly along. The old
man with bleached and sivery locks listens
to its almost noiseless whisperings: it tells
him, in its modest way. of home, away.
away above its own. where all is pure and
spotless as itself--of heaven select throng
who are in readiness to usher the old man into
celestial realms To the happy bride the
snow tells joyous tales, and through tile
eauzy curtain which it is lowering, she sees
bright and pleasing pictures-pictures in
which no in6delity is traced. and where hap
piness is painted in brilliant colors. and con-
stancy forms the back ground. Our miner
listens to the tale of the snow, and to him it
speaks encouragingly in it he sees the pre-
cursor Of wealth. The frown of poverty van
ishes at its appearance, and molten dcities
arise for homage plying. With all the breads
attending the visitor, snow, one can welcome
it, knowing there is more JOY than sorrow in
it.-.Konttain Messenger

How OREGON LegislatOrs Fight.

Mr.. Dryer, editor of the Portland Orego
nian, gives, in his paper of the 29th ult., the
subjoined description of the fight between
himself and Mr.. Lasater, both members of the
Legislature. Messrs. Bonham and McIuinch
were alse members of the Legislature 1t is
useless to comment on such brutality as is
here depicted. After reporting language
used by Mr.. L. on the floor CT the House rela.
tive to Mr.. Dryer, the latter proceeds to say :;
"Lasater Immediately repeated and re-
repeated that we were n liar and black
guard, whereupon we did take our inkstand
from the desk and hurled it IN his face, in.

AS to the fight instantly ensuing in the
House, we have nothing to say, save that
Lasater did not seriously injure us at that
time. nor gain many aurels More than half
an hour had intervened when as we were
quietly passing down the principal street, in
company with Mr.. Wasserman, of this city,

unsuspecting an attack, we were met by Mr.
.Bonham of Marion, and McIninch, of Linn,
who, upon meeting US, halted Instantly Las
ater, who was in their rear. but close behind,
rushed between them and seized us by the
Throat, at the same time planting a heavy
blow upon our forehead, and rushed Us into
the door of a store where we both fell upon
come opened shoe boxes, Lasater on top. still
-grasping our throat. After few blows he
inserted tAe thuab ef his right hand into
our left eye, and forced it almost entirely
from its socket. At this time, by desperate
or superhuman effort, we released his grasp
from the throat, and his thumb from the eye
and fell Hat upon the floor Iasater then
seized us by the hair, and attempted to
-gouge our other eye out, which we prevent
ed by turning our face close to the floor and
locking our fingers and pressing our hands
close to onr eyes After several fruitless
efforts to insert his thumb into our right eye,
he then commenced pounding us on the back
,of the head with his fist
while all this was going on there were
largeASmber of things in the shape of men,
but whom we then and new denonnce as
cOwardly rutiians aaId dogs, crowded around,
who prevented Mr.. Wasserman, the only
friend near us, Mr. Watson of jackson, who
came across the street, and Mr. Shartle who
came from barber-shop near by; from rem.

doubted that, with an equal knowledge of
all the facts, the South would have rejected
the Lecompton Constitution with scorn and
indignation. The imposing character Of the
recommendations with which it was presen-
ted to Congress deceived and msled many
honorable members of both houses, who
now, upon better information, would doubt
less unite with Senator Hammond in giving
that instrument an ignominousrejection from
the halls of legislation.
We venture to hope that the bitter vitu-
peration with which we have been assailed
will be considered sufficient excuse for this
notice of facts lately developed, coming out
ut last to vindicate the truth which has been
partially crushed, and to condemn the wrong
which has been accomplished or attempted.

ROBBED. "A man named Stewart, who
drives wagon and four horses between this
city and certain points in Sutter county, and
who is generally engaged, we believe, in
hauling wood, was knocked from his saddle
horse, on the Cache Creek road, some three
miles from Yuba City, on Tuesday evening,
at about 8 o'clock, by some unknown per-
sons and robbed of $3.50. He had been to
this city with load of wood, which he had
disposed of and was returning home He
had drawn this money, the same day, from

FoRNEy on THE PREsIDENcY.-Th Philadel-

"Our correspondent, "Pioneer," reminds us

Iverson, together with many other Represen-
