sTEILACooM.
Under the escort of W II. Wood, ESQ,
and in company with another gentleman
friend, we visited the select school of Rev
Mr.. Sloan, in the vestry of the Methodist
church. This was attended by some four
teen pupils, pretty well advanced, and their
recitations evinced creditable degree Of
training on the part Of all. Mr.. S. will,
no doubt, succeed in having a very fine,
and we hope well sustained school, as the
country becomes more pepulous.
In the public school Of Mrs. A. Veeder,
nong some twenty-odd bright-eyed little
ones, we spent very pleasant hour. 1t
required no very great effort. to imagine
oneself back in the schools Of boyhood,
where FIRST position" was assumed at the
sound of the bell, and the little ones sought
the alphabet among the rafters Of the
primitive school room. Some recitations
would have done credit to higher ranked
institutions, and the people of Steilaeoom
may well he proud of teacher and school.

ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO KnL.-The
COuOlitz yesterday brought up two men
from Cowlitz county, w. T., charged with
threatening to kill the sheriff of that coun-
ty whilst in the discharge Of his duty. 1t
appears the prisoners were indebted to
some parties and an attachment was sued
out against their property, but when the
sheriff went to levy thereon, one Of the par
ties drew a-knife, and, aided by his com
panion, attempted to kill the officer, who,
however, escaped for assistance, then re-
turned and arrested them. They were ia

LATE AND INTENEsTINe FROM Texas
A dtachment of the I'd regiment U. S.
cavalry, under maj Thomas, was defeated
in fght with the Comanches near Camp
Cooper, where the command is stationed,
on the Goth Of August. A passenger by
the Overland stage reports passing Maj.
Thomas command on August Gath, con
sisting Of only part Of q company encamp-
ed near Mountain Pass, % miles west Of
Fort Chadbourne, out on a scout expedi-
ton. 'succeedingstage brought news
that q fight had taken place on the 26th,
between 10 Of the cavalry under Major
Thomas himself and about the same num-
Der Of Comanches, which resulted in the
return to camp Of the troops with men
wounded, including Major Thomas. The
loss Of the Indians was not known. ---
The depredations Of the 'Comanches
upon the Mail 0Ompan's stock are increas.

troops are utterly powerless. The Indians

species and move with the utmost celerity,

A Oomanche squaw arrived OF Fort Da'

from Fort Lancaster. She stated that she

INcENDIARIsM The frebrand of the in
cendiary continues to be applied to towns
and dwellings in the northern portion oi
Texas, accompanied with the lynching Of
the incendiaries. A letter from the town
of Dallas says: ...... .-.... ..
AZ saw letter received last night by o
gentleman of this town from friend al
Athens, stating that an attempt had been
made at that place to FIRE the town; thai
two white men had been hung, some ne
groes shot and others hung. All sorts oi
rumors are ahoat, and most of them par
take Of the horrible. One fact is ascer'
tanned beyond doubt, except in the minds
of those who are wilfulIy skeptical on the
subject, that every negro who has been i'm
pIicated in this plot, even more than q
hundred miles of, has testified to the same
facts, same dates, names and circumstances
that we're detailed here at Dallas. Such
men as those who pronounce these things
ridiculous farce, are men whose afiuities
and proclivities lead them most naturally
to such a conclusion.
The following is from the Jefferson Her
aid Of August IL:
"We learn by gentleman who left
Marshal on Thursday morning, that the
iucendaries who fred the town of Hender

and summarily punished. The facts as re

The trade in Produce during the week has
not been heavy. The stocks on the market
are good of nearly all descriptions. Bacon
is not so firm as the week previous. but We
do not alter oar quotation. Lard is becom-
ing scarce and in considerable request. Dried
Fruit is not much sought after. Corn is In
moderate demand. A choice article Of wheat
is inquired for, for seed, though other quail
tiles are not much in request, except a. de-
cline of LOG zoe on our quotations, for mill
ing purposes. Flour is steady with a fair
demand. The Grocery trade has not been
very brisk, and without any change in prices.
Cotton-The receipts of Cotton during the
week have been very light and hat received
is mostly of an inferior quality. The receipts
amount only to 80 or 40 bales. We have
heard Of sales of new during the past three
DAYS. In the early part of the week we heard
of the eale OF 10 bales new Cotton at &c
and to-day we heard of the sale OF bales
