bG- The North Wtst of last week con
tains an article in relation to the Indian
murderers and the Vancouver Islacd au
thorities, complaining very justly of the
manner in which justice was denied us.
At the time referred to, Gov. McGill,
besides interesting himself officially in the
matter, devoted bis careful attention to
drawing up all the legal documents, and
from the commencement to the termination
of the affair, conducted it with such energy
and ability that the colonial authorities
we're forced to admit the equity of bis de.
mand, Since, by their procrastination,
they have evaded the obligations of jus.

Ba- Mr. John Jones, Of the n. West
Boundary Commission, arrived here last
Tuesday, having left the terminus Of the
boundary line on the summit OF the Rocky
Mountains, on the 10th OF last month. He
crossed Spokan river on the lst of this
month and arrived at Walla Wulla in 7
days from the Spokan.
The Colville road was in good order-no
snow of any consequence had fallen About
20 miles out from WalIa Walla, the drag.
oons on their way to the Reservation were
met. At Walla Walla, there was q good
deal of excitement in reference to the
mines, and another company will start from
there in the spring. There remains but
about two months more work for the boun'
dairy commission to perform after they
commence, but they will not he able to re.
sumo before the last of April. The an,
cient and renowned "Devi Cush" will be

DoINGs AT THE CAPITAL.-The hews oi
the removal of the Capitol to the extreme
southern part Of the Territory, with all the
apparent causes producing such result, is
now before the community. After the sur
prise at the action of our Councilman shall
have partially subsided, we may be able to
ascertain the cnrrent of cool and impartial
sentiment among bis constituents. As a
newspaper should echo the sentiment Of the
community, we refrain from expressing an
individual opinion uutil the fever of the
public pulse is somewhat assagued, when
we claim the right, conjointly with our
neighbors, of publishing our own ideas, be
they what they may.
The eulogy upon the characters of those
by whom he was honored, will doubtless be
appreciated. If deserved it certainly will
be. The quality of the taste exhibited,
however, is questionable.
OF the feeling upon this subject at Olym-
pia, we can only repeat the remark of a
profane person whe compared his situation
to that of the man mutely sitting upon a
rock by the roadside, near the spot where
bis team was stalled at the foot Of steep
hill-he could not do justice to the sub
ject." t."-POrl IoiOnSend Northwest, 20h inst.

The Latest News

The Pony Express, with dates from St.
Louis to the 23d November, has arrived
The San Francisco Herald gives the fol-
lowing intelligence:
On the goth November, there was 0
grand Republican demonstration at Spring
field, Illinois. Lincoln briefly returned
thanks Trumbull spoke at length He
was understood to define Lncoln's policy.
He said that although he (Lincoln) was
the candidate of party, as Chief Magis-
trate he will belong neither to that nor
any other party; but would be the Presi-
dent Of the whole country-equally of a
State from which he received no vote, as
Of one from which he received the largest
majority. The disunonists urged secession
now or never-because if they woited
till Lincoln was inaugurated, they will have
no chance for secession. The secession
feeling will pass away, and the Union be
preserved.
A better feeling prevails in Georgia.
Large meetings have been held all over
the State, which are more conservative
than previous meetings, but all are op-
posed to coercion. Some declare that the
election of Lincoln is no cause for secession,
though it is unfriendly. Legislation, how
ever, that might be an outrage would de-
mand resistance.
Later dispatches, however, say that the
Convention bill has unanimously passed
both branches Of the Georgia Legislature.
Meetings have been held in Texas in
favor of an extra session of the Legislature.
Thompson Brothers the Bank Note Re
porters) state that the currency panic is
almost equal to that of 1851
All bills on places south Of Washington
are at 20 and 81 per cent discount.
The New York Evening Post says that
the leading banks are about to issue scrip
based on United States stock, to pass in
liquidation of bills to each other. The
scrip to bear seven per cent 1t was
hoped that this would relieve the pressure.
Richmond aud Petersburg banks sus-
pended payment on the 22d. The Balti-
more banks followed the next day.
There was universal agreement among
the produce houses of New Orleans to sus-
pend payment on the same day.
The financial matters of New York are
easier under provision for stopping. The
Exchange Bank has discounted largely.
The Philadelphia brokers refused notes
on their banks, on the 23d.
Another war in Kansas is probable. Fort
Scott has been taken by Montgomery.
Great outrages have been committed by
the Free State men. It'll reported that the
United States Judges and other officials
have been driven out of the Territory, by
the threats of outlaws, and have arrived
in Missouri.
Gen. Harney had been ordered to the
Kansas border, with orders to exterminate
Montgomery's band.
