From the Upper Columbia.

A letter from Yakima county, dated 25th
ult., informs us that the weather in that sec
tion has not been very cold. Snow has fall
len at different times to haitian inch in depth,
but as a general thing the winter so far mad
been fine.
Stock had not been doing rs well as ex-
pected, from the fact that the grass in the
bottoms was too dry
good deal of excitement prevailed
throughout the country in regard to appre-
hended Indian difficulties. 1t was thought
unless troops were sent TO Fort Simcoe, there
would be a general Stampede" towards the
Dalles. The letter says:
'There is something up with the Salmon
eaters They have no familiarity with the
whites They are great thieves There is
hardly day passes without something being
lost; of course the articles are not stolen,
although they are not found or recovered.
There is prevailing feeling dissatisfaction
among the Indians. They are preparing as
fast as they can for war"
1t is reported that the Indians in the Vi
cinity of Priests. Rapids have a prophet, So
styled, among them, who is causing great
mischief, melting the Indians generally to
hostility towards the whites. He has made
them believe that he can make powder and
bullets If this be true, the copper-coored
gentlemen ought to be taken care of, in the
best manner possible.
Advces from Walla Walla, up to the goth
ult., informs us of disturbance that had oc-

saloon keeper. The former in a state of in
toxication had been driven from the premises
of the latter two or three times, and had re-
ceived some bodily injuries. lie returned
with number of his comrads, when they at
tempted to fire the premises, in which, had
they been successful, many other houses
would have been destroyed The citizens
generally interfered and prevented any fur
ther demonstrations Upon petition to Major
Stein, for that end the soldiers in future will
not have such free and general access to the
town, which is about a mile from the Fort,
as heretofore.
The first party that went out to what is
called the Nez Perce country, to engage in
mining operations, have sent back their
horses and intend remaining there during
the winter. Gold is said to be there in pay
ing deposits.
A company of fifteen men were expected
to leave Walla Wala for that direction in
few days.
A weekly communication is to exist be
tween Walla Walla and the Dalles, by stage
which leave both places every Tuesday at
noon. Portland AdyertiSer.

SECTIONAL PREAcHER.-For Heavens sake,
listen to the annexed remarks of the Rev.
Mr. Somebody in Charleston, s. c., recently.
He does not expect to gain anything by it, in
a secular point of view, of course:
It's my settled conviction that the course
this State is at present persuing, is the Chris
tian one the one that God approves Of
-FOUR pastor has cherished this belief for the
last nine years. When the ministry were
called on IN 1851 to express their sentiments
on TINS subject, gave it as my sincere belief
through one OF the pulpits of this city, that
our people had either TO dissolve the present
compact or those rights which God only has
placed in our possession. SO the problem
seems to have finally solved itself; and on
the ruins of another Government NAV ba
poised for the solution of the world in future,
the grave, long-mooted question, whether
nations, like individuals, have not in them
selves the seeds Of their own dissolution. In
the archives Of His wisdom may be written a
negative response and unborn generations,
as they drift along the shore of Time, will
either be enabled practically to recognize it.,
or sink in turn to folly. For my own part,
will only say, in conclusion, my every sym.
pathy is in the soil on which / stand. / have
never known any other mother than this :;
and cling to her with the devotion of a
child. My dear dead ones sleep in her dust ;
my children have been nursed on her bosom,
and here hope to repose this head when my
cares are over If Carolina falls | fall with
her. Ifshe prospers it will be the richest
privilege Of my life to aseribe to God the
glory.

TAE CAPTIVE CHILDREN.-It will be re-
membered, says the Portland Advertiser, that
in the massacre of immigrants to this coun-
try, which occurred in August last, it was
feared that some little children had been cap
tured by the Indians We are informed that
two Snake Indians who have Nez Perce
wives, and speak their language, have been
sent by Agent Cain into the Snake country
to ascertain if any tidings can be obtained of
any children in the hands of those Indians
1t is believed they will get the children, if
there be any alive, and bring them in.
The Indians intimated before they left,
that the snow would be SO deep, that they
could not bring them in before spring, but if
they found them alive they promised to stay
with them, until such time as they could re-
turn safely with the children. These two
Indians started about the middle of Novem-
Der last, since which nothing has been heard
from them.

PROPOSED TELEGRAPH LINE.-A few DAYS
since we adverted to the fact that Mr.. j. E.
Strong had arrived in this city with view
comforting with the citizens of Portland
upon the propriety of constructing line of
telegraph from this point to Yreka, by which
means we shall be in.regular communication
with California, and in a few months, with
the Atlantic States. The cost of constructing
a substantial line of telegraph between Yre-
ka and this city is estimated at $75000-the
distance being about $50 miles. 1t is pro-
posed to run the line so that offices will be
located at Portland, Oregon City, Salem, AL
bany, Corvallis, Eugene City, Roseburg and
jacksonville.
Mr.. Strong informs us that as soon as the
whole amount necessary to complete the line
is subscribed, the work will be commenced
but no money will be required from subscri-
bers until the work has been undertaken, and
the shares will be made payable in five equal
installments of 20 per cent. each. 1t is alsc
understood that no person will be rendered
liable for more than the amount originally
subscribed. These terms are similar to those
under which telegraph lines in California
have been built, and we hope our enterpris-
ing business men will lend helping hand in
the construction of this great work, which
will ultimately prove of vast utility to the
entire population of the Pacific coast.-Port-
land Oregon) Adv. Jan l1M.

JAMES BUCHANAN gave the commissioners
from the South Carolina seceders a hearing
before his Cabinet What would jackson or
Washington have done under similar circum-
satnces? 4? Suppose the Pennsylvania Whisky
Rebellionists had sent commissioners to treat
with Washington, what would have been
their treatment at his hands? Or suppose
the South Carolina Nulli6ers had sent COM
missoners to treat with Old Hickory, how
would the old hero have acted The simple
enunciation of these inquiries shows the i'm
measurable difference between Washington
or jackson and Buchanan-between a
patriot and traitor-between brave man
and a poltroon.-ShdSta Courier.

c. Heenan, who whipped the Champion Of
England on his own ground-Princess, the
equal if not the peer of the queenly Flora,

thrill of pride and qualification on hearing
that Jimmy Kennovan had vanquished the
Champion Pedestrian of England. Let all
lend helping hand, and it will be done.
