EDIroR OBSERVER:
Sir The people Of this Territory
and Oregon are waiting With solemn
forebodings for the next news per

Our papers are filled with secession,
disunion and the probable conse-

election The large majority Of ouI
citizens are for compromise and Un-

liberty bills by the Northern States,
for enforcing the constitution to pre-
vent rebellion from any quarter and

DRIFTwooD.

On the thirty.frst 81 last inst.
our Legislature adjourned sine die.
During the session there we're seven
teen divorces granted and a large
humber refused. The Territorial
capitol was moved from the city OF
Oily mpia to the city Of Vancouver.
The Penitentiary from Vancouver to
Port Townsend CD Puget Sound. A
me morial praying for a division Of
the Territory was defeated. A horde
of Republicans have flown to Wash
ington city. seeking official iavors
from the President elect. The cit
izens Of Oregon and California are
making an effort TO establish tele-
graphic line from Portland TO Sacra-
mento. 1t appears TO meet With
favor. The prospects for good min
ing on the tributaries Of the Column
bia is better than known before. The
Democratic Territorial Convention to
nominate a Delegate for Congress
meets in this place on the 18th Of
May. The Republican convention
meets in Olympia on the 10Th Of the
same month. With the exception Of
a few days the winter has been mild.
and to-day the SUI shines as pleas.
antly as it we're an April morning.

The Captain OF tine Iroquois Charged
with Letting tho sumter Escape.
New YoRK, Dec. 13.-The brig Thomas w.
Rowland, Capt. Rowland, from Rio Janeiro via
81. Thomas, Nov. 81, Arrived at this port last
night. =
Capt. Rowland states that the Captain Of the
U. s. gunboat Iroquois is entirely to blame for
the escape OF the Sumter The Captain of the
gunboat sent man on shore at Port Royal
with signal lights, and gave him instructions
TO signalize TO him the movements of the Sum-
ter; and on the night Of the 23d Of November,
signals were made by the man on shore that
she was leaving the harbor, but no notice was
taken Of IL by the Captain Of the Iroquois.-
His First Lieutenant tried to persuade him to
give chase, which they could easily have done,
as the Sumter drew one foot more water than
the Iroquois; but be would not hear TO II, say
ing thatit would be very unpleasant for him to
capture her, as he and Capt. Semmes had been
schoolmates and had sailed very much together,
and Captain Semmes had been his superior Of
fcer.I
Another reason that the Captain of the Iro-
quois gave was, that he did not wish TO break
the neutrality laws. a
The movements of the Sumter were seen
from the deck of the Iroquois.
These facts becoming known at st. Thomas,
the greatest indignation prevailed among the
Americans In port and all Others friendly to the
United States.

Fort MONROE, Dec. l2.--The Norfolk Day
Book has dates from Pensacola to December Sd.
There had been no further fighting, but Gen
Bragg hourly anticipated renewal of the at
tack from Fort Pickens. The Federal vessels
were fitting in and out of the harbor in the
most bewidering manner to the rebels. Some
times there would be dozen in the ewes. All
but two disappeared before morning.
The Norfolk Day Book, Of Thursday, was
considerably excited in relation to rumor that
Norfolk is to be attacked. 1t suggests that ad-
ditional obstructions be placed in the entrance
of the harbor, and if not done by the military
authorities, urges that the city council take II
in hand. ...... ,-rr.rs. s,,...,

In reply to the application Of Capt Nelson
for warrant to search the Nashville TO recover
certain property belonging to him and the own
ers Of the ship Harvey Bnrcb, Earl Russell di-
rected his Secretary to reply tnat he cannot au-
thorize the magistrate to lssue such warrant,
and declined to interfere in the matter The
application was made on the recommendation Of
minister Adams.
The dispatches Of the Commissioners escap-
ed the vigilance Of the officers of the San ia
cinto, aud safely arrived in the La Plata, in
charge of gentleman of the party. On ar
rival at Southampton, the remainder of Slidell
and Mason's families and suite went on board
the Nashville, and the next day the dispatches
we're taken to London. No repairs had yet
been commenced on the Nashville.
The London Times is more moderate in its
comments than the News. While denying that
the Federal Government, on its own position,
has right to overhaul neutral ships, 1t never
theless admits that England herself has estab.
lished precedents, which now tell against her
in this matter of the Trent; but these prece-
dents were made under circumstances very diff
ferent, 1t asserts. from those which now occur
England was then fighting FOR existence, and
did In those days what she would not do now,
nor allow others to do.
In discussing the question whether Mason
and Slidell were liable to capture as bellger-
ents or contrabands on board the Trent, the
Times states, as the opinion Of very eminent
jurists, that this was not the question to be ad
Indicated by the boats crew. The legal course
would have been to bring the ship Itself int
port for adjudication. n.
1t concludes with the expression that Eng
lishmen will discuss the question with calm
ness, and appeals to the Federal States not Il
provoke war by such acts.
