MEMoRIAL.-The following memorial has been
introduced into the Oregon Legislature and will
probably pass
To the Honorable the Senate and House of
Representatives in Congress assembled: Your
memorialists, the Legislative Assembly of the
State of Oregon, respectfully represent the i'm
portance and necessity, in view of foreign con-
fcts, of furnishing this State with full compile
ment of arms and munitions of war; the estab-
fishing of an arsenal, and the building of an iron
gun-boat for the Columbia river; to enable us to
defend this coast against the enemies of the Uni
ted States That the State is defenseess and
absolutely at the mercy of any wooden sloop of
war; Therefore, your memorialsts would ask and
pray for early action by bill and appropriation
for the defense of Oregon and the northwest
coast

MINERS AND INDIANs.-We are informed
that a company of men, numbering about
one hundred, have organized, armed and
equipped themselves, at Auburn, Powder
river mines, for the purpose of pursuing
and chastising the Snake Indians for killing
and robbing the emigrants. 1t is said that
some Of the members Of this party are emf
grants whose trains have suffered from In
dian depredations. They will be likely to
find some of these treacherous and trouble
some Snakes; and their stock, together
with that they have stolen, will furnish a
rich booty to the adventurers.

SKKIPTER.-" Bro. Pearne," of the
Adrocate, and late aspirant for Senatorial
honors in Oregon, has been quoting Scrip
ture for our benefit. He extracts para
graph from the STATESMAN denying as
he says a report that A. Leland had been
hung" and adds the following:
Happy is he that condemneth not himself N
that which he alloweth."
The pint to this we don't adzactly see !;
but we do not believe we would condemn"
the hanging of Bro. P. without good and
sufficient reason; nor, if the alternative
were offered, would we allow" him to 90
unhung, if we thought he would not be
too useful. But, as g business is business, -
as he said in the lumber trade, we will
reciprocate by quoting passage for him:
Wo unto ye Scribe, Pharsee, hypocrite The
senators and representatives of Oregon did not
have sufficient confidence in your integrity, ability
and religion to elect you to the United States
Senate"

response to letter addressed him by citi-

the order of the commander of the post at
Colville, forbidding the sale of liquor in
that valley to the whites, and has given an
order to the effect that g it is not advisable
to prevent the introduction of liquor for
sale to the whites, and that its sale must
be regulated by the laws of the Territory" ="

DEATH OF GEN. STEvENs.-We are
forced to the belief that the report in the
dispatch published last week announcing
the death of General Isaac l. Stevens, is not
without foundation, as we have looked in
vain in subsequent dispatches for a contra
diction of the report. 1t is ascertained be-
yond doubt that he was in the recent en-
gagements on the Potomac, which fact goes
to corroborate the truth of the report allu-
ded to. If our fears are realized patriot
has fallen; true soldier and an able and
fearless general has gone to his rest from
the strife of arms and the din of battle
Gen. Stevens was man of extraordinary
capabilities, and possessed a will that naught
but the cold damp of death could conquer
In his decease Washington Territory has
lost lifelong friend and advocate, whose
place can be but poorly supplied AS a
people we regard his death peculiarly Sc
we're dispensation of providence, and loss
that will be most bitterly lamented.

Mr.. Ingram, the 18th juror, had been excused
during the pleadings from acute sickness.
Judge Packwo0d then passed sentence 9 that at
A. NJ and noon be hung by the neck till he is dead.
The prisoner asked to have the sentence carried
out sooner, saying that he was innocent but knew
he had to die now. He remarked here that poi
son that will kill wolves will not kill men, The
Marshal then took him in his charge.
This morning about ten o'clock bell-man went

Indian Massacre.

Mr.. Barnett, of the Powder river express,
brings intelligence that previous to his de-
parture from Auburn, on Monday, report
was in circulation there that ffty-six miners
had been murdered by the Snake indians.
at Mormon Basin, forty miles south Of Au-
burn. A man arrived at Auburn on the
morning of Monday from the Basin, and
stated that the Indians had attacked the
miners, and so far as he knew, he was the
only one that escaped. On the evening of
the same day two others came in, bringing
a similar report. The report is believed at
Auburn, though it is thought the massacre
may not have been so general as these men
state, and that others will yet come in.
A report was also in circulation that the
soldiers who went out to protect the emf
grants had been attacked by the Indians
and defeated. The report says the soldiers
were divided into two companies, and were
attacked simultaneously. This report needs
confirmation
The emigrants also bring intelligence of
much difficulty with the Indians. The late
trains have suffered severely on account of
the Indians driving off their stock. Small
parties were attacked almost every day
along the whole line of the route from Fort
Laramie to Powder river, and numbers of
them were killed. They state also that
Crawford's escort was compelled to stop at
Fort Laramie to defend that place from the
Indians.
Notwithstanding the precautions taken
by the government in providing military
protection for emigrants, it is already evil
dent that the present years emigration have
suffered as severely from Indian depreda-
tions as at any previous year, and the sequel
may show that they have Jared far worse

Thomas D. Afcy ID Gee recently came out in
manifesto plcdging the Irishmen of Canada
to loyalty to Great Britain in case Of a var.
An attempt the other day Of this valiant gen
tlcman to enrol IN Irish battalion at Montreal
signally failed. The hall in which the Irish
men assembled, We are told, was we'll filed,
and the President of tile st. Patriclz's Society

The Presidents appeal to the Irishmen to

the rag Of Ehg1and?' mingled with such ex-
pFessions as "You wish to be Colonel your
self, do you?' And his next appeal to his
adoption was met By another interruption
reminding him that it is not the land Of
their fat6ers. Again, when the President
pointed out the privileges 1rishmen enjoy
in Canada, arefraetory portion Of the audience
suggests to him-ae may thank the United
States for that. At length the unfortunate
Chairmanis compelled to subside; aud in order
to n1ollify the audience and INSPIRE if possible,

TREASON IN INDIANA.
a New Secret Society EKpoxed--Why

from the Indianapolis Journal, MondaY.1
We have heretofore alluded to some Of the
efforts instigated by John G. Davis, which
aimed to defeat the collection of the direct
tax in this State, but the latter discoveries
show that those efforts were but the beginning
and rough outline Of a system which Is
now IS Complete and thoroughly prepared
for its it's Internal work as it can be- BY
means which 1t is no necessary to disclose
it has been asccrtained that q secret society
has been organized in this State with the pur.
pose Of opposing the waE and defeating Er!1i gu
Society has Its oaths, passwords, signs and
lodges, as any other secret society, and
is undoubtedly an ohshoot Of the
* 6. c., association, adapted T., 70 rar1s an,s
Haute, in Rockville, in Madison, and several
other places. It's meetings arc secret, and is
lodge rooms arc kept carefully concealed. Its
members in this city, and several others, are
positively known, though it is not known that
there may not be others connected Wat9 a. It
existence OF the Society has been known for
some time, but it has only been within short
time that appliances could be brought to
bear to procure fnu exposure OF the secrets.
John 6. Davis is reported by telegraph to
have passed through Hopkinsyille, BY: day

complete the treason he has 60 long been

chosen this particular time for his flight if hi

From The Detroit AdFefttHef, dUI4-l
The report having been circulated that forti-
icat:ons were in process Of construction, at
Windsor, and which seemed to receive addi-
tiona1 confirmation, from the fact that Govern
ment engineers had lately visited that place
for the purpose Of selecting suitablc location
Tor the erection Of fortidcations, our reporter
was induced to visit the locality In question.
The place referred to, is short distance in
the rear, and q little to the right Of the Town
Hall, On an enincncc commanding the most
thickly settled portion Of our city: It com
prises an area OF about six hundred and
twenty-five rods on each side, around which
the gEouud has been thrown up in very cyon
and accurate manner, to the depth Of about
two feet, and somewhat resembling a vol
made carriage road, but the corners are SO
nearly equaru that 1t is quite impossible that
it shou1d have been thrown mp for this par-
/. pose. 1t is very pro hable that this is the
commencement Of q fort, as the location is
well selected, occupying an eminence which
commands the most thickly populated portion
