| REMOVAL OF Col. STEINBERGER.-By an order from
the War Department, Col Justin Steinberger, com
mander of Fort Waila Walla has been ordered to re-
port himself at Vancouver to be mustered out of the
service. No is assigned for the removal, but
it is believed by many to have been effected through
the influence of j. j. McGilvmy, who is now in Wash
ington City. McGivray went to Washington last
fall and after his departure it was announced that he
went for the purpose of operating against the nHu-
ence of Delegate in Congress, and efecting the
removal from the Territory of Gen. AIvord and sun
dry other Ito him) obnoxious officers. This McGil-
vray holds the position of Territorial Attorney-a gift
direct fromthe President with whom he claims to be
personally acquaintedand boasts Of his influence at
Washington. Here, he has succeeded in rendering
himself obnoxious to the people wherever has gone,
and his character (that of little sqirrelheaded
hypocrite and meddler) taken in connection with
that of some of the other personal frends' of the
President here gives cause for belief that he possesses
the boasted influence. And hero we may remark
that the presence of just such men as McGvray in
high official position in midst and claiming to be
personal friends" of the President, docs more to
prejudice the minds of the people against the Ad-
mnistration and to force conviction of its weak
ness than all other causes combined. McGvray is
the instrument that operated in eecng the removal
of our postmaster here and the only wonder now is
that he did not seek to give his postoice pet the
Colonelcy Of the regiment. But we presume the re
moval was effected under the pretensc that the Regi
mcnt was down to the CONSOLATION standard" and
therefore not entitled to a Colonel
Col. Steinberger officer, has given the fullest
satisfaction both to the people of his command and
those by whom he has been Immediately surrounded
He took charge of the post at time when the SOL
diers stood with loaded muskets, ready, the word
to begin indi scrimnate massacre of our citizens
lin case of observation-disclosures one or two persons
had offended aga nst them, and at the same time
with ncendiary torches in their hands, ready to lay
our city in ashes In few weeks he succeeded in
changing this order of things and established that
good feeling and fellowship which should ever exist
between citizens and soldiers and we venture the
assertion that there is nota better governed military
post on the Pacific coast than Fort Wala Walla. We
presume the sum total of Col. Stenbergers offending
has been that his political views were notsynonymous
with those Of the narrow-minded Territorial Attorney
For shame on such procedure If madness is to
rule the hour" let it be of such character that there
will be method in it," If such men as J.J. Nc
Gvay are allowed to rule the destnes of Washing
ton Territory and the Pacific coast it is high time the
people were crying aloud for change of Admins
tration

Sumter (Which has so often been battered
to atoms, by telegraph) might possibly be
in the hands of the indomtable Gilmore. In
short, many things might occur in the mean
time which we would like to chronicle and
give to our readers as events transpired; but
if the mails stop, these things we must fore
go. We are rather disposed, like the ma
jority of mankind to look forward upon the
bright side, and we hope and expect to soon
have regular mails again by boat or overland

STILL HARPNG ON MY DAUaHrER. .7-The 0rego-
nian and Washington Standard are still charging
each other with being instrumental in eaectng the
defeat of J o. Raynor and securing the election of
Mr. Cole at the late Delegate election in this Terrific
ry. The proposition that either of them could have
had any influence in the matter is absurd enough to
those acquainted with the peculiar doctrines advoea-
ted by each, and especially does it seem ridiculous to
those who read both papers during. the canvass,
when all their lying abilities and moager reasoning
powers used in favor of the defeated candidate.
As we have before ntimated und as they can see by
referring to the official vote of our Territory the de
feat Of RaynOr was effected by the will Of Just six
teen hundred and twontyeight loyal voters.
