intend that here are permanently our homes.
while you can put your blankets upon your
back and find anywhere as good an abode as
you have here. Besides, If you were to leave,
you would have none to regret your depar-
ture, and little would Il matter 10 you how
much slaughter and rapine you would leave
behind you.
"Skookum'' concludes his letter with this
appeal: "Will the community sustain the
citizens Of Claim county, Now that is the
only good thing in the whole letter, and the
people have now the opportunity of showing
by their sy mpathy whether they sustain the
citizens of Claim county and the laws of Wash
ington Territory, Or whether they sustain an
armed mob who override all law and trample
under foot every principle of humanity and
Justice. If men should be shot down clan
destinely for crime here in this county, should
it not be done elsewhere in the Territory as
well. IT, as they say, the laws have not been
enforced heretofore, it is their own fault, and
they arc complaining of their own wrong, as
the whole machinery of the county is now and
has been in the hands of members of this COM
mittce; for when the people have voted them
out Of the county offices, they have managed
to hold on by throwing out election returns,
and thereby giving themselves a longer lease
of power.
They know that unless they can obtain the
sympathics of thepeople of the Territory with
them they cannot rule here. Every man
ought to ask himself whether he would be
willing that his immediate neghborhood
shall Ge governed by mob or not, and if not
do not force upon others what you would not
have yourselves.
Respectfully yours,

~ We publish the following letter from
lion. j. J. McGilvra, without being under

Alvord's ability. We have no desire to have
him relieved from the command of this dis

VANCOUVER, W. T., July 80, 1864.
Ed. STANDARD: Sir: AS Gen. Alvord
and friends seem to be much exercised about
the proposition made last Winter at Washing
ton to relieve him from the command of this
district, propose to briefly state the facts in
relation to that matter.
Soon after arrived in Washington, and
upon consultation with Conness and Mcbride,
(lIarding and Nesmith not then being in the
city,) it was determined to effect, if possible.
radical change in military affairs on this
coast.
With this view. the President and Sccrcta-
ry OF War were consulted, and the rccommcnd-
ations made in the main adopted. 1t was
proposed to relieve Alvord in particular, be-
cause although loyal, and in the main we'll
meaning, he was without tho capacity. vigor,
Or decision requisite.
Nesmith and Harding, when they arrived,
both concurred with us, and Harding, as | am
told by Secretary Stanton, called at the War
Department, and in behalf of Nesmith and
himself, consented to the removal of Alvord.
The only difficulty was to get suitable
mau for the place that the Government could
spare from the field. Gen. Russell was
named, but Stanton said he could not spare
him, and would not exchange him for dozen
Alvords.
Alvord may not be relieved, but if not it
will be because better men are more needed at
the seat of war.
