(O" We have sent the accounts of tliane indebted to ui at Tualatin to Almonn Hill, at Foreit Grove, and our llillsborough accouDti to W, D. liars of Hillsborough Will thoso who owe ui at those puinti pay in tlieir due at soon as possible f We are very much In need of the money. jgrOur latest dales from Now York are to June 5ih. Up to that time, the Home Lad not had the Oregon bill up, and as Congress was to adjourn the next week, it is somewhat doubtful whether we aie now living in a Suite or Territory. Man with F.alaaa. The English practice of boarding our vessels io the Gulf of Mexico to search of slavers has been persisted in till no leu than twenty-one of our vessels have been boarded. The conduct of Great Britain in this matter elicited quite a stormy debate ia the Senate, and many warlike speeches were made, which have reaultcd so far in nothing but an exhibition of a good deal of buncombe proweaa on the part of some and a real disposition to fight on the part of others. The tone of Senators ia decidedly belligerent but we entertain no doubt but (hat England will either disavow the con duct of her officers or make such other apology as will be " highly satisfactory" to the Administration, if not to the nation nt large. There was a rumor in tLe States that a vessel had beea fired into off Fensncola and one maa killed, by the British war steamer Styx, but as the news was tel egraphed from the heart of Georgia, instead of a sea-board town, it was not credited in Washington. Kansas. The Leavenworth Constitution has been accepted by the people by a vote of about '6,000 to 15,000. The Lawrencevillo Republican of May 21 gives an account of another horrible outrage committed upon the Free State settlers by an armed party of ruffians, eight of whom lived in Ksnsas and seven teen in Missouri, headed by the notorious Brockett and Hamilton. The ruffians mndu a descent upon a small settlement on the 'Osage river and took twslve men prisoners, whom they (bund upon their farms at work. They then took their prisoners into a ravine, .and ordered them to form into a line, when the word was given " tako aim fire 1" -and the whole twelve full to the ground, ifour killed and all the rest but one wound ed. They were shot at the distanae of rive 3aoes, when the murderers rifled their "pockets and shot one man in the head who was found to be yet brcathine. One of them made his escape unhurt and gave the .alarm. In less than twelve hours three hundred men had assembled at the scene of slaughter, but the murderers had es- capea into Missouri. Ureal excitement prevailed in Southern Kansas and on the .Missouri border in consequence of it. Wow Route to the Mlaea. We learn from a gentleman who has conversed with citizens of Vancouver that a good route has boen found across the Cas cades, on almost a direct northeast course from Vancouver, shortening the distance to the mines seventy-rive miles. The con tract of opening the trail in three weeks has been let to a responsible man for 82000. The trail passes over no stream of any con siderable sice in the mountains. We think this will prove to be the very route for Or ogonians going with pack animals after all. 03" Mr. Pattorson, our highly efficient City Marshal, is abnut to accomplish what one of his predecessors ever did in ridding our streets of the nuisances in the shape of swine and drunken Indians. He has kept both the pound and jail doing good service this week. Several drunken Indians have been marched off to the lock-up, despite of many exhibitions of disguat at such treat tneut. None of them have yet been in duced to divulge the names of the parties who furnished them the liquor, although one of them was kept in jail five days with only one meal of victuals. , In passing through the country we are sorry to notice that there is a good deal of smut in wheat. We also hoar that in .consequence of the rush" to the mines, soma farmers 'will not be able to save near all of their grain. Machines are not to be had, and farmers who have large fields -of grain, are compelled to cut it with the cradle with the usual " family force." Do. ment has sold his last reaper, but has a few more threshers led. A man who hat had great experience in threshing, after pur. chasing one of them and trying it, informed us that it was the best machine he had ever used. C5r We learn that there will be a tem perance meeting at the Court House in this city next Tuesday night, when there will be a discussion upon the " lager beer" question. What shape it will come up in, we have not learned. 03" The trial of Gen. Walker at New Orleans for a violation of the neutrality laws, resulted ia a disagreement by the jury, ten being for acquittal, and two for conviction. The Prosecuting All'y has entered a nolle prosequi in his case since. Ctlearatlea. The celebrations of the Fourth of July which took place hut Saturday and Mon day, at the various poind heard from, were uncommonly well attended, and gave am ple evidence that our citiscus have lost none of their wonted patriotism. On Saturday, the Sons of Temperance and tho Sunday Schools of Oregon City, Milwaukie, and Portland celebrated the day at Milwaukie, and had a picnic dinner. Their tables were loaded with nice things, not the least of which was an abundant supply of cherries from the gardens of Luclling and U. W. Walling, llie at semblage was quite large, from eight Is nine hundred being in attendance. Rev Mr. Kingtley, of Portland, and Kev. Mr. Atkinson, of Oregon City, made addresses appropriate to the occasion. The Oregon City and Portland Brass Bsnds were in si tendance, and furnished good music during the day. At Aurora, just beyond Pudding River twelve miles from this toward Salem, we learn that there were about a thousand people met and bail an excellent time of it over a very good dinner, which was eon tributcd by the citizens. W.C.Johnson, Esq., we h arn, made them a very good address. At Forest Grove, tho seat of Pacific University, in Washington rounty, thirty miles northwest of this, there was a gath ering of seven hundred people, which we addressed. The lack of instrumental mu sic was very well supplied by some very good singing. The supply of provisions was abundant. Fourteen deer were bar bacucd, with as much other meat. The deer (thirteen of them) were all killed two days before by two companies of seven men each, and some of them were very fat and nice. We did not learn the names of sny of tho hunters excepting that of our old friend Almorao Hill, who officiated as cap tain of one of tho companies. On Monday we were present at the La fayette celebration in Yamhill county, thirty miles southwest of this city. There wore fifteen hundred penle present. The oration was dolivored by John II. Smith when the people repaired to the dinner ta bio, which was set for eight hundred per sons. 1 lie taolo was nearly lined twice, yet there were mnny basketfuls of provis ions which were not eaten. The brass band from Chehalcm discoursed music for the occasion, which was much applaud' cd, and, after the toasts, master Frank, son of Professor Carey, delighted tho crowd with some of his choice songs. In the evening M. Wolfe, Esq., gave the de lighted citizens of the place an exhibition of choice fireworks. Mr. Wolfe deserves much credit for his herculean efforts to make the celebration acceptable to the peo pie. He seemod to be the master spirit of the day, and used every exertion to make everybody comfortable. . He has the credit of being one of the most enterprising citizens of Yamhill county. The next day, we returned home on the Elk, which was literally crowded with ladies and gen tlemen, who lived at toe various river towns and landings above here, who had been to the Lafayette celebration. CapL Sweitzer, whose praise is in everybody's mouth, made the trip in an exceedingly abort space of lime, but stopping to land the pas Senders at their several doors. We had one or two clowns aboard, who furnished much amusement for the ladies, and man aged to keep them awake, notwithstand ing they had danced all the night before at Lafayette. At Portland they also had a grand time of it last Monday. We hear there was a very large gathering. The Fire Compa nies of Portland and this city were out in uniform, and wo hear everybody speaking in the highest terms of the "good time." Gen. Hamilton delivered the oration, and several volunteer speeches were made by our "promising young men." This ends the chapter of celebrations so far as yet heaid from, except peihnps we mention the fact that there was a happy gathering at Champoeg, where there is said to have been a feast of fat things and a great flow of lagor beer. We think the Fourth was generally cel ebrated throughout tho country. 03" Dr. McBride of Yamhill county, who went out last year to prospect the " Meek Cut off" country for goW M induced lo return before he reached th? point of his destination, through fear of In. dians, informs us that he will start after harvest with a company large enough to make the trip, and be has great faith in the complete success of the undertaking. Eld. Johnson, of this city, talks of joining the expedition as one well suited to the pur poses ef health. From VUh. Intelligence had reached Washington from Fort Scott to May 0th. The troops were expected to move into Salt Lake Val ley about the last of May. A rumor had reached Fort Kearney that Gov. Cumming had been expelled from Salt Lake City, and that the Mormons were in arms deter mined to resist the troops to the last. The command at Ft. Scott was said lo be desti tute of provisions and subsisting oa mule meat The Salt Lake newt it unofficial, but is generally credited at Washington. 93" A gentleman who came up on the last steamer as an immigrant from York State, iuforros us that thsre is great talk East about " going to Oregon," V. H. Heaaler. The Legislature has elooted Jo Lane and Dolazon Smith U. S. Senators. The vote, we are Informed, stood : 1st ballot-Lane, 43 Jake WooJ.ides, 1 Blank, 4 1st ballot Smith, 30 Jo Teal, 1 Logan, 10 3T The steamers Oregon, Constitution, Santa Cruz, Republic, snd Commodore are now in the trado from San Franoisco Puget Sound. Added lo these, a vast number of ssiling vessels, among which wo oote the Ork, Gold Hunter, Live Yao keo, Mallory, Cyrus, Merchantman, Wil Ham, Adelaide, May Flower, Juliett, Chas. Devens, Kossuth, Sea Bird, and other crafts, which are constantly unloading passengers and merchandise at Whatcom, on Boiling bam Bay and other points on the Sound, and some Idea may be had of the tremen dous influx of immigration In the direction of the gold mines. The Pioneer and Dem ocrat says that 3000 persons arrived last week. (r The company of miners which was driven back by the Indians, with the loss of two men and all their outfit, returned lo Portland and made another outfit for a new start. At the time they were attacked their company numbered nearly eighty "braves," twenty ef whom only were armed. Cap!. Rincarson informs us that one of the company told him that he washed out five dollars in gold from three panfuls of dirt on one of the branches of the Yakima, only three days travel from tho Dalles. The company will return to the Yakima country, where they expect to find good mines. Gen. Clark has prom ised to send a detachment of troops along with them, and make a military pott in that section to subdue the Indians, t3T We learn that many miners who shipped from California to Bellingbam Bay, upon reaching there found the difficulties so great in getting into the mines that they have come back, and gone out by way of the Dalles. 03" The Pugot Sound papers speak in ra ther discouraging terms of the prospects of a good trail from Bellingham Bay to the new mines. OCT The Pioneer and Democrat, pub lished at Olyinpia, W. T., complains that they are perfectly destitute of flour and ba con, and asks " where is it to come from 1" 03" The Excelsior Troupe, which is on its way to Frazier't river, held forth to a crowded house in this city last Thursday evening. The Company contains some of the best delineators of African character on this coast. 03" New Orleans is in an uproar equal to that of San Francisco in the reign of " vigilance." A large force had been or ganized as a vigilanoe committee to clear the city of rogues which the city authorities bad long tolerated. The streets were tern up, and barricades made of coUob bales. The Mayor finally resigned the municipal authority into their hands and the commit tee appointed a special police of over 1,000 men. 03" A terrible tornado passed over portion of Illinois, May 30th. Ellison, in Monmouth county, was entirely destroyed, and 21 persons killed, as follows: John Hard, and two children, Mrs. McWilliams and 4 children, W. E.

Liberty Hill, Jult4, 1858. Mr. Adams We bad a glorious time yesterday celebrating our glorious Inde pendence Day. A very large concourse of people assembled en the ground about 11 o'clock A. m., when the Declaration of In dependence was read by J. W. Davenport, Esq., followed by an oration by B. F. Bon ham, Esq., from Salem. A procession was then formed, nnJcr Chief Marshal Paul Crsndall, and Assistant Marshals 8.

Af ter dinner was ovor came iho reading of Ihe toasts, the hurrahing, and the firing of cannon, after which we marched back to ibe hotel, and the procession disbanded.

We have heard already of some forty instances in which eur vessels nave been hred at, or into, brought te, and overhauled by the British cruisers, on the pretext or nunting tor slavers. Every day adds to the list of these aggressions. J be citizens of some of our seaports pro posed to fit out armed vessels to avenge these insults ; but ihe President, very prop erly and promptly, ordered the whole dis posable naval force down into the bull. Most of the thips-of-war, so ordered, inclu ding the Wabash, have already sailed for the scene of operations, and are under or ders to protect our vessels from such as saults. Some small iron steamers, the Dol phin, Water Witch, Arctio, and Plymouth -all gallantly manned and commanded, have sailed and with every disposition te lay along side or the iintisb vessols-of-war lbs otyx, the forward, and Ihe JJuzzard, that have been so busy in chasing and searching our Vessels. We shall in a few days have in Ihe uulf of Mexico vessels ' mounting 140 funs, while the British naval force on the West India station mounts 370 guns, a fearful odds against os in case of a collision, which many believe to be inevitable Ibe Committee on roreiun Alimrs of the senate made a report with resolutions on the subject of these aggressions. The resolutions declare in the most solemn man ner, that these aggressions shall not be tol erated, and tbat any measures necessary to sustain tins position ought to be adopted. ibe benate ta in favor of tbe resolutions so far as they go, but a number of the Sena tors, inoludint; Donglas, Hale, Wilson, Toombs, and Mallory, are desirous of us ing tut ther, and directing our naval force to capture and bring into port the offending British cruisers, without wailing for Ihe resnlt of our remonstrances to the British Government. Should the British Govern ment avow the acts of their officers, then it would be an international question. If not, then the offending parties should be dealt with accordingly. JN ei ther the Executive Government nor Congress will suffer again any negotiations with England upon tbe question of tbe right of visit er search. The American doctrine, that the flag protects the vessel and everything in it, will never be yielded. In 1843 this Government had occasion to declare its firm determination on this sub ject. I he Uritisb Government is equally firm. as is believed, in the support of a pretense which gives it the dominion of the seas. England will never relinquish the preten sion of a right to visit ships on the ocean to ascertain their nationality. Ibe orders under which the British crui- sers are acting, were probably given by tbe Palmerston administration. As a ministerial orisis exists in England, it is likely tbat Palmerston may soon again be at the head of the ministry, in which case we shall have much trouble on this question. Lord Napier, the British Minister, has ispatched a letter to the admiral of the West India station, Sir H. Stuart request ing him le desist from further operations against our vessel, until advices be received from Knu'n1 -..II, liUHl... - The country 15 not prepared tor wCr, and never can be till after It become. en- gaged in hostilities. Oregon Land Claims. There have been received at the General Land Office, from the Surveyor-General of Oregon Ter. ritory, surveys ef the undermentioned eight townships, in which are embraced the pri vate claims of upwards of 170 individuals, viz: Townships 37 and 38, south of range 1 ; township 14, touth of range 2 ; town- ship IS, soath of range 3 ; townships 14, 17 and 18, south of range 6 ; and township No. !2, north of range 4 all west of Wil. lamette meridian.

A party of sixty or more miners, bailing from southern Ore gon and northern California leA hero on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday last, for Ihe new " diggings" lo ihe north, tiu tin Snoqualiuie pass. They go well armed and equipped, fire arms and ammuuition havincr been very kindly furnished the party by his excellency Gov. MoMullin out of ihe quota of arms belonging to tbe Territory. No fears whatever need be ap prehended from the Indians on their ao count, as their strength will probably be swelled by large accessions to iheir num bers from Slrilacoora and Seattle, at both of which plaoes, parties are now in wait ing lo join the expedition. The subsis tence taken by those who started from this place is ex pec tod to last them three months. Their animals were generally mules and American horses, strong and vigorous, and will make the trip without any doubt. The services of Mr. W . II Pearson, the Rocky Mountain expressman, have been secured as a guide. Pionter dt Democrat, July 2d. Toombs' Bankrupt Law. Mr. Toombs' Bankrupt Law is being actively considorcd by the Judiciary Committee, and it will probably be presented to tbe Senate early next week. It is understood it win be a general bill, including individuals, corpo rations, chartered banks, and any associa tion of persons authorized to issue notes, bills, ore. It wilt provide for voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy, and will be retroactive. The retroactive feature will be guarded so as to exclude all who, sub sequent lo January last or any other time, have mado assignments, in contemplation of the passage of a bankrupt law, which gave preference to one creditor over an other, and the bankrupt in suth esses shall not reoeive a discbarge unless with the consent of a majority of his creditors who have not been so preferred. The in volantary bankruptcy applies to cases where Ihe debts exceed two thousand dol lars, and the person declared bankrupt is entitled to trial by jury all transfers of properly of any kind, for the purpose of giving any creditor, endorser or other per son any preference or priority over general creditors, to be null and void, and the par lies obtaining them lo be sued for such amount as assets of the bankruptcy. With regard to banks and ether issuers of psper money, they are to come under tbe bead of involuntary bankrupts; and in ad. dition lo all liabilities which attach to indi viduals, they may be declared bankrupt for the non payment for ten days after demand of any bill, note or other liability all the expenses of proceedings to be paid by the parties interested, and under no pretense to be paid by the United States. These are the general features of the bill, we believe, It is to go into effect next November if now passed. Under all tbe circumstances, it ia exceed ingly doubtful if it can pass at this session, but the general impression is that seme bill or the obaracler indicated will become law of this Congress. The retroactive clause will meet with a good deal of oppo sition, but if it is well guaranteed thai may be overcome. A question will also arise as to the power el the general govern ment to interfere with the State corpora tions; but if ibis is pressed, the banks may force the agitation of the much more serious question, if it should be carried out, of tbe power of tbe general government to prohibit altogether Ihe issue of monpy by authority of any of the Slates. Mr. Toombs will, doubtless, call the subject up in tbe Senate next week. Washington correspondence of the jx. x. lit raid IPTA terrible hurricane passed over Peoria, III- lately. It is staled that In the twinkling ef an eye fifteen or twenty hou ses were unroofed, every church spire in the city was blown down, three canal boats loaded with lumber sunk, and the steamer Olio, with twenty-one passengers on board, made a complete wreck, her cabin being blown entirely away. The only life lost was that of a little child from the wrecked steamer. The beautiful college building was entirely demolished. 03" The Lecompton organs all claim that Mr. Douglas is dead.
