6. Iletolved, That the partisan decision of

a disgrace to the Judiciary of the nation, and
a siam upon me cnaractcror me country,

Its largest sense, and Its hatred of tyranny!
In every form.
The Judges of tho Supremo Court

Washington, March 2, 1858.
I bolievo I slated to you In my pro
vlous letters that I was fearful tho Ar
my bill would bo defeated In tho Bon
nie. This has been done. After the
original bill had been so amonded and
altered in such n manner that (he fath
er of it (Gon'l Davis,) could Hot know
Ids own child, the bill was ordered lo
a third reading and (hen put upon Its
passage, nnd defeated by a voto of ayes
10, nays 27. Tlio .Military Commlttoo
of tho House, in anticipation of the
Senato bill being defeated, have re
ported a bill which I think Is likoly to
to becomo n law. Tho bill authorizes
thb raising of ono regiment of volun
leers In Texas to dofond that State
against Indian depredations, nnd four
additional regiments of volunteers, (o
bo called into tho sorvico nt tlio dlscre
tion or the President, and lor such a
portod of timo os ho may dotormlne
(hoy will bo required.
Congress acts so unconcclvcnbly slow,
and (ho exigencies of (ho existing Mor
mon wnr requiring that troops should
now bo on (ho march to Utah, I under
stand tho Secretary of War has docid
od not to wait any longer on tho notion
of Congroas, nnd ho will therefore give
Immcdlato orders (o withdraw all the
troops (hat can possibly bo spnrcd from
(ho Allanllo seaboard and from tho
frontier posts, who will be ordered to
conconlrn(o a( Fort Leavenworth, pro
paratory to their joining tho troops now
in Utah under command of Col. John
ston, so ns lo bo prepared to commence
operations against the Mormons the
momont spring opens. Had tho army
boon increased in tlio mnnuor proposed
by tho Secretary of Wnr, it was his in
tention to havo sent Gen'l Soolt (o (he
Pacific coast to hnvo enrriod on from
tiint sldo a concorted movement against
tho Mormons, with tho troops un
der Col. Johnston ; but I havo (earned
from good nuthorlly that such a move
ment has been abandoned, and it is not
probable that any troops will bo des
patched from (he Pacific sido.
Tho majority of tho Committee ou
Territories havo roportcd a bill for thu
admission of Kansas under tho Lo-
camptou constitution, and Sonator
Douglas and tho Republican mombors
havo submitted minority reports, Tho
question is now beforo tlio Smialo to
bo finally disposod of, nnd (ho contro
versy will bofiercouid bitter, but thoro
is not tho slightest doubt (hat (hero is
n majority of tlio Senato in favor of tho
admission or Kansas under that con
stitution, and that the bill will pass that
body within two woeks. It is gener
ally believed by tho Administration
members of tho House, but not con
ceded by (he opposition, that thero isn
majority sufficient (o pass It there, and
I nm strongly of that opinion. The
struggle will no doubt bo protracted,
and every proposition prcsontod fought
to tho last moment, engendering vin
dictive feelings between members and
violent agitation between tho different
sections of tlio Atlantic States, but fin
ally Kansas will come in as a Slate
under tho Lecomntou constitution.
l no opposition will (ry to keen un the
agitation for noliticul capital, hut I
think tho whole country country will
rejoice when (ho Kansas Imbroglio will
have been brouolu (o n close bv her
admission ns a State, and when our
legislators will do something more than
ono etornal tight about "niggers."
Although your distinguished ropro
scntativo, Gen'l Lane, has energetically
exerted himself to induce (ho House to
take up Territorial business, thoro is
not tho slightest prospect of boing able
to accomplish his purposo until (be
Kansas question is disposed of.
Mr, Buchanan is strongly possessed
of tho doctrine (hat "thoso who are not
for, are against me." and ho has com
menced removing from office all who
favor Senator Douglas' views upon tho
Kansas question, and pultini: in their
places Democrats who aro in favor of
tho course laid down in the President's
special message to Congress in trans
mitting tho Lecompton Constitution.
The political ax has already fallen on
me neaua oi many prominent nntl-l.e
compton Democrats in Cincinnati, St.
Louis, Chicago and other places, and
tho end is not yet. Col. Jack Hays
roturns to California by the Steamer
which carries this letter.
There has been a perfect opidemlc
of fights and duels hero for tho past
two weeka whioli has kept (he 3Ietro
polia in a constant exoitement and
commotion, and (ho pulico officers bu
sy in apprehending (ha violators of the
peano.
Duel No. 1. Col. Sumner i-liullenir.
od General Harnoy relative (o matters
growing out of the recent Court Mar
tlal held on (ho former, and Gon. liar
ney has sent the challenge to the War
wcjHiriiiieni, upon wnloh (he SeoreUry
has ordered another Court Martial on
Col oumner.
Duel No. Q. Ex-LieuLRhltidofthc
Navy sent a cballengo to Commodore
lioutwell, who rcruscd to accept u on
the ground that Rhlnd had been dis
missed from the Navjr for lyjng and
o(ber conduct' unbecoming a gentle
man, whereupon Rhlnd posted liout
well on the doora of tho Navy Depart'
ment, and In his poster lie complimen
ted Boutwcll as being a "liar and a
coward, and at tho samo (Imo sent
him a noto stnting ho would defend his
postor for ton minutes alone, and lie
did so. This gentlemanly duel No. 2,
is ended for the present by both Lieut.
Rhlnd and his second being bound
over for their appearance at court, the
former for posting a man contrary to
tho net of Congress of 1830, making it
n penitentiary offence, and (ho latter
for being a bcarorof a challenge, which
places him in the samo category.
Duel No. 3. Llcutonnnts Bell and
Williams, of (ho Army, chanced (o
meet nt Williord's Hotel barber shop,
whereupon cancg and fists woro used
oxlcnslvcly hy tho bellgcrcnts, but more
to (ho damago of tho poor barber's
goods and bottles, than their own nor
sous, which, however, lod to a chnl
longe nnd a meeting of (ho parlies at
Bludenaburg "with pistols and cofTeo
for one." Lieut. Bell's shot struck
Lieut. Williams' $5 tile, (ho ball just
grazing (ho skin, and (hen (hero was an
amicablo adjustment and instead or
coffee, they took n "smllo" all around.
Duel No. -I. Gon. Cullom, or (en-
nessee, laic Clork of tho House, Insul
ted Iho Hon. Jas. B. Clay, son of tho
great "Harry of (lie West," In Brown's
tiotci, uecauso no uectinou iirininng
with him, calling him "an unworthy
son of an illustrious slro" nnd slap
pod him in tho fiico. A cballengo was
tho consoquonco, nnd tho partlos went
to tlio field armed with rifles, but the
diliiculty was settled by referring (he
question (o umpires, ono chosen by
each party, (hey choosing a third, ana
(hey woro Senators Toombs, Critten-
don und Kennedy who docided that
Gonorol Cullom was in tho wrong nnd
should npologizo to Mr. Clay for tho
insult offered, which Gon. C. had the
manliness to do, nnd thus ended duel
No. 4. Tho bravery of theso gentle
mon is undoubted by thoso who know
(hem, both were gallant officers in
tlio iuoxicnn wnr.
Duel No. 5, is now undor way, so
it is said, nnd is between a Lieutenant
of (ho Navy und a nephew of a Sena
tor. Tho cnuio tho latter, it is said,
oflbrcd a gross insult (o (ho former's
wifo.
A son oftbo Emorald Islo boing ask
ud by ono of his compatriots what kind
of faro he got whon ho worked, on
awcrcd that it was "illlgant and divar-
allied; In tho morning ho bnd pork;
nnd prntlos, lor (tinner praties and pork,
und for supper friod pork and prntlos."
Now, our representatives havo civon us
a similar entertainment during tlio pro
sent session, for (hoy havo served up
(he Kansas question in every style, and
I haven new subject to writo you about,
viz: tho Kansas question in another
shape, being a motion mado by Sena
tor Green of Missouri which proposos
to taek tho Kansas bill (Locompton
Constitution) on tho Mincsotn bill, and
in this wny 1 can confidently assure
your readers loth bills will pass the
Senate awl also the House by from
five to'ffteen majority. Congress may
then uo some legislation wliiclimay bo
of iutrinsio intorcst and benefit to tho
wholo country.
Pobitivo information lias beon receiv
ed hero that Gen. Satita,Aiina, with a
largo number of partisans, will soon
proceed in a Spanish wnr steamer to
Mexico, to assume tho Dictatorship of
mat (iistracteu country. II is (he opi
niou here that Ids attempt will bo suc
cessfully opposed and that the contend-
ing factions will unite in driving him
from Iho Republic. It is also belicvod
(bat tho States of Sonora and Chlohu
nbu will doclaro their Independence and
sepnrato from (he other Mexican States;
which, if they do, manifest destiny will
soon mnko them integral parts of the
American Union.
Tho ro establishment of (be Nlcar.

long enjoyed by (ho U. S. Pacific Mail
Steamship Co., and the faro by their
steamers has been reduood (o 8200 in
the first cabin, 8150 in the second
cabin, and 8100 in tho steoraije, I un

T&e "National" champlona thought
they were strong In this county, but
they made an almost total failuro in
their great County Convention only
one precinct represented fully and ono
other portly but (hey mado out (o
send a relaxed delegation (o Eugeno.
This assumed name ot "Nationul Do
mocrncy" is nothing more nor less than
tho motley opposition that tho Demo
crats of Oregon battled against in the
last canvass for delegate to Congress,
with a new addition of 6nco half-mado
Democrats, who only acted with (he
party t'.r popularity, and (heir grade
not being rnlsed fast enough to suif
their tasto, they havo assumed tho name
which is so correct in tho 'Ox' print,
as "National Democrats' embracing
and covering tho namo B. U . Let
them corns under wbntnamo they may
choose, wo will consider that tho samo
old foo Is at hand, which lias met so
many defeats, and still can bodefoated
by tho gallant Democrats. Tlio enemy
will muke a total failure in thtlr next
Convention in this county, undor (ho
assumed nnmo. They may mako
an effort (o rally under (hulr original
name, but their "row" will stop (hero ;
as usual, (hat will be all.
Our County Convention comes off
on tho 15th of this month. Wo will
hnvo tlioprivllcgo this year of olcctlng
two Representatives ami a Sonator, nnd
wo will endeavor to havo a fair repre
sentation -in tho noxt Legislature. We
