OCT Two communications appearing in

be noticed In our next. In tbe interim.
we wis it understood, that we are not Jn
flavor of the indepaadence of Oregon, nor
of revolution, nor of setting known laws
and acknowledged rights at defiance
either of which should and would damn,
snorally aad politically, any man in Ore.
The association thick we opposed, and
which haa now been entered into by a few
of the citizens of Clackamas county, re.
quires it members to protect each other
In tbe possession of their land claims to
tho amount of 040 acre, and places the
property, honor, and lives of its members
besftben their claims and all interference.
In joining aucb an association, every lion,
eat and honorablo man (If such can join
it) is firmly bound to defend the claims of
his fellows against all persons, all officers,
all forces, and all laws, territorial or Unl
tetLSUtaa, aa long as life, or honor, or pro;
peHjr riaaafa,.,...,u -
We denounced each sn association as
pernicious, rjoteae, and revolutionary.
We have stated that rather than enter In.
to such an association, it would be better
to eater into one in which its members
might pledge themselves to use all peaces
hie means to prevent claim-jumping, un
til Congress could bo memorialized, to
take effect after tbe present government
eceoed to exist, and In case Injuatice
49 should be done to the citizens of Oregon.
But we never advocated resistance to the
laws of the United Slates. We denoun-
year association in toto, and voted
against it hat a few voted either way ;

Ail Ibo Indian ahantlee in Linn City,

The destruction of tbe housre and
estate of Meaty Indiana, in our midst, Is
a matter tuta all may very properly re
gret but II that destruction was tbe work
of an incendiary, and that Incendiary a
white man, it is a matter of more than re.
gret.
There is no doubt but that the Indiana
of Linn City are a sore nuisance to its
citizens: this .is true, to a certain extent,
throughout the entire territory, wherever
the Indian erects his lodge, or allows It to
remain in tbe vicinity of the while man's
Implement; yet, these are lar from jus
tifying a general and unprovoked slaugh
ter of all tbe Indians of tbe territory, or the
wanton destruction of all lltc'lr property.
The Indians are In the country, and as
tans as they bear themselves peacefully
nd wo ,nouM de" I1 bv
,nrtm- ,.., .. ,.... .....
per, are now dead, and that those who have
lately resided there, Wong to other tribes:
this, if true, materially chances the face
of the matter, yet, it I) no means justifies
tbe burning of their houses in 'the night
and in their absence.3 We always have
objected, and trust that we always shall
object to such a course of procedure. In
our last, we warned our fellow.cititens
not to enter into an association which set
at defiance publio laws and private rights,
because tho rights of men here ate equal,
and if it might be done in one case by one
set of men, it might bn done in another
case by another set of men. If one set tf
men are allowed to redress their wrongs
in a way not pointed out by Ibo laws, any
other men, any man, may redress their
or his wrongs, real or imaginary, at any
time and in any manner.
Every breach of law and of private
right, if countenanced, operates as a li
cense for the subversion of all law and all
rights, social, civil and religious.
Tho timo of tho Falls Indians la but
abort at longest, and if they can bo borne
with for the time being, whether they have
rightful claims at tbe Falls or not, it is
better lo -lo so. If the Indians residing in
Linn City had no rights there, and tb!r
residence among the whites hsd become
insufferable, it would havo been far bet
ter if the citizenr had been called together,
satisfied themselves that tho Indians had
no rights there, and communicated the re
sult and grounds of their deliberations to
tbe Indians, andacted throughout openly
and unitedly.

A party, coosiiting of Messrs. Lancas
ter, Lee, Wair, Stewart, Hedges, Wad-
lelgh, and ourself, left this city on the Slst
ultimo for the exploration of the Clascanl
river, and returned on tlie 7th Inst. The
Clascsni river empties into tho Columbia
between Oak Point and Hunt's mill, from
the south. lis broad valley is readily dls-
tinguishablc from Osk Point, and for some
distance downward. The Clascsni is ef
fected by tho tide for about twelve miles;
above tide-water, the water of tbe river is
v ery clear and contains trout. At this dry
time the river contains sufficient wster to
carry a saw.mlll, and dams may be easily
erected from the head of tide-water up as
far as the river has been explored. The
party explored the valley for about five
miles above the head of tldc-watc. and
found the valley broad, generally lovef,
the soil extremely rich, and covered with
a dense growth of limber, composed prin.
clpslly of fir, cedar and cherry. We havo
never seen timber which equalled It, or
richer soil.
Tho valley of the Clascsni sppesrs to
strike on in the direction of the Tualatin
Plains, expanding as it rcccdcj from the
highlsnds bordering tho Columbia bottom,
and wo wero unablo to discover any im.
pediment to the course of tho river direct
to the plains. Il is the opinion of ths par-
ty that thero is prairie land in tbe upper
portion of the Clsscank valley perhaps
much.
Tho Indisns rtOak Point say that thsre
Is a " water fallr" much timber and, much
prairie on the Clacanl. This wss tho In.
formation possessed by tho part' before
setting out upon tho exploration, as deri
ved from Mr. Charles McKay of the plains,
through his Indisns.
The business engagements of somo of
the party rendered it necessary that they
should be back as soon as Monday last,
and as one day was spent in exploring an.
other river, uniting with the Clascsni, com
Ing In from tbe left, the timo of the party
did not permit a thorough exploration of
the Clascanl.
If the appearances of tho Clascanl val
ley are not entirely deceptive, then tho
citizens of the Tualatin plains may find
an easy outlet for their produce, Into iho
Columbia, far down towards tho ocean.
Tho further exploration of the Clascanl Is
certainly worthy of the attention of the
citizens of the plains. Tho river above
referred to aa uniting with the Cbwoenl
contains coneldmUo water, although not
aa much, at this time, aa would be desira
bla for successful milling operations, and
the timber is good, y at not equal to that of
the Clascanl. The country along tho Co
lumbia river ia broken, but less rugged,
and susceptible of easier Improvement than
we had anticipated. We have now!
sein a river better suited to steam
teaTI
navigation than the majrstlo Columbia
03T The following, which we slip from
tho"Po!vnesian" of the JMlb'June, so-
counts for the appearance olhe Hono
lulu" lo Oregon at this liim. If all our
neighbors upon the Pacific will devote
their time to cold digging, the citizens of
Oregon will be able to obtain their aliaro
of the spoils by obtaining a remunerative
price for their 'flour, peas, oats, potatoes,
butter, cheese, fish and lumber.
All that is required to make gold abun.
dant in Oregon, is a fair inarket for the
products of her soil.

borers Could not be procured at any price.
Ten and fifteen dollars per day were of.
fered and refused. Shovels, spades, pick.

manded enormous prices. Many unable
to procure these were digging with knives,
sticks and their finger nails. Enormous
prices were offered lor provisions deliver

men and children ware on the ground and
crowds ware still (took log up. The mine
is some way above Sutter a Fort, about 1 90
miles from San Francisco. Its extent was
unknown, but it was believed to be im

were camped out, and the mines being in
the fever-and.ague country, many of them
are doubtless by this time shsklnc oft" what

foretell the fine! effect of these discoveries
in California. It is doubtful if there be
