We have pretty good ctidcnrc that the
11 raluy season " hie commenced ; for the
past week there hao been frequent anil
copious show era of raiq. This, it ii said,
it about ooo month earlier than usual.
The lint showers begun, about the first or
October, though Tor the beginning ten

the streams; but answered a good purpose
by laying the dust. Hut the rain that has
fillrn sinco last Thursday, has made con
siderable Impression upon the titer at this
'place. The water has been craduallv

day or two we see fresh arrivals of com
panies, tha most of which are not very
large. Expediency wrought many divis

impossible to get along with any thing
like convenience where companies consist

them to split up and divide out into .mail

that a perron could engage in that would

readers. I havo perused the columns of
the Spectator faithfully, hoping to find an
expression of opinion in relation to tho pe.
culiar state of things as they now eslst In
this Territory. 'I hat this Is a law ahi
ding and peace loving colony, lhe.ro i in
be uoiuestlon. That Congress, aflergiv.
Ing us a political existence, has left us to
manage our own aiTalrs aa liesl we could,
is equally true, Hut the point that I am
particularly interested about, Is contained
In tho first suction of the organic act. Af
tor describing thn boundaries and naming
tho Territory, it says- "Provided, that
nothing in mis aci coiiiaincu necnnsirueu
to Impair the rights nf persnusnr property
liow iiertainini! to tho Indians in said
Territory, sn long as audi rights shall re
