Gen. Wool and the Oregon War.
The San Ftancisco Herald, of March 4th, has an
article in reference to the memorial sent by the
Legislature of Oregon to the President of the Uni
ted States, asking the removal of Gen. Wool from
the command of the Department of the Pacific, in
which it says:
The memorial is filled with false charges the
object being to deceive and divert public attention
from one ot the boldest schemes ever concocted to
plunder the treasury of the United States, not of a
few hundred thousand dollars, but of several mil
lions. The Legislature charges the General with
inactivity; that he left the inhabitants of Oregon
exposed to the ravages of the Indians: and that
he refused to send the forces under his command to
protect the people in Northern Oregon. These
charges are, in every particular, false, there has
been no war in Oregon except in the Rogue river
country In n° other part of the Territory have
the inhabitants been exposed or attacked bv the
Indians. If the volunteers were required at all for
the defence of the inhabitants of Oregon, it was in
I the valley of the Rogue river, and no where else.
Gov. Curry, however, instead of sending all his
troops to suppress Indian hostilities in that region,
at an enormous expense commenced a| crusade
against the Indians occupying the territory of
Washington east of the Cascade Mountains. He
j not only went beyond his own jurisdiction,,but
made war on the Walla Wallas, from which the
Oregonians had no danger whatever to apprehend.
His sending a regiment against the tribe was whol
ly uncalled for anil under no circumstances can be
justified. The result of his measures has only con
tributed to complicate our difficulties with the
Indians, whilst it has added several tribes to those
who commenced the war. Had he sent this regi
ment, to Southern Oregon there might have been
j some excuse for his immense outlay in equipping
volunteers against the Washington‘lndians, which
1 he and his Legislature are determined shall he d< -
frayed by the United States.
It is this attempt to impose on the United States
that Gen. Wool lias condemned as unjust and
wholly uncalled for. Hence it is that the Legisla
| "ire assails him with false charges, and demands
his removal from tlie command of the Department
: of the Pacific.
It is but due to Gen. Wool to say, that as soon
as he heard of the defeat of Major Haller, he sent
a company to re-inforce each of the posts of Fori 1
Lane, Fort Yancouver and Steilacoom, and at the
same time applied to the Government for at least a
regiment. The regiment arrived early in January, |
and passed on to Vancouver and Steilacoom, eight |
1 companies to the former and two to the latter.
The winter has been very severe in the North, so
! much so lhat it has been impossible to operate in
the Indian country East of the Cascades. Tin
volunteers at \\ alia Walla lost all their horses for
1 the want of forage or grass. The General will ;
prosecute the campaign against the Indians as j
j soon as practicable, and we doubt not with com
! plete success.

Something tor Southern Merchants.
It is known to most of our mercantile friends,
that the merchants of Cincinnati, have of late, j
been making great exertions to secure Southern
trade, and they have sueeeded toa considerable
■ degree in their efforts. It is also known that Cin- j
cinnati has lately been the theatre of resistance i
to the law of the land, respecting the return of fu- i
gitives, and that but a few weeks ago a case of un- i
usual excitement occurred there. It seems that j
one Air. Jolift’e, an attorney of that city, has made !
himself conspicuous in volunteering for the do- j
fence of runaway negroes, and that about the Ist j
ult., a committee, in behalf of certain citizens, j
made him a present of “purse and contents,” as a j
token ot their high appreciation of liis gorgeous j
services. Accompanying the purse was an ad- :
dress, which found its way into the columns of tin* |
Cincinnati Gazette, and now lies before us. This
address is a furious tirade against the institutions
of the South in general, and the fugitive slave law :
in particular. The latter, it pronounces “to be in
violation of the Constitution of the country, as
well as humanity,” and that in its operation “vie- ;
lence is done to every sense of public justice, as j
well as to the claims of philanthropy and the sympa
thies of our common humanity.” It then expati
ates upon the recent case decided in that city— j
sirs that “the great conflict between freedom and
slavery must sooner or later come to a crisis,” that j
“there is no neutral ground,” and that Abolition
ism will finally triumph. We have given enough !
to show that the character of the address
is Abolitionism of the most radical sort. The ■
signers of this interesting document are D. Ander- 1
son, Geo. L. Weed, S. C. Foster, James B. Ramsay, j
and S. Straight.
Some person in Cincinnati takes the trouble to j
enclose a marked copy of tlie paper describing the -
presentation, to one of our large business houses j
in Commerce street, who, it appears, were dealing j
with a house in Cincinnati, in which one of the j
signers to the address was principal. Our friends
to make the thing sure, at once wrote to the firm, j
stated what had been received here, and inquired if 1
the name signed to the address was the name of a
member of that firm. Yesterday a long reply
came, written by the senior of the house, which is
now before us.
The letter expresses surprise at the communica
tion from Mobile, is very indignant that anybody
in Cincinnati should have been mean enough li>
send that paper to his Southern customers, admits !
distinctly that he did act on the Jolifle Committee,
and did sign the address, and proposes to argue l
or explain the reason why, if desired. Our Com
merce, street friends replied immediately that they
had no disposition to argue the question, that his :
admission of the fact was quite sufficient, and that
they therewith remitted what was due, and desired |
to close their dealings with the house of Straight,
Deming & Co., of Cincinnati.
We think this was the proper course. If North
ern men will go out of their way to vilify the South
and obstruct Hie recovery of her fugitive property, i
Southern men ought certainly to decline contribu
ting to their means to do us harm, parik ulurli .
when there are linns in all the important markets
who are ft iendly to the South, or at least will not .
interfere with any of our t ights. Will our mer
chants think more of this ?
Richard Henrt AVildk. —The correspondent ol
the Newark J tally Advertiser, writing from Rome !
on the :3"th of January last, alludes, in the follow
ing complimentary manner to the labors of two i
distinguished Americans, Mr. Greenough, the |
sculptor, and Mr. Wilde, of whom Georgia has l
reason to be proud. The extract will no doubt be
read with pleasure.
The last number of the “Arcliivio Storico Italia
no, an invaluable serial publication of the nature
of vour Historical Society” periodical, honorably
recalls the labors of Horace Greenough, the pio
neer of American sculptors in Italy, who has thus
found a titling memorial in the most authentic re- ,
cords of the History of Modern Italy. His friends :
and countrymen could desire nothing more com
plimentary than his appreciative memoir, which
mentions with just pride that he bore the title of
“honorary professor of the Florentine Academy of j
the Beautiful Arts.”
In the same publication I find also a brief me
moir of our lamented countryman, Richard Henry
Wilde, the statesmen, scholar and jurist, known in
our political history as the eloquent representative .
of Georgia in Congress; in our literature, as the j
author’of the charming lyric, “My Life is like a
Summer Rose,” and a work on the “Madness and
Imprisonment of Torquato Tasso,” and in our ju
risprudence as the law professor of the University
of New Orleans, where he was cut oft in 1547, by
1 yellow fever, at the age of fifty-five. It appears by
I this memoir that Mr. Wilde had made rare collet-- j
lions during his long sojourn in Italy, for a learned j
illustrative work on the life and times of Dante,
which the writer hopes will pass into hands capa- !
ble of perfecting bis original intention. A series
of interesting letters, running from ltv>4 to 1837, j
from Charles Botta, the elegant Italian historian of
. the American Revolution, to George Washington
Greene the grandson of one of its chiefs), who j
tilled the office of United States Consul at Rome
some years, is also preserved in this collection of
historical papers. .
The American citizens thus honored in these ]
“Archives,” are fondly recognized as Italofili Anier
' Irani.
An Abolitionist Filtered- Notice to Leave.—
We alluded yesterday to the Jim Crow movement
of Mr. Kedzie, of this city, who is travelling in the
South with his rainwater filters, and writing let- -
ters on slaverv. He is, and always lias been, a
rampant Abolitionist of the most impracticable
sort, and his first letters were in accordance with
his’well known opinions. His last, however,'
shows that he has thrown a complete somerset aud
landed flat upon the pro-slavery platform. We did
i not believe tiiat lie was sincere in what he wrote, !
and intimated as much. It now appears tiiat he
pad been at Charleston, and had left under advice of
j citizens, who did not approve of his Abolition sen
i timents. This explains the whole matter. .Mr. KcJ
zie was filtered out of Charleston, and went as far
North as Portsmouth, Ya., where he wrote the let
j ter taking back what he had formerly written and
pronouncing himself sound on the slaverv ques
tion. He sent to the Advertiser a. list of names of
gentlemen at the South to whom he desired to have
papers containing his last letter forwarded, in order
that they might understand Ids position and buy
| his filters, or permit him to sell them. ;
We do not believe “ the bait will cover the
hook.” Mr. Kedzie had better stay at homo, and
let an agent who can attend to his filter business
i go South, and attend to it exclusively.
The filers are an excellent article, we believe,
but would have been far more popular in other
hands than thoso of Mr. K. While he was selling
filters last summer to nearly all the liquor dealers
of the city, he was acting as a spy, and a witness
or complainant for the infamous Carson League.
He earth play so bold as that at the South —the
j slaveholders are not so forbearing as the liquor
j dealers, hence the last letter. —FocltesUr Union.
From the Louisville Journal,
Home Again.
j H is a mournful thing to have no home
1 0 wear a shroud of loneliness on earth,
i To know that fate has forced thee forth to roam
i And fear thyself unwelcome by each hearth •
;To hear harsh, stranger voices and to raise ’
j A drooping lid and meet a loveless gaze!
Dnce, long ago, the lightning’s quivering glare,
Lit the strange sadness of a boyish brow,
And faded from bright waves of curling hair
As quick as hope fades from mv spirit now !
While the sad wind, with many a fond caress,
Sighed for a kindred wanderer’s loneliness.
Weary and wretched he had sunk to sleep
’Ere sunset’s crimson loveliness was gone;
The twilight came and passed -night’s gloom
grew deep,
In the damp forest —still be slumbered on,
And oh! how strange! that friendless mourner
smiled
As calmly as a cradled, thoughtless child.
Ah ! niem’rv bore him to his home ; he heard
The murmured music of hischildish hours;
; He saw familiar trees and each bright bird
Whose sweet song gushed at spring time 'mid
the flowers;
His sister smiled, his Mother's thrilling kiss
Flushed his pale cheek with more.than former bliss.
He woke while listening for the words of love.
And heard the passing night wind’s deep tarc
well!
lie saw the trees around, the clouds above,
And murmured, starting from that blessed spell.
“ Oil, God! the loved are gone—my dream is o’er;
This is a forest —I’ve a home no more!”
World-wanderer, thou art iu a forest, too !
Oh! dream and smile as did that lonely bov
There is a home for thee; the loved, the true
Await thee there amid unfading jov;
Weary and sad thou too shall fall asleep-
The shades around thee will he dim and deep!
Angels shall bear thee to thy home and thou
Wilt wake amid the light of early years ;
Thy mother’s tear kiss shall thrill'thy brow
And still the quivering of earth’s lingering
fears ;
Remembered voices, with an added strain
' Os trembling love, will whisper, Home Again !
Later from Oregon. The San Francisco Herald,
\ of the sth ins-t gives the following summary of the
latest news from Oregon :
The Indians have committed serious depreda
tions at the mouth of ffogue river. On the 23d of
February a descent was made upon the farmers
about four miles above the mouth of the river, by the
! savages, led by a Canadian Indian named Enos, and
! a general massacre took place. About twenty-four
persons were killed. Among the killed is Captain
lieu Wright, Sub-Indian Agent. The inhabitants
i of Crescent City are taking measures to fortify the
town, in anticipation of an attack, and some of
them have arrived in flight to this city. A Mrs.
Geisell and daughterwere taken prisoners at Rogue
fiver and are yet in the hands of the Indians. The
fort or block-house erected by the settlers at the
mouth of Rogue river is still in the hands of the
whites; they have about twelve days’ provisions.
On Puget Sound a bat tle has been fought between
a party of friendly Indians headed by Pat Cainon,
a friendly chief, and the warriors of the Clicketat
tribe; a large number of the latter were slain.
Later from Costa Rica.— The Panama Star, of
the 1 Sth inst., received this morning, has the fol
lowing :
Later advices from Costa Rica inform us that it
is expected Walker and his party will invade the
territory and seize Punta Arenas, which he has
threatened to sack and destroy. The Government
had sent four hundred troops to defend the place,
and were determined, in every way, to resist this
unprovoked and piratical attempt to invade the
Republic. Whatever excuse Walker might have •
for his interference in Nicaragua, he has certainly
none for invading Costa Rica, which country is
peacefully progressing under its present liberal and
enlightened administration.
We certainly think that the presence of a British
and French man-of-war is necessary at Punta Are
nas to protect foreign property, and that an Arner
can vessel of war could not be better employed on
this coast than in preventing Walker and his party
from invading a country with which the United
States is at peace.
The Magnificent Cooper Gift.—The N. Y.
Sun, of Tuesday, says:
Mr. Peter Cooper, it is known, has been engaged,
for the last two or three years, in the erection of
an extensive and beautiful edifice, opposite the
Stuyvesant Park, near the junction of Bowery and
Third avenue. He gave notice, yesterday, of an
application to the Legislature for an act of incor
poration, authorizing him to convey to a Board of
Control, “such property, real and personal, us
may he necessary for founding and maintaining in
New York an institution to be denominated the
Union for the Advancement of Science and Art.”
The building, including the site, cost not less
than half a million of dollars, and the intention of •
Mr. Cooper, it is said, is to endow it as a Universe ■
tv, and make it a present to the city of New York.
It will he one of the most valuable and no
ble gifts ever made to the public by an individ
ual, and he a source of benefit to the city, as it will
confer unfailing honor upon tiie noble donor.
The Suith Carolina College. -Judge J. B.
O’Nkali., in a letter to the editor of the Southern
Fnterprise, of the 13th March says, in referring to •
the South Carolina College :
“I graduated in the College forty-three yearsh ago j
last December. I have been a Trustee for thirty
seven years. I fctioir that I have watched over its
interests with all the eare of a deep and abiding
love; and yet, I lenow that of nit the students grad
uating from I,soli to lsis, forty-nine years, one
fourth of the whole number have died drunkards,
or are now drunkards a shame to themselves, and
a burden to their families.”
Fkai delent Issue of Stock. Much excitement
was caused on the evening before the last, by the
rumors of some defalcation in the State Bank, and
tins was increased by the arrest and commitment
of J. L. Egleston, the Transfer Clerk. There were
conflicting accounts, and much uncertainty about
tiie matter, but we have been able to learn that, in
consequence of the unusually small amount of un
claimed dividends, one of the gentlemen in the
office was induced to suspect that all was not right,
and mentioning his suspicions to the President,
the books were carefully examined on Sunday, and
facts elicited, which, it was thought, were sufficient
to justify the proceeding. In what manner the
fraudulent, issues of stock were made, is not known
with certainty. In some instances; when certifi
cates are left, endorsed for transfer, it is supposed
tiiev were sold, and the panics indicated were sup
plied, at tiie further convenience of the clerk, ei
ther with other stock endorsed in blank for trans
fer, or with such new certificates as could be had,
having the signature of the President. Il is be
lieved, however, that the over issue does not ex
ceed $34,000, and about $2,000 of the money so
realized has been recovered from a party to whom
it had been issued, and who confessed to the re
ceipt of very large sums of money for a year or
two past. A considerable portion of this sum will
be covered by the bonds of the defaulter. Mr.
Egleston was a trusted and most efficient officer of
that institution. — Charleston Standard, April 2.
llow Mr. Fillmore Responded after uts Initia
tion. -The Albany (New York; hWnitty Journal,
says that the ex-President was initiated into the i
Know Nothing Order in his private library, and it !
was so stated at the time. The Journal adds: ;
“ The brother who conferred the degrees and jin- j
posed the obligations in Mr. F.’s library, concluded j
the ceremony by saying, ‘This will make von j
President of the United Statesto which Mr. \
Fillmore responded, ‘ 1 sincerely hope so.’”
Exchange.
This will doubtless be incorporated into thecer
i emonies of Know Nothings in initiating new
members. The new made lanterriite will be as
i sttred, “This will make you constable, policeman,
I citv attorney, sheriff, or associate justice,” as the
case maybe. The Know Nothing will reply, “ I
sincerely hope so.”— X. 0. Courier.
A Story Finished. —Some years ago a Cincinnati
paper received and printed the first chapter of
what promised to he a thrilling romance, with the
' expectation of being provided with the concluding
I portions as might be needed. The chapter was
very ingeniously written, and concluded by leaving
: tho principal character suspended by the panta
loons from the limb of a tree over a perpendicular
precipice. It attracted the attention of the press,
and inquiries were about to bo made concerning
the continuation of the story and the fate of the
hero. Day after day the victimized publishers
looked for the remaining chapters, but in vain; they
never came to hand. Finding that they had been
sold, and wishing to put a stop to the jokes their
contemporaries were cracking at their expense,
thev briefly concluded ihe store thus :
Chapter ll. — Conclusion. After hanging to the
treacherous tree for four weeks, his pantaloons
! gave way, and Charles Melville rolled headlong
over the yawning precipice. He fell a distance of
five miles, and came down with the small of his
back across a stake, which so jarred him that he
was compelled to travel in Italy for his health,
where he is at present residing. He is engaged
| in the butchering business, and is the father of a
; large family of children !
The San Francisco Herald of the sth inst., says :
The steamer Columbia will sail in a few days
with troops, under Major Gen. John E. Wool, for
for Vancouver and the Rogue River country. In
these localities the Indians are very troublesome.
| Old Hat. —The Eastern (Me.) Argus tells about
; one of its subscribers calling at the office wearing
! a hat which he had worn for the last forty years
| Os course he did not wear it every day, but kept it
