Impru- | dently, instead of going to te owner and satisfying him i for his property, he made a joke of the occurrence, and took po pave toconceal the act. This gave rise to a charge of hog-steuling against the person referred to, | and subsequently an altercation between himself and a neighbor, which well nigh terminated fatally to one of the parties, The odium incurred by these transactions soon grew in the neighborhood into a general dislike of the offender; and astiong party of meu at length assem- bled for the purpose of lynching him, and expelling him from the neighborhood. They went to Mr. Duncan’s house and demanded the person alluded to. The de id was reiused, on the ground that the party possessed no legal authority to make the arrest; and Mr. D. as- sured them that the first. person who attempted, under | the circumstances, to enter his door, would be shot down. This parley gave time to the perspn sought for | to make his excape, which opportunity he embraced.— | Growing furious at length, the mob succeeded in enter- ing the house, and not finding the object of their search, caught Mr. D,, tied him, and inflicted a most dreadful | chastisement on his person. They then tied him ona | and took him befor ice of Peace at Collins- le, who finding ne cause to detain him, ordered him to be set at liberty. For this outrageous act, Duncan now sued out peace warrants against the whole number of lynchers, and f the patty were arrested. As the result of this | a neighborhood meeting was held, and resolu- tions were pasted \o the effect that the prosecutor should leave the neighborhood ata stipulated period. A com- mittee of five was appointed to make known to Duncan these resolutions, a task which they fulfilled.

At this crisis, | son by the name of Bailey, raised a pistol, as if to perceiving which, Duncan discharged one barrel of his shot gun, the ball’of which took effect in Bailey’s right side,and,as is suppored,mertally wounded him.The woman fired a pistol and snapped another, but without serious effect. Im- mediately the rioi fired some fifty shots, and Duncan fell dead with eleven balis through him. The woman at | this juocture sprang from the buggy, and ran towards | the timber, which she succeedéd in reaching after being Pierced by four balls; the cowardly scoundrels firing on | eras she ran.

Mr. Benton laid upon the table the map of Oregon,re- He presented the letter re- lative to the harbor survey at the mouth of the Columbia | Fiver, which was referred to the Committee on printing ANMY APPROPRIATION. Mr. Benron, from Committee of reference on the army appropriation bill, reported they had met the committee of the House, and were unable to sgree.

THE SUB TREASURY BILL—THE ERRORS OF THE UNION. ‘The sub treasury bill was next taken up. | Mr. Weaster corrected the error in the editorial co” lumn of the Union of last night, relative tothe new Tariff bill and false invoices, which stated that the value of goods was to be determined by value in New York, Bos- ton, &c , and not by invoice. A more enormous error bad never beencommitted. The truth is exactly the reverse} the value was to be determined at the place where the goods were imported. More care should be observed by persons making such statements. Mr. Wensren then discussed the Sub-Treasury system and pointed out the evil consequences which he said would result if that measure should go into operation. ‘The debate was continued by Messrs. Niles, Speight and Calhoun, in favor of the bill, and by Messrs. Evaar, Simmons, M Iler and Crittenden, against it, The bill was then read the third time, and passed. Yras—Allen, Ashley, Achivon.

Mr. Horxtns in the Chair, and resumed the considera- tion of said bill. Mr. Cuarman of Md. addressed the committee for an hour against the bill, and against the tariff act. Mr. MeCuxtianp of Michegan spoke in favor of, and explained the bill and its bearings. | Amendments were now offered and considered. | Mr. McCuxan of Pennsylvania proposed to amend, by | ree, Phelps, Sim- 2. imposing certain specific duties on iron and coal.

Wasuinoton, July 31, 1846. | Nomination of Mr. Buchanan to a Judgeship— | \. Opposition— Warehouse Bill—Mr Whitney’s pro. ject fora Parific Ruilroad—Mr. Houston—Mr. Webster— Mexican Affairs—Conditions on which the President will treat. The rumor of Mr. Buchanan’s resignation and nomination to a judgeship, has, since I first men- tioned it, gained shape and character. It is now | confidently asserted that his nomination goes in | on Tuesday next. What caused me to doubt its | truth at first, and what makes me still hesitate to endorse the rumor is the fact, that there isknown to be an organized opposition to his appointment. The whigs smasting under the abrogation of the | tari bill of 1542, are de‘ermined, at least some of them, to oppose the appointinent. It is known that Mr. Webster will not op; him; vut itis said, although 1 do not believe it, that those me bers of the Senate who claimed the whole of Ore- gon, will oppose him. 1 am contident that those geniemen will be swayed by higher motives in voting for a judge of the Supreme Cour, than mere pique. Should there be a chance of re- jection, Mr. Buchanan will not allow his name to go before the Senate. 5 ‘ he warehouse biil was under discussion to- day in the House, and the sub-treasury bill was up in the Senate. Mr, Whitney’s project for con- structing a railroad to thePacific was broght ap by the chairman of the Committee on Publhe Lands, Mr. Breese, on a motion to print the memori avd repost of the committee. The pyoj ct was fiercely assailed by Mr. Benton, wap ied it the most impudent atiempt ever impose on the Senate, and said a greatmany other hard things of it. Mr. Houston made a’ good speech jon the Texas navy question; anc Mr. Evans | made one of his powerful practical speeches in opposition to the sub-treasury bill. Mr. Webster is to close the debate on this question to-monow, after which the vote will be taken. There 18 no doubt of the passage of the bill. There is no other measure of any Hog itch oni demanding the attention of Congress, besides those I have mentioned. F The government is actively engaged in making every preparation for the prosecution ef the Mex- ican'war. The only condition of peace that can now be at all entertained by our government, is the cession of California. It is but just, that the citizens who hdve suffered taxation and grievous loss at the hands of the Mexicans, should be full, indemnified for the outrages they have sustained. England cannot possibly move in the matter, ex- cept to teuder the advice tothe Mexicans to sue for peace. GaLvIENsIs. Wasuinoron, July 31, 1846.
