The troops are to be concentrated at Vancouver, to be there on the arrival of Gen. llarney, who would make anew distribution of them. Lvt t. Millax. — Lieut. Mullaa will go to Washington Una winter, where he will make oat his report of the Indian campaign, and where he goes also for further orders relative to the construction of a wagon road from Fort Walla Walla to Fort Benton. He leaves his other assistant, Louis Mullen, here in charge of his expedition property and the transaction of business relative to the surrey. In all probability he will resume operations in early spring. — Oreffonian. Military Ixsfection. — Col. Mansfield, Inrpector General of the U. S. army, arrived at the Dalles from Fort Simcoe last week, having finished a tour of inspection to Forts Walla Walla and Simcoe and finally Fort Dalles. The Colonel will now proceed to Vancouver, via the Cascades, where he will inspect the forces under Gen. Harney. Col. Mansfield's visit through this country will no doubt benefit Oregon and Washington territories materially, as he intends to make many suggestions to the Department in reference to matters of the territories, and more especially the advantages the upper country has, as regards railroad practicability. — Ongoniam ZOth ult. Gzx. llakxey. — Gen. Hamey had arrived at Vancouver. The Ortgonian says : We have not yet been able to learn whether Gen. Harney will make a winter campaign or sou Col. Wright, Col. Mansfield, and other officers of the C. 8. army have been ordered to report to General Hamey, at Vancouver, where a council of war will be held. 1 mii ass Executed. — A Dalles correspondent of the Portland Standard, writing under date of the 24th ult., says : Subsequent to the killing of Michel, of which you were advised, two of his associates in crime were apprehended by some friendly Indians and delivered up to the commanding officer at Fort Simcoe, Capt. Archer, 9th Infantry, by whose order they were promptly executed. To-day, the fourth one of these mnrderers was brought in to this place, dead, by the chief, Mah-nigh-nak, who had undertaken to apprehend and deliver >■'"■ up to the commanding officer here, but which the culprit avoided by the act of suicide, on finding his apprehension otherwise inevitable. From all accounts, four Indians were concerned directly with Michel in the murder of Bolon. They as well as Michel, have all perished. The Dau.es. — A strong endeavor will be made here next spring to revive a rush to Fraser river. The town is now densely crowded with strangers, so much so that very often travelers have to make their beds upon terra firma. We have three hotels here, all crowded. The Vmatilla house, the most fashionable house here, is conducted in a most stylish manner by our worthy friend, P. E. Graves, who endeavors to render all comfortable. He well merits the patronage of all. — Ortgonian. Fobt Colytllz. — A man whose name we have been unable to learn, arrived at the Dalles a few days ago from the Colville mines, W. T., and brings the news thai the TndiMia in that region are very troublesome, in fact so much so that all the miners were leaving. This man brought down with him $6,000 in dust, the product of his own laber in a few months in that rt-pion. — Stattdard. Walls. Walla, kot orxx to Settlxbs. — A correspondent of the Ongonian writing from the Dalles, Oct. 26th, says : A panic has recently occurred here among a large number of persons who were about to remove to and settle in the Walla Walla, owing to an order recently if sued by Major Grier, now commanding at Fort Walla Walla, forbidding any more settlers to come into the valley. The order not only affects those intending to settle, but also persons who are unemployed in the valley, who shall leave after a given notice. Previous to the proclamation of Major Grier, many were making arrangments to move their families to the upper country, but now will have to wait until the country shall be open for settlement, which will, in all probability be at an early day after the meeting of Congress. This will no doubt cause a great depreciation in business, which has been carried on to a considerable extent in the valley during the past cummer, and which bid fair for the coming winter. Goods have been for the past four months and are now constantly being shipped to Walla Walla, to a considerable amount. New Steamer. — The steamer Carrie Ladd, built at Oregon City, by Capt. J. C. Ainsworth and associates, was towed down by the Jennie Clark, on Thursday, and now lays at the wharf ready to receive her machinery. — Ortjonian. Stkak auot« m Dalle*. — On Sunday morning was launched, at the mouth of the Dcs Chutes river, a handsome little steamer, built by Thomson Jc Co., called the Colonel Wright. The Colonel Wright will run between the Dcs Chute* and old Fort Walla Walla, making about two trips per week. Thus we may have • direct steam communication from the Dalles to Fort Walla Walla.— lbid. Victoria. We have dates from Victoria to the 22d ult. The news from Victoria is very barren and unsatisfactory. The Gazette announces that the new* tram the digging, it " encouraging," but there are do particulars to sustain the general assertion. MiM>o ox the Um-eb Fbasbb-— A correspondent of the Gasette, writing from Port Anson. says: As I have stated, the recent accounts from the mines are highly encouraging. 'I can state with the same positive certainty as if I had seen it with my own eyes, that men are for the last week, realizing well, and that large amounts of gold will be taken out this winter. I have within the last hour talked with various parties belonging to the trail, who haTe already been forward to the dißgings, and they report the miners as making from four dollars to an ounce per day ; that there are extensive bars that will pay on as avenge $10 to the hand daily, and U b on account of the good prospects ahead that so many, who a short time since thought of returning, now intend to go on, and that the men now here are all so reluctant to go back to Port Douglas. But two weeks ago, men were flocking over this trail on their way back ; now, not one of this class is to be teen. [Perhaps, no more are left !] Anothi correspondent, writing from Summit Lake, on the new trail, aayi : ' • - For the past two weeks, we have been more or less discouraged by meeting with varioui parties of returned adventurers from Fraser river, none of whom gave very bright prospects '

in that quarter, although their accounts varied materially. It was melancholy but interesting to note the barometer of feeling as it rose and fell according to the varied reports of these men. It must be confessed that tickets were greatly below par, although most of us agreed in putting it through, let the result be as it might. I am happy to say that the latest news from the river is more favorable than previous accounts, but the time seems long ere we can commence operations on our own hook. We have yet several store houses to build, and under the most favorable circumstances it will take a good while to bring up the supplies. - Tub T«An..— C. B. Young, agent of the Government, has ordered the men at work on the Lillooet trail to leave it, or find their own paovisions hereafter. The Fort Anderson correspondent of the Gazette writes ; I arrived at this place (head of Anderson's Lake) this evening, (Oct. 13), and found the miners stationed here, to the number of one hundred, in a state of no little excitement, in consequence of news just received' from i^prt Douglas, to the effect that adl jhe men employed on the trail have been ordered to return immediately to Port Douglas for settlement — Mr. C. B. Young, claiming to act as agent for the government, being of opinion that the lateness of the season will prevent anything favorable being done on Fraser river for the presentIt appears that this individual arrived at Port Douglas on the 9th inst., and at once wrote to the governor recommending that the steamer Otter be sent to Fort Langley for the purpose of taking such of the road party to Victoria as wished to return, they having the $25 pledge to the government refunded them, and their passage paid. Those disposed to go on to Fraser river are to receive their $25 worth of provision! in Port Douglas at Victoria prices, as stipulated, together with a pecuniary consideration to aid in the transportation at the rate of $100 per ton. It appears that the miners at Port Douglas were unwilling to accede to this proposition, and concluded to send a deputation to Victoria to represent their wishes to the Governor. Those located here on learning of the proposed arrangement were highly indignant, and although the) -tart to-morrow morning in a body to go to l'c* Douglas, as directed, they do so, more with a view to protest against this proceeding, and because they are without provision! here, that, fr.m any desire to comply wit what they consider an unjust and illiberal mode of settlement. Fkasek Rising Again-. — The steamer Otter, Capt. Mouatt, arrived night before last from Fort Langley. She brought down 40 passengers. The continued rains had caused a rise in the river of three feet at Fort Hope, and some snow had fallen on the mountains. The news from the upper Fraser is very encouraging, while the miners about Forts Hope and Yale were doing well.— Gazelta 20th ult. Is the Prases. Thade.— The steamer Otter, Capt. Mouatt, is advertised to sail for Fort Langley on Monday, and freight is reduced to the very reasonable rate of §12 per ton. The little steamer Leviathan, we understand, is also about engaging in the trade, as well as several sailing vessels. This new impetus to business must materially reduce the price of freight to Fort Hope, although there being no other steamen'running between Fort Langley and Fort Hope than the Enterprise and Maria the rate may still continue too high. The Enterprise, we hear, will make but one more trip to Fort Langley, and then confine herself to the river. — Gazette IZd tiU.
