On the 20th of November the Governor appointed Columbia Lancaster to be Supreme Judge of Oregon Territory, in place of J. Quinn Thornton, resigned. From some proceedings of the legislature of a subsequent period, we infer that Judge Thornton had left Oregon on a visit to Washington City, as a sort of general agent, to attend to the distribution of offices in the new territory. Of his arrival we have not heard, and it is probable that Mr. Meek may reach Washington before him. [Then follows proceedings of legislature, resolutions, etc., intended to keep J. Q. T. from leaving the territory, quoted in full. Also Governor's message, expressing the disappointment at the failure of Congress to extend jurisdiction over that country, etc.] * * * * * _Republican_, July 26, 1848. ARRIVAL OF MR. KIT CARSON FROM CALIFORNIA. Information has been received by Gov. Mason in California of the difficulties between the Oregon settlers and Indians, but it does not appear to come down to a later date than that which we have received from Oregon direct. * * * * * _Republican_, August 2, 1848. LATE FROM OREGON. [General account of defense of Oregon regiment against Indians; death of Col. Gilliam, etc.] NOTE--A CORRECTION. The name "L. H. Ponjade" occurring on pages 268 and 269 of the September number of THE QUARTERLY should be L. H. Poujade. INDEX INDEX TO VOL. IV. Abbott, Captain, 237. Abbott, L. G., 365. Abrams, W. P., 60.
