The harbor was placed in n innet eucl

batteries on each side of a channel twain-e,
300 fathoms in width, and to mount them, 1
guns had been lnndui from the Russiani
Mgates, Diana and Auroru,‘both of whichl
ships were in the harbor, moored head mull
stern, stripped to their letter masts, und'
entirely out oftlm line of tire. i
After deciding upon the mode of attack, i
the “Pique" was placed in low of the \'i-'
rnfio, and had the honor of opening the
ball. The ”President" followed, with the
"Forte," “Erudice” and Obligailo, bringing
up the rear. As the President was draw
ing up within range of one of the heaviest
' batteries, Admiral Price remarked to un
Felice! at his side, that he had forgotten
'his piatoll, and immediately descended to
his cabin to procurc‘them. He had scarce

when ashot was heard below, and upon
entering hie cabin, be war found dead, with

could put hie closed hand.

We are authorized. by ('ol. Anderson“
Mnralml of the Territory, to state, thntl
' he has never mmle any euluplniut, at any;
‘ department, relative to the course pursued;
‘ by any of our federal omcers, or (-nd‘enrory
l ed, in any way, or sought. to interfere with‘
’ them, in the discharge of their duties. Col:
' Anderson is n dcmoernt by birth. unturuli
impulses and education; and, having confi
dence in the democracy of the other up
pointces, has never undertaken to question
‘ or complain oilicinlly, of their acts in any
manner.
{ \Vhero is there a through demoz‘rul, we
would ask, that wuuhl desire to hold an'of
fice uuder a \\‘hig administration—to be
looked upon as a paltry beggar on a pit
tance derived from a power with which he
could entertain no conimon feeling. sympa
thy or support? And where is the Whig
thnt can rationally expect to be retained
in office, under democratic rule, when our
ruuks are filled with members of oui‘ party
——-“houest competent and faithful to the
Iconslituliou?" ‘
i One word of expl ntion with regard to
Ithc above; and it at” be well to he plain
about it first as last, No doubt the ofliccr,
alluded to in thln Territory, as having whig‘
employees in his service, is the Collector of
Customs. The employees referred to, are,
no doubt, Messrs. W. W. Miller, deputy
collector, and A. M. Poe, Esq, formerly
Inspector of Customs of the port of Bel
lingham Buy. it might be well to have
the fact borne in mind, that Mr. Miller,
the former Surveyor of the port of Nis
‘qually, has acted consistently with the de
mocratic party, ever since his residence in
Ithe Territory. Daring ,our_late election,
no member of the party used greater exer
tiono than did Mr. Miller, to procure a du
mocmtic aaeoadency in both branches or
the Legislature—nor wan this exertion
made from a sordid motive, hut front a con
viction that the features of the Nebraska
and Kansas hills contained the true doe
trine, worthy the support. and countenance
of the American republic. Knowing that
his antecedents were suppottetl' by many
(water: to be adverse to the administra
ition, he has made frcnuaht application to
resign his trust; but the Collector, con
‘oeious of his burinens qualifications—his
atncrit as a man, and his integrity as a faith
ifnl ollicer, has refused its acceptance. Mr.
Miller is not at all dependent on the posi
tion of deputy collector, as n menu‘s of sub
histeuco, and but few, that we are aware of
would desire to see him displaced.
Originally, the appointmente of Col.
Ebey, were made. under peculiahaad etu
