From the Independence Expositor.
LATE FROM OREGON AND CALL
FORNIA

A company arrived here on Thursday
last, part of whom were from Oregon, and
the rest from California. The parties met
in the wilderness on their way in, and then
came here together. Mr.. J. M. Shively,
from Oregon, informs us that he left Ore
gon on the 10Th April last. He states that
the settlers have fine prospect for an
abundant crop this year; and that they
were making ample preparations to have
every thing necessary for the emigration
which went out the present year. He in
forms US that he met the advance party of
the Oregon emigrants who went out this
year. on the 9Th of July last at Green Riv-
err about 26O miles this side of Fort Hall.
The emigrants were travelling in detached
parties, the last of whom he met only one
days travel beyond Fort Laramie. Moth
ing had occurred TO them on their route
worthy of particular notice. They were
all well supplied with an abundance of
provisions and their stock and teams had
stood the trip exceedingly well, with the
exception of their horses. These he states
were poor and seemed much faded and
exhausted. There was no sickness of any
kind amongst the emigrants. He states
that the number of cattle was immense!
The emigrants numbered about 1915 souls,
large and small.
Owing to recent disturbances in Oregon
with the WallaUalla Indians, it was antici-
pated that the emigrants would be har-
raised by them on their route. They were
advised however, of this anticipated attack
and intended gathering at Fort Hall in
sufficient numbers TO repel any attack that
might be meditated against them. Mr..
Shively is of opinion that the settlers in
Oregon will have disturbances with the
Indians during the coming winter, but moth
ing serious was apprehended from this ex-
pected outbreak.
He states that many Of the settlers are in
favor of organizing an Independent Gov
eminent, thinking themselves too far from
the American Government would act with
more promptness and decision than it has
done heretofore.
Mai. Nj. Harris. better known here as
"black Harris" was in Oregon, and enga-
ged in hunting a better road than the one
now travelled from Fort Hall to Oregon
City.
Mr. Shively brought large number of
letters for the different sections of the Uni
ted States.
CALrFoRNIA:-From Mr.. Sappington,
who left California on the 4th of April
last, we have confirmation of the account
of the recent revolution which has been
published heretofore. The citizens of the
country have appointed Governor of
their own, but it was anticipated that an
other revolution would soon take place, and
that the old government would be re-estab-
ished. He brings no other news of i'm
portance.

INDIAN FIGuT.-A fight occurred some
time since between the Pawnee, Arrapaho
and Otto tribes of Indians. The latter
were returning from hunting excursion
when they were attacked by the former
In the skirmish, some 80 Ottos were killed
The Ottos, in revenge, subsequently, killed
four of the Pawnee tribe al Council Bluffs.
These tribes have ever been hostile toward
each other.

medicine to effect such wonders in the healing art
as experience has proven them competent to per-

MAIL FAILURE.

The Eastern mail failed on Tuesday last
1t seems TO US mail failures on this route
occur rather too often. There is some
cause, somewhere, for these failures, which
should be removed. On Tuesday the stage
passed up in good time, bringing the mail
bags as usual, but the main bag empty
which shows culpable degree of negli.
gcncc on the part of some of the postmas.
tiers. The brass lock bag, we believe, is
only opened at St. Charles and Fulton. II
SO, the post master at one of these places
or St. Louis, neglected their duty. If the
mail started from st. Louis, it must have
stopped at St. Charles or Fulton. We
wish our contemporaries at these points
would assist US in this matter We want
TO get on the right track, and if we should
be so fortunate as to do so, we shall cry
aloud and spare not.
P. S. A letter received by the postmas.
ter at this place from the deputy post mas
ter at ST. Charles, states that the failure oc.
Cured at that office. Mr.. Fulkerson, the
postmaster, was taken suddenly sick, and
the business was left in the hands of dep.
uty who was totally ignorant of the affairs
of the office. The postmaster is still very
i'll.

FRoM THE AFRICAN Col.
oNIEs.-Advices from Mon.
rovia, (Liberia,) TO the 10th
June, have been received by
the New York Sun. The
papers give the particulars OF
the capture of the schooner
John Seys, the only vessel
belonging to the Colonists at
Bassa Cove. which vesseI
was seized by the British
man.of-war, Lilly, and con.
veyed to Sierra Leone, &c
be sold as a prize. The
seizure is in consequence OF
some dispute between the
Colonists and British mer.
chants in regard to CONNER.
cial regulations; and the Eng.
lish, with their accustomed
arrogance and disregard to
the rights of other nations
have attempted to settle the
dispute in this way. The
officer in charge of the
schooner at the time of seiz.
ure, requested the British
commander to respect the
Colonial flag, TO which he re-
piled:
81 don't recognize your
colors; you are no nation
neither are you under the pa
tronage of any nation. The
authority that granted your
papers is not a recognized
one; and what right have the
id Yankees to place Colo

The Colonies are generally
prosperous. Gov. Russworn
has visited an interior tribe
of natives at Dena, about
thirty or forty miles due eas1
from Cape Palmas. He made
a treaty of peace with them
The ceremony of ratification
is thus described:
"The covenant is perform
ed by the chiefs of the con
tending tribes, after the pa
LAYER is talked, which is g
kind of court held by all the

There is a bowl of water

hands of the other king, who
sits before him while he per
forms the act. This being
done, the other king gets W
and goes through the same
process. This being done by
the kings, peace is made
throughout the tribe or ma
ton. The Governor sue
ceeded in getting a peace o
this sort made between the
Dena and the Cape Palmai
people, there being one o

MINISTER TO ENGLAND.-The editor Of
the New York Evening Post, who is in
England, attending free trade meetings
thus raps President Polk over the knuckles
for appointing Mr.. McLane Minister to
England:
al cannot close this letter without ex pressing
my regret that Mr.. Polk should have made such
an appointment as that of Mr.. McLane, to rep
resent the government OF the United States in
this country. 1t would have been much better
to allow Mr. Everett TO remain, il he is willing,
as suppose he is. In regard to political opinions,
there is not much TO choose between Mr.. Ever.
ell and Mr.. McLane, or, rather the advantage is
on the side OF Mr.. Everett, inasmuch as his
opinions are frankly declared. In point OF char
acter and capacity, he is much before the man Sc.
lected as his successor. The files of the evening
Post for the summer OF 1914, contain the record
of an act Of double dealing, OF which Mr. Nc.
Lane was guilty, in relation TO some misconduct
of Swarwout, the collector Of New York"
