instead continual rains for fves months. II no

Oregon Cities Oregon City, so we gath

and so houses, two churches, two taverns,
Two blacksmth's shops, two cooper's shops,

laid out by DR.. Mclaughlin on the west side

By the following it appears that the old
quarrel between the Indians and whites is to
be carried on at Oregon.
MORE INDIAN DIFFIcULTIEs-Dff Difficulties |
between the whites and natives are constant
ly increasing and gradually assuming more
serious aspect. Within the last few days
we have heard Of two unhappy cases-one in
Clatsop County, which resulted in the death
of one Of the natives another'in Champoeg
County, in which Two of the Wallawalla In
dans were wounded by party of the set
tlels firing upon the encampment, The Of
fence, on the part of the Indians in both ca
ses, was that of killing cattle belonging to |
whites. Il is to be deeply regretted that, in
none of the numerous cases of the kind which |
have lately occurred, has there been any eff |
fort made 10 have them adjusted by the prop
er authority. Every citizen seems TO feel
himselffully endowed with plenary power
to settle all disputes and difficulties with the
natives in the most summary manner. The
rifle is resorted 10 as the only corrective of
the most trivial matters Of difference; and the
lives of human beings are taken as modest
compensation for the loss of Spanish COW.
