CoNsRess.-Hoh T. B. King, of Georgia, has
made an able report to the House OF represent
tatives on system of Steam communication
to China by way of Chagres, Panama, Mon.
terey of California. and thence to shangae, in
China, by way Of Fox Islands and the Cluster
Of Japan. The route in question, though dp-
parently not in the most direct, has been shown
in an able report by Lieut.. Murry, TO conform
with what is called by geographers, " the arc
Of a great circle drawn though the two
points of Panama aud shangae," and therefore
tho quickest and best rodte. This arrange
ment is. TO continue until the Whitney railroad
to the Pacific is completed, when, OF course
the latter medium Of intercourse will be sub
stituted as far as the bay San Fransisco' in the
Pacific.

FoEr v4NSopvER, 7lh Dec. l847.
Geo, .4berncAy Esq. Sir. Having receiy.
ed intelligence last night, by special express,
from Walla Walla, Of the destruction Of the
missionary settlement Of Waiilatpu, by the
Cayuse Indians Of thatplace.we hasten, 10 com-
municatet the particulars ofthat dreadful event
one OF the most a~trocious which darkens the
annals of Indian crime.
Our lamented friend Dir. Whitman. his amias
bic and accomplished lady with nine other
persons, have fallen victims to the fuft Of these
remorseless savages, who appear to have be chi
lnstigated to this appalling crime by a horria
Bile suspicion which had taken possession Of
their superstitious minds; in consequence Of
the number Of deaths from disentery and
measles, that DR.. Whitman was silently work
ing the destruction OF their tribe by adminis-
tering poisonous drugs under the semblance
Of s%alutary medicines.
With a goodness Of heart and benevolenco
truly his own, Dr.. Whitman had been laborind
necessarily since the appearance Of the mea-
sizes and d%isentary amoug his Indian converts
to relieve their sufEerings, and such has been
the reward Of his generous labors.
Mr., Ogden, with a strong party, will leave
this place as soon as possible for Walla WaIla,
to endeavor to prevent further evil; and beg
to suggest to you the propfiety Of taking ins
mediate measures for the protection Of the
Rev. Mr.. Spauldlng; who, for the sake of his
family, ought 10 to abandon the Clear Water
Mission without delay, and retire to a place Of
safety, as he cannot remain at that isolated
station without imminent risk, in the present
excited, and irritable state of the Indian popus
@Iation.

MR., MEEK'S MEMORANDA,
Your most obedient serva

MR.. MEEK's MEMORANDA,
lhave Just arrived from the territory Of Ores
gon. | left Oregon on the 4th Of January.
When | left Walla Walla, on the 26,h day
Of January, the people Of the territory ofOr-
egon were at open war with four tribes of In
dians-the Cayuse, Walla WalIa, Shaster and
Day Indians. -Four battles had taken place
between them before | left the country; the
first engagement took place at the foot of the
Dalles Of the Columbia, on the 9th Of January
between a small party of troops under the
command of Capt Lee.-the next took place
sometime after between the advance guard of
the Oregon regiment under the command of
Major Lac. He was forced to retreat, with
very little loss, and fall back upon the rcgi+
ment.
Next day, the regiment marched Up to the
Shaster river under the command Of Col. G.:
Gillian. About IL O'Clock, they were attack
ed by a large body of Indians, but they were
soon routed by the troops-thcir villages taken
and burned. Large quantity Of Salmon fish;
preserved for food, and other property were also
destroyed.
The Oregon Regiment having been r%einforc-
ed, so as to number 500 men, they took up the
line Of march for the Walla Walla. On the
18th of February, the enemy appeared on the
plains in great numbers, and a line Of battle
was formed, The engagement commenced
about ten O'Clock, and lasted until night part
ed the combatants. Each party camped on
the ground, but the next morning the enemy
had left the field, A large number OF Indians
of other tribes, were present as lockers on the
strife. il was not known how many Of the
Indians were killed. The troops had a nine
FOUNDER with them; mounted on an emigrants
wagon, drawn by six yoke Of oxen; the balls
gave out during the battle, and they were
compelled to shoot away the lock-chains be-
longing to the baggage Wagons.
Next day, they marched to the Utilla riveri
and thence to DR.. Whitman's Mission, the
scene Of the massacre. All the property a.
bout the place had been destroyed by Indians
and the houses burnt Here too were the heads
of tho Doctor and Of his amiable wife lying
in the yard, and the bones Of the other suffer-
ers scattered about on the ground, AT this
point | left the troops and took the Blue Noun
tain route, the Snow from three to five feet
deep, for aboutth thirty miles, until we fell in the
third division Of Oregon.
There were ten Of usin company-Li. Bow
man,G G. W. Ebbert, John T. Owen. M. R. Mil
Ian. p. D. Burras, David Young Jacob Tea
bout, James Johnstead, and Harry Evans
than whom better men cannot be found Tor

Of Indians on the South Fork Of the Columbia
and Snake rivers-and they said they were
