News From Oregon.


The late arrival from the Pacific brings the follow

the Sacramento Transcript, of May %:
II will be remembered that the Rev. Mr.. Whitman.
together with his lady and family. were massacred by
the indians at The Mission above the Cascade in the
Kyose country, Oregon, some time IN the year lSl7.
There were some eight ten families temporarily
stopping in the place the time. the male members
of whom were also murdered. The women and chill
dren were taken prisoners by the Indians, and the
young compelled to become the wives Of some
of the chiefs.
Soon afterwards, Major Ogden, commander at
vancouvcrs Island, assisted by Gen. Gillnan start

rescue the unfortunate prisoners, and punish the In
dians for the outrage They found the Indians. gave
them battle in which many of those engaged 10 the
murder at the Mission were killed, aud finally
ceeded in recovering the women and children. some
fifty in number, by hiring the savages TO deliver them
up. Thus the matter ended for the time. But we
learn by Mr. Field. now in this plnce. who left Or

decided steps to have more satisfactory settlement.
