The Oregon Imm,gration--Indian


The Oregon Statesman of Sept. 23d, gives the follow
ing painful account Of the attacks of the Indians upon
the Immigrants:
1.-The Immigrants are coming in rapidly, though the
late storm seriously retarded their progress across the
mountains. Snow fell in the Cascades to the depth OF
eight or ten inches. A large quantity Of rain also fell
and the streams will not be likely to again get down to
low water mark this season.
ga correspondent at the Dalles states that the Snake
Indians have been exceedingly troublesome. Mr.. Hud-
son Clark, of Scott county, Illinois, who, with his moth
attacked by about thirty Indians near Raft river, about
forty miles west of Fort Hall, and his mother and broth
or murdered, and his sister, a young lady about twenty.
two years, dangerously wounded, and then brutally raw
ishcd by most of the party. The fends then mede good
their escape, taking with them twenty-five horses, the
property OF Mr.. Clark and a Mrs. Hoffman. The mother
of Mr. C. is an aged lady, and had a son named Thomas,
who came TO Oregon in lS4S, and who is now residing
somewhere in this territory.
"a few days previous to the commission of these out
RACES. the same band of Indians attacked a wagon own
brother-in-law, a Mr.. jackson. and wounded = Young
lady, a daughter of Mr.. NJ. Mr.. Miller was also seri-
ously wounded, but It was thought he would recover.
"A Mr.. HsrpooPs train of twenty wagons was like
wise attacked near this place, and after a fight of two
hours tho Indians were repulsed with a considerable loss.
GA party of sixteen men returned, and gave battle 10
the Indians who attacked Mr.. Clark, but were driven
back with a loss of one killed and one wounded. They
penetrated far enough into the mountains to discover
their rendezvous, and they report that they have an i'm
mense band OF horses in their possession.
"Our correspondent represents the immigrants TO be
generally healthy and well supplied with provisions.
Their teams are also in better condition than those of
any preceding year. All were getting along we'll before
the untoward storm"

The Pork Market.

At St. Louis, on the Both ult4, buyers were holding of
at $3.50 and over. We have seen but one or two that
did not express a determination not to buy al ANYTHING
above 81 sc, a majority are even unwilling to exceed
s4aS4 %. We think there is rather more anxiety to
sell, and if $4.6l1aS47 rs, or any price above 81 so was
could be purchased delivered after the 18th Of Novem-
Der.
At Lexington, Mo, the hemp culture has so diverted
the attention Of farmers from hog raising that no pork
will be parked this season for shipping.
AT Quincy, Ill. sales have been made at 81 .25. At
Bloomington sales have been made to some extent at
Sc. 25 and s.. so.
AT Evansville, Ia, says the Journal of the Both: One
of our pork buyers has offered 81 to different sellers for
hogs delivered in Evansville, hut has not yet succeeded
in closing any contract at this psicc. He could have
bought a great number at that price, delivered in the
home pens.-Cin. Enquirer.

Opening a Mound,

The workmen on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
opened an Indian mound on Saturday last, on the farm
OF B. McMeahen, Esq. The Wheeling Gazette says:
1.-The mound was abont 10 feet in diameter and II
feet high. Nearly on a level with the surrounding earth
fire, west Of north Of the altar the head and body of an
Indian extending west Of north, at a slight declination
from the head TO the feet. This body was covered to
the depth of afoot or more with ashes in whicS the salt
was still manifest to the taste, as we are told. The
body was remarkably perfect, and was mostly preserv-
ed. Around this body were twelve others with their
heads centering toward it, and feet projecting. No ar
ticles Of art were found except a polished stone tube,
about IL inches in length.

saw q crowd Of people within, DOING nothing, it occur
red to his inventive genius that there would be a good
opportunity 10 enquire for his horse.
Solemn silence pervaded the crowded assembly, when
in walked our hero, dressed in his red wampus, SLOUGH
ed cap. and eheekered pants.
Good mornin''" said he, as he entered. Some CT the
audience looked sravely up, but no one replied to his I'M
seasOnable Salutation.
'GIod mornin'I' said he, again, as he walked up the
aisle. BY this time some of the naughty young people
began 10 smile. But no one answered.
GOOD m0rnin'" be repeated, as he came 10 a stand
directly before the stand of the Elders. And now 10
