Lanes profered Treaty convention Win
the Indians, proposed to be held on the
lst Sept, had not transpred. The Ore
gon Statesman says, 'twe have, and we
believe all have, unbounded confidence in
Gen. Lanes judgment in the matter, and
no fear that he will advise a treaty against
idstice, or the interests of the whites.-
He is on the ground; he understands
these Indians and the difficulties existing
there, and has been familiar with them
for the past three years. Indian fighting
with him, if the revenge of wrongs or the
safety of citizens demand it, is pastime.-
And if the southern tribes deserve exter-
mination, or the safety of the inhabitants
of that quarter demand it, we know that
Gen. Lane will be foremost in the fray,
and Gin at the death" of the last Indian
If such shall be his conclusion, no treaty
has been or will be recommended by him.
Orif he shall deem severe chastisement
sufficient and necessary, tire aties will not
meet his appreciation, till they have had it
to their thorough subduel." ,s# ~

The following are some of the particu-
lars given of the Indian battle:
Col. Alden was badly wounded the first
fire; also Pleasant Armstrong, of Yam
hill, was shot through the breast, exclaim-
ing as he fell--t.a dead center shot. >
The battle continued raging with great
fury, the yells of the Indians, the bowling
of dogs and the sharp continuous crack of
the rifles lasted about one hour, when our
pack train arrived, and furnishing ten men
more, Gen. Lane at the head of those
ten, followed down the trail to the battle
ground, and with brave determination,
ordered charge, leading himself. When
he arrived near the camp he received a
wound through the right arm. The bat
tie continued for about four hours and the
Indians called for quarters or a parley.
When finding that Gen. Lane was there,
they insisted on his coming mo their
camp. The old hero, although pretty
badly wounded, and suffering much, i'm
mediately went into the Indian camp, or
fortifcation, for it was represented to be
stronger place to charge than "Capulte-
pec,") and had talk with Sam, Joe, and
Jim. An armistice was agreed upon for
a short time. We buried our dead, and
in short time Col. Ross, with his com
mand arrived, and general treaty was
talked of, and an armistice with Joe and
Sam was agreed upon for seven days, at
which time they were to meet Gen. Lane
and give up their rifles.
Our loss in battle was three killed on
the ground-Pleasant Armstrong, F.
Brady, and one, name not known. Woun
ded, Col Alden, Gen. Lane Hays,
and two, names not known.
The Indians say 12 killed dead, and 60
wounded-most all mortally. Much talk
of a continuous war, and many are anx-
ious for peace. If there is not peace,
Rogue river will be the grave and resting
place of many brave and good man.
