FIGHT BETWEEN u. s. TROOPS
AND INDIANS IN THE NORTH

From the Shasta Courier we learn
that Government Express arriv-
ed at Fort Jones on Monday last,
directly from Fort Lane in Rogue River
Valley, bearing intelligence that COM
pany of U. S. Dragons had verv Sc
we're engagement with party of Indians
ON Deer Creek, some twenty-five miles
above Fort Lane. It seems that the
Indians en- the trail between Jackson
Vile and Crescent City, have for some
weeks past been very troublesome, hav-
ing killed one man and robbed numer-
Gus trains. For the purpose of chastis-
ing the depredators and freeing the
road from their further annoyance, Capt.
Smith, Commander at Fort Lane, sent
out Lieut.. Radtord with company of
thirty dragons, who met, and attack
ed the Indians on Deer Creek, and af
ter quite hard fight forced them to
scatter in the mountains. The Indians
had ten warriors killed, and greater
number wounded. Lieut.. Radford had
a sergeant and one private killed, and
three privates wounded. The Indians
in their flight abandoned all of their
horses, ammunition, food, and indeed
nearly all else of their worldly possess
SONS. A few instances of this style of
diplomacy will do more according to our
thinking, towards securing peace with
the savages, than thousand treaties
even though negotiated by Gen. Lane.
