From the New Orleans Delta, August
The Crapeshot, heavily armed, under Captain
rieus manner. She had been anchored off the
mouth Of the river for the last two months, during
all of which time her astute and active captain
has been moving about our city and neighborhood
In manner to excite much curiosity and some
ALARM. One evidence Of this was sfforded by the
Spanish Consul, who dispatched vessel aud mes
senger to Cuba, Immediately on the arrival of the
GIapeshot, and has made her the subject OF several
subsequent communications. We hear IL whispered
that fast schooner has already been chartered by
tue same vigilant official, TO proceed Immediately to
Havana TO caution the authorities there to be
tho lockout for the Grapeshot. No donbt the sal
shot has made The circuit Of the island aud accom-

Why should not p,ivstcering be as honorable and

the Russian as good flag for that purpose as any
other? On one point we feel pretty con1dent-that
there is lot vessel in the Eogish or French ser
vice that could ever catch tho Grapeshot, IL she
should show her heels to them; and not one Of her
size that would ever grapple with her in fight.

The Progress Of the Revolution.
This country is at present in state of alarm aud
agitation; many important towns and the whole
province of Barquisimeto have declared in favor Of
the revolution, aud against the existing govern.
ment at the head Of whichis General Jose Greyorio
Monsgas. All business is completely paralyzsd,
and the government is withou, the means necessary
oqusn the rebellion. The authorities here have
commenced persecuting several important persons
who are suspected Of being concerned in the revou
ton, and the consequence has been that many OF
them have concealed themselves, aud others have
fed and joined the insurgent forces; among the
after is Senior Miguel Herrera, talented and inlu-
entail person, who had held place in the cabinet
of former administrations. The government, aware
of its present position, has had recourse to forced
enlistng Of men, and we have witnessed here with
in the last few days, the farce Of seizing and bind
ing the future defenders Of the government to com
Eel them to join the ranks Of the forces to be en-
ploJed against the revoutionzed provinces Of Coro
and Barqnisimeto. A few days since, we received
positive information that Senior Miguel Her
rera was at the town Of FL Baul, an
important place which has also pronounced against
the gover ment; it is the key to the Uanos, or
plains and can easily furnish large force of cayal-
ry. Color Ell Juan Garces still holds the province
Of Corc where he Is collecting his forces to march
against Bsrquisimeto. Should he succeed in reach.

prevent it, lie will be at tie head or consde rabe

may then be said to be in the heart of the republic,
and in a position to invade important districts

the dscontent is general and spreading; while, on
the other hand reverse or check occurring to the
insurgents win only serve to prolong the struggle
for some time. Such is the position OF this eoun.

Indian Difficulties.

Serious apprehensionS are entertained of
trouble with the various Indian tribes be-
tween this place and Cape Flattery, and a
fatal demonstration has been made by the
SnohomiSh band on party Of whites, the
reception of the news Of which on Thursday
last, created quite an excitement amongst
the citizens and sojourners Of Olympia. The
origin of the difficulty and the facts connsc-
ted herewith, seems 10 be somewhat as fol-
lows:
It seems that young man by the name
Of Young, an engineer in the saw mill ol
Mr.. C. C. Terry, Of Alki, engaged a party
Of three Indians of the tribe above referred
to, TO accompany him, in canoe, in search
Of claim. Several days having elapsed, two
Of the Indians returned with the clothing,
watch, and, As was supposed, money Of Mr..
Young. Suspicion being entertained that
they had murdered him, they were about to
be aPPrehended, when they fed to Holmes
harbOr, Island county. They were at once
pursued by party of four men under the
direction ofths Sheriff Of King county, and
secured but before the canoe which was to
convey them had been fairly disengaged
from the beach, an attack was made upon
the posse BY large band Of armed Indians,
which resulted in fatally wOunding DR.. Cher
4.
ry and The wounding Of sheriff Russell and
Mr.. Tyson, and slaughter Of nine Of the
Indians, amongst whom was one Of The muir
derers Of Young. The Indians were efec-
,tually rePulSed, and the party succeeded in
returning 10 Seattle with the other murder
or who plead guilty 10 the charge, and ac-
knOWledged the murder of the third cOnfed-
srsis who started in company with Mr..
Young, in consequence Of quarrel about q
division Of the spOils. DR.. Cherry died al
Seattle shortly afler bis arrival there. The
wounds received by the others are not Of a
very serious character.
In less than an hour after the reception Of
news Of The above outrage. Gov. Stevens,
as superintendent Of Indian Affairs, with
that PrOmptness and energy Of character for
which he is SO prOverbial, embarked in a
revenue boat for Fl. SleilacOOm, for The Pur-
, pOseOf accompanying The military 10 the
theatre Of dificuIty, and as a last resort to
punish, in signal manner, the perpetrators
Of the outrage.
The governor has appointed Col. NJ. T.
Simmons special Indian agent, and is accom-
panied BY him and Mr.. George Gibbs, who,
for some time past has been engaged in TAX
ing census Of the Indian tribes, and col
lecting useful statistics in reference thereto.
The above gentlemen understand the Indian
character, and can probably do more with
them than any other two persons in the ter
rilOry; and we feel perfectly satisfied thai
Whatever may be the result of the distur-
bsncs, sxpediency will be consulted. Al
al events, the direction Of affairs is in safe
hands.

those deeds which are seeds dropt by tbe

Like twilight hours when the summer sun has Sel,n

We are the first Legislature Of the Ter

those differences, they are honestly enter

degree of respect. If nov and, then inter

affairs in which we cagnot afford to be gen
