|, occurred on the l9.h Of August, a.
bout ninetv.iye miles east of Fort Boise,
on the LETTERS road. The train consisted
of five wagons, under command OF Nose
Kirkland, from Louisiana. They were
met by eleven Indians, who accoSied
them in the most friendly manner by
shaking hands. Three men who were
in the rear Of the wagons, after speaking
with the Indians turned 10 90 and were
fired at. One was killed and another
wounded. The wounded man has since
died. Their names were George Lake
and Walter G. Perry.
They were from Iowa, and both leiI
families who are now on their way TO
Washington territory. The whites fired
and killed two Indians. The Indians
now retired to distance, still continuing
their fire. Alta distance of three hundred
wards. they wounded a young man from
Illinois by the name Of T.. b. CanIrel,
who died from his wounds several days
afterwards. The whites i'll their irigh'
cave m their horses, five in number up
IN which the Indians retired.
Another correspondent, writing from
Fort Boise says:
From what can learn there is de.
termination on the part of the Snakes 10
kill and rob all who may fall into their
mower. They say the Americans have
been continually telling them that unless
they cease their depredauons an army
would come and destroy them, but no
such thing has been done, and that the
Americans are afraid of them, and say
that if we want 10 fight item TO come
on.
The emigration is supposed to be as
far as Fort Boise, eXcepthve wagons, that
were TO come on the Jcllcrs road.
Another correspondent demonstrated
with the Hudson's Bay authorities al
Fort Boise against selling any more am
munilion and guns to the Indians when
they showed evident signs of hostility to
the emigrants. The reply of MIR. Ogden
the chief factor, was, "that II constituted
part of their regular business; that he
had authority TO sell from the governor OF
the company, and ;hat he should continue
to do so I'LL lie had orders 10 stop from
the governor at Vancouver" At this re-
ply our men were very indignant.
The first party who carried tidings of
the news of the massacre TO Fort Boise
could get no assistance 10 recover The cap
tves from the Indians.

that the French under Count Boulbon
were provoked to an outbreak by insults
and outrages heaped upon them in the
streets by reckless Sonoranlans.
THE Death Scene.-He was shot at
sunrise on the beach, at a distance from
the quarters where the French were con-
fined. He stood erect with his arms fold
ed, and when the word present was
giyen,he locked his hands behind his back
raised his head even higher, and the
instant after the discharge fell dead. He
received four balls. A platoon of four
men was detached to shoot him. Our re.
port states that the first platoon was deep
ly effected by his heroic conduct, that
they refused TO shoot him, and that an
other platoon had to be sent out by the
Governor. 1t is said that a medallion that
he wore upon his breast, was struck by a
ball, and the parts forced into his breast.
