NEWS BY EXPRESS.

to July 2Uth, anu laJe uaVeS Iroln OaiuoI-
MIA and Oregon. The news is not import
ant.
I From the Oregon Times Of August 25th,
we learn that Maj. Haller had met the
Snake Indians, some two hundred in num-
ber, and had succeeded in getting four OF
the Snake river murderers. That three Of
them were taken to the place of massacre
and hung over the graves Of their victims,
while the fourth one, in attempting to es-
cape, was shot dead. The Indians say that
it was their squaws who perpetrated the
horrid cruelties and tortures on the families
of Wards train; and one of the Indians on
the gallows confessed that he killed two
white men of the party.
The Times also informs US Of the arrival
in Portland of six or seven immigrant wag-
gons who report that very few people will
cross this season, probably some seven hun
cred wagons all told, Of which nearly all
are headed for California.
The uncercmonious execution of an Ind
ian took place in Yamhill county, Oregon,
on the 10th inst, the citizens there being
fully satisfied that he was one of the muir
derers Of Mrs. Clark and son, Of that coun-
ty.
The Indians in Southern Oregon have
again commenced the butchery of miners.
Twenty-Five persons are said to have been
killed on the klamath river in July last.
We learn from the Statesmen that Lieut..
DERBY, Typographical enginer, and GEO.
GIBBS Esq, assistant, and party, had ar
rived in Oregon, and were about to enter
upon the survey and location Of the militia
ry road from Astoria to Salem
The California papers are filled with ac-
counts Of murders, robberies, arsons, &c,
&c. We observe that know-nothingism is
again raising its deformed head in that
State.
The news from Europe is marked with its
usual interests. Lord Raglan expired at
his headquarters before Sevastopol, on the
2Sth June, and General Simpson takes the
command of the British forces until Lord
Raglan's successor is.appointed.
We learn from Washington that the gov
ernment has received information of the
kind reception of Major Mordecai and
Capt. McClelland by the Russian govern
ment, and says they have not been refused
the liberty of visiting Sebastopol.
The allies have attempted to take the
MalakofI and Redan towers, and have
failed This failure has necessitated re-
turn to the old plan Of engineering ap-
proaches, the tedious progress of(which, and
the knowledge derived from long expert
ence of their comparative inefhciency in
bringing affairs to speedy crisis, can hard
ly fail to have discouraging influence
While The allies are proceeding with their
approaches and erecting new batteries, the
garrison arc repairing the damages inflicted
upon their works, the astonishing strength
of which has already been fully tested, and
are placing them in state Of the highest
efficiency The success of the 18th have
probably inspirited the Russians as much
or more than they have diSheartened the
allies
But while the allies are renewing their
tedious and laborious approaches, guarding
their trenches from the attacks Of the enc
my, and making uncertain progress towards
the walls of Sebastopol, an enemy has fal-
len upon them in the rear, whose assaults
will be even more dreaded than those Of
the Russians. Notwithstanding the assu.
RANGES of the published dispatches, there is
abundant reason to believe that cholera
and other diseases incident to a camp life,
are committing sad havoc in the ranks Of
the allies.
The ONO ANrI-SIAvERY Fusion TICKET.
The Ohio republican state convention, or
in other words, the grand anti-slavery fu-
sion convention OF said state, has nominated
the ticket of the party for state officers to
be elected in October, and 1t is supposed
to be very powerful as well as most ex-
traordnary mixture. Wings, democrats,
free soilers aud know nothings are as CON-
fortably huddled up together as Barnum's
happy family Of monsters smothering in the
same cage Take for example, a small
slice of this selfstyled republican state tick
