the command of the company devolyes up
on, we have not ascertained.
The recent rains on this side of the noun
tains afford something like assurance that
snow has accumulated in the mountains, to
such an extent as to afford something like
barrier, in tho shape of snow, between
the Indians on either side and probably
prevent any further hostilites, during the
present season. Capt KEYEs, MALoNEY,
and Lieut.. SLAUGHTER, together with the
volunteer force, under their Respective com
mapders, are all on hand, and if the Indians
do not think that the water is deep we ad

"Ths Indian Ag.neY"-Agaln.

For some time past the Puget Sound
Courier, with its accustomed tOolfIshHess,
has been snarling and swapping at the heels
Of Gov. STEVENS and the Indian Agency
generally-without point and without facts
to sustain it. We have had. occasion to
indulge in some remarks relative to the In
dian Agency adjacent to the waters Of the
Sound. Heretofore we have made no men
tiOn of the workings Of the Indian Depart
ment on the Columbia river or east of the
Cascade mountains. To the united efforts
of General PALMER, Superintendent of In
dian affairs in Oregon, and Captain j. Cam
Of this territory Indian Agent) who have
been using extraordinary exertions, night
and day, for the preservation of the peace,
and maintenance Of kindly intercourse,
between the whites and the Indians sHPpos-
ed to be friendly, we are much indebted.
Their joint efforts to prevent the coalition
of the peaceable and hostile Indians, and
their endeavors to prevent the joining Of
the belligerant parties of both territories
against the whites, is highly commendAble.
In conclusion we would say, that all the
supposed friendly Indians eastward have
been congregated in different localities and
have been placed under the vigilant though
protective eye Of various sub-agents. We
will enter into the details of this subject in
the future.

prominent officer against the Indians, advise chief Of

ing county" the Pioneer has no such proof at hand
and we should not wonder II that statement was penned
when his pisiORs were distorted and the blank sheets
before him appeared documents and the appliances

" As to that gas about that certain Off
Ger in an adjoining county" we have only
to say, that our statement is based upon
the information of Capt. J. M. Hunt, and
Col. NJ. 7. SIMMONS and that the person
or gentleman referred to is no less per-
sonage than 1t. ]. Q. Cole, Of the compa-
ny of Capt. WALLAcE-Pierce county.
, 1855-12-07

The Indians have been paid no portion Of
the consideration of their lands, as yet ;
what has been given them, are mere pres
ents. And here is another irhdpper of the
Courier's, nailed to the counter as bogus
coin but that is its currency in politics.
Abundant evidence is coming to light to
show that this war has been contemplated
by the Indians from two to three years, and
long before a treaty was spoken of with
them, and before Gov. STEVENS came into
the territory. And we need not long be in
doubt as to who are the agitators of this
war. Mormonsm has acted prominent
part in it, as far as facts are coming to
light, up to this time. We think that
Brigham Young and the mormon saints
should have the help of the Courier and its
bogus editor he and his paper are fit ad-
iuncts for the present times.
A word of warning to the hreling scrib-
blers, Of the Courier. More Of them are
known than they imagine, and the first
thing they know, we Will give their names
to the public, and unmask the trucking,
towards, and place them "as fixed
figures for the hand of scorn to point its
SLOW unmoving finger at" Do you under
stand this? Look out for squalls.
To hear this corps of scribblers talk and
prate about honesty, you would imagine
their claims to principle to be legitimate.
Such men are 6t to abuse Gov. STEVENS,
and such men do abuse him. They are
well qualified for their calling, and but
obey the instincts Of their craven hearts.
Such contemplate white livered driVelers,
would steal the coppers of the eyes of
dead nigger, and not blush May God
save them from q just retribution. These
scribblers are known by their ear marks,
and justice is at hand and they must meet
it, and then the cowardly fawning syco-
phants-their bastard hearts will quail
Nioc fellOtrs, these! Wonder what the
Courier pays themH But enough of this (;
let candid public judge them.
Gov. STEVENS is laboring for the welfare
of Washgton territory-may be at this
hour, battling for the lives Of her inhabit-
ants. Will a high minded and generous
people let go unrebuked, such unmitigated
slanderH The skulking towards who thus
assail him, are those who will not place
in the field in defence of their
laws or her honor. Treason
stalks abroad in the land-aid and comfort
given to the savage against the white man
The people will do justice according to
the facts.

painful one, that whilst we have been

in defending the general and territorial ad-

saults Of the opposition, that acting gov
