KANSAS.


President Pierce has given over the people Of
Kansas to the tender mercies Of the Border
Rufians. In reply to n delegation which visited
him to solicit protection for the Free State settlers
he replied most emphatically that his policy in re.
gard to Kansas should not be changed. And his
instructions to the new governor are in entire
harmony with this resolution.
We authorizes him to call out the Kansas militia,
which means the organized Border Ruiians in ihe
Territory and already General Richardson, who
sometime since called out these lnwless men, and
has been since blockading the entrance to the ter,
ritory, is with his forces incorporated into the
United States service. And the new Governor is
also authorized to call upon the Governors Of Ken.
lucky and Illinois for regiment of men from
cach,to aid in subduirg the already beleaguered
citizens Of the Territory. From present appeac.
ances, we see no way FOR their escape from slaugh.
ter or expulsion. Those without the Territory can,
not get admission and those within cannot escape
or procure ammunition, provisions and other neces,
sary supplies.
The state of things existing in the territory is
illustrated by the following account of n horrid out
rage communicated to the public by n cores
pondent of tie New York Tribune. Mr.. Hyatt
spoken of and his family are persons Of much re-
spcctability and worth.

General Orders, No. 5.

The Commander-in-C Chief, for himself and
the inhabitants of Washington Territory,
desires me to express to Lieut. Col. SHAW
the gallant officers and men Of the Right
Wing Of the 2d Regiment, aud the officers
and men of the commands of Major LAYTON,
of Oregon Territory, and Capt Corr, Of
Washington Territory-his high apprecia-
ton of their late brilliant and successful
achievements at the battles of Grand Roude
and Burnt river.
The intelligence of these successes has
given the highest qualification TO those Of
their fellow-citizens Of the Territory, who
are well aware the blessings of permanent
peace with the savages can be obtained,
only through such vigorous and decisive
blows as those inflicted at the Grand Ronde
and Burnt river.
Orders are issued to raise 200 men to
strengthen the command of Lieut.. Col.
SHAW. Ample supplies are being collected,
and nothing VIII be lett uadone TO furnish
every suppprNto the brave and gallant Ter
ritoriai forces, whose energetic, active, and
intelligent officers are SO ably seconded by
gallant and willing men.
With the assurance 10 the Right Wing
of the 2d Regiment, that its patriotic and
vigorous services are fully understood at
Head Quarters, and that the present and
future citizens Of Washington Territory
will fully appreciate them, and perpetuate
their memory in history.

NATIONAL WHIGs.-Some advantage the
nation has derived from the Know Nothing
movement: it has efectually seiHnotecd the
old whig party, and, whilst the chaff has
been carried Of by the breeze, the wheat ha;
been left to be absorbed by the democratic
party. But, among the thousands aud tens
of thousands Of accessions, which the demo.
craey have received, none will it receive
with more cordial welcome, or with o
heartier satisfaction, than the distinguished
Senator from Louisiana, Mr. Benjamin,
who in speech delivered in the United
States senate on the I'd list, declared his
discrimination to iein the democratic party.

SIR-In my letter of 18th inst, an
nounced my intention of making n scout
towards the Grand Ronde as soon as
could make the necessary arrangements for
placing this post in security during my alb
sence.
The trails toward it were recconnotered
and I'm excellent guide secured" Captain
john" Nez Perce chief.
started at dark on the evening of the
l4th inst, with the majority of the COM
mand, consisting Of six companies, viz:
Lit. Williams, 1t Wait, Capt. Miller,
Capt Heuness and Major Maxou, in all,
100 men and officers, besides the pack train
with ten days rations. We marched all
night, so as to get into the mountains be-
fore daylight, so that the dust could not be
discovered. We took trail only travel
ed by Indians and but little frequenied by
them lately. We arrived in the Grand
Ronde valley on the evening of the 10th
and camped on branch Of the Grand
Ronde river in the timber, sending spies in
advance who returned, and reported no
fresh sign.
On the morning Of the 18th, leaving
Major. Blankenship, of the central and
Capt. Miller Of the southern battalions, as
sisted by Capt. DeLacy to take up the line
Of march for the main valley, J proceeded
ahead to rccconnoitre, accompanied by
Major Maxon, Michael Marchmean, Capt.
John and DR.. Burns. After proceeding
about Eve miles, we assembled knoll in
the valley, from which We discerned dust
arising along the timber of the river. l
Immediately sent Major Maxon and Cap
tain John forward to rccconnoire and re-
turned to hurry up the command which
was not far distant. Tho command was
instantly formed in order, Captain Miller's
company in advance, supported by Max
on's, Hcnness', and Powelrs companys-
leaving the pack train IN charge Of the
guard under 1t. Goodwin, with detach-
ment Of COTS company under Lit. Wait,
and 1t Williams company in reserve, with
orders to follow on after the command
The whole command moved on quickly
in this order, until within half mile of the
Indians village, where we discovered that
the pack train had moved to the left, down
the Grand Rondc river. At this moment
a large body of warriors came forward,
singing and whooping, and one OF them
waving white mans scalp on pole
One Of them signifed desire to speak,
whcreupon sent Captain John to meet
him, and formed the command in line of
battle. When Captain John came up to
the Indians they cried out to one another
to shoot him, whercupon he retreated to
the command and l ordered the four COM
panics to charge.

less note.
The whole command, officers and men,
behaved well. The enemy was run on the
gallop for Is miles, and most of those who
fell were shot with the revolver. 1t is I'M
possible to state how many of the enemy
were killed. Twenty-seven bodies were
counted by one individual, and many 9TH
ers We know to have fallen and been left,
but were so scattered about that it was
impossible to get count of them. When to
these We add those killed by Major Max
on'S command on the other side of the river,
VIC may safely conclude that at least forty
of the enemy were slain, and many went
off wounded. When we left the valley
there was not an Indian in it, and all the
sign went to show that they had gone a
great distance from it.
On the 2lst inst. VIC left the valley by
the emigrant road, and commenced our re-
turn to camp. During the night, Lieut.
Hunter of the W. I. volunteers came into
camp with an express from Capt. Goff. !
learned, to my surprise, that the Captain
and Major Layton had seen Indians on
John Days riSer-hal followed them over
to the head of Burnt river, and had had q
fight with them, in which Lieut.. Eustus and
one private were killed, and some seven In
dians. They were shaping their course for
the Grand Ronde valley, and had sent for
provisions and fresh horses. l Immediately
sent Lieut.. Williams back with all my
spare provisions and horses, and continued
my march. On Wild Horse creek came
across Mr.. Files, pack master who had
been left in camp, who informed me, to my
extreme satisfaction, that Maj. Maxon and
his command had arrived in camp safe, ant
were then near us with provisions and Fam
munition. These l sent on Immediately t
Capt. Goff
learned that Major Maxon had beer
attacked in the valley, by large force o.
Indians, on the day Of the fight, ,-had
gained the brush and killed many of them
that at night he tried to find our camp, ant
hearing noise like child crying, prob
ably one Of the captured squaws, had con
cluded that my command had gone on tC
Powder river, and that the Indians had re
turned to the valley by another canyon
He moved his position that night, and the
hext day saw the scout looking for him
but in the distance thought that it was q
band Of Indians hunting his trail. Con
ceiying himself cnt on from the command
he thought it best to return to this camp
thinking that we would be on our way
back to Grand Ronde with provisions and
ammunition.
Enclosed you will find the Surgeons re
port OF the killed and wounded.

Nothing Lost.

Aside from IT, excellent moral Is not the following
-ery musical and beautfuli
Nothing Is lost; the drop Of dew
Which trembles on the leaf or flower.
Il but eXhGled to fall anew
In summers thunder shower;
Perehanoe to sparkle in the flow
OF fountains far away.
Nothing Is lost--the tiniest seed
By wild birds borne or breezes blown,
Finds something suited to is need,
Wherein It's sown and grown.
The language " some household song,
The perfume Of some cherished flower,
Though gone from outward sense belong
To memory's after hour.
So with our words; or harsh or kind,
Uttered they are not all forgot;
They have their Influence OIL the mind
Pass on-but perish not.
So with your decds: for good Or ILL.,
They have their power scarce understood;
Then let Us use our better will
To make them rife with good!

There's rot heath, however rude,
But hath some little flower
To brighten up its solitude,
And scent the evening hour.
There's not heart, however cast
By grief and sorrow down,
But hath some memory Of the past,
To love and call its own.

HO tOiler Of the moody brow
Ho youth Of downcast eye!
Why should'st thou talk of sinking now,
Why heave that bitter sigh?
Come, coin thy thoughts in hopes bright moul
And light your checks 50 pale,
For youths like thee, so young and bold,
There's no such word as fail
Art crossed in love? Let beauty fruwn;
Turn thon to surer game;
Turn to the virtuous deeds rcnown,
And earn deathless name.
Turn To the works Of Godlike men;
Hoist up daring sail
And IL thou stumblest, try again-
THERE'S no such word as fail
The Spanish voyagcr crossed the sea
To seek another world;
And sickening in despOndency,
His weary sails he furled;
Nut, taking heart he wcnded on,
Till land birds filed the gale;
Columbus saw his work was done
There's no such thing as fail!
Thousands who rose from want and gloom
Are now in grandeur laid,
With storicd marbles DER their tomb,
In many ministers shade;
Whilst noble youths, with bended head,
Think us the brow they veil,
And learn the glories of the dead
There's no such word a. fail
And thou, oh youth of moody look,
Cheer up thy sinking heart;
Try new Leaf u LIES worn book,
Con DER better part.
A mockiug demon bids you fear,
But turn and cry--all hail!
