The HARDS AND THE SoFTs.-The gcner-
al committees Of these two sections Of the
democratic party in New York State are
henceforth united in one body. The union
was effected since the National Convention,
in a manner honorable to both sections
and their committees. The joint general
committee will consist Of one hundred and
twenty.eight members, half softs and half
hards. There is now every prospect that
the democracy of the state Of New York
will nominate and support one and the same
ticket for presidential electors, which will
give it a good chance of success.

the supervision of Father Pandozy, and are
friendly to a man. The principal men Of
this band are Leschi, Nelson and Kitsap, the
gentlemen Of aboriginal caste, known as the
principal murderers on the Sound Of innocent
women and children.
Teijs, a Yakima chief, with small band
Of bis people are at a fishery on the upper

Weenashett, half Yakima and Kick

Ihave not heard anything Of Yeiss recent
ly, the John Day chief, be some time ago
having made up his mind to eat two white
men before the war closed. No doubt but
what be would have a rare old feast, it he
should fall in with Gov. Stevens and that
little expressman Of his.
An express arrived yesterday from Col
Shaw's camp in Walla Walla Valley. The
Colonel is now fitting out an expedition to
meet the emigrant trains that are on their
way to Oregon. A report came down from
the NeZ Perce country to the volunteer
camp, saying that the Snakes, Bannaks
and other Indians had attacked a number
Of white men on the emigrant road, killing
eighty, and capturing their wagons and
stock, This is Indian report and | think
there is some ground for it.
The. NeZ Perces have backed down from
their warike talk, but they are not to be
relied on. Duplicity is their fort, and at
that they would beat the Oldest man ut the
Cascades.
Dalles is improving quite fast. There
are ffty.two houses in the town-six of them
are dry good establishments, four boarding
houses, two billiard saloons, three black
smith shops, meat market and livery
stable.
The United States regular garrison is
half mile back from the town, and Mis-
sion is situated a short distance below, not
far from the Columbia.
Gov. Stevens leaves for the upper country
on Tuesday next. l will accompany him
to the Walla Walla country. A supply
and baggage train belonging to the regular
service will leave, am told, on the goth
