GENERAL Wool N OREGoy.-We publish this
day an interesting letter from General Wool
to the Governor of Washington Territory
The letter throws some new light upon I e
Indian war in Oregon and Washington, j
to our mind fully justifes General Wool in his
course, while it further shows that it was left
to a stern cid soldier to set an example Of hn-
manity to beardless civilians thirsting for
Indian blood. We would direct particular at
tention to the paragraph in the Generals let.
ter relating to the Chief Peu peu mox nnox,
who, it seems was murdered by the volunteers
in the most barbarous manner when he offered
peace proposals, aud promised restitution il il
were shown that any Of his young men rad
harmed the whites. AZ General VOL very
truly sage, such conduct may have caused
feelings difficult to overcome.
As we understand the matter, the people Of
Oregon have wantonly forced the friet dly
tribes of Indians into hostile attitude; the
General Wool is now maligned because IL
does not follow the barbaroGs example set by
the volunteers as above mentioned aud com
mence var of determination for whi~h, il il
"NAS Je7e Va hcOcocaiy J, nc Ano nv ouHOicul
force, With an enlightened and humane spirit
quite ia contrast to the barbarity of the civil
authorities, General Wool seeks to make peaoe
with the friendly Indians, and punish, but not
exterminate, those who are hostile. We fear
that the civil authorities on the Pacific have
little of that leaven Of Puritanisn which
made the breed of the Pilgrim fathers to love
r,J I. ~
to their own conscienoes. The same tactics
which made the Connecticut valley dow with
the beet blood of the infant colony two hun
bred years ago, seem now to be in vogue on the
