Adv;ces from Washington Territory, received
at San Francisco on the day of the sailing OF the
steamer, gives the particulars of an attack made
on 9fth of January By Kiiketar Indians upon
Seattle in that Territory. For four nights pre-
ced,ng the attack the town had been garrisoned
by the officers end crew of the Decatur.
Ito o'clock, forenoon ofthe 26th, all hands
returned to the ship, but in very short time
word was sent that the town was surrounded by
| the kliketars.
| The men were Immediately relanded and the
attack commenced by firing shot from the no
| witzer which was returned by volley from the
entire rear of the town, the Indians at the same
time uttering terrific yells of defiance. The hiring
| was continued until 3 7. NJ, when finding that
the Indians could not be driven from the woods,
| il was decided to settle the matter i'll different
| way. -.,Hs
| The women and children were sent OH board
| the Decatur and Broutes, the citizens and mari
ners were left in charge of the black house, and
the officers and crew returned to the ship. The
batteries were opened from the Decatur, and
| grape canister and round shot poured upon the
Indians in such quantities that the main body Of
| them retreated. After nighttall, shell and shot
were thrown wherever any sign of Indians APP
peared and by Top. NJ. all was quiet.
:. 1t is impossible to ascertain tho number en-
gagged in the attack. There are various rumors
| from which we gather that the Indians were from
| roo to 900 strong. 1t is also rumored that the
| Indians had 81 killed and 80 wounded. On the
side of the whites only two were killed, both ci-
villains.
| The Indians shot too high. The bullets whis-
| tied over the heads of our forces. An attack is
| feared upon Steacoom, as short time before the
steamer sailed an express came into the garrl-
son with Information that the Indians had at
tackled some whites about five miles from the
garrison .-r
| The injury to the Decautcr has been repaired,
and she is in good condition. All well on
