THE BATTLE IN WASHINGTON TERRITORY. In
the Northern papers we find some further particulars
of the fight at Seattle. The round shot and grape
thrown by the Decatur, finally dispersed the Indians;
and the attack was not renewed by them. We ex-
tract the following: -e
1t is impossible to ascertain the number engaged in
the attack There are various rllnors, from which
we gather that the Indians were from seven to nine
hundred strong 1t is also rored that the Indians had
50 killed and 36 wounded. On side of the whites
only two were killed both civilians. The Indians
shot too high the bullets whistling over the heads of
our forces. An attack is feared upon Steiacoom as,
4 short time before the steamer sailed, an express
came into the garrison with information that the
Indians had attacked some whites about five miles
from the garrison.
The injury to the Decatur had been repaired, and
she is now in good condition All went en- board the
Decatur and Active, when the Republic left Seattle
Several Indians who were in the battle on the 26th
have reported to the chief Seattle at the Reservation
that there were seven hundred Indians engaged The
force of the whites consisted of one hundred and ten
men and officers from the Decatur, and about seventy
citizens. .-s-
The Indians have acknowledged themselves beaten,
and it is said, have retired to obtain relnioEcemens,
to try their hand again.
Seattle says that they have determined to destroy
the town, and it is not known whether the 26tb has
changed their plans or not. second attack is ap-
pretended. If the woods not impossible to the
whites, the enemy could soon be driven over the
mountains, but as it's they have every advantage.
The Northern Indians have expressed a desire to
obtain possession Of the Decatur in order to repenish
their ammunition.

4 CONFIDENCE GIRL.-The confidence girl is
an artnl young female, apparently not over fifteen
years of age who plays tricks upon street passengers
to which we were an eye witness the other day She
is dressed with thick punches of rags, which do not
seem to bear any relation to any special garment, and
wears on one foot buskin and on the other boot.
She carries in her hands little box, carefully, as if
it contained hidden treasures and is followed at a
respectful distance by several juveniles of her own
sex, similar to herself IN personal appearance. She
looks ont for corner at which the crossing is block
AIDED by wagons seighs, and teams of various kinds,
and where, of course, temporary groups of waiting
footpassengers are congregated. When she has ap-
preached sufficiently near, she stubs her toe with the
buskin and slips down with the boot and sprnins her
ancle and black and blues her knee Her box has
fallen and spilled its contents, which consist of two
or three little cups and sauces glass duck panted
pussy-cat and stick of sealing which all break
in pieces; but she remains few moments on the
sidewalk, with her head averted unconscious of her
loss and then slowly gets up, smiling sweetly, and
saying to the synpathising by-standers that she is
not much hurt. The wrecked toys then meet herr eye,
and size falls again upon the pavement and wceps bit
terly.. Her companions pick up the fragments, one
by one, and, simultaneously the lookerson take up a
penny collection for the overcome young lady, which
She receives with grateful acknowledgements. The
drivers then disentangle their horses and CARTS the
passengers pass on, and the confidence girl putting
her thumb to her nose, passes on too-[N. Y. Times.

BEAR SHOOTING EXTRAORDINARY IN CALIFORNIA.
Mr.. J. G Perkins, who resides some twelve miles from

PIRATES IN THE CHINA SEAs.-The last number
of the China Mail received, contains the following
inteligence
The Paoushun arrived from Shanghae on tile 18th.
On coming to anchor at Chinlai, Capt Toms com
muncated with the authorities, who informed him
that there was a strong body of pirates near the
point Of Chusan, who had captured three Chanting
iunks valued at 1000 each and that they demanded
Sc 900 ransom, one-third of which had been paid.
At daylight the following morning, Captain Toms
went in search Of the fleet, which he met and totally
DESTROYED with the help of a body of sailors and
mariners, whom Capt. Vansttart had sent from the
Bitteus under command of Lieut.. Brook.
The pil1tical fleet consisted of ten Cantonese
sells and several Nngpo junks, which had been cap
tured and fitted up as tenders. Two of these the

Ningpoo boat under American colors "peppering

On the 2lst she fornda dozen newly arrived West
Coast pirates at Shihpoo, but succeeded in destroy

next day for Shanghae conveying some Shuntlng
junlls short distance up the coast.
The Chinese seem gratied with the result OF their
experiment of repressing piracy by steam, as well
they may be.
