INDIAN MATTERS IN THE NORTH.

INDIAN LIE NOhih.
We have dates from Oregon to the 18th November.
The news is not very important.
The Portland Standard says:
A runner reached Portland the 9TH November,
that Col Wright haa been attack I'D by the Indians
besr Wild HOe Creek but such proves not TO be the
fact The Indians have lot mossted the Colonel.
We learn from . geDuemao who arrived from the
Dslles on Suaoay evening, thst the news brought
down from Wrights camp was SIMPLY that the Cooael
bad invited the Ipdisus to come into the Dslles and
have talk with hun; that they could continue to oc-
cupy their lands previous to the treaty oil 1852 aaa
that he saon was his forces into winter quar-
teu at the Dsllee. We could not Learn the reply
made by the Indians. The presumption, however is
that they win come TO the SHE'S but with what OBJ.
itct il not known to Judging fro the past may
be reasonable to expect rumors OF all kinds relative to
these Indians during the coming winter, but We shall
spptl end no danger t there has been come tangible
Demonstration Of hostility. Tue is too far
advanced to anticipate The open hostility of these (n
dams so long as they can find MUCK NJ yek easy Of
scce,s from The supplies Of the Indian Department.
The same paper ADDS:
If the information which has come to rs from Col.
Wriehts camp be correct the Colonel has virtually
absndoued voluntarily the whole country east OF the
Da,lee to the Indiana. Such an abandonment IL just
what the Indians demanded OF Gov Stevens, as their
oply alternative of peace; while the Governor required
of them the surrender Of the murderes of Bolon, Mat
ce and Others killed before the war; and hat the In
disDs .hopld all 60 upon the refervauons n1ea Ia the
treaty Of 1855 We cannot entertain the belief that
Col Wright from any motive, will be indu ,sd to yield
10 this dicstion Of terms made by the lndsns thus
sut pderpg the whole upper country to the free and
dominant sway Of the red m an. But should this be hs
policy, We may reasonably expect volunteer troops
again in the field 81 soon as tue Spring opsns The
