INDIAN WAR IN OREGON.
From a letter received from a very
reliable and highly esteemed friend in
. Oregon Territory, we take the follow
ing account Of the recent Indian
wal in that region. Until its receipt
we confess We have been greatly at
loss what opinion to form upon the
matter, but this settles the question In
our mind. The writer we have known
from our youth up and would believe
as freely as though we had Witnessed
. with onr own eyes. That there may
have been some tresspasses committed
on the part of the whites is possible,
but no tresspass can justify the indes-
criminate butchery which has been
carried on in Oregon by the Indians
there. after a careful study Of the
Indian character, with prejudice In
their favor, made so by the long song
of aOh, how the whites have treated
the poor Indian" we have come to the.
conclusion that violence and blood are
the prominent traits of the Indian
character, and that they Will manifest
it always upon the whites as well as on
their neighboring tribe, unless fear
or selfish purposes prevent. Read of
the efforts of the Missionary and civil
Ezatione everywhere to make something
out of the Indian, and witness the al
most total failure to produce one single
instance Of true greatness or innate.
humanity. Think what has just been.
transpiring on the Plains in the murder
. of Col. Babbitt and his men, and we.
fear that unless something is soon done
by our Government, more such scenes
will soon transpire.
The Pawnees, in addition to the.
Cheyennes on our West, are beginning
to be very troublesome, and we learn
the Pawneesu up the Missouri are claim
ing the lands between the AvoBay and
Running Water which we purchased
from the 0mahas, and under this pre-
tence will soon begin to make it an
excuse for depreciation upon the settle
ments. +
Our correspondent, under date of
July Both, says :INebraskian.
"Our Indian. war, as we hope, isnow
drawing to a close. The regular
soldiers in this Territory are of little
service o.. account to the country. The
Indians boast that only 100 warriors
of them can whip a whole Regiment
ofRegulars. To our brave volunteers,
always the first soldiers in our Indian
war, if not in any war, is to be given
the credit of ~conquering a peace.
SIN this war we have lost many Of
our best citizens. Men, women and
children have. been utchered byscoref
towns burned and sacked-wholt
valleys pillaged and desolated. Ant
yet. Gen. Wool tells the people o.
Washington City and the Atlantic
States that we have no war, and thai
our Indian difficulties have beer
brought on by the rashness of our citi.
gems.
"He has been to our Territory q
worse enemy than our bloodiest Indiar
chief. This do-nothing policy has cos
us not less than 100 valuable lives
A miserable ARRAY in Kansas, at which
10 or Il only are killed, is made
national cry and a national calamity
but the indescriminate butchery of 10l
innocent persons of both sexes and al
ages, is winked at by the public pres
of the Atlantic States as a trivial affair
or as a mere question o~fveracity, wit
the denial of Gen. Wool and his min

As a young mar was returning to
his home at a late hour the other night,
in Cincinnati, he observed q young
woman plunge into the canal. He i'm
mediateiy followed her, and after di-
wing several times, caught her dress
and carried her ashore. 1t was a long
time before she recovered her breath,
but when shehad sufficiently, he found
her intention to commit suicide was
caused by disappointed love. She was
a music teacher; agentleman hadbeen
paying his addresses to her for a long

When the life and ~forgeries Of
Huntington come to be written, he
wouldbe found to have ~rivalled Monroe
Edwards in this Eillainy. With less
talents, he has managed to put forged
paper in. circulation for over S400,0 900
while Monroe Edwards was convicted
for having forged $4,000. At that
time the commercial world was ap-
palled by the magnitude and adroit-
ness of the Edwards forgery and his
name and his deeds were chronicIee all
over the world as a warming to the
rising youth of the day. Since then
California has been discovered and its
gold has vastly augmented b e-corrup-
ton Of the country. D~efalcations and
forgeries now count by hundreds of
thousands, and even millions. This
fast young man, Huntington, turns up,
who has been to California and has
tried his fortune at Panama and other
places, and finally in Wall Street; for
the present he has brought his career
to a terminus. But tie finale should
not be lost as a warning to others Of
his fast tribe, who are following his
footsteps to ruin.-Ddg Book.

An Impatient JurYman.


An Arkansas correspondent of the New Or
leans Picayune gives the following as authen-
tic:
You are all fond of cracking jokes at the
expense of Arkansas; now here is one on your
State, absolutely true. | got it from an eye
witness.
The district court in one of your northern
parishes was in session-'twas the first day
of the court; time, after dinner Lawyers and
others had dined and were sitting out before
the hotel, and long, lank unsophisticated
countryman came up and unceremonlsusly
made himselfone of 'em, and remarked: "Gen
tlemen, wish you would go on with this
court, for l want to go home-I left Betsy a
looking OUT ''Ah!'' said one of the lawyers,
''and pray sir, what detains you at court?"
"Why, sir,'' said the countryman, 'tPm
fetched here as a jury, and they say if go
home they will have to find me- and they
moutn't do that as live good piece"
"What jury are you on?" asked lawyer.
''What jury?"
"Yes, what jury. Grand or traverse jury?
"Grand or travis jury? dad-fetched if l
know"
"Well,'' said the lawyer, did the judge
charge you?'
"Well, squire said he, .the little fell that
sits up in the pulpit and kinder bosses it over
the crowd, gin US talk, but | don't know
whether he charged anything or not"
The crowd broke up in a roar of laughter,
and the sheriff called court.

THE MEXICAN Observation-Disclosures
Comoniort, says the N. Y. Evangelist, is en-
8 gagged in the most important and sweeping re-
form ever undertaken in Mexico in seculariz-
ing the Catholic Church, and dispossessing it
: of some of its illgotten treasures. The diff
culties which have obstructed the progress of
that State hitherto to be attributed mainly
to the overwhelming power of the Church.
The governments which were not pleasing to
the priests had no stability. Where there
were two parties contending for the suprema-
cy which ever the church inclined to- succeed
ed. The hierarchy is overwhelming
In the city Of Mexico, containing five thou
sand houses, worth eighty millions of dollars,
the church owns one half, and the income has
been estimated by the minister at twenty mil
lions of dollars Waddy Thompson, our for
mer minister at Mexico, was of the opinion
that one quarter of the whole country belong
ed to the priests. The quantity of gold, sill
yer, and jewels in the churches is great enough
to pay the whole foreign and domestic debt
single balustrade, about three hundred feet
long in the Cathedral of the capital, is suppos-
ed to be worth million of dollars.
The Church has proved too strong for Pres
ident Comonfort, and he has probably had tc
succumb, for at the last dates two armies were
marching on the capital to overthrow his ad
ministration.

pressive of the man. The sublime feryor o.
his patriotic soul breathes from the marble
and animates it into glowing life. The right
hand grasps firmly the hilt Of the drawn and
supporting sword, from which he is about to
seek peace for his country. The left arm, hall
raised, rests lightly on his breast, the hand
out-turned and partly open, as if its movement
would be to throw aside all things for the one
great and sacred object. The superb head is
raised, the countenance turned towards heaven,
bearing an expression Of lofty resolve and ear
nest appeal. 1t is difficult to describe the
mingled sweetness, dignity and fervor that
mark the countenance.

rKaMs OF sUBscREPTloN:
Appalling Burning of a Ship.

The following details of horrible case o
piracy and burning of ship at Macao have
been received at Lloyds: "The Dutch shiu
Banca, Captain Heymans, 700 tons burthen
with between 300 and 400 emigrants Coolies
for Havana, put back to Macao about month
since, the dispatch is dated Hong Kong,
August 10,) with her water casks leaking and
cargo shifted having encountered boisterous
weather, and on reaching the outer roads
brought up to an ancher. There she remained
repairing, the officers exercising strict vigilance
in preventing the coolies gong ashore, for fear
they should make their escape. For three
weeks, whatever discomfort may have pre-
vailed, no fears cf an outbreak would seem to
have been entertained, until Chinese doc
tor warned the captain that mischief was
brewing. In preparing for such contingency
as a raising of the coolies, the small arms were
placed ON the poop, and two guns were loaded
with grape and pointed forward. About nine
O'Clock of the night of the 9th, the disturbance
commenced, and the crew took refuge on the
poop. The captain first fired shot or two
overhead, but as that had no effect, and the
coolies advanced towards them, yelling fright
fully, armed with Delaying pins, bricks torn
from the cooking places. &C., the captain gave
orders to his men to fire, and Immediately a
volley was poured into the infuriated mass
from the two guns, and also from the small
arms.
This had the effect of checking and putting
down the riot, and the coolies were driven be-
low, but they sought revenge by setting fire to
the Ship and in few minutes the captain was
appalled, by seeing the flames issuing up from
the fore hatch. A frightful scene of carnage
followed; the coolies rushed up on the deck,
and no doubt murdered all the officers of the
ship. None Of them nor the captain were af-
forwards seen. The ship was soon in blaze,
fore and aft. In about an hour the mainmast
fell with a crash, then the fore and mizen, and
about midnight the magazine blew up with a
tremendous explosion. The ship was instant
ly hurled to fragments, and vast number Of
poor creatures, who, clinging on the chains,
,perished with her. OF the number who were
on board, including the crew and passengers,
about 500 only $50 escaped with their lives;
the remainder were either burnt in the ship OF
Sdr6wqed. The affair has produced a great
excitement at Hong Kong.
