FROM THE MOUTH OF ROGUE RIvER-From Mr..
Nolan, Orderly Sergeant in Captain Bletzo's Com
pany of Volunteers serving against the Indians in
Southern Oregon we learn that fight came off on
the 18th of this month on Rogue River, about four
miles below the mouth of Illinois River between two
hundred and fifty Indians of the Shasta Costas Ma
cinootoonys Tututnees, Joshna and Uqua tribes and
the company of volunteers under Captain Bletzo,
fortyone in number, who had the day before killed
six Indians on their march down the river and Com
pany of regular troops under Captain Anger, num-
bering about sixty The regulars were on the north,
and the volunteers on the south side of the river.
The regulars commenced the fight at about twelve
O'clock killed six Indians and drove the balance into
and across the river, when the volunteers received
them; and after half hours fighting, completely
routed them, killing twentyfour and taking six pris
oners. Besides the above there were fifty Indians
drowned and missing at least such is the report of the
Indians themselves. The Indians had previously for
titled themselves in position about six miles below
where the fight came off, but had removed to the po
stion where they were found, thinking it stronger
one. The volunteers burnt at both of the positions

built of logs. The regulars lost no men, the volun-

teers had two men wounded and one killed, named
Bray.
On Thursday, the 18th inst, four of the principal
chiefs came into Major Reynolds camp at the mouth
Of Illinois River, and wished to make treaty. He
ordered them to report themselves to Captain Auger
and the day after, some two hundred Indians, men
women and children, went to the camp of Captain
Auger, and gave themselves up to be sent to the
Reservation. They were sent to the mouth of Rogue
river.
We learn further from the same source, that on
Tuesday, the 18th inst, detachment of volunteers
under Lieutenant Cox, Of Captain Blakelys Compa-
ny, numbering twenty-five men, attacked body of
about thirty Indians two miles above Whaleshead on
the coast and defeated them killing three and taking
twenty-five prisoners. After the fight five Of the
Pistol river Indians came in and gave themselves up
Captain Bletzos Company deserves great credit
for their conduct In the above affairs, and we rejoice
the more that most Of them are Crescent City men.

Arrival of the Steamer Columbia.

The steamer Columbia Capt. Dali, from Portland,
Oregon, arrived at San Francisco June 9th, bring
ing dates to the 2lst.
We take the following from the Times of the 2lst.
From THE NoRTH-The news from the north is,
that Col. Wright is endeavoring to make treaties.
Report says thht 300 women and children have been
sent in to the Daes by the Indians. What this act
portends we do not undertake to say 1t may be fa-
vorabe to peace it may be an Indian ruse to have
another opportunity to murder our white citizens.
Gov. Curry intends to leave on the next steamer
for Washington city
Col. B. Stark informs us that he will accompany
the Gov. on his contemplated trip to Washington
We learn from Mr.. Powers, that the new Light
House has arrived at Cape Disappointment. Some
two and half years ago, Light House was erected
but it was too small for the lantern intended to be
used in it. The large light has arrived and the pres
ent structure is to be so changed as to receive the
lantern furnished. The lantern is one of the first
class Fresnel.
The Oregonian contains the following letter from
the Dalles;
"a pack train came in yesterday having left COL
Wrights camp the 9th. The fort and brid lee across
the Natchess river were finished as they report and
Col. Wright was to cross ihe 10th. Much talk, it
seems has been had about peace, by Indians visiting
camp. Kamiakin had promised from time to time to
come over, but had not done so
Seventy or eighty Indians, including Couchmen
and children,) had escaped from Kamiakin and came
to Col Wright, who sent them in company with the
pack train. They say Gen. Palmer sent them to
Kamiakin, who claimed them as his people. The
Yakimas treated them very badly. The Chief would
not allow them to leave, until they stole away from
him. There others will leave the hostile camp as
soon as they can get their families away. Of the
death of Capt. Hembree, these Indians say, the Ind
dians that attacked Hembrees party were just about
to retreat, when they the Bosons rum then they
rushed on. Capt. H. killed one Indian and wounded
another, after being left by his men. They say he
was but slightly wounded and when the Indians came
up he plaed for his life. The Indians hestated and
well nigh concluded to spare him, because he had
been so left by his men, but finally killed him. This
is the story of these Indians, who then in the
hostile camp and doubtless know Take it, as the
Indian statement, for what it is worth.
Hostile Indians fish, as l understand, all along the
Nachess and Yakima rivers, and bring in salmon and
sell the soldiers daily.
CHINA TRADE.-The Oregonian says: Messrs
Leonard & Green of this city, have opened direct
trade between Oregon and China. The barque Me
tropolitan belonging to the above firm, recently ar
rived direct from Hongkong, with large cargo con-
ssting of sugars, syrups salt and China goods wares
and merchandise, all Of which find ready sale in this
market.

From the South.

We Gull the following items from the Santa Cruz
Sentinel of the 2lst:
CRoPs.-All accounts from the Paiaro valley agree
that the late crops will be short in comparison to
previous years. on account of an nsufciency of late
rains in the spring. there having been much less there
than in other portions Of the county. On the highest
lands about Santa Cruz, we hear of smut in the
wheat, otherwise the crops are all good. There is
good chance for full crop of wheat, when compared
with the last three years. There will be full crops
of barley, beans, and oats-and slight diminution
in the crop of potatoes The quantity of beans will
far exceed that of any previous year-it is estimated
that there is two thousand acres in the county, this
will fully compensate for the short coming of wheat
and potatoes The high prices of produce, conse.
quent upon the general failure of crops in other parts
OF the State, will secure to our farmers rich har-
vest, it is the first season for them since 1853
ARTEs1AN WELLs.-We learn that the Hon.
William Blackburn is making preparations to com.
mence boring an Artesan we'll on his farm in the
bottom south of Santa Cruz. This will test the
question, whether Artesian wells can be got with
reasonable expense in the vicinity If the enterprise
prove successful it will add greatly to the wealth and
prosperity Of Santa Cruz.
GARLICs.-We notice new article of export from
this county, several tons of garics have been raised
by the native Californians for the San Francisco
market. Some of them have been forwarded, and
commanded readily three hundred dollars per ton.
SANTA Cruz WHARF.-Our enterprising lime
manufacturers, Davis & Jordan, have commenced
operations in building this wharf on the site granted
them by the last Legislature for that purpose; in
this undertaking all persons in the county feel q
lively interest.

BEAUTIFUL LEGEND,

~ r. Willis writes from Idewild-" When Copway
J!boeway friend, was here, day two ago, he told
1lioren an Indian legend of the water-y, how it ca
earth-heavenly flower that ts One of our fair neil
ors, who happened to be listener, thus rendered
eautiiui story in verse;:
In the azure vaulted sky,
And sald-"I am weary here all alone,
Doing nought but throb and sigh.
Far down in the vallies of earth l see
The red mems children at play;
The innocent sound of their careless glee
Rises faint on the air all day.
will speak to the braves at their council FIRE,
And ask them to let me dwell
Where here earthly love may warm my heart
With its human, holy SPELL"
So they told the star she might at night come
when the wood and wigwam were still,
And sit on the mountain and throw her light
Through the vale and along the hill.
She came all trembling, but when the morn
Woke the birds and the children again,
The star sat greving and all forlorn,
For she knew that her hope was vain.
"Not near enough yet can hear and see
The red mans children at play,
But they waste neither wish nor thought on me
From the morn till the close Of day"
Then they bade her alight on the tree top old,
They lulled them asleep with its song;
And she rock'd and valid and shiver'd with cold.
Impatient the whole night long
At length the children awoke once more,
And she heard the pine-tree Sigh
But took no heed of the watching star,
Between them and the sky.
She saw them skimrning in light canoe,
Ger the lovely lake below,
But the longing that hourly tenderer grew,
How could she make them know.
She pondered another night away,
And at length when The morning broke
She dropped from her height with fearful plunge
And sank in the silver lake.
The star was shivered But every ray
Was caught by faithful wave!
Each scnant beam grew a flower,
Where she thought to find grave!
And when the red maiden, in her light canoe,
Seeks lilies for bosom and brow
The star is content, for she softly says
Z" have conquered They love me now!"
