Fight with the pitt Rivr Indians-Tw.n-
ay-three Indians Killed.

by letter just received by Lieutenant J.
h Mccall, from Lieut.. Crook, dated Fort
Crook, July 28th, we are placed in possess
sion OF the following interesting particular,
in relation to the war against the Pitt River
Indians. On the 9th Lieut. Crook returned
to the fort from ten days scout in and east
of the Big Vallay.' The first part of their
scout was dry and unsuccessful, as the End.-
ans had all left the Valley and its vicinity.
GIN the seventh day out they came on a sim
gle track, and following it some distance
killed one Indian. The Indians of an ada
cent rancheria heard the report of their
guns, fed, and all escaped to the mountains
On the evening of the eigth day they espied
small camp in the edge of large valley
sine sxty.fEe miles east of the fort, and
struck camp the next morning at two o'clock
and made daylight attack.
The,Indians were encamped under rocky
ledge, and when the troops got Immediately
over them, one of them gave the alarm.
when, to the surprise of Lieut. Crook, nearly
'or quite one hundred and fifty warriors
sprang up and broke for the plains. In the
gallant Leutenant's own language, the
troops pitched in pell.mell, and had glori-
ous fight, leaving twenty three dead on the
ground that they know of, and nine wound
ed, beside, there must have peen q great
many more killed and wounded that they
could not tell any thing about If his pro-
visions had held out, he would have killed
many more, but he was obliged to hurry off
the field and return to camp. On the same
day of the fight they marched about thirty
miles on their way back to the fort. Our
townsman, Mr.. Jacob Marks, was along with
Lieut.. Crook, (the only voluntecr,) on his
scout, and in the fight, and killed two Indi-
ans with his own hand.
Too much merit cannot be awarded Lieut.
Crook for his great efficiency and intrepid
daring in the prosecution of this war.

Examina tioms of the Treasury.

The following article from the Ohio State
Journal of Monday, gives, as we are assur-
ed by competent authority, the true account
of the affairs to which it refers:
THE EXAMINATION OF THE TREAsURY-THE
LAW OF 1856-Gov. CHASE.
Since Saturday, the Auditor of State,
Mr. Wright, informs us that we were mis-
taken in supposing that the Governor and
Auditor had not acted under the law of
1856 in regard to the examination of the
condition OF the Treasury. They did act un-
der it, though inasmuch as the General AS
sembly had itself assumed the duty Of ma
king the examination by special commit
Ice of investigation to act in the recess,
there seemed TO be no real occasion for such
action, at the time specified in the. act
! for making the examination, the Governor
advised the Auditor of his readiness to ap-
point suitable person to aid him in ma
king it. The Auditor thereupon without
any previous notice to the Treasurer Mr..
Gibson, entered the Office and proceeded to
make an examination of the money and
books of the department as required by
law. He examined the books and counted
the money and papers in the Treasury and
found them to be correct-just as the in
vestgating committee did subsequently,
and he so stated TO the Governor. Finding
everything apparently correct, and enter
tanning no doubt that the money i'll the
Treasury ascertained by him to be there
upon actual count, and by the balances to
the credit ofthe State, with the repositories,
really belonged to the State, he did not think
it necessary to call upon the Governor for
the appointment. of any person TO act In
conjunction with him, and the Governor,
advised rs he was, that the accounts of the
Treasurer corresponded with those of the
Auditor, and that the balance appearing to
the credit of the State was actually in the
! Treasury, had no reason whatever to deem
a further examination necessary. So 1t
appears that the whole law has been COM
piled with, and that nothing was left un-
done by the Governor. He performed his
duty TO the very letter in this matter as he
has in every other since he has been in Of
fee. So that the last loophole with which
Mr.. Morgan, Mr.. Cox, and DR.. Trevitt,
hoped for mere partizan purposes to catch
the Governor, has been closed.
But it will be asked, if Mr.. Wright made
this examination, and Mr.. Kelly made an
examination, and the Committee of 1nves-
tigation made an examination into the con-
dition of the Treasury, and found the
money to be there, how was it accomplish
ed? The answer is simple. Mr.. Gibson,
in his desire TO screen Mr.. Breslin, nc
doubt borrowed the money for the time be
ing, from certain banks, and when he
thought the examination was closed, re.
turned itagain. The knowledge, however
that the law of the Republican Legislature
existed and would be enforced by Governor
Chase, and that an examination would be
made when he was not prepared for it, was
one of the chief causes which led to an ac-
acknowledgements of the deficit, and of the de-
lacation by Breslin of five hundred and
fifty thousand dollars.

DEPUTY HUsBANDs.--In Utah, they
have way of appointing deputy husbands
to look after matters and things when the
genuine article has gone from home. We
find the following notice of this singular
practice in one of our exchanges:
When married man is called by con-
ference to foreign mission, he has the
privilege. as they call it, before leaving
home, of choosing some one to take the
over sight of his cattle, goods, and whatever
he may possess, to provide for aud overlook
the family, and become the protempore
husband of his wife. The ostensble reason
for the arrangement is to prevent the hus-
band from suffering any loss' during his
absence on missionary labors, since the
greatness of his future kingdom" depends
upon the number of children he has here.
Carry out the idea, the wife is handed over
to deputy husband, who maintains his
positions in the family till the husband re-
turns.

ROBERT J. WALKERS RIcuEs.-The
New York Mirror, whose editor has known
Gov. Walker intimately and thoroughly
for ten years." says of him; CATER hand
ling some hundreds of millions of the
public money, he left the office as poor rs
a primitive Christian. Since then he may
have bought stocks and lands and mines
that have made him rich. But when was
it counted crime for fortune to reward
the sagacity even of a speculator? In
1843, Walker invested 8 ,750 in the pur-
chase of land, on what is now the city OF
Fon du Lac, for which he has been offered,
within few months, more than $500, 600
and he has also bought, years ago, Goa
and quicksilver mines, which are making
him q millionaire.

The Deteoit Tribune gives an account
of an aerial adventure by Mr.. John Steiner
of Philadelphia, which is remarkable. lie
started from the town of Erie, on Thurs
day afternoon, intending to cross the lake
TO Canada The wind was in the right di-
rection and he went ahead merrly at the
height of three miles, with nearly the
whole lake in sight, and had nearly reached
the Canada shore when a head wind threw
him back. Seeing that he would have 10
pass the night in the air, over the lake, per
haps in storm, and observing IA propeller
in his course, he determined to drop into
the lake and be picked up, which tickllsh
feat vas performed. He first struck the
water nearly three miles from the
propeller, when the balloon began bound
ing along the waves, passed near the pro-
peIler, and was caught by boat after a
chase, but when the aeronaut was saved
the sailors had to permit the balloon to go
on its way rejoicing, as it had disposition
to run away with the boat.

WHERE DID THE MONEY Go?-The
Ohio State Journal says: 1--WE understand
that the papers have been made out and
will be filed in the Clerks office this after
noon, by the Attorney General, bringing
a suit against John G. Breslin, and anoth-
er against VIM. H. Gibson, for the recov-
cry of the money lost by them to the State.
Suits are also brought against the sureties
of w. II. Gibson, to recover the amount
of their bonds. The suits are to be tried
before Judge Matthews in the Superior
Court of Franklin county. These suits
take precedence by law over all others on
the docket
