THE MILITARY FoGcE IN OREGON ANp WAsuINGroN
TERRITORIES. official intelligence has been received
at Washington that the supplies Of mules and horses
that were 50 much needed in Oregon and Washington
Territories have been dispatched hthcr from the
Utah expedition. Considering that the troops were
scattered over wide extent of country The rap.
i'd concentration Of about 2000 troops at WallaWalla
within one month has ccited both the asonishment
and admiration Of the Secretary Of War and those
here associated with him in the conduct Of military
affairs With the addition of the sixth regiment of In.
ianry, now on ills way to the Pacific, it is supposed
the force will be sufficient for present purposes The
troops in Washington territory were probably ready
to march on the lst of August against the Indians
who attacked and defeated Col. Steptoe The extent
Of the detection among the Indians is not known but
so satisfactory are the present military operations
that 1t is confidently anticipated at the War Depart
ment that the campaign will be an exceedingly short
one, and far less expensive than any former similar
against hostile Indians.
