from the War Department at Washington,
conveying the particulars of the retreat of
COL Steptoe before az overpowerlng force OF
various tribes OF Iadians 10 Oregon, and d.
recting arrangements TO be made forthwith
for dispatchiug six companies of recruits to
the Pacific. Ia obedience to the order the
officer waited upon the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company to consult with them as to the
safest and most expeditions mode Of sending
out this large body Of soldiers. 1t was
found impraciicable, in view of the probable
large increase in the California emigration,
growing out of the new gold discoveries on
Frazer River, to take them by the regular
steamer Of the ooh inst. 1t was according
ly determined II charter q special steamer,
and the steamer St. Louis was selected for
that purpose. She will accordingly be put
in order and prOVisoned Immediately, and
will sail on the same day with the Star Of
the West, viz: gu the 2Oth instant; and they
will proceed up from Panama on the fine
large steamer Sonora.
