FORT WALLA-WALLA, Oregon, Aug 6. 1858
Now we are collecting troops for what is
likely to be the most desperate contest we have ever
had. The programme is all settled at last, and two
columns are to be formed to enter the Indian coun-
try. One, under Major Garnett from Simcoe; the
other from this place, to enter the Spokan country
and meet the tribes which defeated Col. Steptoe-
The latter is under Col. Wright, Ninth Infantry
short time since the detachment of the Third Ar
tillery arrived here after twelve days march from
Fort Dallcs. They are ordered to advance
sixty miles into the Indian country, and throw up
fortifcatons on Snake river, to await our arrival
with the rest ofthe column. They probably march
tomorrow.
In the meanwhile, we learn from scouts that the
hostile tribes in force to the number Of nearly
5000 Warriors awaiting our arrival, and they swear
that as long as single warrior is left we shall not
cross Snake river. They are the most warlike In
dans on the continent, and thoroughly armed. Our
column will consist of but seven hundred men, OF
whom company will have to be left at the Fort on
Snake river. We expect they will meet us, for they
are flushed with their victory over Col Stcptoe
and the probability is, we shall find them four to
one. One Of these DAYS, after some hundreds OF
valuable lives are lost, Government will believe in
the necessity of having troops enough in the field
to Overawe the Indian tribes.

The New York papers state that an extensive
forgery of drafts by three young Cubans has just
been brought to light. The accused parties are
Charles p. Deacroix, Frederick Ludwig, and
Pedro Alvarez Rolscherez, and over 100000 is
stated to be the aggregate amount of the forgeries.
few days ago Deacroix presented draft for
S9400, purForting to have been drawn by Justo,
Mazarra Il Co., of Havana, on Messrs. Curtis d
Dyckman of No. Sc Beaver-street, in this City.
Messrs Curtis & Dyckman had just received advi-
ces from the Havana house by whom the draft
puported to have been drawn, informing them that
their cashier had absconded, and notifying them to
pay only certain specified drafts. The draft was at
once seen to be forgery and Deacroix, upon be-
ing questioned, stated that he had received it from
Frederick Ludwig. the former cashier of Justo,
Navarro & Co. Through information given by
Delacroix, Ludwig, and young man, named Rol-
scherez were arrested yesterday at the Bancroft
House, where they were stopping. In the posses
sion OF ltoischerez was found forged draft Tor
S2,5O0 OF Justo, Navarro 4 Co., on Hall Co., OF
Charleston, South Carolina, and bearing the gen
une acceptance of the latter firm No other drafts
than those specified have yet come to lIght, put 1t
is confidently stated that nearly SlOO 600 OF similar
forged drafts have been sent to Europe. The ac-
cused parties following their arrest were taken be-
fore Justice Welsh, who refused bail for them, and
sent the papers forthwith before the Grand Jury.
Pending the decision ofthe Grand Jury, the pris-
oners were locked up in the Tombs. The three
prisoners are young and fne-looking men, but take
the whole affair very coolly.
