Terrible Fight on Board n steamer.

The steamer Columbia, which arrived Ut the
Bay on Saturday morning, from the north,
brought from Fort Vancouver, W. T.. two Indi-
ans, one chief, known as"Rogue River John" ("
and the other his son. They were in charge of
= sergeant Of the army, and were being sent to
Benicia, to be taken charge Of by the command
ing officer of the Pacific Division. 1t seems
they have been very troublesome in Oregon,
and are regarded as the best warriors on this
coast. When placed on board the steamer they
were heavily ironed, but the sergeant, in pur-
suance of orders, took the irons Off, after the
about three O'Clock, A. NJ, while the steamer
was at anchor on Humboldt Bar, the Indians
put out all the lights in the steeragc, and then
commenced an attack on the sergeant who had
selves Of his revolver and other weapons. The
noise soon awoke the steerage passengers, some
Of whom rushed towards the cabin, crying
murder" The officer Of the deck, Mr.. Lewis,
called Mr.. Nolan, the first mate, who jumped
out of bed, and with Mr.. Lewis aud another
jumped into the steerage, where the Indians
we're beating the soldier in most unmerciful
manner. After desperate conflict, in which
several shots were exchanged on both sides, the
Indians, finding they would be OverpOwered,
dropped down and feigned deao. One passen-
ger was shot in the breast, and dangerously
wounded and three others were badly cut. The
chief had an iron bar in his hand, with which he
struck the mate a severe blow on the shoulder;
the blow was intended for his head. One wo-
man was badly cut in the face, and the Indian
made an attempt to strike her babe. but she
warded the blow OF with her arm, which was
also severely cut. She then raised her child to
the mattrass, and secured herself under it until
the fracas was over, when she came on deck
Her husband received a slight blow. After the
Indians were overpowered they were with much
diHculty brought on deck, for the passengers
were anxious to swing them at the yard.arms
They we're badly hurt, both having sabre OH,
