Northern Indians.

Just as Gen. Harney has reached the Pa
cihc coast to put an end to the Indian war in
Oregon and Washington Territories, it seems
that the war is ended The Spolans and the
Ceur de Alenes, and other hostile tribes. have
sued for peace with the "Bostons," and peace
has been made. On the 18th ult, at a coun
ell held with the Ceur dc Alenes, near Step
toes battle ground, tleir head chief, named
Vincent, acknowledged that his people had
committed great crime in their attack on
Col. Steptoe, and begged that they might be
forgiven for the same The Nez Perces, who
have been for some time friendly with the
whites, proved themselves exceedingly useful
in negotiating between the hostile tribes and
the "Bostons." Had the Nez Perces, who
have some seventeen hundred Hudson Bay
CO.. muskets in their possession, been engag-
ed in this Indian alliance against the whites,
t e war would have been far more formida-
BILE The Spokans met the "Bostons" in coun-
ci on the 2lth of September. Meleapsy,
the chief, held very different tone at this
council from what he had held a short time
before. Before the last hostilities broke ont,
he dictated a letter to Gen. Clark, of the Pa
cife Division, to the following effect:
Perhaps You think that we are poor and
desire peace We are neither poor nor wish
peace If you want peace, you must sue for
it, and in doing so, you must take care that
you do not come beyond the battle ground.
lie talked very differently, as We have
said, at the late council There he said;
am now aware that have committed
great crime; am very sorry for it my heart
is cast down, But heard your speech just
made in the council, and have confidence
in what you said, and thank you for it.
am ready to abide 10y the terms of the treaty.
Melcapsy is well satisfied now, that he
cannot whip the whole United States, what
ever extravagant notions he may have enter
tanned previously
A correspondent ofthe San Francisco Her
aid says that it was with great difficulty that
the Indians were collected together in coun-
ell after the late battles, having been widely
scattered, and hid in almost inaccessible for
ests. They were searched out and in
priest known as Father Jeset, who has had
charge, for II years. of the mission of the
Sacred Mountains" situated in the very heart
of the Ceur d'Alene Mountains. lie has done
much good among the Nez Perces, many of
whom are converts to the Catholic faith.

AooDENT.-Mrs Bond, an aged lady from
Grizzly Flat, was thrown from wogon on
Wednesday afternoon, says the Plaeerville
Democrat, between Diamond Springs and
the former place, and in her fall broke her
right wrist and severely bruised her left.
She, her son and niece were sitting on a
spring seat; and the front wheel of the wag-
on having accidentally slid into deep hole,
the Jar broke the seat and threw her with
great violence on rock near the road. With
great fortitude, with both arms in a sling,
she rode into Diamond Springs, distance of
fourteen miles, where she arrived about ten
o'clock, after having suffered intense pain for
eight hours ere she received medical assist
ance Dr. Cook Immediately after her arri-
val waited upon her, and set the broken
bone. She is recovering.

ARRIVAL OF FEMALE PAssENGERs.-The ship
I,onium, consigned to Branshaw Il Co., San
Francisco, from Boston, which arrived in port
Oct 18th, brought out thirty five unmarried
female psseangers. They are all young wo.
men, of good character, says the Bulletin,
and intend to enter into service here. 1t is
understood that another shipment, of about
the same number of girls, is now on the way
and will soon arrive. There also arrived by
the Iconium five married ladies, viz: Mrs
Holden, Mrs, Priest, Mrs. Bowling, Mrs
Hatch, and Mrs. Gordon.

SURGERY.-Charles Wooge, a German, was
struck on the thigh by falling bedrock, on
the East Fork, about four weeks ago, saws
the Trinity Journal, of Saturday, and the
femoral artery was obliterated causing gan
creme of the lower leg and foot Abscess
formed above the knee, and the leg and foot
mortified in a shocking manner. On We'd
nesday the limb was amputated above the
knee, by Dr. Trask, assisted by Drs. Gordon,
Thomas and Harris,-none Of whom had any
thing to do with previous treatment The
femoral artery was found destroyed at the
place of cutting, but nine small arteries seem
ed to supply the functions Modification
extended half way to the knee, where slough
had commenced; the flesh was entirely de-
stroyed to the bone. Spectators say that the
operation was most skilfully performed,
though the limb presented most horrible
spectacle. Two ambrotypes were taken of
the diseased leg and foot by Mr.. Norcross.
The sufferer will, most likely, recover-if SO
1t will be considerable achievement for the
surgeons.

CB-On "Wednesday evening last, says the
Mountain Messenger, we were shown at the
office Of Messrs. Everts, Wilson & Co.. some
of the most beautiful quartz specimens we
ever saw, in one piece, which weighed 64
lbs. 1t was estimated to contain not less
than 5000 worth of gold. In another piece
which weighed 20 lbs, the sum of $1,000 was
thought to be in it. The ledge from which
these specimens were taken is 40 feet wide
and owned by the Eureka Quartz Company.
Frank Mume who furnished the above in
formation and specimens, also informs us that
numbers of deer and grizzly are making for
the lower valleys; three of the latter having
appeared in the vicinity of Nelson Creek.
Fish are very abundant.

Douglas ana his Frceport speech.


this State, is very clear, from the fact that
the Republicans in Illinois continue to de
nounce him. Read the following from the
pen of one of his enemies. 1t will tell Its
own tale. Amidst the manifest distortions
which it contains, you will see the undaunted
spirit of Douglas, as a true National Demo
erat, shining forth;
From the Chicago Journal
At the Junction, some days since, Douglas
declined to answer his venerable friend,
DR.: Root, of Elgin, when the questions be-
came troublesome.
At Pontiac, the Little Giant took to water
after the same fashion. He solicited ques-
tions from the audience, and the following
were propounded,
lst. You say in your speech at Freeport
that the people ola Territory have the power
to exclude slavery by non-action. Do you
mean by excluding slavery, they have,
through their Territorial Legislature, the
power to declare that slaves brought in vol
UNFAIRLY by their masters, SHALL by that act,
become free? Ifnot, how can they exclude
slavery? and if so, how, will that tally with
the Supreme Court decision?
Douglas flew into passion and said that
his interrogation only asked the question "to
create confusionp The only reply he made
was that he chad answered it at Freeport >
and then abused the gentleman who interro-
gated him. The editor of the Sentinel says :;
Seeing that Mr.. Mcdowell, who propoun-
ded the first, was unwilling to ask any more
questions, not desiring to be abused any fur
ther, we stepped upon the platform and pro
pounded the following:
"If person holds slave in a Territory
bv virtue of the Constitution of the United
States, in which there are no "police regula-
tons" enforcing his right to hold such proper
ty, and that slave goes into Free State, can
he be recovered as Fugitive Slave under
the provisions of the Fugitive Slave lawT
"When we put this question to him he
looked at us as though he would take perfect
delight in eating us up, or would derive eN-
quisite pleasure in knocking the daylights
out of us Approaching us with upraised
hand and flashing eye, shaking his shaggy
locks, and fairly trembling with rage, he an
swered: Yes sir he can be recaptured un-
der the Fugitive Slave LawP He then com
menced volley of billingsgate which would
make fshmongers blush, calling us an Aboli-
tionist that we were in the habit of going
round lecturing in church Easements, making
Abolition harangues after the fashion of
Lovejoy and other pincushion lecturers"
His tormentors would not let him up, how
ever, and popped the following:
"Would not the spirit of the Dred Scott
decision annul all tie acts of the Territorial
Legislature in case they enacted laws 'un-
friendly to the holding of slaves in Terrific
ry, while a Territory"
Douglas now fairly raved, and declared
that "no gentleman would ask such ques-
tion !" and declined to be Intercepted further.
It's very evident from the above, that
Douglass views in his Freeport speech don't
suit the Republicans at all.

The WooDs ON FRE-For the last few
nights says the Shasta Republican, the hills
to the West of Shasta have presented mag
nifcent appearance. A thousand fires shoot
up their flames in the darkness, grandly illu-

is seen every evening in that quarter of the
heavens, and sinks behind the horizon direct
ly opposite, grave suspicious are entertained
that the tail of the monster has set the world
