INCIDENTS OF THE VOLUNTEER CAMPs-Or
Sunday morning l22 Indian prisoners were ship
ped from Unontown by a sail vessel to Mendocinc
Reservation; Messec came in with Is prisoner;
just in time to 60 with the crowd. A couple oi
squaws who had lived with white men made a
great outcry; after calling in vain for their low
ers, they exhibited the little mixed breeds, as a
last appeal. The Uniontown people made good
deal of fun of one of the happy fathers.
Lengthy" long Virgnian, having occasion
to look for animals was fred on by several In
dians. Refusing to take his gun from his shoulder,
he walked on, until Messec put twelve buckshot
in an Indian who was in the act Of firing at
"Lengthy" That impcrturable individual see
ing the Indian fall, said: Thank ye, Captain, |
reckon the varmints were shootin' at me "
In one Of the skirmishes German, named
Snyder got tired OF bis ambuscade behind tree,
stepped to an open place and resumed firing with
the Indians blazing away at him. lie said he
had tried it long enough volunteer" fashion,
and wanted chance at 'em in Regular" war
fare. He escaped unhurt
jim. Wilburn, who once distinguished himself
by fighting grizzly bear hand to hand, was sent
with wounded man, and returning discovered
an Indian in the bushes. lie commenced singing
to mislead the savage, and then made a circuit;
when opposite the Indian rose and fired, the ball
grazing Wilburn'5 ear, and for little while par
alyzing his right side The hunter dropped his
gun and made after the assailant with big knife,
but the Indian escaped.
After the recent fight the wounded men being
unable to bear riding, had to be helped along on
foot, seventeen miles; Mr.. Work tainted every
two or three hundred yards; he was badly woun-
ded in the arm
All the volunteers were in Uniontown on Mon
day; they were to divide into three parties.
There are in the neighborhood about 400 Indians,
all painted flaming red, even to the squaws and
children; they declare intention Of exterminating
the whites. During the march back, after the
recent battle, it was discovered that the Indian
women pinchea their children SO that their squal-
ling might discover the locality of the party;
this occasoned the shooting of Calvin Gum.
The foregoing was learned from Mr.. Sbalfer,
the Humboldt mailman, who came in on Wednes-
day night

MCDONALD, Editor.
THE HOMESTEAD.

We have been made angry by reading arSu-
ments favoring repeal of the Homestead Law.
Most abomnable and damnable of all objections
is that which would annul the statute because
dishonest persons take advantage ofts provisions.
Is.ihere any human conservative law not in like
degree exceptionable Is it possible to so con
struct q statute that the cunning of hired knaves
may not raise flaw behind which villain may
lie concealed
The present act does not provide too much Sc
curty for the poor; its provisions are not com
prehensive enough; they do not embrace every
class rightfully demanding protection. Enact
ments authorizing distress for debt are but the
relics of barbarous ages; the time will come, in
the progress of enlightenment, when they will
be remembered as gone-out barbarisms. Though
not prepared for practical Illustration of this
declared principle now, it may be, nevertheless
asserted that the credit system is false and
mischievous one, and one security after another
should be withdrawn until credit shall be given
only on the basis Of established honor, or as an
act Of neighborsbp. Better that the poor man
be denied superhuities, or even some of the nee
essaros of life, than that bis house be taken in
pledge, and his family left to the hostility of the
winds and the colder charity of the people who
unhouse them. The man who will sell a neigh
Dor goods, solely because bis house and home
are given in pledge, is a knave whom to slay
were scarcely murder. But there are humans,
thus base; then why not protect the poor and
unfortunate from their rapacity? It's principle,
taught by all nature, that men and women should
have homes sacred from foreign desecraton
"Foxes have boles birds of the air have nests"
little creatures Of the earth have burrows where
they resist aggression; the eagle, stimulated by
parental love, will tear the hand thrust into her
nest; and, even the feeble ant will attack, with
all her might, the straw by which the economy of
her abode is destroyed.
If the Homestead Law be revised, let it be
more comprehensive; build stronger wall round
the abodes of the poor against the spoliatng
creditor. Let them have some place of refuge,
where an infant standing by the sacred land
mark, and holding in his feeble hand tee invioa-
BILE charter of his home, may say authoritativcly,
to the baiiG, " thus far, only y
