Later from OregOn---RepOrted Indian
Massacre--Murderer Sentenced.
SAN FRANcrsco, Aug 26th.
BY the arrival of the steamer Pacific, we
have files of Portland papers to Aug. 22d.
A rumor prevailed at the Dalles that Capt.
Wallen's command consisting of l4O well
armed and equipped men, had been massa
creed by the Snake Indians at Warm Springs.
A private letter to Portland, says the Adver-
tser, reports this disaster as coming from the
Indians, and says that the Indian Agent at
the Dalles puts faith in it. This correspon-
dent adds: "Capt. Wallen's command con-
ssts of company E, lst dragons, commanded
by Lieut.. Swcetzer, about sixty strong, some
sixty sabres Of company II of the same regi.
ment, about forty privates, &c, Of company

EDITOR DEMOCRAT: AS the election draws
nigh, our quiet town receives its share Of the
electioneering candidate. Since Messrs. De-
Long and Lawson opened the campaign in
this place and set the ball in motion, it has
been continually rolling on to victory and if
am not mistaken, the 7th of September next
will roll out handsome majority for the
whole Douglas Democratic County Ticket.
That Lecompton County Convention held
in this place did too great an injustice to
some of our citizens, and others in this vicini
tv, who were before it as candidates for nom.
ination, for them or their friends to forget or
forgive it very soon. But some of the simon
pure Lecomp onites nre making desperate
fight to sustain themselves on this Bar-their
Banner Precinct. All their big guns, and
little guns, have been here, from Gov. Weller
and Milton S. Latham, down to f. L. Hatch
and Ben. Pat Hugg. They have been her
aided into our town by the firing of artillery
and the beating of drums But it won't do !;
their arguments don't take with the great
masses of the people.
We have large number of foreign voters
in this place, who are beginning to under
stand the true issues of the day, and are
coming out from Buchananism and Lecomp-
tonism, and are taking bold stand on the
side of Popular Sovereignty and true Democ-
racy.
We had an enthusiastic meeting on the
dred persons assembled in front of the Union
Hotel, to listen to speeches from Bryan, Nc
Carly and others. McCarty led off in an
able and efficient speech of half an hour, and
was followed by Judge Bryan, who spoke for
an hour in his most happy and pleasing STYLE
being frequently interrupted by applause
He showed up President Buchanan and his
corrupt Administration in its true light. 1t
was an able and telling speech. Hon. E. D.
Wheeler being present, was loudly called for.
He came forward and took the stand, and
made good, practical, common sense speech,
which was well received. Judge Singer was
next called for. He came forward and stated
his position in a clear and forcible manner
said he had no side-issues to meet, no com
bination companies to fight against, but if the
people thought that he was honest and capa-
BILE, TO vote for him-if not, vote for his
opponent And thus ended our pleasant and
agreeable meeting. E.

FRENCH MILITARY EDUoATIoN.-The French
Military Schools are said to be the best in the
world. A writer describing an exhibition
at the Joinville Military School, which con-
fines itself almost entirely to the teaching Of
gymnastics and other bodily exercises which
impart strength and skill, says:
"The men danced upon wires ran along
ropes, rebounding like elastic balls from one
rope to another, running up ladders of en-
ormous height, then bounding to the earth
with the agility of squirrels. One part OF
tie exercises, and the most exciting of all
was the mock attack of the redoubt, at which
the men placed outside of the board fosse ar
rive with the battle axe and rehe slung across
the shoulder. The trumpet sounds the as
sault, and in two minutes time the redoubt
is entered, and a volley fired from the in
terror, in spite of the great height of the walls
and the resistance offered from within"
The writer remarks. that the spectacle pre-
sented was most astonishing one, and that
in this new system of training, may be found
the secret of that evidence and skill which
have made the Zouaves so distinguished in
the field.

Pixies PEAK MINEs-ANoTuER SroRY.-A
correspondent of the ST. Louis Hearld, writ
ing from Westport, July 27th says:
There is young man, Jacob Gerhprt, for
merly Of St Louis, but who has been here
for more than a year, who has just returned
from Pixies Peak. He went to all the prin
cipal claims which have been spoken of by
letter writers, and if any one made a hun.
dred dollars day, he never saw that part OF
it. He reports that there is gold in the coun
try, but during his stay there, which was
some three or four weeks. he saw only about
$4,000 of gold dust in Denver City, where
all the gold is sent, and that there were some
fifteen or eighteen thousands men engaged in
mining and prospecting in the country
Now, sir, you can have idea of the amount of
gold in the country, when fifteen thousand
men make out TO get about $4,000 or IS, 900
of gold dust in four weeks
