ANOTHER VIEW Of Ir-The Union publishes
a letter in reference to the slaughter on the
Truckee river, and comments on it In this
wise:
From his statement it appears the Indians
were disposed to communicate with the
whites ns indicated in the white flag waved
by the Iulian on the bluff There is n room
to doubt as to its being white flag the lu-
dian waved, as they do not possess bright
battle axes. He was fred upon contrary to
all the usages of civilized nations, and the
Indians returned the fire After their flag of
truce was fired upon they were justified in
concluding that there was no hope but in
fighting. Upon receiving the volley Major
Ornshy ordered II charge, but his order was
only responded to 10y thirty men Of the one
hundred and five With him. The gallant
thirty drove the Indians before them for some
distance, but seeing they were followed by so
small a nun:ber, turned upon their pursuers
and in turn forced them to retreat. 1t was
on the retreat that Ormsby, Meredith and
Others were killed. Had the one hundred
and five charged, the chances are that scarce
" life would have been lost. We hope
those who stood by and saw few of their
number charge into the ranks Of hostile In
dians without offering to aid them will be
able to justify themselves to the public for
such an extraordinary course. Possibly they
may have declined to advance when called
upon because a flag of truce had been
violated
