INDIAN ATTACK UPON CAPTAIN SMITHS
COMMAND.

Mr.. J. Louis Scholl, guide to Capt. Smiths
command, arrived at the Dales on the Sd inst,
bringing the exciting news that the command
had been attacked by a band Of Snake Indians.
From letters received by officers at Fort Dalles
Barracks, the NOuRtGineer CLEANS The following
particulars Of the fight and Subsequent occur
FENCES:
On Saturday, June 23d, Capt. Smiths party
were attacked by from 60 to 80 mounted Snake
Indians, and $50 or 100 aioot, armed with guns
and bows and arrows. They had followed Capt.
Smiths party for two or three days previously,
and made the attack just as he was going into
camp: They came up boldly and attempted to
drive of the animals, but, falling in this, com.
menced the fight, led by q young Indian who
was killed the first fire.
Capt Smiths company engaged the Indians
very warmly, and obliged them to retreLt
to the mountains, with severe loss Of life to the
Indians and the capture Of six animals and sad
dies, three guns, and numerous other articles.
They left on the field one Indian and horse, the
chief apparently, for he fired the first shot, and
was the most active and bold in the affair. One
Of the captured animals was recognized as stolen
from MaJ. Reynolds battery last sumner. Sew
eral OF the Indians were seen to fall, and
lucy hept up tettlole mourning aH Lne oIttrS
noon, indicating that they suffered severely Not
man or animal Of Capt Smiths party received
a hurt or scratch in the fight, which lasted only
threc-quarters Of an hour. This all occurred
about eighteen miles from 0wyhee river.
Capt Smith is now in the vicinity Of Harney
Lake, awaiting the arrival Of Major Stems party,
who are on their way 10 join him, when probably
they will mote together in pursuit OF the H.!
dams and in the further prosecution Of their
explorations.
Gold in considerable quantities had been
found on the tributaries Of the Des Chutes.
Mr.. Geary, Superintendent Of Indian Affairs,
reached the Dalles on the 2Sth ult., on his re.
turn from trip to the country in the neighbor
hood Of Harney Lake. Mr.. G. had gone out, in
company with Indian Agent Abbott, for the pur.
pose Of treating with the Snake Indians, but
oil his overtures werc rejected, and he was CON-
PEELED to return without having accomplished
anything towards the paciticatiOn Of the hostile
bands that iniest that country. The Indian in.
terpreter sent out TO tender presents in the
name Of the Superintendent was rudely repuls d
and told that, if he had "powder and ball, y they
would accept them, but that nothing else be-
longing to the white man was wanted. Evil
IDENTIFY We are 10 have trouble with these Indians,
and the sooner measures arr taken for their chas-
tseInent, the better il will for the peace Of the
whole upper country

and everybody united in the laudable endeavor
to rake this occasion the most memorable our
County and Territory had yet witnessed. In
this, il sight and hearing are to be credited, we
should judge they were eminently successful.
Not only were our own people satisfied and
pleased, but many Of those from abroad who fl-
yored US with their presence were heard to ex.
press qualification. Fears were entertained by
those having the most arduous duties to per.
form, in connection with the celebration, that
they would fall short Of the confidence reposed
in them; but not a single instance has come to
our knowledge Of anything omitted that could
have contributed in the slightest degree to the
general enjoyment The arrangements were
complete in every particular. Too much credit
cannot be accorded to the efficient Marshal of the
day, DR.. Webber, for the total absence Of any
thing like confusion or disorder. His patience
at times was sOrely taxed but he proved him.
self fully equal TO the task assigned him.
In accordance with the order published for
the occasion, the people Of Steilacoom and the
country adjacent assembled in town in large
numbers, at an early hour on the morning Of
.ne rOur1n, N oroer 70 participate In the iestivi-
ties prepared for them. As wagon after wagon
appeared, loaded with people happy in anticipa
ton, the scene grew more and more lively, until,
long before the hour fixed for the procession to
start the town was thronged. AT about seven
O'Clock, the steamer Wilson o. Hunt came in
slght with goodly number Of passengers from
Victoria She had hardly reached the wharf
when the Eliza AndersOn was deserted in an
opposite direction, steaming down from olym-
PiA with streamers gaily flying fore and at The
arrival Of the steamers from above and below
was welcomed with sAlutes and music from the
brass band.
At about ten O'Clock, the procession was
formed BY the Marshal, and, headed by the band,
proceeded % the grounds selected for the oratiOn
and barbecue. On arriving there, dispersion
immediately took place over the adjacent
grounds; some, eager 10 see the preparations
made for ihe feast, directing their steps TO the
grove where the cooking was being done and
tlhe tables spread; Others, comprising in the main
tne visitors irom abroad, desirous Of seeing as
much o. the country as the limited time would

garrison. Thus was the time passed until The
hour arrived ios commencing the exercises
