Indian 4NaSSacreS.-A dreadful massacre
of an entire emigrant train by the Snake In
dians took place about fifty miles west Of
Salmon Falls, on the Columbia River, on the
9th of September. Only one person escaped
out of party of forty Ska man named
Scheiber. Nineteen of those massacred were
men, and the rest were women and children
Oreg0H.-The news from Oregon, by the
overland mail, is brief but to the point. The
difficulties in the Oregon Legislature had
been SO far overcome that on the I'd the elec
ton of United States Senators took place in
legal form, and resulted in the choice of j
W. Nesmith, Douglas Democrat, for the long
term, and Z. D. Baker, Republican, for the
short term of FIVE years. The arrangement
was, of course, affected by fusion. This
news created the greatest excitement among
the California Republicans, many of whom
thought their chances in that State by no
means so desperate as they had feared.
