The Indian Difficulties.

In previous number of this paper,
il referring to the unsettled condition
of Indian affairs in this Territory, we
gave it as the general beliefthat anoth-
or Indian war upon our frontier settle
ments would speedily ensue, unless the
troops lately withdrawn should be at
once restored. This belief was based
upon what was considered indications
OF hostile intent in the more exposed
portions of the country. These apprc-
tensions have been verified by late re-
ports from the Upper Columbia, which
leave no room-for doubt but that the
Indians arc in state Of determined
hostility to the miners in that region.
Several men have lately been killed,
and others threatened and ill-treated
A letter to the Advertiser, dated at Fort
Colville, on the IA h ul:., says"
"The miners on the Columbia are
becoming uneasy. They say that the
Indians are very sulky and saucy they
keep aloof from the hites, and are not
at all friendly; they are only waiting
until the fishing season is over. A re-
port has Just arrived of another murder
below on the Columbia. Il All the
old French settlers will leave, if we
have not sufficient protection. We
ought to have copmany or so Of dra-
goons."
Later dates fully corrobcrate tho
above statement. The same paper of u
recent date says that prospectors have
been warned by the Indians to return,
as they were opposed to any further
mining except such as is allowed by
previous arrangement.
We certainly consider the removal
Of the military force from our Terrific.
~ just at this time an unfortunate oc-
currenee. A sufficient force should be
retained in an Indian country at all
times to insure proper regard for life
and property, and certainly now, When
the treaties arc being fulfilled, should
we he guarded against the disaflection
likely to occur from tue false ideas of
right entertained by the unprincipled
savage.
We learn from the reply to letter
directed to Gen. Sumner by Acting
. Governor McGill that although no more
troops will be withdrawn, yet not the
slightest intiination is given of res
toration of the force ordered away. The
letter says: 1T is believed that this
f0rce THAT remaining Lere] is sufficient
for the protection to your citizens :
should il, however, lie inadequate for
this psrposc. Col. Wright has authori-
ty to accept the services Of such voun-
teer force ~ may secure complete pro-
lection Of life and properly"
Although we believe that had our
military not been ordered away the oc-
casion tor their use would probably
not have been presented, series of
difficulties cannot now be avoided.
Troops may be returned. aud they may
not In the latter alternative volun-
ter force must again take the field, for

ages commence hostilities with thor

sired BY the miners in that locality.
Then will we reap the benefit of the
late organization Of the militia.

EXPLOSION Of the Steamer Caritoo.

G4plCSlNu OF tUt otSdE1CI NuIiIVo.
1t is our painful duty to chronicle
another heart-rending casualty 10y which
seven human beings were ushcred into
eternity. On the morning Of the 9th
inst, as the steamer (drri6oo, WAS
leaving Victoria for New Westminster,
her boilers exploded witt, loud report
that was heard throughout the har-
Dor. It appears that she started ont of
from Victoria with heavy head of
steam, and had proceeded with great
rapidity tor some distanee-a half or
three-fourths of Il milc-whcn the ter
terrible casualty occurred. Amongthe
killed were Captain Archibald jamie
son and brother. The fatality attend
ing this family of five brothers is re-
marketable. All have met their fate by
steamboat casualties. One by the
explosion OF the steamer Ga-etlc, at
Cnemah, Oregon; one hy the steamer
Portland, which drilieG over the Will
lamctte falls; another by the explosion
of the Fort Yale; and the remaining
two by the late catastrophe.
All places of business in Victoria
were closed OH the 9th, and the flags
were raised to half-mas..
We take the following from the
Press of Tuesday last:
The steamer CaribOo is mass Of I'll
ins-her captain is hurried into cterni-
tv. and n number of men who were
lately in our midst in the enjoyment of
life and health are now no more. We
have chroniced greater catastrophcs
tkan the loss OF the CaTtJoo, and more
extensive disasters than that connected
with the accident, but we arc unable TO
point out calamity more heartrending
and appalling in its details than that
which ushcred in the dawn ofycstcrday
morning. To see the inhabitants reused
from their bed by alarm-bells-constcr-
nation, doubt, anxiety on every counte-
nance-thc consciousness that some
dreadful calamity had happened in con-
ncction with that fearful and ominouS
report that shook the houses like an
earthquake, and which was followed by
one long scream that thrilled the hearts
of those whose ears it pcnctrated-was,
in truth, spectacle in the waning
morning moonlight, more fitting the
imaginary efforts of some sensation
dramatist than a stern reality in our
public streets. But a few minutes pre-
vious the Carriboo had left the wharf,
and the few who had witnessed her de-
parturc had almost retired to rest, the
passengers on board had gone to sleep
with all the confidence Of safety and Sc
curity, when in instant the alarming
shock took place, sending spiral
column of flame for Il moment high into
the atmosphcrc-thcn shrek Of ay-
ony,-and nothing could be discovered
by the one or two spectators of the
melancholy and startling scene, but n
blui sh smoke surrounding the spot
where the ill-f,ted steamerhad mo-
ment previous been scndding majestic
ally along the water in that brief space
of time however, seven men had gone
to another world.
The names of the killed were Arcli-
bald Jameson, Captain, and his broth
cr; Sparkes, Mate; Allen, Engineer ;
Foley, Fireman; and one or two pas
scngcrs.

pletely ruined. Thewrcck is in charge

To which the story-teller answered very
deliberately:
IF it please yonr majesty, il is impossi-
bic to tell you what happened afierwarl be-
ore have told iou what happened first"
And then he went on again:
"And then another locust went in and
carried otf another grain of corn, and then
another locust went in and carried OFF an
oth~r grain of corn. and then another IJcusi
went in aud carried off another grain OF
corn"
The king listened with unconqnerable pa
tience six months more, when he agail IN
ierrtpied him with II; rrg
f" oh. .rienll am weary of your To-
Gusts How soon do you think they will
have done
To which the siory-teller made answer:
90 king who can tell? AT the time to
which my story has come, the locusts have
cleared away small space, il may be a
cubit, each way round the inside of the
hole; and the air is still dark with locl,sts
on all sides. But let llle king have patience
and, no doubt we shall come to the end OF
them in time" .m
Thus encouraged. the king listened on for
another full year, The story teller still going
on rs before. " And then another locust
went in and carried off another grain of
corn, and then another locust went in and
carried oft another grain of corn and then
another locust went and carried off another
grain of corn" till at last the poor king
could bear It no longer, and cried out:
Oh, man, that is enough Take my
daughter! take my kingdom take any
thing--everything only let hear no more
OF yonr abominable locusts {"
And so The siory-teller was married to
The kings daughter, and was declared heir
10 the ihrone; and nobody ever expressed
a wish to hear the rest of his story, for he !
said II was impossible 10 come to the other
part of it till he had done with the locusts.
The unreasonable caprice Of the foolish
king was thus oyermatched by the ingeni-
ous device OF this wise man.
