VIII it be of any interest to your readers ten

OF Europeans They are not much surprised at
it; nor in purely military point of view do they
attach to it any decisive importance. The
~ Union party" aud I" Union sentiment" in the
Southern States being quite invisible at this dis
fance, they have seen more clearly than we the
formidable proportions Of the South as an enemy.
Other effects on their vision Of this same DIS
fsnce are equally curious. Thus they saw the
Big Bethel buDgle much bigger than we; but
many Of our generals much smaller. Some of
our boasts have seemed Brobdignagisn, while the
causes Of them were sadly dwarfed; they saw

ENSLAViNG THE CALIFORNIA INDIANS.

A correspondent of The Boston Trasse'ipt, writing
from San Francisco, tells this sory Of the treatment Of
the indians ON the Pacific coasts
"Since nv last have been home and from there
200 miles northward to Humboldt Bay, whore the
Land.Oiice il situated. l went up with party OF
eight on horseback, taking pack-anmals with us 10
carry our provisions, IL was rough, mountainous
county We had % travel over and uninhabi,ed save
here and there by rough mountaineer. The country
is pretty thcky populated with wild Indians, who are
now being hunted f1r her chhdreR--an assertion
which will probably startle yon, but such is the fact
disguise il M they may.
For several wears different parties have attempted
10 locate themselves in those billie with cattle, to take
advantage Of the great range OF feed. Inc indidns
being q migirabe, improvident mce, have now and
whites IN retaliation have killed them and tie Indians
in return have killed whites when they caught
them alone the consequence las been one or Two In
dian wars 80 called In that country, bnt in reality the
all one sde, Tor the Indians are
of making war; Well, during all tbis time there has
been reservation mp in that country, where the In
dans are fupposed 10 be- taken care OF by the Govern
msnt and a1 captiyes were taken therc-e good many
orpl al children among the Iest. Experience proved
them 70 be- when tanned, quite docilo and very good
seryants learning TO work aud TO speak English very
readily. Many Of them were adopted into families,
end our Legislature was induced TO pass law which
by an easy process apprenced them out for tenn OF
years.
The demand for these little fellows naturally in
creased and 10 get one many porsons living at dis
lance would willingly pay fifty or hundred dollars
for the trouble Of bringing them down. There are
mapy wild, uncou.b, reckless fellows living In those
mountains with sQuaws they have stolen from the In.
dians and to meet this demand they have to make war
on the Indians the Indians kill few beeyes TO keep
themselves from starving and this afords pretext.
Tie Government itself is making war on the Indians
at the demand of the settlers Tor protection, and the
settlers make for the young ones 10 ss to take
them and sell them that is to cay, they make you
present Of little digger, aud you make them pre-
sont of hundred dollars for their trouble in catching

return aud lay their town In ashes. They pro-
tested that they knew nothing Of the designs Of
the Rebels, and had no control over themI but
he only replied by the most solemn assurance
that he would carry out his threat to the letter.
They Immediately sent messengers to the Rebel
force, and not another shot was fired ct the
boat
Another train on the Pacific Railroad, west OF
Jefferson, was fred into yesterday, from the
bushes One passenger was killed ana four
wounded. The fire was returned from the cars,
and one Rebel known TO be killed. The Rebels
are rising in great strength west of Jefferson,
even to within twelve miles of that city, pressing
teams and making preparations for the reception
of Jackson and Price, who they are very conf
dent will soon penetrate to the capital In guer-
rilla warfare they have our troops at disad-
vantage, but they are gradually gathering into
large masses. and whenever oil Of them who are
anxious 10 fight shall have joined the Rebel army
at Springfield, an opportunity will probably be
afforded them. 1t is developing more and more
clearly that there ia yet to be good deal of
hard fighting in Missouri before the State is
thoroughly and permanently cleared.
The Ohio Regiment, Gel. Groesbeck, arrived
yesterday morning, and marched to headquarters,
where it was drawn up in line and reviewed by
Gen. Fremont. 1t is fine looking body Of
men, and, like the other Ohio troops, comes

ter; and the army which is rapidly gathering in
Missouri begins 10 be commensurate with the de-
mands of the war in the Mississippi Valley.
Heavy reenforcements Of infantry and cavalry

From Our Special Correspondent.
ST.. LouIs. No. Wedntsday, Aug 81, 1861
In the vicinity of Palmyra, few days since,
as the telegraph advised you, two railroad trains
were fired into from the bushes. Gen. Pope, who
commands our forces in Northern Missouri, has
notified the people CT that county (Marion) that
il they do not secure the assassDs within six
DAYS, he viii levy a tax of Sl5, 600 upon the
county Zone third of it upon Palmyra), aud col
lect il in mules, horses, wagons provisions and
any other convertible property he can find which
will be of use TO the Government. The citizens
beginning to learn that they are held responsible
for the public peace of the county, are ont in
large numbers hunting the miscreants. Gen.
Pope is pursuing the same policy in every county
of Northern Missouri. Hitherto. whenever any
outrages have been committed, the leading citi-
zens in the vicinity have been inclined " dssyow
all knowledge of them, saying; "We are
peaceable men, engaged in our. Legitimate
pursuits, These fellows who drive out Union
men and fire into railway trains are irrespon-
sible, reckless persons from other counties; we
know nothing about them" But Gen. Pope re-
such things cannot 90 on without your knowl-
edge, for you have the same facilities for ferret
.ug out crime and protecting life and property
which you had before the war. Ii is your duty
10 find out and secure the criminals; and If you
fail to do it, your property must pay the forfeit.
The Government cannot afford t. send companies
of troops TO hunt up every little group of assas-
sins in the remote counties of the Stats and if
you have not patriotism enough to secure the
criminals, we will try the effect of pecuniary
inducement." In pursuance of this plan, Gen.
Pope has appointed Committees Of Safety in the
various counties (placing some responsible seces-
sonists upon them in all cases), and the result
is that matters are gradually becoming quiet in
the northern part of the State.
Lieut.-Co White who was coming down the
river with body Of soldiers on Saturday, acted
upon the same idea, with satisfactory results
His boat was once fired upon from ambush and
upon arriving at Rochcport (a strong Secession
town) he received secret information that an.
other body of Rebels, few miles below, was
posted in the woods ready TO pour voRey into
him. lie Immediately notified the citizens 0i
