What Of the Oath?

DO the misguided people who insist that
the Constitution is n document to be en-.
tlrcly ignored by the President, ever reflect
that the most solemn and impressive mo.
ment of his life was that which saw him
upon the steps of the National Capital, in
the presence of assembled thousands, with
head uncovered, taking upon himself a
vow to maintain inviolatc the Constitution
and the Union Of these States Is it not
a subject for alarm, when citizens Of Re.
public clamor upon their Executive to
violate the most solemn oath Of state which
can be uttered?
Certainly, il there ever was time when
reason should come to the rescue of PEG.
pie rendered irrational by an unfortunate
fanaticism, that time is now. 1t is all folly
to plead that the only road to the quelling
Of the rebellion lies over the Constitution
There is no warrant for such view as
that. Jefferson and his colleagues made
no such mistakes when they drafted the
Constitution. II there is no necessity upon
President Lincoln to break his oath, where
fore should ho do it, and what shall be said
Of those men who are co ntinually advis.
ing him to regard not his sworn obligations (?

90 Tribune, s0th ult.
The italics Of the above are the Ty;.
6unss, and the sentiment advanced is such
as no other paper in the Northwest has
effrontery to advance. We dislike to see
such attacks upon the President. 'sThe
policy Of the Republican party was last
suthoritatively announced in the Republi-
can Wigwam in 1860, when Mr.. Lincoln
was nominated for the Presidency, and we
challenge any one to point out any infrac.
ton of that policy by the President
If the ''policy Of the Republican party
has not been in force during the progress
Of the war, where does the fault lie, but
with President Lincoln, and the Republi-
can CongressY In this light the reflection
upon "Old Abe" which we have quoted
above, Is to say the least, very ungenerous.

oyOn the outside page will be found an
account OF the battle between the Texan
Rangers and rebel Indians on the one side,
and the loyal Indians on the other. The fol-

the war in the Indian country.

Report 10 Gen. Hunter.
Yesterday Opothcy oholo, the head chief of
the Creek Nation, in company with Col mel
VIM. &. Coffin and Major e A. Cutler, had
All interview with Major General Hunter.
Opothryoholo, through an interpreter told
Gen. Hunter the recent terrible events he
had gone through.
The danger of remaining in their own
country becoming fearful, John Ross calling
himself Union man, had told the loyal Indi
ans to GO on to the Cherokee lands. They
followed his advice. and were attacked the
first night after reaching the camping grounds
dcsgna,cd by Ross. When the Union Indi-
ans only 600 were attacked by the rebel
Indians and Trxans-mnre than 3 .OG0- they
fought like tigers The Unionsts followed
the rebels five miles, and slaughtered the
villains AS they fled.
The Usion Indians then changed their
camp and again took the position designated
by John Ross. The mkt day, our forces
being strengthened and remaining the same,
were attacked by rebel Indians under NJ
Int sh and Drew. and Texans and Arkansans
under Genera Cooper, and the rebels We're
again defeated and driven back. leaving fifty
five rebels dead on the field. The rebel
prisoners taken in these two engagements
were :. despatched - with arrows
The Union Indians then fell back to the
northern boundary of the Cherokee Nation,
and there remained unmOlcstrd for two day 5.
On the third day, while large number of
the Union Indians were out seeking provi-
sions for the destitute families, they were
again attacked by an Increased torce--not less
Than LEGO In all.
The battle commenced at ten O'Clock in the
morning and lasted till night, the Union Indi-
ans maintaining their position. Their ammu-
milton being entirely consumed, Opotheyoho.
10 ordered retreat to Kansas.
The Union Indians having large number
ofwomen and children, and III being on foot,
the retreat was necessarily sl-w. The retreat,
as described by the chief, was truly heart
rendering
They were poorly provided with clothing ;
all suffered greatly, many were frozen to
death, but the fatality among women and
children was much the greatest
Since the arrival Of these persons large
humber of their friends have Flowed them,
