EARLY LIFE IN OREGON. was in
the summer of 1S43 that young chief
of the Walla Wallas one day entered the
fort and appropriated to himself some
article of little valuc-a piece Of wood,
from lot of which, lying therein, the
Indians had been in the habit Of taking
pieces whenever they chose. for the pur-
pose of making whip handles. The
practice had been strictly forbidden, as
the wood was of a particular kind. and
of service to the company. 1t was in an
expostulation with the young chief that
a young clerk in the company received
a signal affront, which occasioned rem
contre and the chastisement of the In
dian. At this time there we're perhaps
a dozen whites at the fort, and although
the buildings were enclosed by stockadcs
yet there were no means of effectually
securing the entrances. The stockade
was of recent construction, and the
gates had not been made. nor were they
till a year after. Consequently it was.
comparatively speaking, defenceless
position.
On the next day the Indians, some Of
each tribe, crowded into the establish
ment to revenge themselves in the death
of Mr.. =. Talking could achieve
nothing every consistent means was re-
serted to in vain to appoase the turbu-
lent multitude. The men belonging to
the fort were at work in the field, even
could their presence have effected any
good in the issue.
The Indians were brandishing their
weapons, and seemed to be fully aware
of their superiority. and disposed to ex-
ercise it in u summary manner. Already
had Mr.. McKinly suffered indignities
and young = was defending himself
as we'll as he was able, when MIR. Mex.
started from the crowd that surrounded
him, passed into the adjoining store
room, seized keg Of powder, a stee
and Aut. and returning placed the keg
in the centre of the room and knocked
in its head.
Now said he. kill him if you will,

For WHAT ARE WE LIVING. How few
break from the stern behests of business
to ask themselves this simple question
Simple, We said, and yet fraught with as
mighty interest as eternity itself Every
day we are winding the chains Of destiny
about US; every hour taking from life
some spice to embalm our memory, or
gall and vinegar to make bitter the rec-
objection of our sojourn on earth.
For what are you living, followers Of
fashion? The night wears away, the
rout is ended, the faded face turns lam
guidly from the mirror, and the beating
temples are pillowed on down ; but where
is the heart? Back in the heated room,
throbbing in the glare Of the gas light,
drinking in the wine of the fatterer,
fsasting on the empty frotb of vanity !!
For the utter annihilation Of all good
anu virtuous deeds-the earth of heav-
ems sweetest blessings. To sing the
death dirge of hope, not as the mother
sings her cradle song with busy hands,

stranger walls the coronation above the

The Great Battle in Kentucky.
Official Dispatch from General Buell..
PERRYvILLE, KY, via Bardstown,
October 10 1860

fERRYVILLE, KY, via Bardstown,
October 10, 1862.
To Major General HALLEcK, General
in Chief: I have already advised you of
the movements Of the army under nv
command from Louisville. More or less
skirmishing has occurred daily with the
eIemy's cavalry. Since then it was sup
posed the enemy would give battle at
Bardstown.
My troops reached that point on the
4th inst, driving out the enemy's rear
guard of cavalry and artillery. The
main lbody retired towards Springfield,
whittier the pursuit was continued. The
centre corps, under Gen. Gilbert, moved
on the direct road from Springfield to
Perryville, and arrived on the 7th inst.
within two miles of the town, where the
enemy was found to be in force.
The left column, under Gen. McCook,
came upon the Nashville road about ten
o'clock, the 9th inst. 1t was ordered
into position to attack, and strong re-
connoisance directed.
At four o'clock received request
from Gen. McCook for reinforcements,
and learned that the left had been Sc
verely engaged for several hours, and
that the right and left of that corps were
being turned and severely pressed. Re-
inforcements were Immediately sent for
ward from the centre.
Orders were also sent to the right COL
umn, under Gen. Crittenden, which was
advancing by the Lebanon road, to push
forward and attack the enemy's left, but
it was impossible for it to get in position
in time to procure any decisive result.
The action continued until dark. Some
fighting also occurred on the centre. The
enemy were everywhere repulsed, but
not without some momentary advantage
on the left.
The several corps were put in position
during the night and moved to the at
tack at six o'clock this morning. Some
skirmishing occurred with the enemys
reer guard. The main body had fallen
back in the direction of Harrodsburg.
