"A HeI0lc Achievement.

a correspondent Of the Missouri
Democrat, writing from Island No. 10
gives the follow ing account Of galan
achievement by Lieut.. Allen, of tt.
7th Illinois Regiment:
"In former letter l wrote of CON.
tenn lated attempt on the part Of Lieut..
Allen, Of Company G, Of the Twenty
seventh Illinois, to spike the guns OF
the upper rebel fort at this place, Girls
tened, VIC have been told, Fort Polk.
This bold task was undertaken last nisht.
when the Lieutenant, in company with
four other men, dropped down In SIX Fl,
and found a large body Of rebels y,
work constructing platforms for sup.
porting their cannon. The Lieutenant
resolved no: to be totally disapp Din, ed,
and, landing, very ccolly approached a
sentinel, VINO was pacing n parapet a,
the lover extremity OF the fort, and,
representing himself as a brother rebel,
remarked: IL will relieve you from
duty now, SIR The rebel guard, wea.
ricd and thankfnl,moveL OF to his quar-
tiers, when the Lieutenant spiked the "a.
FOUNDER at the lower part Of the fort,
which was served with such accuracy
against rs on last Monday. The prox-
unity Of the laboring rebels would not
suffer him to prosecute any further a
Work which had already proven him q
daring officer"

Wednesday y. M, reports as follows:
Col. Buford sent force to make a re.
connoisance Of the Kentucky shore, on
Wednesday night, which succeeded 10
capturing six prisoners, belonging to a
Tennessee cavalry force. They report
the strength of the enemy near Island
No. 10, at $4,000. Gen. Bragg is in
command. 1900 reinforcements reached
it, having come from Humboldt to .
point on the Railroad, only Is miles
distant. Still larger reinforcements
were expected by the same route last
night. Measures have been taken to
Intercept this means of communication.
Capt. Stanford, of the mortar fleet,
succeeded in landing several shells right
into the batteries on the Island, after .
close reconnaissance in skiff.
Two shots were fired from the Island
batteries yesterday morning, one ofthem
aimed at one of our boats, but fell tar
short.
The firing at Point Pleasant on We'd
uesday morning lasted an hour and ten
minutes.
1t is supposed that one of the rebel
gunboats IN attempting to pass up the
river was exploded.
The floating battery still lies moored
alongside the Island.
There is no later intelligence from the
Tennessee.
Troops are constantly departing and
movements are doubtless on the tapis
there of intense interest.

The committee say that tho censor.
ship of the press, except 10 regard to

partly from the instructions given to
the censor and partly from his manner
of carrying them out, dividing the bla ne
about equally between Secretary Sew

say:
CONCLUSIONS OF THE COMMITTEE.

without any clearly defined limits after

Salmon River News.

We take the following items from
the Walla Walla Statesman of the 22nd
ult., and the correspondence Of the
Adrertiscr dated Salt Creek, March
10th:
Let those below who have any inter-
est in us send forward stutfs as
soon rs possible, and those who con-
template coming remain for six weeks
yet at least before they come to this
country. 1 say to you once again, be
warned in time, as you will be the suf-
ferer, and you will find very little SYM
c ;:.v from lot of fine, noble, hardy
men, half starved themselves.
Some diggings have been struck on
Salmon river thirty or forty miles above
this point, estimated to pay from five to
twelve dollars per day on tho bars and
in some of the gulches putting into the
river.
From experience in all three of the
mining camps | would safely say that
the miner will do better to try Elk City
or Orc Elmo before coming to Salmon
river, as at either camp you can get
work, and when this present portion
of the mines is worked out and forgot
as one of the has-beens you will find
that Elk City and Orc Elmo will open
forth with bright prospects. The head
waters of Clearwater have been but
barely prosrccted, and there are hun
dreds Of claims abandoned and miles of
ground not touched which will pay
from SIS to $40 per day, and you can
get that if you will be content, not
speaking Of hill diggings not opened,
and abundant water privileges. There
is fair supply Of provisions, tools and
cloth in at these points now, and that
is quite an item.
Let every miner who can, bring his
horse, as he assists matters, beside car
rying grub before present wants, he
also enables you to penetrate far back
where. plenty Of ore exists. Your
horse Can find in the mountains enough
to eat any place when the snow is of.
Let the miner avoid giving his horse
or horses to every one who says he has
q ranch, as it would be better for YOU
and the animal If you would shoot him
and then you would know where to
find him. Band together some fifteen
or twenty and pay some man good wa
gcs to watch, cat and sleep with them; ;
you may then get some benefit from
your horses You can now do a YOU
please-I have given you the hint.
! now state to those whom It NAV
concern, that from this point to Snake
river is about fifteen miles over q rocky
divide, aud that there il a trail over
which the Indians ride, and that they
travel from this point to the Grand
Ronde country, but no wagon road can
ever come to this place across from
Snake river, but good mountain pack
trail can be made. If we car get
goods and stuffs here. no matter how,
it will satisfy us; settle the road among
yourselves. l state the above as facts,
not interfering with tho question of
roads.
Let the miner, packer aud traveller
not forget his gun coming up here.
Remember the Indian Agent has said
you can get no aid nor comfort from
him, as you are violating the laws OF
intercourse with the Indians and con.
