The Enemy at Monterey.

s. It IS reported here upon the authority
|olf the mail carrier that The enemy to
the nuan berof five thousand, (cavairyy;
infantry and artillery are now IN Mon
|terey. On Saturday they surrounded
the house of Mr.. Rexroad, the Sheriff
of Highland county, at Hightown, Z
miles West of Monterey, with the view
of capturing him.. but he was at the
stable at the time and made his escape
by taking to the bushes, and succeeded
in getting to Monterey, where he APP
prised the citizens Of the approach Of the
enemy. It is probable that the number
is exaggerated. It may be their object
to capture cattle in that-section, and, if
SO, we presume the force is not so large
as reported. But as the enemy have
lately shown a great pencAaaat for cap
turing hospitals, it may betheir purpose
to venture a march TO Staunton with the
view of capturing and paroling the great
number of sick and wounded soldiers in
the hospitals in this place.. AVE. should

they attempt to come here. is-a# IN.

not been responded to as we hoped it

themselves as being willing to

BOTHERED ABOUT THE NEGRO.
The New York ssWorld,' of the lst instant,
contains the following editorial s.ss
The tender mercies of the abolitionists, like
those Of the wicked are very cruel. In view of
the great increase Of contrabands at Fortre So
Monroe, and the inability of the Government to
provide for them, Gen. Dix recently sent to
Governor Andrew to know it Massachusetts
could not take and provide for five hundred fam
lies. Instead of jumping at the offer to show
how purely disnterested the radicals are in their
interest in the negro, are told by an apologist
II Andrew that che promptly and decidedly de-
clared his disappreyal of the whole scheme,
n the ground that whenever the Government
officials will do tire scontrabands' justice, they
nave shown that th can take care of themselves
that they are not wanted here, and that they
are, Or soon will BE-. wanted there. =,
Now what is the Government 10 do with this
contrabandi elephant r. The w esternis States

cares that they shan't set foot upon the soil OF

We make the following extracts from prvat
letter from Salmon river:
SALMON RIVER, May IS, 1862.
Items from Bitter Root Valley.

EDS. STATESMAN The following items, Oh
tanned from the party of c. P. Higgings who ar
rived in this city last week, may not be uninterest
ing to your readers:
A party of fifteen men left Bitt'r Root valley
for the Salmon mines on the 2Sd of April. Soon
after the Indians left 'hem on foot and killed some
of them. All but Mr. Grid are missing Some
are supposed to have starved, while others have
probably been killed by the Bannocks. Gerd was
found almost starved to death by a miner while
out prospecting nearly $50 miles above Florence.
The Flatheads and Nez Perces have declared
war against the Snakes. This arose out of some
horse stealing expedition in which fourteen Nez
Perces, two Flatheads, and five Snakes got killed.
Fifteen steamers were advertised to sail from
ST. Louis for Fort Benton this spring They are
expected to arrive at the latter place about the
1st of July.
The distance from the Bitter Root valley to the
Salmon river mines is eight days with pack ami
mails Tine road is rocky.
At the Flathead, for several years past, man
known as "Old Gold Tom" has mined enough to
keep himself in the bare necessaries of life, and a
party of four or five who lately went to Deer
Lodge valley prospecting stated that they had
found good prospects, and one man hired two
Others to go back with and work for him. There
is, however, nothing yet known to justify men
going from here to that place in search of gold.
AS most of the settlers were compelled to use
their seed grain for feed last winter, crops will be
very light this season. VIATOR

told that there was new route direct to Lewis

road, and besides avoided all tol-bridges SO

ell found it disappearing urtil at last we were
without a road entirely. Determined not to &c
back, we pushed ahead, over hills hills, hills
sand and sage, until we, after many dry camps
and much hard travelling, came into the Tucannon
short distance from the wagon road-reioiced
once more to see a practicable road. Now | wish
to say that those people at Wallula are endeav
