Our Future.

Our local contributor furnishes us the follow
ing horoscope picture of "our future:
The time for making money has come at last /;
California surpassed; Australia distanced; Fra
zer River played OUT Cariboo too little known
to credit what they says Nova Scotia washed by
too many waves to successfully gather the treas
ure8 that lie scattered and mingled with the sands
on her beach.
Salmon River opens a new field for specula-
ton, research and daring adventure. At the
time these discoveries were made the present ex-
tensive and rich mining country was an unex-
plored and unknown region wild beasts roamed
undisturbed through its forests, whilst the red
Misunderstanding on the simple luxures of the
chase, engaged in exciting scenes of war, or,
"Woo'd by Silly lake or mountain grand,
The soace Of his choice"
While living thus, half indolent and half heroic
the daring spirit of few restless prospectors
fitted out prospecting expedition, and their pri-
vafions and energy established the fact of the
richness of the Salmon river Mines The fabu-
lous wealth of her ravines and gulches has du-
ring the past two months been satisfactorily set
tied. On some of the claims, ounces have ceased
TO be regarded as much of anything, and the au-
rferous yield is only estimated by pounds Gold
purses, which have been in such great demand
for the past few years in all the mining localities
named above, have been thrown aside on the
ground that not even the largest are capacous
enough to hold the gttering ore, and long legged
"fubber-boots" have been substituted, as the only
fit receptaces for the enormouss yield. This
hitherto neglected and unknown country will yet
prove herself before the world no small affair."
Instead of leaving the Indians to roam over
her broad bosom free and undisturbed, pursuing
only the wild game that suhsists upon her do
main, the hardy hand of the adventurer will
stretch itself forth and dig up her golden treas
ures, and convert her vast plains to thriving
farms, her Indian huts scattered here and there
to beautiful and symmetrical dwelling places her
mineral resources to all the numberless uses fol
which they were designed. The prophecy that
"the waste places shall be made glad, and the
wilderness to blossom as the rose" whether made
especially for the benefit of this country or not
is sure to be fulfilled The poet says, "coming
events cast their shadows before" and this is un
doubtedly true. For the past few months these
shadows have been constantly Illuminating tht
upper country and events of sterling magnitude
must inevitably follow as the sequel"

perity. Apropos of this, we will here state
for the benefit of readers at a distance,
that there is yet large tract of fine agri
cultural lend open for settlement in the
Walla Walla valley, and for those who in
tend pursuing this business no better in
ducements are offered in any other coun-
try. The questions, Which locality pre-
sents the greatest Inducements and
Where is the great metropolis of the up
per country to spring up ? are mooted,
but to our minds not " mixed" ones; though
we fear that many, by awaiting for the fu-
ture to develop this matter, and by run
ming off after prospective ''town SITES will
lose good opportunities en- every hand
We would answer these questions by
saying that the whole upper country,
wherever there is a valley large enough
for dozen farms, presents fair induce
ments, and there will be towns on every
hand. But in consideration Of the fact that
neither the Salmon river, the Powder river,
the Orc Fino, nor any one mining region
will be the only point to supply, from Pow
der river to the British Possessions, and
the central position and superior agricul-
tural advantages of the Walla Walla val
ley, it is our opinion that no other point
just now presents superior inducements
nor brighter prospects than this. We have
here settlement already begun, and a
thriving town in which is centered large
amount of capital.

The Nez Perces Indians.

at that place the 3lst ult. between the citizens
and delegation of Nez Perces Indians:
SLATE CREEK, Dec. 81, 1861
AT the instance of delegation of the Indian
warriors from the camps of The Eagle of the
