water enough to drive any grist- mill
From these springs to the ferry it is
twelve miles.
We forded the river just below. the fer
ry, and passed down two miles, when
Capt Crawford came up, meeting us with
bis usual good cheer. We camped for the
night here, and Capt. C's command camped
eight miles out from the river, on Ross
fork. On the 18th both commands moved
down fifteen miles and camped at our pres
ent encampment. At night the boys got
up fine dance with the prettiest kind of
emigrant girls. Last night, Capt. G. gave
a ball, which passed off admirably. Just
after dark 'there came a sound Of revelry"
and the brave and beautiful assembled at
the "ring" near the Capt's marquee, where
bon-fres and toGch-hghts set the camp
agloH-and lanterns aud straks of love-
light illumined the inner mazes. Capt. G..
knows how to serve up delicacies. Many
a forlorn bachelor will hereafter thank him
for his rib, as he hopefully yields to the
gentle thraldom of love- The officers of
our command were invited to dine with
him and such dinner as he gave is not
often to be had on Port Neuf. The spark
ling Cata1cba was ''dulcet, delicious and
dreamy Their are eighty emigrant wag-
gons with the Escort this year; and the
impression is, that there are but few or
none behind. The number OF wagons for
Oregon and Washington over this route
this season is less than AGO. A large por
ton of the emigration is said to have gone
to Beaver Head Teams from Salt Lake
have passed here with provisions for that
place. They say it is 400 miles from Salt
Lake to Beaver Head, and that Flour is
selling at 25 cents per pound at the latter
place On the 18th we had an Express
from Salt Lake, with dates from there to
9Th of August.
We viii likely remain here week yet,
before starting on our return trip. Capt.
Crawford's command started to day. He
expects to cross at Salmon Falls and go to
new Fort Boise He will be there about
the 18th proximo. He intends to sell his
outfit at Boise which will take some time,
and we will be there by the time he is
ready to 90 on to Walla Walla. His out
fit is similar in every respect to the one he
had last year. @. V. z.

on in different partieS-some for the head

A company of 40 or so miners leave here

On Saturday last, a man named Sutton,
from Denver City, was shot and killed by
an Englishman named Wiley, formerly a
resident of Auburn The affair took place
at Centreville, and caused quite an excite
ment Many were of the opinion that the
law of the revolver and bowie knife was
about ''played out, and that Judge Lynch
had better take a hand and it appears
to me that the peaceable residents of this
basin have got about sick of having "a man
for breakfast" every Sunday morning and
are about to put stop to the wholesale
slaughter we have witnessed here the past
six weeks.
Business is not improving. Flour has

who considers himself in bad luck in hav
ing so much property on his hands The
''cash money for the freight is what troub-
les them. Speaking of cash, it occurs to
me that smell large mice in some lots
of ''doctored' dust l have seen. Every
body knows that the best of the dust here
is not worth over SIG per ounce at the mint, =
and if looked into you will fud That no
dust is sent from Florence or Salmon river

found for it here Traders are so anxious
to get rid of their goods that they don't

Female Heroism.

We have been furnished with a thrilling
adventure on the part of former lady res
ident of Denver while passing through the
Indian country west of Salt Lake. Such
GOODNESS and presence of mind on occasions
of great danger are rare in the female sex
Some two or three months since, Mrs
John H. Gerrish of this city, left in the
Overland Coach for San Francisco, en- route
for the Dalles in Oregon, where her husband
had located She had with her young
babe and commenced the journey alone and
unattended. Nothing of interest, beyond
the usual monotony and tediousness of a
long journey overland, occurred, until the
coach arrived in the vicinnity of Deep
creek, beyond Salt Lake. Here the coach
was fired upon by the Indians, aud way
passenger, riding outside with the driver,
was killed. Mrs. Gerrish saw him fall
from the box to the road, and Immediately
called out to the driver. Receiving no an
sw1f, she deliberately wrapped her babe in
blankets, placed it carefully under the seat,
and while the horses were at full run,
climbed from the inside of the coach to the
box, where she found the driver lying dead
in the boot, and taking the lines she drove
the horses some dist ance, when one of them
fell dead from the effect of shot. Mean
while the savages were pursuing and firing
upon the coach. When the horse fell, Mrs
Gerrish jumped from the box aud com
menced cutting one of the animals loose,
hoping to make her escape on horseback =
Fortunately just at this moment the east
ward bound coach came up, containing
passengers, and the Indians made off to the
mountains.
The escape from fate worse than death
was miraculous one, and the coolness and
herOism displayed by Mrs. G is worthy a
place Oh the historic page. All the time
she was driving, she could hear distinctly
the pratliug Of her child, and its frequent
calls of "come, good mamma" Who win
attempt to describe the feelings of that
brave mother on this trying occasion 81

GREEK FIRE.-W defines Greek
fire as "a combustible composition which
burns under water the constituents of
which are supposed to be asphalt with inter
and sulphur. 1t was originally invented by
the Greeks-hence its name. The secret of
its composition is not generally known, and
the company who now furnish it to the
Government will not reveal the mode of its
manufacture. 1t is said to be almost mex
tinguishable. From the holy horror with
which Gen. Beauregard seems TO regard it,
it may very properly be defined as some

LoyELAND AND THE ROBBERS. Mr.
Loveland who was attacked by robbers
near Dry Creek, short time ago, while on
his way down from Colville, succeeded on
his return home, in getting on the track of
the two villains who escaped, and with a
pertinacity and grit worthy to be com
mended, followed them to the Spokane
river, where he overlook them. One of
the robbers then attempted to escape by
swimming his horse across the river, bnt
the horse becoming unmanageable, turned
toward the shore from which be started,
when Loveland shot the rider in his sad
die, and the "road agent" went to make
food for the fishes The other man started
up the river, but was pursued by Loveland,
who followed him to Willow Springs. At

the pursuit was abandoned.

bIeS are turned and he is assaulted in his
stronghold by Greek fire, be holds up bis
hands in holy horror and characterizes the
act as contrary to all civilized warfare."-
He is afraid that he will get hurt now, and
no doubt would feel much obliged to Gen.
Gilmore if he would quit shootin fire at
him, and let him alone entirely. We cer-
tainly hope Gilmore will Consider his

THE Crops IN GRAND RoNDE-Farm-
ers from Grand Ronde inform us that their
crops Of grain promise fair yields. They
express the opinion that wheat, oais and
barley, can be produced as well there as in
any of the valleys of the Pacific. The
past seasons farming there has not been a
fair test of the soil, as most of the crops
were sown late, and on sod groupd. Veg
etables, and corn, as general rule, will
not do so well there as in this valley, ow-
ing to the cold nights and frosts; and in
some parts of the valley the corn and vines
were "nipped" close to the ground as late
as June, while in other localities they have
grown well aH"
