Letter from the owyhoe.

RUBY CITY, July %, 1864.
EDS. STATEsMAN:-Snce my last, considerable
excitement has prevailed in regard to Indian
depredations. The people were so in
eensed by the sad news of the death of Jordan
and the defeat of his little army, that in less
than three days time one hundred and fifty men
mounted, armed and equipped, were in readi-
ness for the "on to Richmond" The command
divided into five companies of thirty men
each. Mr.. Bruce Smith was elected Command
er Chief, and Samuel Fry Jennings Smith Mr.
Hagan, Mr. Sands and Mr.. Bohaman Captains of
the companies The order of forward march
was given in due time, and the army moved, l
think more rapidly than ever an army moved be-
FORE and kept moving until they overhauled the
murderers; and 'lol the poor Indian n"-the
"boys" were "turned loose" The fight lasted
from about o'clock in the afternoon until after
dark. The exact number of Indians killed could
not be ascertained; but 35 dead bodies were
found on the field on the morning following the
evening of battle. Mr.. James Carroll and Mr..
John Fogle were killed and another man whose
name have not learned was wounded during
the fight. The party returned last evening bring
ing many ''trophies of war" in the shape of
scalps, and other ornaments taken from the en-
emy.
While l cannot say anything against the fight
ing qualities of these men, who composed this
war party, would not be doing them justice to
say that they were the most moral men in the
world. They took no prisoners, although there
were women and children among the enemy. l
understand that no distinction between sexes
and sizes were made. r
Col. Maury arrived on this Creek about week
since, with rs men-part of them mounted and
the remainder on foot. They will do good; and
some of the boys, who have been out in this
campaign, give the advice gratis that these
"sojer boys" had better let the Indians alone if
they don't want to get hurt. dare say that
Col. Maury will do all in his power to chastise
the Indians and protect the citizens of this vi
cinity.
If were not in such hurry just at present
would like to give you some of my quartz min
ing expererience. have visited many tunnels,
and shafts on the various lodes located near

SIMYAKwATINE, July 29th, 1864.
FRIEND BEAcHY;- The news from
the mines, so far as discoveries have been made,
is 1attering. All the claims that have been
opened are paying well. There
are many lying around awaiting the arrival of
the English Gold Commissioner with the ex-
pectation that claims will be cut down one half
or more, thereby giving them opportunity OF
locating claim already prospected. The la
test from the mines is the report of an excite
ment about new discoveries made on the Yack,
a stream emptying into the Kootenai, between
Bonner's and the second crossing. \
have seen considerable gold from Kootenai
passing down through here. One man showed
me his specimens which he had picked out from
his finer gold. The smallest piece was as large
as grain of corn and the purse weighed on
