INDIAN MATTERs.-The Dales Mountain
eer CT the Sd, gives the following with re
/ gard to the movements of troops in this sec
ton, against the indians:
Mr.. George Rundell, guide to the expedi
ton, Informs US that Capt. brakes command
is now encamped about Is miles beyond the
Warm Spring Reserve. They will remain
there until joined by Lieut.. Waymire and
party, when they will take up the line Of
march for Crooked river.
! A Government train of twenty-six mule
teams, left the Dalles yesterday for Captain
brakes expedition.
Col. Maury and staff yesterday left for Fl.
Boise, where the Col. will make his head
quarters when not in the field.
The expeditions that have already taken
the field cannot fail to force the Snakes from
their present camping ground and literally
drive them to the wall. The discovery of
gold in the Boise country, and the rapid in
lux of miners, drove them from their haunts
on'the Payette, and the country intervening
between that point and Fort Hall. AS last
resort, they fled TO the country of the BIC
Lakes, and there for the last year they have
lived in comparative safety. 1t is 10 hunt
them from this, their last camping ground,
that three expeditions have taken the field
tine first moving from klamath Lake, toward
the North the second from the Dalles, TAX
ing a south-easterly direction, and the third
from Walla Walla, which will complete the
sides Of triangle, which will gradually close
around the Indians, until they are reduced 10
the choice Of either making peace with the
whites or submitting to determination. The
term Snakes as applied to the Indians who
infest the country to be traversed by our
troops is scarcely correct in point of fact
They are outlaws and speradoes-fucitiyes
from all the bands this side of the mountains
who are associated together for the purpose
of plumber. They are quite as much opposed
to the Indians as the whites, and to all intsnts
and purposes are Ishmaelles, whose "hand
is against every man. To rid the country oil
these pests is the highest service the military
could render, and we are glad to know that
under the skillful direction of Col. Maury.
the Oregon cavalry have undertaken a task
the results of which will tell adyantageously
for every man having permanent interests
this side Of the Cascade range.

those who have more or less white blood. The

instances Of nnisspelling of words arising

under an iucesssnt FIRE of cannon and
nusketry-nor did We ride fast, but upon
an ordinary lrot. and not once do be-
lieve did it enter the Generals mind that
he was in danger / was by his side,
and watched him closely. In riding that
distance We we're going TO the front, and
I could see that he was studying the po-
sitions Of the two armies, and Of course
planning how TO defeat the enemy, who
was here making a most desperate stand,
and were slaugLtering our men fearfully.
After defeating and driving the enemy
here We returned to Chattanooga.
Another feature in General Grants
personal movements are, that he request
ed no escort beyond his staff, 30 regard
less Of danger is be. Roads are almost
useless to him, for he takes short cuts
through the fields and woods, and will
swim his horse through almost any stream
that obstructs his way. Nor does it
make any difference to him whether he
has daylight for his movement, for he
will ride from breakfast until one or two
10 the morning, and that too without eat
ing. The next day he will repeat the
dose until he finishes his work. Now,
such things come hard upon the staff,
but they have learned how to bear is.
