Interesting News from Kootenai.

Mr.. A. E. Riddles, of the Kootenai Express,
who arrived here last night direct from Koote-
naia--having left there on the 9Th December
gives us the following interesting items from
that quarter:
The reports in regard to the new diggings on
frmed to be generally believed in the mines,
and all who could go have gone thither, taking
with them from three to five months provisions.
The diggings are about 200 miles from the Wild
Horse mines, in a north-westerly direction in a
basin, and much more exteniYe than the Koo-
tenai mines. The gold is of the same character
as that found on Wild Horse Greek.
Provisions were scarce and high at Fisher
vile. Flour was selling at $40 per hundred
aud rising, with prospect Of going up to $3.50.
Sugar and beans were the only articles that were
plentiful. All kinds of clothing was very scarce.
The restaurants and saloons in the town were
all being closed up. There were only about
100 men remaining in the mines at Wild Horse
Creek, the remainder having gone to the new
mines or come below.
The packers en- the road were losing all their
animals. On the 18th, George Green was with
in 80 miles of the mines with his train. His an =
imals were dying, and it was doubtful whether
he would get into the mines with any of them.
Passed Mr.. Newman with his train 35 miles this
side of Bonner's Ferry. He had lost 38 out of
46 animals; was out of provisions himself and
Il,
cred a mule the night Mr.. R. overlook him.
Mr., Linsey was at the Pen dOreille with his
train, and had lost nearly all his animald.
Charles Barclay was at Tobacco plains and
was also losing his annals.
The snow is from two to FIVE feet deep on the
route, and it is doubtful whether the packers
will get through with single animal to the
Spokane.
Mr. Riddles travelled three days without pro-
visions before he reached Bonner's Ferry there
he could only get scanty supper, and was COM
PEELED to travel day and night again without
anything to eat, when he overlook Mr.. Newman
and obtained some mule meat of him. Between
there and the Spokane he met Mr.. Johnson, OF
the opposition ferry, travelling out packing pro-
visions on his back for the relief of travellers
coming down. Several men have been badly
frozen on the road Mr.. johnson has two men
at his ferry so badly frozen that they will prob
ably die. Both are without means. The Hud-
sons Bay expressman reported that five men had
been frozen to death on the road.
Mr.. Lincklider the Hudsons Bay Co.'S Agent
at Tobacco Plains, says the winter commenced
earlier this year and has been severer there than
for the ten previous years.

meaningless mess of twaddle. Had such
resolutions been due the Governor, your cor.
respondent firmly believes they would have
met with little or no opposition and would
have openly conveyed to him the expression
of that body. Such weak subterfuges robs
the compliment intended to be conveyed Of
both honor and merit, and it is go understood
in all enlightened circles.

citizens have found another "Rule Fifteen"
not mentioned in Jefferson" nor fully COM
pretended by the Boise delegation time will
determine. We are told by the disciples of
Blackstone that such is the case beyond
doubt; further, that our "southern brethren"
will be called over the very loao ridges and
broad gage road, extending from that de-
lightful country to this, again next fall to
to legislate the Capitol away "some more"

E1cellency, he became little irritable and
asserted that no attention would be paid to
the mandate. This was simply natural
Who would like all their little arrangements
and pleasant antici pations overturned by the
great ugly hand of the law? A little cool
reflection, upon his part, saved the Court
the necessity of insisting upon his Excellen-
cy's waiving further attentions from his un-
welcome visitor. The people are much op-
posed to the Capitol leaving the Territory

quent cases upon record where petty crimi-
mails have skulked away from the officers of
justice, but this is the first time your cor
respondent has become aware of a "high
toned" Governor fleeing from the mandate
of Probate Judge. A writ already issued
was Immediately served upon the acting
Secretary, and the Sheriff has now in charge
all the Capitol effects. Much excitement
was created by this act of bad faith, but the
more judicious are endeavoring to keep the
people within the pale of law and order An
other instance of this kind and we sincerely
fear that the advisers and perpetrators will
be the cause of another blot upon our fair
name in this part Of the Territory.

KILLING AT LAGRANDE.-From Mr.
Loop, of Wells, Fargo & Cos Express, we
get the following particulars of bloody
and fatal shooting afray which occurred at
La Grande last week:
Pat Tobin formerly watchman in this
0ity) and stage-drivsr, belonging to Ish &
Haleys stage line, named George Peltro, be-
ing under the influence of liquor, went into
a soloon kept by two brothers named Hayes.
While there, Peltro become noisy, and one
of the brothers, who at the time had charge
of the saloon, attempted to put him out.
A difficulty ensued, which Pat interfered to
put stop to. In the meantime, the other
brother was sent for and came in, when the
row became general, and Pat, either by ac-
cident or Intentionally, shot him through the
body while apparently drawing his pistol
from his belt, Hayes then drew derringer
and shot Pat, the ball entering his back and
coming out in the region of the heart In
the meantime, Drlsk hrlng was Kept up be-
tween Peltro and the other brother, both of
whom were ot,-Hays twice, through the
abdomen, and probably mOrtally wounded,
and Peltro four times, through the body
and killed. After Pat was shot he sat down
and commenced shooting wheU vas shot
by one of the brothers, th-oas-. e head,
and after that he continued firing until he
he had discharged all the loads in his revol-
yer and snapped it three or four times after
wards before he expired. There were thir-
teen shots fred, nine of which took effect.
Both the Hayes brothers were considered
m0rtally wounded and have probably died
ere this

THE winter beyond the mountains has
been much severer this season than last. In
portions of the Grand Ronde valley snow
has fallen to depth of from one to two feet.
In Powder river valley it has been deeper,
and all along the line of the road to Boise
the ground is covered with snow. In the
Boise Basin it is from four to FIVE feet deep.
Unless the weather becomes milder very
soon but few of the immigrant stock will
survive the winter.

LEWISTON, Dec: 9th, 1864.

LEWISTON, Dec 9th, 1864.
EDS. STATESMAN The last eommuni-
cation from your "Lewiston correspondent"
has fairly set the Executive clique, from the
insignificant poodle down to the mastiE him
self, on fire. Direful threats and hostile de-
monstrations were made against "Index,"
providing his identity could be sufficiently
proven. All of which, SO far, have ended
in very weak editorial that bears evidence
of having emanated from the "eagle quilP'
of his Excellency. Your correspondent did
not intend to deny the right of his Excel
lency to use the Executive prerogative, nor
to charge upon him the crime of bribery
He simply gave your readers the substance
of rumor with attending circumstances as
they transpised and had become the com
mon topic of conversation here, for which
he holds himself collectively liable and in
dividually responsible" )"
THE LAST DAYS OF THE SESSION
were taken up with violent attempts to make
the outside world and the Cabinet at Wash
iueton believe that the Union element of
this Territory was intensely loyal. In fact
had absorbed all the patriotism which had
been nourished and cultivated since the in
fant struggle of the republic. In order to
produce this effect, the Military Bill was
framed near the Executive Office, and intro
duced, offering bounty of $3.50 to each sol
dier enlisted, to be paid out Of the Terrific
rial Treasury. The three companies for
which the bill provided would tnds cost US
the neat sum of $4,000 without counting
the cost of raising, boarding and fitting them
to be received by the Government, nor any
compensation for the company of Indians
that was to cooperate in their fearful de-
signs Your correspondent listened atten-
lively to the harangues made by the friends
of the bill, and failed to discover single ar
gument in its favor. The only object sought
was undoubtedly "buncombe'' for the adhe
rents. No sane mind who really had at heart
the interest of our Territory, could be will
ling to saddle it with debt of at least $780,
900, without the remotest idea of how or
when it was to be lquidated; at time too,
when no cause existed for such emergent ac-
tion Much was said about putting them
selves (republicans) upon the record; from
which we infer that this "cheap John" plan
was devised for such purpose. 1t cost them
but little to sit in their seats and vote Tax
of five dollars upon every man, woman and
child in the Territory. All for whatY All
for little buncombe," at the expense Of
others; involving their own country in ruin
Not one argument was advanced showing in
what manner the people were to be benefit
ted; not one valid excuse given for thus rob-
bing them of their hard earned gains, who
are now overtaxed to support Federal off
GERS in this Territory. No, the people were
not once thought of or referred to, except in
connexion with taxation, by the republican
members, throughout the discussion The
Bill, after reaching the House, was buried
without military honors, and took along with
it one of the same family, less Objectionable,
the Miitia Bill
