EDIroR STATESMAN In your issue Of the 9th
inst, notice Communication from your CORE.
spoudeut " Paterfamiliss," in regard to educa-
tion aud hard times. Permit me little space
in reply. As am a farmer, and have worked
on farm in this Valley every season since the
summer of 81, your correspondent will not &C,
cuse me of sel6shness in what have to say.
I" Paterfamilias" is right, think, in one thing,
that is, that the price of tuition aud wages Of
teachers should be in proportionate correspond
ence with the prices of other articles, and the
wages of men in other employments. The only
question to my mind is, is it not so now2 True,
the wages of teachers have not been reduced
exactly in proportion to other prices. But let
US examine the matter little more closely. A
few years ago teamsters received from $50 to
$50 a month; packers the same or more; clerks
from $50 to $75, and mechanics and profession
al men received proportionate remuneration
for their services. Yet the wages of school
teachers have been from $45 to $65 month.
Now, has this been just Have we not been, as
it were, cheating oursslves2 For we we'll know
that good teachers will not teach for this price,
when they can obtain better pay at some other
employment. | refer only to well qualified
teachers, for with those poorly qualified, l for
one, and presume others, wish to have nothing
to do. Yet, have we not by these very means
been driving good teachers from our midst
True, if we wish, we can refuse to pay the re>
munerative prices but will we not be the losers
by it? For instance, if can buy good sugar
for 20 cents per pound, and poor for l6, yet if
the poor is half sand, that which costs the most
will be the cheaper in the end. So it is in regard
to teachers. The experiment has been tried in
one county in Oregon. There enough teachers
could be obtained for from $25 to $35 per month,
but the qualifications of the teachers correspon-
ded with the prices. Good teachers left and
went to other counties where they were sufi-
ciently remunerated. If my reasoning is correct
thus far, let US now consider what should be
the pay of good teachers? l answer, the pay
should be in accordance with their qualifca-
tions. What the en-, should be their qualifications
First, they should have a good education, to
obtain which requires a large expenditure of
time and money. Next, they should have not
only good head, but also good heart, for if
they swear, lie, cheat and steal, the children
will very soon acquire these wees. To secure
all these qualities and attainmeDts, it is peces-
sary that good wages be paid in return. From
all these premises, the conclusion at which
arrive is, that the wages now paid are not more
than sufficient to- secure the services of compe-
tent teachers. In conclusion, would like to
hear from others in regard to this matter. Let
US have the whole question fully and fairly dis.
cussed. WALLA WALLA FARMER.

WAsTUCKSA FERRY, August 10, 1861,
EDITOR STATEsMAN:-Whatm means these threats
which we hear from day to day, from our Indi-
ans living along Snake river, given out slyly yet
menNcingly by the old men, more boldly by the
young men, and hailed with smile by the
"clootchmen p What means these anxious in
quiries after the news from the tribes in the
surrounding country, and whether the white
"tiees" think the Indians will ever fight again
What means these runners from one tribe to an
other, and holding their war dances, and making
long speeches frequently continuing them till
midnight? These are questions which, to a
casual observer, would appear of but little i'm
portance but to one who has spent 10 years
among the "red skins" on our frontiers, they are
omiuOus of no good. The Indians on Snake
river may never rise masss to drive back the
advance of the white man, but their present ac>
tions show very clearly that they are very much
dissatisfied with the rapid advance of ciViliza
tion. The settlements along the river here are
so sparse that the Indians are very insolent, and
in some instance outrageous only few days
since a neignbor of mine was forced to stand and
see band of rs horses driven through his field
of growing corn, simply because their trail had
formerly run through the valley where be had
his farm, and when expostulated with, one of
them drew his bow and arrow and replied, that
he was on Indian land, and vas going to travel
Indian lands, and if the white man did not like
it be had better 60 to the white mans land.
Now, Mr.. Editor, among the settlers on Snake
river, are those who went through the war of
'55-6; lived on horse meat and slept the
frozen ground without blankets and are such
men as these to be driven away from their places
by these same Indians, through the wilful neg
lect Of our public officials We petitioned to
the Superintendent of Indian Affairs some six
months ago, asking that the Indians be taken to
their reservations, but received no notice. Now,
Mr.. Editor, send you this statement, which you
may publish or not, just as you like, but as a
public journalist you certainly can do something
for US. ]. B. FosTER.

THREATENED INDIAN DIFFIcULIEs.-Ws
learn with much regret that disturbance i,
likely to arise between our people and the
Nez Percc Indians. 1t seems that Ger tain
white men insist upon cutting wood on Craig's
mountain, adjacent to Lapwai valley, which
the Indians claim is in violation Of their
rights. The white men attempt to iustiF1
the act on the grounds that the wood is be,
ing cut for the party who has the contract
to furnish wood to the military post at the
Lapwai; and it seems. that they are sustained
in this view by the officers in command.
There is no question but that these Indians
have general cause of complaint against our
people. The promises made Oh the part of
our Government in their favor, have seldom
ever been observed, and its plighted faith TO-
wards them has often been violated. In
1855 the whites wanted a portion of their
country, and consequently the Indians had
10 relnquish it. In 1861 again, the whites
wanted another portion of their country, and
again the Indians were compelled to treat
for its cession; and without a compliance
with the stipulations of either treaty the
Indians will soon be forced to draw them>
selves into the narrow limits of small re-
served part; and even there they are pursued
by the rapacity of the white mau, -Lepiston

PH1L1p RITz, ESQ. 81 am in receipt of
YOURS of June 18th, and am much obliged
for the information therein contained, as
we'll as the article upon the statistics of the
country on the North Pacific Line, which L
shall have republished in our papers, regard
ing them as valuable contribution to the
history Of that section, which now is SO little
known in the East. You will have seen
from the papers ere this, that We have taken
into our Board, the Presidents of the Penn
sylVania, Pittsburg and Fort Wayne, Chicago
and North Western, Erie and New York
Central Railroads, which make it one of the
strongest on this continent, 10 ability and
railroad experience. Our engineers are now
surveying from Lake Superior to the Red
River, and General James Tilton, who was
Surveyor General of Washington Territory,
has gone to Puget Sound to make an exam
ination Of the mountain passes. The oppo-
nents of our line, assert that we cannot get
over the Cascade Mountains, and hence it
becomes important, before Congress meets,
20 demonstrate beyond doubt the practi-
cability of such an operation. We shall do
nothing towards locating any lines this sea-
son, but it is all important for us to have all
the information we can about the mountain
passes, both of the Cascades and Rocky rams
ges, in order that we may rebut any state-
ments which our enemies may make. There.
fore, all that our friends can do on the Pacific
coast to throw light upon this subject, should
be done, and sent forward sooR before Coz
gresS meets. The first thing is to get grant
from Congress, the same as the other line has,
and all our efforts at present are directed to
getting such information as will satisfy Con-
gress of the importance and necessity of and
for the North Pacific route
Yours, &c, THos. A. CANFIELD,
