More About the Indians.

EDIroR STATESMAN 1T is query in my mind
why the military are so slow in putting stop to
the continued depredations of the Indians along
the road between Grand Ronde aud Snake river
Every day, persons returning from Boise tell of
attacks and raids being made By Indians on set.
tiers and teamsters along the road through the
Burnt river, and into the edge Of Powder river
vallies. Some have narrowly escaped BY fast
running, with the marks of bullets on their per-
son or clothes others have lost stock from
night attack, recovering probably portion of it
BY following the Indians for a dAy or two; while
the settlers are constantly hArrassed aud annoy
ed BY the almost daily raids of these thievinV
ssvages, thus disturbing them from their aRri-
cultural pursuits or other lAbors, and detering
miners from their researches in that rich mineral
region, aad in every way interfering with the
development Of the country. l could give you
the particulars Of scores of such attacks and
raids which have occurred within the last three
months. Surely the Government should send
troops enough there to make it safe for travellers
or settlers between here and Boise. Even within
IS miles Of WallA Walla City, settlers must
abandon their farms and allow their crops, (the
labor Of year) to be destroyed, and there is
not corporAl's guard Of soldiers at this Garrison
to send to their protection.

GOOSE CREEK EXCITEMENT.-The Green
river fever is apparently subsiding for lack
of material to feed upon, and the Goose
Greek stage begins to be uppermost. The
discoveries Of GOLD byeond the Humboldt,
in the northeastern section of the State,
have preserved silence for long time, and
but little has leaked out concerning what
they found. We learn that both placers
and quartz lodges have been discovered,
and that specimens Of both have been ex-
hibiled to few persons in town The exact
locality of these discoveries is purposely
involved in doubt, but We ascertain that it
does not extend to Goose Creek One of
the parties that claim the discovery crossed
The Humboldt river little below Gravelly
Ford, aud their diggings, of whatever kind,
lie some fifty to seventy miles northeast OF
that point. Little parties left The city last
evening and early this morning, very quietly,
of course. Lumber was sent off YESTERDAY,
that is said to be intended for huming
operation, and this morning the sight Of
"cradle" in the street suggested bar diggings
We hope the enterprising discoverers will
reap rich golden harvcSt-Recse River

THE eastern WHEAT CRop.-From tn e

THE EASTERN WHEAT CRoP.-From the
best and most reliable information that
can be gathered, it appears that the average
of winter wheat is about as large as last year.
In some of tho principal wheat growing
States it is less, but in many of the South
ern States, the increased breadth sown COM
pensates for the falling off in other States.
In point of " condition the facts are still
more encouraging Nearly all of the States
show an improvement in the quality of the
grain-rangiug from seven to one hundred
aud sixty per cent. over the crop of last
year. The average of spring wheat is largely
increased-rauging from 25 to 90 per cent
over the crop of last year, in the several
wheat producing States. This increase in
breadth will tell preceptibly upon the aggre.
gate yield. 1t has been estimated, from
data in possession of the Agricultural De.
partment, at Washington, that at least two
hundred millions of bushels may be expected
from the entire yield of the United States

GRANITE CREEK.-Tbis noted rich min
ing camp of this Basin is fourisbi1g beyond
any camp in Idaho. The main street is be-
ing rapidly built up, with stores and busis
ness shops, and heavy stocks Of goods are
on the way there. The mines continue to
pay very richly, and we are tod of a sale Of
a creek claim, by Mr.. Brainard to comp
any of Portuguese, last week, for 1000.
There is lively excitement upon the sub>
ject of quartz since the late rich discoveries
in that vicinity, and parties are out Prospec-
ting in all directions. Practical miners, who
have lived longest on Granite Greek, believe
it to be one Of the best gold quartz districts
in all Idaho, aud expect that very rich and
extensive lodges will'be found World.

MONTANA PoLIrIcs. - The Union Territorial
convention, which met at Helena, on the Sd
inst, nominated Col. W. F. Sanders as eandi,

democrats had previously nominated Hon. Jas.
L. OaVenaugh, former member of Congress from
Minnesota, as their candidate. Both the nomi-
nss' are able men, and whichever party is sue'
ess'ful the Territory iS sure to be we'll repre>
ssntsd. The resolutions adopted BY the Union
oonvention sustain the Congressional policy Of
rseOuShuetion, and BY implication favor negro
suffrage. Judging BY the papers, the democrats
are Sanguine Of carrying the Territory.

ATTEMPT TO FIRE LEEsBURG.-O We'd
nesday night last an attempt was made to
fire Leesburg by some william. 1t was a
premeditated affair, and well planned. Two
or three balls of cotton, saturated with coal
oil, were set on FIRE and thrown under a
building, but the timely arrival of Mr.. Pat.
Bolster, the night watchman, saved the city.
We suggest the only expedient for any one
caught in the act-hang him high and dry.

TIE GRAssHoPPER PLAGUE. - Our Utah and
Montana exchanges are filled with accounts of
the destruction of the growing crops by grass
hoPPers. In Montana the visitation has been
particularly severe. In some of the vallies ev-
cry green thing has disappeared in the track of
the deVOuring hosts, and the damage to the
crops can scarcely be overestimated. So far
thsy prefer to feed on garden stuff and wheat,
leaving barley and the csarssr grain untouched.

swarmed into the valley of the Prickly Pear
on the 3lst ult., and are playing sad havoc
with the crops. Mr.. Wilcox, whose ranch
is on the Prickly Pear, at the crossing of
the New York road, informs US that the
grasshoppers have destroyed bis garden, and
have eaten up his corn. He noticed that
they had attacked neighbor's wheat Mr.,
Woods and will probably soon destroy

hsesut of Mount Adams.

EDITOR STATESMAN :-In this season of dull
times, when business drags, and the hot sun is
pouring down its melting rays without mercy, it
is refreshing to seek the mountain tops, and
breathe the invigorating air of these sequestsred
shades. During the last few years, while the
cares and distractions of successful business ops
erations have consumed the entire attention Of
our people, but little or no attention has been
paid to exploring the rare curiosities of nature
which are found in our Territory. Having spent
a short time in the Cascade mountains, allow me
to give you brief description of our excursion :.
Our party consisted of half dozen ladies },
seven gentlemen, one boy, and an Indian, who
bad charge of the baggage train, consisting of
two pack animals. We were well mounted, aud
and left the place of our rendezvous, which was
near the mouth of the White Salmon river, on
tue last day of July, 1867. The White Salmon
river rises directly from the western side of
Mount Adams, distance of some fifty miles,
runs south and empties into the Columbia river
about twenty miles west of the Dalles. After a
ride often miles over a mountainous trail, which
we were continually reminded was a wagon road,
We came IN
