INDIANS KILLED.-A correspondent of the Owy-
hee Aralanche, writing from Camp Three Forks,
August 18th, says:
According to promise, I am very happy to re-
port to you the late Indian fight of Col. j. J. Cop
pinger Twenty-third Volunteer Infantry. The
Colonel left Camp Three Forks, 0wyhee, on the
18th instant. After travelling down the Creek he
came in contact with small band of Indians. The
Indian scouts estimated them at from eight to ten
in number. Notwithstanding the wild horses the
Colonel's command was mounted on he made
fine charge; rocks and sagebrush were not known.
After running the Indians some five or six miles to
the main river Owyhee, where they took water,
there not an Indian seen to come ont on the
opposite side they are supposed to have been all
killed. The Colenel then went TO Camp Three
Forks arriving there ON the l4th, and sent out the
Indian scouts soon after camping. At three o clock
the scouts returned and reported a camp some
twelve miles from the Forks. At half past three
the command moved out. and at two o'clock on the
morning of the 18th, they made complete sur
prise, killing the whole camp, thought to be from
fifteen to twenty. except Two prisoners, who
now in camp. and destroying large quantity of
dried fish, etc. The prisoners give information of
four more camps, which the Colonel will most like
ly destroy to night. 1t is very evident that Colo
mel Coppinger is the right man in the right place
and the Warm Spring Indians, in charge of Daniel
Mckay are the boys for scouts

The lakes are series of marshes-at times miles

rocky shore on the east, and on the west the lakes
are bordered by the usual variety of scenery and
