INDIANS IN THK Willow CRkRK CoUK-
TRY.-from various sources we have accounts
Of Indian depredations 10 the Willow creek
country. In regard to the fght occurring at
the malheur on last Monday week, we have
the following particulars It appears that
the Indians have been stealing stock for some
time, and having went into Amelia City, aud
taken quite number, Eve persons-Peter
Raney, Jonas Bellknap. T. Il. B. Palmer,
Samuel Ton, and Robert Young-started in
pursuit, on Saturday the 23d ult., and over.
took the Indians on the Monday following,
and were repulsed with one Of their number,
Bellknap, killed, and Robert Yeung wound
ed. The father of young Bellkusp becoming
uneasy about his son, started in company
with three others, on Monday morning. to
learn something of the party with whom his
son was. So far as heard from no word has
been received from him and his little party,
and the supposition is, that these men have
also been killed by the Indians. DIR. Thibi.
do, OF this city, was called to administer to
Mr.. Young, and went to the crossing Of the
Malheur for that purpose. On his return
plenty of fresh Indian sign was noticed for
several miles along the road, which caused
the Doctor, to use his own word, to feel
each particular hair to stand on end" The
little force of soldiers stationed at the cross
ing are efno avail, being barely sufficient to
keep communication open between the differ
ent military camps. By express, from LOup,
W. +. Cos, messenger, We learn that the
most intense excitement exists in that coun-
try, the inhabitants turned out 10 great nuns
bers, and were on the track of the Indians.
They have found the bodies Of several persons
killed and scalped by the Indians, of which
nothing has heretofore been beard. They
were strangers and uurecoguizable. For
Gods sake how long is this state of Affairs
to exist l-BOise Democrat.

TIE ETELEGRAPH.-We notice that the telegraph
is completed and in working order TO the Dalles.
The company are now prepared to continue the
line on up the river. and are only waiting sub
scrpious from the towns on the line. The
proposition is to follow the Columbia river to
Wallula and thence to walla Walla. If the
requisite aid is extended, it is the intention of
the projectors of the line to extend it to Boise
Basin. A subscription paper has already been
circulated in our town, and over one thousand
dollars subscribed. Those of our citizens who
feel disposed to aid the enterprise, are requested
to call on Judge Mix, who will be happy to take
down their names. The money subscribed is
not 20 be paid until the line is completed, thus
assuring subscribers that they will get what they
bargain for.

IxPRovENESrs.-We notice that number of
Improvements are being made at the lower end
of Main street. A fLe building designed for a
hotel, is being erected Immediately opposite to
Reese's warehouse, and other improvements
underway in that neighborhood give evidence of
prosperity Things look as though our friend
Reese intends to capture the Railroad depot, and
locate it on his addition Wherever the cars
stop building lots are likely to be in demand.

TIE CRoPs.-From all parts of the Valley we
receive the most cheering accounts in regard to
the growing crop. The frequent rains of the
last month have caused vegetation to put forth
with more than ordinary vigor, and the prospect
now is that the crop of this season will surpass
any previous year. The rains with which wa
have been favored have extended TO wide scope
of countryJand as q consequence the farmers in
all the Valleys east of the mountains, are likely
to have unusually heavy crops, Let US be thank
ful to Him who sends the early and latter rains.
