Difficulties at Ynquina Bay-Settlers
Alarmed.
From the Alta California, Jan. 2s.l

From the Alta California Jan. 2sl
BY the arrival OF a schooner from Yaquina Bay
we learn that there Is great excitement among
the settlers OF that region on account OF the con-
dnct OF the Indians, who were continuing their
wild dance in hopes Of bringing back to earth their
dead braves. The medicine med declare that they
have received message from the Great Spirit to
the effect that their friends will not return until
some OF the whites have been killed. The settlers
around Toledo are building block house fort Tor
their protection, while the people around Elk City
are fully alarmed at the conduct of the Indians,
and number OF families have gone across the
mountains into Benton county for safety. On
the 18th instant the fine residence OF L. N.
Sawtelle three miles below Elk City, was
burned to the ground having been fred by
the Indians. At Elk City the excitement became
intense. The women and children were placed on
board the steamer Oneatta for safety, and men
armed with Henry rifles and reviewers were pick
eted on the outskirts OF the town. They captured
one Indian, who had been employed by the whites,
and he said che was sick at heart, as he had spent
the whole night In a talk with the 'Siwashes,' At
Old Samb0's camp" He declared that the Indians
were very mad, and had determined upon gen.
and appropriate all their property. He had refused
to joi the Indians and had come to the whites for
protection. He afterwards denied his story, say
ing he had told it Tor the purpose or soaring the
whites The citizens, however, believe they are in
great danger, and are collecting all the settlers.
they are loud in their complaints against General
Palmer. the Indian Agent at Siletz Reservation,
who has gone or to Salem instead OF attending
TO his duties at the Reservation, and who might do
something to restrain the red devils II he was
among them.

TIE CREDIT MOBILIER OF AMERICA..ITS
SECRET HISTORY.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. /, 1877;

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 1, 1873.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
NV attention has been called to the report Of the
remarks of Messrs. Boyd ana Smith in the Penn
sSlyania Constitutional Convention in reference to
the Credit Mobiier. The former said that the
charter had been granted by the Legislature of
Pennsylvania for $50, ooO after 100000 had been
onered to the Legislature Of New York and $3.50 900
to the Legislature sfNew Jersey for such charter
without success. Mr.. Smith said that the charter
stock book and papers were stolen and bodily car
ried of to New York when the company known as
the Credit Mobilier was organized. Neither of
these statements Is correct. The truth is as fol-
lows
MY father, General DUFF Green, obtained the
charter OF the Pennsylvania Fiscal Agency from the
Legislature OF Pennsylvania at the session OF 1865
ana 1859. Not dollar, not cent, was paid or OF.

ture for the cnarter. His purpose was to organize

capitalists, including the European holders of

Railroad in Texas, connecting with the New Or

embezzlemcnt. 1t IS asserted in many quarters
that he took advice from General Butler as to the
best course for him to pursue but, II he did, he
certainly failed to follow such policy as Butler
would have been likely to suggest Butler Is too
fond Of dramatic effects to have allowed him to
kill a single bird till the whole fock had lit. Ames
preferred to wing them separately, and he
brought Patterson down at the first shot.
He met Patterson's denial with proofs which
utterly confuted and COMPOUNDED the Senator, and
set or the allegations Of the New Hampshire par
son that he had never owned any Credit Mobilier
stock with the receipts for the dividends. 1t was
impossible to have aimed o harder blow, and it's
success was overwhelming. Patterson chung to his
story, but Ames added proof upon proof. and OF
last showed conclusvely that the Senator had been
imploring him to commit perjury. This only
warmed the blood OF the sh0vemaker, and he next
undertook the task OF annihilating Colfax. Colfax
too denied ever having owned any Credit MobIer
stock, but admitted that he paid Ames $500 on &C.
count OF stock he was to receive. AS according to
his own story, he never got the stock, and had not
been paid back the money, Ames was place. In the
position OF common swinder Ames did not
have the receipts in his case he had In Patter-
sons and SO 1t was necessary TO meet Colfax in a
different way. He went to his memorandum book
and found that on a certain day he had
given Colfax a check on the Sergeant-at-Arms for
$780, payable to S. G. or bearer Colfax denied
ever having received the check but his bank ac-
count showed that on the same day he had made a
deposit OF $1,000 in United States notes. But he
had already involved himself in contradictions by
his tales Of his poverty and his declarations that
he had no private means, that he felt his post
ton to be weak, II not utterly untenable. He ac-
cordngy gave out that he will be able to prove by
three different persons that he received money
enough from them to make up the amount Of the
deposit. Unfortunately for his reputation for
veracity he will be met even here by an ugly piece
of circumstantia evidence; for at that time the
banks were paying out only their own money
and keeping the United States notes in
their possession as reserve fund. 1t would
not have been easy for Colfax to get
this peculiar kind OF money from three
different persons. Under all the circumstances the
inference seems perfectly justiGable that he OBJ
tained 1t rom the Sergeant-at-Arms, and that the
$. @. check means exactly what Ames says It
means. Besides. nobody knows what other proofs

is ready for it and will bring the army to its
support As to the sentiment of the people,
there can be no doubt that large ma
jority would heartily support and patriotical-
ly sustain Republic, but few intrjguers have
seized the control of the government and will
use it to bring about the old wrongs and
abuses which in time will eliminate in revo-
luton. The most deplorable result OF TINS
reaction will be the restoration OF the church

government and the establishment OF the
papal power. Church and State, in any form,

Especial Correspondence of the Press.l

Especial Correspondence of the Press.]
WELLS BEACH, Aug. IA, 1873
Among the sea shore resorts of our own
State, York county furnishes an unusual num-
Der, and of these some of the most popular are
located in the town of Wells, one of the most
ancient towns in the State, the advantages of
which, as summer resort, have been known
for many years. Unlike some watering places
it possesses more than single attraction. Be
sides its fine beach which is not surpassed,
probably, by any in the State for the privilege
it affords for riding and bathing, there are op-
portunities for fishing, sailing. shooting berry,
ing, etc. There are three hotels at the beach,
all of which have been well patronized the
present season. Besides these, these there are
several boarding houses and residences, which,
together with the bathing and fishing houses
constitute quite village. The beach is about
one half mile from the main road and about
one and one half miles from the new Boston
and Maine depot. The proposed Eastern Rail-
road extension will probably locate depot
much nearer.
There are several points of attraction in the
vicinity of Wells, the most popular of which are
the Cliff, perpendicular wall of stone, forty
feet high, at Ball Head in Cape Neddock, and
Mount Agamentcus, in York. Many parties
from the hotels and from among the villagers,
spend the day at these resorts. The scenery at
the Cliff is grand in the extreme, especially af-
ter severe storm, when the waves of old ocean
dash mountains high against this bulwark of
nature. 1t was but few rods from this point
that the new ship Isadore, from Kennebunk
was wrecked upon the night of the day she
sailed, more than thirty years ago, all hands
perishing in the watery element.
Kennebunkport. adjoining Wells, is very
enterprising town and increasing in popularity
as summer resort. Besides many who take
up their abode in the village, the new Ocean
Blnff house, situated upon romantic elevation
about a mile from the village, and at the
mouth of the harbor is nearly or quite filled
with boarders. The company who own the
House, also own abont seven hundred acres of
land in the vicinity, much of which they have
divided up into house lots, which they propose
to improve and sell. Shipbuilding which has
been so dull for several years at the Port, is
now very brisk. There are two ships, one of
which is twenty-five hundred tons, and five
schooners, in process of construction at pres
ent.
Hon. d. W. Gooch of Massachusetts, a native
of Wells, returned to his residence in Melrose
last Tuesday, after sojourn of three weeks
here. H.
