TIE M1OOy WAR.

While civilization stands aghast over
the Indian atrocities committed on the
borie. line of California and Oregon,
there has been scarcely a thought he
slowed upon the savage warfare that
was not tempered with rancor and ha-
/ tred of the barbarous foe. 1t is assumed
as matter of course. that he has gone
to war through pure devilishness,
merely to CRAFTY his brutal instincts
and savage nature by the sight OF blood.
Nobody ever appears to think that lie
my h we wrongs, that he fancies it is his
duty to redress, or that he can be forced
into conAic. as the only alternative of
grievances too heavy to be borne.
1t is not the purpose to apologize for
these misdeeds. Aterrible punishment
VIII be meteI ont TO him, whether JUS
tifel By the law of self-defcnse or not.
A consideration Of facts recently elic-
tied by correspondent of the San
Francisco Chronicle, in an interview
with Elijah Steele, for many years in
former times, Superintendent of In
dian Affairs in the northern part of
California, puts quite different face
upon the matter than that usually seen
BY the public. He says that the Mo-
docs were actually driven to war by ILL.,
treatment of those having them in
charge. TLcy have faithfully observed
their treaty stipulat:ons, and restricted
their habitation to the narrow limits
prescribed by the Government, and have
endcavored to live in peace with their
white brethren; but the agents of the
Government have robbed them Of their
annuites and supplies until they were
reduced to the verge of starvation. A
small edition OF the Credit Mobilicrs'
was established by the agents and con-
tractors, whereby they contracted with
themselves to supply the Indians with
beef and other articles of food. The
highest rates were paid Of course, and
had the grievance ended here, poor Lo
would have borne in silence; but when
Government paid for what was never
delivered, and for which they were suf-
fering the pangs of starvation, then
they commenced the struggle for an ex-
istence rather than to be murdered by
degrees through the heartless avarice of
those charged with ministe1ing to their
temporal wants. This is the substance
of Mr.. Steele's report (who, We believe,
is a brother of DR.. Steele, of this place.,
and from his long experience and inter
course with the hostile tribes, it is pre-
sumed that his testimony is reliable.
But what better can be expected
from department of the Government,
which has always been noted for the
thieving operations whereby the In
dams were defrauded and large fortunes
amassed in short time by those who
should have been their friends and
protectors? Is there any justice in the
relentless spirit manifested whenever
this subject is preached in the presence
Of our civilized and Christianized
neighbors? Is the Indian with d" untu-
tored mind" and savage mein, to be con-
demned for the possession of feeling
ofresentment against wrong that would
be applauded amongst civilized peo-
pie? LIE. us look at the matter in its
true light, and learn to have charity
for even the most humble.

HoMIcrpE.-A dispatch dated at Swim
omish, on the 7th inst, states that q
fatal shooting affair occurred on the
Skagit river, on the 9Th inst, resulting
in the death of Thomas Bozart, at the
hand of Julian Olney. 1t appears that
the trouble originated from an impro-
per intimacy between Bozart and o.
ney' wife, which existed before Olncy
married her. Olney, on learning from
his wife the story of her wrongs,
walked up to Bozart with q double-bar-
relied shot gun loaded with buck-shot,
and shot him dead. Olney then gave
himself into custody.

A PLEASANT AFFAIR." After the regu-

members of the fire department, and
invited guests, partook of bountiful
and elegant repast, furnished by Chas.
Burmister, Esq, the late Foreman Of

enjoyed his hospitality, and whiled
away the time by short speeches and
songs till nearly midnight, when the
party separated with many expressions
of regard. Mr.. Burmister, in this in
stance, has but manifested his usual
generous disposition and regard for the
happiness of his fellow man.

New SYSTEM OF MAILING. We have
lately obtained one of Hoe e. Co.'S pat
cnt addressing machines, by which we
are enabled to print the name of each
subscriber on the margin, with the date
at which the subscription has expired
or may terminate. We are now revis-
ing our mail lists, and will soon as pos
sible complete all the dates; and then
those who may be in arrears can read
lily calculate the precise amount to
remit, while those who have paidin adj
vance have perpetual receipt for their
money during the time the subscription
runs. The plan adopted is the best yet
devised for rapid and accurate add ess-
ing, and it's legibility and neatness rec
ommends it to postmasters as we'll as

ELECTION By PURcHAsE.-The Chicago
Times naively says: Public men who
are inclined to doubt that an imperative
necessity exists for reform in our cleo
toral method, if we are to continue in
this country even the semblance of a
representative form of government,
have doubtless already observed that a
change in our mode of electing law
makers is taking place with some rapid
ity. The developments in Washington
show very plainly that the old mode of
election by votes is being superseded by
the later mode of election by purchase.
Dollars are taking the place of ballots.
A bank-check is found more potent
than a dozen stump speeches. The
ballot-box is antiquated; the cash-box
is the more modern and sure road to
Office. Think of those model reformers,
Caldwell, Patterson, Harlan, Thayer,
ct al, going to the Senate in the old
way of Webster, Clay, and Silas Wright.
The idea is positively antediluyian in
these better days of election by pur-
chase.

old ST. Valentine. the patron Of lovers.
4 large number of tender missiyes
passed through the post office, and net
very few tough ones, if those received
by lis is a fair sample. This custom is
supposed TO have originated from the
prominent traits of character OF st. VAL

charity. Others trace it to the sup
posed custom OF birds selecting their
mates on that day, and still others to
Roman practice at the FESTIVAL of the

women were put in box, from which
they were taken by young men as

that the Government supplies the banks
with money for the asking, SO far as
the banks are privileged to draw cur
rency, guaranteed by the nation, on
their deposits of United States bonds,
while the interest OH the latter still ac-
crues to their benefit. "Why the
people should continue this profitable
monopoly TO the banks he says, "' is
what no fellow can find out And he
adds the following suggestion, which
shows up in sufficiently strong light
the naked inquiry of continuing the
monopoly: If the banks must still
be the medium through which the credit
Of the nation shall be supplied to the
people, let them receive greenbacks to
the full amount of the bonds they may
deposit; stop the interest on the bonds
so deposited, abolish all bank taxation
based on circulation, and relieve the
banks from the necessity of keeping
the currency reserve now required"
