From IDAHo.-Mr. Parker of this place
has lust received a letter from his sOn-in-
law, Samuel Lowe, from Nez Perces,
Idaho, under Cate Of November 9th, in
which it is stated the Indians have re-
Gently driven all the white Inhabitants
from Wallowa Valley. The cause Of the
hostility Oh the part of the savaees is
thus given: A settler named McKnali
killed an Indian without any provoca-
ton. Some of the settlers were subse-
quently fishing from boat upon the
lake whea large party of Indians ap-
peared and ordered them to desist, to
which no attention was paid, whereupon
the Indians attacked the whites and beat
them with the boats paddles until they
were supposed to be dead, when the boat
containing the bodies was pushed out
into the lake. After the boat drifted
into the middle of the lake the wounded
men recovered their senses and inefect-
ually attempted to regain the shore by
propelling the boat with their hands.
After drifting about for three days ia
yorable wind drove the boat to land, and
the almost famished and thoroughly ex-
hausted party succeeded by painful ef-
forts in making their escape, The In
dams drove all the settlers out of the
valley, who took refuge at Fort Lapwai,
which is near Nez Perces. Lowe, with
his family. removed from this place to
Idaho few months ago.-lElko indie

in point we will state that almost the
entire force Of this Office has been call
ed upon a: this time to DO jury duty.
When we consider the fact that q pa
per must come OFT whatever occurs,
this amounts 10 nothing less than an

the matter; and as becomes faithful
member of the craft preservative, the
said scribe promises to do the best he
can to relieve the composing-stick, the
Devil's-tail, the tripod, the scissors
and the paste-pot OF these liabilities
and impositions. 1.-THE press is q

ARREST OF AN ALLEGED HoRsE-THIER.-
Mention was made in the Dispatch yesfer-
day in the Petersburg correspondence OF a
stranger who took breakfast at the public
house Of BurweIl Todd, q very worthy and
well-to-do coIored man, on Washington
street, Petersburg. and. who subsequently;
after becoming better acquainted, borrowed
Todd's horse and buggy for a few minutes
to drive to the express office to procure
some packages which he said he wanted to
bring to TodPs ho1se;. After that time the
stranger end the horse and buggy were NOT
seen until yesterday. The man did not 60
| to the express office, but it Is believed
struck out in direct course for Richmond.
This last supposition proved true. Mr.
James H. Deafon, chief Of police of Peters
burg, telegraphed to Major Poe on Monday
afternoon to "1ook out for bay horse and
buggy; horse branded u. s.; white man,
right eye affected; gray clothes" Captain
Seal, OF the Second police district, soon
ascertained the. whereabouts OF the horse
and buggy, and oil night Monday
watched for the man near Johnson's stables.
Early Yesterday morning he had to leave
his post, which was subsequently occupied
by Captain White. Shortly after reaching
the stable or its vicinity, Captain White
met the man going away with the horse and
buggy. He was arrested and gave his name
MS E. W. Wright, cigar-maker, OF Mary
land. The authorities in Petersburg were
promptly informed, and the prisoner sent
over. -
