FROM HOWARD.

On Monday a courier arrived from
Walla Walla, having left that place on
Sunday night at 10 o'clock. He
brought telegram from Gen. Howard
written at his camp Is miles south of
Corvallis in the Bitter Root valley,
August 9th. This dispatch is as follows:
''Stop Wheaton's column soon as you
can. Instructions sent him by courier. [
expect to join Gibbons tomorrow. He is
near Indians following them. Another
force is 10 meet them from the eastward :"
The courier who brought this dispatch
says that as he was saddling his horse
to come with the dispatch he was told
that the news had been telegraphed that
Gibbon hada fight with the hostilcs
and lost 100 men and was himself killed
But no confirmation of this was in the
official dispatch, though Gibbons posi-
ton at the time of Towards dispatch
was near the Indians and in hot pursuit.
An engagement could have taken place
and the news reached the telegraph
after Towards dispatch.

SALE OF NarETEHEAOY ITO EN-
EeEANS.

WASHINGTON. Aug. AFTER the ses.
sion of the cabinet to-day, President is
sued a gen eral order prohibiting the
sale OF arms or ammunition to Indians
and revosing all licenses to trade with
them IN such articles. Military COM
nlandants are charged with the duty ef
assisting in the execution Of the order.
This order no doubt was given upon
the receipt of the intelligence that Mon
tieth had granted permission to traders
in Lewiston to sell ammunition to Indi-
ans during Joseph 30 days license grant
ed by Gen. Howard to prepare for war.
While these traders are not to be held
blameless for the. murders which were
committed on Salmon river and Camas
Prairie, they no doubt supposed Mon.
teith's permit to sell ammunition would
take away part of the curse attached.to
the sale.

BT WHAT AUTHORITY.

A gentleman informs us that he saw
few days ago five Indians going towards
the mouth of Grand Ronde river. He
hailed them and one Of them showed
him a written pass from Agent Mon
teith, granting him permit to go off the
reservation and gather up stock of the
hostile Indians. The other four had no
pass. What authority has agent Monteith
or any other Indian Agent over the
Stock of the hostile Indians We sup
posed that in time of war the Gen. COM
handing had the control of the plumber
taken from the enemy. But if Mon
teith and his wards have that control
Gen Howard had better sell out his
rights, for the Agent and his pets will
surely get the advantage of him in the
speculation.

Dunwelrs mail aud express arrived
from Pierce City on the 18th. All was
quiet there, Mr.. Dunwell says that dur.

Maulie has lost nearly 200 head of cat.

OF Pierce City, which were killed and
driven off by the hostiles. Mr.. Dun.

WAR .REvEnsEs MANY THINGS
In peace Gen. Towards profession is to
turn sinners from the gates of hell. in
war he is trying to drive a whole army
of reds right through He'll Gate, or
annlhllate them somew here this side. If
he succeeds in running them into He'll

The MULE CoNTRACTs.-Tt strikes
us as though not everything was all 90
X about these government contracts
for mules. As usual thing when the
government requires subsistence or ami
mails, the Quarter masters or A. Q. NJ.
gives due notice, invites competition and
awards the contract to the lowest, res
ponslble bidder, but on the present oc-
casion, preparatory to an indefinite cam
pasn, we are simply appraised that Mr..
Russell or Mr. Oppenheimer wants so
many pack mules, not the government,
then they are forwarded to Lewiston
and turned over to good old Uncle San.
at nice round figure. This may be all
right but we fail to see it, although it is
not yet after 4 o'clock.

A SAMpLE.-At a meeting held by
the Indians on the camp meeting ground
at 'kamai, Gen Howard and Col Mason
present. Four Elders presides, and
some quite eloquent sermons were
preached. "Sweet Byand BY" was the
favorite hymn, old and young joining in
the chorus. They held three meetings
on Sunday. Chief Jim Lawyer asked
Buffalo horn to interpret the services to
his Bannocks which seemed to produce
good effect upon them. After all the
meetings we're over the Indians were
solicited to assist in passing the army and
its effect over Clearwater but the red
men very Indignantly replied that they
did not work on the Sabbath Dav!

Col. Mason is not her, to-day or |
would send you a copy of McConville' s
letter, which is very much more strong
ly worded in condemnation of THE TEL
LER's course than I choose to write.
1 Right here, let me guard you against
the sensational reports of that little pa
per; it says itself it will publish any
thing if it cannot get official news-a
statement which it has most faithfully
verified since the beginning of the cam
paign.--Kamid Cor. Of Standard.
We venture that McConville's let
ter to Mason never contained line or
sentence against THE TELLERs course.
! It merely stated that Capt. Hunter had
pisstatcd the facts to the editor of THE
TELLER and that the editor would cor
rect as any honest paper would do when
it had been misinformed. How shrewd
this fellow Is to caution the Standard
and it's readers against THE TELLER.
just as though the reading public were
all fools and could not for themselves
decide what to believe. 1T says itself
it will publish anything if it cannot
get official news The person who To-
dited the above quotation for the Stan.
dard as an assertion Of THE Teller be
he an oficial,a scrub or both tells
falsehood. The TELLER said IF I'VE
do not gel the official we shall publish
that coming through other sources
the most reliable obtained" "a state
ment which it has most faithfully veri- |
fed since the beginning of the cam
paign." We notice that The TELLEg's
news is read even by officers in the reg.
ular service with double the interest
that is inspired by the official reports,
and because THE TELLER contains more
truth with less display of military -four
ish and stereotype pomp. Some of the
shallow brains who sport the uniform of
officers, fret and sputter against TIL
TELLER because it don't fl its columns
with adulations OF men who possess no
merit above that OF wearing uniform
and drawing army pay and rations, and
looking down upon civilians with sneers.
The TELLER challenges comparison with
any OF its contemporaries respecting the
correctness Of its statements, and that
is just where the corns Of some of these
small fry are trod upon. But there are
men as officers ia the army among us
who have more than thimblo full of
brains, and who know the rights of
journalist, who themselves arc brave and
prompt in the field, civil and courteous
to all in camp and among citizens.
These are not the men who denounce
The TELLER because it defends the cit
liens Of the country against the AFRO
gance of Indian agents, inspectors and
military machines who simply echo {
their arrogance.
