EGRAN1S ABOUT ARMS.

On the nth Of June last the Auditor of
Nee Perce Co. sent n telegram to Gov. Bray
maa for arms. The Governor replied ms
follows on the 22d Of June:
yours of June 18th asking for an APP
portionment of arms, and ammunition is at
hand. In reply have to state, that I'M
advised by the War Department that Gen.
Howard will DO furnished with all neces.
sary men and arms. | have butts small
quantity of arms on hand, not enough to
spare for such great distance. have.a
small force we'll armed, ready TO start To-
morrow morning for Indian Valley with or
ders 20 penetrate into the Indian country,
ana TO cooperate with the forces from your
eide OF the mountains If necessary. Ipre-
sumo you will be we'll supplied with men
and arms before anything | should send
could reach you"
NJ. BRAYMAN.
Gov.
About the same time the people of Port
land raised money to furnish our people
with arms and ammunition to the amount
of about $2,4oe- n. D. Sanborn ESQ,
tried to get them in Portland but could
not. He went to Salem and procured a
Loan OF so muzzle loading guns, aud some
ammunition and FASTENED up to Lewiston
with these and learned the situation that
the whole upper country in this section was
without artns' and hostile foe numbering

CITIZENS WITHOUT ARMS.

The outbreak was first made il. the vi
cinity of 200 able bodied citizens, who had
not to exceed twenty guns suitable for use
against Indians. Had the citizens been
we'll armed Joseph's band would have been
attacked and whipped before Perry arrived
upon Camas Prairie or what is more prob
able the Indians would not have COM
menced their murders had they not known
the defenceless condition of the settlers to
promptly resist and punish the first out
oreak. The correspondence we publish
shows some Of the efforts which have been
made to get arms, and the utter failure of
all these efforts. 1t would seem that the
Secretary of War authorized the issuance
OF 1000 extra guns to Oregon, 500 to
Washington and 500 to Idaho. But while
Washington gets distribution of guns,
where there is nor has been no outbreak.
North Idaho where has been the scene of
all tho murders has no distribution and
can get none, either from our Governor or
from Gen. Howard, save a few to arm VOL
unteers who went to the front and few
issued temporarily one night upon scare
in the town produced by dispatch sent
oy the Agency and military authorities at
LapwAi, suggesting night attack upon
Lewiston. These as we are made TO under. |
stand were issued without authority from |
either Gen. Howard or the Chief of Ord
nance and were soon called in again. Ap-
peal after appeal has come in from every
quarter OF this county, Shoshone and Idaho
Tor arms to protect the settlers in the yicin-
'ty Of their homes, but II deaf ear has been
turned to all these appeals, save in few
cases where mail carriers required them 10
protect the mails and expresses. Album
dant security has in every instance been
offered to indemnify the Government for all
losses it might sustain from the issue of
these guns to settlers. But so far as we
can see the deliberate purpose of those hay-
ing the authority in the matter has been to
give the settlers no protection save through
me slow movements OF the troops nearly
Ill Of whom were hundreds aud in some
instances thousands of miles away from
he scene OF hostilities. If the fault is in
he law governing the distribution of arms "
father than in the Executives of the Terri
'ories and the chiefs in the army, then we
'"y most emphatically both the law and '
he regulations under it are sadly aud
aurderousiy defective in Offering protec- ,
ion to settlers against sudden Indian out, a
freaks, and an immediate revision is nee z
ssary for safety to the frontier settlers.

INDIAN SUPPLIES. Peter McGuire CANT
in on Wednesday and informed US tina, he
with several Others had just returned from
Joseph Greek, that they found large caches
of Indian supplies containing tons of cous
and other stuff, that they loaded several
canoes with it and brought them down the
river, that they propose 10 go back and
ourn the balance If possible, that ihey
found hides OF settlers cattle with brands
upon them. They found also many vaiua-
BILE buffalo robes and some sixty head OF
horses, some CT which had evidently been
used in the different fights. Some OF them
they killed and some they drove away, all
going TO show that when the indians left
there they intended 10 return They saw
no Indians save one old squaw. The des-
truction Of these caches of supplies i i'm
portant just at this time.

OTHER MOsTILEs PURSUED.
LIST OE KILLED AND
WOUNDED.

| Since our extra of yesterday we learn
and 90 women aad children came and gave
themselves up as prisoners and are under
guard of Capt. Pollock men. Joseph
sent messages for terms of surrender.
Gen. Howard sent back his terms which in
substance were that the prisoners should
be tried by a court-martial of several of his
officers. Joseph did not accept the terms.
Some of the prisoners say that the other
hos!ies would not allow Joseph to surten-
der Joseph had moved his camp and all
his stock back from the Clearwater tow
ards the Lo-Lo. The prisoners say he is go
ing to the Buffalo country. The seventeen
who surrendered had but one or two guns
and no ammunition. Dunwells ferry
house is burned and his ferry boat cut a.
drift from the wire. Monday all the men
that Gen. Howard could mount were sent
in pursuit of the fleeing hostiles. They
are supposed to have abou. % hours the
start of the pursuing troops. The prison.
ers say that Joscpn's men are getting snort
of ammunition. None can now say wheth-
er or not the hostiles have gone on the Lo
Lo trail for the Bitter Root. They may
have gone to Pierce City, or 20 the fork of
Clearwater or 30 the crossing Of north fork
a few miles above the forks, and be
making for tae head of Potlatch and the
Palouse, or .hey may give the troops an
other battle on the Lo-Lo creek, or at the
head of Weipe camas grounds. The Mt.
Idaho volunteers, rs in number came down
on Monday night escortiug Mrs. Randall
and children to this place.
