The Oregon War.

A second edition of the Modoc
war is being worked off in Oregon,
the band which is seeking EXTERN
nation at this time being of the
Mes Perces tribe. The number of
savages in the vicinity and likely
to be, if not already involved, is
reported at about two thousand
fighting men. That they are able
and entirely willing to give seri-
GUS trouble is made unfortunately
too apparent by the fact that in
an engagement with two cOmpan-
les of soldiers, reinforced by
friendly Indians, and considera-
BILE party of armed citizens, the
redskins obtained the advantage,
surrounded the whites in a canon,
and, at the time of the departure
of a straggler who brought the
first news of the battle, were in a
fair way to reproduce the most
terrible features of the Custer
massacre. The soldiers appear to
have fallen into the fatal blunder
so common in like cases of under
rating the numbers and fighting
qualities of the Indians. Ofcourse
there is no military force in the
neighborhood adequate to the task
of,chastising the murderous bands,
who are butchering the settlers
and laying waste the whole region
around them. General Howard,
who is in command, is gathering
all the available troops from vari-
Gus posts in the department, and
will probably be in position for ef-
fective operations by the time the
savages have wiped out the set

m inch and half long, with black body
and head and little google eyes exactly
like two dots of red scaling wax. Its
only beauty is in its winds, which are
"a large as a small willow leaf, delicate,
gauzy and prismatic. l remember
hearing years ago that this insect at
ways appeared in time of war, OF which
it bore the sign. Curious on this point,
picked one up the other day to look
for the sign, and, sure enough, ON each
wing found w just as plain as a
,pikestaff. Whether the RussO-Turkish
struggle is enough to satisfy its predlc-
tions, or whether we have got to get up
a row in this country to save, its repu-
tation as a prophet, time will tell.
The locusts are Matching by the mil
lion out in Eastern New Jersey, where
their whirring noise is compared to
escaping steam. They live but a short
time and apparently do no damage to
crops or vegetation of any kind. A
good many blow over to this city
where they attract much attention.
And not content with reviving one
Egyptian plague, New Jersey is intro
dncing another in the shape of dead
fish. All on sudden last week the
shores of the Passaic and other streams
near this city began to he covered with
smaller varieties of fresh water fish,
which for few days seemed to die al
most by the million. The air is tainted
for miles around, and the inhabitants OF
Newark, Paterson and other towns
which depend upon the Passaic for wa
ter are in serious trouble. No one can
account for this unparalleled occur

Gen. Grant writes o letter to
George W. Childs. of Philadelphia,
dated June 9Th, in which he gives
some details of his voyage, and
the attention he received in Eng
land. He says: 81 appreciate
the fact, and am proud of it, that
the attentions I am receiving are
intended more for our country
than for me personally. I love to
sec our country honored and res
pected abroad, and / am proud to
believe that it is by most all ma.
tions, and by some even loved. II
has always been my desire to see
all jealousies between England and
the United States abated, and ev-
cry sore healed. They are more
powerful for the spread of com
MERGE and civilization than al
others combined, and can do more
to remove causes of wars by crea
ting mutual interests that would
be 80 much destroyed by war;"

in the South W estern Telegram Of

held for four years. He had been

18th day of February, 1872, but

The English Estimate Of Grant.

The London Times, speaking Of
Gen. Grant, says at is, as We
have observed, not q little remar.
kable that these tokens of national
esteem should have been bestowed
upon q politician who quits the po-
htical scene probably forever, and
who is discredited as the leader,
or at least the most conspicuous
chief, of q broken party. It would
be idle to deny that the faction
which traded so long upon Gen.
Grants eminent services was CON-
pletely routed at the elections OF
November last, and that President
Hayes, though nominally repre-
senting the same principles. is at
tached to a different order OF
ideas, and appeals to a different
level of popular sympathies. The
honors paid to Gen. Grant are,
therefore, all the more significant.
They prove that democracies do
not always forget great national
benefits. and that they appreciate
good intentions even when those
intentions too manifestly fail to
correspond with results. Gen.
Grant has no longer any political
influence in the United States, yet
he is treated with more courteous
homage than would be bestowed
upon the most powerful cabinet
minister, or even upon the Presi-
dent himself"
