other Indians acting as scouts. They
came up with the Indians near Weiser
Cama's ground, amid very much under

Reuben. Another was shot through the

After the battle of Zerdekar, June

Delibaba, the Russian left wing took
possession of Delibaba Pass and forth
fled it. The Russian right wing bav-
ing retired somewhat, Mukhtar Pasha
telegraphed Rachid Pasha to join him
with nine of the twelve battalions
forming the Turkish left wing. Mukh-
TAR quilted his headquarters at Zewin
on the night of June IL for Delibaba,
to take command of the Turkish right
wing In person.. The following day he
received achievements, which raised
the strength of the right wing to 10
battalions, four cavalry regiments and
three batteries. The Russians in Deli
bahia Pass numbered 30, 1000, with five
batteries. Several skirmishes were
fought June Goth, and on the Dist
Mukhtar Pasha attacked the Pass.
The fighting lasted from 6 o'clock in
the morning until s o'clock in the
evening. The Russians were at first
driven from their positions, but they
afterward recaptured them and at
tackled the Turkish positions on the
heights with charges of infantry and
cavalry. The Turkish front gave way
for q short time, but afterwards rallied
and charged the Russians, and drove
them back. The Turks then opened a
terrible artillery fire and forced the
Russians to fall back, but with the
heavy loss of 400 killed and about the
same number wounded. 1t is reck.
oned that the Russian loss was at least
double. On the 22d Mukhtar again
fought a severe battle. The Russian
cavalry were placed in entertainments
to act as infantry, but ultimately the
Turks drove them u and pursued
them, the Russians ~retreating in disor-

GENERAL O. q. HOWARD.

We are in receipt of our Idaho ex-
changes published Immediately after
the outbreak of the Indians in the
northern portion Of that Territory.
The uprising is attributed to two
c~auses-the Quaker policy of the Gov
eminent and the inefficiency of Gen.
eral, Howard commanding the Depart
ment OF the Columbia. The AudldRche
is especially severe on the General.
Its structures will prove interesting to
the general reader at a time when pub
lie attention is so largely occupied re-
garding all matters pertaining to the
wal and its causes. The A~Ualanche
says:
1t has been painfully apparent for
some time that General Oliver o.
Howard is totally unfit to discharge
the duties of the position which he
holds. He lacks aggressiveness and
is devoid of all other qualifications
requisite in a competent military
man. He never comprehended the
necessities of the occasion in all that
he has done pertaining to the Indian
question. His peace policy Is an un-
initigated humbug and fraud. 1t never
has proved effective dealing with the red
devils and it would be jus. as sensible
TO talk of parleying with the Devil
himself as TO try the merits of Quaker
ism on these fiends. The results of
this policy, combined with the .naction
that has marked the career of General
Howard, are now apparent in the
wholesale slaughter of white settlers
by the Nez Perez Indians. This
butchery has been foreshadowed for
some time, and the Department Com
mander, with the dangers staring him
in the face, has displayed gross ne
eject and incompetency in not making
preparations to ward off the blow.
Time and again has he been warned of
the lurking motives of these blood
thirsty savages, but realized no dan
ger from the situation until the danger
itself is actually upon us and
hundreds of valuable lives are per-
haps to be slaughtered as the result
of his culpable ~ineficiency and lack
of promptness. He disregarded an
application sent from the southern
section of the Territory many months
ago, and signed by several hundred
citizens, asking that the number Of
troops be increased at Fort Boise, and
now, when the murderous red devils
are on the war path and threatening a
carnage among the settlers in thinly
populated districts, he sends an order
to the commanding officer at Fort
Boise, to 60 out and meet the hostile
Indians, knowing at the same time
that there is scarcely a dozen soldiers
all told at that place. The truth is
that this man is a whining, %puritanical
sycophant, with not the first redeem-
ing trait in his military character, and,
with a record, as an officer, that stamps
him as totally unfit for any position
requiring brains, energy and capacity.
He ought to be removed forthwith and
his place supplied by an army officer
who knows something about the dan
gers of frontier life and how to meet
the incursions Of the murderous saw
ages.

THE opposing forces along the Dan
ube seem now to mean business. We
are inflicted with fewer rumors now a
days, and some pretty hard knocks
have already been exchanged. Just
where the advantage lies, thus far, can
hardly be determined, and nothing
rising to the importance of a decisive
engagement has yet t%ranspired. A
great battle, however, is predicted at
an early day.

The Sacramento Bee is responsible
for the following: "A wise Indian
policy would seem to dictate that in
addition to killing off all hostile Indi-
ans, the Indian Agents should be
taken out and shot; and perhaps it
would be better, seeing hat they are
the real cause of the mischief, to first
shoot the Agents and then hunt the
Indians"
