THE INDIANS.

PORTLAND Oregon, June 1S-A despatch
received at the military headquarters states
that about 500 hostile indians started toward
Camp Harvey in this state and are receiving
accessions as they march. Howard is given in
structions to send Miles command now
around to Harvey with all possible haste.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 1S.-A Silver City
despatch says that Chief Winnemucua has
returned to Demands & Whipple's camp on
the Owyhee river. He says the hostiles are
killing hundreds of cattle and leaving carcass
ses to rot The hostiles have left Stein noun
tain and are moving towards Harvey valley,
thence to Matthews agency and Snake river,
and will probably keep on until they effect
junction with Columbia river
indians which adduced their forces will they
calculate enable them to sweep the country.
They are determined to retain the Piutes
prisoners until they can get sufficient num-
Der of arms from the white men they kill to
arm them. Egar is rebellious and the horses
and arms have been taken from him and his
Indians. Camp Harvey will probably be
captured by Indians tomorrow, and if so there
will be terrible slaughter of whites congregated
there for protection.
Nothing has been heard from Howard since
yesterday If he does not effect a junction
with Stewards forces the party accompanying
him from Camp Lyon could easily be captured
by savages. The general situation is quite
critical and the massacre that will be per
petuated bids fair to exceed in number those of
the Nez Perces war.

In second speech on the same subject Mr..
Webster said;
"On what ground is it then that Congress
possesses the power not only to create bank
pat oank OF circulation? Simply as L suppose
because Congress possesses constitutional
control over the currency of the country and
has power to provide safe medium of circu-

served the other day that. in my opinion it was
very difficult to maintain ON the face of the
Constitution itself, and independent of long
continued practice, the doctrine that the states
could authorize the circulation of bank paper at
al. Iney cannot coin money; can they coin
that winch becomes the actual and almost uni
versal substitute for money? Is not the riqht OF
ISSUING paper intended for circulation IN the
pace ana as the representative of metallic curren

be startling proposition in any other part
OF the world, that the prerog itve of coming
money, held by government was liable to be de-
feated, counteracted or impeded BY another
prerogstive, held in other hands, of authorizing
paper circulation.
~ iuisneI w pe observed tnat the states
cannot issue bills of credit, not that they can
not make them legal tender; bat that they
cannot Issue them at all. Is not this clear
indication of the intent of the Constitution to
restrain the states as well from establishing a
paper circulation as from interfering with the
metallic circulation? Banks have been created
oy states with no capital whatever; their notes
being put in circulation simply on the credit OF
the state or state law. What are the issues of
such banks but bls,of credit issued by the state
1 confess, Mr.. President, that thus the more
reflect on this subject, the more clearly does
creation of state banks for the purpose and acith
the poacer of circulating paper as not consistent
aoih grants and prohibitions Of the Constitution.
