command upon the hostiles, the latter is re-
ported to have had 1900 warriors. The Indians
were not aware of the presence of soldiers.
Their stock was unguarded. Bernard address
ed his troops, informing them that they
were close by the enemy, and could whip them.
He charged them not to retreat; if they did
they would be shot, and they might as well die
by shots fired by the savagea as our men. The
soldiers went silently forward and attacked a
savage force three times greater. When with
in 500 yards of the enemy. the order was given
to charge. McGregor's company was
near by. and they charged also. The savages
lied IN dismay. Large numbers of them were
killed. An encounter took place between Bear
mond, of McGregor's company. The sergeant

THE OREGON sAvAdEs.
SAN Francisco. June 27.-A Portland dis
patch says it is the belief of old residents in
Eastern Oregon that all the Indians in that
section are disaffected, and that they will be
ready on slight pIovocaIion to take up arms
against the whites. Even the Warm Spring
Indians, who have heretofore been strong
friends of the government. and who have on
several occasions rendered efficient service
against the murderous tribes of their own race,
refuse to join their forces against the Ban
nocks, and it is thought that large party of
them will join the hostiles. 1t begins to look
as if the Indians intend to do their worst this
summer.
ASSAULTS IN TEXAS.
New ORLEANS, June 27.-A special from San
Antonio, says the mail coach from Concha to
fort Davis, was attacked by Indians last night
near Pecos river, and one passenger wounded
seriously, tho stage escaping. This is the first
time the large stages has been attacked in this
vicinity, but it la not un expected, as the In
dams entirely ignore the presence of the mill
tary, whom they neither fear nor respect, and
with good cause; for in the past two or three
MONTHS men have been repeatedly shot in this
vicinity, but nothing has been done to chastise
the Indians.
