San Francisco, Dec. ia Walla
Waila dispatch says: Three wood
choppers arrived here last uight and re-
port having met the sheriff Of Yakima
county with company Of 35 whites
and 10 friendly indians last Saturday
night near Priest Rapids, on the Colum-
bia river, who had been to chief Noses
camp for the murderers of the Perkins
family. Although Moses had promised
to aid the sheriff in capturing these
murderers, instead, he met the sheriff
and his party with his whole band Of
well armed warriors. in war paint, and
with the most hostile demonstrations.
The sheriff retreated from the strong
hold Of Moses, aud was apparently try.
ing to evade pursuit when seen. He
told these men to get to some settle
ment as soon as possible and send him
aid. One of the men claims to have
seen the renegade chieftain Smohalla at
Priest Rapids. Friendly Indians lave
been warning wood choppers in the
vicinity OF Priests Rapids to leave for
some time.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE follow

Gen. Sherman, Washington.
The following has jast been received
frOw Gen. Howard: The following from
Yohama appear reliable:
Three Indians were dispatched to
Moses from Simcoe, after the Indian
council Of December lst, ordering him
and his horses of the Yokoma reserva-
tion. A company Is being raised to at
tack Moses unless lie removes thither
forthwith. Tie company Is command.
ed by Captain Simons, acting inde-
pendrntly.
Ask the early and special attention
Of the secretary of war and secretary OF
the interior to Gen. Towards telegram
in connection with the Recommendation
heretofore made by Gen. Howard with
respect to Moses and the reservation
asked for OIL his account.
1t would seem as IL tiis case admits
of no delay, and that Towards fears
are likely to be justified. Besides all
this, now comes another cause of dis
turbance, the unauthorized action of II
hand of citizens who will he apt to
plunge into hostilities forthwith.
Signed, Mellow. LII.
The subject was referred to the Sec
retary Of the interior, who will take
prompt action in tile matter.

that the administration, now in power,

was amused at Mr.. Conger, who had
scarcely respectable railroad town IN
his county, talking about postal cars, il
one Of them were to run into that
cauntry it would scare the people. Let
him be content with twice week stage
service as his (Durham's district was. I"
Mr.. Congrr said he had heard that
Mr.. Durliam's district had not single
manufactory, not even Of Shoe pegs, ex-
cept 1t be for alcoholic liquors; that
there Is one newspaper published IN his
district and that there We're three pub
lie schools very remote from his resi-
dence. He had heard that Mr.. Dur
ham once remarked when passing
through Michigan aud seeing school
houses tIiere that "T'was no wonder
the United States treasury was d-pl.t.
ed when every village has grand gov
ernment building" He grieved that
the gentleman had not had school
house convenient in his boyhood days
and studied geography. He did not
know whether the mammoth cave was
in the gentleman's district, but il not
he would say that his district was above
ground.
After further amusing passages be-
tween these gentlemen the committee
defeated Mr.. Phillips motion and re-
jected the other amendments, after
which the committee arose.
The house passed the bill and then
adjourned.

chief of the Pacific station reports to
the commissioners of the admiralty
that the ninety descendants of the mu-
tineers of the ship Bounty, living on
Pitcairn's Island, as a colony under
Governor James Robsell Mckay, form
a model community, singularly free
from crime, disease, or disorder of any
kind. They have no trade with the
outside world; no money; the island is
fertile, supplying all their wants. They
are religious, moral, peaceable and con
tented; and are only disturbed by ar
ominous circumstance. namely, ar
American who recently came there t.
live among them.
