Yesterday, just after the passage Of
the train from Walla Walla to this place, a
band of sixty Indians crossed the railroad
dUOub slA miCo itVm LIE pldCCs OIL well
armed. They professed great friendship for
the whites, and claimed to be Moses Indians,
sent to aid in fighting the hostiles. But few
people here believe their story, and think
them some of Moses restless spirits going
to join the hostiles. To night some five or
six families arrived from Lower Yakima,
having been notified by friendly Indians to
leave the country, as the hostiles were ex-
pected to cross the Columbia and raid the
whole region"

A Portland (Oregon) dispatch says news
from Dallas states that James Clark and a
party of fourteen men went out recently on
a scouting expedition up the South Fork of
the John Day River, and when about twelve
miles from its mouth, at Murderer's Creek,
they came upon Indians, supposed TO be
about fourteen hundred strong, who en-.
deavored to cut off the line of retreat of
Clark's party, and nearly succeeded in the
attempt. The whites defended themselves,
and one man was killed and two others
seriously wounded before the command
made its escape. Clark and two of his men
were cut off by the death of their horses.
A Portland dispatch says: The following
dispatch has been received from Governor
Chadwick:
UMArILLA, July SO: 80 a. m.
Major Kress, at two o'clock this morning,
went down the river on the steamer
Spokane to Coyote Station, fifteen miles be-
low this place. Two miles this side of the
station he found hostile Indians crossing
with a larse number of horses. He ran
upon them. Some of the horses returned
to the Oregon side. Others crossed the
river. The Major made an attack on the
Indian camp and destroyed it and every.
thing about it, including all canoes. A
number of saddle blankets and buffalo robes
were found at the camp. Squads of hostiles
have been in sight all morni ng with stock.
Scouts are out. General Howard was
at Pilot Rock ye rday, undoubtedly
moving this way. One small band
of Indians, with about eighty head OF
horses, passed down the opposite side and
in sight Of this place this morning. to Join
the hostiles that crossed below. a friendly
Indian stated that the hostiles were divided
into three parties. Two would go below
the landing and one above, but he would
not tell where they would cross. They are
scattering to gather in renegade Indians fol-
fighting a protracted campaign. Major
Kress is now patrolling the river. l shall

ONE of the finest old halls left in
England is Blickling, Norfolk, the
ancient home of the Hobarts, which
passed, by the marriage of their heiress,
to Lord Lothian. Ann Boleyn was
born here. Her statue stands on one
side Of the grand staircase and Eliza
beth's on the other. The library is very
famous, but a ludicrous circumstance
about it is that many of the old books
are still uncut. This circumstance gives
them, it seems, an extraordinary value
in the eyes of bibliomaniacs, and a visi-

0uicksand at New orleans.

Much has been said in the daily press
against the habit on the part of the
drivers dumping on the levee at New
Orleans the rice chaff from the mills in
the batture. We have been called upon
several times to chronicle the narrow es-
cape from death of children in these
treacherous places, and yet no notice
has been taken to warn people OF their
dangers. On Friday evening two
children of a well known and prominent
citizen we're told to go out and take a
walk on the levee to enjoy the river
breeze. The nurse, holding the children
by the hand, started, and reaching the
levee saw across the batture what ap-
peared to be a level of soft and yielding
straw. The lice chaff floats and is in
thickness about four feet. To the eye
it looks like solid ground, covered with
the hulls, but beneath this deceptive
covering there is a considerable depth
of water, and one step on this %quicksand
and the venturesome partyisimmediately
up to his neckin the chat, and neither by
swimming nor the most violent exertion
can he extricate himself. The nurse
started to cross this deceptive fat, when
she, with the two children, Immediately
sank. Fortunately she touched bottom
just as the chaf came up to her neck,
and, by a desperate exertion, she kept
the heads of the little ones above until
aid came. Her cries for help were heard
after awhile and all were rescued. Had
the water been a triAe deeper, nurse and
children would never have been heard
of, and all the detective skill would not
ferret out what had become of them.
