VANCOUVER INDEPENDENT.
THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1873.

1t is now quite certain that there is
the biggest Indian war on hand in
Idaho that the Government has had to
contend with in many years. The hos
tile tribes are rapidly concentrating,
forcing unwilling tribes into the gen
eral movement, and their aggregate
fighting force is not far from 1000
warriors. Opposed to them are $50
U. s. regulars and the cattle, horses,
and homes of the unarmed white set
tiers. However they may come off in
contest with the former, they are
pretty sure to get away with the lat
ter. Already thousands of cattle lie
rotting in the valleys, killed by the
noble red man, for the pleasure of kill
ing, not to eat. Whole settlements
have been abandoned. and over 20
men have been murdered by them on
the stage routes and cattle ranches.
The hostiles have a secure field from
attack in the mountains, from which
they can issue forth on different sides
to devastate the unprotected settle
ments. These things might have been
prevented if parsimonious and po-
litical capital making Congress had
done their duty towards the Army
Six companies of the DIST Infantry
were sent up from this post, and they
mustered 1913 men, all told, when they
should have mustered 600, and would
if the politicians had done less investi-
eating and more real WORK which is
their duty. Send that Potter Com
mittee to Stems Mountain and they
will find chance for investigation there
that will double discount either the
Louisiana or Oregon games. Let them
investigate the quarrels among the re-
ligious Indian Agents, and the causes
for the starvation among the Bannocks
occurring under the very noses of their
pious agents, and they may do the
country some service for the future.

THE IDAHO INDIAN WAR.

SAN FRANCIsCo June 1S.-No later news
concerning the Indian troubles has been re-
ccived at military headquarters this morning.
The impression at headquarters is not very
sanguine as to an early and successful termi-
nation of the war; Military men familiar with
the situation say that the position taken by
the Indians in the Stein or Juniper noun
tains is one from which it will be difficult to
dislodge and impossible to capture them.
The mountains are bold and PERCEPTIONS and
full of ravncs, easily defending and commu-
nicating in such Il manner rs to facilitate es-
cape from the mountains. The Indians can
sweep the whole country below them and no
movement of troops can be made except un-
der their eyes. 1t is considered that il they
have ANYTHING like the number of warriors
mentioned by Sarah Winnemucca and others
viz: G00-that the troops will have dan
gerous and difficult job ON hand, and that dis
aster to the attacking force is by no means
improbable. Gen Howard has under his
command all told, Sj2 men, which is consd-
cred hardly adequate for making quick and
decisive work of the campaign.
General Crook still remains at Fort Hall,
and will not move westward to take an active
part in the hostiitics. He has but POO men
at Fort Hall, all of whom are required to hold
! the Indians on that reservation in check, and
he considers he will indirectly assist How
ard, more by keeping the Indians under his
control well in hand, than by marching to the
front
SILVER CITY, June 1S-Chief Wnncmucca
has returned to Bernard and Whipple's camp
on Owyhec river. He says the hostics are
killing hundreds of cattle and leaving the car
caSScs TO rot.
The hostles have left Stein mountain and
are moving towards Harvey valley, thence to
Maheur agency and Snake River, and will
probably keep on until they effect junction
with Columbia River Indians, which addition
to their forces will, they calculate, enable
them to sweep the country. They are deter
mined to retain the Pluto prisoners until they
can geta sufficient number of arms from white
men they kill TO arm them Egan is rebel
lious and his horses and arms have been taken
from him and his Indians Camp Harvey
will probably be captured by the Indians to-
morrow, and If SO there will be Il terrible
slaughter of whites congrcgated there for
protection. Nothing heard from Howard
since Yesterday. If he does not effect june
ton with Stewards forces, the party accom-
panyng him from Camp Lyon could easily be
captured by the sayageS. The general sltua-
ton is critical, and the massacrcs that will be
perpetrated bid fair to exceed in number
those of the Ne2 PcrceS war.

LETTER FROM COWLITZ.
EDITOR INDEPENDENT:

EDITOR INDEPENDENT:
We would like to know what has
become of the Republican organiza,
ton in Cowlitz county? Who are
the members of the central commit
tee, and where are the records of the
Republican county convention held
some two years ago? 1t is in order
for some of the members of the afore-
said convention to rise and explain.
Last winter when it became neces-
sary to call county convention to
select delegates to attend the Repub-
lican convention for the Second Judi
cial District at kalama, the question
arose as To who was chairman of the
county committee. and as the records
Of the last convention could not be
found, the matter was left in uncer-
tainty. We PROFOUND these ques-
tons because as an old time Repub-
lican we believe in cherishing the
principles and preserving the organi-
cation of the grand old party that
saved the nation.
The recent action Of the Demo
cratic majority in Congress shows the
dangerous revolutionary tendencies
of that party. Their abject slavery
to the caucus system has been shown
in its strongest light. The recent
election in Oregon only illustrates
what has been shown many times be-
fore; that however much Democrats
may encourage Greenback tickets,
Workingmen's tickets, Peoples tick
cts, etc, they generally 60 back to
their first love on election dav, and
vote the straight Democratic ticket
if there is any chance of its success.
1t is noticeable fact, too, that Dem
ocrats are magnanimous, and in favor
of mixed tickets only when they are
in the minority.
Drawing wisdom from the lessons
of the past, it behooves Republicans
to keep up their organization in every
precinct and county Of this Territory.
