SIR: In your edition of the 9th inst. you
published card from Mr. j. o. Mott OF the counsel
in the Connors examination before Judge Kilbreh in
which he complained that lie was misrepresented by
your account Of that examination using the word
'bulldoze" which be saId used by He charac-
terized the use Of such word "bulldOZe" as im-
proper conduct" on my part. Perhaps 1t was. But II
was entirely unnecessary for him to complain about IT,
who read the account must have seen
that mere inadvertence on the part OF the re-
porter and besides no one who knows Mr.. Mott ana
ever believe that that his soft serenity could ever be s
fcently disturbed 80 make him profane word as
bulldoZe" But his sensityeness commands my
profound sympathy Yet thought his card breathed a
spirit OF unkndness toward In saying that was
guilty OF Improper conduct in using the word bull
doze" bnt IN saying that the counsel OF Dr. Miller
whereas Dr. Miller believe is his client Ii seems 70
me that this is a more misrepresentation than
saving that he used the word bulldOZe."

PrOperty-Generai Howard at
Walla Walla.

PORTLAND, July IL.
The following is the text Of a dispatch
received by Governor Chadwick from Gen.
eral Howard, dated at Camp Chadwick.
Bear Creek. July 8. We appeared to have
met the main body Of the Indians. 1t will
be necessary to treat these Columbia In
dians, who are aiding the enemy with
guides, boats and ammunition, just as
Kress and Wilkinson are doing. No large
place like Heppner, Pendleton or Walla
Walla is in danger from them. They kill
herdcrs, isolated farmers and small parties,
and seek for horses more than any other
property. The smallest stockade keeps
them off. / nave sent a column in pursuit
Of those who escaped from us yesterday
after the battle, and / am encamped here,
near water, to rest and refresh the animals
while our scouts examine the trails in diff
ferent directions.
The Geographic operator at Umatilla
sends the following: / have just learned
by telegraph from Walla Walla that Gen.
Howard will be there this evening and
take the train from that city for Wallula
with his command, and will then take
boats from that point and proceed to the
head OF navigation on Snake river. The
Indians have evaded the General, and are
now making for the mouth Of Grand
Ronde river, where they expect to cross
Snake river.
BAKER CRY, Ogn., July IL.
The town has been under great excite
ment for the past two days, caused by the
continued reports Of hostiles coming in on
North Powder river. Families and stock
for miles around have been gathering in
here and at Union since the 9th instant,
but from returning scouts we learn all re-
ports as yet are false. Col. Sanford's rom
mand camped at Orodell, Grand Ronde, in
readiness to intercept the hostiles should
they attempt to go north via Grand Ronde.
He has a company Of soldiers now scout
ing on the upper Grand Ronde river, and
Captain Egbert is now ON North Powder
river, and has scouts out in all directions.
He has a company on the head waters OF
Clover creek. and from the vicinity Of the
troops and scouts it is almost impossible
for the hostiles to cross north through this
section without being intercepted by some
of the troops. The scouts in from How
ards command say that the hostiles have
broken up into different bands, some tray
cling north, and some are on the back
track.
Captain Wilkinson, in command OF the
patrol boat Northwest, has just left here
for Long Island, about Is miles below here.
where some renegade Indians are suspected
Of crossing horses and plumber. He will
return Immediately after examining the
country about there, and go directly to
Walluh. Our troubles here are probably
over.
