San Francisco, July IL


A dispatch received at army head
quarters from Gen. Howard, dated at
the head of Birch Creek, July 8, says he
found the Indians in force on the height
near Butler Creek. The Indians were
strongly posted on a rocky crest. The
enemy was driven from this position to
another height in the rear and crowned
with natural defenses of lava rocks.
In twenty minutes this position was
stormed from different sides, and a
rapid pursuit commenced of the flying
Indians, who abandoned horses, pro-
visions, ammunition and camp materi-
al The hostiles made for the thick
timber crowning the Blue Ridge, and
made another stand, but were again
dislodged and pushed four or five miles
further into the mountains. The rough
country and the great exhaustion of
the men and horses caused a cessation
of the pursuit for to-day.
In this engagement five enlisted men
were wounded and about twenty horses
killed. 1t is impossible to state the loss
of the enemy. Their women and chill
dren and best horses were removed be-
fore the fight began, apparently in the
direction of Grand Ronde, and the hos
tiles fled in that direction.

A Silver City dispatch says: "A dis

Valley, speaking of the recent depreda-
tions there by savages, says the latter
are monarchs of all they survey. The
area of territory now invested by them
embraces some 1000 square miles, COM
bining all natural facilities for pro-
longed war. There are hardly 800 peo-
pie in Canyon City, and less than 100
of the male adult population armed.
In all of the engagements that have oc-
Cured the savages outnumbered the
volunteers four to one. Even when
Howard gets up, his force will be wholly
inadequate to cope successfully with
the savages.
