abounds here more than in any other part Of

walks should be laid down. The travelling
season has commenced and many strangers
are continually arriving. First impressions
are alwsys the strongest and it is to be hop
ed that after this notice that sidewalks will
be laid down without further delay. A state
of affairs like this always create disgust in

"REMINISCENCES |

Van Norman Family.
The CorTespondenes Of Mr. Henri
II. ChAss and Captain E
D. Piereo-

The following correspondence between Mr..
Henri N. Chase, now living in this city, and
Captain Pierce will serve to show of what
metal our "old timers" were made This
will be all the more interesting when it is
considered that it was the first correspon-
dence ever appearing in the STATEsNAs:
wALLa WaLLA. Nov. 1st, 1861.
CAPT PIERcE:-Dear Sir: Yours Of Oct.
2lst asking for information concerning the
children who are nov captives among band
Of the Snake Indians, came to hand and /
have to say IN answer that will cheerfully
give all the information which possess on
the subject The children in question were
taken from the party Of immigrants who were
massacred on Snake about so miles below the
Salmon falls, in the fall of 1850, and belong
TO the families Of
VAN NORMAN.
There was no certain information gained
As to their fate until reached Salt Lake
city, IN May last, at which time l called
upon Coz Il. Davies, superintendent Of In
dian affairs for Utah, who by special appoint.
ment authorized me TO use all means IN my
power to collect information concerning
them, and, if possible, recover them from
their captors. 1 employed Mr.. A. Hunting
ton, of Salt Lake city, who has been long
resident Of the Snake country, and speaks
the language of that tribe Huently. He pro-
ceeded at once to the Indian country, where
he learned beyond doubt that the children
we're held by the Goose Creek Indians, and
passed the preceding winter in the Thors-
and Spring valley. l also had talks" in the
presence Of Col. Davies, with the principal
men of the tribes of Southern Oregon and
Northern Utah, who all confirmed this state
ment. ! now made preparations for =

den, but the troops were all ordered east
l now took the field with three men which
was all l could procure owing to the danger
Gus nature of the trip. l soon found that
this party was too small, SO l proceeded
down Snake river towards this section of
country. saw a number of Snakes on my
route with whom l talked end made some
presents, and endeav0red to prevail upon
them to desist from their murderous practices
upon travellers, which they promised to do,
saying that this talk" was Few to them.
This is brief sketch Of my operation in the
Snake country. Now, sir, my opinion based
on twelve years experience of Indian char
acter is, that the best and only way to re-
cover the captive children is to enter the
field early in the spring with force of no.
less than 80 experienced men and to take a
quantity Of Indian goods, and with these
goods to ransome or purchase them from the
Indians. 1t would require, however, man
OF saglcity and intimate knowledge Of
