The Indiana would bring salmon to trade Tor any little thing we could apart, such as needle, pins, the rags on our backs, till we were reduced to a aCute of nokodness. Mr. Clime . ate too hearty a meal one tiny on aalmon, which threw him into the hiccough; lie died one night, we knew not when, and we buried him next day. After we had sold every tiling, the IndiitiiH refused to bring any more salmon unless we would give them our gun, which we did not wish to do, but they were determined to have them; so I buried my revolver nud oininunition. The Indium took the guns, and gave us lint salmon they plciisnri, and promised more, which they never brought. One of the Trimble boys volunteered to go homo with the ludinns, and do what he could to in duce them to bring prorisioin to us. They used him very kindly fed him, and gnve a pluvo to sleep. Ho, iu company with botne of tlio Indians, would come, over to the camp every few duys, and bring salmon One day, somo ouo happened to mention 'soldier' in the conversation. The Indians at once seemed to understand tha word; they strnightcned up, and murmured ' Sojn,1 'sojn,' 'sojn,' the word passing from one to t lie otlirr, and a curious, dcvili.ih look seemed to pervudu their countenances. They went oh", the boy following them, but lie never returned. Wo waited, but no word from him; not uu Indian after that made Lis appearance.

Arrival of the Pony Express l.ilraarelaarjr Nrr OlflQOXT CITY I SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1800 T OBUm. Since the election of Col. Baker to the U. S. Semite, the lying organs of fnnotl clsm have been trying to create the inipres sion that Bakor enlisted the influence of certain meu In his behulf, by promising to use his Influence with tlie expected In coming Lincoln administration for the pro curement for them of some of the important appointments nt the President's disposul in this State. Now, this kind of a whine nothing new it lias been heard in every State in tin; Union, every time U. S. Sena tors Imve been elected. We all recollect how the Democratic papers howled at the time Simeon Cameron beut John V. For ncy for the U. S. Senate in Pennsylvania how they charged that Waeonsellcr, Lubo, Menear, mid other Democrats who voted for Cameron bud been " bought." Whenever a Senator succeeds in defeating rival candidates, it seems to be a very easy way for disappointed, chagrined, and mad' deued rivals to let themselves down easily by crying out that the successful candidate "bought em bought 'em doi'uiit ': Especially is this coarse to be looked for iu uelcatecl demagogues and low flung puppioi like the organs of sectionalism in this Slato who cannot possibly account for the fact that members of the Legislature overlooked their own mighty importance except by the supposition thut their ryes wero dazzled by gold in the palm of the successful candidate, or that they wero swayed by the promiso of office These demagogues nru so much In tlio habit of doing everything for " pay" of being " bought" with " ten plants," " butter kegs a deer ulong, and that I might find a piece and other considerations, that it is not in to tuko homo. But I found iiothimr ex- their hearts to conceivo tlmt. men kImhiM ever net from patriotism or be influenivd ecpt a lock of liuinun hair, which I took homo, uud which was recognized as the boy's, (dipt. Dent followed up this sign, nnd round u head, an iirni, and somo tilings showing tho boy hud been killed. ) On my way liuine thut day, I found the carcass of a horse that tho wolves had deserted: picked up a shank and touk it to camp, and you may guess thero was but little meat on it wheu the kiotns left it. Wo used that whole carcass; we burnt the bones nnd uto them, and the skins we rousted. When we could find a piece of a carcass, we made use or it ; wc wero getting so weak tjiat wo could scarcely walk ubout. Wo nto weeds, grass, nud anything nt nil we could Jind. Starvation wus staring us iu tho face. Filially one of the children died; we cut it up nnd ale mid so on till wo had eaten three of them. Tlio mother help ent her own children. Mrs. Chase lust all her children but one. Somo Indians came nlong ouo day and dug up Mr. Chase uouy tor tlio n-w rugs it lind on. We mudo up our minds to try und cut him so wo cut him iu tuiiull pieces, a duy's ra lion iu n piece but before wo began roasting, dipt. Dent and party cnmoulon, just in timo to save us from that awful meul! Tho body hud been buried over ten days. We saved every one of our chil dren, nud Mrs. Chaso might huve saved Imrs, if sho Imd not been so selfish; she liven too well herself und starved her child. She would scold my wife bucnuso we gave our children so much; she argued that wc were nil bound to die right there, and that it wns better that tho children should die lirst, than Tor us to dio nud leave our chil dren to tho mercy of tho wolves but my wire suid sho believed that Providence would yet deliver us, nil thut we should nil try to keep nlivo us long ns possible.

Now this cry of " bribery'' that has been raised iu Oregon by the Clarri.ioniuns, Irce lovers, and Yanecyitcs, is so contemptible nnd devoid of cvidenco that wc have nevtr thought it worth while to notice it. We shouldn't hnvo changed our purpose now, hut for the fact that publications have been made iu soma of tho disunion organs to the effect that protended Republican had au thorized tho statement thut Col. Baker had farmed out the offices among ids friends, nnd that we with others had been "prom ised" something. Now as to what under standing tuny exist between Col. Baker and other Republicans, we ofcour.se know noth ing nono but the parties interested and their (lod can know. But wc have a be- lief in tho matter, and after carefully watching nil the wires tinit huvo been pulled in Oregon for the lust eight years, our 6r- iV is so strong that wo would bo willing to risk our life on it that w hut is true of tho relations existing between ns and our esteemed Senator, is equally true of the relations existing betwvru Col.

Now, so far as ire are concerned, we propose to set this flouting cuhimny nt rest forever by a statement which we think ull who know us will believe n statement which wo ore willing to make under oath if necessary to aii t wry our Democratic friends. We hope thut they will bear in mind that tho same Democratic editor who has given circulation to this miserable slander has already told hh readers that "JYo man ntquainted with the editor of the Arena would mill.!, a - ttUment in question."
