Early on the morning of the 10th of September, 1853, we mounted, our horse-: aod rode out in the direction of the Indian encampment. Our party consisre 1 of the following nam-d per sons: Gen. Joseph Lane, .Joel Palmer, Suporint mdent of Indian Affairs; Sam uel P Colver, fndiiti Agent; Capfc. A. J - Smith, 1st Dragoon; C.ij.t. L V. Arljutullt. ColJohn K Riw, (japt- .1. VY Nesmith," Lieut. A. V. u:l Iutz, Ll, l, Motcait, j- tu. uison T. ri Tierney. By reference to the II- s Stata(es ;it Lar v 10j p 1020f the most of the above named will be found appended t the treaty that Uay exo- cuted. After riding a coapb; of miles acres the level vallev we came t the foot ,, the monntaiu where it was too teep for horses to acend. We dis- mounted and hitched our hordes and serambled un for half a mile over hure . - 4 rocks and thr.mgh bru-h, and then found ourselves in the Indians' strong held, just under the perpendicular clitf ; ii i ci: .urn tuu hi hhm in.-. .jv !., ., in all their gMgeom war paint -md feathers. Capt. rfn:ith had drawn out his company nf Dragoons aud left them m line on the plain below. It was a bright beanti.'ul morning an 1 ill" R igue river valley lay like a piu irama at our feet; the exact line of dr.igoos. sitt:ng st;fue like up n theiv bus's, with their white b.dt and biriiidied scabbards and carbines, l-io'e 1 dkj ihey wi re iMigr.iven on a j i jture, while, a few paces in our re::r the hu.je p ;rpe 1 dieular w.dl of Table R -ck t 'Wered, ;kfiOwnin;lv, many hundred feet above us. Tne budir-T.i of the treaty com mnru i at once. L nig speeciies were made by General Lane and Superin tendent Pajni.'r; they had to he trans. 1 it :d twice. When an Indian spoke in the ! vogue river tongue, it was translat ed bv :m Indan interpreter into Ciii 110 )k or ja'gn tome, w!in I tniuslated it iu'o hi iglish, whin Lun or Palmei . spoke the pros was reverse 1, I giv- is H sp interpreter made t!ie hihor te liou-?, an 1 it w.is n t till late in the afternoon fiat, the treaty was completed and .-igned. In the mean tim i un episode occurred which came noir tnninatini the treaty as wed as the represent ifinn, ofnne of the 'diigii eonti acting parti-.--." in a sud-len and tragic m.inner. A'oju the nrddle, of the afternoon a young In lia'i came running into c.unp s-'ark n ike 1 with tlic j)ers.:ration streaming from every pore. ' He made a brief harangue and threw himself upon the ground apparently exhausted. Mis speeeh hud created a l gre it tumult among his trib. (ImAI Lane tdd me to inquire if the Indian imer)reser the can e of the commotion The Indian re;d.el that a company of white men cum! down on Applcgate creek and under command of Ciprr.in (jwen, had Lint morning eiptured an Indian, kno.vnasJim Taylor, aud had him tie I up to a tre and -hot t) death. The huhhub and confusion anio-ig the Indians at once oceanic mfc'hc-e and murder glare 1 from each savage vis;X; The Indian interpreter told me that the Indians were threatening tj tie us up to trees and serve us as Owen's men had served Jim Taylor. I saw some Indi ans gathering up lass-ropes while others drew the skin covers from their guns and the wiping sticks from their muz zles. There appeared a strong prob ability of our party beiug subject to a sudden volley. I explained as briefly as I could what the interpreter had communicate 1 to me, and in order to keep our people from huddling together and thus make a better target for the savages, I uad a few English words not likely to' ho understood by th? Indian fnterpr-'t-.r, sueii as "disp rse, . and "seggregite." In fact wejeept so closet) the savages and separated from one amtlier thr a ly general firing must hive bien ii'jirly .ras fatal to the Indians as to the white. YVdo I admit that. 1 th night my time had come and hurrielly thought of wile and chil dren, notice I nothing but coolness among my enmp mimis. Gen L ine sat uo ma log with his ar.n bandagel in a slin, the lines about his mo.it' rigidly compresspng his lips, whi'e ins eyes 11'asMeI fire lie asked brief qucsti.-iH and gave me stntentio is answers to what little the In-Uans said tj us.jaript. A. J. Sin-th, who was prematurely grey haired and was afflicted with a nervous snipping of the eye, leaned upon his cavalry saber and loo-d anxiously down up m his well formed line of dragoons in t'ie valley bvdow His eyes .snapoe l m re vigor.)us'.y than usual and mutt-jivi l word esa ipad from under the old Oraom's white mus tache thai did not sound like priyers. Kis sipiadroM loo'ce 1 b:viutifu5 , but alas! they could render us no sevic 1 sit down on a log c'ose to old chief doe, an 1 hiving a sharp hunting kaifj under my huntirg shirt, kept my hml near its handle, determined that there would be one Lidiiui made "'good" about the time the hYwg commenced. In a few j moments Gen. Line stood up and com menee 1 ti speak slowly but eiy di tiuctly, lie said Owen-, wiio had vio !..,re .!, ...rim'stim :md killed Jim T,ivlr is a had man.

As General Lane and party rode back across the vnll..v WB ln.ke.J back and saw the r .v f thn sfittiiiL' sun irilding the sum- mit of Table Rock. I drew a long breath and remarked to the old General PH which he expressed the opm-th-it the next time he wanted tigoun- ion that the least time in which any armed into a hostile camp he must person could probably make the cfov hunt up some one besides myself to act as interpreter. With a benignant smile he replied, "(,od bless you, luck is better than science." I nevor hear the fa'e of Gen.
