Our friend William Elliott, of Captain
Kelly ' command of Clncknmns county Vol
unteers, reached this city on lait Wednesday
afternoon, having beon tlisclinrjjnd from scr
vico in consquctico of sickness. Ilia phy
sician prono'incctl liis Jinonse (tin o(T clion

imiiiodiuto return to liis family. Prom liim
we learn tho following particulars :
'lie coinpnnica at tho Dalls were making
every exertion to lie in readiness to leave in
pursuit of tliu Indians on last Tuesday, in
order to bo in llie lield sufficiently early to
inert n company of two hundred mon which
liad left Puget Sound for llie scat of war,
and would probubly be in Iho field fighting
by the time our army could possibly get
there. They had already taken nix Indi
ana, who were prisoner in chains, at (he
lime Mr. Elliott left the Dull. Thry were
taken on tho South lido of the Columbia,
and wore of tho hostile band. Two of
them wam the Columbio somo six miles
above the Palls, and concealed themselves
in a canyon. Tho friendly Indians brought
in word of their whereabouts, when Olncy
furnished them with revolvers and sent them
after I ho savages, whom they soon captured
and brought into camp. From these lo
ans they learned that the warriors wore for
tifying, some forty miles from the Dalls,
on a point which tln-y thought would bo im
pregnable. From their account, tho Indi
ans number sumo seventeen or eighteen
liundred, mid are busily engaged in con
titructiiigcnhaukinen's of enrth and rocks,
fully determined to light. Tho Indians say
they want to fight I ho regular soldiers, but

Jiau no idea at the beginning of tho war that
111 ey would ever bo called upon to encoun
ter any thing but iho regulars. Their ex
IriuifiiU with Mnj. Nailer's command
seem to have inspired them with the belief
that "soldiers" are nut what they have been
represented to bo.
Tho point at which tho Indians have for
tified is said to be overlooked by several em
inences, which will afford good facilities for
cannonading thorn. Our army has six can
non ana three howitzers, wilh plenty of
lalls iiiul shell. Iho country from the
lallj lo tho Indian camp is said to be so
rough as to render it impracticable to take
more than two cannon into the field. Not
withstanding tho warlike demonstrations of
tho savages, auj their bluster ubout brave
ry, it is thought that wlmn their spies carry
into camp tho news of our forces r route
for the scene of action, they will take a
stamped for tho mountains. They .ay t,,.y
iutend to risk one engagement, and, if they
are deUtcd, ,T tttrv ncrost ,1(J
"King Ooorgo" line into the lritjsl, po,,.
ious, where the "IWons" dare not follow
them.
Mr. Siiiel.(ir, commander at FtWalla Wal
la, baa brought in hi family, as the Indians
bad threatened their live. A party Canu
te tho fort for the purpose, of murdering
them, the night after they left.
One of the Indians now prisoners at the
IXtll had iu his possession when captured
100 pounds of powder, which ho said be got
of Thompson, the Indian Agent, some six
or eight weeks ago. Thompson denies the
truth of it. There was considerable excite
ment at iho Dalla on account of it.
- Mr. Ellimt gi,oa us the following the
true version of the story alwut the Catholic
priests haMiig been delected in carry
powder into the Indian counlrr : IV n.
Ibeprust-mg
bad Uth, Dall. in wn.p. with . pm-fc jh
to li-n auJ -a rrcrch.nw
soiitcttbero on tho Uinutilla, perlaips. Af
ter proceeding some wiles up the roid, tlcy
were overtaken by a parly of whites from
the Dalls, who became suspicious that some
thing was wrong, and accused them of hav
ing powder in their nossesiiion. The priest
acted as spokesman, and said he bad only
six pound, which ho was taking up for the
use of the Nex Perce. lie was required
to return to tho Dulls, where their packs
were searched, and 100 pounds more were
found. The priest said the powder did not
b luiig to bim, but belonged to a French
man, who, perhaps, owned part of the
train. Mr. riinciair mums me priest uu
Joubtedly owned the whole of the powder.
This is our own opinion, and we have no
doubt but that tho powder would bavo
found iU way into tho Indian camp io a short
time, if it had not been luckily seized i
transitu. The very fact that these eneak
iti2 Jesuits have tabernacled with those
same Indians during tico outbreaks, eat
ing and sleeping with the savages, while
their hands have been reeking with the blood
of while people, men, women, and children,
and they themselves were unharmed as to
a hair of their heads, but were permitted to
sit down quietly and feast with the mur-
lerers as par while fratrum, and the fact
that at the same time when these priests
seemed to have an almost unlimited control
over the savages, they permitted, without a
word of remonstrance, their red-skinned
brethren lodrag ofT and shamefully violate,
day lifter day, a white woman who had been
taken captive at tho Whitman massacre,
and iho fact that at the lime of both these
Indian outbreaks these priests have found
it very convenient to tniike a trip to the
Valley for llie purpose of laying in a larj;e
supply of ammunition, has induced us to
believe that these same sneaking, cringing
Jesuits havo been busily engaged in instill
ing into tho minds of thoso Indians some
thing very different from the gospel of
"pence and good will to men." If tho war
with the savages should last as long as the
Trojnn war, and if, by any possible means,
there could be a union of nil the tribes of
Indians west of "tho Rocky Mountains su!h
cicnt to enable them to sweep every inch of
settled territory with firebrands and toma
hawks, w ho doubts but that these same cant
ing, whitelivcred priests would corno through
tho war unscathed, and would bo permitted
to nestle down in tho circle of savages danc
ing around the scalps of women and chil
dren, as safe from harm as ono of their dig
ger brethren burrowed in a niche among the
rocky bluffs that environ Klamath hike f
Another thing that looks a little suspicious.
is tho fact that the Indians nt Fts. Coh illr
ind Walla-Walla, among whom these
priests reside, and who are pretending to oc
cupy a sort of neutral ground, arc now re
ceiving and guarding tho property of those
Indians who nre engaged in the war. Mr.
Sinclair says that an Indian living near Ft.
Walla-Walla, who owned not lo exceed
twenty homes of his own, had in his possess
ion about one thousand horses at the time
Im (Sinclair) left the fort, and the Indian,
upon being interrogated as lo the manner
in which ho came in possession of them,
gave no satisfactory answer. Mr. F.lliott in
forms us that two compntiies of volunteers
wero to proceed forthwith to the ranches of
these Indians, for the purpose of taking the
property in chargo.
We shall soon hoar from our warriors.
Our NolAtrm vare.
We learn from Mr. Elliott, that great dis
satisfaction existed among tho Clackamas
volunteers on account of the miserable pro
visions they wore called upon to encounter,
during their rcndexousnt Portland.
Tho corned beef was pronounced by them
to bo "carrion," not being smellable, to say
nothing about being eatable. The flour
wasmado of very smutty wheal, and as
black as a starless night. Tho blankets
were very thin and slaiy and hardly fit for
snddlu blankets. We understand that Cnpt.
ieny came very near swearing a little over
tho accommodalions that were furnished his
men, and scut back a loaf of bread from
Foster's for our inspection ; but a it never
arrived, wo presumo that the bearer got
nungry on llie way and ate it, or was attack.
ed by Indians and threw iho bread at them
iu place of a rock.
Whether the blame is chareablo to th
Commissary at Portland, as is alleged by the
volunteers, we are unable to sav. The
blankets might have been all that were at
command, but we are sure that our brave
boy eouU and oiyht to havo had decent
food.

into Mr. Walker's yard, where he had put
up for tho night, and in company with an
other gentleman dischurgod their revolver
for the pnrpose of reloading them. The re
ports awukened the neighbor, in every di.
reciion, who, thinking the whole timbered
country was swarming with red skins, made
all possible haste to abandon their houses
and take to tho brush. Ono woman, who
was confined to her bed with rheumatism,
was hastily wrapped in her bed clothes and
deposited in a hiding place in tho timber,
upon the cold, damp ground. The while
warriors assembled from every direction, a
bridge on tho ro ut was placed under guard,
and scout, sent out lo ascertain the w here
abouts of the Indium. Upon coming to
Walker', house they asceJtaitied their mis
take, and went homo to gather in their shiv
ering families, and warm them up by a bla
zing fire.
Upon a recent visit to Yamhill, we were
astonished to witness tho excited state of
tho public mind. It was no uncommon
thing lo hear wagons lumbing along the
road at the dead of night, bearing the "fami
lies'' out of glens and valleys bordering
upon tho C"ast chain of mountains, dowu
farther into tho valley whero it was sup
posed, by gathering a goodly number of
men into one houso, they might be able io
keep the savages at bay. All sort of sights
and sound, were constantly reported to have
been seen and heard, giving evidenco of the
presence of Indians in tho mountains. We
wre awakened at midnight by runners with
rifle in hand, who thought they had heard
the yells of the savages in the adjacent hills
preparing for a descent upon tho valley.
Our "women and childreu" have been con
siderably frightened by Indian reports, but
we have always preferred sleeping, to wash
ing for Indians, when we had no reason to
believe thuro was an Indian within seventy
miles of us.
It is well enough to bo sufficiently inter
esttd iu tho mutter to keep our guns in or
der, as wo know not what may possibly
happen, hut thore is no use in hatching up
imaginary dangers, whon there is uo prob
ability u( any immediate danger in the
Willainmette valley.
ttoae Crazy.
The Corvallis organ of licentiousness and
debauchery comos to hand ibis week literal- j
ly jammed full of editorial about "crazy
men" and their wild antics. Like a drunk
en man who ihinks every ono else to bo tip
sy, he thinks many of the good people of
t ortland to be insane, besides talking a
great deal about fools and idiots in different
parts of Oregon, thus giving unmistakable
eviaence of hi having cither gone crazy, or
of having taken in his brother Wiggins a
a co editor. We presume I hat the "clique"
have thought best lo muke this arrange-
ment, in ordor to give the paper respecta
bility, and some little chnracler for truth.
Wiggins is, perhaps, now iu the editorial
chair, whilst his brother is doing up small
jobs around the office. The paper has im
proved but little as yet, however ; but as it
contains one truth this week, though some
what mutilated, we are eucouragod to hope
that it is on the mend. Wiggins certainly
cannot worst it as to falsohood. AVe find an
article on the outside, (which is, probably,
still retained as tho senior editor's depart
ment,) in which he attempts to cvado the
proof we gave throe weeks ago that tho pa
per advocated licensed debauchery, by first
telling us that Grovcr wrote it, and second
ly, that it docs not prove what we said it
did. Will the young man publish our
proof, and let his readers judge as lo wheth
er wo made out our case I The urticlo an.
pearcd in the Corvallis S-atosman as a lead
ing editorial, and it matters littlo whether
your Irish reporter, Grovcr, Wnymire, you,
or Wiggins made tho deposite that week,
the doctrine is there clearly and unmistaka
bly set forth, and a full length moral por
trait is drawn in which any of you can see
your faces, and at which not ono of v
would-blush were ii not for the consciousness
that a frowning populace was standimr at
your backs.

Wo have just been favored with n box
of apple and pear from our old friend Sam

thut tempted Molhc r Cvo "above what she

from tho box sent us by our friend Sim
mons, and saw tho mammoth apples, look
in" for all Iho world just as we have always
inui'iiud those looked which hung upon
that fur-fumed tree in Eden. Mr. Ladd is
said to have brought tho grafts from the
Slates, but we arc in doubt as to whether he
has not inado a pilgrimage to Asia, and
clipped his scions from that same old tree
we havo all read about. Our littlo ones
dunccd and clapped their hand for joy, our
printers all invoked blessings upon the head
of "Father Simmon," whilst we involun
tarily exclaimed Eurika. Tho apples
many of which were fall fruit, measured
about thirteen inches in circumference, and
had a flavor and richness rarely equaled,
and never surpassed. The pears were not
as largo as we havo seen, but superior lo
nnv thin!? we ever nto for excellence. We
aro not iible loglve tho names of the varie
ties as we received none, but wo thought
as wo nto llicin, how truo the saying,
"there's nothingin a namo."
If, like our brother editors at Portland,
we wore a "stove pipe," w'e should certainly
(to use a hackneyed phrase) "dofT our bea
ver," but as it is, we take off our old weath
er beaten Panama, and make a very respect
ful bow to Samuel Simmons, hoping the
frost may never nip a blossom on one of
the trees of tho Monticello Farm,
jiST Mr, Elliott informs us that Hon.
William Strong, of Washington Territory,
has volunteered, and his company has beon
mustered into the U. S. service. I Io says
that there is a probability that Strong will
assume the command of tho whole, regular
force.
Valnfnt.
We learn from tho Oregonian and Stand
ard that the editor of the latter on a recent
occasion had the misfortune to run full tilt
against a sworn, scabbard and all, in the
hands of Col. Packenstos, damaging the
instrument considerably, by badly bending
it. We see no particulars of the catastro
phe, but, from all we can learn, the editor
must have been trying to play at his old
game by a "bunting' assault upon the
Colonel. The sword was nil that saved the
Col., and Dryer thinks the "brick in the
hat" was all that saved the editor.
As it seems to have been a drawn Utile,
wo suppose both parties will throw in to re
pair the damages done the sword.

Friend Attaint W'e aro liavng a jolly time of
it here. Sinco the pale-f.iccd wnrr'om from the
Valley commenced arriving, bunlnc-a hu been aa
lively in our c ty as ever it w.is on Ivce tn el in
New Orleans at tho yearly return fr.m the cotton
and sugnr plantation. All ia bustle and tir, nnd
tho b-iya are ua busy as nailer in prepnr'ng to
meet the foo. The iinnwiiig apjienninco of our
little army term to inspire the Indium in this vi
ciuity wilh a great deul of uwe, ami they t xjircs
thenuclvc to me that when the runner carry a
correct report of our cujiubilil'e ami of our intru
lions to the war parly, their bou:cd courage will
probably evaporato, nnd they will becotuo exceed
ingly quath and prefer leg bail to lighting. You
may be assured thut the presence of our voluuleor
lias had a wonderful influence in auothing the ex
citement and allaying iho fear of onr women and
oliildrcn. Before the arrival of the ''b iy," a coin
p.iny of Indians mailo their appearance up a the
opKite bank of the Columbia, and, by firing their
gun across the river, and other demonstrations o:'
di fiance, intimated to us pretty clearly lliut they
would like to huvo us send ovrr a email detach
ment mid try to take tluni. Their object doubt-
leas was to induce us to cross the river nnd give
them chae, when we would be iinuiediutely flunk
ed by parties on either side, which by Iho aid of a
glut we discovered lo bo lurking in the ravines
above oml below the red rascals who threw the
javelin of defiance ut us from tho nppiwiie bank.
Our fumilie are all iu excellent spirts siuec the
arrival of llie ' bop," and one of our matrons went
so far us to express horself that she would feel saf
er under the protection of a hundred volunteers
than under that of al' the regulars iu the Ciiniea.
Fiom present appearances we would judge thai
even tho sons of our sires who haro settled on the

so thut it will etay done, until we have a second
crop of red devils come on the stage, nt least. Iu
order to give the buy a little exercise, and let them
expend o:iio of their dare-devil steam i.ccaainna'ly,
small detuehincut are frequently sent out us scout

There are many different opinions hero as to the
aetuol sirength of the Indian force. It is variously
estimated at from two to three thousand men. Uut
from all tho data that I havo been able to gather
una my moan of know.ng nre, I think, a good a

II". Z. Adams Lear Sin: Although
you and I have, in tho general, labored in
connection with riilHrent paliticnl parties, I
am much pleased with Tin Argus, in its

You were censured by somo for support

wrong, make God's truth your guide, nnd if
you are not sustained, it will bo because
there is not enough moral principle ' in the
country lo do it. '
