Col. Cornelius, with nbout 450 men, is

which to ferry his men across Puako river,
as thero i no timber on Snako rivcr other

only ono in possession of tho volunteers.
As loan as tho boat U constructed it will be

Col. Kully informs us that the cattlV left
by tli Minns aro fat and make excellent
beef. There are no less than 3,000 head
nf theae cuttlo running at lar'o in the Will-la-walla
country. As there lire no Indians
in th country it is considered best to let
tln-m run until th")' can be gathered in nnd
driven to tho Dalles which will bo done
before long. The grass immediately in the
vicinity of the camp is needed for the horses
Ulonging to tho voltintoors. Consequently
tho cattle are not brought upon thn range,
only nt they are wanted by tho butcher
The cattle formerly belonging to lirooks
X- Huinford are not driven oil by tho Indi
ans, as was reported, but nri mostly safe,
nnd will bo gathered in by their owners.
Wm. McKay is also engaged in selecting
his stock from tho heid. The loss of thefc
gentlemen will not be ns heavy as wns an

Col. Kelley reports that a priest nt tho

who had bo n to the camp of Iva-inai-n kiii
on n visit to his father, brought back word
that Ka-iiiai-n kin had recently been to Iho

ISoloii ; ni:d if tho whites had lost more men
in battle than tho Indians, ho would deliver
up enough Indians to be killed by the whites
to make iho loss equal on both sides.
Tho Indians to whom bo made the prop
osition answered emphatically, "Xo. You
fir-t killed liolon and brought on tho war,
yon used every argument in your power to
induce us to take up arms ; we nt your so
licitation havo made common cause with you
and rendered the war a general one : we
have already lost our chief, our property,
our homes, and our all that is worth living
for; we are now by your influence into the
war, nnd whatever may bo your intention,

This story iho priest gave as coming
from tlm young Indian, and remarked that
while, ho could not vouch for iu truth, it
might bo tnkeu for what it was worth.

Tho Yrcka Union is out in favor of a
new Slate, embracing tho country between
i he Cuhq.ooia mountains on the north, and
iheTtiuiiy mountains on the south. , This
itching of oliiee-eokers to make a State out
of every twoor three counties on tho l'aci

people for somo time, uud wo suggest, as
an clleetunl method of curing it, lo "scratch"
their name oil' tha ticket, whenever they

Murder la ltotue UUrr.
Wo K-nrn from tho Tnblo ltock SciUml
that Mr. Alexander Williamson, a pontic
man well known und much esteemed In
that region, was murdered atlllinoi valley
on tho 2'id ult., by n Spaniard who was in
his employ. Th Spaniard stubbed Mr.
W. several times in the nbdomen whilst he
(Mr. W.) was standing by the firo, csuiiig
his dentil in a few hours. No provocation
had been given, and the cniie of the bloody
act was entirely inexplicable. The Span
iard was taken and hung on tho pot.

There has been quite a panic ammg our
citizens, produced by the destruction of
potatoes during the Into ficcze. They nro
held just now nt 81 00 per bushel, but we
nr inclined to think that they will bo
cheaper before spring. Thore were sevoral
improvident farmers who lost their entire
crop, but upon inquiry, we find that tho
loss was not as general fu wns anticipated,
and the market will doubtless be abundant
ly supplied iu a short time.

New3 from the States.
Tho elections in Louisiana and Mississippi
resulted in largo Democratic majorities.
Ono Know Nothing elected to Congress
from each State.
Nothing new from Harney or tho Plains,

Rusk U. S. Senator, both Democrats nnd
Know Nothings voting for htm.
lion. Ueiijaniin Fit.patrick, Dem., has
been re-elected to the U. S. Senate from Al
abama. .
In New York tho Know Nothing voto as
compared with that of -last year, has in.
creased upwards of 21,000, and tho Hard
voto about tho samo, while the Soft vote
has fallen off more than 00,000. The
whole Know Nothing State ticket, with
the exception of ono Judge, has been elect
ed by n plurality of over 12,000.
Our Government has, determined not to
becomo n party to tho Congress of Nations
called at Copenhagen, by Denmark, to con-
siuor tuo question of the Sound Dues. The
statement that Denmark docs not proposa a
Congress of Nations, but merely a confer
ence of lialtic States, is clearly erroneous
for the Circular received by the President
from Denmark distinctly invited our par
ticipation iu the proposed Congress. Thero
is reasou tn believe now, however, that the
aliiiir will result in a mero conference of
Baltic States.

The following is from the summary ol
tho A'i ip York lltrald : ,
Tho greatest excitement prevailed
thionghout I'ligland, amounting almost to
a panic, on the btil.jcet of a war with the
United States.
Our Liverpool ngent telegraphed lo Mr
P.uchaiian, tho American Minister, who
promptly and courteously sent him the fol
lowing explicit contradiction of the rumor:
'London, Night of the 2d.
'It is not true that the American Minis
ter has demanded his passports from the
llritish t.ovr rninetit. There is no founda
tion for Mich a report."
Tho agent, not feeling at liberty to make
use of this information, gave it no publicity
in England, w her?, as yet, tho rumor of n
rupture remains uncontradicted.
Tho London Time, in a series of mali
cious editorials, started the. subject, which,
exnggcratod by the provincial press, snecd
ily attained such dimensions that extras
wero issued announcing that tho American
Minister had drmntidcd liis passports.
Tho utmost astonishment nnd regret were
excited by tho riimouticcment, nnd energet
io protests we're heard against tho Govern
ment forcing tho nation into so dangerous a
war. ,
