Wo were not led to make the rcmiukt we did in reference to the priest bfcauso tluy wcro Papists, but because wu hud region to bcliovo they wcro traitor to our govern ment, and were identified with tho snvuges n tho present war. If Methodist, Presby terian, or any other Protestant clergymen, Jind rcudercd themselves equally obnoxious, ve should probably lmvo given our opinion, at tho time, that they deserved to be brought out of the Indian country, with all their "trnp,M to undergo a trial befuro ft jury for their lives. But, sir, to ono of your ful hoods : ''You farther assert ss faot, nbul in this, as in Che Cyu.i wur, (bene priests have been detected in lli very act of convoying largo quantities ut jwwdcr In ill direction of the camp of tho enemy,' 1'his, iir, i ac which omaimicd from your own distorted Imagination, a during tio Ouyue wur nu ipiiest wu evur iloiectoj iu any such a position, and you JUotc it," ' Now, ir, wo did not supposo that there was a man green enough in nil Oregon, (ex cepting, perhaps, the bipod of The States man,) to call our statement in question Vq happen to be an old Orvgouinu ourself, 'and profess to bo pretty well posted in ref- cronoo to many occurrences which will make lip tho future history of this lovely yel Llood'stnuicd laud. 1 ho proof of our as sertion we supposed oould "be comu nt by our tile of the Spectator, The fact was still vivid in oar memory. At tho date of this transaction Aug. 21st, 1849,) there were 'three frtpers 'printed in tho Territory; The (Free Pits, an 8 by 12 sheet, edited by H. i. Curhv, present Corernur of Oregon, and the Oregon Spcotator, n 2 by 3? slieet, edited by A.K. Wait, Esq., both publUhad ul Oregon City besides a semi-nioiillily pamphlet printed In tho Tualatin Wains, and edited by Rev. J. S.

Ii.:vc none of them, exoepting the Spectator, cnu talrjad the official correspondence necessary tftrake out our case. We supposed, nii'l (ro'Vlid' many others, that all the old lit' of itho Spectator were long sinco dcstreyr.fi. fxoepting tho Imperfect ono in our oflic. .'When "ACutboliot'itizon"called our state "roent In question, wo of course referred to tho "fllu" for proof, but to our astonishment this particular paper was 'missing, although tho immediate preceding and succeeding numbers wcro all there, embracing the 'wholo summer of 1848. Tho missing num ber was accidentally () misplaced, of course, and tho proof of that transaction supposed ;to bo beyond our reach. By the kindness of a gentleman wo have been furnished with the desired copy from his own file, 'from which we take the following : vbCatholte rrlcsts Arms and. AmraulUon. "By reference to the following teller by Lieut. Rodger to Gov. Abernelhy, it will be won that 'the arms and ammunition ultempled to be taken . inlo the upper In Jiun country by the Catholic priests, have been seized by Lieut. RoJgers, ami deposited in Ft. Leo. Order had been dispatched to Lieut, Rodgera to seize and detain those munitions. Much - credit ii due to Lieut. Kodgera and tho little gar rison at Ft. Lee, for the promptness and efficiency with which they acted iu the matter. We'uuder- utand that there was no deposition on tho part of the government, to destroy or confiscate those mu nitions, but, that they were detained to prevent their transportation into the Indian country under the present juncture of affairs. We had intended to have spoken plainly upon the attempt, by Cath olic Priests, to U'aiisport such a quantity of arms and ammunition into the Indian country at this time, but as those munitions have been seized, and are now safe, we abstain from present comment upon the transaction. Oregon Spectator of Sepl 1th, 1848. . , Fot Leb, W'ascomm, Aug. 21, 1S48. ' To Governor Abcrnethy : Believing it to b my duty to let you know any ' thing of moment that transpires at this station, for this purpose I now address you. At about 2 o'clock, r. M., at this present, a boat .-arrived, consigned to the French Priests who have taken up their residence here, loaded with about seven or eight hundred pounds of gun powder, fif teen hundred pounds of lead, and Ihree boxes of :guns. I thought h was my duty, immediately, to uko eharge of them, and keep them until I get orders from you as to their disposal. By examin ing into the waller, and sending me directions as to my future conduct in this affair, you will greatly oblidco i' Your humble rervant. . Lieut A. T. RODGERS. P. S. It seems impossible to me, that they can require so much ammunition for private use." Now will "A Catholic Citizen" contend that our statement in reference to the "larpe quantities of powder" is not fully covered, ly "seven or tight hundred pounds of pow der, fifteen hiindrtd pounds of lead, and three boxes of guns A man who can onblmhingly utter such e t .u create a public sentiment tn favor of these j ,n, .1, is b. lovv contempt, and we I'.cl our tak of r.o-iiy l.im 10 bo truly liuniiliatiiiff.

From the Table Rock Sentinel, and from our correspon dence, wa condense the following uews: On the 21t Januury, Maj. Bruce and Copt. Al corn fell in with a band of "5 or 100 Indians on Murphy's branch of Applcgate creek. A desper ate encounter look place, and the whites would havo been overcome, but for the aid of Lieut.

Dear Muthcr1 am now on Deer Creek, laying up to recruit our suimals. The snow is fourteen inches deep, and thawing some to-day. Isaac Bently has had 1200 bushels of wheat burned by the Indians. They have been burning and killing ever since I came here. Three weeks ago they burned eleven houses on Ten Mile Prairie, 18 miles from here. Several citizens pursued and overtook them next morning, and routed them ut breakfast about daylight, killing ono certain, and probably more. The volunteers are a perfect nuisance here; the officers have got their bauds into Uncle Sam's pocket, and they expcot to make a large haul At the Meadows they had a dead set ou the Indi ans, bad they fought them, but (hey withdrew, burning ten days' provisions for 600 meu while tho Indians were telling them to "charko," if tlicy "tickied sullex," saying they had two white wom en iu camp, and to come and get them. But they chose to prolong the war, and let those women re main with the Indians, than lose a few dimes by ending the war.
