to got that err at battle where some of

g.W Ceu. PalmK, ut the request of the
citizens of this place, removed lust Tbura-
day every Indian from Oregon City, to
ward the Reservation in Yamhill. Out
streets lk quite dull since their departure.
The cache found here last Sunday, about
which to much has been said here and else'
where, consisted of an old trunk, coniuin.
ing a psir of saddle-bags, five or six old
knives, seven or tight hatchets, three or
four bullota, and a few rags.
Iu reference to this matter, we think Gen.
Palmer has acted judiciously, sensibly, ami
humanely. U has removed the Indians
just as noon as lhe citizens requested him
to do to, and when it became necessary
for the safety of the Indians themselves.
dipt. Rinkarson wen' up with
Oen. Palmer to the Reservation last Thurs
day. The Captain has the reputation of.
being one of the best Indian fighters in Or
egon, Lul he hasn't full like shooting that
"favorite rifle" At the Whig, and Know
Nothings, and be has politely made his bow
lo the clique, and declined doing their dirty
work.

Well, well I
would tell ut it was a lie. I lowever, in our
population we have the elements of ureal-
neae and goodnoes, out of which, by the
id of philanthropist, and the influence of
ohoolt, we expect lo rear a noble socinl
fabric. Of one thing we rest assured, that
Uregon litis before her a proud and interest
ing future.
fcS" Upoa the arrival of tho distressing
news from lhe Ca-cades Ins! week, Cnpt.
Ainswortii immediately loaded the Jen
nie Clark with volunteers, and proceeded to
the scene ol difficulties, but found the In
diant dispereod upon his arrival.
CO" It teeiim, that upon tho arrival of
the volunteer forces, that went up from
Portland to the Cuscndee, about 400 regu
lar bad come down from iho Dalle to the
blook house four milos above, and the In
dian immediately retreated into the innun
tlini. The settlers on Sandv. anrt all
along the froutier on the north side of the
Columbia, have rushed either to Vancouver
or Portland for protection.
Col. Wrioht, has a large force of the
"Shanghai!" stationed at the Cascad.t
Hit mon aro scouring the brush iu every
direolien, and looking out for Indians. Mr.
MoCormick informs us that Col. Wrioht,
in a speech to bit turn told them, "If you

bit sign of boing an apt ttholar in studying
Indiau character and tactic.
The next thing w shall rxpeot to hear
fr.im you will be that you have adopted Dr.
IIknry's sentiment as expressed in the
letter he wrote to The Statesman from
Grave Creek on the 12th of last Octnber.
He said thai as "our mountains are equal
to inn hammocks of Morula as place 0f
concealment for the Indians, I presume the
war will continue for six months;" (the
time will be up noxl Saturday.) He also
said that " there should be 200ft men in
Rogue River valley, well armed and rquip.
ped, with as little didty n possible," Htf
argued that as it took three thousand men
under Gen. Scott to conquer three hundred
Indians during iho lilack Hawk war. on
tht Illinois prairies, we conainlv needed
2000 men to conquer the Indians in Regno
uiver, considering tlie dillicultie3 to over-
eomn. 1 he Sentinel thinks they need
the whole of Urig. Gen. Lamerick's Ii. pi.
meni, and six hundred regulars or more,
which, as near as we can guess, will make
just about 2000 men.
The very ne,t week after publish
ing Dr. IIkniivs l.-tier, the ...nliments of

Strange what the force of habit will do!

friliuUi of lite Attack oa tka l.rat.
Oueoon City, April St, 1856.
Editor Argus Dkab Sir : Complying
with your request I hasten to give a brief
Account of tho attack on the Cusciidc lut
Wednckdny morning.
I had blurted my boat tip the rapids with
a Ion J of g'Xida, and proceeded myself tip
by land three quartern of a mile iu farn
the wharf boat, where the Utile lands the
U. S. freight. My boat then cine in to
the adore. I wot trying to gal a crew of
Indians, but wbi told by a half Spanish In
dian, formerly of the French Prairie, lhal
the Clickatat and Yakima Indian were
around ihoir lodges the night before. We
went into Mr. Simpson' (Indian Agent)
office and lulked to lhe lialf-breed lo allay
bis excitement. Ho replied, "Il it truth I
am telling you ; you nre surrounded by
Indians run for your lives 1" At that in
slant we heard the report of the six-pound
er al tbe block house four miles oil, on lhe
Columbia river above. The half breed
said, ''the attack is commenced, and they'll
be here iu a few minutes." lie then dart
ed out of the office, ran down the road, end
gave the alarm to my family, and also to
Mr. Hamilton's. I started down the road
for home, after getting part way, I turned
and saw a man coining full speed on a horse
be said, "run, they are fighting at the block
house," which fact was now repeatdly an
nounccd by tbe report of the cannon, nt
short intervals. On reaching my boat the
women nnd children were already in it.
Four or fivo men slopped with what guns
and ammunition lliev could muster. In
attempting to land some 300 yards below,
1 heard tbe report of email arms. The
men we had left cried out. ' here they come,
do not land." I made my way down the
river, giving the alarm, nnd landing my boat
with such settlers as lived along the shore
Just below Sandy I met the Belle and Fash
ion, which returned lo Vuncouvernnd I'ort
land. After seeing my family housed, I
returned on the Fashion as a private wilh
a voiun'eer lorce. Un I'riday morning
the Fashion landed on the north side of the
Columbia, at the old whnrf boat, tho Bclk
landing on the Oregon sido.
The Fashion was not made fast, before
the voluteerj were overboard and rushing
up tho bank. The Indians wcro insight,
nnd distant about two gun shots. Port
land may well be proud of such boys as
these. Lieut. Sheridan then placed his
howitzer in a largo bateau of mine, nnd
proceeded up inside of an island lo lund his
men and provisions at tho block hotiso tin-
der cover of his gun. On arriving there,
ho had been anticipated by the regulars
from the Dulles. Tho ft iendly (?) Indians
(led to an island in tho Columbia, as tho
Clickatats and Yakinms retired to the forests
nt the approach of the regulars nd volun
teers. Col. Wright immediately tent a do.
tachment to the place of their retreat, nnd
bad them (19 in number) taken prisoners.
A cache wa3 found on the same island
containing several articles, which were re
cognized as having belonged to the citizens,
wuo nan either been murdered, or had
their home laid in ruins. Mr. Bishop
found a silk dress and shawl that belonf ed
to his wife. A Biblo, ome patch work
nnd an nccordeon were also found.
which belonged to my daughter. Various
other such nrlicles were reccnized.
Twenty pounds of powder were also taken
from lhe cache Tho Indians commenced
burning at Sheppard's. After bumincrhis
and Mr. lmnn house they proceeded l(
the saw mill, murdered Mr. Urown, scalp-
en nun, nnd liung him up in a tree. They
aiw Kinea ana sculped Urown's wife who
was a young lady of 18, recently married.
N. Palmer was shot, scalped, and thrown
into the mill pond. They Ihen came down
the road and burned a small house, and a
man in it named Peter , a Dutch
man. In the meantime, the wretches had
been busy nt the block house. Mr. Gris

that question. We nre glad to see that the
Dr. bus adopted our views of conservative
political measures, and of supporting sound,
capable, and honest men for office, as re
commended by Jeflurson, and practiced by
ull true democrats.
jtT One of our fair correspondents asks;
"Why do you not have a "Ladies' De
partment" iu your paper f I presume lhal
n gooil share of your readers nre of the
"weaker sex," nnd doubtless they would be
highly pleased if a part of your columns
was devoted to their interests."
Our reply is, wo have a "Ladies' Depig
ment,'' and a "Gentlemen's Department,"
toe. All of our paper is devoted lo the in
terest of both ladie and gentlemen, and
they nre all welcome lo our columns. In.
deed, we do not intend lo admit anybody
so. We have no particular little corner
with stereotyped headings, such as "La
lies Department," 'Farmer's Department,
Child's Depa-tmenl," "Education tl De
partment," and 'Gentlcmon's Department,
politely hinting that ull the columns not
monopolized by these standing heada aro
expressly rsscrved fur loafers and black
guards, just because our taste doesn't in
clino lo a newspaper got up wilh such I
parade of mechanical stiffness.
The ladies are always welcome to a
irge snare of our paper, however, and
when we insert ono of their communica
tions we shall nlways put it in as nice a
corner of Tub A Rons ns we can find, with
the understanding that if she doesn't see
fused to do, but agreed to act a Phyaiciaa
aaJ Surgeon to the Hospital at thit place,
nfier Bark well had signed a personal writ
ten agreement promising Dr. Greer a nip.

Matters are beautifully managed by the

gers from the South have just arrived
bringing intelligence of the most stirring
and exciting chnrnoter; several battles
have bern Ibi.cht within tho last few d
and a number of our soldiers killed nA
wounded. The first distmlthes bronnht in.
telligence of a battle fought on Cow Creek,
south of the Canyon, on the 24ih insL. br
Slit flield'a nnd Latshaw's companies, with
a band of tho Ro jun River Indians com.
mantled by Old (Jcorge andLimpy; the
volunteers Inst one man kilted and tWA
wounded : the loss of the Indians, as wall
as could bo ascertained, was three killed,
the number of wounded not known. On
be same day in Camas valley, about 20
miles west of this place, lhe Indians mad
an attack upon the settler of thai prairie
and drove away quite a number of eaiiU
and horses. They were pursued by a de.
lauhmenl of Cnpi. Buoy's company, and
made a running fight for several houn.
The volunteers gained a complete victory;
killed one Indian and wounded several oth
ers, and had ihe good fortune not to receiv
a wound or a scratch in tho wholo engage
ment. The Indians, however, very early
in the morning saluted the inmates of the
I'ort by firing upon them before the v bad re.
covered from their morning's slumber, and
then retreated to the lower end of the val
ley, fired tho vacated hons, and th
collected what slock ther wantH .nt
rushed for the mountains south. W lift V A
also intelligent of battles being recently
fought further south. In the Illinois valley
on Rogue river a pack train consiHtin ef
forty mules, as I understand, was sur.
rounded nnd taken by the Indians belong
ing to Old John's band ; three or four whits
men were killed and one wounded in that
engagement; no statements in relation to
ine Kiitea and wounded among the Indians.
It is further stated that Mui. Urn. .nH hi.
command aro now in that section actually
engaged in a warm and vitrorous c.intMi
with Old John and his entire band.
