,'. Gun. Palmer brought up on the last
iteimcr nearly seven linn JrcJ Indians,
inoit of the Coq uillo tribe, but a few of
them were of Gcorgn anil Limpy' bond of
Jiogu -River -Iudiaii, We nuiiceJ that
that wore only about 75 or til men cp
bio of bearing arms; tin rr-st were women
nnj children, wilh about n down very old
people nd cripple. .S',.iii of them termed
to b over 80 year of ago, and wore scarce
ly able to upj)Ort thr-ir trembling ur with
ered frame wiihotil assistance. V never
m tuoh a warm of childrcu to the. num.
tier of Indians. There must have been nt
leasts hundred little nuked fellow under
fuuryciirt of ngi, and, what surprised us,
they were nil ly but one, so fur a wc no
ticed.' They camped Monday night in
Linn City, nnd continued their route to
ward tho reservation In Yamhill on Tuesday
morning. Thry all feincd contented and
t in good spirit. Wc learn there are about
400 more on thrir way from Purt Orford,
which will leave John's band as sole t.nan't
of the mountains South. John has sent
in several of his men offering lo surrender
Lis arms to Cut. Duclianan and go to tho
reservation. If ho (loot thf , tho wnr will
of course bo closed, and peace will once
more spread lis r heavenly wings over the
beaiiliiiil vullejs and gnryroiu hills ol the
Synth, enabling tho citizens lo cultivate
their' land and work the mines. The
mine at the llig H ml of Iloguo River,
hich havo been lately discovered, are said
td bo rch, yielding tomo twenty cents to
the pan. However the people generally
may look upon the close of this war, we
cannot help rejoicing at the prospect of
peace, nnd we beliovo tho news will bo re
ceived nil over Oregon with acclamations
of Joy. We approve, heartily approve, of
the plan of taliing these Indians out of the
wild woods, and away from communication
with the whites. So long as tho whites nnd
Indians comtnunicato together there will
bo unavoidable difficulties, growing out of
wrongs indicted by one parly and illcgul ro
entinent from the- othor. We bavo lived
all our life on tho frontier, where we have
witnessed evidences almost Innumerable of
the folly of bringing white men, inflamed
by liquor nnd passion, and blinded by nn
rice, in contact with Indians, who are igno
rant, revengeful, and jealous of what Ihoy
concoive to bo their rights. We have long
inco como to tho conclusion that, before
any thing can be done to benefit them, by
the attrition of civilization, the development
of intellect, nnd the inculcation of niornli
ty.they must bo removed from the influence
of bad men, and placed under ihu teaching
and control of good men, whosj hearts are
warm with a divine, a Godliko philanthro
py, which commiserates tho sufferings of
poor hiimnn nature, howevor humble and
degraded; men who havo a magnanimity
of soul, and disinterestedness of purpose
enough to labor for tho good of iheir ful
lows of all languages and nil colors ; men
who are sufficiently imbued with the spirit
of linn who was meek and lowly, who
went about doing good, wiping away the
tear of totrow, nnd binding up the broken
hearts by acts of kindness, to devote their
time lo audi labors of love.
' Tho Government has spent moro money
already In Indian wars than would have
boen necessary nt first to set on foot and
carry out a policy wise, humane, and expe
dient, that would have ombraced ult l lie In.
dians with whom they havo been at war.
Wa are not fully satisfied that any real,
permanent benefit can bo conferred on the
older Indians, and wo nro not quilo mi re
but the provaling opinion in rcferoneo to
tho gradual certain extinction of tho race
Is a true one; but tbn probability of ben
efitting tho young, and thu certainty of
eaving money to tho government, nnd pre
venting tho occurrence of difficulties war
rants the experiment. Let the Indians he
'disarmed and placed upon snme suitable
reservation, (tho reservation in Yamhill is
far from being a suitable one f.,r no large a
number of Indians,) then let I turn bo fur-
mailed with lauds and all the Implements of
husbandry, and taught to use thes, imple
ments ; let the youth bo educated ii all i,
ens that distinguish enlightened nations
from barbarians, am! let all tho uiicutn.
Manors bo thrown around tlioin that are fa
vorablo to a development of the higher or
der of faculties ; and being freo from the
degrading influences of i,pjor, tobacco, ami

as Delusion Smith, G rover and Wayniire,

The following extracts nre fiom tho
Washington correspondence of ihe San
Francisco Enniny Bu'Ltin, dated May 19,
1800:
RECOGNITION OF WALKER i GOVERNMENT IN
NICARAGUA BY TUB UNITED STATK.S.
The gro'lt event of the lijrluiirht is the
recognition of I lie Walk -t ' lovc-runi 'iii ol"
Nicaragua. Ky last'mail I think I inform
ed you ihut there was a probability of this
coiiuiiimat.ou at 1111 early day. It wa
not expected so soon, however. At a Cab
inet meeting held on the 0th iu.it., the Pres
ident was quite determined niion tha im-
mediate uccept ion of Padro ijil, tho new
Minister sent by Walker, with instructions
to prcb'eul himself as he should ascertain
thai he would bo received by tho Govern
ment of the United States. Marcy and
Cushing opposed the President with ureal
firmness, anil a seiiotm dispute cnued.
The President, however, finally necei'e I lo
Marcy' request thai hn would port point the
recognition until further news should he 'e
ceived from Walker, the Seen tary of Slate
nnd Mr. dishing agreeing in turn to with
draw their opposition if further neeonii's
should still show Walker Id bo ublo to
maintain himself. It is no secret that
Piece was hiouitht up to the resolution to
recoguizo Walker by the pressure anon
him through the speeches iu iho Senate of
Messrs. Uonjrlns, Heller, und Cass.
Marcy acquiesces in n result which he can
not help j hut you may judge of the spirit
in which ho does so by the (act that ho 1. ft
to his assistant the duly of presenting the
Padre for reception.
On Thursday, the President sent a mes
sago to Congress, transmitting ull iho cor
respondence on file at the Departments iu
relation to Central American affair, and
presenting his reasons for' exercising the in
disputed right to recognize the Walker
Government the chief ol which is thn ne
cessity of having immediate diplomatic re
lations with tho de facto Government of
Nicaragua, in oider that tho necessary of
ficial inquiry may be inado in relation to
iho seizure of tho boats and other property
of tho Accessory Transit Co., and that
steps may be taken lo reopen th inter
oceanic communication via Nicaragua. I
need scarcely suggest that these "ensons
aro after-thntighia, and not honest, because
they existed just as forcibly when tho Pres
ident refused lo receive French, two months
ago, as they do now. It may be said lUit i
in e niusi'u 10 receive rrencii on ivron
al ground. True, that was in reality i
stroii,: objection 10 him, bu. is not one
..our. w""lint could have made
C..eiaiiy, tor the reason that it is ihe es
tablished policy of the U. S. not to permit
foreign Governments lo inquire into iho
antecedent of our own Ministers or 8n-nts
whom we may send abroad. 0

Tho lung 1 xpecled disputed from London
iu answer 10 Mr. Marcy' demand for tho
recall of Mr. Cramiiiou, has been received
at last, nnd will to Jay be considered by th.
Cabinet. It is fl quiet, conciliatory docu
ment, but deeliife to recall tho British
Minister, insisting very Mrangcly on tha
fact that Cramplon himself atseila that
whatever he did in the. enlistment business
was done wilh tho full knowledgn and con
sent of Mr. Marcy. This, is daily and un
misiakeably contradicted by aulograph let
ters of Mr. Cramplon' in iho possession of
our Government, in which he botray hi
solicitude lest the knowledge of hi recruit
ing proceeding should come lo Mr. Marcy'
eii'. It is unnecessary to nrguo the ques
lion further. Mr. Crnmpton will bo die
inissod, together with liriiish Consult Bar
clay, M.iiliew and ltowecroft, implicated
wiili him. Recent development
have hon Mr. Cramplon to be utterly
without credit n s a gentleman and man of
honor, which will 110 fur to roconcilo hi
countrymen to hi dismissal. The official
coiiTsjiondeiicn which recently was laid
before Pailiamuiit, contains a Liter from
Crainpti'n to Clarendon, dated 31st March
last, in which ho slate that Mr. Clayton
has frequently, in conversation,' ad in mil tod
entirely iho lhiti.il construction of the
Clayton and Hulwer Treaty, Mr. Clayton
rose in the Seimtti a day or two tnce, and
pronounced this ia'enient absolutely with
out foundation. Ho a bo stated that in
.Match 1 11 he had an interview with Mr,
Crnmpton, iu the f ri-wnco of Senator Crit
tenden, in which ho asked Crnmpton about
the rumor that he (Clayton) had admitted
the liriiish construction of the Treaty; to
which Cramplon replied unhesitatingly,
(hat he (Clayton) had never so ncknowled
gi-d, but had always maintained the reverse'
to he true. .Mr. Crittenden followed Mr,
Clayton with his testimony to tha truth of
li b statement ; and Senator Fish, of New
York, ul.-o stati il to the Senate that Mr,
Crnmpton had tohl in conversation, that
Clayton' portion was thai claimed by tils'
latter for himself. Thn satuo correspon
dence contains letters fiom Cramplon mak
ing equally fnle nnd. absurd statement in
regard lo Messrs. Marcy and Caws the lat
ter of whom will expose tho fra'ids in his
case on the floor of the Se.nato to-day. The
Union well says that "considering ihe pe- .
culintiiies iu the. position of Mr. Cramptorv
at the. present time, we cannot but think
that his continued residence hero as tha
Miiii.-ter of Gi'i .'it I'ritnin, in view of what
he has clone ami may do in that capacity,
has quilo us much lend 'ticy to disturb the
peaceful relations of the two countries a
have I he. necefsary points of discussion re
garding either lite enlistment business or
Central America. "
The disiiiis-nl of I he British Minister will'

The Houso Committee on Foreign Relation

legisluiive co-operation wilh the Kxecutive to pre
vent the recurrence of d.flieully upon the Isthmus-.
.Mr. Pennington, the chairman, proposes the enact
ment of a law which shall give to Ihe Consuls of tha
United Slates at Panama and Aspinwall (with the
cenent of Mew Grnnadu) the same power to sum
marily iry and punich Amerieun cilisens for vio
Irftions of Ihe law at th.no ports, as is conferred on
American Consuls in China and Turkey. Tha ob-
ject of this is to place in tho hands of the Consul
power lo restrain our o n lawless passengers from
committing exesses upon the Isthmus, as well as to
otl'ord iho natives of 1 hat region also th assurance
that any wrong Ihey may suffer at the hands of a
turbulent or ruffian passenger will bo redressed,
and that ilis unneceniary therefore for bin to tak
