emtinn. Htm tiic prnclicauimy aim cipeuwunj
of entaliliiliing n tmiiailo ri'U'rratinn Rt tlie
lieiul of navignliou an Ynqniim Ditr, under tlie
prnvisioua nf tho net of Consroaa, approved
March 3d, 18G3, 1 Imve tho houor to luhinit tlie
following report :
Thu (Joaat Ki'icrvnlinn wai iclecteil lay late
SoporiuUMiilmt Joel I'almor in 1 8."5. ut a time
when the Weatorn Slope of tlie coaat moun
tuina hail ln-en but partially explore !, nnd win
nppoied to lie nearly or quite worthies!. Tlie
only vullfji aaitulile for human habitation then
known to oxiat, were needed fur the occupancy
of tlie Indiniit. nnd tho.o beet informed ho
tiered that tlie rnjfgeil nature of tlie uoatt range
of inonnlaina would forever debar tho popula
tion of the Willamette Vullcy from using the
hnrbnri which were found at tho eetimrici of
tlie Siaaelaw, Alacn, Tillamook and Yaquina
rivcra. Under tliia belief it waa quite natural
that little regard ahould be paid to economy in
annronriulinir territory which wn oonaidered io
s',m nluele8, and consequently the Coast Reiorra
! tion was made very large, extending North nnd
O ...L .1..... I. . 1 t ...11 ...i n.l .,..;.
OOUin nirUlU UIIV UUIIUIVU iiiiicd. ami u. caging
in breadth about twenty. After tho removal
of Indians to this tract wascoimnoucod, it wat
found that tho expense nnd difficulty of trnua
porling supplies across tho coast rnngo was so
great, that economy required a locution for tlie
interior tribes, on tho enatern bIoiio of the
range, and accordingly thu rights ol tlie settl
ers in a small valley known m tlie Grand
Uonde, (upon tho head of Yamhill Uivcr) wore
pureliaaeil, ami that tract (Townships 5 nnd fi
South, Itnnge 7 nud 8 West) was added tn the
already lurgo Reservation, nud an important
agency located Ihereon. Tho total number of
Indians nmv upon thi Ilenervatioii is by enil
mernlion 4. Hil distributed as fullows, to wit i
1.3ii2 at Grand Uonde, 2,312 at Silelz, nnd 5
at Alsca. Those at Grand Hondo have no com
munication with the Ynquiua Day, nnd will not
he nflected by nny tiling which may trnuspiro
there.
The Sileti: Agency is about twenty-five miles
from thu ocean, seven miles from the head of
navigation upon tho north fork of tho Yaqui'ia
Day, and thirty miles from the prtipneed town
site, which is upon tho south fork. It is locat'd
in the southern edge of a valley, upon tlie Si
lelz Iiivcr, nud is surrounded by a district of
very fertilo land, sufficient in my judgment to
support a larger number of Indians than nre ut
nil three, of the agencies combined. There are
other valleys nf less extent further north upon
the Salmon, Neetucka nnd other streams which
put into tho ocean, upon which there arc no set
tlements. The Alar a Agency is upon the ocean, nbnut
thirty miles below the Yaqiiinn Day, ami eight
miles below tho Alana. Only two-thirds of the
ludians reported under the control of that
Agent, are actually at tlie Agency. Tho re
mainder are at tlie mouth of tho Siuselaw
Hivcr.nbout thirty miles further down thooonst,
where they have been permitted to remain be
cause they do not interfere with any whites,
ana subsist tlieiuscies tiy tinning and a little
agriculture. f
1 lie Inregome statements, il read with a mnp
of the Reservation, at hand, will enable you to
understand the location of the Indians; and It
is apparent that a settlement of whites at tho
Head ol tlie soutli torn of Yaquina Day, would
he in immediate contact with Indians on both
sides. Experience has shown that such
enntaat always results unfortunately tn both
whites and Indiana, and in my judgment it
oupht tn bo avoided. Hut at the same time, I
think, such change can be made iu the dispo
sition nf the Indians, aa will enable thu v hite
settlements tn take advantage, of tho facilities
fur transportation which the harbor of Yaiiuiua
affords, and at the same time escnpo tho evils
which joint occupancy of the san e territory hjr
whites and Indians, will surely entail. Thero
are lint 530 Indians located below (south of)
the buy referred to. but those at Siletz have tho
privilege of viailing it for fishing purposes.
Fish are as nliuudaut at the tnoulli ol Nletz
Kiver as ut Yuiiuina, nnd ample supplies fur all
lliu Indiana can be thore obtained. Dcsldes,
the tribes are all advancing rapidly in agricul
ture, and as they have moro abundant supplies
nf farming products, their want of fish dimin
ishes. If nil who nre located below the Ya
quina can be removed to places north of Silclz,
there will then be no objection to throwing the
whole south rn half of the Reservation oiu n to
settlement, nnd Ihe interest of both Govern
ment nnd Indians will be advanced. Thu hit
ter by being more compactly located upon land
which will allord them ample subsistence, and
the former by greater economy nnd efficiency
in their control and luaungeniect. Ihe t.ccrs-
sity fur one Agency would bn done an ay with
ml its expense, avoided, while no additional
expense, alter the removal, would he entailed
upon ihe Agency ut Siletz. I therefore recom
mend that uieasiircn be taken to remove the
Indians fiom Hiusehtw, Alsea ami Yaquina to
Ihe Siletz or some of the smaller valleys further
north.
If this is determined opou. the question will
then arise. Where ahull the southern boundary
of the Kcacrvatii n be fixed ! This office is
not in possession of sufficient Inlonnntinii to en
able me tn express a definite opinion upon this
point, without a particular examination of the
locality, but the boundary should undoubtedly
be snmewheru between the Siletz and Yaquina.
The diatnnco between the two streams varies
iu width, from seven to thirty miles, and, except
the giist mill belonging to the Indians, near tlie
south bank of tlie .Hilutz, ami the small settle
merits of Indians along the shores of Ynquiua,
is entirely unoccupied. It ia densely wooded,

ination. In removing the Indians (should that course
he determined U on) their consent must first be
oblnined, and provisions made for the expense
which will be incurred. 1 have repeatedly
called the attention of the Comimaaioner nf
Indian AfTaira (ride my Annual Report for
Ifti-'i, and same for IHti4) to the necessity for
some treaty provisions with the Coast Tribes,
and permanent arrangements for their control
and gnidauce. It is unnecessary for me to re
peat those suggestions at this time, but I cannot
Ion strnrgly urge the attention of the Depart

In regard tn the expense attending the re
moval, I have Dot been called opou for an es
timate, lint it is proper, in view of the desira
bleness of immediate action by the Government
(il action at all be determined on) that I should

The enclosed estimate covers in my judg

It was known ns early at least as ItU'J that a
harbor existed there, and so long ago ns April
1850, I happened to accoiniiuny an old resident
of Uenton county on a visit to this buy and the
adjoining country. Vessels entered there cer
tainly ns early as 1853, and morn or less have
oomo there every year since, Rut the trail by
which the mountains in til t direction were then
traversed, was exceedingly rough uud dillicult,
aud it has only recently been discovered that
a rond over which heavy transportation was
practicable, could be made. Hut suoh n rond
having been found uud partially opened during
tlie pust Summer by citizens, it is now evideut
that the oentrul counties of middle Oregon cnu
transport their freight, a part of the year at least,
through that channel much cheaper than by the
old route of tlie Columbia River. If tho bay
and the adjacent lands are thrown open to set
tlement, the counties of Linn, Lane, Denton
and n part of Polk, (the best agricultural dis
trict nl the I'acilio coast) will uao it partially
or wholly, as a means ol communication with
the ocean. As a men measure of revenue, tlie
Government ought to open this district to the
public for the town site under the Act of March
3d, 18(1.'), will probably yield more money than
will several times repay tho oust of removing
tho Indians, and tile1 thrifty town which must

SCENES OX SHERMAN'S MARCH.
A correspondent of tlie New York Herald,
who wus with Sherman's army during its march
turnugu Ueorgia, relates the lollowmg luci
dents :
Tho first plnco of importance sncountered
was the hcnutilul llttlo town of Covington,
noted, us geographers say, for its water-power
and pretty women. As Ilambright'i brigade
entered tho town tho Lancaster (1'ciin.) band
struck up "Dixie's Land," when two hundred
women rushed tu tho piazzas and doors to view
the Ynnkeo invaders of whom they had so often
read, bvury window nnd door swarmed with
blooming war widows, stately matrons and shy
virgins in homespun and coarso linen, Dut
when the Imud had fiuished "Dixie" and broko
off on " Ynnkeo Doodle," oh, what a retreat,
The piazzas were cleared )f their beautiful in
habitants, windows enme down with a slam and
doors closed very abruptly, until not a fair fnci
was visible. The troops, as they moved at the
right shoulder sunt, the State and national col
ors flouting in the silken Southern breeze, and
the nicely paved streets resounding to the t'ead
of the soldiers ol the Union, presented an nu
posing appearance, not eoon to be obliterated
from the memories of the rebellious sympathiz
crs with Davis and the Dovll. The column en
camped at eleven o'clock a. . near Allachovle
river, distant ten miles north ol Social Circle,
and halted for the day.
Many little incidents ocour daily that go tu
show a leader like Sherman can multo himself
familiar with his soldiers, and still retain their
confidence and maintain sliorooch discipline,
A. Colonel commanding a regiment, who wit
nessed it, iufurms mo that to-day a number uf
soldiers who were tilling their canteens from i
molasses barrel, near Sherman's headquarters,
were quarreling over tho division of the syrup,
when Sherman passing by coolly crowded in
among them and dipping his finger in it, put it
to Ins lips, rcinurking: " Don I crowd, boys,
thero is enough for all."
About six miles south of Covington we struck
thu til .utntinn ut Jnugo Harris, who is a Mas
sachusctls man. and owns over 200 negroes.
1 he plantation is one ol the moat extenaivo In
Central Georgia for the production nf cotton
and cerenls'of ull descriptions. Aa the column
moved past, tho third iuigade I'irat 1). vision
band struck up a quick-step, when fiom the
village nf negro huts the duaky sons of Ham
warmed forth in large numbers and rushed to
the fences. A rich scene followed. I ho ne
groes men. women and children struck oil
into a dunce, swinging themselves round and
twisting themselves into grotesque shapes that

while shouts of "(.lory be to do Lord, de Lin

were beard on all sides. They follnwed the
troops (or hall a mile, making the air ruaound
with their exclamation of gladness, until driven
hack to the rear.
It would be useless to deny Ihe fact that some
pillaging wns perpelruted in a lurgo army like
Sherman's, in a march through a country where
there was found so much tn tempt the luiiey
yet there wus very little canae for complaint.
All nlnng Ihe hue of march Sherman s sol
diers reveled in rebel scrip and foreign ourreo
cy. Thu citizens, bearing of tlie approach of
the "1 links, buried nearly all their valuables
much of which were exhaiiicd by tho men. who
rarely fuil tn discover it. Among tho large
"find'' was $2,000 in gold by some members
nf Ilubnrt's brigade of Carlin's division. Rebel
money is so plentiful in camp that the men light
their pipes with f "i0 bills and kindle their fires
with $5,000 Georgia State bonds.
No Party Mk.n. Dean Swift, in a passage
in cue of his essays, thus felioituusly hits oil' the
true character uf a " no party man."
"A Max op no Pabtt. Whoever gives
himself this charaoter, yoa may depend upon
it, is of a party ; hut it ii such a parly as he
ii ashamed to own. Foreveu while he says he
is nf no party, you may observe from the whole
drift of his discourse that he is plainly preju
diced in favor uf one party, nnd that too, al
ways tho worst. And the true reason nf hi
not declaring it is that the party i unt yet
strong enuogh to protect him. The justice of
tin! cuuae or the gondiiae j ol the intention seems
lo be wholly out of this gentleman's rthe.ne.
Tlie only distinction be goes by is tn be politi
cally nf no party that he. may be occasionally
nf either. Others there are who nre really of
a party and don't know it ; they carry on de
sign!, which are kept secret from them ; and
these indeed are such insignificant tools of a
party that they may properly enough be said lo
be of no party ; they ara machines purely pas
sive, and. without any will of their own, obey
the impulse of (lis wheoj that moves llisjin.
Hut you shall never bear a man of true princi
ples say that be is a man of no parfu : he de
clares he is of a party,-if resulutely tn stand by
and defend the Constitution must be called be
ing ol a party. Hut the other party it seems
must be divided into two sorts; those who are
of a party, and those who are not of a parly at
all. With the gentlemen who apply, the latter
expression themselves, I would beg leave to
reason thus : either they are of a party, or they
nre lint ; if tluy ure, they prevaricate grossly
(not tn use a more unmannerly expression)
while they give out the contrary t if they are
tint, they nnglit tu be ashamed nf such an in-
famnus neutrality, nnd of deserting that cause
which th'-v are bound in honor and conscience
to defeud."

C.UIrOhNIA AXTiqiTTlKS MAMS.
We wish to call the attention nf science. both
hero and at the Kast, tn certain interesting
revelations which have been made in the course
nf mining enterprise in tho southern part of
this State, The fossil remains, of which we
are about to relate, may be found in an exten
sive and valuable collection, in tho possession
of the Tuolumne Historical Society, located at
Sonora. The collection wns got together
mainly through the energies nf Dr. Perez Suell
who is now aver eighty years old, and whose
wholo life has been spent Iu tho development
nf American antiquities. He wns concerned
in the original discoveries at the Mammoth
Cave in Kentucky, nnd also nlong the Mas
king river. Tho venerable old man, now lin
gering on the farther confines nf life, deserves
tn be ranked with the most distinguish! of
Ainericnn antiquaries.
Some of the human fossils found in Tuolum
ne ooutity are of gigantic proportion, and so
well preserved that there can be nn poatilile
question that they once formed parts of human
Doilies, the like of whioh are not now found
living on the earth. Not tlie least important
of these wonderful antiquities were the remains
discovered on Dlanket Creek in 1855. They
were the thigh bone and skull of a human being
whose stature, calculating from theso remains,
must have been at least eight or nine feet high.
Their ni lout testimony is that this country was
once iulinhitnted by a raoc of huge people, or
at least, a race, some nf whom were gigantic.
The theory is reasonable. It Is no longer pos
sible tu doubt that tills regit n was formerly in
habited by a race of monstrous nnimals now
extinct from the earth, or, at any rate, that
this bus been the place of their burial. There
aro In that collection, in perfeot form nnd pres
ervation, tho bones of the Fossil Klephant, a
creature now extinct, nud which wns twice, tho
dimensions of tlie ejephant now existing. Thu
tusks were over ten feet long. Here nre nlso
the thigh hones nf tlm Mastodon, n smaller ani
mal, but still, larger than my living creature
known to naturalist. Alto, tho bones of the
Great Hyena, extinct likewise, nud many mure
gigantic remains, w hich our friend has collect
ed in Hint region, in the course of ten years'
diligent nud intelligent research. They are
all taugihle w itnesses from mysterious agus, to
which the mind of man runs only in In-wilder
iug imagination It seems reasonable that
since ntiimnls of such wondrous dimensions
had existence in that long gone, insorutuhle
tunc, there weru human beings constructed on
a like scale of grandeur ; that tho proportions
of Nature were observed then us now. That
theru were the ancient craves reveal sonu
cliers tint made with hands, but formed in the
nwful convulsions of tho earth in tlie timet of
her travail nnd trouble ; wlieu (lie crusted
waves ol the sea roilej above those pleasnn
valleys, and the mountains tossed their fiery
spray io tlie oiounn.
To prove that there were giants in those
days, wu will introduce some portions of an
antique gentleman, whose romains were found
under li'lilo .Mountain, 1 uulumiic county, in
18' 5. The relics consist nf an immense jaw
bone enliro, including ninny of the teeth, ami
the two thigh bones, both perfectly preserved.
They weru found on the bed rock, under Table
Mountain, throu hundred and fourteen feet ver
tically from tlie surface, and nearly half a mile
from (he horizontal entrance uf Ihe tunnel.
The thigh bones nf a person of common stature
are about lilleeu inches ; aon.etimes u, lull
more. Tun under jaw nf the skeleton is Gve
and a half inches at thu widest place, and im
mensvly strong. That of a comment sized man
now is three und u half inches, at thu snuio
place of measurement. Our enlightened friend
Dr. Suoll. considers that the remains of which
thcsTJ remains wero a part, must have been at
least eight feet in stature, perhaps nearly nine
feet. Here, therefore, without entering the
renlms of speculation, wo have tangible proof,
demonstrated by compass and rule, that a hn
mnn being more than eight feet high once
strode about these parts, rnd at some period
cotemporary wiih tlie formation of Table
Mountain he found a grave three hundred and
fourteen feet deep, where he slept in profound
oblivion until the stalwart miner untile upon
his rocky sepulcher.
Together with und near to these linman re
mains were Inuud other curious antiquities :
Stone implements nno probably designed na a
handle for a bow, hollow on one sido to fit the
weapon, nnd convex nn the oilier, to giro tlie
hand a better grasp. Alan, a pipe of tine work
manship, nud a scoop, or ladle, made of soap
atone, and Willi a well formed handle. I'mh
nbly that gigantic Nimrud had returned from
tho liuut, laid down his bow nnd wo preparing
his meal, when some wrnlhful Odin overthrew
Table Mountain, nnd created for him tlie pro
fonndest of sepulchers. A iiniill ornament,
about the thickness of a half-dollar, and coin
posed of the hemitita of iron nu exceedingly
hard siihaliiuue was found close by. It seems
tn have been designed us a sort of medal, was
hollowed round the edge, to admit a thong or
string. iipiI had a huh, in the center which had
been refilled with red ciiiiiiilnir, probably to he
used as puint. What makes this trinket worth
mention, is the fact of lliu mineral's extreme
hardness and the consequent difficulty of it
construction with tools likely to be in tho pos
Yii,ii of ravages. One other curious discov
ery wa made in descending the shaft; a sub
stance w hich bore a great resemblance in com
mon tallow ; soft and easily penetrated by Ihe
hand. It was considered animal remnin;
