The Orcgonian gathers some facts in relation to the campaign, to be prose cuted this winter against the Indians of the plainst from the St. Louis papers. The plans as projected and now in prog ress, include the services of 5,000 troops? divided into eight bodies, the whole un der the command of Phil. Sheridan, who are moving simultaneously from the east, north and west of the location of the hos tile Indians, and will cover the country and force them toward the western por tion of the Indian Territory, or the re gion intersected by the 35th parallel of latitude and 105th meridian. It is ex pected that the converging columns wiil thus be able to compel the Indians to surrender and be placed on reservations, or will chastise them into peace.' The hostile warriors number between three and four thousand, and will hardly be able to resist the forces now being sent against them. They have never known Uncle Sam before to take the "war path" with the winter coming on. '" According to the statement just pub ILeWd iik-- work -by". 'A.
