ALBANY REGISTER. HP V. N. OiHcl.il Pnpor for OrPrn. FRIDAY. .TAXFA11Y, 17. 1WS. Auothrr Indinn Wnr Apprehended, A (State telegram from Corva'lk on the 14th mst. .tate that In - (liail had burned r.dward awtell's ... . house on aquma Lay the fatur - day night before, nut that the set tlers l;atl fortified in anticipation of I an attack. The information came by Mf. 0. Carlisle, Who was on his way to tfce. Governor with a peti tion for assistance !'lic Btilfetfn has information which leads it to the belief that the burning of .'aw tell's house was simply an act of private revenge, and dues not sig nify a general outbreak. It has bee i intimated, however, since the .Vodoc trouble k'gan, that a gen eral outbreak among the Indians of the coast was intended. 7his, to gether with the faet that the A'iletz Indians have been for sometime en- gaged in dances which their proph ets have made them believe would restore to life again the bodies of deceased warriors, who would lead them to victory against the whites, would render the present apprehen- t i .i i i .i . i i ieu ouioreaK noiu rational ami plausible. It is perfectly natural that the settlers should be excited under the circumstances, and it w.dild be nothing more than an ex ercise of common prudence for the Governor to take precautionary measures. Napoleon iv. I It. niind taimpwli.it. strano-n to i American ears to hear the son of ex-Kmperor Louis Napoleon, who died unpossessed of a throne or a people to rule over, an exile on a foreign shore, spoken of as Napoleon IV. This we presume may be re garded as consistent, with the theory of the existence of the kingly office. It is claimed that the office never dies. 3"hc royal occupant may be disp'aced from the throne in person; may be banished and die, as in the casewf Napoleon III; but the office never sickfiis, never dies, never diminishes. The imjierial mantle rests at once on, the next in succes sion of the royal line. So, by this theory, if Napoleon Til was the l'icrlitfnl rami.irnh so ton is aool ... . , . . . I eon IV. But we Americans do not accept any such refined nonsense. With us the divine right is in the people. If Kings are noble, so are i e w .ii? .i it the I pper 1 acme ; that they nnm we. We all belong to the noble , ' J . , , ber 6,000. house of Liberty, and our sons and . . , daughters are prince and princess The (State election in New Hamp- royal of the blood. shire will transpire soon. The Re The StdtMiiMii of the 12th h as the following complimentary notice on our Militia General: "Brig. Gen. Martin Van Buren Brown, com manding the 2d Brigade Oregon Volunteer Militia, was in town yes terday, but more particularly the night before. The General was in his usual martial bearing, with per haps a touch more of the stern war- spirit in his countenance than was! to lie seen there before the outbreak j of the Modoc war. He is under i the impression, however, that it will not be iieoessary for him to go out to the lava beds in person. We trust that the Governor will spare him." We need about 17,000,000 more sheep in this country to supply the home demand for wool. The Modoc.
