Wht gcitwttai FltlDAY.. MAY 2, lst3. aircrf ADO about xonixa . The BitHetui publishes a statement as to the want of Supplies in the vol unteer service last winter in the expe dition started at Jacksonville for the relief of settlers in Klamath Lake Basin, signed by several of the volun teers. That expedition was gotten up of a sudden, and wa necessarily sent out with incomplete supplies, no doubt. They went to save the bal ance of the settlers aud to bury the dead. The regular troops could not tnoye as rapidly, and the work of the volunteers was to give immediate re lief. Had they stopped to be as fully supplied and equipped as regulars, their services would not at that time have been needed. The charges in this paper, published by the Btllletin, are . ail leveled against Assistant Quartermaster General Q. A. Brooks, whom the editor of the Bulletin pro nounces a very incompetent mau. But the editor of that paper must be informed that at the fitting out of the Jacksonville company, Major Brooks, was not iu office; he was, however, as a clerk, and did what he could to help others, as we learn. What are the charges? They are that the horses did not have water ; that the men did not have tents and canteens ; that they did not have sufficient vege tables aud others provisions; that they went iuto the lava beds without ra tions and water; that the horses had no large amount of oats; that the men had not blankets enough. Now, it looks to us that there is something loose in parading this pa pr before the public at this time, and something loose in the complaints here made. Major Brooks may not be the best man iu tho world, but what had he to do with most ot these com plaints? Could he lead the horses to water he being at Jacksonville, a hundred miles away ? Could he buy commissary stores he being a Quar termaster's clerk ? Could he order the men not to go into the fight with out rations? Let us look at this matter a little. The Jacksonville company was mus tered on a sudden emergency, to save ths lives of their neighbors. They could not in the nature of things have everything needed; they went for thirty dsys only, but were detained sixty days, because the regulars want ed their help to fight the battle of the 17th of January. And rignt here let us say, that battle was well fought, as far as it was possible to go at that time, and has not been equalled under equal circumstances since. The vol unteers being a hundred miles from their base of supplies, and remaining sixty Jays, on a sudden and insuffi cient outht intended only for thirty da'4 is a sufficient answer to most of these complaints. But be it said to the honor of these brave men, that in the winter, and scant of supplies of all kind, they remained thirty days be yond the time of their enlistment, out side of their own State, tepon their oven vole! With all these privations, they voted to stay, when their time was out, and when there was an or der from the Governor, as we learn, for their return home, as soon as the regulars took the field. Whatever suffering there was from insufficient outfit is to be regretted, and placed to the credit and honor of the volunteers who went through this severe trial. The emergency was wholly unexpected and took every body by surprise. But our volunteer services heretofore have not been con- ducted with the same -outfit as regu lars have. The men generally in this expedition had plenty of bread and fresh beef and the horses plenty of bay.. We understand there was one stove furnished for a tent for the sick. We do not believe that the volunteers who signed this paper intended it to be understood by their mention of -this stove that an outfit for a hurried expedition like this should be loaded down alid hampered with, parlor stoves ! . ' . If there are any inequalities in any accounts, of course they will be here after adjusted. A Spikitual Specclatiost. Far mers are generally very material and conservative in their views. They do not take to new ideas and notions. Farmer John Mitchell, of Paradise Valley, California, is an exception to the rule. He owns 30,000 acres of the best land in the State. He is also, in that respect, an exception to the majority of farmers. This resident of Paradise believes in spirits not alco holic, but elherial. Under their influ ence and advice he holds 3,000 tons of last year's crop of wheat, and has pur chased 3,000 more at an advance of two cents, making 6,QQ0 tons. His iaith is strong, and if. the rain should boid off much longer the result is likely to prove that his confidence was not misplaced. :, On the contrary, wit h one more good shower, the spir itual expectations of Farmer Mitchell, for an advance of two cents for his C,000 tous ot wheat, would vanish 'like the baseless fabric of a vision" into thin air. - ; That generally comprehensive pa per, tho St. (Louis Republican, is diving too deep into the conundrum business for our obtnse miud. It now asks: "Who made Ben. Butkr." We give it up. DfiATU OV JUDGE TIIAYEO. Hon. A. J. Thayer, Circuit Judge of' the Second Judicial District and. A-;' soclate Justice of the Supremo Court of Oregon, diod at his residence in Corvallis,' last Saturday, of typhoid foyer, after a wasting illness of many weeks' duration., JJo was aged oi years and fivo months. Andkkw J. Thaykk was born at Lima, Livingstou county, in the State of New York, Nov. 27, 1318 ; acquired his tcliool education at what wa.1 then known as the Genesee Wesleyau Sem inary, which was afterwards known as the Western University ; read law at Warsaw, Wyoming county, N Y., Jn the office of Jas. R. Doolittle, now of Wiscousiu, and L. H". Taayer, who then constituted the firm of Doolittlo & Thayer. The junior member of this firm was cousin of the deceased, io was married at Warsaw, N. Y., Oct. 9, 1S42, to Jelissa D. Chandler, who Is left his widow ; lu the year 1S50 he was admitted to the Bur of the Supreme Court of the State of New York ; en- gaged in the practice of his profession at Buffalo, where he coutluued until the spring of 1353, when he emigrated to Oregon, arriving here In the full of that year, and settliug upon the laud claim owned and occupied by him at the time of his death. In 1S59 he was appointed by Presi dent Buchanan U. S. District Attorney for the District of Oregou, being the first appointee to that ofllce, now held by Gov. Gibbs. After holding the of fice for six moiithslhe tendered his res ignation, which was accepted. In 1SU0 a question arose among the electors of Oregon as to the proper time for hold ing the Congressional election one party claiming it should be held in June, and another that no time had been provided by law and that Novem ber, the time of holding the Presiden tial election, was the proper time. Mr. Thayer having been selected as the candidate for the adherents for the election in November instead of June, was elected as Representative for Ore gon to the 37th Congress; was admit ted to a seat in the extra session of that body, held in July, 1361, which he held uutil near the close of that session, when the seat was awarded to his con testant, Cbl. Geo K. Shiel. InlMUhe mas elected District Attorney for the Second Judicial District of the State of Oregon, which he held for the term of j two years, aud in 1S7U he was elected ; t'eir own interests as to Tail to give in that district to the of.lce of Justice the opposition line of Teal, Goldsmith of the Supreme Court, whkh he wasjjfcCo. tho fullest encouragemeut ? holding at the time of hU death, his j Wo, jcavo tLe an8Wer with lho ,,t.ople. term having about half expired. Judge Thayer was cosmopolitan In character, being liberal in hi views, charitable in his instincU and warm in u is irienusuins. .a a uemocrat lie t . - I A T nnwni-riiif-in i.u iu,7ifj,.nt f iitii as a Judge he was conscientious in his decisions, as a citizen he was true to the people. Ha was an untiring work er, being one of those nicu who never let time absorb a minute of his life without seeking soin 3 advantage from its experiences. Iu his death the Su preme Bench has lost an able Justice, the legal profession a bright intellect, the country a devoted patriot, his par ty an earnest champion, his neighbors a valued citizen, and his family a de voted and tender guardian. His place in the world may be oecupiyl by an- other it can scarcely be filled. STIXi. COMING OOtV.W We are told that the IloIIaday line of , 1 11 1 . . . r river boats have reduced the price of transporting wheat from Albany to Portland to one -dollar per ton. Of course this material reduction (being only one-third the price asked by the opposition line) will enable wheat buy-j ers who ship by the IloIIaday line to offer five or six cents more on the bushel; and the grave question now comes up "Will the larmers sell to those patrons of the monopoly for the advantage of this slight present ad vance and thus assist in crushing out the opposition line of boats, and irre vocably forging the monopoly's chains upon them ?" This Is a momentous question, which we have no space to further present this week, but leave our producers to ponder upon it. The shrieking sisterhood of Penn sylvania has been claiming the right of suffrage on the ground that the Constitution of that State gives the right of citizenship to all freemen. This might have carried jov to the hearts of the strong-minded old girls in other states if the Supreme Court ot Pennsylvania bad not stepped in with a decision announcing that wo men are not freemen and therefore cannot vote. The Herald quotes Dr. Lindsley, of Portland, in his lecture on '"Sui cide," as saying : "In the words of an ancient sage, 'all that a man hath will he give for his life.' " If we are not misinformed the language impu ted to the "ancient sage" are the words of Satan, used in reference to Job and contained in the book of Job. This is the first time that we ever heard the Devil called an "ancient sage." '' An Alabama paper suggests to the Legislature of that ' State that when the first bill relating to railroads. is called up, some member ought to rise to a point of order, and ask that every member who has a free ticket on any railroad in his possession "should be requested to walk up tot the clerk and surrender the same, td be by him returned to the company issuing it. - - Adhesios- to the occupant of thel White House is all potential in wash- iug gu mo naius oi reueuion in luese uays. j.l is now an aunmieu .iact at Washington that Mosby, the rguer rilla, is dictating appointments" 'for Federal officers in Virginia. He vot ed for Grant last fall and that is his passport to influence. ' , V 3 T. 3 ..If . Hon Fred." . Waymire, of Polk county, last Monday night fell dead of apoplexy atthe residence of vTbos. Cox, in Salem., OVB ANSWER TO UlTKCUER." The poem of .Sum. Simpson, to be found on our first pagfe, is a wither ing rebuke to the maudlin sentimen tality of the canting Beechers and Atninadab Sleeks who pray for the "persecuted Indians'' and denounce tU pioneers as barbarous Indian op pressors. Wo are glad, however, that the Government has at last imbibed some of tho spirit portrayed in Mr. SimpBon's stirring verses, and has re solved to pursue a vigorous war poli cy towards the Modoo assassins. For years tho peace policy has been main tained at tho expense of the lives of the settlers on the frontier. Men, women and children have beon mur dered without arousing lite govern ment to a determination to protect its citizens. Theso lives were just as pre cious as Gen. Canby's, but did not strike home to the nation as did his. Let our government do its duty and listen no longer to the whining, hypocritical cant of theso eastern philanthropists, who, knowing uothiug of Indiaus, assume tho position of dictators in Iudian af fairs. The Indians are not a class who appreciate kinduess. They un derstand force, and respect it, aud when they understand that for every act of violence they commit a Bovere penally will be exacted, they will bo on their good behavior. THIS VALIU OK OPPONITION. Here is an iostanco which illustrates the value ot opposition. Tho rail road company charges -I cents per bushel for carrying wheat from Eu genu to Portland ; but from Harris burg, fifteen miles this side, tho chargo is ouly 9 cents per bushel. x he opposition boat can ruu to Har risburg, but can't get up to Eugene. We rather guess if tho people of Line county had tho opportunity of keep- iug up an opposition line that the citi zens ot L'uiu, Benton aud Marion have, they would readily and glad ly seize tho opportunity. Iu tho face of these facts can any of our citi zens be so criminally neglectful ot js San Fraucisco the Kenublican party is up to the average standard if a ! we are to believe tho thrvtude, a Heading party organ. This is the shape tho party is ruuning in at prcs- ent, according to that journal : Tho Republican party iu San Fran cisco, cud to a less degree throughout the State, is under a most disgraceful leadership. We shall not follow that leadership. We have seen, upon one occasion, disastrous consequences re sulting to that party. W hen a cor rupt village politician, by all the meaner appliaut-es of party machinery, set in motion by ward loafers, stole a State Convention and caused himself to be nominated for Governor, the good men of the party rebelled against the conspiracy, and, from a majority ot i!,tOO, the Republican party was beatep lU.UUO. Since then party rules nave relaxed, party obligations have . . . 1 J . lust their force, and the same leader ship, supported by the same ragged rank and file, the same email country journals, the same corrupt Court House politicians, will bring that party to the same unfortunate end. Gkant has not only incurred the wrath of the Civil Service Commis sion by his disregard of its rules in his recent appointments, but has call ed down upon his head the indigna tion of many of his lato zealous partisans. Tiie following dicpatch to the Chic3f o Tribune of Friday tells of the defection of another leading supporter of the second aud third term policy : . The Baltimore American, the lead ing administration organ in Maryland, comes out this morning with an at tack on the President, charging him with the abondonment of the civil service reform rules. The animus of the article is caused by the removal of all the American,llepublicans from office. The new collector of Balti more, who entered on his duties on yesterdav, made a clean sweep of all the employes of his office and ap pointed their 6uccesors in utter disre gard of the civil service rules. TnE Bulletin is making a contempt ible fight on Gov. Grover in tho fear that he will be a candidate for re election next year. It is beginning thus early because it realizes the stu pendous task which lies before it in case our popular Executive should consent to again appear before the people for their suffrages. Meantime, His Excellency attends quietly and carefully to his official labors and is affected about as much by the Bul letin diatribes as he would be by any other tumble bug which should at tempt to attract his attention by roll ing its ball across his path. V,. A dispatch from New York dated last Saturday, says : "The purchasing committee of , the Board of Indian Commisioners have contracted for 1,553 dozen butcher knives and 120 dozen skinning knives, among other We suppose the Government will al- 80 furnish the poor Indians with a full Isupply of Peace Commissioners upon Hwnom to try their new knives I - '' Cube ok Epizootic In view of the fact that the epizootic bas already penetrated Oregon and is slowly ap proaching this immediate section of the country, we give tho following cure f or it, said to , be the most effect ive remedy : Chlorate of Potash a solution of one teaspoonful in a pair of waterr .

The Walla Wallaians are standing on their heads (the male portion ot them only!) with excitement about .new tin mines. Ox teams are the gay turnouts in 'Frisco now. They are not quite so fast as horses, but they dou't have the epizootics. The Umatilla Indians sell ponies in Walla Walla at f 3 a piece. The man who attempts to ride 'em most generally dies young.

Two little girls were crossing a stream on a foot log in Polk county, last week, when one of them fell into the water aud came near being drowned, but was bravely rescued by her playmate. A party of horse buyers who trav eled over Douglas county, have sud denly taken a trip to parts unknown for the health of the horses, and now the farmers are inquiring for their postoflice address. A. A. Williams, late Chief Engin eer of Portlaud Fire Department, last Friday suicided by blowing bis brains out with a pistol. Financial embar rassments is said to have been the causo of the rash a:t. The Puritan, the largest ship that will ever have crossed the Columbia Bar, will shortly arrive at Astoria from 'Frisco. She is to take a cargo of 10,000 barrels of flour to China, from tho Salem mills. Two horses disappeared from farm in Umatilla county on the same night that a couple of strangers pass ed through the neighborhood last week. The owner of the horses is anxious to interview those strangers Miss Ruth Glover arrived at La Grande from England last week, to marry Mr. Arthur Hemaning whom she bad never Been, and only knew by correspondence. Ruth is surely anxious to embark in the Hemaning business. The San Francisco Chronicle says "Mrs. Kimball, the free-lover, chal lenged II. C. Bennett to a discussion on the subject of free-love, either in public or in private. Mr. Bennett accepted for a public wrangle. We think be made a mistake." Capt.

The probability is that the Modocs are badly demoralized, and a large number of their warriors slain. squaw says Sconchin and six others were killed in the first day's battle Hooka Jim was shot through the bide, and Bogus Charley through the calf of the. leg. Two little boys, while playing in the suburbs of La Grande, last week were interviewed by a black bear who suddenly stepped out from thicket hard by.

As in ancient days Rome was saved from ber enemies by the cackling of geeso, says the Herald, so the city of Clarinda was recently saved from destruction, by the timely warning of a young gentlemen who put bis head out of the upper story window to vomit, and saw the , flames just starting.

No Indians having been seen during the past two days, Gen. Gilleni eent out a recoouoitering party on the 2Gth, con sisting of Co. K, 12th Iuiautry, under command of Col. Wright ; batteries K and A, 4th Artillery, under com mand of Maj. Thomas. About 11 A. M. they reached Gravel Mound, 3 miles south of the old stronghold, where thev received a volley from a ledge of rocks. The fire was return ed by the men and they then retreat ed and rallied by troops. The Indi ans ran round the bluff and came in front, and opened fire upon A and K Batteries, 4th Artillery. The Iufaut ry Company was then ordered to fall back, but failed to halt, and left their position in a demoralized condition. The Company commander and h;s non-commissioned staff kept their po sition, but the men kept up their re treat. After tho troops fell back the Mo docs came out and took up the posi tion that was to have been held by our troops, thus surrounding those left. At this time the Warm Spring Indians came np hi rear ot the Modocs and held them down to the rocks for a while until they shifted about and gained a position that made the small cover of Major Thomas and the other officers worthless, and here they done the fatal work of the day.; From this point they succeeded in killing Major Thomas, Lieut. Howe, Sergeant Reamer, and two privates and wound ed Assistant Surgeon S. Ewfcig. During this time Col. Wright and the men who stayed with him were 6lain as fast as they showed their heads above the rocks. .Wright was shot in the right breast, five of his men were shot dead and two wounded. - The troops in camp were under arms by this time and orders were given the Warm Spring Indians to move at once to the scene of action. Col. Mason was ordered to have all his troops start immediately. Troops K, H and F had already started from this side, but the ground was so rough that the troops did not reach the battle ground till night, and they ! could do nothing but lay upon their arms. About midnight 3 wounded men came in and reported all clear in front and all killed or wounded save three or four privates. The troops were again aroused and an advance made for -a short distance, and they then rested for the night. At daylight Major Green sent out a party of skirmishers who found packer Louis Webber's body and 2 soldiers. Another party found in a sage brush thicket Major Thomas, Lieut. Howe, Surgeon Ewing, 3 ser geants and i privates, all killed or wounded. Col.' Wright and men were found upon the extreme left. Lieut. Cranston and 5 men are still missing supposed to be killed. Following is a list of killed and wounded, so far as can be ascertained at present : Killed Major Thoma, Lieut. Howe, Col. Wright, Sergeant Itcamer, 10 privates and citizen packer Louis Webber. Wounded Assist ant Surgeon S. Ewing, Lieut. Harric, and 19 privates. Missing Lieut. Crauston and five privates. Out of C5 men that went out, 45 are killed, wounded and missing.

The Indians of Fort Tulley are those who crossed the line to the number of fceven or eight thousand, and threaten the in terior settlements an Manitoba. A. W. Smith, of Springfield, Mass., was last Saturday convicted of mur der iu the first degree for killing Chas. D. Sackett last full. Circumstances leading to the crime were as follows : Smith had an infatuate passion for Miss Jennie Bates of West field, and on meeting her while returning from the theater in company with Sackett, to whom she was betrothed, nrcd several shots from a pistol, wounding Miss Bates in three places and put ting a bullet through Sackelt's breast, from tho eS'ects of which lie died in a short time. The defense was that the murder was committed under a roo nomaniacal delusion. The following news was brought in Walla Walla by a person who got it from Mrs. Cock, who was informed by a friendly Indian, 1,400 warriors are camped at lute iIuus, putting np breastwork two ;ud a half miles ahead v finished.

From Mr. O'Neil, just down lrom Colville, we learn that the Spoksne Indians are very saucy aud. impudent. They are going around in bands of fifteen to twenty with war paint on, notifying the settlors to leave. Geary, who is an educated "cuss," had a no tice, written by himself, served on the settlers, telling them the land they were settled on was his' and he want ed them to go away. The settlers are greatly frightened, not knowing what the Indians may'do. Gov. Leslie of Kentucky has sent a message to the Legislature ot that State, in which he lays before that body the address of Gov.
