EARLY OHECGH HISTORY.
THE IMIMX UAH OF If.l.
Editor DemoertU:
In Juno 1851 I staitftl with a Kiiiall
wrty ot young men, inauo tip hi nu
nonr Oirgon City, ull aiming for t"0
Kol4 mines ia California, nt or iieur
Vrt)kn, liPro I lmcl for a timo teen
milling. Wo oirulo our outfit and c;t
out on tlio 1 "tli, ami liml rmch day tlo
iHital plunsant dny'a riJo and at iiiglit a
plfiwitnt citmp, with plenty of grass lor j
our ponicH, and good upring or braticli
water t drink and plenty to eat. .Our
trip wns pleitsitnt, and nothing occurrud
to distill b cur journey until we arrived
t Kogna Itiver. Tliero wo learned j
tlmt Mtj'r Keni ney, of llo U. 8. Ar
my, who lmd pusc.0tii.nl uu autuo days tin
hw way to Californiu (and who .had
employed that splendid ently pioneer, J
Jetwo Applegnte, to pilot him through J
new route to tho lloguo lliver Val
ley), Imd Imd a sharp fight with tho
hostilt! Indians nf that vulley,who hard
ly' ft'Uwvd uny whites to pan through
their cotiutry without giving theni all
tho trouble and doing tbutn all the harm
they could; and that I.t. Stewart had
been killed (I was acquainted with I.t.
Stewart and esteemed him for Lis cour-
ge and good conduct upon m.my bat
tle fields in Mexico). It was near dark
when we heard of tho fight, and here I
had intended to eamp, but tho news
changed my plan, and we hurried for.
ward in, the direction where we buj-
jiotied Kearney would bo in camp. Our
party were very tired, and we Imkod
after making distance of twelve mile
fter dark; wo placed out a Rftitinel to
be'relieved at projx r tim?, and lrjt
until daybreak; then we mounted and
very soon reached Kearney's camp ;
found Lim ttp and preparing for a for
ward movement in search of the Indi-
ns, who had taken the mountains to
avoid another fi"ht widj a man they
found could not be triflml with. On
riding up the Major etepjd forward,
txik me kindly by the hand and asked
me to dismount and take breakfiuit with
Lira. "And you will," Lo Raid, J'go
with mo and aid iu huntiuz out aud
punishing these bad Indians. They
iave killed our brave fitowart,and they
must bo punished." "Very we'd, Sla.
jor," said I, ''we will act us your
scouts; I uiade acquaintance with these
ndiant last summer, and I think we
can find them. We are cood t track
ing, and you see they have taken all
their women and children with them
and will have to make something of a
trail. My opinion i we can find them
before nightfall; for however much tbey
may travel on the Lilts and mountains,
jjht Approaches they will come
down and camp on some one of the
niitny creeks or branches, and wo will
bo w ith them before they get to sleep."
The Indians, as we knew, crossed the
river and were makinz for tho moun-
Uins lying north end in the direction
of the South UmjHput. All ready, the
buglo called to mount; then forward,
and we went down lloguo liiver to a
ford some miles below my party in
front here in this wild, unsettled, sav
age country. As I roue along I looked
back upon tho squadron led by Kear
ney with pride and feelings that a man
seldom experiences in a lifetime, and
although now very old I still feel the
thrill that I experienced upon that oc
crsion. Moving along in Cue order
and in plain view was as brnvo a squad
ron of mounted men as Las ever been
mustered into the service of the United
States. They Lad distinguished them
selves in every battlo ou Scott's line,
from Vera Cruz to tbe taking of the
city of Mexico, led by Major Kearney
as brave a man as ever drew sabre, and
who had lost an arm at one of the gatei
of the city while leading a charge upon
a body of Lancers, that bravely made
their escape under the enemies' guns.
This bravo and fearless man, Gen. Phil.
Kearney, fell at the 2nd battle of Bull
Run, on tho 29th day of September,
1862, on the same day and at tho same
time that our gallant and beloved Isaac
I. Stevens foil. Two braver men never
fell on any battle-field!
Well, we moved on down the river
for some miles, and finding a ford cross
ed to the other side. Hero you must
allow me to relate an incident which
resulted to our advantage, so far as
lunch is concerned, and that, too, with
out detaining the command. Among
our scouts were two of the Eaily's, of
Lane county. J ust before reaching the
ford (which was quite deep, almost
swimming) we saw in the brush not far
distant a saall deer, standing quito
still; the younger Baily, who was not
quite seven feet high, jumped off his
horse and with Lis rifleto his shoulder
leaned forward, fired, and down came
the deer. It was thrown on a horse
and the march resumed before tho com
mand reached us, "Well, Baily' hurried
forward, with two or three other scouts
following, and by the time the com'
mand had crossed the river had the
deer dressed, cut up and roasted. Each
scout Lad a chunk of boiled venison
in Lis hand and led off without detain
ing tho command. Wo ptonued (or-
ward ahead of the command in order to
make sure of tho trail and very soon
found the fresh trail and followed it ut
a blink trot. Very soon, on turning a
sharp point on Evans Creek, we came
in sight of four or five Indians, who
had evidently been left behind to watch
and detain the command should they
attempt to follow the trail. The mo-
inert we saw them the scout were or-
dered to charge, and off they went jell-
moll in pursuit. The Indians scatter-

fcvart, and who carried a double-barreled

huh and fshot Lim in tho back. .Thefcl-

.ad ridden up, saw Low the Indian was
shot, aud ordered the pursuit of the
otlier who were scattered in the brush
on the mountain side, and off they
docked. But tho brush was thick, the
mountains steep, and consequently the
remainder of the small party of Indians
made their escai. Kearney, having
heard tho firing, now dashed up to join
in tho fight, if a fight was to be had.
Tbere stood the wounded Indhm, reel-
ing to and fro, just ready to fU ; but
such U their tenacity for life and re-
venge that they will live under almost
any circumstances, and such is their
thirst for blood that nothing but a shot
through the brain will kill them out-
ht. One of the soldiers aked mr-
raiattion to dismount ami give the or
devil, as Lo called Lira, a drink of wa-
ter; the Indian straightened up as the
soldier approached him, no doubt bo-
ievir.g the time for revenge Lad come, I
and when tho aoltier hod approacLed I
near enough to enable Lim to strike,
quick as thought he jerke'j a sharp uiric I
knife from under Lis Lull, and, with all
the force cf a last effort fir rpvenge,
su tick at the soldier, and but for the j
quick backward movement of the latter I
he would have len cut open from Lis I
breast to Lis Lip; as it was Lis cloth-
ing was cut down some six or eight j march, pi boners and all, squaws pack
inches and the skin cut throughout not ing their childten and some small ones
enough to do any serious Latin. TLe 1
I n.lUn fell forward on Lis fe and I
ialf a dozen pistol balls pawa-d through 1
!iis head. '
Tho scouts being now recalled by the
bugle, the march was resumed, and'late
in" the afternoon my little iorty of
of scout came ujon the main body of
Indian, where they were making camp.
Kearney was well up and the scout
were ordored to charge. As usual the
yell was raised and forward dashed the
little party. The Indiana had selected
their eamp on tho banks of a small
sttcam Uiat ran through a very narrow
valley between two steep and high
mountains. The warriors took up the
mountains.too steep for horses, and up
they went amidst constant bring and
yells, firing back occasionally. Kcar-
ney's squadron dismounted and under -
took to pursue on foot, but this was im-
racticable. We took thirty-seven pris -
oners, mostly squaws and young people.
Many squaws, with their papooses lash-
ed to their backs, were permitted to es-
capo. Night coming on, tho dismount-
ed squadron wero recalled and with our
prisoners we moved down the creek
some four hundred yards, where we
camped for the night. Strict discipline
was maintained; sentinels posted; the them off my hands." "Very well, Ma

Among the prisoners was the wife of about rations for them ' He promptly
old chief Joe, to whom I had at his re-
quest one year before given the name
of Sallie, and at the same time and also
at hi reouest cava Lim the name of
Joe. By these names were they known
while living and by these names will be
known in history for many years to
come. Sallie was the mother of old
chief Joo's only children, to-wit: Prin-
cess Mary and the young chiefBen,
whom lo T bad named bv th wish of
old Joe. During the nicht old Joe and
many others of his tribe came to the top
of the mountain overlooking our camp,
called to their squaws and children to
let tnem know who was in command
the troops and what he was going to do
with their women and children, Sallie
turned to me and asked what answer
make. I told her that the big "Tye"
was Kearney, a new man in this coun- making every demonstration of thanks
try, and that he was "Lias sulax," and to him, and continued to sing and re
all the chiefs and warriors had better joice. Finally, I told them to stop and
come in and make peace, otherwise he sleep that now we had arranged to

I then opened a talk with Joo, and told
him that I was no longer a "Tye," but
onlv a "tenaa" man. and could do noth-
ing for him or the prisoners that
must come and bring his people with
Lim and make peace with the big sol
dier "Tye." But he said he could not

did not believe that Kearney would take

parties of whites would have trouble in

it could not bo done. . War and rumors
of war would be the result. However,
early the next morning, after full con-
saltation, we agreed that the Indians,
frightened and scattered as they were,

Kearney the next day aet out with .all
LU prisoners, notwithstanding my ear-
uest remonstrance, telling Lim that we
could Lave nolpeaoe with the Indians
until the prisoners were returned. His
plan was to take them to Alcatras, and
then send up Commissioners and bring
tLe chiefs to terms with a lasting peace,
and then bring the prisoners and de-
liver them to their people. "And in
the meantime," said I, "every white
man tLat undertakes to pass through
this country will bo killed." "Well,"
said Le, " I am determined to take
them," and at once took up tho line of
walking, all more or less foot-sore from

that by the time Kearney would reach

they would in three weeks all have been
dead if you had not come to take them
back. General, I thank you. Come
be to. my tent and take a parting drink
This I did with pleasure, and left for
- the camp of our little party. A few
besides my son Joseph wished to re-
turn. The balance went to work dig
ging and washing out gold. I found
few miners ready to return to their
homes and made ready to travel with
us, knowing that we would be safe in
passing the Indian country. Every
thing being ready by nine in tbe morn
ing, I rode over to Kearney's tent and
found he had rations issued, packed on
mo muies ready to go. me prisoners
were directed to move off on the road
that led to their homes.' After a short
conversation I took leave for the last
time of the brave and high-souled Kear
ney. He fell in his country's cause.
May heaven rest his soul in peace! -
I soon joined our party, and with
our worn out and lame prisoners made
slow and easy marches. After being
several days longer on the road than
we would have been had not the priso
ners been so sore and lame, we arrived
at Rocky Point, on Rogue river, where
sr communicated with the Indians and
let them know of the return of the
prisoners. Not far from this we met
Cen. Gaines, Governor of this then Ter
ritory, who, on hearing of Kearney's
war, bad raised some men and come to
render aid. The prisoners were turned
over to him, the chiefs and warriors
were called together, peace was made
and the prisoners delivered to their
people.

The following circular has been is
sued from the State House by the Board
of School Land Commissioners. Tbe
impression has been given out that the'
parties who have purchased school land
wero compelled to go to the local agent
of the Board and have a certificate is
sued that they are the owners of the
land. This we are informed U not the
case. Where parties live near the Cap
itol it is advisable for them to apply to
the Board in person, when they will be
informed what steps are neceswtry to go
to the County Clerk and have him issuo
a certificate that the title is vested in
the person named, when a new deed
will be issued, without any eipense to
the owner. We would advise all who
have heretofore purchased land from
the State to examine their title and if
it ia defective secure a new deed imme
diately. The circular read as follows :
Sir: Having been informed that
yon are depending upon an old deed
from a County School Superintendent
to certain School lands, ot which yon
are now in possession, it is deemed ad
visable in order to protect your inter
est of the State, to call your attention
to the fact that the Board regards all
said Superintendent's deeds as made
and that without the power to convey a
title to such lands, as the Territory nev-
. , anr title ' tber M'
y "reserved" (not granted) by the
United States by tbe organic act, (see
act 9 TJ. 8. Statutes at Large, p. 323,
act a u. o. tstasuics at ij
?tifn 20) and M granted " to
b the act of admission (see i
gf statutes at Large, p. 383, i
w uie ousu?
act in TJ.
section 4)
and by the same act our State Consti-
tution became onr fundamental law,
which piohibiu the sale of such lands,

Hence, as far as practicable, to pro
tect persons who purchased from such
Snrerintendenta, as also tbe assignees
assigns, confirmatory deeds for all sach
lands so purchased and paid for, in all
cases wherein the State still holds the
title at the time of such application
and showing.
As the State has no record of such
Superintendent's deeds, the lands inclu

of such application and showing to be

If you know of any of your neigh

confer a favor en them by calling their
attention to the matter and allowing
them this letter, which is applicable to
all similar cases arising in your county
as well as yonr own.
