We have a repetition of the Modoc massacre in the recent outbreak ot the N-z I'eroi'Z and Salmon River In Ti ms, the result ot which, up to the present vime, U tho butchery of Irom sixty to one hundred white perttona. : It seems a strange infatuation has pos sessed the Federal authorities or an atter disregard lor th safety or thi lives and property of those who have lettled ou the borders of the Indian . jonntry. If experience i worth any ihing, it certainly has taught us the felly of treating Indians as we would intelligent white men, possessed of gratitude, humanity and regard lor tho rights of others. Fear is their ouly restraint. Human life, with hII lavage tribes is no more sacred than that of the animals which constitute their daily toad. War, with them, i the only path to honor, the over throw of their enemies their greatest triumph.and to accomplish this,treach ery, hypocrisy, and all the cunning ol lavage nature are deemed legitimate. Without provocation and without warning, to hurst upon a peaceful village, slaughter and pillage the in habitants without regard to age, sex or condition, instead of exciting hor ror and indignation, become a su't jeot of rejoining, snd the perpetrator aro regarded as havin j won ecpeoial merit. Justice is something they n i ther appreciate nor ooinprclien l ;'lui inanity, beyon 1 a regard for their pe ouliar tribe, pity and remorse are cino tioi's scarcely known or considered a tributis of women, and disgiaeel'ul to manhood; the policy of distributing an ouilltiisdeemed by them ss mere bribes to kef p the peace and as prompted by A craven spirit; hence, they are ready . on the slightest provoottion to inur dor and plunder a people who arc bo ready to purchase peace. We ar no advocate for extermina lion. We believe in . treating thorn with justioe and humanity but with a firm band. They must be made to understand that Hwift punishment fl tows such outbreaks, and that dona lions are made to relieve their ueces lities and not as a tribute t pureltasi their good will and forbearance. Their actual grievances should be redressed promptly and their cause lass discontent suppressed as with the authority of a master, m l not with the app arunce of inability or vinwillingncK to enforce our demniK It is time that public opinion in tone that enforce compliance s'lould de liand that our frontiersmen and their families be protected from butchery, and no longer sacrificed to a maudlin sentimentality that endues a creature, avage by instinct, and rendered still more an by habit and cin-uinstMices Well auited to develop hi savsgs na tare, with the qualities and emotion of civilised man.

Ed, Guahd I am no politician, but su'ing the shameful means by which the Republican pany is trying to hold its BtrengtD in this and other Western Stales, I am disposed to mention a few tacts relative to the condition of affairs South, etc In 18G5, when,lhe proclamation of peace was heard throughout the length and breadth of the land, the people of the seceded Slates thought they were to have scoured to thouselves the rights of person ami property. Alas 1 how sadly mistaken, War with all oi its honors, its garments rolled in blood, the lamentations ot its orphans, the shrieks tf its willows, was better, oh 1 a thousand times belter than the peace whbh followed it. An ignonnt and heat hen race was given the right of suffrage; constitutions were over thrown; law abiding citiztns were drugged into prison; corrupt and tin pr neiple men from every clime ru.-hed in to plunder and steal the hard earn ings ot the people ; Governors sold themselves nt prices that would have shamed s negro in times of lmmliire; lodges were accessory to the most glaring crimes; jurors were bought and sold like herds of sheep and ent ile; and the whole land was filled with men convicted of the most dar ing (ran Is ever recorded in histoiy. For leu long years this state ot things existed ; when the negroes had done their worst, and the star of hope had si'inoni set, redemption cnme. .The nui ky cloud that overspread our po litical sky so long has vanished, ami io-dv the local self-government of Louisiana, South Car lina, snd the ther Souths Slates, are recognized by the General Government. Hie cause that, produced this wonderful change and reior.'nalion are known to all who are willing" to investigate the matter. It is a set known to every student of American history that so long as the National aiT.tir remained n th.' hands of the Democratic party, peace and prosperity reignoa supreme. lint just ss soon ss a change of ad ministration took place bml min rode into power. A the Government p isses back i::lo the hand of Democ racy, we again note ihe happy renults. States are atiin restored to tljctr former positions; thi"ving politician' are driven from 'nftW, and the posis of honor are filled by honest and capa ble men. Hlaine, Conkling, Morton and other corrupt and unscrupulous men (idled in carrying out their deep ly cononcted plans, and the Southern States have shaken oil the tetters, that so long bound them to the emit. Mr. Til len's unn iihori.ed agent is carrying out the priueiples laid down in the Democratic platform nuie.li bet ter than the usurper, or any body else anticipated. No more will the South eru people listen In the bonied phrases that have so often ensnared the uu Mispeeting. The old adage that a "drowning man will catch at a si raw," is as true lo day ss when first uttered The talk of lessui reeling the oid Whig party is just like ihe IVter Cooper move all bosh.- Tlie Demo uratie parly has li t 1 1 i;criciioc enough to lean them the risullot every sueli action taken by the Republican parly. Vol much will they lute this time. The Republicans have been making promi es and contracts ever since their first oig.tuization, and t the knowledge of every thinking man, they have been breaking them the whole time. Their fidelity is known to ull. Too often hus the poor, help less negro Imtii delu led by the prom ises ot a mule and tony acres ot land. Though ignor nt and miperstitions, lu ll as learned lo know his Iriend and iiis toe. lie has learm-d to know that Democracy in. uns good i;oveiiimcol and a due regard for every citizen, whether while or black. Why tho negro will vote a his oi m-r mssti r does, is s (piertiun that has troubled the Republican olliee seeker. The reason is obvious. He has learned thai his old master is his best trimd, ud his Republican ovi-reci is bis nost hitler vncmy. ' l'lessiog words and lair prom.ses Ironi the carpet bag ger have become "sonnding brass mid a tinkling cymbal" to the dsiky. Now because President Ilayes has been carrying out lhpolicy of Sam uel J. Tihlen, such men as Wade, llipple-Miichcll, lllaiue it Co., are op posing him. And, Mr. E liur, as we have mi-utionod thai compound name, II. M., I will herj state thai it is sur prising that the Republican journals in Oregon are so inconsistent. In one column ther bitterly di-nounee .Monu oiiisiu and in another they say that Hippie Mitchell ouhi to I e re elected lo iho'U S. Senate. Con sistency is a jewel." The people are greatly mistaken when they think that the Southern States will change their iHtlitics during the next three years. Ol Isle, R -publican alraUgeiua have bat tailed to win.

On Friday evening ut 8 o'clock a military force of l'HJ trisiM, -i) friendly Indians and several citizens le t the l.upwai garrison under command of Col. Perry for Mount Idaho. It is reported that I apt James linker, Samuel Benedict, wife and four children, ilury Mason, tloiiry Klirez and t le Warrens exprcssm m had been killed on huhnon liiver.

After the arrival of CoL l'erry a dispatch came to the eduut that he arrived ut Mount Idaho on Saturday morning and found the reports of killed true; that the Indians had gone to .Saiiu m liiver; that the troops were iu pursuit of them iu hopes of overtaking them at the cros.jin,'. An In ban runner hron flit news to the A 'eiiev tti.ifc it had been ascertained that -it whites had been kilkd ho far as known ; that the whites had kille I White Bird, the chief of his band, un I his family.. Tl e troops with 1."U men from Mount Idaho encountered the Indiana at the head ol Vliile Bird Canyon ; troops dismounted and left a few soldiers and the twenty friendly Indians to bold their horses. The Indians opened the lire usni the troops and fi Jitiiu was continued for stun 'J time. 'Ihe friendly Indians liecame alarmed, and the sol.li. rs guarding the horses could see that the In lians were getting the best of the fi'ht and the sol tiers retreating. The citizens' captain, Sars'eant l.ytle, and one soldier wa known to lie kiKud, and tlie whole horse guard of In liana and wldt -s broke ami ran, some for Mount I hihu and some for Lap wai, iVaviif,' the horses to run loos over till prairie.
