The governor has made call for 300 volun teers to report to him, and sent cour ier last evening to Pendleton to get news of what happened alter he lelt this morning. Courier returned at 5 o'clock a. m., having rodo 75 miles during tho night The governor's proclamation in substance rwcites the condition of affairs; says that all friend- y Indians will go to the hostiles when ever they find they can bo successful against the whites; that all friendly Indians with few excep.ions are the midnight allies of the hosliles and aid them in removing stolen stock and plunder; that their promises and pledges of friendship cannot be relied on. i her nave misled settlers anil soldiers and hare acted an spies and scouts for tho hostilcs. lie further cautions volunteers against doing any act not justified by customs governing modern warfare, lue men will all be raised in Eastern Oregon.

Men and horses gone. Road danger ous. Walla Walla, July 14. Yesterday (Saturdav) was the most exciting day Walla Walla has ever seen. On Friday afternoon a por tion of the cavalry command under Col. Bernard, consisting of five com panies, reached here, and these ad ded to the countless number of refu gees who have been flocking in here for the past two weeks, had the effect of intensifying an exciteirent ti.at tor pome time past had been almost at fever heat. All rnday night the tread of armod' men resounded throughout the city, and before morn ing, through the agency of a boun tiful supply ol whisky, tho boys and the boys in blue became bloodthirsty, and not finding any Indians on hand, commenced, after the style of the Siberian wolf, and devoured one an other. Tho interposition of the po- lico saved much ammunition,' and as a consequence the casualties wero of trifling character, tho injuries consist ing principally of bloody nose and black eyes. Alter passing sucn a night it can be readily imagined that the public mind was in a condition to receive and accept as true the wildest of rumors. Al out 10 o'clock on Saturday a man Dreamless ana coeren wuu lust, arrived in the city from eston bringing tho intelligence that the troops were engaging the Indians at apoiut near the reservation bniiuingi, an 1 tho sound of the guns, supposed to be howitzers, could be distinctly heard at Weston, llns report al though vouched for by a reliable oentleman was not generally bcliev ed. not at least by the knowing ones, . . i . i , ? i- i.i... who baa been reuauiy lniormeu uiai the Indians, after the engagement ol Monday last, had taken across the mountains ana were tnoviug towtra the Grand ltonde. IMe presence hero of tne military under orders to move toward Lewiston with the in tentiou of cutting off the hostiles liu mediately upon their appearance in that locality, and also the hurried movement of Gen Howard to the mouth of Snake river was sufljuieut proof that this report of a battle near Cay use was without icuinuauon. Several hours later when the cavalry under the command of Gen. Forsythe moved out of town in the direction of Lewiston everybody was convinc ed that the battle was a mjth, and the man who stared the story was denounced in language more forcible than polite. Still the excitement continued and still the news of the battle continued to reach us, but nothing that could be relied on. Gn. Forsythe had hardly passed beyond the outskirts of the town when .Mr. Isaacs a wen Known citizen and thoroughly reliable gentleman, arrived in town bringing the intelli gence that a band of Indians had been seen b Van Syckle canyon, and that the people thereabouts wero in great danger, llns new, coupled with the reported appearance of the hostiles in large numbers at Cayuse statioo.reaching the command inr officer a courier was dispatched to Gen. Forsythe with instructions lor thrt officer to retrace his steps and move toward Van Syckle canyon, Col. Robbing and his party of scouts were the first to return, and alter se curing the assistance of Joseph Paint er as guide, moved rapidly toward the scene of the alleged Lostilities raoidly lollowinz the cavalry and r.aased thronh Main street, this I ri time headed for Wallula. AH Virjds of rumors were now 10 circulation. The streets were crowd Ail ami the tnwn was L'ircD over to the Indian question. About dark men commenced arriving here direct from Cayuse station, and as they all confirmed the report received early in tlin mnrnincr in relation tO the ,t,. v..,. ;n Ar.ti.r tn I, in position to better comprehend aodj state, that a number of young men be rapple with the situation, sent a ruber of scouts to tho front. A cgram was also received from Gov. udwicK connrmatory ol tnuso re ports. Following theso stories came the news that the road between this city and Weston was lined with fleeing settlers. About 7 o'clock theso wag ous commenced pouring into the city, nnd by 12 o'clock it is estimated that fully 50 people, mostly women and children, passt d in through the vari ous avenues 1 ading from tho conn- try roads. The sceno presented by Hie appearance of these piinio sf n-k en people i bevond description. The stories told by them varied in many particulars, and not two agreed upon any one point. Some had h en Indians within a few miles of town, and other reported the massacre ol of their neighbors. But little atten tion was p;thl to these stories, allow ance being made for the excited and feverish stMo of the minds of those relating them. Such provision as could be made was provided for the shelter of these unfortunate people. About 11 o'clcok Wallace George, government courier, arrived direct trom tho the battle ground, and fmm him I leant the following: On Fri- lay aiteruonn about half past 1, Uv Coggan, in company with Al. Bunktr a Mr. Foster, started from Meacham's for 1 eudleton. Ihey had not pro-eeedi-d far when they came across a band of about 200 Indians who were driving a large band of horses. The Indians paid no attention -to Coggan and bis party and permitted them to ,as on unmolested. Ihey had gone but a short distance when a portion it the Indians, about forty, turned to nirsiie them. Coffrjan nnd his party put spnrs to their animals and at tempted to outrun them. Foster and bunker, who wero mounted ou good animals, succeeded, but Coggan, who was poorly mounted, his horse being an old stage animal, fell behind and was soon surroundod by the blood thirsty savages, who speedily dispatch ed him, The Indians followed a short distance, keeping .i their tire Dur ing tho pursuit ii inker received tv, o wounds in his s'ulo and ai other in his right hip. Foster, althongh in great langer himself, assisted Bunker to re mount, luey moved rapidly on, the Indians followiutr but a short distance. It soon becamo apparent that Bunker could not longer keep his horse. Ac cordingly he was carefully bestowed by his companion in a secluded spot. Foster without further delay proceed ed to Pendletou, when, upon relating what had befallen his companions, Col. Cornorver with a party of twelv e men started out to recover Coggau's body and bring in Bunker. Soon f- ter starting they intt a large band of hostiles and were compelled to re turn. In tho meantime Colonel Miles, with about 300 rfgulars, had reached Pendleton, and hearing the reports brought in both by Foster and Corno yer, immediately look up his line of march for the place where '.he Indians were said to be. After a march of about six miles and within a short distance of Cayuse Station, he encoun tered between 400 and 500 warriors, This was about eight o'clock in the morning. Getting his men into po siton Colonel Miles opened fire on the the hoKtiles, who returned it, but with out effect, neither side sustaining any injury. This was continued without intermission until 12 o'clock, when the Indians attempted to charge Miles' lines, but were driven off, the redskins being unable to stand the fire from the howitzers. In this charge the In dians sustained considerable loss, those resent estimating their dead at 15 Miles' casualties consist of two men wounded one in the arm and the other in the leg neither ot which are considered dangerous. Shortly after one o clock the Indians felt back tow ards the mountains. This is the first time during this campaign that tne iiostiieg nave at templed charge, and shows they are driven to desperation. During the whole fight they shot wild, an as marksman would not rank high at an vof the Creed more contests. 1 be conflict of yesterday can hardly, in any sense of the term, be called buttle. Miles oliiect, in view of the overwhelming numbers against him being to prevent the advance of the hostiles. And, it possible, bold them in check until reinforced. This be gallantly did, and when the lact that his force was afoot and the savage well mounted, it taken into considera tion.the result of yesterday's fight will be belter appreciated Some time during Friday the Io dians completed the destruction of Cayuse station, which, on the day pre vious, they Lad partially destroyed It is feared that Meacham has met similar fate, Returning to Miles' fight Amon the interested spectators were larg number of Umaliliat whs took side with neither party but appeared to relish ths sport. It is said, but with a whit amount of truthfulness I cannot longing to this, tribe, under Wenap Spoot, have joined tho hostiles. Col. Cornoyer reports, so I am informed, that tho young warriors passed bo yon J Ins control. At ten o'clock this morning Col. Forsytho with his command was at Weston, having been ordered to the scene of yesterday's conflict and was moot ing as rapidly ns his horses could travel. Tho United States forces now in Umatilla county amount to seven hun dred men, and" it is thought will bo sufficient if no uuforseeu accident oc curs, to bring ths hostiles to terms in a few days. Gen. Forsythe, who is now in command, is an old Indian fighter and one of the most experi enced officers in the army, lie pos sesses the confidence ot both his of ficers and men, and should the oppor tunity be afforded him he will make short work of the Piutes. When found tho body of Coggan was frightfully mutilated. Notwithstanding reports to tho con trary, it is almost certain that a por tion of the hostiles have succeeded in crossing tho Columbia and the dinger, bo far as the future is concerned is with them. For should they succeed in obtaining reinforcements from the Columbias aud other bands the war will be of long duration, and will re quire au immense army to whip them into a lasting peace. There is much excitement throughout this entire sec tion ot country, and the feeling ot in security is universal. Since writing the aboye I learn that Geo. Wheaton has gone to the front and will direct the movement of troops in person. Several millmen have just como into town rnd report they were riven out ot the mountains by the ndians, who appear to be iu largo umbers. A volunteer company has been organized here and have placed themselves at the disposal of Gov. erry. UMATILLA, July 1. The following Is just received trom Jnion, July 14: I. II.

News from Pendletou is to the of feet that Miles had a fight with 300 idians yesterday, lasting 7 hours. itdians were badly whipped. The entire command, inclu ling Bundirc's avalry, charged the hostiles, driving them in contusion. iNo omcers were hurt; two enlisted men were wounded and five Iiudians were killed aud a argu number wounded.

Hostiles have mado their appear ance on Clover creek, a tributary of North Powder river. Captain Vtvan s company of Egbert's command, while scouliug yesterday in that direction, captured seven Indians, eight squaws, some children and twenty horses. Af ter a vigorous pursuit thirty or more ot the hostiles escaped. Scouts from Meacham's report a large trail through the Bluo mountains passing toward Snake river, made early yesterday morning. Lgberl s command is or dered to tho Payette country to watch lor returning hotiIes,who are evident ly moving north towards Idaho and the Salmon river country as fast as ossible. San ford's command is or dered to ioiu Miles near the Daley ranch, and then follow on the trail of the Indians north. The prisoners captured yesterday aro now on the way to rort lioiso under Egbert 1 escort. Helena, Mont., July 13. A specia trout Pbillipsburg, Montana, July 12 midnight, says: Indians passing through murdered W in. Joy on lCcts 1 fork ot Kock creek. Jack Hayes an Amos hiliot are allso supposed mur dered at the same time and place. The murderers are believed to be the same Indians who murdered the men on Dearborn river aud Elk creek, prob bly reluming Nez Tercet. Two runners, John Myers and John Lynch, were killed last week on LI creek. Montana. Indians are believed to have committed the deed. Llk creek is on the line of Cadoll's Pass, near whera two men were previously reported killed. Lonsiuerable appre hension is felt by ranchers and stock men on the road from here to Fort Benton. Gov. Potts, who has just returned from a yisit to Ten-Day, chief of the Bannocks at Lemhi Agency, reports the hannoek Indians peaceably dis- - 1 posed 1 Modern Application of Damon and Pythias. A Gratiot avenue saloon-keeper was sorting out the lead nickles from his till yesterday morning, preparatory to tho lion st labors of a rainy day, when a smiling stranger came in snd said:. "Old fellow, I've got a bet ot ten dollars on your head." The saloonist felt all over the top of his head, found no bet there, and looked for a further explanation from the strangor, whose coat seemed bound to secure vcntillation. Tho caso'is this," continued tho man: "Pvo bet my friend B. that you aro a well read roau. To prove it, I have come to ask you if you know what Damon did when there was every reasou to doubt that Pythias would return. While I am sipping tnv lager you can jog your memory a little." Ho pushed a glass across the coun ter, but tho saloonist seemed to bo hunting for somothing down among the kegs. It's only a trifle small wager but the priuciplo is what I want to estab-' lish," remarked tho man as ho anx iously shoved tho glass around. "1 expect so," came from down, among the kegs. "Damon and Pythias were chums, vou know. When Damon wipod off. his chin Pythias pulled down his vest,, and vice verm. While I am drinking1 you can ponder over my original query!" "Shust so," repliod a voioo as the kegs wero rolled about vlf Damon bad tho' headache," con tinued the man, trying to work the pump projepting abovi the bar, "Py thias had a sore eye as an offset. If Pythias said he would take sugar io his, Damon sweetened np with New Orleans molasses. All this yon know of com so, but what did ' Damon do when Pythias did not return?" "I shall now shosr you vothe did A' replied tho saloonist, as ho rose up with a motallio spiggot in his hana. Yen dot Piddeus did not hurry tip, Damon vhalks aroundt der bar shust 10 and!'' . Tim Stranrrcr L'ot out. aud holding the door from the outside lie looked through tho glass and said: 'I am now convinoed that you, never road a dnrned lino ot Shake- peare! While Damon was searching under the bar, Pythias drew and, rank three glasses of boor!" Tho saloonist smilod, laid away his piggot, and as ho good-naturedly ulled open tho door, he cauoa 10 1110 stranger at tho curbstone: "Vlicn Damon vhas drinking dot peer Piddeus vlias mooting der pump. inter der sclop kog." A tremor passed over the wag le turned pale, showed his tectb, and as ho started for the wood yard opposite he repliod: "Hanged it ho didn t Damon. wants a rest!" Tktroit Free lreu. ' Cowards and Thieve. A certain class of Democrats boast of their partriotisin in "counting out".' the President Elect. Hewitt, for ex ample, went to Grant to inquiro what e was going to do. urant said that whoever the President of the Senate leclared elected, he would inaugurate,. This was enough. Hewitt, Mr. Til- len's Chief ot Stall, went back to his friends and told the blood-curdling tale, apd they got to work to savo ths country from another crusl war by betraying tbo people through their hocus pociu of nn Electoral Commiss ion. 1'ho simple, difference botween Hewitt fc Co. and John Sherman & Co., is that between cowards and theives ; yet, both of them prato of.' "good intentions," the former to save the country from civil war, and the latter to save tho "Cause of Freedom." What a generation of imbeciles and thieves ! But, thank Heaven, back of all thir rottenness and death there stands a great, young, vigorous, strong hearted people that will not permit the glorious wprk of 1776 to perish from tho earth.
