This officer, accompanied by Colonel Stone, arrived here on the 28th ult., and deported on the 3d inst, the mis sion of the General being to investi gate the accounts of the State of Ore gon In the recent Modoc Indian War. lie states that fully nine-tenths of the entire claims were represented in per son before him, each claimant duly . swearing to the correctness of his ac count. General Hardie has had much ex perience in the investigation of similar claims, growing out of Indian wars in other sections, and we learn that he found matters in much better shape than he anticipated, and that the man agement of the war by the State au thorities had l>een more economically and systematically conducted than any similar service elsewhere investigated by him. We were pleased to notice a general attendance of the officers of the late Militia service present at the investi gation. Among them we observed Gen. Iloss, Col. J. N. T. Miller, Major Brooks, Captains Foudray, Kelly, Neil, Applegate, Hyzer and Rogers, and Lieutenants Reames and Berry. We found the General an affable and accommodating gentleman, and we be lieve the favorable impression he left on us is shared by the claimants and public generallj*. He will examine the accounts of the expenses arising from Capt. Fairchild’s company of Cal ifornia Volunteers, and will remain in Yreka for a few days for that purpose. Send Down n Peace Commission. If reports are true, says the the United States forces and the Ran gers met with a defeat at the hands of the Indians near Jacksonborough, Tex as. The defeat seems to have been a severe one. Of the Rangers twelve men were killed and a number wound ed. The loss of the cavalry force is not stated. This is a situation that calls for a special peace commission. This was about the condition of things —perhaps it is not so bad—as the Mo doc situation was when Meacham, Thomas and Dyar were sent out with the olive branch and Government sup plies to woo the Indians from their savage purposes and condole their bloody deeds. The Texas Indians need praying for and with ; that is ev ident. It seems to us that this would be a good field for that Christian-sol- dier General O. O. Howard. The peo ple of Oregon are expecting him here ; but if the paramount interests of the peace commission require his presence elsewhere they will be reconciled to the necessary change. Senator Kelly. The Eugene City Journal, (Republi can) whose editor has been in Wash ington during the last session of Con gress, says this of Senator Kelly: “Col. Kelly worked with all the energy and vigilance he could command all winter among the scanty minority of Democrats who are in the Senate, and among Republicans also, in behalf of the Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake Railroad bill and every measure in which Oregon was interested, no mat ter who introduced the bill nor in which house it originated. He was a member of the committee on railroads which reported this bill and recom mended its passage.” Grain Prospects. The crop prospects in Great Britain are said to not be encouraging. It is estimated that an unusual demand will, be made for American grain; the article of wheat alone exceeding sev enty millions of bushels. In England, says the JVewe, a short crop implies an extra demand from Russia and the United States. This country also fur nished last year 160,000,000 bushels of corn, and 30,000,000 bushels of oats and barley. The indications are that the demand for the present year will be greatly in excess of these figures. Tbe Case er Uerraad. Governor Grover refused to commute the sentence of Thomas Gerrand, who was condemned to death for the murder of Thos. Hubbard, in Marion county. Judge Bonham has granted a stay of execution and the case will be carried to the Supreme Court The Governor, in accordance with said stay, has sus pended Judgment from August 17th to October 2d.

The anxiety respecting his whereabouts yesterday increased. Four ineffectual attempts were made by the Postmaster General to reach him by telegraph ; the postal-car difficulty requiring the attention of the Attorney-General im mediately.
