Sentinel: This is ti Tort In embryo only ; nud like most other things or (he kind, had its first cxlstcnco upon paper. The order establishing 11 pcrmnuuut mili tary post nt this place was received on tliu J2(1 Oct,, nud about the first or the pres ent month the materials began to arrive from Fort Walln Walla. There nro now fifty citizens nnd nn equal number of so diers nt work, wjth.a fnir pros.pcct.of com pleting enough or the buildings before bad weather to afford shelter for the command now stationed hen, which consists nl Co. " F" 1st Cav. O. V. (dipt. .Mathews) nnd Co. "K" 1st W. T. lull. (dipt. Knox), nn der Mnj. J. S. Rincnrson, 1st Cm v. 0. V. The cost of erecting tho garrison hero will be about S.'iO.OOO Tho buildings will be of tho sumo dimensions and model, both officers' and mens' quarter?, ns those at Fort Walla Wnlla. That is n five-compa ny post nnd this will only bo a two-compa ny post, ns ut Fort Dalle.'. General Alvord visited this place in per son immediately after issuing the order for the erection of n post, nud superintended its location, Tho circumstances under which the work was ordered to be com menced nt such tin unseasonable time, I nm unable to give in detail here ; though one thing, iu uddition to tlio preconceived inclination of the General himself, wnH that exciting rumors were started about tlio unsafely of the country, and tho prob abilities of nn early Indian onlbreuk here. Meetings were held and petitions, with tunny signers, were sent to tho General, asking him to protect tlio country by keeping soldiers here during tho winter. ai i no same nmo mat meso people were petitioning for protection for themselves nnd Iheir properly, nt tlio hands of tho Government, they were every one violating the conditions of our treaty with the Xez Perces, in being hero on tlio Reservation. Yet they succeeded, and it may be for tho best that they have ; though I ussure you, if winter were now to commence, cold, se vcro winter, it would pinch tho little com mand hero bitterly. Our supplies have not ull arrived, and but little forago has been secured for our horses ; then wo have but one chnneo for n scanty share or com fort, und that is that tho mountains be tween here and Wulla Wnlla may remuln open during the most ol" tin winter. No person can reasonably question the propriety of making this a permanent gar rison. It is u necessity from the very im turo of the country ; and now particularly is it necessary, in order that the Govern raent may mnkfr at least a plausible s!ow of carrying out its treaty stipulations with the Niz I'ercos tribe of Indians. They are n tribo who have always been faithful friends and allies of ours. It is their proudest bonst tlmt they have never shed the blood of n white man. They have fought side by side with us 5 and it Is no small consideration tlmt they should be kept firm in their fealty to us. and it is scarcely possible to do this without the constant presence of troops here. Since the discovery of gold mines in (life coun try, unprincipled men hnvo wronged them, nnd their wrongs were unredressed. The treaty stipulations entered into between themselves nnd our Government have been broken nnd violated repcaledly, nnd tunny of the tribo hovo in consequence seceded and joined the hostile Snnkes. Their chief, " Lawyer," who receive.- (or Is promised) a venrly salary of SfjOO for his kintllv efforts, Is fast losing his prestige, because he litis long promised his people tlmt our Government would soon nuikc everything right with them. "Rig Thunderer," a powerful rival of his, Inking nil advantage of "Lawyer's" embarrassed situation, is fust pnthering tho disnfTected Ness I'erccs under his standard. He claims to be the legitimate heir to the 7'i-ship by virtue or his royal blood, nud says further, that he never sold hi country. Ho lias never recognized the treaty, nor Kill ho receive any part of the annuities from the Govern ment. The treaty establishing this Reservation wns mndc in 18ffi. Gen. Palmer nnd Gov. Stevens were our Conimissirnerp. Some of the stipulations were us follows : The Nez I'orces ceded to tho Government n poilion of their country, between here and Fort Wnlla Walla, nnd agreed to allow free nnd uninterrupted transit over the re. ninmder of their country constituting tit's Reservation, and which is near nn hundred miles square. Tho Government agreed to pay them S8.000 yearly in nnnuilies Tor ten years and a smaller amount ror the re mainder or twenty years. " Lawyer," their chief, was also to be paid 8.100 ti year to live near the agency und act as a mrdlntor between his people nnd ours. A fine house wns to bo built for him also 5 and the houso is not yet built. Ho has only re ceived 8.'I00 of tho 8:1,000 due him ; and the nnnuilies have not been paid in full. Another stipulation wtis that no white person should bo allowed to settlo upon nny of tho ogrieiilturiil or grazing lands of the Reservation. No traders should be allowed to come hero to trado without their consent and a license from the Gov ernment ; and in no case was any spirit uous liquors to be sold or given to the tribe by nny person. Since the discovery of gold mines here, thin country Iiiih been overrun by whites ; their agricultural lands have been taken and settled upon ; their finest watering plnces have been enclosed ; pack-trains nud herds of ctiltlo hove Bwiirmed over Iheir grazing lands ; nud, worst of all. eliciting wero scuttered over their country, on ull tho roads, where the meanest kind of angc- foot fire-wnter lies been dealt out to their people. Ruffians of every 6tamp have flocked here, and they hnvo often nbused the Indians, besides stealing their flue horses. " Eugle of tho Light," a noted nnd some what powerful chief of tho Nez I'erccs. has, wilh his whole band, allied himself Willi tho hosli'e Snakes ; and, ns ho and " Big Thunderer" uro supposed to bo in league, it is but a reasonable conc'uslon that a war is probable, Many think u war next spring- is inevitable, If it should occur, " Luwyer'B," tribe, ussisted by the United Statin troops, will liuvo enough to do to proteot such a largo country from tho ravages of tho Snakes and enraged Nca Perces, At present tl:oro nro about 2,f00 of both Lawyer's" and " Big Thun derer'a tribes." Of this number only 1 COO take their annuities ;' perhaps" less tlinn that mimbop would fight for " Lawyer." '"lieo the reaatadcr under " Bi$ Tenderer!, und "Kngiu or the Light's" tribe, whit It is said to be numerous, with those of tho Snnkes who would assist them, would, per haps equal tliiec times the strength of " Lawyer's" warriors. The great mineral wealth of this region has lately given it extended notoriety, nnd brought nn extensive population to im borders. Anil us its mineral resources nn being developed, the importance attached to its agricultural adaptations increase". In view of tile proposed ticaly between the Government nnd the Ness Perces, wherby the Government is expected to secure nil the rieli mineral lauds now embraced with in this Rctcrvntion, including Oro Finn Pierce City. Kile City, Florence nnd tho mining districts nround them. People nro eagerly seeking to usurp tho ngrie.ultural hind in every direction. Squatters mu attempting to hold rich spots hero and there by the very unsafe und doubtful ten ure of squatter sovereignity. Should tho Nez Perces refuse to treat, nnd persistently demnnd the fulfillment of our former obli gations, we may expect much trouble ; for it is impracticable, nt least, if not impossi ble to carry out tho conditions of 'tho treaty of 18.1(1. Tho whisky shops hnvo been broken up along the highways ; somu or the thieves have been arrested und sent nwny to be tried nnd pimMied neeording to law ; horses stolen from the Indians have been caplurcd und returned to litem by Ihe military ; but it is not to bo sup posed that they will attempt to remove nil the white population from the Reservation who uro here in violation of our treaty stipulations. It is hoped the Commission eers may succeed in milking a new treaty willi the Indians, on soma terms, so as to form more friendly relations with them and give safely and protection lo the increas ing interests of this extensive nnd proliliu region. The wcalher Is most dellghfiil. Tho nights are frosty and cold, but such bright, sunshiny days 113 we nrc having ure u!mnt enchanting. At sunrise the scene is grand. Frost-fields stretching fur nwny. sparkle iu tho sunlight like n sea of jewels. Wreaths or misty vapor curl upward from tlio bab bling Lupwui like incense. The health of our command is good. I havo already written too much. I will perhaps try again ; until then, ndieu ! Very respectfully etc. W. II. A. (Jrn'Krai. Ilooicmi. The Tribune, notic ing the return of General Hooker to active service, bespeaks for that officer greater opportunities than those or commander of : corps, und indulges in this eulogy of his merits : In tho history of that desperate yet indecisive day which has made Antietniii 1; terrible household word, (he central iuleie.-t is the contest on tho right, where General Hooker fought. Beginning it with unhes itating promptness in the reeonnoissancu o the night before, ho eustuiued it unaided und with unflinching resolution for four hours of Wednesday morning, till ir rebel bullet drove htm from tho field. Its inci dents nre frcjh in all memories; his exact und decisive handling of trcops on the difficult ground in the dusk of evening; hit) sugucity in seizing positions ; the rare coolness of judgment with which he silenced his iwtilleiy that he might not reveal his lines; his brilliant tactics of the next morning ; the iron it solution with which ho held his troops firm ugniuts crushing tidds : their devotion, inspiicd by his courage 11 d exposure ; his keen insight into the but tie ; his energy in pursuing his success in iv word, the consummate generalship which he displayed throughout, madu him 'tho hero of the buttle. His Peninsular en gagements had shown that ho po3es?cd tho acquirements, the capacity, the personal force, which uro the elements of mijiian' greatness. Antictum revealed, also, tin t iudeliunblo supremacy of intellect which v 0 call military genius. And beyond alio tin r qualification?, General Hooker is in rai'nesi ; bus put his heart into this war; believu. that the rebellion can and ought to' In crushed ; that armed resistance to 1uWftU authority must bo subdued by arms r'thnc the lifo' or tho nation U to 'bo preserved, whatever goes down uadtr the murtiirT tread, or ils defenders,
