All efforts t J treat with the blood stained mur derer have failed, and cooauer we must and will. When we- havo boldly and manfullv Ixked danger in the face, and cslndvcoolernelateJ it fearful visage, we must necessarily coma to aotBe eoaalu. non at to tte measures, we shall adopt. Of the two plant already mentioned. the one which propoeod to merely keep men enouah under arma to aairiaon, the nasts. has been witely and manfully re- jeclej. Unanimity of aentlment at thit criii, it 01 primary importance: ana u mijr be satisfactory to atate briefly a few of the reasons which wo tupaoae led our a-oxernraeat to the deurmlastloa to throw itself M once upon tha pstristlsnt of the 1 coun'ry, ana reiy upon imnioiaae oa through. In managing nay of Ike aJUra 01 government, and itpielally war, there it ono great point never to be. forgotten, and that la to remember the condition and temper of the people, and Ike Mad force vou have to t-orern and commas If the Oregon government had the ready meant, and regular troop, it Would be a practicable measure to bold the porta with a few troops. But the government bat no meant, and no troottt but militia volun teert, whose term of inlittment will toon bo out: ami all our American experience hat shown, that mora volunteers will not bear to be pent up In a narrow fort, and kept inactive, and perhaps half starved. If you wish to make volunteer servicea ble keep them sea's heap them adsaac tng. They are bad upon a retreat, and worse cooped up in a fort. We will suppose that wo had posted at Fort Water, at WsJilatpu, a small body of volunteer, It would be rectos ry to provido in advance at least ate month provisions, for tbey would be so few k number, that tbey could aot adraac knlo the country and take supplies, or keep any cattle at the post. TVs Indians bay lately driven meat of their stock, aad placed most M Matr Mantissa . MyesM snake river, where tbey oaaaat be wash cd by a amall ferae; aad they would aW the Cay tjse country with their war parties, unincumbered with property or fcataHss, and effectually rrtaka the eountry we have conquered. Should we wish to throw additional applies into Fort Ws lers, it would require a eoaaidsraUa fcro to do ihls, for the reason that lbs taotneat we cease to act on the offensive, the In dians will become the assailants in their turh, and would make every effort to cut off all supplies. The moment we make a retrogade movement, the Indiana will con. aider ua conquered, lbs hostile, parties will increase and become more ooaadent and bold, aad the combination every day becoming more and mors formidable aad extended, The tribe now at peace with us will be forced to join our enemies, to sat e tbemsolve. It it always dangerous and hturdous to retreat before an Indian foe. Can we be content to vleld uo what we have taken I Ought we to withdraw our forces irom ine present seat oi war, to ue Willamrnctto Valley, and fight our ene. talcs hero in our midst t It occurs to me that it would be muob cheaper to feed a competent force in tno ueld, itian to pro. xision a smaller force in tho fort, for the ntson that with men enough a can take cur protUiont from tin tnemy, except the article oi flour; out u we nave our a lew, Mit must supply them ourselves entire. t'pon the score of expense alone, it it much cheaper to fight the enemy in-lil own country, uktrt we (am Jtrte Urn Ic tufplf ut. uur iieavy wheat narvctu art) ap proixl.lng, and tho crop aro exceediagly promising; and should we, withdraw our troops from above,, we mutt expect to Agbt the enemy in tho Wlllarometia Valley.
