eminisc2nc8 of the Indian Yftrj-
1853
BY HON. W. NESM.i'U.
From the West Shore
Continued iroin last week.
Early on the morning of the 10th of
September, 1853, we mounted, our
horse-: aod rode out in the direction of
the Indian encampment. Our party
consisre 1 of the following nam-d per
sons: Gen. Joseph Lane, .Joel Palmer,
Suporint mdent of Indian Affairs; Sam
uel P Colver, fndiiti Agent; Capfc. A.

T. ri Tierney. By reference to the II-
s Stata(es ;it Lar v 10j p 1020f the
most of the above named will be found
appended t the treaty that Uay exo-
cuted. After riding a coapb; of miles
acres the level vallev we came t the
foot ,, the monntaiu where it was too
teep for horses to acend. We dis-
mounted and hitched our hordes and
serambled un for half a mile over hure
. - 4
rocks and thr.mgh bru-h, and then
found ourselves in the Indians' strong
held, just under the perpendicular clitf

in all their gMgeom war paint -md
feathers. Capt. rfn:ith had drawn out
his company nf Dragoons aud left them
m line on the plain below. It was a
bright beanti.'ul morning an 1 ill"
R igue river valley lay like a piu irama
at our feet; the exact line of dr.igoos.
sitt:ng st;fue like up n theiv bus's,
with their white b.dt and biriiidied
scabbards and carbines, l-io'e 1 dkj ihey

us. Tne budir-T.i of the treaty com
mnru i at once. L nig speeciies were
made by General Lane and Superin
tendent Pajni.'r; they had to he trans.
1 it :d twice. When an Indian spoke in
the ! vogue river tongue, it was translat
ed bv :m Indan interpreter into Ciii
110 )k or ja'gn tome, w!in I tniuslated
it iu'o hi iglish, whin Lun or Palmei
. spoke the pros was reverse 1, I giv-
is H sp interpreter
made t!ie hihor te liou-?, an 1 it w.is n t
till late in the afternoon fiat, the treaty
was completed and .-igned. In the
mean tim i un episode occurred which
came noir tnninatini the treaty as
wed as the represent ifinn, ofnne of the
'diigii eonti acting parti-.--." in a sud-len
and tragic m.inner. A'oju the nrddle,
of the afternoon a young In lia'i came
running into c.unp s-'ark n ike 1 with tlic
j)ers.:ration streaming from every pore. '
He made a brief harangue and threw
himself upon the ground apparently
exhausted. Mis speeeh hud created a
l gre it tumult among his trib. (ImAI
Lane tdd me to inquire if the Indian
imer)reser the can e of the commotion
The Indian re;d.el that a company of
white men cum! down on Applcgate
creek and under command of Ciprr.in
(jwen, had Lint morning eiptured an
Indian, kno.vnasJim Taylor, aud had
him tie I up to a tre and -hot t) death.
The huhhub and confusion anio-ig the
Indians at once oceanic mfc'hc-e and
murder glare 1 from each savage vis;X;
The Indian interpreter told me that the
Indians were threatening tj tie us up to
trees and serve us as Owen's men had
served Jim Taylor. I saw some Indi
ans gathering up lass-ropes while others
drew the skin covers from their guns
and the wiping sticks from their muz
zles. There appeared a strong prob
ability of our party beiug subject to a
sudden volley. I explained as briefly
as I could what the interpreter had
communicate 1 to me, and in order to
keep our people from huddling together
and thus make a better target for the
savages, I uad a few English words
not likely to' ho understood by th?
Indian fnterpr-'t-.r, sueii as "disp rse, .
and "seggregite." In fact wejeept so
closet) the savages and separated from
one amtlier thr a ly general firing
must hive bien ii'jirly .ras fatal to the
Indians as to the white. YVdo I
admit that. 1 th night my time had come
and hurrielly thought of wile and chil
dren, notice I nothing but coolness
among my enmp mimis. Gen L ine sat
uo ma log with his ar.n bandagel in a
slin, the lines about his mo.it' rigidly
compresspng his lips, whi'e ins eyes
11'asMeI fire lie asked brief qucsti.-iH
and gave me stntentio is answers to
what little the In-Uans said tj us.jaript.
A. J. Sin-th, who was prematurely
grey haired and was afflicted with a
nervous snipping of the eye, leaned
upon his cavalry saber and loo-d
anxiously down up m his well formed
line of dragoons in t'ie valley bvdow
His eyes .snapoe l m re vigor.)us'.y than

be one Lidiiui made "'good" about the
time the hYwg commenced. In a few

moments Gen. Line stood up and com

that you have the power to murder us

Out murder will exasperate our friends
ai.d your trib will be hun'cl from the

the irea?v, and inteid of w,r have a

this strain by the General, all rather

icter. The exritom -ut gradu illy subs

galloped up t) his sqiia Iron and gave
a brief order. The bugle s mu le I a

and trotted off to camp. As General
Lane and party rode back across the
vnll..v WB ln.ke.J back and saw the
r .v f thn sfittiiiL' sun irilding the sum-
mit of Table Rock. I drew a long
breath and remarked to the old General PH which he expressed the opm-th-it
the next time he wanted tigoun- ion that the least time in which any
armed into a hostile camp he must person could probably make the cfov
hunt up some one besides myself to
act as interpreter. With a benignant
smile he replied, "(,od bless you, luck
is better than science."
