Sarah Wioueniucca, the well-knowa '
"Princess" of tho Piutoa, has evidently
captured the do facto administration at
Washington. Several weeks since the
entrancing Sarah, attended by several
Piute Chiefs, sailed on Mr. Hnyes, cf
Ohio, and procured a Cabinet order
which enables those Piutes who have
hitherto lived among vrhitea and work
ed for 7agc3 to reumin7 whereever they
may oov? be. Indignant bucks have nc
such indulgence.

Who javo in previous years worked for
white settlers in Warner Valley have
so disappeared that Sundry frontiers,
men ere conutrainsd to behove all such
have gone to tho happy hunting ground.
Mayhap; but we overheard a conversa
tion, yesterday, in which a genthman,
just returned from Montana remarked
that he had ?ecn a horse in the posses
sion of an Indian on Smith's River which
was u.r.rked with Usury Wilson's brand
and which evidently came from War
niT Valley. The Indian who bestrode
him is a character vroll-known in this
nci'hbirhood. Alas ! for tha frontiers

Make answer, Sarah and say that

that Port Harney U to bo abandoned.

that is garrisoned by troops, if wo ex

centrally located in what is now the
only Indian country left in Oregon.
It is our opinion that when it becomes
neressary to abandon this post there
will be no further need of troops to
protect tho frontier of this Stato or
even of any other portion of this mili
