DALLAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 29. JLIAHJ 1JTI ES FOR 1NTEHFEKING Willi TUB INDIANS. Xast week we inserted a short article under the above heading. In addition, we would say that parties should not " cily be careful in trading, &c, with .the '-Indians, but the v should j also be yvery cautious in talking to them, as -they wight, by indulging lu unthought .1 i -. peace, if not the safety, of those con nected with the Indian Reservation. ,As an illustration, we might mention a -circumstance which happened during .the suiall'pox excitement last fall. A squaw who had been working in Salem, .caught the small pox and went to the Grand Round Reservation before the .authorities knew she had it. Consider able excitement,' of course, prevailed A " . S . XT" 7 J A I ... .concerning tne anair, ana mere was much said among the citizens about the probable result; some conjecturing the 'total annihilation of all the Indians on the Reservation. An Indian called Umpqua Peter chanced to be in Dallas, -and some party, either for mischief or through malicious intent, took the lib erty of informing Peter that Lafoliett .had brought the small pox on to the Reservation in order to kill off the In .diaos, so that he could make money from tlse appropriations." Peter went home, called his tillicums together, and told them what he had heard. A gen eral Council was held ; the Indians, of course, became very much excited about the matter, and went so far as to declare war against the whites, rather ,Ahan submit to being killed ofl y a con tagious and fatal disease. One Indian, -who put more trust in the Agent and -employees than the rest, went to the Agency and told what was brewing. A prty went down immediately to the .disaffected camp, to see what could be m r ,done to appease the infuriated and now .belligerent mtirVs. For sometime, the prospects wtre tliat they were bound to fijsiht it out; but niter-consulting about the matter for a length of time, and the .Agent promising that the Indians who .then had the small pox should Lc so taken Care of that none else should get it, they quieted down, and concluded vto ive up the contest. We may laugh as we will at the utter folly of the Indians, however great their grievances may be, taking up arms against the whites in the midst of .a densely populated community, but we .'cannot ignore the fact that the weakest jcreatures will fight in self defence, and jight to the last: And while they could not expect aught else than defeat, yethe--fore that could have been accomplished, many might have been caused to suffer. There is also the same point here that we find in an act of interfering with the Indians in any way, other than legi timate dealing ; the party so doing lay themselves liable to the penalty of the law. No one can inteffere with the Indians in jhis or in any other way without being eventually found out, as ,there are always some who will, after a time, inform on the aggressor, thus lay ing him liable to prosecution at any A Quarrel and its Partial Re ;SULTS - Three brothers named Bab .cock, John, Avery, and Samuel, have been keeping cattle together on the Nestucea for some time past, and some .difficulty arose between them concerning the stock and some other property. One .day last week John and Samuel separ ated their cattle from the .others, and bad driven them -off some distance, when Aery, with two brothers known as Hen and Burt Simpson, accompanied Jby a dog which belonged to the three Rabcocks, headed, the cattle, and un dertook to drive them in another direc tion using; the dog as an assistant. The dog seemed to be more in the way than either of the men, and John called to his brother Sam to shoot the dog. At .this juncture Burt Simpson rode close to Sam, when Sam told him to stop running the cattle; Burt immediately .checked up, and said ho would. Sam drew his revolver and turned with the intent of obeying his brother's repeated .orders "to shoot the dog," when Hen, who was on a slight eminence a short ditance off fired ;.the ball passed through Sam's right arm into the shpulder and lodged against the back bone. It was afterwards extracted by Dr. Hall, and .the patient is now in attendance at the .Circuit Court. , The contraot for construction" of the first twenty-five miles of the N. P. R. It. was awarded to J. B. Montgomery. ; GOOD nouses. There arc but few, if any, places in our Union where horses can be raised cheaper than in Oregon. The climate is well suited to them, and everything well adapted to the rearing of the best quality of these noble animals. Times are changing, and parties who have heretofore engaged somewhat iu raising horses should notice and take advantage of these changes. In the first settling of the country, when herding stock was the principal occupation, the lariat and blanket, with a little "grub" the only necessary traveling outfit, the small Indian pony, or cayuse as he is famili arly called, was the best adapted to the wants of the inhabitants. As the country became more densely populat ed, the people turned their attention to agriculture. This change in occupation demanded a change in horses, as well as other conveniences for profitable farming. " The steep hills which im peded the passage of the farmer to market, as well as the depth of mud in the winter, made it requisite to have large, well muscled horses; and so many of these were raked, that a trav eler coming from the East could but notice how much larger the horses, a? a class, were in this State than in the East. The demand was good for large horses for teaming purposes in Eastern Oregon and in California, and the profits derived from them were very great. Then the demand was for two classes of horses only, large ones for work horses, and small ones for the saddle. But little difference was made in orice be tween the medium sized horse and the pony, as neither were considered fit for the harness. Now, however, the rail car and the steamboat is rendering it unnecessary to go so far to market, the roads are becoming established, and will consequently become better, aud the necessities of conveyance demand another class of horses. Good road sters, carriage, and liht driving horses, and noble, thorough-bred saddle horses are coming into demand. Our farmers and htock rai.-eis should bear this in mind in selecting their stock horses, aud secure those which will fill the de mand, which will be constantly incrcas in" Tho WUhruette Farmer of last week mentioned a few of the best breeds for such purposes, the Morgan, the Humble to man aud others. CUiriVATKD WOMEN. There is perhaps no one thing which tends more to the elevation of society than the truly refined and cultivated woman. The very atmosphere which surrounds her seems to inspire the mind with higher and holier aspirations; and no matter how low or debased a man may become, he approaches with defer ence, and a feeling akin to reverence, the presence of the lady whose every word and action shows unmistakable evidence of culture and refinement. Sheridan has truly said , ' Women govern us; let us render them perfect. The more they are enlightened, so much the more shall we be. On the cultivation of the mind of women de pends the wisdom of men. It is by women that nature writes on the hearts of men." Let us disguise the fact as we may, women govern us. In child hood they direct our fi otsteps; in youth they guide our thoughts and Inclina tions," and in after life, by an irresista ble influence, they govern our actions, and give tone to society. How impor tant it is, then, that they should be granted all japd every opportunity for mental culture, for moral elevation, and the acquirement of all those endow ments which make her what she should be, noble, elevated and refined. Let no avenue be closed to her progress, no obstacle thrown in the way ot her advancement. Success. There is nothing so ab ject as the worship of mere success, uuless, indeed, it be the worship of mere wealth. There is nothing lower than to admire and flatter a man simply because he has got on, became he has carried his point, because he has come to be talked about in the way which he wished to be talked about, and to think scorn of others whose merits and effect may have been equal to bis, or perhaps much greater but whose merits and effects have, for some cause or other, not been so lucky as his in getting tho object at which they aimed. Wo furnish the Republican and JJemoresCt Monthly for $4 a year. PATHONS HV UUSBANDttY. Some time since, we gave an account of an association which was being'formed for ,the benefit and protection of the farmers. We promised to give further particulars as we received them, and now; we publish the following circular, which will givo all a definite idea of the organization, its object and aims : National Grange,- Washington. It is evident to all intelligent minds that the time has come when those en gaged in rural pursuits should have an organization devoted entirely to their interests. Such it is intended to make the Order of Patrons. It was in stituted in 18G7; its growth is unpre cedented in the history of secret asso ciations, and it is acknowedged one of the best and most useful and powerful organizations in the United States. Its grand objects are not only general improvment in husbandry, but to in crease the general happiness, wealth, and prosoerity of the country. It is found ed upou the axiom that the products of the sou comprise the basis ot wealth; that individual happiness depends upon the general intelligence and mental culture of the producing classess. In the meetings ot this Order all but members are excluded, and there is in its proceedings a symbolized ritual exceedingly appropriate, which is de signed to cultivate a social feeling of friendship, produce the much-desired efficiency, extension and unity, and to secure among its members in the inter nal working of the Order the harmony necesary for success. Women are admitted to full member ship, and we solicit the co operation of woman because oi a conviction mat without her aid success will be less cer tain and decided. Much might be said io this connection, but every husband aud brother knows where he can be ac companied by his wife or sister no les son will be learned but those of purity and truth. The Order of tho Patrons of Hus bandry will accomplish a thorough and systematic organization among farmers and horticulturists throughout the Uni ted States, and will secure among them intimate social relations and acquaint ance with each other, for advancement, and elevation of their pursuits, with an appreciation and protection of their true iiiti'ientj. By such means may be accomplished that which cxUts through out the country iu all other avocations and arm tig all oilier cbsse co-operative association for individual improvc men and common benefit Atnonir the advantages which may be derived from the 0der are system atic artageuieots fr procuring and dia seiuinatiug. in the most exj elitk.ua manner, information relative to crops, demand and supply, price, markets, and transportation throughout the coun try ; aUofor the purchase and exchange of stock, seeds, and desired varieties of plants and trees, and for the purpose of procuring help at home or abroad, and situations for persons seeking employ ment; atao for ascertaining and testing the merits of newly-invented farming implements and those not in general use, aud for detecting and exposing those that are unworthy, and for pro tecting, by all available means, the farm ing inteiests from fraud and deception, and combinations of every kind. We ignore all political and religious dis cussions in the Order, we do not solicit the patronage of any sect, association or individual, upon any grounds what ever, except upon the lutnu&ic merits of the Order. The better to secure greater bene fits to our members, wo deshre to es tablish Granges in every city, town, and village in the United States. In formation relative to organizing may be obtained by addressing the undersigned, or either ot the General Deputies. O. II. KELLY. Secretary of tho National Grange. ; Deputies at large are Col. D. 8. Cur tis, Dr. W. H. Burnham,T. A.Thomp son, Dr. James L. Enos and Z. Cooks who are traveling in different portions of the United States . . L-. . J Value of a Laboring Man. A laborer is worth more to his family and the public than is popularly supposed. If the wages of a common laborer are $1 50 per day, and it requires the whole of this sum to support his family, it will amount to $469 50 per. year, which is the interest on 07,080. This is his capital. Should he be deprived of it, by accident or foul means, a jury would award this verdict wherever claimed in a proper manner. But be yond this financial value, he is a far J more potent element. Our manufac tories, forges, furnaces, woolen mills, are all kept alive by his labor; property receives its value from the demand in stigated by the business which he sup ports Schools, churches and societies are all indebted to him. His money is just as good as his employer's ; and euucauon, dooks, and newspapers are far more freely supported than by his masters. Who then shall say that a laborer is worth nothing? I . The Council of Oregon City have passed an ordinance, prohibiting boyai trequenting Baioons, State Items. Gleanings from State Exchange?.! The Eugene City papers report Ileal Estate in active demand Surveying parties are surveying the route for the railroad from Harrisburg to Eugene. Wo learn from theCorvallis Gazaette, that Eli Mason, the man who struck White, at Philometh last week, causing death, was bound over to appear at the next term of Circuit Court. Man Drowned. Last Sunday, while workmen were engaged on the Calipooia railroad bridge above Albany a carpenter named Richmond fell through the bridge into the river, and instautly disappearing, never arose to the surface again. He was a young man, and has a brother in Portland. From the Slalesmau we learn that Capt. J. F.Miller, has sold his 3,000 acres of land in YarahM county, to S P. lteed, of Portland, for 45,000, and the stock, utensils,: and tools bring about $7,000 more. He reserves the spring clip of wool, and about 2,000 bushels of grain on hand. Low Fares. Through trips andjlow fares seem to be the Order of the day with the P. T. Co., as we understand that the boats now run through from Portland to Albany, daily, and also from Albany to Portland. Fares from Salem down, $1 50. Quite a reduction. Track Laying. The work of track- laying on the O. & C. II. II. has advan ced to within a short distance of the 100 mile stake, south from Albany about 14 miles. It if expected that cars will pass over the line with passengers to that point during the present week. Officer Chance, of Astoria, arrived Tuesday night, in Portland and arrested a man on a charge of theft committed at that place recently, lno prisoner was searched in the jail, and some of tho stolen property was found upon his per son. It it said that thero are charges of murder pending against him in Brit ish Columbia. He is a notorious outlaw. Bio Work in Kailroadino. On Monday last Mr. J- L. Hatlett, Superin- tendant of construction (at the front) on theO. k C. II. It., with 51 men left Albany at four o'clock in the morning with a train carrying lb bents trestle work to be put up at a point beyond tne Uaiii ooia. jseiore iz o ciock tnc bents were in position and the track laid, and a train of cars run over it. In the afternoon thy laid one and aquar. ter miles and 200 yards of track before six o'clock that evening. The Albany Democrat gives thi ncoutit of a singular accident : Miss. Annu Spring, whd lives at Mr. John Hurd's, iu this city, last Wednesday, met with a singular and painful acci dent. She had just finished a new dress; and, accidentally leaving the needle sticking in one of the ruffles, immediately donned it to test its fitting qualities. Soon after she put it on she knelt down to arrange the carpet on the floor and the needle penetrated her knee to the depth of an inch, bietking off and remaining in its bed of flesh until Dr. Jones was call and cut it out. The pain was most excruciating. How the Little Rascals got a Bide. A few days ago, so a reliable citizen informs us, some little fellows, who were keen for a ride, induced a lit tic girl to sit on tho track as the train was coming in and to not move f r tho locomotive even. The rose was so sue cessful that the whistle shrieked iu vain and the train had to be brought to a full stop, and while she was being placed in safer quarters, the crowd, of youngsters clinied on behiud and got a free ride to the depot. Statesman. Wo take this from the Oregonian: Until recently it was supposed by those who had not the exact means of ascer taining the facts, there must be in the interior of this valley a considerable surplus of wheat, to come forward after the spring season should be over. Within the last few days we have con versed with several parties who have ac curate information in regard to the matter, having scoured the valley over either in person or by agents ; and they all concur in the statement that probably not enough could be obtained to make a cargo, after loading the vessel now under charter. The two or three car goes to be yet sent away, were purchased some time ago, and the grain is lying in store mostly in warehouses along the river to be pent down when wan ted, and no faster than it can be put on ship board. The fact that wheat is gettiug scarce, becoming pretty well known among buyers, there was just be fore the reported deoline in Liverpool, quite a scramble for such lots as were obtainable; and wehearof one party who purchased in Salem, the other day at the extreme figure -$1 30 per bushel. The buyer will lose heavily on the lot, as he canuot now ship and realize any where near its cost, and he can scarcely save himself by flouring it. It is prob able that no farther attempt will be made to purchase wheat for foreign shipment until after harvest, and ex cept for local trade, tho quotation henceforth, for two or three months will be of but little importance to any. body. .
