'"A HISTORICAL CURIOSlTir "
-'; We have is onr possession a daik-color
ed stone, found by Mr. John McBee in th
waters of the South Uinpqna, some six
miles south of Rosebnrg. t weighs some
thing near five pounds, is irregular in
shape, its surface is nearly smooth, and ap'
pears to have been subjected to the wash
ings of the waters for a great number 'ot
years. On two sides ot this stone are hier
oglyphics evidently carved by the band of
man. In one instance there seems to have
been carved a man's name- and a long one
at that or a sentence chiseled, in a man
ner now unknown, perhaps, only to the
learned Bcholr.r, whose education bs been
increi sed by schooling in the tonilm of tue
Egyptians, or iu decyheriog the inscrip
tions, fonnd upon the table s of the A y
syiiatiB. There can bo no dewpi on in the
matter of the age of the sinne. or the fact
that the CHrving was done nii'iiy years ngo;
since the rock shows that at one time the
inscriptions were on tl e iimido ot the r.iek,
through growth in formation; and since
then water has worn enough . awny to yet

X DEAR SCHOOL.
. If, as rpoited, next Spring shall bring
to this Slate a second visitation of the bor
rors of an Indian outvreak, then the Gov
erument will learn there is no use to tem
porize with the savage through religiou
liuiinu agents, and probably lurn 'iiin over
to the inexorable but just control f,tln
unitary. The massacres ol the M.ack Hill.i.
the uuliapiiy late of Custar, aud bis brave
followers, and tlielmiian murders in Mon
tana, Idatio aud Oregon , have done mncii
tow ird eilucating the t.utilic niind in th
right direction; but it seems ihat the iac
po icy nuiht I followed, more men. women
and children be iuHscri'd, aid more tr-rn
lory laid waste betoro our Uovernmeui
eurns. hs did England, i hat nothing bin
t 'in force ol arms can fi.rco ihe sivage o
c 'ntinued suWmission to the law. 1 is a
dear school of exi" rience in which to find
tun truth, but mistaken; philatithrophy i.i
ihe Eas, wh-re knowlevlge of the Indian is'
learn-d from toliaccou.ts' eigns, will per
mil do other.
Unsettle 1.
It appeirs that the Indians of Eastern
Oregon and Washington Territory are far
from bing satisfied with last years' out!
rages, aud are preparing to repeat the
work of murder. The military depart,
ment are pr vented from taking any pre
cautionary measures, by ib authorities at
Washington City. We'lnay reasons o!y ex
pert that the terrible devastations ot last
summer will again disturb the pence nnd
prosperty ot the country. It may be that
the vigorous charges made against the
management of Indian iiff.iirs by General
Sheridan may change tin attitude of the
War Department. Wo hviie it will have
that tfll-ct.
