The battle which. ensued would undoubtedly have resulted in the annihilation of the police had it not been for the timely arrival of cavalry, who nut thii braves to Hh;ht on short notice. This Is the tint real encounter that has taken place as a result of the Messiah craze, and among army oflicluls It is ipilte generally believed to le iiIkmiI the last. There are' but a few hundred warriors in the Bad IjiiiIs who are in favor of continuing the dance, uuil as they are now left with no one to Incit and spur them on in their hideous actions, it Is quite, probable that in the course of lime they will bury their hatc.heU and return again to civilization. It Is not to be wondered that the appro priations from tlie gorurumetit are so seldom adequate to tli demands, and so often full far abort of being of any en;lv. able worth when we take lhto cpnsldtratlon the extravagant fnanner in which the funds are guzzled by a host of regularly appointed government officials and agents.

As was pre dicted ny many, this Is the result of Jay Gould's having assumed control of the Union. Oould Is too much of business man to enter into competition If it can be avoided ; find It has been his standing policy to not Intrude on other people's ground If bo can make proflllable speculations else where, There Is now a party of surveyors running a preliminary from the mouth of the Cowlitz on the north side of the Colum bia, along the foothills above high water mark, towards the mouth; and this fuet has been Interpreted by those who are familiar with the operations us meaning the Imme diate construction of a line to the coast.
