as ever wore a uniform. IUC poor old
! fellow was shot at my side. Tho fight
was very close, without much advautago
to cither side. At about 12 o'clock our
: forces were assembled on the summit of
.... , ., f i . .? i .
hill, and the fight was continued until
8 o'clock P. M. When on this hill, wc
were surrounded by hundreds of Indians
made demons by the loss of many of their
warriors. They fought like white men,
and proved thomsclvcs far superior skir
mishers. So incessant and terriffie was
the fire they directed upon our position,
that wc were compelled to crawl upon
our hands and knees. Bad as was our
situation, we were not without music, for
the sharp whistlo of balls was ever in our
cars. Whilst on this hill we bad one pri
vate killed and several wounded. Our
total loss during the fight of twelve hours
wa3 killed, two officers, three privates,
and three of our Indian interpreters ;
wounded, about cloven privates, one mor
tally. The loss of the Indians is not cer
tainly known, although they acknowledge
forty wounded, and at ono time, during
the action, they carried off nine dead bod
ies, and during a charge made by Lieut.
Gaston and myself, twelve more were
killed. I think the Iudians must have
lost about thirty killed. Towards cvo
ning our ammunition began to fail, and
seeing ourselves completely encompassed
by the Indians, who only awaitod tho
morrow to niako a complete massacro of
our party, it was concluded after much
consultation, to abandon our position, aud
to retreat to Snake river.
At about 8 o'clock, having stripped
ourselves of everything that would in the
slightest impede us, W2 left the liill, f ally
expecting to cut our way oat, aud mourn
fully anticipating that a large portion, if
not nil of us, would fall; but to our hap-
py surprise, our departuro was not noticed.
We retreated ninety niiics in twenty-four
hours, carding with us our wounded,
save two. At the starting my 1st Scrg't
was lost from the command and did not
return for a week. Alone, he hid him-
self during the day, and traveled by night.
n0 was three days without tooa.
The battle is over, aud wo are again at
Walla WniU, hiving left behind us nine
brave spirits, whose death will yet be ful
ly avenged. We recovered Capt. Taylor's
body, and buried it where he fought. He
leaves with us a sweet wife aud two little
children. Lieut. Gaston fell into the
hands of tho Indian-, and was scalped.
Our case was so desperate, that for hours
I was reconciled to the belief that noue of
us would escape. What a different esti
mate we make of life, in battlethe flow
of blood, the groans of the wounded, the
scattered dead bodies, the hellish yells of
Indians, the whir uf balls seeming to pass
within an inch of your head, make one in
sensible to that feeling of fear of death or
injury which characterizes us when at
homo in peace. The scenes during the
twelve hours wo fought, will never be
forgotten, aud the remembrance of them
will ever be mournful.
Pkintino Pai'er. We have been
shown a specimen of Printing Paper man
ufactured out of Aspon wood, which, for
beauty aud durability, we think, is unsur
p.omtj bj any that wo have seen used by
the country press. Julius A. Roth,
Esq., of this place, is the inventor and
manufacturer. II o informs us that he
will still improve upon it, and what is bet
ter, be able to furnish it at lower rates
than we bave been paying for the rot
ten stuff received from the Catawissa
Paper Mills. It will not be long before
the machinery to be used in the manufac
ture of this paper will be in successful op
eration. We bopo that licrwick will
become tbe permanent borne of this useful
and proGtable invention. Mr. Roth has
been engaged since IS JO, in experiment
ing upon various kinds of wood, and has
shown us specimens of paper made of
hickory, beech, bass-wood, white poplar,
wL;ie oak ccJ . , d j, f
' 1 1
which ho has found capable of being con
verted into pulp from which may be man
ufactured paper of substantial body that
can be profitably adapted to all the ordi
nary uses to which paper is applied. In
the course of the nine years which Mr. R.
has spent in bringing bis experiments to
a successful termination, there bave been
many capitalists and others who have at
tempted by experiment, to discover his
process of reducing wood to pulp from
which they could niako paper, but have
:aTarjabv fujlc. J ; aDj the process yei re
mains a secret with Mr. Roth. Capital
j can avail nothing, brains everything, in

Harrison, fortunately was not in tho dwel

IIoo Pes Nuisances. Hog pens in

Court of this State. As wo recently sta
ted, there arc a number in the very heart
of our populous town, which are the worst
kind of nuisances highly detrimental to
health and ought to be abolished. AJ
stringent ordinanco should bo passed by

to abate all such nuisances, without drag

Mountain Measurement. The high

Carolina, which is the highest land east of

results are quite remarkable. Professor
Mitchell measured it in 1S55, and Pro
fessor Guyot in 185G; the latter reported
the height to bo C70S fcct,tbe latter's fig
ures were C709 feet. Major J. C. Turn

elevation to be C711 foul. Tho first two
were barometrical measurements; tbe third

A Musical Bed. The last novelty
from Germany is a musical bed, which re
ceives tho weary body and immediately
"laps it in Elysium." It is an invention
of a mcchanio in Bohemia, and is so con
structed that by means of hidden mechan
ism, regular tunes arc played, which lull
ono to sleep. How much better this than
to be annoyed o' nights by howling dogs,
Sary-naders, and Thomas eats !
Six hundred and terenfy ladict have pe

FARMERS! Above is a good rea
son why you should thrash out and get
your grain to market, early. It is wicked
to waste so much grain on vile animals,
when so many human beings are wanting
it for bread. Besides, the loss of inter.
est is no small sum. Get your grain to
market as early as possible and you get
your money in good season you avoid
dangers of loss by fire, rats, &c. you
aid merchants, ifce , in discharging their
obligations and you will cheer anJ help
business generally. Yes, push along your
grain, settle up, and make things pleasant
aud prosperous as far as yon can
To Make Cows give Down th-eir

Leonard Gillott, of North Colcbrook,
Mass., has practiced this for fifteen years,
and has never known it to fail. The ani

salt, so that tho pleasuro of getting some
takes off her attention from other things.

! Forney and the TaiiJ",
The Philadelphia I'RKSS, f.f Thursday
last, contained a lengthy and ah!y written
article from the pen uf the editor, Col.
Forney, relative to the present Caancial
condition of the general ivcriiment, anl
the future prospects of the country. Uj
concludes that unless a very remarkablj
improvement takes place before the next
ncssion of Congress, a modification of thd
Tariff wi;l bcome inevitable, and that the
1 change for the better ty the natural
I course of events, but in every part of our
State aud country labor is unemployed,
and almost in despair. A receut visit to
he interior of Penusy Ivauia has convinced
us that the worst accounts of destitution
among the sons of toil have not becn ex
aggerated. Those who have capital re
fuse to invest it until something is done
to stimulate business. Thoso who have
no capital are in tho greatest uncertainty
as to tho future. We do not stop to can
vass tho causes of tbi condition of things.
Ths necessity is imminent and immediate,
aud should b met by instant action. Va
know that the theory cf individual enter
prise, iu all such cases as tho present, is)
eencrally the best. Government can not
hood. IJut an extreme and exceptional
case like the present requires exceptional
and vigorous action. Our people havo
passed through a year of unexampled suf
fering. Great fortunes have melted away
