Eduer of the Star > Justice to the peovie of egon, and to those who reside in different portions of the United States who entertain maiseonceived views in relation to the war in Southern Oregon, induces me to write to you, for the purpose of giving you a plain, unvar bished statement of some of the factz connect- ed with this war ag they exist. But before 1 proceed, I will say, that it is not strange that there should be prejudices existing averse to our interests throughout the land, when we have thoze amongst us who wilfully and ma liciously make false representations concerning this war—men with hearte grown black in in- famy, end consciences su seared by corruption asto be lost to any sense of burasnity or sympa thy for the weak and deferceless of our country There are but few of this class, who have 80 richly merited the appellation of ~ traitors’’ to their country and her citizens—who have rendered themselves so totally unworthy the Dame they bear as American citizens—yet, although the number is limited, they have wielded an influence with the authorities at Warhington city, which, if not counteracted, must prove disastrous to the interests cf this Territory, 2s hundreds of our citizens bare contributed their all to assist in prosecutirg this war, since that was the only alternative left for us. Jt has been stated, and is generally believed by a great many persons who are personally unacyaainted with the true history of this war that the whites have been the aggrersipg par ty, and ‘they cousidered tbe United States Treasury a legitimate object«f plunder, ’’ but we are able to show that there haz been astate of war existing on the part of the Indians since tho treaty of 1553, and that the tomahawk of the savage has drank the bieud of over fifty of our citizens in Southern Oregon since that treaty, before we took up arms in defence of our lives and property, in October last; that they had frequently cut cff small parties, kill- ing them ana mutilating their bodies in the most horrible manner; and there never hus beon a period in the history of Oregon when such transactions wore not of almost daily oc- currence. In the month of July, 1855, a band of Rogue River Indians killed ten or twelve white men in the vicinity of Klamath river, and then re- treated to the reserve on Rogue river, to which plece they were followed by three companies of volunteers raised in the mines for the pur- pose of avenging the wrongs perpetrated upon their fellow miners by the ruthless savage Wheu the murderers were demanded of them, they refused to give them up, in the most peremptory manner, and said they were ready tor war; und had it not been for the interce-- sions of the people of Kogue river valley, they would have wreaked a summary vengeance upon the fou! murderers, which they most chiy merited. I went iy-elf, at the golici- ion of the citizens and Dr. Ambr the Indian Agent at that place, to the command- ants of companies, and begged them to desist {told them that our grain in the field was Tipe for the harvest; that we were not prepared tur war, and that we would cnly resort to it in the last extremity. When those cflicers hoard the frequent importunities of the cit:- zens to withdraw with their forces and nut strike a blow which would inevitebly cauga their homes in « few days to present nothing but a xc of de very gallantly “blooded murderers tu go unpunished an harmed. But it was better thus, for if a war had been commenced then, notonly all the improvements in this section of couutry would have been burned, put ailthe giaia in Southern Oregon woula have bee epto by the flames, thereby rendering the people of Rogue river valley de-tituie of the means of subsistence Thus things passed on until about the first of Uswher, 1595, when the Indians murdered two men on the Syskcin m where- upon Capt H ith a company of volun teers, fullowed on t trail of the murderers rauch, when they were atiacked, the Indians opening the fire A battle ensued and Major Lupton fell Oar forces fuund that the Indians were fully pre pared for them; and, also, that they fought desperately. Atter routing the Indians they went into the reach, and found various ar. ticles, which had been stolen from the whites: end also the scalp cf a white man, which had been taken off only a few days before I should have 1, however, that before coming to the up of the Indians, they found where they had butchered sevcral head of cattle which they bad stolen and driven cif from the whiie ‘This is the affair that was so disgracetully represented as being # cold-blovded butchery «f peaceable and inoffensive ne. ese Indians went to Fort Lane, (which they did. immediately followed by the volunteers,) and called on Capt Smith, of the United States army, he refused to receive them as friendly Indians, and drove them away. This is the nature of the first demonstration on the part of the whites for redress, and we leave it with a candid people to say whether this was justifiable on our part, or whether we had the right to resist the foo when he was continually waging a war with our citi- zena, plundering their houses, and driving off their stock For evidence that this state of things did exist I will refer you to the letter ot Dr. Awbrose, Indian agent, bearing date September 39, 1559. About tae 10th of October, the enemy made @n attack upon the citizens living on the road from the Walamette valley to as river, and for seversl miles burned all the houses, barus, grain, & , and killed all the inhabit- ants wiibout respect to or sex, except Mrs. Harris and daughter. ‘Tne people of southern Uregon then petitioned Governor Curry to ca!l out volunteer troops to subdue the enemy. Accordingly, on the 15th of October the Gov- ernor issued his proclamation calling for aine companies of volunteers to aid in a war then existing againet the Rogue River and other lodians. The people of southern Oregon re- sponded to the gall nobly, and ina few days the required number of companies werein the field, and on tke 3ist of October a portion of them, and Capt Smith’s company of United States troops, met the foe in the Grave Creek Hilla, and fought the battle known here as the *“ Battle of Hungry Hill.’’ In this battle the Indians fought most desperately, killing and wounding over forty of our men; and, from the nature of their position it was i: possible for our forces to dislodge them or gain any material advantages over them. After two days’ hard fighting both parties left the field. The loss was about equal on both sides. We lost thirteen in kiiled, and thirty wounded This is the battle that was published in nu merous papers in different portions of the United States as being nothing but a farce, gotten up by us forthe purpoee of creating a sympathetic feeling in our behalf that we might be sure of being paid for our services, aad that no such battle wasever fought. How shameful that there are men in this Ter- ritory, holding high and responsible stations, who are so jost to a sense of truth and vera- city, and so ungenerous. as to represent matters in a light which has lod mon to such erroneous conclusions. - After this, the war was prosecuted with as much effect as itgras possible to do under the circumstances, as one of the most rigorous win- ters closed in upon us, and in order to follow the enemy to his strongholds, we were obliged to march over the most mountains, through almost “ eternal snows,” which ren- dered it impracticable to prosecute the war to as speedy a close as might have been done under other circumstances. During the winter the volunteers met the © did so, leaving the c PD enemy frequently and drove him from his sition, but it vas impossible for them to low up his retreat in such a manner as to render their services as effective as they might have done had it not been for the ine! of the season and scarcity of ammunition which bas attended us through the war In the month ef January last, Mr. Drew, Quar- termaster General for the Territory, sent an agent to San Francisco to purchase ammuni- tion. After he had reached that place and made the purchases, the merchants from whom they were made refused to let the articles gu from representations made to them by General Wool. that if there was any war whatever ex- isting in Oregon it was one. That it was a war waged by the whites against the innocent and defenceless Indians, and that such debts would never be paid Under the influence of these, and like representations, the agent totally failed to accomplish the ob- jects of bis mission, and returned home. The troops remaining in the field almost destitute of ammunition, and as a necessary conse- quence almost powerless, only being able a portion of the time to keep the foe out of the fronticr settlements Here I will remark that mest of the ammunition used during the war in Southern Oregon, was purchased with mo- ney advanced by individuals for that urpose. bn the 24th of March there were three for- parties of Indians discovered by the vol ers, and driven back with considerable loss to the latter. Ove of the parties was dis- covered on Cow Creek, and defeated by Major oatchan’s command; another on the bead waters of the Coquille river by Captain Buoy’s company, and toe third party on the same jay, by Major Bruce’s command, in Illinois valley e Theso parties were sent out for the purpose ef robbing and burning the houses of the set- ders, killing then and driving off their stock, @ practice which bes been common ever since thore were settlers in that portion of the coun- tr, The Indians then fell back to the meadows on Rogue river, one of their stongest posi acd prepared to make a strong stand, having collected their entire forces at that point We immediately made arrangements to march against them, and on the 24th of April we reached a point near to where their combined forces were encamped, but they were on the opposite of the river, and we found that they had selected a very strong position for defence; but by discreet management of the officers in command, and moving in the night, we suc- ceeded in gaining a point from where we opened a deadly fire upon them early on the morning of the 27th of April, and after two days hard fighting, we succeeded in routing them, and taking from them the position which had served as their headquarters dur- ing the war. Un the 2d day of May, a military post was established at the Meadows, and a portion of the command went oat for supplies. The re- maining portion stopped to guard the post until Lueir return, as it was on the main tho- roughfare o: the Indians from the Lower Rogue river out to the settlements in the val- ley. Un the 26th of May, (having succeeded in procuring supplies, which was very difficult and tedious,) we marched down the river towards the wig Bend, the Indians having fied in that direction. Early on the morning of the 23:h, we made an attack upon a large party of the enemy and gained a signal vic- tory over them, kiiling and taking prisoners a great many of them. On the 20th, we met old Joho s band, and were attacked by them. A fight cnsued, in which we were completely victorious; we killed several of his men in this engagement When we met him he had jast drawn off his forces from the Big Bend of Rogue river, (which was only eight miles be- low,) where he had surrounded Capt. Smith of the United States army. and killed and wounded thirty-one of his men the day before. Var command then proceeded to the Big Bend, where we found Lt Col. Buchanan with a comand of United States troops. Upon our arrival here we found that two or three of the most prominent bands of hostile Indians had made a precipitous retreat (when we made the attack on them on the 28th of May,) to the camp of Col Buchanan and call- ed upon Gen. Palmer, who was there, for terms of peace, and that they had given up their arms and surrendered unconditionally. We theo proceeded down the river to the coast, and during the march we took a number of prisoners on the river and drove the remainder into the comp ef the regulars to an unconditional sur- render. We ranged along the coast for several days below the mouth of Kogue river, and succeeded in defeating the Indians in several engagements and bringing them all to our terms. By the 25th day of June, 1556, all of the hostile Indians in Southern Uregon, except Old Jobn and 35 of his band, had surrendered. Gen. Palmer. superintendent of Indian af- fairs, turned them over to the regular troops, and they were taken in their charge to the reserve. The volunteers left the field at this time, our service having expired; but before we left the field, John bad agreed that he would come inonthe same terms that the other Indians had. After our forces had with- drawn, however, old Johnconeluded he would no! come in under that agreement, and Col. Buchanan then agreed with him that if he would come in and deliver up his arms, that he nor nonecf bis men should be put upon trial for any outrages or murders committed by them, and that they should retain all the stock and plunder they had taken from the whites previous to thistime Mr. Nathan Ol- ney, one of the Indian agents, and a man of unquestioned truth aud veracity, is my au- thority for this statement However much the couree of our executive officer, or the vol- unteers, may be censured, we can say that there vever has been during this war, an agreement made by them with the enemy #o disgraceful to the American people as this This agreement was made by Col. Buchan- an with Jobn, when he was well aware of the fact that this band was composed of despera- does from other tribes to a great extent, and they were deeper dyed in crime than any band which had participated in this war. As to the charges that were made by Gen. Wool and Gen. Palmer, that this war wasa speculative scheme gotten up by the people of Oregon, thinking “the treasury of the United States was a legitimate object of plun- der,” &¢ , I will only say that it bears no semblance of truth or reason on the face of it. It is not reasonable to ey that men who were making from $4 to $16 per day at their acoustomed labors, would have created a dis- turbance with the indians for the purpose of going into the ranks and enduring more me theordinary hardships and eS a . dent ‘to ® life on the tented field,”’ farnish- ing their own horses, eyuipmente end arms for $4 per day in the perspec ‘The territorial troops bave conducted them- ing this war, and whatever selves gallantly during i : credit is due for so successful a termination it is due to the volunteers.
