Our files of California contain sufficient intelli- gence of Indian outrages to create the appre- hension that considerable trouble with the sav- ages in that quarter will ensue. The most important feature of this incipient war is the attack upon the command of Col. Steptoe, respecting which yesterday's Star contained all the important particulars. The alleged provecation to this onslaught, as communi- cated by Father Joseph, a mis: nary anong the Cwur d’Alenes,”’ is a report circulated among the Indians that a road was to be cut through their country from Fort Benton to Fort Walla Walla; mination to resist project. and they express a deter- the carrying out of that Before encountering the Indians Col. Steptoe was warned of their intention to attack his command, but be could not credit the report; and even if he had, and had acted upon it, it is doubtful whether anything weuld have been gained by such conduct, as he was then within reach of the hostile Indians, who were all mounted, well armed, and determined to en- gage the troops. The Oregonian, of May 2th, speaks thus of the a fair : “ The attack was evidently unexpected by Col Steptoe, and the disastrous consequences, the Tesult of a well arranged stampede assault, by Which the animals and bag, Col.

The court concluded its session several days ago, but the decision is jast now made public. It appears that Com. B. was found guilty on all the ebarges and specifications, and sentenced by the court to be dismissed from the service.
