Pratt, ee ® resident at the mouth of Rogue river, who arrived last night ia the schooner Gold Bewch, we receive the startling news thet the Indians in that district have united witn e party of the hostile In- ‘cians above, and commenced » war of extermination against the white settlers. The a‘aticn at Big Bend, some filteen miles up the river, having been abandoned several weeks previous, the In- cians mace a sudden attack on Saturday morning, Feb. 28, upon the farms about four miles above the mouth, where some ten or twelve men of Capt. Poland’s company of volunteers were encamped; the remaider of the com- pany bemg absent at! 1 & ball on the 224, at the mouth of Regue river. ‘The fight is stated to have lasted nearly the whole of Saturday, end but few of the whites escaped to tell the story. Thefarmers were all kifled. It Is supposed there are now about 300 hostile Indians in the field, including those from Grave and Galaise creek ard the Big Meadows.
