2 @ur Mexican Correspondence. Matamoros, Mexioe, April 16, 1856. Moral Effects of the Revolution—Indignation of the Clergy-- Something New for Matamoros— Massacre of Indians, &c. By way of Vera Cruz you have doubtless reevived full partioulars of the capture of Puebla by the President Substitute, as also of the very patriotic manner in which he has applied to the vanquished the fourth article of the capitulation of Puebla, There is certainly » vast Gea! of difference between figuring in the army as gene- vals and ooionels, and having to serve tn {ts ranks, as in ‘this case, as common soldiers. Tost horde of traitors against the rights and liberties of poor Mexico certainly deserved {t, and the moral effect will be most beneficial. Let me call your attention to one fact reepecting the yebdellion which has Just been #0 completely destroyed, and ft is this: that, in consequence of the late law rega- Jating the administration of justice, the military, as also the clergy, were deprived of their fueros, or privileges, which exempted them from being tried by the common Jaw tribunals of the country. The immediate sesait was ® general outcry raised, by the clergy particularly, against it, who, headed by the Archbishop snd Bishops roundly asserted that they would not odey it ualess com manded by the Pope of Rome to do 9. They all pro- tested, but the government stood firm as adamant. Tho protests, published and circulated under the humble mame of ‘Pastoral Letters,”’ were inflummatory prosia- mations intended to cause a rebellion against the go rern- ment. They had the desired effect, and the resait was the treasons commiited by Uraga, Haro, Osstillo, Gui- tian, and some twenty other generals, aided and assisted Dy the curate of the village of Zacapoaxtla. They took possession of Puebla; tuey deciared » war in favor of the gacred religion of the country; they appealed to the fanaticism of the people; they collected in the city soma woven thousand combatants; they organized ba‘talions with the sacril gious name of ‘Sacred Legions,’’ and de- fied the power of the government soarcely organized. The chief trate appealed cirectly to the pacpie, and ‘the National Guards were soon in the field. A body of gome 13,000 men, rank and tile, approached Paebla, and Gefeated the rebels in several engazements betore the final surrender of the place. The victory was most com- piete. and the remnants of Santa Anna’s army completely annihilated, never in to be the oppressors of the country. These facts show that the fanaticlsm so much spoken of as existing in Mexico is not half as mush as a superfisial observer would suppose, and I appeal to the genuine history of this last revellion to corroborate my assertion. e ‘A committee, appointed by the city authorities, left ere on the 9th instant, to go to Ta upico and request the Governor to assume the responsibility of dvela ing this city a port of deposit, and atterwards request ths general government to sanction the measure, I scarcely believe ‘that bis Exosilency will ‘assume the responsibil 'y,”’ a la Jaekson, however great may be bis wishes to favor us, who would thankfuily receive avy small favors, calcula- ted. hike the measure proposed, to advance our pseantary interests.

For this latter purpore, one of his earliest measures will, {t {3 eid, be to farm the custom house duties with the acministration, as was done during the siege.

To Tue Forrors or Tas NaTionaL CER: — Having been decounced, without cause or justification, in rint avd om the stucp, om several oocasi ns, by Governor Stevens, and by Governor Curry and nis Legis lature, whe have demaned 0’ the President of the Uaited Siates wy removal from the command of the I) partment of the Pacific. and published io varions newspapers, an act of justice to myrelf bas induced meio presen’ you for pub.ication the ‘ollowing statement of facts in regard to the Indian war now waged in che Territories of Oregon and Washington. A year since I ordered Brevet Major Haller, with about 150 rank and file, to go as far as Fort Boise to give pro- tection rye m and Washing‘on Territories, and to demand the murderers of some twelve or thirteen emigrants vear that place the year before. ‘The major not only went to Fort ‘Boise, but one hun- dred ana fifty milks veyonc. He remained in that section of country until nar the close of September, 1805, when he re‘urned to his postat the Da'les, having previvusly captured and executed s number of the Indians concerned in the murders above alluced to. Shortly after his return, and early In October, he war cailed on by Mejor Rains to execute a similar mission against the Yasims [ndians, oceopying a portion of the coun'zy eatt of the Careade range of m:un'aias. It 1s said that the Yabimas, having become dirsaiisfied with the treaty made with them the sumuer before vy Gov. Stevens, devermined on war. This was bastened. as it would see, by some miners forcibly carrying away and ill treating some Yakima squaws. Tre Yekimas, according to ‘heir own story, complained of this wrorg to A. J. Bolon, sab-Indian agent, who wae at the time in the Yakima eountry, and demanded re- dress, An altereation tovk place,’ when the Indians threatened revenge. The agent in turn threatened it they executec their intentions, to send agtinst them the troops of the United States, If was under such circum- stances that the sgent and the Indians separate’. Toe former, bowever, was foliowed and overtagen by the Ya- kimas, when they cemarded to snow if he intended to send the troops of the United States against them? On answering them in the affirmative, as the Indisns say, they killed him, and afterwards, as reported. some miners cn their way to the Colville mines. On this information beirg conveyed to Major Raine, Brevet Mejor Heller was dirested to proceed against the Yakimas to chastise ther and Cemsrd the murderers of theagent, Bolon. Accord- ing'y, with one hundred and four rank end file, he pro- ceded on bis missicn, but without the precautions ne cessery against savage warfare. About six y miles from the Dalles, on emerging from a deep ravine, he found hirrself, a8 he reports. confronted by 1,500 Indians. Af: ter losing two men killed ani some thirten or fourteen weunded, one mortally, he escaped from his perilous oon dition to sp eminence on Which was neither wood, waier nor gress, He reported that he was surrounded by In cis d asked for » thousand men to relieve bin ‘ax communicated to the Dalles by a person woo succeeded in passing the Indians without being ob served. Relief was immediately ordered. In the mean- time, after remainirg on the hill thirty-six or fort; hours, water beirg incispensable both to men and mals, the Major determined to forze bis way to water. He broke up his excsmpment anc commenced his march for the strearo in his front. He met with no resist- ance, and after ailaying the thirst cf his men, horses, ano muler, he commenced his march towards the Dalles. In his eYort to make good bis retgeat he besame sepa rated frcm his rear guard, the front and rear taking diffs. t trails. The guard, supposing thet it was following the front of the column, continued its march towards the Dalles wibout interference or molestation from tne Ind This left the Major with ony forty effective men and the wounded and beggsge. With this amal) force he succeeded in making g od bis retreat, followed two days and nights by 1,500 Indians. I think the num ber greatly exaggerated. However this may be, under the circumstances | cid not consider such an enemy wgreatly to be dreaded. The repulse ot Major Haller created great excitement and alarm throughout Oregon and Warhng:on lest all the Indi e+ ia the Territo. ries should at once combine and come down upon the set- tlements. As soon as I was informed of Major Haller’s de‘eat, I ordered all the disposable troops at my command to the reat of war, and followed. At the same time I called upon the United States government tor at leas’ an addi- tionai regiment. This was promptly responced to, and the 9th regiment of infantry arrived early in January, but, owing \o the unusualiy severe wiater, could nyt enter upon a winter’s campaign. In the meantime Major Rais, who bed authority for such purposes, mace pre- paration for a second expedition against the Yakimas. He mustered, with the reinforcements which I sent bin, five huncred regulars, with three mountain-howi!zers, besices other artillery; an ample force, if properly di- rected, to have defeated sil the Indians {a the sountry. The Major, however, partaking somewnat of the alarm pervacing the country, insreased aad stimulated by poli- ica] demagegues, called on acting Governor Mason for two cempanies of vJun‘eers, waich was promptly and fi yorably resp nded to; and upon Governor Carry, of Ore- gon, for tour compar'es, which be refused, because, as he said, the O.egcnieas would not serve under Untied States cfficers. At the same time he called into the Term- torial service two mounted regiments—one to serve against the Incians in Washington Territory, and the otheragainst the Indians in Southern Oregon. Of the farmer, no part cfit, in any sense of the term, was necessary to celend the inhabiiants of Oregon against the Iadians in Wash- ington Territory, eset of the Carcade mountains, from wi om they had no danger whatever to appreend, Major Rais, having ¢ mpleted his preparations, with 350 re gulare and three mountain: howitzers, set out about the ‘Ast of Noverober fir the Yekima cuntry, followed by a! tompaniés Gf Governor Curry’s troops, commanded by Col. Nesmith. (no coubt a very capable and enter- pritizg officer), and@ about seveaty miles from the Dalle» met the Yekicas, who, after several skirmishes, without apy lees on either side, excepting one Indian killed and seaiped by an Indian who accompanied the troops of Major Rains, fled ever the mountains to the Yakima river, about ferty miles cistant; but ia consequence of the rnow, then fast fullicg, being several feet deep on the intervening mountains, the Mejor could not fol- low—at leaat. be so reported.

On bis return he crossed moun aios which be bed previously pasred, which were covered with snow from two to five feet deep. His command was orcered to ihe Dalles, and he reported to me ia erson op the 24th oc November.

Anxicus to establich a p Walla Walla order to prevent what followed—a war against the Walla Wallae ty the troops of Governor Curry—I ordered» ori- tioal inspection of all the treops and animals, whes it was discovered that many of tho soldiers were without shoes and proper clothing for the season; and tuat all the animals, with very few exceptions, owing to conmiaut service during the summer and fall, and especially in the last two expediticns of Majors Ratns and rendered unfit for rervice, I kad determined, however, if it was pow ible, to take possession of the Walla Walla ceuntry before winter had fairly esmmenced, not be- cause I considered it in any reepect necessary for the ¢efence or protecifon ot the inhabitants of Oregon or Warbingion Territory. The Indians in that region, two nondrea miles distant, could not pars the Cascade ravge of mountains, then covered with reveral feet cf snow. The crly route by which they ecuid reach the settlemrnta of Oregon was by the Dates, where we had a suffisient regular force to repel all the Indiang in Washington Territory. My object was simply to o engage, theve tribes and to prevent them from uni.irg with kimags, the authors of tue war. They nad pot yet taken part in the war, at it they had no: then killed a whixe man. To accomplish my purpose no time was to be lort. ‘Aceoraieg'y I airected pjor Cress, chief quartermaster in my staff, io provure, it practicable, the means of traneportation. This coula not be obtain. ed in Oregon or Washirgton without great delay and at on encrmous expenre, which the state of the was did not call for, cwing to the resources of the country being very much éxheus:ed by the large requisitions of Governor Curry to fitout his several expeditions. Tals compelled me to seek elrewhere for means of transporta Hence I cirected Major Cross to bave wagons, horses and mules sent from Benicia, and boats and iorage from San Fran- cisco to Vancouver. Before the animals, &c. arrived the river Corambia froze over. This ent off all commu: nication with the Dalies and the Incian country east of the Caseade mountains. For three weeks I was ice bound, not being able to communicate with the Dalles or San Francisco. Gov. Curry, however, bad brought two regiments of mounted men Inthe field at an enormove expense. No- thing bad yet beem accomplished by them, and certainly vot by the regiment iptenced to operate against the Indians in Waspington Territory. Sometbing hed to be done. A fignt with the Icdians, no matter whe: her friends or enen ies, waa indispensable to excite the sympathy of the nation, and expecially Congress, or the propriety of paying eontributionr, so’ profusely levied on the pele of Oregon, mignt be questicned. Aceordingly Col. Ne- emith was ordered by Gov. Curry with his command to warch sgainet the Walla-Walias, where Msjor Chinn, with four companies, bad been previously ordered. On an inspection of the horses of the Colonel’s command, hough but twenty days in the fi Na they were pro- nounced unfit for that rervice. Several companies, how- evor, were prepared, and, under the command of Lieut. Col. Kelly, « member of the Legirlatare of Oregon, joined Major Crinn, who, ixsteed of ging to Fort Weise Walle where he wan ordered by Gov. Curry, took post ou the Umatil'a, thirty miles cistaut, because, a4 he | there were one thourand incians in and about t26 fort. Although in this porition for several weeks, and fre- quran sending scouts within a mile or two af the In- cisvs, he wae neitber molested or interfered with. Disut. Co’. Keily, on joining Major Chinn, moved agmnat Fort Walla-Walla, but found no Indians \kere. He then moved up the river Touchét, where he was met >y the ehie’, Vin-Pin-mex-mex. with @ fing of truce, He raid he was for peace; that he did not wish to fight, that his peopis dic not with to fight, ard that i’ any of his young men had dene wrorg he was prepared to make restita- len.” If be could not retura the goods wrongfully taken, be would pay for them, being abuniently able to como. When the volunteers said they were in want of proviricns, he offered them cattle. He was rich in money and cattle, The v-lonteers replied he had better go pack and fight. He refi.ced, aod with nis companions, four (Lieut. Kelly nays elx) In number, was taken prisoner, #nd rext goarded to the volunteer camp, The volunteers then commenced the attack upon his people, which was cc ntinved for four days, without any great loss on either ede, when the Walla Wallar, having secured their wo- men end chi'dren, croreed Sonke river. The second or third cay of the engegement the volunteers barsarousl; viled Pin-pin-mox-mox and his companions. They took fiem the chiet’s head rome twenty realps, ont off bis ears ard Fence, and sent them aa trephies to thelr trienda in Oregon: Ae the volunteers, having no boats, could not cross drake river, the retreat cf the Indians closed thelr win- ter campaign ¢xcept to plonder the friendly Cayusen of ‘heir berres and cattle (See my letter dated ihe 12th February, 1866, to Gov.

Major out 226 cf their beat horses ware cap- lured ty the Inéiacs, It is veperted th.

Such have pa the results of ove of the most navies unnecessary, avd extravagant expedi ions ever fitted out in ibe United States, and or no’ other reason than to plunder the treasury of the United States aud to make political capital ror somebody. It could not have been projected for the éefence of the inbabitants of Oreg a, nor for the protection ot O-egonians in Washington Ter ritcry, for none resived there. What, them, could have been the object? Nothing but a crusede sgainst the ia. diens, end ® long war to enrich the country. If such was not the object, G v. Curry, instead of sending nis troops sgainat the Indians in Washington Territory, and beyond his jurisciction, would have sent all of them to Southern Oregon, where the war raged, and nowhere else in bis Territory. The Oregonians say that the war ‘is a qecennd to the country.” it would, however, Spree feom the Governor’s procla mation that he did send a regiment to Sou'hera Oregon; but, frcm all the izformation I have received from chat fection of country, Ser bave been of little or no service, so ‘ar as giving protection to the inbabitants; and yet Re war has been carried on between the volunteers sad je Indians in a most signally barbarous and savage manner. My information is derived from citizens and, regular efficers under my command, sad not from any of the civil or military functionaries of the Territory of Oregon. I have never been informed by any one, not even by the Gcvernor, of the miHtary wants ofthe territory. He bas never called on me for troops to defend it or ‘o protect the inhabitants from savage barbarity, although he bas, asit would appesr, Loa avoided all com- munication with me on the subject. | have not been un- mindful cf the condition and wanta of the Territory. 1 have not failed. as far as it was in my power, to defend end protect such 1s a8 were exposed and assailed by the Indians, and I have no doubt bat for tne indisoriai nate wartare carried on against them, and the massacres of several parties of friendly Indiams by the troops of Gov. Curry, the war would have long since been brought tos close in Oregon. Although the Indians are retalia ting with fearful vengeance on icnocent citizens for the murder in Ootober last, by Major Lupton and his party. of twenty five friendly Indions, eighteen of whom were women and children, all gciog to the military reservation at Fort Lane for tection; and notwithstanding the massacres on the 23d and 24th December last, when volun- teers murdered about forty unarmed friendly Indians, be- longing te the band of the chief Jake, who was among thy killed. I think, if the volunteers. who expact to be paid largely fcr their services, were withdrawn, and private war prevented, ] could soon end “he war in Rogua River Valle; indeed throughout Oregon and Washington; but the rmination of the Oregonians to ex.erminate the Ia- dians, which Iam wholly opposed to, if not discounte- panced by the United States government, may prolong the war almost indefinitely. Another Florida war may bebad in Rogue River Valley, owing to the mountainous charac- ter of the country. The same remark will apply to Puget Sound, where it is extremely difficult to follow the In- Gians in the cense forests of that region. Yet, by a pro- per and judicious course, the war may be brought to a close, when, by establishing posts at proper points, a re- currence of the past migh: be prevented; but to do this, I repeat, the extermination of the Indians should beaban- doned. No doubt they could be exterminated, but it would cost from @fty to one hundred millions of dollare, besides thousands of innocent and vaiuabdle lives, Still, with all the difficulties presented, and staring usin the face, Ido not cespair. With eigut companies of regular troops in Rogue River Valley, and anotner on the way, with not to exceed two hundred warriors in arms, in creared to that number by the barbarous conduc: ot the- volunteers towaros the friendly Indians, and seven com- panica in Puget Sound, where there not over one uncred and fifty in arms against the whites, command ed by active, vigilant and intelligent officers, I cannot but hope that the war in those two sections will soon be brovght to a close, when we will meet with no difficulty in bringirg the Indians to terms east of the Cascade range of mountains. To show how determined the people of Oregon are to exterminate the Incians, {' is only necessary to represeat their corduct towarcs four hundred friendiy Totisas Weiting on the military rererve at Fort Lane to be con- cuctea to the coast range reservation. Capt. Smith commanding at that post, with two companies of regu- lars, reported to me that it took a large part of ‘his commard to prevent the cf'izens from murdering those four hundred Indians. I have deen informed by those whose character for truth and veracity is not to be questioned that meetings of the cit'zens of Oregon had been held, when it was resolved if the attempt was made to conduct those Indiens to the coast reserve, they wculd not only kill them, pu! all who might aceompany them. After tbe Indiaxs recently etart- eq for the reserve, although escorted by over 100 soldiers, they were followed by a citizen, who shot onecfthe In Giens, declaring at the same time he intended to follow them ard kill all he could, Many and similar cases he been reported. I regret that Iam compelled to any tha such conduct is too mush encoarsged by pe-sons hoiding high cffices under the government of the United States; and because I bave opposed this lohumen snd barbarous practice, and the wholesale plundering of the treasury ot the United States, which there is no circumstances to jus. tify, I have been cenounced by the Governors of both Territories and the Legislature of Oregon. The Jatter bas cemanced of the Prericent of the United States my removal from the command of the Pacific department To discover how much truth is contained in tle charger preren‘ed againet me in the memorial to the President it will cnly he nec?rsary to read this communication. I am, however, surprived w fird that the Legislature does nut know the boundarits of its own Terricory. Walla-Walls is in Washingtcn and notin Oregon Territory. No citi zens were there except two or three besides those attach- ed,'cr had been attached, to the Hudson Bey Company, and there were mostly half-breeds or Canadians. It is well known that they are in no danger 0° being killed 'by the Incisns, All not Americans, or Bostons, as the Ia- ians call them, not fouod in arms against them are zeeeeter? at least they are in no danger of beiog wile: them. Min eoneluston, it oply zemains for me 0 notice a letter est it should create false impressins and mislead the public, cf I, J. Stevens, Governor of Washingwn Terri tory, dated the 8th of March, 1856, and pub.isoed in Su Fisneiseo. The Governor, in his letter of appeal to the citizens of San Francisco, would induce them to believe that there were not to exceed 900 regulars in Washington and Oregcn, and that there were but four companies of regulars at one point in Puget Sound. At the cate of his letter there were five companies of regulars acti ratrg sgainst less them two hundred warriors in arm pgsinst the whites, and rix days after eeven compant 600 strong, uncer the ¢irection of Lieut. Col. Casey and Mejor Garnett. At the date ot his letrer, instead o! 900, ay he arseria, there were 1,000 regulars, and at this tie 2,000. Of the thirty-three companies in the Pacific ce partment twenty-seven ave cperating a Oregon ani ‘Washington, distributed as follows, viz: Nine in South- ern Oregcn, 700 strong. actively operating against cr tainly not toexceed 200 warriors in arms against tve whites; seven companies, as before mentioned, in Puget Scund, with less than 200 warriors in arms ost the .; one company at Vanvouver and ten companies at the Dalles, under the command of Col. George Wrigat. of the Oth infantry. The latter will be efficiently andI trust succesfully employed inst the Indiens east of the €sscade rarge of mountains, as soon as the season will permit, that i, as econ as grass can be had to support animal:—a force amply sufficient to terminate the war Ul parts of the two Territories, and afterward: to prevent past occurrences, if’ the volunteers eculd be withdrawn’ and private war prevented; Dut as long a8 Governors of Territories make war and exercise powers, 98 I believe, un- kncwn to the President of the United States, and individ- usls raise volunteers and rake war on the Indias when- ever they please, and Congress will pay the expense, ro long we tories. M have war in Wesbington end Oregon Terri It is raid by intelligent men that the expense of Curry’s army will amount in serip {rom to four mil 8. \f Congress should fot the bill, some Governor of snother Territory will make a bill ot ten mi!- ions of dollars. I do not know how the question will be consi ered. One thirg, however, is cert: that it isan example which, if countenanced by the U States go- vernment, may, when least expected, lead to no less ¢m- barraesing than disastrous reeults. have the bcnor to be, with considerations of the highest resgect, your obedient servant, JOHN E.
