INTRRVIEW BITWEEN GARRETT AND HIS WIFE. Mrs. Garrett was farnished with comfortable quar- ters, and detained at the station house on Thursday night, in consequence of her attempt at self-destruc- tion on that day. She was kept within view of the officers during the night, to prevent any farther effort to that end. In cot ce of her frantic state, it was not deemed ad: to accede to her request to be permitted to visit her husband on the brig. On the intercession, however, of a generous: hearted lady of our city, who sympathised with her in her affliction, she was permit to go on board, in company with the lady and one or two gentlemen. She remained on the brig with her husband about an nour and a half. The interview is said to have been most affecting. Their conversation was wholly ina whisper. Few words were interchanged, im consequence of the ex- treme agitation of both. Mrs. Garret* particularly, was greatly moved. She sobbed and wept daring nearly the entire interview. Governor Johnson went sboard daring the inter- view, exchanged a few words with the prisoners, shook handa with them on ig, and came ashore in mine with Mrs. Garrett, assisting in her ae port. ting of Mrs Garrett and ner husband, although affecting, was effected quiet)y, and occurred about ten minutes before the prisoners were brought out vo be taken to the place of execution. When tne ies ascended the scaffold Sheriff White asked rare he wished to say anything to the crowd.

While he hesitated, the ‘tarned to Garrett and asked him if he desired to say anything. He an- swered in a firm voice that he wished to say a few words, and promptly up to the railing on the north side.

The prisoners immediately, at the request of the sheriff, commenced drawing off their couts and ad- josting their shirt collars. They then stepped upon the drop, immediately under the tyne when, wito their own assistance, the » ing, white shroude were placed upon them and bound round their waists with a white band. Their hands and legs were then tied, and during the operation they gave directions as to the manner of the operation, whether too tight or too loose. Kelly wore gioves, Garret had none on. The eun was shining brightly, and Kelly beckoned to one of the officers to put ou the cap. The black hood was then drawn over his face and tied under the chin. At this time an officer approached with the hood towards Garrett. As soon as it was ready to be drawn on be turned his face towards the crowd, and, nodding, said, “ Farewell—farewell all!” From beneath the hood of Kelly, also, came the word “Farewell.” The condemned having previously shaken bands with the Sherff and several of the persons on the scaffold, inclading the Rev.

We have the Creeceut City Herald of June 18 and the Humboldt Times of Jnne 21. The only news of importance is contained in the Herald, which confirms the news recently received here by way of Jacksonville, O. T, that an ment had taken place at the Big Meadows, between the United States forces, under Col. Buchanan and the Indians. The Crescent City Herald says:-— Mr. Thompson, the expressman, arrived in town yesterday, and informs us that an cxares hed ieached Sailor on Sunday last, trom Resteny being intelligence that a couriey had arrived there despatches from Major ——, from Col. Buchanan’s command. A great battle had been fought at the Big Meadows. Indians, number- ing some three hundred warriors, under ‘Old John,” the Regulars and Volunteers, under Col. Bu- chanan, atthe Big Meadows on Thursday last, and had an engagement, in which the Indians lost forty killed, (she wounded not known,) and one hun- dred and twenty-five were taken prisoners. The whites killed were ten. ‘Old John” is sup to be among the slain, and if the report should prove correct, we do not hesitate to say that the war will be terminated immediately, as he was the only chief who refused to sutrender. “Limpy,’” “George” and the balance of the red devils bave started for the Yamhill reservation. nd Deaths, MARRIED, e Bomart.

Our San Franetsco Correspondence. Saw Fraworsco, July 3, 1856 End of the Indian War in Oregon and Wash- ington. The steamer Columbia has just arrived from Ory gon, and brings us the gratifying that he war in Oregon and Puget Sound is at an end. We understand that Majer General Wool has re- ceived reports from Lt. Col. Casey as late as June 20, and from Lt. Col. Buchanan as late as the 24th, The former commands in Puget Sound, and enys that the war is certainly finished in that district. It may, however, be renewed by the citizens and the volunteers killing the friendly Indians, which too fi Uy happens without cause or justification. Theat. Colonel Buchanan reports that the Indians in Rogue River Valley have surrendered, and are on their way to the reservation, where they will AT pvp eof wy pee By troops. It will be recollected that the war in Oregon existed nowhere but in Southern Oregon or Rogue River Valley. 11 existe no longer. aes Colonel Wright, of the %thn Tfantry, is in the Ya- al ‘ prt A the war. The colonel writes tse be will very soo compel the Indiane to eve for peace or anye them out of their country. He may, however, be delayed by the schewesof Governor Stevens, Superintendent of Indisu Atairs, who has no desire w see the war brought to a close by the regular troops. To less than three months aud « half, after his troops commenced operations. General Wool, in all probuhility, will have tert nated the war, which would eieriees been commenced, 5? the govern ors aud the governed of Oregon and Weshugton Ler- ritories hud been half as anxious for peace as they were lor war. Captain Clary, Assistant Quarter master, just from Fort, Orford, informs us that (Governor Curry’s troops, on taking thei Gepartara te mm that place, by order, it is d, of the Governor, left their mark, by burning several housea and greatly alarai- ing the citizens in the neighborhood. We take the following from the Times of the 21st:—The news from the North is, that Colonel Wright is endeavoring to make treaties, Report says that 300 women and children have been sent in to the Dalles by the Indians. What this act por- tends we do not undertake to raf It may be favor- ble to peace, or it may be an Indian ruse to have wnother opportunity to murder our white citizens. Governor intends to ‘eave on the next steamer, for Washington city. . Colonel B. Stark informs us that he will accom- Bone ie Gerernoe on his contempiated trip to ington. We learn from Mr. Powers, that the new light house has arrived at Cape Disappoinunent. Some two and a half years ago, a at house wax erected, ut it war too sinall for the lantern intended to be sed init. The large light bas arrived, and the ituptrgfueed "ate lanes coo Re fu: . ‘on is one of the Heke ornjontan coca we Oregonian contains the following letter from the roles twill be lone that it effectually dis- ves prosione reperhy in relation to Vol. Wright ing killed:3e4 pack train came in ‘yesterday, hav- ing lett Col. Wright’s camp the 9th. "The fort and bridge across the Nutchess river, were finished as they report, and Col Wright was to cross the 10th. Much talk, it seems, has veen had about peace, by Indiana visiting camp. Kamiakin had promised from time to time to come over, but had no’ done so. Feventy or eighty Indians (including Clouchmen and children,) had escaped froin Kamiakin and came to Col. Wright, who sent them in company with the ack train. They say Gen. Palme sent them to amiakin, who claimed them as his people. The Yakimas treated them very badly. The chief would not allow them to leave, until they stole away from him. There are others will leave the hostile camp as soon as they can get their families away. Of the death of Captain Hembree, these Indians say, the Indians that attacked Horabree’s party were justabour to retreat, when they saw the Bostons run, then they rushed on. Capt. H. killed one In- dian and wounded another, being left by his men. They say he was but slightly wounded, and when the Indians came up he plead for his lite. The Indians hesitated, and well nigh concluded to spare him, because he had been so left by bis men, but finally killed him. This is the story of these Indians, who were then in the hostile camp, aud doul know. Take it, asthe Indian statement, for what it ia worth. Hostile Indians fish, as I understand, all nn oe Nachess and Yakima rivers, and bring {n &: and sell the soldiers daily. The Oregonian says:—Messrs.
