the bidding will be spirited and brought down 10 the closest margin. Mr. Chan. Butler has not yet arrived, though he is expected by Wednesday morning. A. M. Puett, Esq., Trustee on the part of the State, has been here for several days, part of the time confined to his room by indiaposition. Col. Blake has recently returned from Washington at which place he wascalled to attend to the interests of the canal, and he brings buck ihe good news of ihe paissgeof a bill through both Houses ol Congress, granting 60 or 80 thousand acres of land more to this very important work. This land was claimed and obtained as belonging to the original grant, and is, we understand, to make up tha deficit between a •traight line and the present ainuosities of the canal. This, of course, will materially tid the early prosecution of the caual to its touthcrn terminus.
We notice also, that Mr. J. L. Williams, the chief engineer, is here, and the whole corps busily engaged in making out plana, tpeci flea lion*. «Jtc., &c. We think if lettings came often, thrse gentlemen would have but little time for refreihing sleep—so also with the Board of Trustees.
Before the lapw of a great many months, we hope to have the pleasure of announcing the arrival of a fleet of canal boats at the port of Terre Hattte. at which time we will take great pleasure in celebratiug the event ia tny appropriate manner.

of the horrid massacre: FORT VANCOUVER,7th Dec., 1847. GEO. ABERNETHY, Esq.: SIR—Having received intelligence last night, by special express, from Walla Walla, ol the destruction of the Missionary settlement at Waiilatpu, by the Cayuse Indians of that place, we hasten to communicate the particulars of ihat dreadful event, one of the most atrocious which darkens the annals of Indian crime.
Our lamented friend, Dr. Whitman, his amiable and accomplished lady, with nine other persons, have fallen victims to the fury of these remorseless savages, .vho appear to have been instigated to this appalling crime by a horrible suspicion which had laken possession of their superstitious minds, in consequence of the number of deaths from dysentery and measles, that Dr. Whitman was silently working the destruction of their tribe by administering poisonous drugs under the semblance of salutary medicines. I With a goodness of heart and benevolence truly his own, Dr. Whitman had been laboring incessantly since the appearance of the measles and dysentery among his Indian converts, to relieve their sufferings, and such has been the reward of his generous labors.
A copy of Mr. McBean's letter herewith, will give you all the particulars known to us, of this indescribably painful ^lilent.
Mr. Ogden, with a strong party, will leave this place as soon as possible for Walla Walla, to endeavor to prevent further evil and we beg lo suggest lo von the propriety of taking insiant measures for the protection of the Itev. Mr. Spal-

FORT* NE£ PERCES, NOV. 30, 1848. To the Board of Managementi GENTLEMEN: It is my painful task to make you acquainted wilh a horrid massacre which took place yesterday at Waiilatpu, about which 1 was first upprised eariy this morning, by an Amerilean who had escaped, of the name of
Hall, and who reached this half naked 'and covered with blood. A? he started ai the onset, the information 1 obtained was not satisfactory. He, however, assured me that the Doctot and another man were killed, but could not tell me the person who did it. and how it originated. 1 immediately determined on sending my interpreter and one man to Dr. Whitman's. to find out the truth, and if possible lo rescue Mr. Mansan's two sons, and aiiv of the survivors. It so happened that before the interpreter had proceeded half way, the two boys were mei on their way hither, escorted by Nicholas Finlay, it having been previously settled among the Indians that these boys should not be 1 killed, as also the American women and I children. Peloquoit is the Chief who recotnttiended this measure. I presume you are well aoquaihted that fever and dysentery has been raging here, and in this vicinity, in consequence of which a great uumberof Indians have been swept away, but more especially at the Doctors place, where he attended upon the Indiians. About thirty souls, of ihe Cayuse tribe, died,one afier another, who eventu-

Immediately on the reception of the message from the Governor, the Legislature passed a law, authorizing the Governor to issue his proclamation for raising 500 men by voluntary enlistment, for ihe purpose of chastising the Indians. Commissioners were appointed to negotiate a

The rifte guard was drawn up to receive him, and as he passed, and they presented arms to their beloved commander for the last time, they shed tears like children, ami so affected was the old hero, that he could scarce get into the carriage.
