It may be proper to state, says the Portland Advertiser, that the substance of this sketch was published in a journal of limited circulation, some thirteen years ago, when there were fewer people in Oregon than now. The author of it, one of the editors of this paper, bopes ite republication now, may 00¢ be without interest to the general reader, Fort Walla Walla which was destroyed by the Indiansin the war of 1855, was among the earliest posts established west of the Rocky Mouatains by the Northwest Company, and with the union of the two companies it of course passed into the control of the Hudson’s Bay Company. A. McKinley, Esq., then of the H. B. Company now a citizen of Yamhill county, and much esteemed by all who know him, was in charge of Fort Walla Wallafor several years, and it is our present purpose to speak of an exciting occurrence that took place there during the period of his administration of its affairs, The Indians around this post, the Nez Perces, Cayuse, and Walla Wallas, were of abrave and warlike character, this latter feature has been considerably softened however by their contact with civilization, Still they are distinguished for their courage, and the Nez Perces for some traits nobler than this, Mr. Pamburn, the predecessor of Mr. McKinley, had experienced some harsh treatment from the Indians, having on one occasion been overpowered aud bound by them in an endeavor to oblige him to give a higher price for their peliries, ia which however they failed, as Mr. Pambruo’s mental power proved decidedly superior to his physical strength. It was in the summer of 1843, we believe that a young chief, the son of the principal chief of the Walla Wallas, one day entered the Fort, and appropriated to himself some articles of little value—a piece of wood, if we mistake not, from a lot of which, lying thereia the Iodians had been in the habit of taking pieces whenever they chose for the purpose of making whip handles. The practice had been positively forbidden, as the wood was of a particular kind and of service to the company. It was ia an expostulation with the young chief, that a young Mr. T——, a clerk in the company’s employ, received a signal affront which occasioued a rencounter, and the chastisement of the Indian, At this time, there were . perbaps half a dozen whites at the Fort, and although the buildings were enclosed by . “stockades,”” yet there were no means of effectually securing the entrances, the stock, ade was of a recent construction, and the . gates had not been made, nor were they un. tila year after, Consequently it was, comparatively speaking, a defencelesg position. Thus it was when on the next day, the Indians, some of each tribe, crowded into the establishment to revenge themselves io the . death of Mr. T——. Talking could achieve . nothing, every consistent means was resort_ed to in vain to appease the turbulent multitude. The men belonging to the Fort were at work in the field, even could their presence have effected any good in the is. sue. The Indians were brandishing their weapons and seemed to be fully aware of their superiority, and disposed to exercise it Inasummary mauner, Already had Mr. McKinley suffered indignities, and young T-—— was defending bimself as well’ as he , was able, with his back against the wall, when by one of those brilliant and lucky . thoughts, generally occasioned by great emergencies, the whole appearance of things was changed, and the object of the savages defeated. It was at this juncture, that Mr. McKinley suddenly started from the crowd that surrounded him, {into the adioining room, the store room, seized upon a keg of powder, a steel and flint, returning, instantly placed the keg in the centre of the room ; and koocked in its head—it was all the . work of @ moment, There he stood over the opened keg of powder, with a flint and stecl in either band, and adense mass of Indians around him, “Now,” said he, “kill him, if you will.” pointing to T——, “but that moment I kill you all! Twoofus can die where there are many braves to die with us,” _ The proposed slaughter was on too extensive & scale for the Indians, a panic seiged them they turned in dismay and rushed precipitately from the house. Thus, by presence of miod and cool determination was the effusion of blood prevented, and the authority of Mr. McKinley as ehief of the post greatly augmented. It is needless to state that differences were soon adjusted to the satisfaction of all concerned, = ee en STaTistTics go to prove that tea is used mere or less by one-half of the human race . 500,000,000 of people.
