—It is a gratifying fact to the friends of the American Colonization Society that in sending over 160 expeditions to Liberia, no serious casualty has happened either to vessel or emigrants. Special care has been taken to make their passage safe and comfortable, and kind Providence has given prosperity. The last expedition of the society left New York, June 19, with sixty-nine emigrants on board the barque _Liberia_ from Virginia, North Carolina and Florida. When four days out, in a heavy fog, she collided with an Austrian vessel, and, losing her bowsprit, put back for repairs. She left again, Monday, July 1st. —France has just appropriated 100,000 francs for a scientific expedition to Central Africa, under M. L’Abbé Debaize. He is a young man of thirty-three, of fine education and attainments, familiar with Arabic, Coptic and some East African languages; and having passed special courses in divinity, astronomy and natural history, much is anticipated from his investigations. He sailed from Marseilles about two months ago, and is now probably at Zanzibar, fitting out for the proposed journey across Equatorial Africa. * * * * * The Indian. We reprint the following from the N. Y. _Tribune_, as giving the best and most consecutive account of the reported outbreaks among the Indians of Oregon, Washington Territory and Idaho, which we have been able to find. It ascribes the origin of the difficulty to the lack and scantiness of appropriations for the Indian Service. We do not vouch for the exactness of the report. It accords with the dispatches received from day to day: The last report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs shows that the savage tribes of Idaho and Eastern Oregon, which are taking part, more or less, in the present war, number about 7,400 souls. They are capable of sending into the field 2,500 warriors; and the telegraph dispatches, printed above, indicate that about that number of savages have already joined the two great war parties which are menacing the settlements of that region, and with which a heavy battle may be fought any day now by the troops under command of General Howard. The census of the tribes is as follows: Fort Hall Agency Bannocks, Shoshones 1,507 Lemhi Agency Sheepeaters, Bannocks, Shoshones 940 Idaho Indians, not under an agent Pend d’Oreilles, Kootenais 600 Grande Ronde Agency 819 Malhewr Agency Piutes, Snakes 759 Umatilla Agency Walla-Wallas, Cayuses, Umatillas 849 Roving Indians on the Columbia, renegades, etc. 2,000
