To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Haller, comprised of over 100 men, with a mountain howitzer, had failed ; that "Maj. Haller was surrounded, and had called for reinforcements ;" that he had " ordered all the United States disposable force into the lield immediately ;" that as "this force was questionable to subdue the Indians, " :he therefore called upon him (Governor Curry) for four companies of volunteers and upon Governor Mason for two. But General Wool attempts to get round this material point by asserting that "the Major ...(Raines) partook somewhat of the alarm pervading the country. " If this were true, does it furnish any reasonable excuse for Congress refusing to pay the volunteers thus called into service, which seems to be the main object of General Wool's extraordinary publications? But was there no cause for this alarm ? Had not Agent Bolon been brutally murdered by these Indians ? Is it not a fact that Mattice and other miners had been massacred? And had n-ot the Superintendents of both Territories officially reported the fact that there was a powerful comb' ination of several of these tribes for the " purpose of ex terminating" the whites ?
