That many of these emigrants will be disap. pointed no one can doubt. They are entirely unacquainted with mining,but have read the highlf colored pictures of White Pine, drawn by correspondents, in which the country is represented to “De full of silver; that they walk upon silver and are surrounded by silver. They believe that the harvest is ready, and they have only to come, gather the silver, and return with fortunes. » These fully restored between ourselves and pearance at their departure mean to be in the future ever friendly, but other tribes around are not disposed to be so. I hope to beable to send you a copy of of the Sitka Zimes, about to be estab= lished by Mr, Thos. J. Murphy and oth. ers, and which promises to be a wgpicy little sheet.

The Hudson Bay Company, howevér, made the purchase, knowing it would be a balm to the relatives of the deceased to. have-it interred with Christian usages. The past summer outrages have been committedby the same Indians. The schooner Black Diamond was attacked atid robbed on her way. up here, and in the loss of the’ ill fated Growler last Spring there’ is sufficient. evidence to show that they plundered, and more than probably murdered the supposed shinwreckad_ere« cola DESI EOC wil received until 10 o’clock, on Bsa par March 20th, at the office .

It. * ‘ On-examination it was ‘ascertained beyond doubt that the Kake tribe had. brutally murdered the two-men, and the Sitka Indians report that one of them had actually been cut to pieces while yet living. As may be supposed, such news has fired the garrison which now is clamorous for revenge. Gen. Davis has already sent after the boat and bodies of the unfortunate men, with a demand to have the criminals given up. If such is not acceded to, the Saginaw will be instantly dispatched to fire up. a "yesterday wo get ‘the “following : No enter. the new district, and find -it so thoroughly prospected that a shaft can. into another one or upon an adjoining claim, and ascertain, after running over the. hills for weeks, that every—foot—of: ground is located, and the district is so crowded that parties are leaving every day for other localities. The truth is, White Pine is already running over with people, and every man who goes there with great expectations of wealth, soon ‘begiris to ask why he sees .so little work done, and parties of ten and a day ; ‘Why the people don’t stay and dig, if there is so much silver?” The only answer a White Piner can give is, “The Eberhardt is very rich,” and this is the sum and substance of all there is of White Pine. But the immense poptrict already overflowing with people, will be compelled to-seek other homes, and many of them will come to this State and enter into business here. Other parts of Nevada than White Pine ‘the Louisa Downs, was freighted with white mien, Henry Hanson, Capt. Henry pect, the many trading houses having now to depend almost solely upon the . pelts brought in by Indians belonging to tribes entirely foreign to the Sitkas, the latter procuring but a very few skins, occupying their time. altogether around the stores and streets of our city, seeking what they may steal and de-~ vour, Unlike the other tribes however, they’ are perfectly peaceable, having committed no assault upon the whites, while the Chil-Cat and Kake tribes have already murdered five white men who ventured out in boats loaded with stores’ for the purpose of trading. So far as we can learn, the latter tribe are the only ones that have committed the crime of murder, and under what cir. cumstances I will relate: In the month of October last, a small schooner named merchandise bya Mr,"Levi, trading in this place, arid was mannedby three Steir and Wm. Henderson, and two Sitka Indians. On the morning of the 2d of November, they were seen near the Kake village, and by their report were ‘eb. 8th. The boat and the two In‘village, and from their report to Gen. Davis I give you further details. Itap. pears the two white men and the two Indians had encariped for the'night on the evening of Jan. Ist.. While cooking their supper, an Indian upon the opposite shore of the cove came on the beach and waved a fire brand asa signal for attack. Lhe two Indians en= taeated the white men to’ fly. to the woods, well knowing the meaning of such « signal. This they refused to do; andthe Indians theniselves fled for their lives. On returning to the camp. ing ground at daylight, the men were both dead, one. having been shot by a rifle and the other having his throat cut. Most of the produce was stolen through the night, but strange to say, the double barrel shot gun, Henry rifle ‘Yremaining property has been brought here, consisting of a-few-furs and some wearing apparel. The two Indians re-’ mained watching the bodies, and. dispatched a canoe of the friendly tribe adJoining to tell us the sad néws. Eight Indians were the perpetrators of the deed, and. we are informed the tribe disfavors the action and the chief is ready to give the criminals up. What the action of Gen. Davis will be I cannot tell, but he and Capt.Mead of will be benefitted. by this emigratign, for itis probable that many of them will be men of energy and enterprise, and that they will bring: some capital with them, It is possible that this State will gain much more than she has lost on account of the White Pine excitement, in this way. There is ample room anywhere in’this State for men of of capital, New industries are only waiting on these for development, and California has within her reach the advantages to make her one of the leading States of the Union. The White Pine excitement “will ultimately and undoubtedly help in the work. I 5 ais ¢ and shipped in the commercial ports. The technical term forthese outrages is “shanghaeing,” and the practi¢e is common in San Francisco,» [t is a disgrace to the metropolis, and it is high time-that-the authorities and the better classes of citizens took some steps to utan end to the disgraceful custom. ‘he National’s description of the process is-very interesting, and we hope it l may cause discussion of the evil in the metropolitan journals. If those papers would make open and determined war upon the “shanghaers” they would soon have.to give up their work. amare € I -APPOINTMENTS.—A dispatch to the Union of-yesterday, says : Cole has agreed to give Waite the Naval Office and Buekbee the Postal As Waite has heretofore been spoken Cole’s preference for the Naval Office, the inference is that that the two have may be, however, that Cole would favor Waite, whois an old school mate of his and a personal friend, without an understanding between himself and Sargent, .
