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

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=

the departure of the Winged Arrow,
business has assumed a very quiet asR

the relatives of the deceased to. have-it
interred with Christian usages. The
past summer outrages have been committedby the same Indians. The

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.

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.

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

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,

‘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

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

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.
