\ At Panama it was very sickly.
n By the arrival of the Alabama we have
aSan Francisco papers Of June l. They con
tain many accounts of Indian hostiIites.-
AThe murder of the eleven Americans at the
;Aiunction of the ella. and California had caus-
lsed great excitement. The Journal Of Com
merce, however, gives version of the story
(which is rather more favorable 10 the Indians.
THE following is the account of the Journal
1t appears that Glanton, the leader of the
II American party, who with several of his gang
rEwere murdered were long before outlawed
s both in Texas and Mexico for their crimes
AT the Colorado they established a ferry
Mwhere the Indians had also established one,
.Nand forbid their ferrying over any person or
+ apain OF death. The Indians expostulated
q aganst this, but Glanton and his party in
y Hsisted, and broke up the Indians boats The
=. asavages placed themselves several miles be
, Hbelow the Glanton party, and commenced
Swimming horses and mules over without the
: laid of boats. and to this operation the above
e Anamed American and his party commenced
Han opposition. Finally, Glanton and his mel
insisted that the Indians should not swim tht
J Ariver, even with their private packs upoI
/ their heads but should cross their ferry will
II Hthem, and pay for such crossing. The In
Adans very naturally, and very properly, be
} Hcame exasperated with the company. ant
n aunited together to murder them, in which w,
e think they were by every sense of justic,
s Hjustifable. But while massasreing thes,
e Hirontier outlaws, we learn from good author
II aty that they RETAINED from iniuring an
eHother party, either Mexican or American.
We are very we'll satisfied, from the pri
dAvate accounts from the Colorado, Humhold
AHarbOr, Trinity Bay, and the Upper Sacra
Hmento mInes that the whites are the prIncipa
Acause of the hostility OF the Indians. They
@abuse and maltreat the aborlgines until they
Hresent it by revenge.
isl As an instance Of the peaceful disposition
l. Aof the Indians, the Journal says that last Ju
eAly one of its editors, in company with single
ii companIon, travelled from the mouth of tn
stsGila to San Diego; during which they wer,
alrequently encouraged by Indians and from
n THE evidence of their friendly acts, we arr
saluly satisfied that they possess more human
MIty and friendly feeling than one-half of the
Mwhltes who are rushing through their terrific
Try to California. Many companies, says the
o. Journal start from the United States armed
D. do the teeth, with the idea that It is necessary
l. sto fight their way to California. and in thei
;, Sprogress they commit outrages without prov
, cAocalion, by which means they endanger the
Il olives of all who follow their footsteps, ant
5 asuch bloody minded men should meet n,
e Acountenance in California.
ls3 On the 10th of May Capt Lyons met tn
+ II Eonjayes on Russian river and killed 100 o
.Athem, dispensing the remainder At Ken
Atucky Bar and deer Creek, and in the vicin
9rHity, the Indians were very troublesome. |
us suspected that some of the whites havin!
Aurged the savages on. A man named Hoy
Hwas murdered on Bear River; Hoyt wa
Hmurdered at mill in Grass Valley. and hi
sAbrother received sixteen wounds The pres
* kence of the United States Indian commission
@ Her appears to be much desired.
W The prospects of the gold hunters partc
Aularly in the Southern Mines appear to b.
PSvery encouraging. The Journal of com
p 4merce says:
hz Near all the tributary rivers of the Sa
all Joaquin new placers have been discovered
N (which are represented to be amazingly rio
