81 Among the accounts Of Indian Disturbances we
S save published article from the Aia California,
obi this city, giving the particulars Of rutnorcd
fs massacre OF tie Clear Lake Indians We thought,
at the time Of its publication chat il must be great
t@ly exaggerated; and upon applying at the proper
tsource ior information, We ind that we were not
esonlY correct in surats, bat that The affair has
E5been wholly misrepresented. The facts, derived
sssron source The accuracy Of winch Is unqucstion
Iabic are as follows party OF Indians, living nd
k13tnd about the SonOma district, after committing
Es5alany murders and other outrag65, in Noyem-
ssbcr last fled 60 Clear Lake, which is sheet of wal
forty miles long, and from six to eight miles
lwide, lying some hty miles ngrth Of Sonoma Hay
fsug been pursued by tie troops, they took refuge
gin one Of the numerous Islands of the lake. This
5they have made their abode ever since setting the
Astroops at defiance, and maintaining attitude of
sshosiility towards all the whites. Until recently t,
sthe condition Of the roads rendered access to the
Eslake ilnpassabc for an armed force About ten
t1days since, however, Captain Lyon ordered To
gproccod TO Clear Lake, and to punish and dislpdge
Fthc Indians tfom their strou 5old. The latter had
EYforthed their position and had provided quantity
sof provisions sufficient 10 enable them sustain al
T.tweve months siege. They ociied the soldiers on
NJ thcir approach, aud invited them to come on i'll
trthey wanted to fight. The men advanced with
tboats (Which they had transported with great labor
ysSlcross the mountains) and were received with a
s-4shoWer OF arrows
81 Ii the combat many of the soldiers were seri-
.sousiy wounded and number Of the Indians killed
,aThc statement chat women and children were mas
S4sacred is wholly uufoundrd. Some Of the sque VS.
E3wcre drowned in attempting 30 swim away, and ID
ssis said that some Of the children put death
10y their own mothers; bot the accuracy OF this
-.;statemcnt S&pnot be vouched for. Captain Lyon
,Sdas proceeded Up towards the head waters Of the
5acramchso IN pursuit of the murderers Of Captain
