The intelligence received within the last twenty
four hours is of MORO than interest," and is
producing corresponding excitement among our
citizens
We have authentic accounts from the post at
the Gila up to last Thursday morning Lieut..

leave the post at present; that thu Yumas, to the
number of four hundred, had surrounded their
sockade, and that for three successive nights the
troops had been forced to fire upon the Indians, to
hold them in check Also, that four Americans
who had crossed the Colorado with a large drove OF
sheep, had beer killed by the Yumas.
The Indian chief Pablo, at Temescal, sent an
express to Hon. Abel Stearns, informing him of
union Of various Indian tribes with view to attack
and exterminate the Americans in Los Angeles and
