The Indians have commenced hostilities
against the whites. Their 6rst depredations
were perpetratsl near and upon the Siskiyou
mountain, by the band Of the renowned chief
Tipsey. They first stole Eve American horses
and one mule nenr the mountain. The same
day they attacked the train Of Messrs. Gates &
Claymer, near the top of the mountain, and kill
ed Mr. Gates; Mr.. Caymer made his escape.
1t is supposed that two more white men were
killed at the same time.
Lieut.. Bonnecastle who was in the valley in
command of number of U. s. troops, has been
joined by the De Chute Indians, and will pro-
ceed at once to Sisklyou mountain, and by the
assistance of the Indians, take the track of Tip
sey where the recent murders were committed.
The Herald very truly remarks, that this is the
only proper plan. Let such man as " Tipsey'
be hunted down--let him be followed from day
To day. until he and all OF his warriors are swept
from among the living. This is the only way 10
