PuGEr SoUyp--The latest news we have
from the Sound is under date Of September
5th.
A few days before, band Of Kisqualy
Indians, numbering between seventy-fve and
one hundred, great and small, came into Fort
Steilacoom from the east side Of the Cascade
mountains and gave themselves up. Among
them were number of chiefs and leading
men Of that tribe-Stey-he. chief and half
brother Of Leschi, one of the head chiefs;
Elel-ka-ka, another chief; Tua-pi-ti, concern
ed in the murder of Lieut. James McAlistcr,
OF the Puget Souad Rangers; Sal-e-uass,
concerned in the murder Of White and North
craft; Sluga-mus, the Indian who was sent
into Fort Steilacoon last winter fro.. the hos
4 tile camp with the little son OF Mr.. King,
who was detained three months By the Indi-
ans after the murder of his parents at the
White River Massacre at their camp; Win
yea, Squally jim; William and others, the
most of whom have been in several battels
1t is thought by some that the coming in of
these Indians will cause trouble as some Of
the whites may seek for summary vengeance
for wrongs committed Les:hi, Ktaap and
Feson, head hostile chiefs, it is supposed will
not dare to come in.
Slug-yea, one Of the Indians who was tried
by the military commission at Fort Stella
COON last spring, and who was sentenced to
four years confinement, has been released by
Lieut.. Col. Casey and gone on TO the Re-
serve opposite Steilacoom. The people think
it quite wrong.
The bark Sarah Warren and Ork have
been discharging cargos of merchandise for
the merchants along the Sound, and would
load with lumber for return cargoes. The
three-mast schooner Spray was expected to
arrive every day to load with spars for China.
