PACIFIC COAST INDIAN AFFAIRs-The Com
missioner of Indian Affairs received this morn.
ing full reports from most of the U S. Indian
Agencies west of the Rocky Mountains, all OF
which represent the Governments affairs with
the different tribes as being, in the main, in q
satisfactory condition.
The Agent at Olympia, Washington, Terri
tory, transmits an interesting account of the
murder of Col. j. n. Ebey, wealthy and inHu
entail citizen, at his residence, on the 18th Au-
gust, by predatory band of Northern British
Indians, whom he represents as being remark
ably warlike, vigorous, sagacious, and we'll
armed, and as possessing large canoes, to carry
100 men, in which they move on such incur
sions with great celebrity. He suggests the pro.
priety Of stationing one or two small ste m
ers in that quarter as defence against them.
From the Utah SUPPLEMENTARY, the Com
missioner has advices that the Piede Indians
are easily induced to labor, and he advises
strenuously that their requests for ploughs and
other agricultural and mechanical instruments
be acceded to. He evidently thinks that their
disposition to improve their condition by in
dustry and civilization should be promptly en-
couraged by the Government.

Valley are sore tax on travellers, and DANCE
Gus to life and property passing in their way
He recommends immediate attention to their
requirements as most important for the future
of the emigr alton. -
