The CRIsIs IN THE EAsT-1he late revul-
sion in business and financial matters. at
the east, is without parallel since 1881
40. Hundreds upon hundreds Of heavy
business firms have passed into hopeless in
solvency, and the end, it would seem, is not
yet. Over,trading and extravagancc is
sure to be brought up with round turn
some day, and thus are the imprudent and
improvident in the eastern cities reaping
the fruits of their recklessness. The last
great financial revulsion began in 1887
with the suspension Of the United States
Bank and all the State banks, aud ended
in ls4O with the explosion of the Manhat'
tan Bank, the very one that began the war.
Within those years 10000 houses broke,
and took the benefits of the bankrupt law
Of l84l Their debts amounted to $780,
900, 0,O00-ther assets TO almost nothing
The late Massacre on the Plains.
The report of the late massacre has been
fully confirmed The number of persons
slaughtered by the Indians was lls.-
Great excitement prevailed in Los Angeles
on the announcement, shortly after the re-
ceipt Of the news that parties were in town
who corroborated all the statements that
had been previously made. A public meet
ing was called, and the persons referred to
attended it and made statcments-a con-
densation of which We will give next week,
taken from the San Francisco Herald, Of
the 3Oth, ult Their names are Power and
Worn. They had lately returned from
Salt Lake City.
ANOTHER Massacre, PRoBABLY.-Mr. w.
W. Smith, who arrived recently in Sacra-
msnto, furnishes the Journal With some ad-
ditional news from Carson Valley, from
which we copy the following:
"Mr Blackford, who arrived a short
time before Mr.. Smith left, reports that
several trains whose arrival should have
been made some days ago at point of
safety, are supposed to have been cut of
by the Indians No other satisfactory rea-
son can be given for the delay They were
heard of, oil well, at tho head Of Humbolt,
and no news Of them has since been receiy-
ed, although they should have been in many
days ago. The Washoes have all left the
Valley, and not one Of the tribe has been
seen since the recent difficulties.
