THE NAvAJos TO BE ExrERMINATED.-An i'm
portant news item has relched California by the
St. Louis, Memphis aud Texas route. The Navajo
Indians are to be externnated. We learn this
fact from the Santa Fe Gazette. That paper states
that one company ofmonnted riaemen, three COM
panies of rifles, company G Third Infantry, and a
company of guides and spies, have been ordered
into the territory of the Nayaos, to execute the de
that has gone forth against the devoted tribe
Lieut. Col. Dixon s. Miles has been assigned to the
command of these troops. A portion Of them had
already advanced into the Navajo territory but up
to the latest dates received, had made no further
hostile movement. At the earnest solicitation Of
an influential Navajo chief, the commanding officer
had given him ten days to raise his people, hunt
down and deliver up the murderer or murderers Of
Major Banks negro. The poor, simple, untutored
Nayaj0s +! thus to arouse the vengeance the Fed
eral power The poor fools could not be content
with numbering and robbing emigrant trains, aud
scalping and children ;but must kill a negro
and on the southern route, too! Let the extinction
of the Navajo nation atone for this unparalleled
outrage, and other tribes be thereby taught to con
fine their depredations to emigrlnt trains, and
upon other routes.

crushed, and both have determined to do it. The

that announcement is the ominous, disheaItemng
news that the vessels which are to connect with
those routes on the Pacific side are those of the Pa
cifc Mail Company So long as this monster op
pressor holds so much power in its hands, (suhcient
to control the transit of the mails and passengers
from San Francsco) it will hardly feel weak and
dependent enough to make voluntary reductions in
the prices of passage and freight; and thus the
only two routes by sea, from the opening of which
we could except to derive any lasting beneficial re-
suits have fallen into the grasping hands of the
very company from whose clutches we have so long
strven for escape.
To what quarter are we now to return for relief
Ce.tainly not to the Pacific Railroad. The very
mention of highway which has hitherto proved
but road to Office exctes the derisive smile OF
the people in whose breasts hope has languished
until it scarcely survives upon the promise held out
by the eaterpr-ing spirit of the age. The over
land mail wagons may direct much travel across the
plains but farther than that can be of but little
direct benefit to California emigrants. We are in
a most deporable plight out OF which the way
seems sadly dim and uncertain.
