It lie pretty evident now that We are to bate an
other Indian war in the north eastern part OF the
Sacramento Valley. The Red Bluff Beacon OF the
2nd inst, says:
''Soue time Last week the party sent out with John
Breckenridge uncer pay raised by subscnphon met
party Of five IDdisn- and Que white man, between the
head waters of Butte and Deer Creeks, with whom
they engaged in severe running hgh', wh'ch ouiy
lasted short time when Mr.. Is. and his party sue
eded forever silencDg, rs far as this struggling
band is concerned, hostilties. The red men of the
parry as " ell their pae-faced leader, OF whom the
country well rid are now sleeping the sleep OF DEATH
and as trophy sort of remembrance that there was
man base to lead on band of savases TO deeds
OF butchery and theft, the scalp 0t the rhHe man cds

"The dsy a'ter this encounter, large ranchera as
discovered and pre- paTatioDs made for surrounding

numbers about dozen men. They succeeded how

trey consumed as well as their hay stacks, fencing,
ETC. The smoke and DANES soon aroused the neigh

the close proximity OF these ranches TO the foot

themselves. Their tracks plsoly visible next
morning. and doubt remains a. 10 its being Indians

family have .one down below Mr. Refers on Rock
creek Others, We understand, are leaving every day
for more secure quarters
"No doubt low remains that the Indians have
white pces and that they receive their supplies
Of arms ana ammunition from white agents. The
rsnchera sormed last week VISA found TO contain
four sugar. dishes and nearly al the comforts usually
found in the cabins of the white people, IL s under
stood that there tome 40 or % white brues living
a
state Of corcubinege and tina. they uphold and pro-
tect the Indians in all their depredations. These
people, doubtless encourage the Indians to steal from
the ciiizeIs of this valley, and perhaps divide with
them in the sroils large number OF American horses
and cattle that have been taken from citizens aud
10 would be well for Gen. kbbes company, before the
contemplated campaign upon which he Is about to
enter lie over, to make strict inquiry into this matter
and it, suspect there are white receivers OF the
stolen property taken from this valley from time TO
time by Indsns to endeavor " have them brought to

learned, stranger to the party that killed him. The
conclusion IT, by those who live in the vicinity that h.
