From Virginia City.

We met with Mr.. Lingle, yesterday, who
has lately arrived from Virginia City. lie
left there Tuesday morning, at which time no
arms or ammunition had come from the Cali

were anxiously awaiting their arrival, in or

dition attended with danger Meantime, the
manly brow of poor Henry Meredtch and the
ghasty corpses Of lis comrades in death
must lie bleaching in the sun and rain and
winds, or their flesh torn by the ravenous
wolves.
Mr.. Lingle tells us of some interesting Incl
dents connected with the unfortunate expe.
dition to the Big Bend. Among them, is
that of the escape of Capt. Allen Of Timbuc-
too. He was closely pursued on horseback
by a mounted Indian and could not turn to
fire, because the very act of turning would be
lhe signal for the Indian to fire. As for the
Indian, he was only waiting to get within Il
sure killing distance, and near enough to halt
| and draw q bead before his victim would lie
out Of range. The advantage was all OH the
| Indians side, had he not concluded to take a
short cut by running to the right of a knoll
Seeing the movement, Allen suddenly rened
in his horse and, by the time the Pah Ute got
round point of the knoll, had his rifle
leyeed The Indian was coming at full speed
towards him and could not rein up in time to
fire. Allen took aim and pulled trigger, and
down came the Indian. Thus he escaped.
Another narrow escape was made by Mr.
| Blackburn. o. II. Persons brother-in law
His horse was shot from under him. and he
was fighting on foot. A riderless Indian
