The fear of an Indian attack on the settlements
has in great measure snbsided during the last few
days, although the excitement has been Iatterly on
/ the increase But the nature of thiz excitement
| has changed-formerly it was fear, but now, since
4 the arrival of troops and ammunition, the bum
/ -mers and blowers have become exceedingly brave,
and, coming oat of their holes like black fes before
the sun, are again rejoicing in the sound Of their
own voices. There are great many military men

and sAdjntant- Generals are the only titles cons
sdered worthy Of being borne by this highly re-
4 spectacle crowd.
During the time Of fear, or rather panic, there
was great deal Of hustle, and the people Of the
towns fortified several houses in their different To-
ealitiea. In Virginia brick house was chosen for
that purpose, while in Gold Hill strong stone
house received the labors of the brave defenders.
Oh, il was joyful sound to see the bummers
, and biowerS at work Rocks were moved, stone
walls were bullt, and timber placed in proper
position; the baker loaned bread, the merchant
) loaned powder, (although there was no leadl and
thefcarpenter and blacksmith did their respective
duties in proper manner, To guard against s
night attack guards were chosen and the watches
of the night properly kept, the pickets being pro-
| vided with broken down rifes and shot guns.
Nothing happened, however, throughout the Terri
tory to call !. the guards - into action, or indeed
to disturb their quiet repose, except at Virginia
and Carson.
At the former place, the inhabitants were awak.
ened with the cry Of :. the Indians the Indiansl y
, The brave guard rushed to the place whence the
: noise Of the Indians y proceeded, and having
prudently and by means Of great skill and general
ship, surrounded the locality, found-what? A

D The second occurrence, at Carson was the bar
barous assassination of man who happened also
! to be one of the guards. The circumstances were
as follows: The deceased remarked in saloon,
that whoever sold powder to Indians ought to be
hung" The murderer asked, '.who would hang
him. when the deceased replied, You'll see, II
/, you sell powder" The murderer scufied with
!. him, drew his pistol and shot him. The murderer
was placed in the hands Of the U. 8. Marshal one
d John Blackburn, and the inhabitants subscribed
5000 for the purpose Of providing him with neces-
sares for his prisoner until the sitting Of the Court
What were the feelings Of people when, last night,
n the murderer was allowed to escape 1t is, indeed,
great disgrace to this Territory, TINT we have

integrity to fulfill their dHties.
