SAN Francisco, May 2S.-The pony express with
ST. Louis dates of May 90, is due at Carson Valley
this morning, but on account OF Indian hostilities
on the route for two hundred miles beyond that
point it feared the express has been cut off.
The last express left here on Friday, the 25th but
we are not yet advised whether it passed the
dangerous portions of the route on its way east
ward. During nearly all of the past week it has
raned necessarily; and so little business was done
IL Is difficult to hX quotations. NO article was I'M
proved in value within ten days, and it is generally
believed that business will open this week with a
declining market. The weather is now pleasant,
and no doubt the dry season has commenced, as the
heavy rains have already continued unprecedented
y late. The accounts from Carson Valley vester-
day (the 27th) represented that about Is, 900
Indians remained in the vicinity of Pyramid Lake,
and that 900 hunters, under Col. j. G. Hayes, and
200 United States troops under Capt. Steward, had
gone to attack them in front and rear. We are
therefore in hourly expectation of another battle.
A letter received from Little Shasta river, May

W. Finney, agent of the pony express, called upon
us this morning and gave some sad news respecting
the perilOus condition of that enterprise. lie had
Just received dispatches from Carson CITY, which
state that the station at Simpson Park was burnt
on Monday last 1t is supposed to have been the
work of Indians.
Mr. Finney called upon General Clark to ascertain
if the government would not furnish some protec-
ton to the route. AS the pony express is but an
individual enterprise, Mr.. F. explained to General
Clark that he had right to call for protection of
the express by itself, but the route was the same
over which passed the United States mail, for which
it was, perhaps, the duty of the government
to keep it clear. There on the road, journey
ing towards California by this route at least six
or seven einigrant trains which would fall victims
to the cruelty and rapacity of the savages. For
this purpose Mr.. Finney thought that with seventy
five well-armed and well-mOunted men the route
might be kept safe. If these men were well
mounted and armed with Minnie rifles, it is thought
they could secure the stations against any force of
Indians likely to attack them. General Clark ex-
pressed great regret that he could do nothing
The limited number of men under his command
made it impossible for him to detail seventy fl We
for the proposed duty. He regarded it of great
Importance to protect the route, and thought it
would be great misfortune to have the pony ex-
press interrupted, but in the absence of he
could do nothing at present Under these circum-
stances Mr.. Finney is fearful that the express will
have to be stopped. lie leaves Immediately for
