TIE INDIAN TROUBLES IN HUM
ROIDr

We find in this mornings Union the
following dispatches which have been re-
ceiyed by the Governor in reference to the
Indian difficulties in Humboldt county,
and also those in reply to his calls upon
General Wright and Major McDermit, for
troops to protect the whites:
STAR CITY, New, March II, 1865.
II. G. BLAsDEL, Governor of Nevada : An
Indian outbreak has occurred on the Honey
Lake road; three men have been killed and
two others attacked who made their escape.
The Indians hold the entire route, and small
parties dare not travel. The last man killed
was the station keeper, at Wall Springs, half
way station. Station keepers along the road
have been driven into this place. The In
dams are threatening the towns on the Hum
boldt, having committed depredations as far
up as St. Marys. Our supply Of provisions
is endangered il this route is closed. We
have at this place neither arms, ammunition,
nor provisions, with which to fit out an ex-
pedition. And we earnestly entreat that you
will have the necessary men and supplies sent
to Smoke Creek station with the ut IoSt dis
patch. Z. F. dunno, and others.
KNOXVILLE, New, March, 10, 1860.
To Gov. BDAsDEL: The Indians are COM
hitting depredations on the Honey Lake
road. Can you send US any troops: Sew
eral attacks have been made on parties trav-
cling that road within the past few days.
THOMAS EWING.
San Francisco, CAL, March II, 1865.
To Gov. BLAsDEL: All the troops in Ne
vada and at Owens river, have been formed
into sub-district, under the command Of
Major McDermit, who is ordered to give all
the protection they can afford to the people
in the State of Nevada.
r. c. DRUM, A. A. 6.
Fort CHURCHILL, Nevada,
March Is, 1866.
To Gov. BLAsDEL / will ask General
Wright TO order fifty mounted men from
Camp Nye to Honey Lake, and as soon as an
answer is received will let you know.
CHARLES McDgRMIT,
Major Com'dg Post.
The following dispatch was received
yesterday, by Senator Hutchins, of Hum
boldt, in reply to one he sent, asking for
information in regard to the Indian diff
culties there. and how near TO Star City
the two white men were recently killed.
Mr.. HutchiLs is in Carson at present, ac-
lively at work to afford his constituents
the desired relief:
STAR CITY, New, March Is, 1865.
The two men were killed within sixty miles
of this place. The nearest Indians threaten
| ing us are yet at.St. Marys, on the Humboldt
river, about twenty miles from here. Urge
the Governor to send troops aud arms to our
military companies. E. F. dunno.
Adjutant General Cradlebaugh came to
Gold Hill last evening, and gathered up
all the spare arms in the possession of the
Home Guard, and will dispatch them to-
day to the scene of disturbance. The
same influences which have stirred up the
Indians farther eastward to bloodshed,
have probably been brought to bear upon
these tribes. If this should prove to be
the case, and general uprising Of the
sayages should occur, there will be no re-
course but the final solution of the grea,
Indian problem: By discriminating the tOholc
race, or drioing them torerer beyond our
frontier. rts go s.......s.r .-z
