HON. SCHUYLER COLFAX.

t. b. Peterson d Brothers, No. BOG Chest
nut Street, Philadelphia, have in press and
will publish in a few days, "The Life of Hon.
Schuyler Colfax," written by Rev. A. Y.
Moore, of South Bend, Indiana, who was for

to the files of the paper published by Mr..

were for dozen years fellow-townsmen of
mine and, a. valued friend, suppose YOU
know as much about my history as the pub
lie would care about knowing; and although
my duties here leave me no time to revise
the manuscript, have no fear that your work
will not be faithful one.
Yours, very truly.
SCHUYLER CoLFAx.

Latest News from sitks via San Fran.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. IA late Sitkn letter
gives accounts OF the progress Of settling the
country.
The interference Of the authorities with the
customs of the Indians created discontent among
them. Notwithstanding the winter season, many
strange Indians are appearing and disappearing.
Some Of them come from Victoria, and others
from Simpson, but for what purpose Is not
known. 1t Is expected that as the Russians re-
move the country will become Americanized and
affairs change for the better.
In consequence OF the cxhorbitant prices de-
msnded for game, and . knowledge of the fact
that It 10 principally disposed OF by the Indians
surreptitiously for liquor, Gen. Davis has Issued
an order that whatever article Of provisions the
Indians wished TO sell must be exposed In The
market place.
Many Instances have occurred OF the Indians
being detected in violation Of the order and ar.
rested and their liquor conHscatcd, whereupon
the whole tribe would appear at headquarters
and demand their release, and II refused, would
hold a council Of war, and the chief would make
savage threats at the whites.
The continuous rains have given place to snow
and hail storms which last several days time.
The Thermometer Is now ITO degrees below the
freezing point. The unfavorable state OF the
weather prevents the progress OF the city I'M
provemcnts designed by the engineer, but some
buildings are being erected. billiard saloon,
restaurant, and a pawn brokers' shop have been
opened.
A number Of burglaries are noticed. Brutal
fights are not unffequcnt.
The ship seariteza, with a cargo Of furs for
London, and two hundred passengers for Russia,
sailed on December II. Solemn mass was cele.
brated on board before sailing, and Gen. Davis
ordered a parting salute Of twenty-one guns.
