SAN FRANCISCO, May 16 1878.
The following was received from Yreka to-
night:-"J. w. Doten arrived here to-day from

former place on Tuesday last at which time the
Pitt River Indians, numbering 800 warriors
had gathered together in council, having been
called by Old Dick, their head chief DicK
is peaceaby inclined and very friendly towards
the white settlers. They have every confidence ia
him. He was anxious that his tribe should all
move to the east side OF Pitt River, so that
they would not be blamed for depredatons
that might be committed north or west
OF them. He said that he did not
know what the result OF the council would be- but
some OF the Indians, headed by Old Shave Head,
wanted to fight, and talked OF putting him tDick)
down and making some one else CHIEF; and should
they do the settlers might know some trouble was
intended. Old Shave Head some time ago went OF,
and some think he has been up to the lava beds
holding a conference with Captain Jack. Mr.. DOte
says the settlers were not apprehensive OF serious
troubles, but the collecting together OF such band
at this time looks suspicious.
