YREKA, Jan. "a. From conversation
with those who came in from the Mo-

particulars of the late fight: Several
squaws took part in the fight, and one
Of our soldiers was killed by squaw.
Colonel Perry was shot while rolling
down hill, at the top of which he was
surrounded by Indians. The bullet
struck his arm and passed down through

of Perry disheartened the soldiers, as
they looked for him to rally them in
charging upon the Indians in ambush

A letter from Captain A. Fairchlld
to r. E. Dewitt, dated the 22d inst, says:
| have consulted with Gen. Wheaton,
Col. Green, Col. Mason and Captain
Burton, who agree with me that Cali
fornia ought to raise from one hundred
to two hundred and fifty volunteers, for
say, three months, for our immediate
protection, for there is no telling what
the Indians will not do if there is not
something done, and that very soon.
You need not be surprised to hear Of
some terrible murders, as you can readi-

or Booth ought to have needed our ap-
peal for help. I have conversed with
several officers, old Indian fighters, aud
| they say the In 1ians fought the other
day, just like so many devils. 1t is
thought by many in Yreka tia. there is
nothing to prevent Indian scouts from
committing depredations in Butte Creek
Valley, and If they venture further from
the lower section they could easily raid
into little Shasta Valley. These raiding
parties ON defenceless settlers are more
to be dreaded than an attack in force
Captain Jack is SO encouraged now that
he won't treat on any terms, believing
that he can whip all the troops they can

Gen. Wheaton will build some RATS or
boats so that he can put mortars and
howitzers on them, and in that way he
can get nearer Jacks camp, than by any
route by land.
