THE ALPENA RoUTE.-The own
ers Of the propellar Lake Breeze
have sold her to the Engleman
Transportation Company, and have
purchased the side-wheel steamer
George L. Dunlap. The Dunlap is
1875 feet in length, % feet beam,
and has first-class accommodations,
equal to any side-wheel steamer on
the lakes. She is to be put on the
line between East Saginaw, Bay
City and Alpena, and will reach
here as soon as the Straits are open.
The Breeze will keep her place I'M
til she arrives. The Sherman is
undergoing thorough repairs, and
will be OH the route about the Goth
of May. Capt. John Stewart will
command the Sherman, and Capt.
VIM. Brown the Dunlap.
The Dunlap has a record equally
as good as the Sherman's. Her av-
erage time has been fifteen miles an
hour. These boats will form daily
line from East Saginaw whenever
they can get there, but from Bay
City certain) to Alpena. They will
probably reach Bay City by 3 p. NJ,
instead of 8 P. NJ, as formerly.
Capt. Cole, Ira +. Holt and Eugene
McFall are the owners.-Bay City
Chronicle.

The Indians.

SAN FRANCISCO, April IA dis
patch from Yerka tonight says that
on March 9th three hundred troops
broke camp and marched to the
upper end of LittleKlamath Lake.
The lava bed Indians refused to
come out and talk, but promised to
come the next Sunday. March 22d
Hooker Jim and party were seen at
Alkali Lake, where the party cor
rallied seventy-five horses. The
following Tuesday the same In
dams were again seen on the reser-
walton, where they talked all night
with the Modocs and Klamaths,
urging them to join Capt. Jack.
Hooker Jim said five tribes of In
dians were to join Jack whenever
he came out of the lava bed. They
told the reservation Indians it
would not be safe for them to re-
main friendly to the Whites. Dur
ing the night he sent two squaws
10 a white man named Jordon with
money to purchase powder, but he
refused to sell any to them. The
people on Sprague River are great
ly excited and are leaving the coun-
try. The reservation Modocs al
Klamath are also seriously alarmed
The citizens of Margoose Lave pc
titioned the Governor Of Oregon
for protection.
April I'd the Peace Commissioner
, had talk with the Modocs, wh'
made the same old speeches and re
fused the proposition for removal
They want to be alone and hav
the troops sent away.
Jack in an insolent and overbeai
ing manner said he had already sta
! ted his terms, knew no other cour
try and would go to no other
Schonsen's speech was to the sam
purpose. Col. Mason's comman
has been ordered TO move at enc
: to the camp two miles from Jack
Il cave.
April 7.-Yerla, April Z Ros,
!, brough reached the Tnle Lake cam
4 this morning. on Friday the Con
y missioners met Captain Jack, an
= other Modocs. Jack and Schonse
!, reiterated their determination
: remain in that country. Ros
= brough thinks that Jack is frigh
Z ened and will surrender. III
u troops are closing around them.

1t is not generally known that
the silver coinage of the United
States has been completely changed
since the first of April. The new
dollar will be worth two cents more
than the present dollar, and one
cent more than the Mexican dollar.
1t will be issued only on the order
of depositors of bullion. There is
some prospect that the vile Mexi-
can coin which has come into great
disfavor with the Chinese and other
eastern nations VII he entirely dis
placed by our moro valuable sub
stitute. The new law also provides
for the adoption of the French
standard of weight for all silver
coins of smaller denominations.
From this time forth the American
abroad can "swap" two half dollars
for five-frank piece.

MISCELLANEOUS.
A telegram from Little Rock says
there is nine feet of water in the chan
mel of the Arkansas there.
The Maude did not leave New Orleans
until last night.
Among the passengers up on the Phil
Allin last night was j. Z. White, tai
ented and accomplished horseman, who
some time since escaped from the county
Jail here.
A Vicksburg telegram says: " E. c.
Carol resigned his position on the wharf
boat to-day, to accept the superinten-
dency of the Parisot line"
Joe Cloud left Vicksburg yesterday for
New Orleans.
Ed. Barton, a pilot on the transfer
steamer II. c. Mutt, died yesterday from
yellow fever.
The little steamer Halle has started
on voyage from Little Rock to Fort
Smith, the first attempt of the kind made
by any boat in nearly two months.
Tuesdays New Orleans Times says of
Mondays departures "The Yeager's
cargo consisted of $500 sacks of salt, 1870
boxes of Havana sugar, so casks of wine,
so casks of coal tar and few small lots
of other freight. The Yeager left ali her
freight bills uncolleoted on account of
the present trouble, and did not have
money enough to pay her labor bill"
Tuesdays St. Louis Globe tells of the
late war in that city as follows:
The colored troops fit nobly" yester-
day; the Memphis Packet Company ig-
norantly supposed that they had right
to hire men at prices they we're willing
to work for, on their boats, and offered
$25 per month for rousters on the City
of Chester. At this a crew was soon
shipped, but others thought they should
manage this affair, and therefore very
politely allowed the hired crew to walk
