Fresh reports are arriving from the
scene of the Indian troubles. There
seems to be a general uprising of the
Indians in Eastern Nevada. Another
company of volunteers are preparing
to march from this place. Great diff
ficulty is experienced in getting arms
and transportation. Troops have been
ordered from Catta (?) and a company
of United States soldiers are en- route
from Fort Cameron, Utah. A courier
who arrived this morning says Patter-
son Station and Cave Valley are sur
rounded by Indians, and the people
want arms. Have heard of but two
men being killed and one wounded.
Signal fires are seen on the noun
tains to the north OF US every night.

McCurdy states that a few days ago
the Indians ordered the whites
to leave Snake Valley, saying
the country was theirs and they were
going to have it. 1t is reported that a
party of six men going v 9 the
mountains from Duck Creek we're

pairing to march to the field.

pecting trouble here. The Indians in
this valley have all gone to the mount
Eight strange Indians arrived in
the valley to-day. We could get moth

communicative; think they were spies
counting the number Of settlers. We
sent q man out to-day to try to get the
Indians belonging to the valley to
come in, but they would not. The
man could understand their language
when the Indians talked amongst
themselves. He says the Indians are
going to hide their squaws aud pa
