he Is par excellence the head and front, the

possibly have controlled. NOBODY who knows
him would ever impute to him the design of
acquiring or perpetuating his authority by the
slightest exercise of the arts popularity ascribed

his accustomed fearlessness and independence.
He enjoys the unbounded confidence of the
Republicans of the state, because he has earn

lain Collins, United States army, passenger
BRINGS Information of deplorable state OF
affairs at Sitka since the withdrawal of the
troops. There is now no protection either for
life or property There is not semblance of
law, either civil, military or naval, aud no
power whatever to restrain the lawless ele-
ments. There are not more than fifteen white
residents at Sitka besides their wives and
hundred Indians. Since the departure of the
soldiers the Indians have become very bold and
impudent. They get drunk and swagger about
town day and night, and have no respect what
ever for the rights of the whites The resi-
dents have informed Chaplain Collins that
they were in hourly fear of their lives and
property and Intended to abandon the country
as soon as possible. The collector of customs
at that port is powerless and his authority is
utterly disregarded. Already the Indians have
begun to plumber the government buildings,
carrying away doors and windows, tearing
down and burning for fuel the stockade about
the deserted garrison, and there is no author
ity. Sitka Jack, a leading Indian chief, has
notified a number of northern tribes to come to
Sitks, where they will hold grand pow-wow
about the 1st of October 1t is feared that this
will be signal for general plumber of the
town and massacre of the Inhabitants. The
government steamer was at that port only a
few weeks ago. but the Indians regarded it
with the utmost contempt, saying that they
could very easily capture it if they desired.
Business is paralyZed, and unless the govern
ment speedily offers protection to the settlers,
the territory will be totally abandoned.
