order, to go to Sitka. She will sail as soon

New York, March ia gentleman re-
Gently arrived from Sitka says the present
threatened danger in Alaska is greatly ex-
aggerated; that every person acquainted
with the facts sees nothing but trouble aris-
ing from whisky, and the mixing OF white
men with the squaws, which las unfortu-
natcly been intensified by Indian remem-
brance of gross outrages endured at the
hands of the military in the post
The first trouble there was the result of
military murders, which the Government
should now investigate, and, if possible
punish the perpetrators. General Davis
might he induced to tell before a Court Of
Inquiry who gave the first whisky to the
Indian chiefs and the trouble that followed
by drunken officers in command, neglect
ing to Withdraw previous orders. On one
occasion three Indians were shot and killed
by soldier on duty. From hat event, ten
years ago to the recent killing of Brown,
the Indians have been wonderfully forbear-
ing.
