Now* ia rip. .tad at every moment of a terrible engagement. Many are leaving for California. The town* are dull and i drf-nealaaa. The Indiana are aaid, by reliable information, to b-- three or four 'thousand strong. Su or eight familiea, with several hundred head of cattle aud sheep, are auppoaed | to he lost.The following ia from the same journal, ol the 1 Uh June•• rin.ina* Flynn, the rider of the Pony F* prea* from Genoa tu Sink of Caraoo, who eame in Thursday night, informs ua, aiys the Trrri-HnU’pn**, of June ’Jnd, that ihelast Pony Eapreaa Klt;u.g Knl, was turnrd hark at Pry Creek, ‘J.»‘i mileaeaatof here. No word there had b«-en heard of the Ks press cm mg from the raat. Six Hike* Peaker. found the body of the station keeper horribly mutilated, and all the animal* nnaaing at Simpson's Park, aa reported laat week. Mr. Hamilton, and Kulfum, with others of the Pony Bsprea*. took the stock from Smith * Creek, and camped at night at Cold Springs: Ilutlam and Hamilton, while on „ guard, were fired on by the Indiana. The whole part*, upon heating the shots, ssuJIsd up c» and moved off. They, in the moving, overtook 'some emigrant*, with Si««l sheep ; some fortyia. Tlmen were with the sheep Iraio. That party is now safe at Millers Hlation. Josephus, a friendly B.h Cle, who baa been iu tin* employ of the Pony Kapresa Company, arivised Flynn to leave with bis atoek from the Sink of Carson immediately.

Another despatch -i-te* that a company of forty mm. supposed to lie Mormons, had just arrived with a fine lot of horses. They had met no Indians, but had •e-’U and buried the bodies of th* l-.apre.a riders who had bc--n killed by the Indian*. Tins won d argue that the route is clear •lt; savages, for the oreacut at least, and tlut tlw Kipr. •• will probably go through safely this tune. The Indians are reported to have gone ofT toward the Humboldt, and it is altogether probable that they will be unable to maintain their pre sent organisation, but will break into small de'arhmcnu and inaugurate a vesatn.ua guerrilla warfare. A few day a will suffice torcvial their plan of operations for the future. It is nut unlike!) that we shall anou hear of their appearance at auitic other part uf our frontier before breaking up into *mai I com panics.
