Owkn Kivkh and Mono Indians.—We clipthe following from the Esmeralda Star, olMay 31«t: Captain E. A. Uowe returnedwith his escort, last Sunday, from a visit to the Mono Indians. He informs us that an equal number of them came out to have h talk with biro. They were armed with long Kentucky ritlet, bows and arrows. He met them at the lower end of Mono Lake on the western side. The guide and interpreter went the night before and remained over night with about eighty of them, and induced them to send u number equal to the Captain’s escort and have a talk with him. They appeared very sullen, and did not seem to care whether peace was made or not. They claimed to be Monoes, but in their conversation spoke for the Owen river tribe as if they were their friends; stating that as they had killed as many whites as the latter bad of them, they were satisfied, but if the whiles felt disposed to continue the war, they were as w illing to tight as the whites were. Captain Rowe is satisfied that a part at least of these same Indians who met Inin, were of the Owen river trit**, and in the late battle which resulted iu the Indians Coming otf victorious. IIu agreedto meet them again on the fifth of June and have another talk, and advises that our people shall be careful and forbearing with these Indians, so as not to provoke any further hostility on their part until he can seethem again. We trust hit request will be heeded.
