Honest Indian.

--A correspondent, writing from Great Salt Lake City, under date of Oct. 27, says:

‘ Washkee, the chief of the Snake Indians, arrived here to-day with a band of Indians, and returned to Mr. Bromley, the agent of the Overland Mail Company, a number of horses and mules stolen from Bear River station by the Bannock Indians, he having captured them from that tribe. This is the old chief's first visit to this place. He received suitable presents for his exploit, and is being well entertained during his stay. He is the best friend the whites have in this vicinity, and were it not for him great depredations upon the whites would constantly be committed.
