Fort Churchill, Nev. Ter., August 8, 1861.
MAJOR: I have the honor to report, for the information of the general commanding the department, that with an escort of dragoons I accompanied Governor Nye, of this Territory, on his visit to the Indians about the vicinity of Pyramid Lake. Found them all peaceably disposed, and have no doubt but that they will remain so if they are not disturbed by the white settlers. The Governor made them some presents, and they appeared to be very well satisfied. I am, sir,
very respectfully, your obedient servant,
Lieutenant-Colonel First Dragoons, Commanding Post.
